Just a quickie to clear up a few things... There are two people who were in The Smiths that are now working with Vinny Peculiar. They are, Craig Gannon and Mike Joyce. There used to be three people who were in The Smiths that worked with Vinny Peculiar, but not anymore. Andy Rourke was in The Smiths and used to be in Vinny Peculiar, but sadly, that’s no longer the case. Stephen Street produced some great work with The Smiths but not with Vinny Peculiar. Jo Fossard is the producer of the new Vinny Peculiar album entitled, “The Fall & Rise of Vinny Peculiar. There was never officially a keyboard player in The Smiths although occasionally Johnny Marr played piano and Emulator. The keyboard player with Vinny Peculiar is Ben Knott who was never in The Smiths. The singer in Vinny Peculiar is Vinny Peculiar. Tracks from the forthcoming album can be heard at: http://www.myspace.com/vinnypeculiar

For those people who seem to think that Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce are no longer on speaking terms, you can see the pair not speaking to each other, “live” when they will be D.J’ing together on Friday the 14th July at “Jamm” 261 Brixton Rd. www.brixtonjamm.org

Marr won't speak to Joyce though (Score:0)
Rourke and Joyce might be on speaking terms

But Marr won't speak to Joyce again after the royalties fiasco. Hence the no-show for Joyce at Manchester Versus Cancer.

When it says on the internet that they aren't talking. How are people supposed to know otherwise.
No need to be so hostile mr news story writer!

    Fuck You!

    Nobody really cares about Vinny Peculiar.
    Nobody really cares about Ben Knott.
    Nobody really cares about your "lesson" in Smiths history and of their line-ups.
    Nobody really cares if Joyce and Rourke are on speaking terms. Hang the fucking DJ's!

    In short, "On Song" Records and company, nobody gives a fuck about you. So fuck off! We wish you, Vinny Peculiar and the band and all the entrails...the very worst. So There.

    Mike got what was rightly his you cretins. He was the drummer in THE SMITHS, not a session player.
    And, let it be known that Marr, Rourke and Joyce are all speaking, Morrissey being the only one thats not.

      Let's not forget Paul Carrack, who played keyboards on the Smiths' debut album!
      And why would people hate Mike Joyce? Leave it! If it's the money; it's not YOUR money he was after, was it? He did a fine job in the Smiths. But I do think he got more than he deserved, but then again, so did Portugal yesterday.
