Word on the street in England is that Spike Smith is out as drummer for the album currently being recorded and Dean Butterworth is in.
--- An anonymous person sends the Jerry Finn / Blink-182 ad which mentions "Finn is currently in London producing Morrissey's forthcoming album (Sanctuary - Merck Mercuriadis)."

It's like we all live in one big village - with country yokels and wenches, a single village pub and Church on Sunday.
I was on a train last year crossing a particulary beautifull part of the South Downs, two American women were sitting opposite me -''"Oh - They made it look just like New England"
bloody priceless

I used to hope in Spike,so i'm truly disappointed
truly truly truly.
With Finn we'll have Morrissey in a power-pop version.Certain songs will sound more aggressive,more energetic .
Let's hope for the best!

Plus he needed to listen to a click track before songs to get the right tempo.
In an ideal world Paresi would be on the stool, but his minor media commitments presumably curtail that possibility.

Neither Spike nor Dean compare to Spencer though...Sorry Dean. Spencer was and will always be amazing. Best drummer Morrissey has ever had.

Who on earth would listen to Morrissey because of the music? It's his lyrics that attract the vast majority of us.
And for his musical abilities, he himself said "'She said I know you, and you cannot sing.' I said 'That's nothing, you should hear me play piano.'"

The following is in NO WAY directed towards any one here on the boards or at Moz himself.
WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING TO THE GREATEST MUSIC OF ALL TIME!!! It's bad enough I see Robert Smith and the Cure working with Blink 182 but this is too much. Do these artists not know that in America Blink 182 is the COMPLETE WORST, MOST COMMERCIAL, FAKEST ATTEMPT AT PUNK EVER? Do they know Blink 182's fan base consists of mainly 12-14 year old kids??? The only reason I can see for these connections is the artists trying to reach out to that younger fan base to try and bring them on. That is sell out by it's definition and I can not let myself come to believe that people like Smith or Morrissey would do that. So can soemone please tell me how Blink 182 and a producer as bad as Jerry Finn are working their way into the history books next to some of the greatest minds music has had to offer. This is wrong. So very wrong.

I have to respond. (Score:1)
Introducing the band he says, "And the best drummer we've ever had... Deano!" So how is anyone surprised he's working on the new album. He's the ONLY drummer to have played the new songs after all.
And just because Jerry Finn has produced Green Day, Blink 182 etc doesn't make him a bad producer. He's a GOOD producer but so manys minds are too closed to notice. Do you think multi-national record companys would hire and trust someone who can't produce? Didn't think so.

Finn? Why do people say he's a bad producer because he produced groups they hate?? Blink 182 and Green Day? I could care less, But, it doesn't mean he didn't do a great job with those bands and played some part in their mega success, hate them or not. It doesn't mean he'll want to make Moz sound like nu-metal faux punk...
I'm open to Finn all the way. Why not??

if the songs have strong, beautifully-sung, catchy melodies, and Moz has come up with some half-decent lyrics, how many of us will really notice the quality of the drumming?

Now it's Ivan's time to shine!
Y'know, although I personally am not a fan of Finn's work (with the exception pf Pennywise - About Time:), I am curious to listen to he sees... or hears Morrissey in his lil' producer mind of his...
then again, the recent efforts of Finn's career comes to my mind, three bands who suddenly became more popular than ever with their Finn-produced albums...
blink182 - Enema of The State (1999)
Finn produced this baby and made this three-piece band from playing played only on KROQ and 91X to being played everywhere. Everywhere!
The Price They Paid - being forever associated with crude sexual humor.
Bad Religion - The Process Of Belief (2002)
Another Finn byproduct. It was hyped as 'the future of punk to come' album. Was it? Not at all. The LP was disappointing, and the band further utilized that "pop" sound they've had on they're last four albums. Finn, however, made sure that 'Sorrow' tune would be nice and catchy so it could be played on all radio stations.
which brings me to...
AFI - Sing The Sorrow (2003)
well ...what can I say about this band and this album that hasn't already been said? Finn and [Butch] Vig mad sure that DreamWorks would get they're monies worth of these East Bay natives, and when the band won that MTV2 award, they did.
Oh, and they're now beloved by all kinds of people and made their fans who were "with them from the beginning", quite green eyed.
now...will Morrissey have a similar fate?
Will Morrissey's new album be a success?
A dud?
Will Morrissey be skyrocketed to the Fandom he once had?
Will he attract a new audience?
Will you be happy?
Will you be jealous?
So many questions, but the answers will all be revealed very soon.
Well, as a Morrissey fan, I've done my part.
(I'm assuming I'm the only Duarte resident to do so as well!)
Now...just stretch out and wait.
(so sue me, I couldn't resist!)
