the dead may rise and i might sprout wings and fly within the next 10-15 years.

who cares?

About three years ago, having been disappointed by Quarry, I would have loved to hear these words, but now I think it's a very bad idea. Admittedly Ringleaders was no great shakes, but it WAS an improvement on Curry IMO, and two of the new songs, "All You Need Is Me" and "Goodbye Will Be Farewell", I think are very good indeed. I actually think Morrissey is more interesting as a solo artist these days, for all his post 1995 inconsistency, and I am optimistic that we may see a return to full strength with the next record. Besides, Vauxhall is as good as any Smiths album bar Meat and the Queen, while Arsenal isn't so far off. The reunion is not needed from Morrissey's point of view. But I would like to see Marr supply Moz with a few tunes, because he has a melodic grace that Morrissey's other - often very good - collaborators have failed to match.

10-15 years? Not even next year, let alone then...
Perhaps Morrissey and Marr could get together for a "thing", but never with Joyce and Rourke.

Get over it.

is this another way to the press to get us all fired up??? Not going to happen, Maybe in the next world!

Remember the best friends you had in school or college, when did you last see them? Do you have anything in common with them now? And if someone paid you a vast sum of money to be their constant companion again at the expense of your current friends, could you?
People come and go from your life; your best friend now might be a Christmas card acquaintance in the not too distant future. Still, there's the remotest of possibilities Moz will start pining for bygone days. However, whereas Johnny has flitted between different sets of musicians and not needed any to be 'close', Morrissey counts colleague and friend as the same; he won't dump his band unless they fall out or call time on him.

Maybe they will re-form without Morrissey and we can all get a good laugh.

He was obviously joking.

Oh, yes - it's been reported on NME.com so it must be completely true - they never take people's words out of context, as their recent 'exclusive' about Morrissey's retirement proved.

I'd rather see another 55 minute, 15 song Maladjusted Tour show then to sit through a Smiths reunion show.

Good idea!

Morrissey is a Fantastic solo artist in his own name. There are no words to describe him. Why on Earth should he part-take in a tawdry Smiths reunion? It would be cheap cheap cheap....
Please Morrissey don't do it!

Hey I hear that TV show Rock Star w/ Dave Navarro is planning to find the next lead singer for the Smiths. I hope it's a girl this time!

After the release of All You Need Is Me, there is no doubt many musicians would give there right arm to work with Morrissey.

It's a shame, what has happened to the others, since those giddy days, but I can recall the events when Morrissey was left to stand alone. And stand alone he did - and, for the last 20 years as well thank god - so, bless them for walking away and remember that money does not charge EVERYONE. Some people still have morals, dignity and integrity. Plus Morrissey now has a band now that are much better than the other Smiths put together and that's the honest truth -go and listen to them yourselves on the US tour !!!!

Strawberry.

innit

*yawn*

There is no way on this earth that Morrissey will ever reform The Smiths. He does not need to do it. He is the only ex-smith with a solid career even Johnny who is just hopping from one job to the next. Modest Mouse will all end in tears. Viva hate, Vauxhall & Quarry are all as good as anything he did with The Smiths even Ringleaders or dare I say it Southpaw are very good albums. I hope thay never reform, not just because I saw them live about a dozen times but in a decades time they will be up there with Tthe Beatles who we have had been told over and over again by the media are the greatest band ever, not so The Smiths are the most glorious, Godlike band ever with a flawless back catalogue (even Golden Lights)

Just like he did twenty three years ago when he said "The Smiths will never make a video." Now, THAT was a promise he should have kept.

I mean, obviously if they wanted to reunite now, they could and would. They have always, together and seperately, controlled every move of their careers, for detriment or betterment. In 15 years all the ego will be gone, and so of course they'll likely reunite...for the fun of it. Money's not an issue. Right now they're still proving points. Of COURSE they'll get back together. How can you people even debate it. Whether they should or should not isn't even relevant.

Pink Floyd recently reunited after 20-something years, and in my opinion it was one of the greatest moments in music I've ever seen. Reuniting a band doesn't mean you have to become best friends with your old bandmates.. it just means you have to realize "hey, we wrote great music together, and we let petty arguments turn into big ones. let's set aside our differences and play some great music again!" I mean, do you really think Morrissey is great friends with his bandmates now?

Am I the only one with the humorous thought of sixty year-old men dancing and singing those songs that saved our lives?

You morons, that's not Johnny Marr. It's just Icicles, back yet again.

Johnny wants to have some offers thrown his way as well...

I think it is to a point that simply, why should the Smiths reunite? Our Moz is so much better now. I am married with three kids; why should I reunite with my first love? Don't get me wrong Marr, you are one of the best but in 10-15 years? I think we'd all want to be dead by that time.

'And I know it's over - still I cling
I don't know where else I can go'

From a beautiful thing called MorrisseyMarr

No Smiths reunion but rather Johnny and Moz writing some stuff together?
  I think that's something we could all agree on.
  It would be interesting and chances are, it would be pretty good stuff without the whole re-hash thing of The Smiths.

This was a headline on Radio 2 yesterday afternoon. "10 to 15 years". Honestly.

You all yawn and tut at a potential smiths reunion, but if it does happen (I'm not saying it will) you'll still be fighting to get tickets with the rest of us.

Marr is trying to make money from the Smiths i'am tierd of listening of his story's
the Smiths are dead!!!!

Morrissey goes on..

all you need is me is quality, saw it on u-tube, really like it, try new manchester band the courteeners, they are class.

...It's the Bomb that will bring them together

Theres more chance of me becoming straight, and having sex with a women.

FYS (iseeyou)

its just not going to happen, so get over it and be happy that moz is still making music.
