can you let us know which Smiths and Morrissey songs he played?
cheers.

I get nothing, just a white screen.

you can watch the video. It's in the documents folder, which only members can see. Takes less than a minute to join, but you need a hotmail address first I believe.

Alain looks cool -- real cockney isn't he?

Erm...how old is Jose?

great photos.... was the crowd receptive to his "solo" songs?

Did he play any of the new songs? Or talk about the new album?

jeez

um...why is this guy playing smiths songs and morrissey solo stuff he had nothing to do with? so does he not only work with morrissey, but moonlight as a morrissey tribute act? that's just sad...i guess he knows he'd never have a career otherwise.

I love Alain and i think he's a great singer. It's very out of character for me to flame in this way that has totally nothing to do with the music or the way he sounds, but this has been bothering me for years...

Playing Gretsch Guitars with Cowboy Shirts is too much overkill...like a striped shirt with striped pants, and/or a striped tie. And...I live in Texas, and rednecks ain't all they're cracked up to be. It's kinda hard to swallow that lump when I see my heroes tip their hat to that image in the first place. To each his own, sure...but still...(gulp). I hope Alain isn't driving that Gretsch around in a Ford F150 while wearing a cell phone holster like the assholes here in Austin. All that's missing on that Gretsch is a Dale Earnhart "3" sticker. I know I'm laying it on thick now, but for some reason I feel like I have to say something due to the large number of years I've been seeing this particular fashion statement. I have 2 ways to go: this way or the Adam Ant cap gun way. Since we're all grown up and dress serious now in rock & roll, I'll go the cell phone holster way.

if the producer is so important in making Alain's and Boz's songs remotely listenable, how come so many of us love 'First of the Gang' when we've only ever heard the live version, and haven't got a clue what the producer's gonna do with it?

no-one will ever match Johnny Marr's astonishing creativity, particularly his 1986-87 peak. not Boz nor Alain nor any other pop song composer on planet earth.

But Boz and Alain have provided some fantastic pieces of music over the years admittedly mixed in with some less good stuff. but after 7 years, Moz will have picked their strongest musical compositions and his own sharpest lyrics so, hopefully, we're in for an absolute treat, and that's thanks to Morrissey, Boz and Alain.
