Re: Johnny Marr's statement about the Smiths rumour
The most laughable part is that someone believed that an event as meaningless as the Stone Roses doing it too would make this happen.
Re: Johnny Marr's statement about the Smiths rumour
Thats unlikely though!

pure ignorance for a website to post something like that without a reliable source.
Re: Johnny Marr's statement about the Smiths rumour
If Morrissey is declaring that his current band is "the best band I've ever worked with" as he recently did in Japan, do you really think he would even want to associate with Marr? It seems like he is happy living in Fantasy Land where he doesn't need anyone who could ever possibly outshine him or have as much of a say as him musically.

Its like trying to knit gravy,Davie.It's not gonna happen.
Re: Johnny Marr's statement about the Smiths rumour
Read the Internets lately? Your rebuke reminds me of the line in "Apocalypse Now": "Charging a man with murder in this place was like handing out speeding tickets at the Indy 500".
Re: Johnny Marr's statement about the Smiths rumour
He's definately in Fantasy Land! He thinks it's the best band because they never argue with him....OBEY MR MORRISSEY! OBEY MR MORRISSEY!
Re: Johnny Marr's statement about the Smiths rumour
Johnny Marr couldn't outshine the Cribs
Re: Johnny Marr's statement about the Smiths rumour
True. Now, if the Inspiral Carpets, Easterhouse and Red Guitars were to reform, things might reach critical mass...
Re: Johnny Marr's statement about the Smiths rumour
He did in the sense that he was the only notable thing about the band and brought them plenty of attention with just his name. Which is what I'm sure they wanted. I've always been of the opinion though that you don't get Johnny Marr in your band and then relegate him to rhythm guitar which has happened in the last two bands he has been in. So he really hasn't had much of a chance to do his own thing lately until he resurrected the Healers.
Morrissey on the other hand has been solo for almost 25 years and has been solely in charge for so long I highly doubt he wants to go from star to co-star. Boorer, Whyte, Street, Nevin, Rourke, Corbin, Day, Farrell, and Tobias have never been considered equals to Morrissey the way Marr has always been.
Re: Johnny Marr's statement about the Smiths rumour
Because I'm always right;
The Smiths again? NEVER.
we'll let you know
Re: Johnny Marr's statement about the Smiths rumour
Couldn't agree more. It seems like a shame that Morrissey's pride prevents him from considering a powerful co-writer like Marr again, because sharing the spotlight never bothered him in The Smiths and it has the potential to be hugely productive musically. Yet when it comes to talk of reunions, there's a strange kind of honour in that stubbornness too - something steely and self-destructive that I can't help but admire a little. Remember, Marr burned him by walking out on him; perhaps Moz is still a little sore and doesn't want the AWOL Wonderboy to return, Messiah-like, and appear to "save" his career after all these years of winging it on his own. Morrissey is the only Smith to have had a real solo career, truthfully. So if it's coming to a natural end...maybe the Captain wants to go down with his ship? Maybe that's why he's making these absurdly grand pronouncements about the current band. We all know (including him) that he doesn't really mean it, but it's the fact that he's heard saying it that counts. It's the verbal equivalent of the SMITHS IS DEAD t-shirt - it says, "I will not back down".

Or days after Joyce's radio station goes live? Nice opportunity today for him to get it mentioned in various media when he quickly offered his two pence worth. Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm!
Re: Johnny Marr's statement about the Smiths rumour
I think he absolutely believes it. I think he also absolutely believes that his last three albums have been the best of his career. I also think he believes his next two albums (that he has written but not recorded) are even better than those three combined!
Morrissey just seems like the type of guy who dislikes the majority of his back-catalog because he's so far removed from the feelings he had when he wrote them that they are now meaningless. He only seems like he can relate to his current crop of songs, and therefore only finds value in them. Which is probably why he is constantly retroactively altering his discography.
Re: Johnny Marr's statement about the Smiths rumour
Interesting.
