The Smiths & Morrissey thread

The Smiths are the finest band out of Manchester and he was a key part of that.

Lol. Are you after brownie points from MES?

Trying to win favours from the Bluemoon leadership is far too late for me.

Love him, took his book with me last year to the canaries, had me in tears half the time, great man and a lovely soul.

I always found the media portrayal of him rather strange. He was vilified after he left the Smiths, by the music weeklies. They were definitely all pro Morrissey.

His musical output is magnificent. Regardless of his Smiths output, which will be his legacy. He did fantastic stuff with Billy Bragg, The Pretenders and Kirsty McColl. Thats without even considering Electronic.

In regards to his status of Manchester most important musician, imo he is 2nd to Bernard Sumner. Think Joy Division, New Order, Electronic and then all his production work, trumps Johnny. Bernard Sumners work is truly original and changed pop music in this country . Johnny is a traditional pop artist who writes great pop songs.

The "all are welcome" bit is a little crazy. Every Moz loon in the land will head over there and turn it into a circus - and also the social distancing aspect if it too.

Hope not as it will likely be in my local church!

God given talent.

Had a chat with him Celebrating outside Maine Road on the evening after the Blackburn promotion win. Definitely the sensible one in the Smiths partnership. Morrissey is now outed as a complete loon and his solo songs are rubbish.

Read his autobiography when it came out a couple of years ago - Set The Boy Free. Worth a read if ur a fan - I enjoyed it anyway.
Top man. Love his music.

Also read and enjoyed Johnny's book. Seen him live a few times and always put on a good show, has a decent voice to go with his undoubted talents on guitar. A really cool guy, great musician and a blue, whats not to like about him.
