The Smiths - Coachella 2009

[moviebruin]

I'm not a big fan of them. But, those that are will be happy to know that they will be delivered to Coachella Polo Grounds for the festivals 10 yr anniversary. Of course nothing is set in stone by a longshot, but 11 months from now when they are confirmed, remember where you heard it first. I give this a 75% chance of happening at this point from what information I've been hearing.

get ready for the fail pics.

[Cdubby]

[SFChrissy]

[moviebruin]

get ready for the fail pics.

Fail away. I come here w/ legit info. not w/ silly wishlists and stupid debates, which comprises 95% of the posts here. check out my past posts. Have a nice day.

Okay. Here you are in regard to Flight of the Conchords:

My source still claims they gonna perform. he doesnt know when and what day but he stands by his claim. he is usually correct 95% of the time.

If that's your source at 95% accuracy, I won't be holding my breath for The Smiths.

[Sexecutioner]

i'm so fucking sick of people on here talking about the smiths!!

a) they fucking suck
b) they fucking hate each other and wont ever play together

so all you goths that want to relive your sad, depressed youth, please just go slit your wrists instead. it will be almost the same thing as seeing the smiths.

[sbessiso]

aw c'mon sexecutioner, a tad harsh

i fucking <3333 the smiths, but i've always always always been a goth at heart

[Sexecutioner]

aw c'mon sexecutioner, a tad harsh

yea, maybe, im just sick of people talking about them being at coachella. not happening. get over it already.

[sbessiso]

agreed. turning down 5 mill speaks a lot, and morrissey tours and performs a shitload of smiths songs already, their set wouldnt be so outrageously good

[thestripe]

sbessiso, you are going to be called to the Letting that Old Avatar Go thread soon.

nooooo!!

well, I have been considering it, truth be told, but I can never find anything that feels like a worthy replacement, who cares, he's got a new album out soon, so he's gunan be on peoples minds again

They were in fact there. they just didnt perform. haha. Can you please hold your breath anyways? preferbably for 30 mins straight?

[sbessiso]

I would be pretty stoked if you were right moviebruin, but i'm sure you'll understand the hesitation, especially this early in the game

[humanoid]

well cool, maybe the Smiths will show up and not perform.....that's really what I'm hoping for

[BlackSwan]

Talking Heads would be better.

True. The dollar amount will be significantly raised. But, of course ultimately its up to them. That being said I would rather have 2-3 great mid/high level acts for the same price. I find the Smiths super boring and if they played, I would find myself in the Sahara actually having fun as opposed to getting really depressed.

[TonyWonder]

Fuck paying The Smiths more than 5 million. Give that money to Bowie.

[sbessiso]

I understand, but I'm physically not able to say "No" to Morrissey

i'd rather have Bowie though

[Cheddar's Cousin]

How about Modest Mouse and Morrissey then?

[sbessiso]

aw fuck yeah, now we're cookin'

Dude morrisey has already said that he won't do it. They hate each other. Really Really hate each other. The drummer sued Morrisey.

[Bud Luster]

Though I do not care for Bowie or The Smiths / Morrisey, I fully endorse this idea.

[Boourns]

The Smiths = instant sellout

Will never happen, though.

[sbessiso]

Bowie I think will make the place sellout too, and it's quite possible too

so whats the most popular of the wish list now?
bowie, outkast, gorillaz (*coughbeckthewhitestripescough*)

[Boourns]

PULP PULP PULP PULP PULP

More essential than a Smiths reunion because:
a) there's actually a chance of this happening
2) Moz plays Smiths songs, Jarvis doesn't play Pulp songs
d) Moz actually tours, Jarvis doesn't

[amyzzz]

I fully support this. And I fully support any future Smiths rumor or real threads. Woo Smiths!

[microserfs21]

Seeing Morrisey this summer so I could care less if he or the smiths play next year. Bowie would be cool though.

[PassiveTheory]

*sigh* They, being the non-Morrissey members of the band, don't hate each other. Marr's performecd with Rourke, Joyce might still be bitter towards Rourke for dropping his part of the lawsuit, but Joyce seems to contribute to all the damn Smiths interviews/movies/etc. (like the Smiths Mojo magazine issue a few months ago). Also Marr publically stated that he'd consider getting back with Moz and co.

It's all on Morrissey.

He doesn't even hate Marr for leaving him anymore. He probably is still spiteful of Joyce, but I think he's on a non-hate level with Rourke.

The thing is, before his solo career took off, Morrissey really thought he couldn't have a career without the likes of Marr. Then he found out that people would STILL buy his records, with or without Marr and co., so, basically, Morrissey doesn't see a real reason to get back with the other guys.

I mean, he basically spelled it out by saying that they hadn't worked for anything since the split of the Smiths.

No matter what amount of money you toss at Moz, he's going to need an artistic/aesthetic reason to get back together with the other guys.
