Word Greatest Hits review - David Quantick lays into Morrissey & his band
posted by davidt on Friday February 15 2008, @11:00AM

 Uncleskinny writes:
This thread (new Word Magazine; perhaps most vicious attack ever on Moz (in Greatest Hits review)) started by Maurice E. in the forums is all about David Quantick's 'review' of the Greatest Hits in the current edition of WORD magazine. He takes the opporunity to really have a go at Morrissey and his band. Hardly surprising for a man who called Morrissey a "vile scumbag" on national radio. Scans of the article can be found here.

Morrissey suggested as possible mystery headliner of 10-night run at Alexandra Palace (3-12 Dec.)

From the Muswell Hill Journal...

Mystery of Pally's 10-night supergig - Muswell Hill Journal

Excerpt:

One music industry observer, Rob Fitzpatrick, associate editor of Word Magazine based in Islington, said people there thought the most likely acts included Radiohead, The White Stripes and Morrissey, who earlier this month cancelled three nights of a six-night residency at Camden's Roundhouse venue.

Mr Fitzpatrick said: "I can sort of imagine someone like Morrissey doing 10 nights at a place like that. It is not a sort of heritage venue, like the Royal Albert Hall, and it is not a big money-spinner like the O2, which is built to get as many people in as possible in a small space.

"That's How People Grow Up" enters German WOM chart at #25

WOM Single Top 50

I thought it would reach only #40 oder 50. A little surprise, because the single has'nt got a b-side. It's a wonderful placement at german charts for that Morrissey single.

Roger Manning to play keyboards on upcoming album

Roger Joseph Manning Jr ( Jellyfish, Air, Beck) New Album - kittyradio.com forums

Producer Jerry Finn and I have had a long fun filled history together in Punk Pop heaven with group's like Blink 182 and found ourselves both being invited back for our second Morrissey album. I think fans will be pleasantly surprised by this new solo offering. It was all tracked live which added a great punk, garage, DIY urgency to the tracks. I am so used to recording keyboards in the more traditional overdub scenario that being asked to invent parts "on the fly" and track with the band while Morrissey sang live was a very refreshing and challenging experience.

How do you feel about Morrissey dropping the F-bomb during his recent concert in Hamburg, Germany? (suggested by Ken Stavitzke)
I support Morrissey's response
Morrissey could have replied differently
I am undecided
I don't care
The audience provocateur should be examined, not Morrissey's reply
