    MOJO - April 2011 cover

    IN THIS ISSUE

    ...THE SMITHS: Recorded 25 years ago, The Queen Is Dead is Morrissey and Marr’s masterpiece, its power and arrogance forged on the road in 1985. Martin Aston tells the story of a legendary tour, Jon Savage salutes a band in its prime and a cast of stars praise the album, track by track.

      Beautiful cover of the CD, as seen before on Moz_solo.

      I would love to shake the cover star's hand... before marrying her.

      The Wrong Boy.

      Morrissey looks pale, young and beautiful. Hair seems unusually dark there though.

      Nope....Rourke and Joyce were just as important.
      The Smiths image and music was complete with the Bassist and Drummer.
      Another drummer recreating Joyce's Reel Around The Fountain drum beat? Another Bassist recreating Barbarism Begins At Home? ....no thanks

      Well he drops in the most absolutely terrible anonymous spyish way to say "hi"
      That's worse than spy spying on people with the word "spy" wrote in neon pink writing across his clothes and forehead!

      I think that the brains behind the Smiths were Moz & Marr, without Rource & Joyce would not be the Smiths we Know & love but, with "the drive & Ambition of Moz & Marr it would still be great

      I agree with you 100%

      And I hope the girl in the photo is being compensated for her image. She deserves it. It's such an iconic photograph.

      Notebooks out
      Plagiarists


      So you wanna be a music journalist???

      If I was a betting man.. which I am... Morrissey and Marr... by the end of 2012...playing a few gigs... ???

      I always believed music journalism was something to aspire to but then I realised those who can't, teach.

      got enough Mojo/Q special sedits about The Smiths and Morrissey [till Quarry.Mojo]

      so Id say anothger cheap issue made, enough stuff to get a intervieuw

      well 15 euroos is too much, even getting a disc

      [dunno the real price , but for thse special ones it goies between 10-15 euroos, 6 years ago]

      Just pick up a Mojo Classic around me table, Morrissey &the story of Manchster

      also

      ' The Smiths;
      The Truth!
      all four
      speak,,,

      other band like Joy Division, Oasis, Stone Roses mentioned on the cover [6 pounds, 5 years ago, 147 pages]

      It's not even of Marr and Morrissey. It's a badly spliced collision of two different (not very good) shots of Morrissey and Marr
