Early solo stuff was great and a few recent albims were good. He had the trouble with the racist thing though.

Yeah true.

I really like "Irish Blood, English Heart" - it was on a FIFA PS2 game soundtrack one year - may have been 2003/4.

and "Bigmouth Strikes Again"'s a classic.

That's how people grow up is a good one. Very anti-love which I like lol

InOne 20-09-2009 08:26 PM

And when im lying in my bed, I think about life and I think about death, and neither one paticularly appeals to me.

bansheewails 20-09-2009 08:33 PM

Ah THE SMITHS, brings me back to a time where i was smoking in night clubs, snogging undesirable men and having the best time! I am probably the only one old enough in here to have seen the LIVEin the 80's! LOL.

Ramsay 20-09-2009 08:44 PM

The Smiths are indeed epic

bansheewails 20-09-2009 08:45 PM

The Kings Hall Belfast, 1984, what a night! I was only 14 and in love with Morrisey and a boy called John. Morrisey won the battle fo my heart! :hugesmile:

InOne 08-12-2009 11:24 PM

Epic and random bump for all you Smiths and Morrissey fans. :tongue:

Yeah, a very good addition to any band!!!

Stu 09-12-2009 03:10 PM

I seen These Charming Men a few months ago. Excellent tribute band. I know there is a stigma attached to tribute bands but these guys are really good and have played to like thousands.

Yeah, because they were a really, really important part of a lot of peoples lives. Just not yours. Better that than Leona Lewis.

I have seen a Morrissey tribute and thought it was pretty good.
And yeah, The Smiths are not something the indie kids have claimed, Morrissey and Marr worked great together and they appeal to everyone, their lyrics have stood the test of time.

Stu 09-12-2009 04:02 PM

I love how obsessive the fans are. It's the same with Depeche and in my opinion that sort of thing has died out today and you simply don't see it happen a whole lot with the likes of The Killers & [god forbid] Nickelback.

At the tribute gig I counted at least eight people with big quiffs and big square glasses. Some people think that's sad but personally I think it's a great thing to see. Bit of passion FFS.

InOne 09-12-2009 04:07 PM

Yeah like people dive at Morrissey on stage lol It's great. Yep you don't see as passionate fans anymore I don't think, too much dribble such as The Killers, The Kooks, Bloc Party that are all mediocre and are sort of just there.

InOne 11-12-2009 02:10 AM

Well Morrissey is a living god, we all know that.

He was always like that, even in The Smiths, really hard to work with sometimes.
