Stylish Moz, Gaz's specs, menacing Boz, Mikey's backing vocals, Brooding Jesse, and is that Matt? Great video, but I can't help thinking this has slipped out in the way the leaks did, it looks like an unclipped unfinished item, but then, it is out there, so we should enjoy it. By the way, that audience surely has to have been sliced from Eurovision 1974 or something, unless they paid several hundred to dress in kipper ties and flares.

Best Wishes,

Enjoyed watching it, you should all check it out!

Typical Morrissey. Simple, but effective.

My speakers are buggered. Looked good though.

Hmm :-(

It's Alain on drums!

yeah, that timecode in all the audience shots comes when you buy stock footage. the production company then selects the footage and orders it from the stock house. the stock house then releases a beta or digital source of the stock without timecode to be recut into the final product.

so in english.... this is either an unfinished product or it's a gimmick to keep the unpurchased stock shots with timecode.

Where is Alain...didn't he write at least half of the songs on this album?

Where is he?

Where is he?

Cheesey clothes, cheesey backdrops, the bored looks on the faces of the audience.

Esultate!

the 1:05-1:07 mark of the video!
Now that wuz so hilarious whilst I was looking @ the video...
Makes sense, not having a true replacement drummer, why not have Mr. Whyte play the drums (and sing some backup vox)
There you have all MOZ' musicians...

Remember, 1:05-1:07 mark..

Mozzer, you have killed me. I especially love the "tricolore" guitar/bass straps on the lads! Oh, and those little smiles of yours...

Also, is it just me or does Gaz look quite hot?

Would some kind soul convert the clip to Mpeg, Wmv or Avi.I Want to see stylish Moz :'-( *cries*

this video's concept has been done many, many times before (nirvana off the top of my head), but it's still a very nice promo. was that alain on drums? the transmission was a bit crappy. i'll never accept tobias as a member of the band though -- too much of an asshole.

the funny thing is the presentation is being done by a man who has a strong tuscan accent (as I do, being from Florence) which is considered something rather funny here and people generally makes fun of us because of the way we speak!
Anyway, OF COURSE, I'm sooooo proud the album was recorded in Rome, MOz mentions Rome in DGPHM, Pasolini, Magnani in YHKM...I'm Italian after all, shall I not be?! :-)

THANKYOU, Keegster!

Morrissey's expression at the end is perfect; Eurovision Song Contest, indeed!

It's taking ages to load, but from the first seconds i realized the host of the 'eurocontest' is talking with a funny italian voice, probably from tuscany: Signore e signori è con grande piacere che vi presentiamo un ospite davvero speciale: MORRISSEY".
Which means:" Ladies and gentleman it's a great honour to introduce to you a very special guest: MORRISSEY!"

I Love this new italian Moz

2:04, what on earth is he doing with his hand right when he says 'key'? I'm off to play in the gutter now.

I also like the little smirk he does at the end. And yes, it does certainly look like Alain on drums.

You can download it to your computer, you don't have to stream it

Plus, it says UNCUT video, jesus

I can hear it but can't see it.... anyone want to hazard a guess why that is?

...God, I do really love him...

Jesus, Morrissey, you're looking old as hell. That suit looks frumpy, to boot.

average, the concept and execution of the video is very good. Much better than the videos from YATQ.

It is beautiful....
the purplish background, Mozza dapper in white...

he's also wearing a ring on the third finger of his left hand... if I didn't know any better I'd think it just happened to be a ring... but with Moz, is anything accidental?

If this Italian affair is so strong, what is Morrissey waiting for?
We are waiting for you to debut your Tour here, in Italy!

Certainly grows on you with every passing play.

I love it lots! One of his best videos in awhile!

love
math+

thats the best thing i've seen in ages! What a catchy tune it just grows and grows, you cant stop singing it! I've been a moz fan for ages and can be very critical but this will appeal to alot more people than usual, i can even see this being played at discos and student unions across europe! could it be no. 1

Keegster is the king of Moz Solo (today at least)...
Boz looks very angry! Perhaps it is Morrissey's suit that has incurred his displeasure, or maybe Jesse...

Here we go again. Another desperately poor, cheaply made video. WHEN are we going to see a slick video produced, behind which has been a reasonable budget, or at the VERY LEAST an idea? I am sick and tired of seeing the same, turgid performance. This is the IBEH video, without a real studio audience and some fancy video effects to age it. I've watched it twice, and can safely say I'll never want to watch it again.

Morrissey fans don't need to see a video to buy the music. So the video must be aimed at the casual/new Morrissey record buyer. This tosh won't persuade anyone new to buy the single. They'll buy it due to liking the song - the video adds NOTHING extra to it.

I immediately think of the Keane video for 'Everybody Changes'. I'm no Keane fan, but the video is superb, must have cost pennies, and drew in a new audience. Even I could come up with a better concept than the garbage I've just witnessed.

Dear God, please help Morrissey find an inspirational video producer.

Keegster your keen nose has paid off handsomely!

I know Santuary can't write a cheque these days but I'm amazed it's come to this.

Obviously Moz suggested or agreed to a Eurovision theme but this doesn't really do that - aside from the audience shots which are quite funny. It looks like a live Jools Holland or Top Of The Pops perfrormance and this is meant to be the FIRST AND VITAL SINGLE?

