Hmm. The backing track is good. I keep thinking of this video every time I hear Mozz sing now -

That's interesting, crikey, they're huge numbers!

I didn't see it as much as I did later, if I'm honest. During the Smiths period, he had some quotes such as "all reggae is vile" for example, but his attitude didn't seem as problematic as it later became. My own first real awareness was on the Your Arsenal album - then looking back at this solo...

It's not great tbh; I just wish he'd stop now.

Didn't put me off; i was looking forward to hearing this anew. It still sounds great. I haven't dug into the extra's yet though.

Deadly.

Jaysis I thought that was some old alky helping himself!! Is that for real?

Is that as in Captain and Tennille? Will give it a read later

I don't have as much love for Strangeways, though it has some great songs on it. Morrissey and Marr seemed to think it was the band's finest moment - apparently they had great fun making it. I just think TQID hangs together better as a complete LP. As other posters have said though, there's no...

It's only the Metallers who hate it. Need I say more?

I just thought it was a pic of well know Smiths enthusiast Phil Collins. I'm gutted now.

On reflection, my last comment there was a bit stupid. Regarding QID's production, none if the Smiths albums escaped the awful 80s studio sound. QiD though is more bearable for me than say, Meat is Murder. Also I think the song quality on QiD is so good that I can listen past the awful...

No I haven't read that @old though I've heard good stuff about it. I know there are production issues with QID but I don't hear them anymore I don't think. The songs override that stuff for me.

had Had to laugh at "unseemly" hehe, how very Victorian! That's @egg's invite to afternoon tea down the WC :D

You would certainly hope so. Scutter mentioned this earlier, but It's always terribly sad when your heroes/idols/fave musicians/whatever fall out. I was reading that ramalbumclub piece on McCartney's Ram earlier, and the bits about the Beatles falling out as friends made awful reading, just...

I don't know for certain, but I've a pretty strong idea that Rourke and Joyce wrote their own parts.

It's no Reign in Blood, I'll give you that :D

Ah they were definitely kindred spirits and very much in tune and in league for most of the band's lifespan. Morrissey himself even said that Marr's calling round to Mozz's gaff to ask him to write songs with him, literally saved his life.

Absolutely; a fantastic rhythm section. You could practically hum Rourke's bass lines, not to mention Joyce's drum patterns (well, almost!)
