Members Reaganomics! Posted April 26, 2012 Members Share Posted April 26, 2012 even if this happens Morrissey will find a reason to get his ego hurt 3 shows into the tour and it'll all fall apart again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil O'Keefe Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 I'd definitely love to see one happen, but I don't think Johnny has any desire to have to deal with Morrissey's whining anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members guitardustin Posted April 26, 2012 Members Share Posted April 26, 2012 So what's the point of having a cool signature jag if he's just a bedroom warrior now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members outtahear Posted April 26, 2012 Members Share Posted April 26, 2012 So what's the point of having a cool signature jag if he's just a bedroom warrior now? Because he's still Johnny {censored}ing Marr.(and, it's what a Jag always should have been.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Kidbs Posted April 26, 2012 Members Share Posted April 26, 2012 So what's the point of having a cool signature jag if he's just a bedroom warrior now? He's hardly a bedroom warrior. He's played in quite a few bands since The Smiths. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members HeartfeltDawn Posted April 26, 2012 Members Share Posted April 26, 2012 I'd definitely love to see one happen, but I don't think Johnny has any desire to have to deal with Morrissey's whining anymore. Why would you want to see it? Morrissey's lost so much of the voice he had with the Smiths. The covers he's done with his band over the last few years have routinely awful. Undoubtedly a lot of the romance behind the Smiths is because they released so much in such a short space of time. Reforming would be {censored}ting all over that legacy and I'd hope that both Morrissey and Marr will never do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the Smiths but Morrissey's solo stuff has been mostly great ever since (yeah, a few bum albums in there, but also some truly great ones.) I think he's singing better now than when they started - fuller, less affected than the early stuff. I've seen him live a few times over the last 20 (gasp!) years, and he seems to be aging very gracefully. Not many rock vocalists can claim the same - seen any of DLR's recent VH reunion clips on youtube? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ItchyFingers Posted April 26, 2012 Members Share Posted April 26, 2012 I don't think a reunion will ever happen. There was an opportunity for one at Coachella a few years back when Modest Mouse and Moz both perfrormed on the same day - it didn't happen then, and probably won't at any other point in time. I for one am just stoked Moz has been playing Smiths tunes again. Saw him in November when they opened with I Want the One I can't Have, and also busted out Still Ill & Meat is Murder. I'll admit his voice has changed, but yours will too after 30 years! The most remarkable thing about the Smiths (imho) is that they released all that great material in such a short amount of time, when they were pretty much teenagers.
