Re: Preston's (Ordinary Boys) comeback.
Thought The Ordinary Boys were a really good band, excellent live, this solo single is awful, couldn't believe just how bad it was when I first heard it.
I've just pre ordered all 3 formats even though I am disappointed there's no new songs on there. Surely the live versions of TCM and Best Friend could have been put on the b side of one of the cds and then a couple of new songs on the other one? I've bought all the formats of his singles for...
Love The Manics, can't wait to hear the new album. Disappointed they aren't playing in the North East but am going to try to get a ticket for Glasgow, don't want to miss this chance to hear the songs on Journal ......, don't think they'll ever play any of the songs from it live again after this...
I think he will quite easily get back in the top 20 again, although not with any more singles from YOR, but I think the top 10 is another matter, I reckon that is out of reach for him now.
Really like their album. Know nowt about them, just heard it playing in hmv a couple of weeks back and had to ask who it was. Bought the album and was really impressed with it.
Was thinking something similar yesterday when I saw the tracklistings of the upcoming special editions of Radioheads first 3 albums, each one is 3 discs including original album, around 20 outakes, b sides etc and a dvd including videos, tv appearances etc. A lot more could have been done with...
Maybe that's why it is still in the set after nearly 5 years, with the amount of less well known songs, b sides and so on that he sings he maybe feels there has to be something that everyone knows and will respond too. Personally I'm sick of hearing it and was never that keen on it in the first...
The other side of this I guess are the younger fans who are into Quarry onwards more than the older songs. After the Sunderland concert last year I heard a group of lads talking, they would be about 17/18 years old, and they were saying they wished Morrissey had sung more recent songs than he...
T Rex - The Slider
David Bowie - .......Ziggy Stardust........
Prince - Around The World In A Day
Manic Street Preachers - Send Away The Tigers
Green Day - American Idiot
Meatloaf - Bat Out Of Hell
The Stone Roses - The Stone Roses
Tygertailz - Bezerk
On the last tour (or certainly the dates I went to) the only ROTT songs he played were I Just Want To See The Boy Happy and Pigsty (two songs not 4-5) and Pigsty is still being played most nights on this tour so far.
It should certainly be dropped from the live set, along with several others. New tour should equal new set list and so far this tour just seems like a slightly rejigged 2008 set.
Disappointed those two songs are missing from the re-issue, it makes the whole thing seem incomplete, like we still aren't getting the "definitive edition" of the album.
In no particular order at the moment I would say:-
The Smiths
There Is A LIght That Never Goes Out
I Know It's Over
What She Said
Reel Around The Fountain
I Won't Share You
You Just Haven't Earned it Yet, Baby
Asleep
William, It was Really Nothing
Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get...
Far better choice of single than Black Cloud but I don't imagine it getting much in the way of airplay or videoplay (no change there really) and expect it to be Morrissey's lowest charting single since Satan Rejected My Soul. I hope I'm wrong of course, it deserves to do well, but I'll be...
