To be honest, I don't really think that's the case.
ROTT was much more extensively toured in the UK than Quarry but sold less than half as much. Press doesn't tend to make much difference. Just look at the media profile of Pete Doherty; his record sales are disastrous because his songs...
I know some of you hate these speculative threads but I can't resist them!
For some context, Quarry did brilliantly commercially, selling over 350,000 in the UK (over a million worldwide). Despite reaching number 1, ROTT did a lot less well selling about 150,000 (still above the 50-100,000 that...
Re: What do you think of the new Morrissey single, "I'm throwing my arms around Paris
well, it's a pretty good result with over 60% of us considering it to be at least a really good Morrissey single.
this is a similar to reception to You Have Killed Me but, thankfully, a lot better than THPGU...
Re: What do you think of the new Morrissey single, "I'm throwing my arms around Paris
whoops, must've ticked the 'game' box by mistake. soz!
there seems to be a recurring theme in modern day Morrissey songs that the lyrics are often the worst part of the song.
how times change...
Lots of discussion on the new single but would be good to get the consensus.
Did the same for 'You Have Killed Me' and 'THPGU' so would be good to compare results...
Re: Legendary guitarist Jeff Beck plays on 'Years of Refusal'?
oh yeah. I'd forgotten about that. maybe it was true afterall, especially as we also know that Hynde provides BVs on a new song.
unbelievable!
Re: Legendary guitarist Jeff Beck plays on 'Years of Refusal'?
yeah, it's interesting news. as mentioned above, I'm intrigued to know how the connection was made. is he a friend of Boz's or of Morrissey's new manager?
the idea of a hoary old 60's blues guitar legend playing on a solo...
Legendary guitarist Jeff Beck plays on 'Years of Refusal'?
Just spotted this from the main page:
"Long time band members Boz Boorer, Jesse Tobias, Matt Walker, and Solomon Walker play on the album, which also features a contribution from Jeff Beck on the track "Black Cloud"."
Apols if...
I'd argue to the contrary. It's been a fairly bad year for Moz.
As far as the NME/immigration issue goes, mud clearly does stick.
His description as a 'big quiffed bigot with dodgy views on immigration' seems to have been generally accepted in the press - virtually every live review mentioned...
ok, I will stop throwing toys out of pram!
I like Simon Amstell. a very amusing chap and I laffed at the joke.
but if Moz had heard, reckon he would've not been amused to say the least...
Right, so who was the naughty mod who moved this to 'off topic'?!
This topic involves a Morrissey song being played on a terrestrial UK channel i.e. to millions of people. It included a joke at Morrissey's expense implying that he is not in the clear with the whole racism/immigration issue...
Morrissey/'First of the the Gang' on Never Mind the Buzzcocks
Meant to post sooner that FOTG featured in 'guess the intros' last week on Never Mind the Buzzcocks performed unrecognisably by some R&B bloke and Phil Jupitus. It was guessed correctly altho as a song by The Smiths (which wasn't...
The 14th best Morrissey song, to be precise! Even better than Nobody Loves Us. http://forums.morrissey-solo.com/showthread.php?t=83646&page=2
How I wish Moz would stop using those ghastly synth strings and revert to the real thing. The strings in the Viva Hate era songs were wonderful.

Dear lord, if ever a subject has been done to death!
For all you need to know about solo and Smiths songs, look at the results of the biggest ever Moz/Smiths poll covering all 234 songs.

Re: Moz in Oasis LA dressing room
here's the full quote:
"They reckon Morrissey's on the guestlist tonight! Really? I'll believe it when I see him," he wrote. "An Oasis concert doesn't sound like the natural environment where one would see a Morrissey."
However, Gallagher was forced to...
