The Vegas gigs might not have resulted in a deal with a US label, but remember we still have the UK 'Bonfire showcase' shows to look forward to. There's bound to be plenty of UK record label bigwigs/A&R who've been given complimentary tickets to the London Palladium. Lets wait and see if any of those are impressed enough with what they witness to take the bait and offer Moz a deal.

That would be great, but the essential problem is that he has loudly, and acrimoniously parted company with almost every label that he has signed
with. Hasn't he even had the band wear FU shirts directed at a label? You can only piss off so many people before you become a permanent pariah.

Let's hope it helps. I guess my take is that record companies aren't looking at him as an unknown, not sure what he can do. He's not the new kid on the block. He's well known. He has a reputation. So I'm not seeing how guest appearances or things like that would do more for him than his own completed album, BOT. It's been out there for over a year and he still doesn't have a deal. I think I've asked this before... is this the first time he's recorded an album without having a deal in place?

Ok I accept your apologies We are in this place to maintain the fraternity that our idol deserves we are something like "the brotherhood of Moz" je je . Apologies accepted !!I’m a very naughty Rooster, with low energies

He should just play every song live and we can make our own live version of the album (albeit without Iggy Pop on the song he guests on). But then again we’ll probably barely be able to hear him on the album version anyway, so what difference does it make.
It makes none. And a record deal is done. And this album must be looking very old tonight.

I doubt he'll play the entire album but maybe we'll get a few more at least and have most of the album? I don't see a downside. I don't think having live versions of the songs out there will in any way negatively impact sales or streams if/when BOT is finally released.

We all know how any new Morrissey album will do, regardless of live versions. One week relatively high in the chart (should be Top 5) as the remaining fanbase buy it, then it will drop out like a stone in week 2, never to return. Record labels just have to calculate if they can make enough sales in that first week to make any money on this deal. Plus they will be fully aware of his 'awkward' reputation, the fact he may well turn on them, and his total unwillingness to do any promotion (TV/radio/press interviews, in store signings, etc). I'm a fan - and even I'm not sure I'd want the headache of working with Morrissey in a professional capacity. It's a tough ask.
I think having the songs out there definitely reduces the excitement around a new Morrissey album. The songs are soon considered old hat, because they can be streamed from YouTube in low quality versions, despite them not being officially released. I guess Morrissey has realized this himself too, because the 2011 batch of new songs didn't make it to the official 12-track World Peace.

The album is called ‘Bonfire of Teenagers’ which is just crass and ill thought. It’s purely needless and underserved provocation. Never has he had a more controversial subject matter and been so wide of the mark with his anger
The fact nobody has pulled him enough to rethink some of the lyric but to then go and name the whole album after it
The other songs could be quarry level and still ain’t nobody going to touch it and rightly so
From who put the M in Manchester to BOF is some career trajectory

LASCIATE OGNI SPERANZA!
I heard the studio version of Bonfire the song just last night in a dream, it sounded really good.
Maybe it’s only in dreams that we’ll get to hear the album. It probably sounds better there too! Lol.

It was 'For Britain' not 'Britain First' , they are, or were, totally seperate political parties.
1) Separate
2) They were both sets of far-right goons Granted - 'seperate', but both sets of far-right goons

What is far-right goons Granted? And is there any source, please...

They have different purposes though.
For Britain was supposed to pitch itself as centre right & lure in minorities who felt neglected by the centre/left esp women & gay people. And tried to subvert anti-colonial rhetoric.
Britain First was set up by an Ulster Loyalist & is openly imperialist & fascist.
