fluffhead77 Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 by the smiths...I recently re-bought this album and am reminded just why this band was such a force...Johnny Marr is a guitar god. Morrisseys wit and dripping sarcasm just kill me...most people I know either love or hate this band (mostly due to morrissey's vocal stylings)...what's your take?

balogna pogna Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 Personally I hate Morrissey. All he does is whine and bitch about how sad and lonely he is, and he just sits on my couch all day, and eats my food. Would it kill him to tidy up a little or maybe do some dishes or buy his own weed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_rawk Posted March 24, 2005 Report Share Posted March 24, 2005 MW, I bet your neighbours are still loving The Smiths after those two coked up lunatics insisted on throwing a "Smiths Dance Party" (!) in your driveway at like 3:00am last summer. You've got fu©ked up friends dude. :: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bONES Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 ...most people I know either love or hate this band (mostly due to morrissey's vocal stylings)...what's your take? i used to LOVE The Smiths and that album in particular. I saw them in 1984 (i think..could have been 85 at Canada's Wonderland) and felt like the coolest kid from Coby fer sure :: Johnny Marr is awesome!

paisley Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 The Smiths rock great songs (no matter how much your life sucks, Morrisey's sucks worse... can give you a nice lift sometimes when you need it) love the groundbreaking guitar work and arrangements as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hamilton Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 The Smiths? Awesome. The Queen is Dead is clearly one of their best albums. Johnny Marr is a totally under-rated guitarist, too. Morrissey just put out a new live album - I'd love to hear what this sounds like!! 1. How Soon Is Now 2. First Of The Gang To Die 3. November Spawned A Monster 4. Don't Make Fun Of Daddy's Voice 5. Big Mouth Strikes Again 6. I Like You 7. Redondo Beach 8. Let Me Kiss You 9. Munich Air Disaster 1958 10. There Is A Light That Never Goes Out 11. The More You Ignore Me 12. Friday Mourning 13. I Have Forgiven Jesus 14. The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores 15. Shoplifters Of The World Unite 16. Irish Blood, English Heart 17. You Know I Couldn't Last 18. Last Night I Dreamt That Somebody Loved Me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MamaPink Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 I should pull out some of my old Smiths records - haven't listened to them in ages. I especially like how they sing sad songs in such a nice happy tune. Oscillate Wildly is fun to play on the piano. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamilton Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 "Oscillate Wildly" is a great instrumental - I always wondered if it was named such because the words resemble Oscar Wilde so closely... what with Wilde being Morrissey's main influence and all.

Would it kill him to tidy up a little or maybe do some dishes or buy his own weed! That's some funny sh!t. I've hated that guy since he moved in. Him and Elton John living in Scotty's crawl space.

Ms.Huxtable Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Oh man I was such a huge Morrissey fan in high school. LOVED him!!!At that time of my life I listened to a lot of The Beautiful South as well. Anyone familiar with them? I wish I kept the CDs I had, I'd throw one one right now.

fluffhead77 Posted March 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 I'd love to hear the live morrissey, although something tells me it might be just average... Now live Smiths, that's some good sh!t...the album Rank is wicked....now if only morrissey and Marr would agree to reconcile their differences for 6 months...long enough for them to tour to Canada, I'd be one happy person. As far as the Oscar Wilde bussiness...he's a huge fan, citing him in several interviews as somewhat of his muse, as well as in a song lyric or two.... " A dreaded sunny day so I meet you at the cemetery gates Keats and Yeats are on your side while Wilde is on mine..." From Cemetary Gates His lyrics are so darkly funny, it's just a wonder more people don't appriciate them... "I crashed down on the crossbar and the pain was enough to make a shy, bald buddhist reflect and plan a mass-murder" From Stop Me If You Think You've Heard This One Before...

zimmerman pt3 Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Smiths+Morrissey rule even to this day! the new live album should be good for what it's worth. I saw him twice in the last year (one in Vegas the other in London/UK) and although Moz ain't in top 100% form as he used to be, his band is top notch!

can-o-phish Posted March 29, 2005 Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 Yes, no question, The Smiths were a great group.Johnny Marr is still out there and a few years back he, Eddie Vedder (vocals) Pearl Jam, Ed OBrien (guitar,vocals) Radiohead, Phil Selway (drums) Radiohead,Lisa Germano (vocals, piano, violin), all got together with Neil Finn of Split Enz and Crowded House for a week of shows in Auckland, NZ. The DVD is a nice watch and interesting combination of musicians. Finn sings "There Is A Light" from "The Queen Is Dead" and if your eyes are closed, you'd swear it's Morrissey.Cheers,Can'o'Phish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffhead77 Posted March 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2005 there was a killer album I picked up a few years back in London called the Smiths Is Dead...10 bands covering the Queen is Dead...bands like Supergrass, The Boo Radleys, Bis, The High Llamas, Billy Bragg...the whole thing was awesome...

zimmerman pt3 Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 Supergrass' version of "Some Girls Bigger..." definatley kicks ass! as for his current lineup, he has the same bass player and guitarist (Boz) for years; all the other new guys are solid (he even has a keyboardist/misc player that adds a little touch to certain songs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
can-o-phish Posted March 30, 2005 Report Share Posted March 30, 2005 vedder, marr, selway. finn...wha! where can i get this? i need to see this... The DVD is called "Seven Worlds Collide" and can be found under Neil Finn. There is also a compilation CD of the concert with selected tunes. The DVD is a "live show" put together from the shows put on over the week at the St. James Theatre which is an awesome venue. Great interviews with all of the performers. Makes you want to move, or at the very least, visit NZ. Cheers, Can'o'Phish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zimmerman pt3 Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 yesterday I downloaded the new live Moz album; very tight and top notch! The new songs are performed extremely well and the Smith tunes sound fresh and as good as you're gonna get minus Marr! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffhead77 Posted March 31, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 Zimm: did you grab it from a P2P site, or was it a torrent? if it was a torent, I'd be interested to know...if not I can't I'm afraid...my roomate is worried about viruses from limewire or soulseek...i keep tellin' him he's got a Mac and shouldn't worry, but he's picky about things like that...
