How much would you pay to see the Smiths again?

[Tank Girl]

I missed them too, but I did have a ticket for the queen is dead tour - but my dad grounded me for not walking the dog

I've never forgiven him.

 

[Hollis]

..the past aint sacred no more.

 

[Looby]

I put sell my house/anything. I can say this for 2 reasons- I have nothing of value and it will never happen.

But... if it did I would do my bestest to get tickets.

 

[Hollis]

Let's face it.;. its like the Heritage Industry in music form.. another 10 years and they could be at Butlins.

Actually give me a Smiths tribute band anyday.. be less contrived than seeing the Smiths 20 years later..

..iyswim.

I saw the reformed Dinosaur Jr a couple of months ago. But they'd just released a new album that was as good as the three classic albums, and better than the ones without Lou Barlow. So I guessed they'd be good, and they were.

 

[JTG]

A Dashing Blade, baffled, Barking_Mad, BLOCwknd, ChrisFilter, copliker, Dask, electroplated, gabi, JTG, jusali, kyser_soze, maomao, May Kasahara, Monkeygrinder's Organ, moomoo, skyscraper101, Structaural, treefrog, twisted, Unix Tottie, wiskey

all made of sane

 

[Hollis]

Yes but you probably like the pop will eat itself, Carter, and the other rubbish youngsters your age go in for.

 

[19sixtysix]

I missed them in Glasgow when I was 17. I'm pulled both ways on this.
I love the smiths but wonder if I would be disapointed or blown away.
I doubt I'd feel anything but one of these two options and the risk of being disapointed leaves me wondering if I'd get a ticket.

I'm glad to see so many people concur with me. I always thought they were dreadful but they always appeared to be one of these 'sacred cow' bands that you can't knock

 

[rekil]

They should have got rid of the singer and brought in someone like Ian Astbury or David McComb.

 

[Rainingstairs]

i dig Morrissey! thankfully he's huge in LA and plays all the time. As for the Smith's...good luck..they'll never getting back again

Though Ian Astbury was still busy pretending to be Jim Morrison

I'm talking 1983ish.

Morrissey is a big fan of a band I was in once. For shame.

yeah, i've never heard anyone slag off the smiths....

 

[LDR]

If you want to see a tribute band then I believe The Smyths are good - <sold out gig when i tried to see them>

I saw them at Jamm awhile back and they were fantastic.

I even think editor put aside his tribute band prejudices that night.

were you in the new york dolls?

 

[ouchmonkey]

I though they'd already turned down £50 million to do it.

it's never going to happen and that's probably a good thing too.

 

[Tank Girl]

I think it was morrissey had turned down the £50 million. or at least that's what he's saying
