In a 'Morrisey mood' - Page 2

Rob Instigator · 09.15.2006, 02:46 PM

I love Morrissey's solo stuff equally with the smiths. I see it as a continuum. While I love the smiths I really have never seen anything all that outstanding about Johnny marr's playing or his arrangents. They are wonderful but not something that matches musically what Morrissey brings lyrically. without the Moz and his vocal stylings and his lyrics, the smiths would have been just another jangle pop rock band out of manchester.

people do not understand sometimes that on the surface morrissey's lyrics are selfpity but below that he is actually denigrating the very people who feel that self pity, including himself and US. I love that.

Give the kid some damn pills.

Surprised as you two would percieve Morrisey as being sad.He never struck as being a 'sad' person as such but more an outsider with considerable problems that turned into gold.The Smiths?I was never saddened by them but more,like,uplifted wich would be more appropiate.

ha ha!! your so funny Porkie..

The Smiths make my day. to me The Smiths are "walking to work on tuesday morning at half eight" music (monday is actually my day off)
no i was just foolin around with the public perception of Moz, quiff in one hand... suicide note it the other...
My friends think i'm a nutter for loving The Smiths/Morrissey, but they have been thinkin it for a long time now.

I like Johnny Mar's guitar playing, but I've never been much of a Smiths or Morrissey fan

I would think you would find some solidarity with a fellow celibate.

There's always been a problem (in the British press at least) with bands that have black humour in them. The Smiths are a case in point. Very funny, lots of self-deprecating humour, but it doesn't add up to miserable. I can't believe it took me until last year to realise that Bauhaus aren't a terrible goth band, and in fact goth isn't necessarily a bad thing (it's the fans that are the problem...). Humour in music, for the press, seems to be about "HEY HEY!!!! WACKY WACKY WACKY!!!!!" rather than actually being funny. Actual comedy music is very difficult. I have a new thread brewing...

Alien Sex Fiend are the ultimate hilarious goth band solely because you can tell they are poking fun out of love for the trappings of their interests.
