The Smiths & Morrissey thread

Hmm not be an arsehole but I am already, if he were a City fan would he divide opinion so much? The Gallaghers are complete bellends (I love them too) but they don't seem to divide opinion quite like Morrrisey does.

I'm sure he's on the spectrum, jaded, bored, disillusioned and basically doesn't give a shite. A definitely rare breed who's done well for himself.

I personally think he's a great trait to the Mancuinan music scene and in a century time will be considered an all time great

I don't think his football allegiance has anything to with why he is so devisive. I love New Order and the 2 main protagonists are rags.
His questionable politics are what people find divisive and rightly so.
His sexuality is no one one else's business but his own. Personally I think there is a lot of Catholic guilt attached to his sexuality and I actually feel sorry for him in that respect.
But, with his politics, he puts himself in a pedestal to be shot at, with his comments and sometimes questionable lyrics.
I don't think there is any malice in him, I just don't think he is as clever as he thinks he is.
He is the opposite end of the political spectrum to me and if I am being honest, I have found it difficult to separate the art from the artist.
 
He was in good voice last night. Setlist has too many new songs in though considering none of been released commercially and only 18 songs which is a bit short for me (1 hr 15mins)

Venue was good. Nice Art Deco style building.

I can’t agree about Liam Gallagher. I understand he’s a decent guy. Noel’s the wanker of the two but played the media well.

When I was in Longsight, one of my housemates worked in a Levenshulme pub and a regular knew them both well.

Noel likes to think of himself as some erudite wordsmith, most especially during these latter years. Oasis were fucking great and he’s written some absolute belters but he became obsessed with £££££.
His portrayal of his family home being some tough inner-city hovel is also utter drivel.
And he could write songs for the next million years and he’d never write anything (lyrically) to match:
“Gasping, dying, but somehow still alive, this is the fierce last stand of all I am.”

I am not sure about that, I know a few city fans who think Noel is a bellend and attention whore everytime we are near winning a trophy, and I know some who adore his musoc and won't have abad word said about him

Still oasis are not on the same level as the smiths, lyricaly or as musicians

Always a risk with him but like you say not too much harm done if not on. I remember him walking of stage halfway through the second song at Liverpool. Couple of girls next to me had come from Berlin to see the gig!

I got a song and a half out of him at Camden Roundhouse a few years back before he walked off.
Got a refund on the gig, but obviously not the hotel for the night.
Retired to a pub near the venue when the gig got pulled and ended up having a heated conversation with my mate about how rubbish the Red Hot Chilli Peppers are, got so distracted we missed the last train to the hotel and ended up with an expensive taxi fare!

Ouch! I was there the night before and whilst he carried on and it was a good gig, his voice was a bit croaky!

Haha, was just about to say he must have heard you were coming again. Fuck knows what you get up to at his gigs but it's obviously scared him.

I did the first two nights and had a ticket for the last night - obviously cancelled but i still had to go down to London because my team had the audition for Egg Heads the following morning.
(Apologies if anyone new to the forum is reading this but yes.... I was once on Egg Heads....)
