He does I guess that's why he creates the shock jock headlines, he's like most rock/pop stars it's all about the money.

Probably all raging capitalist, everyone forgot where Spillers until this incident .
Bet they still ""Schools Out "" by Alice Cooper , which is a dreadful message for young people .
And ""To Drunk To ****"" by the Dead Kennedys, not a great advert for young married couples.

I wonder if they sell "The Sound Of Music" or "Oliver" soundtracks. Probably not.

I'd rather the " sound of silence" than lard like Morrissey latest stuff .
I have to confess to listening to Alsation Cousin, dog of a track .
God I'm miserable now.

Re: Morrissey's New Album
who in the holly feck gives a shite about this mans album. i'm old enough to remember the release of "never mind the bollox", but cant think why anyone would care about this flowery shite

Re: Morrissey's New Album
Good album. Great covers. Very different to his other work, people let their own political views cloud their judgement. After all these years he's still getting spoken about as much as he was in the 80's, and selling albums just as much. Great achievement and one of the best musicians (& especially lyricists) to come from this island.
Wedding Bell Blues is an absolute tune on California Son

So what? If you don't like him or his music that's your prerogative. You started this thread to have another argument like the previous thread until it gets locked. Give it a rest maybe.

Morrissey is one of my favourite musical artists, but this particar album is not for me. I find the arrangements, and the choice of instruments a bit too drab for my tastes.
My comment was aimed more towards ToTaL ITK who was almost certain that nobody would give a flying feck about this 60 year old tossers album :biggrin:

Bollocks.

Re: Morrissey's New Album
The only reason he’s in the mainstream media so much at the moment is he wore the badge of a facist party on US tv.

Baker's claim was that Morrissey is selling as many albums now as he was in the Eighties. That's bollocks. In the Eighties, all eight Smiths albums were Gold certified in the UK, as was his only solo album during that decade. The old man hasn't had a Gold-selling album in the UK since since 2006, 13 years ago. His sales in the US tell a similar story. Indeed, he hasn't had a Gold-seller there since 1988. He had four US Gold-sellers in the Eighties (three with the Smiths, one solo).
As regards chart positions, I'm sure you're aware that albums don't have to sell a fraction of what they did in the Eighties to gain a decent chart rating.

He's also getting millions of views on youtube, spotify etc.
It's not all about album sales in this day and age

Perhaps he is.
You're still talking bollocks, though.

I'm not wrong.
You were wrong when you claimed Morrissey is selling as many albums now as he was in the Eighties. Hopelessly wrong, as the facts clearly demonstrate.
I love the fact that you feel able to talk about the Eighties with such confidence. That's greatly amusing to me under the circumstances.

I think I've read enough books, watched enough documentaries to understand how big he and the smiths were during the times I was unfortunate enough to miss out on.
Your logic means that historians shouldn't exist? Only people who lived in the times of world war 1 can talk about world war 1?
You're correct in pointing out I was wrong about album sales, but as I pointed out an artist's popularity is much more based on downloads and hits these days.

I somehow doubt it considering Cleese hasn't been supporting any racists or fascists lately, unlike your idol.

He really needs to shut his mouth, doesn't he? He hasn't even addressed why he was wearing the badge and his reply is almost teenage like, acting like he's some kind of victim 'You can't say nothing these days' he's so deluded it's painful. Thing is, because it's him there are people who think he has some kind of sixth sense, when the reality is that he's a boring old fart who has made a career out of distancing himself from reality. Some of his songs are very good, but he really shows how basic and selfish he really is when he does interviews
