Alain is top class. Good for him that he is out doing his own thing. Not to mention his songs of YOR are brilliant! I love 'Carol'.

why did he leave the band again, anyone?

Alain is often regarded as the better songwriter. Jesse, while severely limited in his writing ability, is better overall because he's "technically" superior.

Just my .02 cents.

I've always rated him as a guitarist and songwriter
its glad hes doing so well
He's still involved with Morrissey, but he just songwrites, hence why he hasn't been in band pictures or performing.
He has other projects on the go to.

let's all hope it happens.

alain, if you're reading this, get better soon and get back to working with the band proper.

he looks great on that!

We've still to see Alain naked.

Y'gotta' love how Torr submitted to M-Solo the link to this story but is right there at the top of original story's comments--bashing Alain and Morrissey.

This is the first picture of Alain I've seen for a long time too - I think he looks great. Healthy and happy. All the best to him, I say.

I bet none of us who saw him playing on those early '90s tours look as good now - we're all gonna be a bit older, greyer, ... OK - well, I am!

And as regards touring with Morrissey - why would he want to? He's been there and done it. Now he gets to do all of the creative stuff without the slogging around the world; let the younger guys do that.

I always thought Alain Whyte was black!

Do i win a prize?

Since he departed Morrissey’s band in 2004, Whyte has stayed busy as a songwriter for television, as well as working a production capacity with artists such as Deerheart and JoAnna James. He’s also collaborated a bit with Tiger Army.

I thought he also had his own band Red Lightning
which released an EP and toured ? Their shows
& music were legendary. I saw them at the Henry Fonda.

Again, the article is just another biased PR stunt to re-launch Alain's career. Its the same article written over and over again. He's been in a lul since he dis-banded Red Lightning. Which was THE best band that he had fronted. RL had a an unfortunate short shelf life, (not without a lot of publicity, including Moz himself at the first gig) but if were able to continue without "others" interfering, they would have been able to go on conquer. I think that the fact that RL is ALWAYS pushed to the side in Alain's profiles is really quite sad. Sad for the other band mates (John and Milo) who put their heart and soul into this band and they are really the ones who "re-launched" his career. I think they deserve more respect. I think Alain should really thank them.

On a side note: Alain doesn't look well. How can losing more that 30 to 40 lbs, in less than 2 months, be healthy. Its not.

Personally, Morrissey will not ask
Alain back to play again at all. This is why there is this "new" immersion of Alain. He has to make money somehow, besides publishing rights.

The biggest Alain Advocate. So where are you now?

that this is a Morrissey forum, not an Alain Whyte forum. God Bless peeps, find the boy on his own sites. There are quite a few. So talk about him on his own sites.

the main question for years

why doesn't he tour/play live with Morrissey

heard something of a physical excuse
a gig was canceled cause of his backproblems, so
maybe they must be chronicle, and touring is
too much hurting and damaging his back

any other clue's?

He looks like a cancer patient. I cannot believe this is the same guy who played guitar on the DVD "Who Put the M in Morrissey"

whom ever is doing his pr should be fired! Whyte looks like he hasn't bathed or shaved in many days! On top of that he is wearing a flannel shirt that even Kurt Cobain would'nt be caught dead in. What happened to the well groomed talented fella who was in Red Lightning and Moz?

You look like a coat on a stick

Then we should assume you know what someone with a drug habit looks like.
Usually a smile is associated with Happiness.

ha ha, riiiight, Alain has NEVER been a drug user.

is that you, jesse? jealousy getting the best of you? you'll never be as good as him. you make me SICK.

Um.

I happen to be a friend of Alains.

My band supported Johnny Panic a loooong time ago when Alain was playing with them and we became close.

I can assure you, and everyone else, that Alain does not now, nor has he ever, had a drug habit. The odd beer now and then is about as close to a vice that Alain has.

Kimura

yes, he went on a diet because people were giving him a complex about being "heavy", even though he wasn't.

i thought he looked awesome with a little extra weight on his bones, but he was starting to feel self-conscious about it.

viva Alain! I love you baby.
