  • If you ask me this story was just a half baked, half arsed PR media stunt load of old crap to create brand awareness for the new Greatest Hits LP; they recycled the old story about Moz's apparant millions he was offered to do Coachella '06.
    I saw the follow up They-are-not-reforming article on NME.com and of course at the bottom it gave the release date for the Sound of the Smiths.
    Shame. They almost had us!

  • The Smiths should never reform. Ever.
    The good old Sun....
    What's next? Morrissey has actually eaten his "private bits" and the band are ready to reform?

  • The Coachella reunion is now like the urban legend of the guy who had his arm taken off by an 18 wheeler when he stuck his arm out the window of his car.

    It might happen if they put everybody in little cubicles on stage and they had no idea that the other 3 were within 500 feet of the other.

  • I am valued resident of Hell and it didn't freeze over yet, so I knew the reformation wasn't happening. And it will NEVER happen, mark my words now.

    The Smiths is dead, boys.

  • I had just bought my front-row ticket to Coachella from a sclaper for $10,000 - I wonder if they'll give my money back?
    I'm really just Some Totally Random Moz Fan
  • So The Smiths are NOT reforming. I really don't think anyone is very surprised by this latest 'update'.

    Makes you wonder why this lunatic 'story' was even posted here at all.

    The Smiths are dead. Long live The Smiths!

  • You can work with Jesse Tobias (Cough).

    The mere thought of Moz with that second rate no talent is enough to make a person sick.

    How good can things be for Morrissey if he's hitching his wagon to that clown.

    Yeah, it certainly is Marr who has nothing to offer.

  • moz and marr are still speaking to each other behind the scenes. i think the organizers should make more of a push to try to make that happen.

  • It doesn't take a genious to work out that Morrissey and Marr WILL share a concert stage again at some point before they die, the law of averages (and diminishing returns!) says so.

    Lets just hope its sooner rather than later.

  • There cannot ever be a Smiths reunion, the same people and attitudes and the band itself as a moment in time has gone, the band and its music is a fleeting moment based on the situation at that point in the universe. Who would want to see all four of those quys trying to recreate the past. What the world wants is for Morrissey and Marr to create a new project together. To me that would be a batch of new songs written only by Morrissey and Marr, or a concert tour of Morrissey and Marr and other musicians of Marr's choice playing bass and drums, billed as Morrissey and Marr, and playing other songs that the Morrissey and Smiths songbook.

  • Come on Morrissey, do some get out the vote shows in Texas? Or a Obama celebration party!!! This is will be the first election where the person I voted for actually won.

    Also, forget about The Smiths, I want a Morrissey cover album of The Kinks (or a dance cover album of Prince or a Stevie Nicks cover album). Time to ditch your songwriters of the last 16 years, 3 or 4 good songs an album is not good enough for the best singer of my generation.

    Love u,
    keith

  • Dead Boys...Well, Morrissey said so, anyway. When he makes his mind up, I don't think anything or anybody can change it.

    A Smiths Reunion WILL NEVER HAPPEN.

  • This is never ever going to happen, get over it. The Smiths legend will live on forever, they must never reform. Let us remember them as they were. Those legendary shows back in the 80's, the SFX and The National Stadium in Dublin and the two stunning shows in one year in The Savoy in Cork.

  • And of course you all know Morrissey and the rest of the lads so well. They confide in you all the time. Thanks for putting the rest of us straight on this silly reunion business. So the Sun made something out of nothing...er, it's a UK Newspaper, we know what they do. They're story was only speculation and they never said it was anything more, whereas you lot rubbish any reunion as though it's FACT. Who's worse, you or The Sun? A reunion wouldn't have to be the end of Morrissey's solo career. It wouldn't even have to last that long. You all seem to think it's either Morrissey solo or The Smiths. He's already singing a substantial amount of his Smiths songs on stage as it is! Yamaha

  • You sickos-keep wasting your time, your mind, your sweat -- and even your brain-dead brains too. You people just sit there - you just sit there with your jealousy.
    It's incredible you people just don't stop.

    More lies, more lies, and, and more rumors about Morrissey. The Smiths are never going to reunite. I see the retards still maintain that they are going to. Unbelievable, yous with your lies and rumors. It's a damn shame. Mike Gross, he's a lunatic, he doesn't have to have a reason to keep trying to take Morrissey's money, unjustly. He is so tenacious and jealous. So quit daydreaming and freaking out when you believe the rumors and lies that The Smiths are getting back together. I've said it before and I'll say it again, It's never going to happen.
    And you can't deal with that. It makes you angry.

    So to Mike Gross, while you are lying there like a vegetable -- powerless, soooo powerless - why don't you just kill yourself Mike Gross, you sicko - or I'm going to make you so damn mad that you're gonna want to kill yourself. I was just thinking why hasn't someone put a bullet in your skull, you jealous, jealous hater of the good looking, true, good looking talented awesome Morrissey. Why don't you get a job already Mike Gross - work harder - it's not like you have anything else to do. Morrissey is awesome and you are nothing but a powerless vegetable, Mike Gross - and I'm just warning you, quit making up lies and rumors about my baby - Morrissey.
    Mike Gross you are just a doormat, you're just a doormat and you can't deal with that. Too bad, too bad Haaaaa.....
