I am sorry for all the fans who had tickets for this show - and indeed any other show that Moz has cancelled over the years. People get older, lose enthusiasm and I suspect it is the same for Morrissey. I made the decision to stop seeing him live after a lackluster show in LA a few years ago...
"The subsequent release of World Peace Is None of Your Business proved to be a masterpiece that resonated worldwide with fans and critics alike." I missed that ...
This recording sounds bloody awful. I think I will dig out my vinyl copy of 'Beethoven Was Deaf' - recorded with an excellent, cohesive band and featuring songs like 'Jack The Ripper', 'We'll Let You Know' and 'I Know It's Gonna' Happen Someday'. I prefer to think of Moz this way … don't like...
PJ Proby was pretty legendary in his day for no shows, walking off mid song and chucking abuse at the punters. Don't think he can hold a candle to Mozza though. Incidentally, PJ's version of 'Love Will Tear Us Apart' is cracking …
People chucked piss at the New Yorks Dolls and called them queer … fag's … scum. They never walked off stage in a tizzy, they stood their ground and played harder. Ditto The Pistols. Ditto Penetration. Ditto Buzzcocks … ditto every f***ing band Morrissey admires. He isn't a f***ing opera singer...
Demented Hatred? Please. I love Moz and have done since seeing The S****** on the Meat is Murder tour. But I have my critical faculties and I find his behavior of recent years inexcusable. Many of his fans go to great lengths, practical and economic to attend several shows at various venues. To...
"Devious, truculent and unreliable" … again. How the f*** does he get insurance to tour? Like Welles' Citizen Kane, Moz has become a 'cartoon-like caricature of a man who is hollowed out on the inside. Forlorn, defeated, solitary because he cannot command the total obedience, loyalty...
Leonard Cohen was in his 70's and he managed two world tours, no dates cancelled and played for over two hrs each night. Nick Cave is two years older than Morrisneezy and he manages to tour, throw his arms about, and not cancel dates. Morrissey is not a f***ing geriatric … just a lazy arse who...
Moz gets bored easily. There again, so would I if I had to sing songs from World Peace every night. Just compare his tour schedule and subsequent cancellations to Nick Cave 57, and Leonard Cohen, 80. Moz canceling a gig on a tour is no longer news. News would be a tour that was undertaken with...
Hazard. You can't really believe WP is better than Strangeways … I agree that some of the arrangements on WP are interesting, but too much of it is half baked. What really let's it down in the lyrics - they are rubbish. Sad, because Mozz has the best voice and range of his career these days...
You have nice friends. I saw Moz in LA LA before the tour cancellation fiasco. I also left early. The show was tepid at best, and agree, his current band need to go: No grace and no class. WP is not a strong record and live it is pounded to with an inch of its life by Tobias earnest ham fisting...
- Kick the bride down the aisle / Meat is murder / World peace is none of your business, woah, way to shift into down gear for 15 minutes. Bet the bar was full ...
So Canada is forever verboten because of the seal cull, but 'Gaga in Malaga' Spain is okay. What a monumental hypocrite this man has become. Sickening.
I have been reflecting on this news for the last few days. It is indeed very sad, and such a grubby end to what started with a flash of excitement and some intrigue: a cache of new songs, those novel and artistic spoken word videos - and then this. As someone who has followed Morrissey's career...
