Morrissey statement 2 June 2012; Matt Walker exits band

Re: Morrissey statement 2 June 2012

No more Matt Walker. Looks like this is Joyce's big chance.

Echo & the Quarrymen?

New line up hopes
Boz or new guitarist - keep it to 1
New bassist
Drum machine!!

Keep the line up small and alternative!

Echo & the Quarrymen?

I just want to see something different. A smaller line up with new writing minds.

 

[Oh my god. it's Robby!]

a smaller line-up is a good idea
but a real live drummer for shows is, sort of, essential for Moz's sound I think

Did anybody else see this thing on Morrissey's world about letting the drummer leave? Spooky. http://morrisseysworld.blogspot.co.uk/2012/02/christmas-diaries-draft.html

That's good news! Morrissey should now exercise his manhood, throw caution to the wind and sack the rest of lads, with the exception of Boz. The first line up I ever saw Morrissey in consisted of Alain, Boz, Gary and Spencer. I still think this was his best solo band. Is it an impossible dream to bring this classic line-up back?

so..has any word been said about a new drummer? Tour starts next week.

HAH.

Yes.

Have been out of the loop for a bit -- still no drummer announced?? I guess we'll find out when he (or hey, maybe even she?) steps out onto the stage.

I wonder if the new boy will be a permanent adoptee or just a one-tour hired hand ?

Someone on Facebook this morning asked Boz who the drummer is and his response was wait and see. Then that wanker Chris from Chicago chimed in with Spencer Cobrin.

What is Meg White doing these days anyway?

What a retard.
Chris "MuteWitness616," not Spencer.

Noticed Primal Scream has M.B. Valentine's Debbie Googe on bass this weekend (and permanently?) at Heaton Park.

I think it'd be silly for Morrissey to hire a female band member just because they were female (I can already imagine witty retorts about Jesse) but if they can do the job well, why not?

About the "wanker" who said Spencer on FB, I'm sure he must be a wanker for many other reasons but what's wrong with wanting Spencer back?
I'd feel a hell of a lot better about the songwriting partnership, that's for sure. He didn't write a lot of songs for Morrissey, but never wrote a bad one.
Don't think Solomon's and Spencer's styles would gel very well, but who knows?

Oh MuteWitness616, do you think because Boz and Kristeen take the time to reply to a comment or message you've sent them, that makes you important and their friend?

HAH.



Yes.

Well, I'm sure you're right. But, c'mon! How old is Morrissey now? You would think such an enlightened being could put petty differences aside. Surely he must recognize that the best solo albums, with the exception of Viva Hate, were the ones Alain and Boz co-wrote on. I know this is all subjective but, I've seen Morrissey live many, many times and for me the best shows were the ones with the aforementioned band. I saw Spencer Cobrin sit in with Sons & Heirs, The Smiths & Moz tribute band and the man still has it. I approached him after the show and he was very humble and personable. I can't imagine what Alain, Spencer, Gary, etc. did to be excommunicated but it all seems very juvenile. I mean, this is Morrissey we're talking about, not Van Halen!

Has it ever occurred to anyone that people might not leave Morrissey's band through suspicious motives?

They might have left because they'd like to have more than 'Morrissey backing musician' on their cv. Gary Day's missus had a baby, Matt Walker has joined Paramore, Alain Whyte has worked with people like Black Eyed Peas. It's not unrealistic to assume that musicians might want more out of life than playing First Of The Gang To Die over & over & over again.
