The Smiths - Fourth Headliner?

[Redcanadahat]

there have been speculation about the smiths coming back and doing a few gigs...i searched the forums and i havnt found much on this being an option..what are your views? could this possibly be the 4th band that eavis is keeping a secret from us all?

[Filthy]

I would be over the moon were it to happen but I can't see it ever happening. Mozza may play on his own though as he's touring his rather excellent new album in May.

There is no way on this earth that The Smiths will reform, now or in the future-did you not hear the interview with Morrissey on Thursday night on Radio 2? He said he is astonished at all the speculation about the band getting back together and it will never happen. Years ago I think he said he would prefer to be run over by a lorry than reform the smiths, so in a word-no!

would be absolutely amazing though if Moz played Glasto, I know he is playing Benacassim this year, would be brilliant if he played

[dannypal]

i dont know where the speculation comes from with the smiths reforming rumors (not aimed at you Redcanadahat, but the media in general) morrissey has said time and time again that the smiths will NEVER reform, they only way they will reform is with out mozza and be one of those 'from the smiths' bands.

I can see moz playing, but sometimes i find his set lists a bit crap

Moz was great on the Pyramid in 2004, a personal fave quote of his that day...

“I imagine many of you feel rather disgusting,” he enquires, “I do every day. And I’m not normally near mud. Except psychologically, of course.”

[Tugger2k]

it's not just mozzer.

johnny has also said on numerous occasions that he finds the whole idea ridiculous and isnt interested in going backwards

never going to happen, never!!

[Petewasbristol]

I thought he was poor then !

But I saw him months later at Leeds and he was brilliant !

Strange ain't it !

[PAH030]

There is more chance of tupac and elvis headlining, singing duet

[Redcanadahat]

sorry i spoke!

[MJMilz14]

[ivan]

Absolutely never going to happen...

But if it did... do you really see them as being only FOURTH headliner?

I can't see them playing second fiddle to anyone, never mind Bruce.

[DaleM]

Oh... and these 'rumours' are the ones that come about every six months that always never happen.

[The Nal]

Did Morrssiey not come out last week and say its never going to happen? Him and Marr haven’t spoken for 20 years!

Hes also said:

"I feel as if I’ve worked very hard since the demise of The Smiths and the others haven’t, so why hand them attention that they haven’t earned? We are not friends, we don’t see each other. Why on earth would we be on a stage together?

"Id rather eat my own testicles than re-form The Smiths, and that’s saying something for a vegetarian."

Err... we'll take that as a no then.

What about The Eagles comming back for a return, heard they were. Maybe 4th headliner.

if was johnny id take that as a personal insult, hes worked just as hard, if not harder, hes just chosen not to constantly repeat himself every 3 years
