Morrissey

[Stradling]

I'm the same way with Barry Manilow and Tone Loc.

"you got plans for tonight, hopefully if things go well I'll be with you tonight"

The Tone Loc school of rhyme

[Stradling]

thanks. in my mind, they're the same guy for some reason.

I am guessing they couldn't be more different. I am not nate or Brandon when it comes to music, but I think Rollins was in Black Flag which was punk, Morrisey was in the Smiths which would be not punk.

He must have been a mentor to the Beastie Boys:

 

"Everybody's rapping like it's a commercial, actin' like life is a big commercial."

[nate]

Yeah... Rollins and Morrissey couldn't be more different.

[Chuck]

He's headlining Sunday night at FYF Fest this year.

 

<------ Huge Smiths fan.

 

Same here!

[Chuck]

i had no idea chuck was latina

 

LOL. I've heard this before, but I don't get it. I don't know one single Mexican Smiths fan. 

[Chuck]

He's basically a crooner up there - you won't see a lot of action and while he does at times go into some pseudo dance type motions, he mostly will walk around and at times play up to his audience.  What he does do a really good job of involving the band behind him, something he didn't used to do..   

If you like Morrissey, you'll love his shows... because he sounds exactly the same.   But, nothing like the old Smith's shows.  That's the one band I wish would patch crap up and do a reunion tour ala Bauhaus.

 

 

 

Morrissey/Marr was perfect...     

 

Yeah, I've seen Peter Murphy live, but he got weird (after he became a vampire/muslim).  lol

 

Loved Bauhaus and the the Smiths growing up. 

 

I think I'll pass. A single ticket is $300

[Chuck]

Speaking of Johnny Marr, to this day, one of my favorite albums that I can listen to from start to finish is the first 'Electronic' album featuring Benard from New Order, Marr from the Smiths and Neil Tennant from the Pet Shop Boys.

I'm watching the Miami Vice episode titled "Free Verse."  Suicidal Tendencies has a cameo playing live in a club.  They're playing 
"institutionalized."

On my phone so I can't post, but the Body Count cover of "Institutionalized" is solid.

On the tour for Electronic's first album, I saw Electronic open for Depeche Mode. It was awesome.

Was never aware of this supergroup. Three favorites though. I'm going to check it out.

Electronic's first album is really good. Never listened to the second one because it didn't come out until five years later. By that time, Backstreet Boys had already released their debut album and I didn't want to listen to anything else.

Yeah dude, a must purchase. You won't be disappointed. Good from start to finish.

Thanks buddy. Can't wait.

His lyrics an be somewhat suicide-inducing, as well. Although, I suppose, for some people, that's the charm.

Yes, but "There is a Light That Never Goes Out" is one of their few upbeat songs.  As with most music, I generally don't get caught-up in the lyrics specifically because a lot of the time certain words are used to fill the tempo instead of what should have been there.  Except for country music; that shit's saying exactly what it's about! 

 

I was a huge Smiths fan growing-up, but have never gotten the chance to see them or Morissey.  I've come to terms with it tho, and realize that it keeps the mystery intact.

 

PS- One of the best covers of "How Soon is Now" is from Quicksand!  There's a live version on Youtube that's pretty amazing.
