>Stephen Morris: We once ran into Morrissey at the airport in Dublin, after we’d played that gig with the Chili Peppers (in summer 2002, editor’s note). We were waiting for the flight to Manchester, and Gillian was excitedly chatting with him — she’s a big Morrissey fan, after all. Anyway, he spent the whole time whining to her that he couldn’t get a record deal, that nobody liked him, and so on.
>Peter Hook: Did she tell him that it’s because he’s an idiot? (laughs)
>Morris: Who knows… in any case, he stood there like a drowned rat. Poor Morrissey, nobody wants to give you a record deal. (laughs) So because of that story, I was more than a little surprised when Morrissey suddenly reappeared recently to reclaim his rightful place as King of the Universe.
>Hook: His album is really good, and the single is fantastic. But what he’s truly great at is the outrageous way he keeps rubbing it in the faces of the people in Manchester. Because every single person in Manchester hates Morrissey like the plague. Nobody there has a good word to say about him, because everyone has had some kind of run‑in with him at some point — and Morrissey is, well, simply quite a bastard.

It's vague enough that if one is themselves a faggot then they can happily interpret it as being about finding a zaddy.

If one is not a homosexual, then the song could just as well be about coming upon a congenial older erstwhile mentor who brings a young man some needed clarity during an emotionally turbulent and insecure circumstances.

Everyone who spent time with Morrissey says he is a lovable guy. Meanwhile everyone who knows Robert Smith says he is a narcisistic prick

Robert's bandmates love him and have kept the outfit going for 4 decades

>>129865422
smiths only have notable songs to their fans, they're not Blondie or Talking Heads or the Cars. Few songs Smiths could never touch because they're amateur writers
>Closedown
>Pictures of You
>Plainsong
>Untitled
>One Hundred Years
>Hanging Garden
>Fascination Street
>In Between Days
>Just Like Heaven
The last 2 being the better "pop" songs since Smiths didn't know how to write outside of that frame its not fair to compare songs like Plainsong to them that they could never get close to

Using Smiths songs as an argument for why Morrissey is better doesn't really work.
Same goes for the Cure but Robert Smith had more of a role with writing those songs than Morrissey and the Smiths
>>
>>129872452
Its the lyrics and singing that are the soul of the band. They would be forgettable without Morrissey but they were still be a great band without Marr
>>
>>129872499
Morrissey's solo projects without Marr's musicianship are musically tripe and rightfully nowhere near as well regarded as Johnny's Smiths contributions.

To pretend Morrissey's voice and lyrics are all there is to it is the same as claiming The Brendon Urie Experience is sufficiently Panic! At The Disco.
>>
>>129872522
Morrisey has had the longest successful solo career out of any musician ever, he literally just put out an album thats pure gold. Marr hasn't done anything since the 80s other than doing some background guitar on some forgettable tracks.
>>
>>129872537
Lol true, Morrissey's new album is great and his voice sounds better than ever. For that anon to compare him to the talentless, ugly annoying shrieking Brendon Urie is the height of stupidity

Johhny Marr is useless without Morrissey. Marr was used like a tool by Morrissey. Moz told Marr what to play and how to play it. He used Marr like a tool to sculpt beautiful music but without Morrissey Marr is just a broken useless tool

The Smiths were all Morrissey the artwork, the lyrics, the melody it was all him.
>>
>>129875946
Chile and Argentina are the Whiter parts of Latinx America so it's only natural they like Morrissey
>>
>>129881168
I mean, there's some truth to it but I don't want to diminish what Johnny does because for the very short time the Smiths were around they made magic together. Moz went on to make a lot of magic with other people and I prefer his solo work these days. That doesn't make what Moz and Marr did any less special. They were a remarkable band. The in-fighting amongst the fanbase is strange and we don't really need to. We can appreciate both of them.

Marr was better solo. Mozfags will cope

>>
>>129881107
your quote is the only true part
the rest of this soundbite sounds like extremely disingenuous and low-effort trolling
but then again, if we think back, Morrissey has always been terrible at explaining his feelings about something no matter what it is; his answers are typically shallow compared to the depth of feeling he claims to have about them

robert isn't much better though; they both are essentially evasive when it comes to answering questions, especially about things they claim to dislike

>>129881568
In my opinion, Morrissey has no musical talent, but Johnny Marr has no taste. Morrissey evidently forced Johnny Marr to bring out the best in himself capable, but Morrissey cannot produce even a tenth of the intrigue on his own nor extract the same value from other musicians.
>>
>>129881568
Marrfag coping has reached new levels
>>129881677
Last time I checked, vocals are an instrument. I know that's a mind-blowing thing for you retards to wrap your heads around but just look at Marr's atrocious attempts at singing. Not everyone can do it.

Hahaha chill moz

So The Cure has lower lows than Morrissey/Smiths, but the question is who has the higher high?

Does Morrissey have anything better than Disintegration?
>>
>>129885638
The Smiths clear. No bad albums. The Cure have maybe 3 good albums. Every Moz album clears The Cure easily
>>
>>129885638
The Cure had a more interesting development until they started making boring radio pop
>>
>>129886444
The Cure is funny because they will do interesting music then follow it up with 2-3 albums of radio pop then go back to the dark a brooding stuff. They kind of repeat that cycle a few times.
>>
>>129865269
