Morrissey

Post by Homer »

He's done it again, kept quiet for a few years, recorded an album getting pre-orders, arrived in the UK for a week doing the Jools show, Graham Norton tonight, BBC 6 Live etc etc. And today announces a UK tour thats got people in a buying frenzy which will probably sell-out in minutes.

Thats what The Stranglers should have done, instead of 50% of the line-up doing the same tour & songs year in and year out.

Maybe he should take over Sil's job :lol: :lol:

Difference is, I'd happily go to numerous gigs on the 50% Strangler tip tour (each and every year) and feel pissed off if I didn't see them a couple of times during the year, whereas I probably (if pushed) take in one Morrissey gig every five years and not worry if I missed one.

It's all a matter of taste.

Anyway, he ain't half as good as he was when fronting The Smiths 8) (or The Nosebleeds LOL)

That's very frustrating for him and his fans not being able to release that album. That does not seem fair at all.

Don't worry too much, if it's that upsetting, unfair and frustrating for him he will probably get yet another album of songs out of it.

Record company ‘owns it’ …. And they refuse to release it ‘ever’ …. But we’ll see.

He still plays odd tracks Live though.

Hasn't he recorded two albums though? I thought the record company just owned the first one? Ridiculous situation for him and his fans isn't it.

He owns the rights to it now but says no record company in the UK will release it.
Why doesn't he just form his own record company ?
