You sure ?
I heard he did the demos with Ian ?
This song and lp was meant to be ian and johnny ?
Maybe I'm wrong though
It's necessary because he wants to do it. Yes, write songs for Morrissey... and maybe we'll get to hear them in 5 years. I'm glad Alain is back with Morrissey... but I'm also glad he still doing his own thing and releasing music.
I'm not sure now -without wishing to get the f***ing violin strings out . The first wife was in hospital when the press about johnny and Ian was out.Ian doesn't mention it on the video, he says the songs were for the Electrafixion album but another poster thinks, another poster said Nothing Lasts Forever was one of the songs Johnny wrote with Ian though?

So it's kinda mushy peas in the brain .
But I just remembered Ian being interviewed and alluding to the event or johnny canny fecking remember now
Something about them two recording and something about "demos going missing "
No it wasnt that . I think he would be happy not to get credited for that .lolNo time to read this thread (and this may be common knowledge) but ...
- I think Alain has actually co-written quite a few of McCulloch's solo songs (some of which were offered to Morrissey first)
- Johnny Marr co-wrote the Echo Bunnymen/Spice Girls world cup collaboration (which admittedly was a bit rubbish) but I seem to remember him complaining that he hadn't been credited?
Hey did you know Alain and Ian wrote ?Yes he talks about that in the video above

I know what you mean .Frankly, I would be rather disappointed if Alain's renewed partnership with M upended the apple cart for any future recordings with Cobrin, Day and Gannon. I really would like to hear some full band recordings with them all working (in part or in whole) in the same room.
It's kinda crazy As Ian is savage about M any chance he gets . So it's cool that M let's it fly and still works with AlainNo not until just now!!
2nd Street tunnel. Embarrassed to admit that for the life of me, I couldn't recall if it was 2nd or 3rd. Tis 2nd, though @ HillI think a friend of mine has pics of that tunnel, down town LA?

I tell ya what . M gets a lot of shit for being a c*** .
But he is good to his friends and fam
I mean we know Sam is shite . He keeps him around . He helps his cousins out , who ain't that bright .
He is friends with Linder even refusing to be in 24 hr party people as they made her out to be a bit of Manchester bike .
He helps James , even though he rarely spends time with him and who, let's be honest , is a bit of a loser and , from what I hear speaks smack about him, while playing the M is my besty card at any and every opportunity. It's cause of M that Raymond got signed . It's cause of M his autobiography sells. M even covered the Raymond song to help James out .
I actually think M is very misunderstood and loyal .
That's from what I have seen and heard .
He'll be pleased to hear that. As previously noted, it's a song tailored for his vocals and he nails it. Even made some very, very minor,( but noticeable) changes to the song that in my opinion actually improve on the original. Clearly I can't escape total bias, but I feel AW's version is every bit as good as the original and am convinced most will appreciate the effort. They may not prefer it, but will respect it. We'll know soon enough!I heard AWs version
It's really quite good . Is he gonna do his own mini tour ?
I guess not if he's in France with M
Fear not. It will happen in timeFrankly, I would be rather disappointed if Alain's renewed partnership with M upended the apple cart for any future recordings with Cobrin, Day and Gannon.

This isn't technically, correct. It probably springs from the fact that AW wrote music he felt Ian would be able to write/sing to, but nothing came of it. I inquired just to be sure and it was confirmed that he hasn't written with Mac, credited or uncredited. It would be interesting, though.Hey did you know Alain and Ian wrote ?
Apols - I did say I *thought* Alain had written with Ian McC.This isn't technically, correct.

Here's the quote from Alain's YouTube channel:
"A Higher Power was originally offered up to both Morrissey and Ian McCulloch. As fortune would have it, they chose not to write to it and it gained new life and became this track".
I can't figure out how to buy it on my laptop.Just downloaded it: great cover and executed with obvious love for the original.
