    Another manager discussion

    I don't know much about Donnie but what I do know is that he is from Austin, Texas. IIRC, Jesse was also based in the Austin music scene back in the '90s. So, I wouldn't be surprised if they knew each other long before Morrissey -- and if so, that's likely how Donnie got the job.

    Would Vauxhall have sounded a lot different with Gary and Spencer?

    Straight off the heels of the Your Arsenal tour, Morrissey decided to reshuffle his rhythm section for the recording of Vauxhall & I. Gary and Spencer were ousted for Jonny Bridgwood and Woodie Taylor, respectively. Do you think the album would have sounded quite different if Morrissey retained...

    The story behind the live version of "Used to be a Sweet Boy"?

    "Used to be a Sweet Boy" is one of my favorite songs from the Vauxhall era and has been overlooked at least from a live setting. They played it on a few dates during the '95 Boxers tour and then it was dropped and hasn't been played live since. Does anyone know the reason behind it? I think I...

    Question about the players on the I Have Forgiven Jesus b-sides

    I know the Let Me Kiss You b-sides (Daddy's Voice, Friday Mourning, and I Am Two People) were recorded in July 2004 with Jesse and Mikey Farrell. The CD#1 single of I Have Forgiven Jesus states that Jesse played guitar on its b-side (No One Can Hold a Candle to You). For some reason, my CD#2...

    Any chance Rusholme Ruffians gets played on this tour?

    Seeing that Girl Afraid just popped into the live setlist for the first time in his solo career, do you think there is any chance Rusholme Ruffians will makes its live debut on this tour as well? I'm quite surprised as to why he has neglected playing this one over the years. Surely Boz and the...

    Did Alain Whyte play on Ringleader of the Tormentors?

    Given the recent news of the finished L.A. session without Boz and Gustavo, it got me thinking about the various studio lineups Morrissey has had over the years. One which I find peculiar is Ringleader of the Tormentors era which obviously credits Alain Whyte as being one of the three...

    Which Morrissey album contained his weakest b-sides?

    We all know Morrissey's b-sides are typically held in high regard, but which album contained the weakest b-side material? I rank the Maladjusted and Quarry eras as containing the best b-sides top to bottom. However, I'd say that Kill Uncle/Your Arsenal were the most disappointing. As great of...

    What are some of your favorite live versions of Smiths songs performed by Morrissey's band

    Other than the additional benefit of having an additional guitar and keyboards, how do you feel the Lads perform on Smiths material over the years? Are there any particular covers done from 1995 until now which you feel hold up equally well to those original Marr recordings, or perhaps a...

    Was "Action", "Kids a Looker", and "People..." recorded during the 2014 World Peace sessions?

    Does anyone know if Action Is My Middle Name, The Kid's a Looker, and People Are The Same Everywhere were recorded during the 2014 World Peace sessions? Perhaps any attempts (possibly) and maybe Morrissey deemed them unworthy and eventually discarded them? Scandinavia and Art Hounds were also...

    Should Billy Budd have been a single?

    After giving Vauxhall a spin last night, I became curious as to why Moz/Lads didn't opt for Billy Budd as the second single. I like Hold on to Your Friends very much, but I can't help but think BB would have made a superior single choice that year. Is there any other tune on Vauxhall you would...

    It's Hard to Walk Tall

    Definitely should have been on Quarry. Would have made a great album opener. Any guess as to why he hasn't played this one live? It's one of those songs from the Quarry era that I find myself going to time and time again.

    Why did Moz neglect so many Smiths songs in his live set until the 2000s?

    Maybe a psychological question here but why do you think it took Moz so long to re-embrace the Smiths stuff live? He did play Shoplifters and London with the Lads back in 95 and I believe they were staples in the live set until the Oye Esteban tour, which is when he really began showcasing more...

    The Public Image

    I've popped in my I Have Forgiven Jesus CD single and have revisited its two b-sides. Slum Mums is OK, but the Public Image is absolutely beautiful. I completely forgot about this little, overlooked gem from the Quarry era. Although, the liner notes aren't very clear regarding the b-sides...

    Interesting Drug

    Anyone have the chords to Interesting Drug, specifically the way Craig Gannon originally played the song? There is live footage from Wolverhampton. Thanks in advance!

    How did Alain become Moz's chief songwriter during The Lad years?

    Hope some of you guys who really know your stuff about the Lads can contribute some good things! And if you don't have an answer, that's fine too. I was just curious as to the songwriting process in the early days when the Lads first appeared on the scene. Pashernate Love and We Hate It When...

    Should Moz reissue My Early Burglary Years?

    I was recently going through my collection of reissues and thought, Damn, it has been almost a year since we last received anything of Moz's reissuing campaign. Do you think we will receive a reissued My Early Burglary Years at some point? Now, he has already reissued a compilation album...

    Is Solomon coming back?

    I don't know the circumstances as to why he left the recent tour, but I really hope he comes back on the U.S. tour.

    Re: Morrissey interview in B92 (Serbian); recording new album in Feb. mentioned Great news! Makes me wonder if Solomon will partake in the recordings or if he is really gone for good? :(

    Alain guitar on Headmaster Ritual (2004)

    Does anyone know what guitar Alain used for the Headmaster Ritual on the Who Put the M in Manchester DVD? I don't think he's used this one in any other live Moz gigs, maybe he did and I just never saw it? Simply curious... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qScWRfFStiU

    Do you like the louder, more rock direction Morrissey has taken the past few years?

    After watching the Conan performance, I've come to realize that I don't mind the heavier, rockier-edge Morrissey's music has taken the past few years, especially with albums like Ringleader and Refusal. I love the slower numbers as well, but I can only take the slow tunes of Maladjusted and...
