hickey Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 I can't stand him. I can't stand the Smiths. And I can't stand his stupid hair. Everything the guy does makes me cringe. Yet people love him. And if I didn't already hate him enough, his arrogance shines through once again: http://www.punknews.org/article/25219 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Eh...I am a passive Smiths listener...never much cared for "The Moz"...but it is fun to make fun of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robotnerd Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 i doubt it's a situation of "i want more than that!" i think it's a situation of "when are people gonna get the point that we don't want to play together anymore?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hickey Posted August 24, 2007 Author Share Posted August 24, 2007 "Twat" I think that's a perfect way to describe him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 If he would have accepted it everyone would have called him out on being a greedy bastard for playing for $75 million. I don't care for the Smiths or Morrissey, but the guy just doesn't want to play with that band anymore. Thats his prerogative. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggiesized Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 I would go see the reunion if all members were present. Other than that no dice. He puts on a great show by the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacobe Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 It's funny to me that in this time period, where every "artist" is selling themselves to car companys, fast food and every other big buisness, that he's not applauded for not taking the money. I'll admit I'm a huge fan of most of the mans catalog, but that has nothing to do with my opinion on this. I think it's cool he turned down the money. The Smiths are over, seems like him and Marr are the only ones that are ok with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skumbucket Posted August 24, 2007 Share Posted August 24, 2007 oh yeah, don't get me wrong -- i love the fact that he's turning down the money, that he still puts out records on an independent label, and generally does things that aren't industry-kosher...but that doesn't mean he's not a twat as a human... i mean, the man refused to tour all of canada because a few hundred fisherman in one or two territories kill seals...that's pretty dickish...

skumbucket Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 no, it's true. it was last year. http://www.cbc.ca/arts/story/2006/03/28/morrissey-snub-sealhunt.html his statement: http://true-to-you.net/morrissey_news_060327_02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robotnerd Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 well, i stand corrected. i still don't see that as being a dick though, he's using his celebrity to try and bring about change, that's a bad thing to do? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skumbucket Posted August 25, 2007 Share Posted August 25, 2007 not bad, necessarily. but i'm guessing that the vast marjority of morrissey fans support that stance, even in canada. he's letting down his fans and they're still hunting.
