  • Feel free to suggest poll ideas if you're feeling creative. I'd strongly suggest reading the past polls first.

Drop the Ringleader tracks of course Moz! No need for so many of them in the first place. Play about 4 off ROTT and then play the rest of the set in a more 2002 tour fans favourites tour type thing. See you in Birmingham.

          It is the worst album in pop history.
          What he should do is play Thohm Yhork's solo album from start to finish; a work of utterly unappealing and totally humourless drivel, in keeping with the large majority of the Radiohead back catalogue (apart from a few catchy pop songs in the mid 90's like The Plastic Tree.)

                  Girlfriend In A Coma; I love it, but we've heard it lots now. I'm hoping he'll do Girl Afraid and Cemetry Gates, or even Well I Wonder. As for the solo stuff, well, anything from the Viva Hate b-sides or Your Arsenal will do nicely.
                  However, it's Morrissey, and Morrissey is as Morrissey does ... he does what he likes. He could spend an hour doing showtunes in Liza Minnelli's stockings for all I care, I'd still go crazy for him.

                        I'd Love to hear "A Swallow on my Neck" live. That is possibly my favourite Morrissey song. Everything comes together so well on that track. Also ADD the ending onto "Jack the Ripper" that he never sings live for some reason. I can't figure out why he sacrifices one of his most powerful endings in concert every time. "I Have Forgiven Jesus" tries for it but never acheives it. Still good, just not Jack the Ripper good.

                        I also think "Ambitious Outsiders" is an amazing track. Wonder why it doesn't receive much attention ?

                        Ah well, just a few tame comments.

                          remember the first review? we were promised the Morrissey masterpiece! and now we just want the songs dropped from the live set. doesn't say much for it does it? we voted Pigsty as the second best Moz solo song of all time. sounds like we don't think much of the rest of it. I think the lyrics are largely to blame; no real insight or humour or observation. you have killed me; he became a killer; father must be killed. boring, pointless irrelevant fiction about the act of killing. it's almost as tedious as the court case songs!

                            I think Morrissey should realise that his fans are not normal fans. Fans of other acts may go and see that band or artist once when on tour. Many Morrissey fans go more than once, hence the issue of setlists. If we all went to just one gig on the Ringleaders tour we probably would've been happy enough.

                            But we're not normal. I loved the first Ringleaders show I went to. Liked the 2nd, got bored at the third. Surely Moz knows that most of the usual faces are showing up night after night making the place look packed.

                            Even when he only had The Smiths body of work to pick from, they only did James' 'Whats The World' live.(His Latest Flame doesn't count).

                            I'd like to see some of the more rarely played tracks added to the set, like:
                            'Sunny'

                            'Unlovable'
                            or maybe even 'Tony The Pony' which, though the lyrics are a tad dubious, the melody of his voice on that track just melts me. He could always dedicate it to that grinning buffoon who *cough* runs our country.

                            Or maybe, if he must cover something, he should do that 'Melanie' track(or whatever it was called) that was erroneously claimed to be by him. Could be worth a laugh.

                                How about 'Stretch out and wait' and The boring 'Dear God' with his most awful lyric ever about the 'Kegs between his legs'. If BonJovi, Kiss or Whitesnake had written that, and they do, we would be falling about laughing at them.

                                'Let me kiss you', 'He Cried' and 'Death at ones elbow' are also very bleak.

                                However, we are talking about somebody who has about a 98% success rate of putting out great material. But why won't he play it live? The ROTT tour was good, but not great. The Liverpool show was very good, but the Manchester Apollo show was dead and that should have been the tour highlight as it was Saturday night, in the most bouncing venue in his home town.

                                He's dropped about 4 Ringleader songs! He's added Everyday and kept Pigsty; the two best Moz songs of all time according to Johan's poll.
                                A few intriguing choices. Bizarre to have dropped You Have Killed Me so soon. Very interested to hear how Please Please and Guilty have been arranged live.

                                  Im sorry but I find Ringleader the best of all Moz's solo CDs by far! It contains several tracks which have become my favourites and the b-sides like ganglord are good too. Quarry was way too by-the-numbers.

                                        You people are clueless, ringleader is lush in comparison to Quarry. It works so much better as an album and has some of Morrissey's best songs since vauxhal.