Pathetic.

I can see the joke, yes, but it isn't given the opportunity to work.

Also, the BBC broadcast in 16:9 widescreen now, so this video will appear in a box within the screen.

No humour, no style, no relevance to the song. It's a dreadful, dreadful video and that's that.

The video reminds me of a boring version of the "Sing Your Life" video. They tried to capture the same thing as they did with the Sing Your Life Video. However, it doesn't work here. The Sing Your Life video caught a glimpse of the 50's scene. This video tries to capture the 70's scene and poorly achieves it.

If there going to have a budget of only one hundred dollars then they shouldn't even bother with a video. The whole band playing scene is tiresome.

Here I am complaining again, I must not be a Morrissey fan. I should just be saying "Hail to the almighty MOZ" that would make most of you happy.

I remember reading that Alain did know how to play drums a long time ago, but he also said that he was rubbish at them now. I wonder if hes good enough to play live?

It will not gain any new fans, in my opinion.

Moz is going to be PISSED.

nice video, but more or less the same format as usual. Does anyone know what became of the much hyped but little delivered True To Yew spoof site?

I found it entertaining. Not like edge-of-your-seat entertaining, but like a good friend's company sort of entertaining. Besides that, I'm finding the song is growing on me. For me, having now watched him sing it, it takes some of the earnestness out of it and makes it more playful and ironic. I enjoyed it.

Moz v. Andre...a whole band of Morrisseys would have been really fantastic...

That IS Alain! I know it's been semi-confirmed on here already, but if you concentrate on the 1:03- 1:10 range of the video, you can deffo tell.
It does seem like he smirks right after looking at Alain - it's probably absolutely hilarious to him to look back and see Alain sitting at the drums! :P

A few weird things that struck me about the video and they 'mysterious' uploading of it to Google:

1)I noticed that the stock footage at the end has the letters and numbers reversed (a mirror image) which is kind of weird. Anyone think they're leaving the timestamp in there on purpose, to give it that retro, unfinished look? I think so, but it could just be an unfinished thing.

2)Google lists the video as the "You Have Killed Morrissey" video. Ha!

3)The person who uploaded the video spelled Morrissey's name wrong ('Morrisey') which is kind of weird. It's just a little summary sentence which says it's Morrissey's new uncut video. Look at the bottom right after you load and start playing the video.

I wonder who leaked it who would've made all of those semantic errors. Weird eh?

(I bet it was Jesse. I have it on very good authority that he still misspells Morrissey's name! LOL)

Another crappy video.

An absolutely brilliant song. That tune is so easy to pick up. Again, Moz and team are making extremely high quality pop music.

BRAVISMO!!!!!!!!!!!

I think whoever commented that the drummer is Alain in disguise is probably right. Now that he's drummer, he'll probably get kicked out soon.

I don't know the rules behind Google Video...but, I wonder if Morrissey's lawyers are going to threaten David for posting a link to the video which itself may be a copyright violation.

In this promo, I saw a perhaps shyer Morrissey than that other Moz that appeared with a white blazer, in the "Irish Blood" video. Not any less classy and talented though. He is facing a different audience, here, to the point it was funny to me: at the end of the show, instead of the cheers, and arms up, a very composed audience, like the one you see in operas and classical music concerts. I had to laugh at the end, because it was clear Morrissey's face told he felt pleased, but awkward playing to such a moderate public. His outfit is not neff, it is divine, he is simply looking gorgeous, having lost that slighlty puffy look he had while here in the States. I'm sorry to seem so materialistic, but oh, God he's so handsome...

¡Pienso que la canción asombra totalmente! ¿Muy bien escrito, bien estructurado. el video es curioso. ..Quien es ese tipo mexicano calvo con los pantalones flojos? ¿Debe ser Tobias Jesus? Yo apuesto él es un miembro anterior de la pandilla- él se parece a uno de esos mexicano Nazis que utilizamos para llamar MAZIS aquí en Tejas del sur un nazi Mexicano. él es tan atractiva, mas no tan scarry. yo me pregunto si él era uno de los miembros de la pandilla que se pararon en las calles con Hector?? VIVA Jesse Tobias! ¿Le tenido estuvo jamás en el amor? Jesse- LE TENIDO ESTUVO JAMAS EN EL AMOR???!!!

It's got me energized. I enjoyed that, about ten times. :%D

I'm sold- a classic video!
thetexasbloke

What do you all notice on his left hand?? on his ring finger?? What in the world is that? Am i missing something here? Good video but boring like always

an ok video the song is definetly a downer

sounds like an outtake from southpaw grammar
blah

cant wait to see him live in oklahoma though

just crossing my fingers that too many of these new songs dont get played. from hearing i will see you in far off places and you have killed me it dosent get me excited about this new album

It is still raw footage.

What did you people expect - Antonioni? Perhaps Fellini?

Maybe he should have gone for a simple Dario Argento. That would be cutting edge...

Well, how did the video get on google in the first place? It's not morrissey solo that put it there. Well, good. Maybe someone will add a few more cutaways to this video. It looked like one, boring shot with a few audience shots put in.

Am I the only one that thinks Boz is actually looking a little slimmer?
