morrissey concert

[n1 gull]

Saw him last night in the Lowry Theatre, Salford, superb gig.
If you're lucky enough to have a ticket for the tour, you're in for a treat.

He also did Girlfriend in a coma and How soon is now from the Smiths.

Cracking night.

smiths are number one but morrissey is a knob head (i have had this argument already today with a friend so not prepared to continue it). what's the lowry theatre like though? better than men arena? never been to either but heard men is far too impersoanl but what can you do when mozza can fill out either of them very easilly, especially in manchester!

Ok so you like the Smiths but hate Morrissey? Slightly contradicting yourself there me thinks!

what are you talking about? his earlier stuff is far better than solo and a lot different. obviously not to the untrained ear.

 

[Benny Seagull]

you know you make spelling morrissey a lot more obvious when you edit it like that....

anyway, you have no idea so be quiet.

You just called Morrissey a knobhead, yet you think the Smith's are 'number 1'. Now seeming as though Morrissey made up half of The Smiths, you are contradicting yourself. He wrote and sang the Smiths songs himself, so you are the one talking bollocks.

if you can't tell the difference between the smiths's music and morrissey's your just not clever enough. there is nothing contractictory in the statements: smiths are quality; morrissey is average; morrissey is a prick.

I've just secured a ticket for Alexandra Palace on May 1st

that must've been a good way to cheer yourself up post-relegation

That's not my point though. I'm not disputing the fact that there's quite a difference between The Smiths and Morrissey as a solo artist in terms of the music but quite how someone can think the Smiths are brilliant but then say they hate Morrissey is totally beyond me.

 

[El Presidente]

I had two tickets to see Mozza at Bridgewater Hall but GUTTED to find myself working in Russia that day.

Mozza has suffered diminishing returns as a solo artist, the last two albums are reasonable, but not a patch on The Queen is Dead or Strangeways.

My daughter goes to the same school at the kids of Johnny Marr and Billy Duffy, so I STALK them at parents evening and sports day.

still not sure what you are confused about. i think morrissey as a person is a tosser. stop. in terms of music, i think morrissey's solo stuff is not great. stop. however, i do think that the smiths are very very good. stop. now what can be confusing and contradictory about that?

 

[Tesco in Disguise]

...these go to eleven.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

You got out of Salford alive then.

Totally agree - I can barely stand to watch him now, he is a dreadful caricature of himself - and I'm absolutely terrified that too much exposure to him might ruin some fantastic memories of the greatest band in the universe ever of all-time, I speak as a veteran of the Dome gig of 1985!
