Recoil's Alan Wilder on Morrissey
Posted on Mon, Oct 18 1999 at 8:15 a.m. PDT
by David T. <david@Morrissey-solo.com>
From Michael Nissen:

I just found this on the "Recoil" homepage, where Alan Wilder (former Depeche Mode) answers questions from fans of Recoil. I am myself not really fan of Depeche Mode or Recoil, but a friend of mine told me of Alan Wilder's comments on Morrissey. These are listed below.

Q+A's:

Have you ever met Morrissey and if so what do you think of him?
- I've never met him but I'm a great admirer of his words. His music's not adventurous enough though.

Do you not feel that if Moz [Morrisey] was more 'musically adventurous' it would perhaps detract from the lyrics for which is he esteemed?
- No, on the contrary, it would enhance them.

My question is about Morrissey. Have you had a chance to pick up his new album 'My Early Burglary Years', a B-side + rarity collection? If so, what do you think of it? And secondly, and more importantly, is Moz on your list of possible vocalists for the next Recoil album?
- No, I haven't heard it. I haven't actually seen it - is it out yet? I do like Morrissey's voice and I think he would suit Recoil. What do you think?

Have you ever seen Morrissey live?
- No.
