Different Jake, different Jake.

They didn't really do much for me (Royal Albert Hall) though their cause wasn't helped by being far too loud, which not only reduced their sound to indistinguishable mush, but caused me some physical discomfort. One and bit songs in and I felt my left ear starting to go so I had to stand with my...

I don't want to speculate too much, but I think it's more likely to be stress / depression related than it is chemical. The Swindon collapse - 'breathing difficulties' and all - seemed closer to something like a panic attack than substance abuse. I think he's feeling the affects of all of this...

Re: Moz walks off stage If it were up to me no alcohol would be allowed into the main concert hall. It's not necessary, it doesn't enhance anything other than the strength of the pungent odour emanting from the pours of the people next to me as they down their pints. And then, of course, the...

Re: Yes he is. You can buy extremely high quality, convincing non-leather shoes if you're willing to fork out for them, which I imagine he does nowadays.

I don't wear animals. It's a pain in the backside attempting to purchase shoes at a reasonable price, but to say it isn't 'doable' would be a complete lie. Again, it's easy unless you make it a terrible struggle. I will say that although Morrissey doesn't wear leather nowadays he wore it for...

It's very easy. Meat was such a massive part of my diet until I made the snap decision one day to give it up. Avoiding gelatin and so on is extremely easy too - it involves a fair bit of lable checking, but unless you live by jelly sweets and marshmallows it's not difficult. :)

It entered at #55, which doesn't surprise me. I really looked for reasons to justify buying it but I don't have a fantastic amount of money and there are simply so many things I'd rather put what I do have towards.

I've no doubt that this was just ill-phrased. I don't believe Marr would seek to denigrate Morrissey, not after recently admitting that he has occasional contact with him nowadays.

It's a bit catty and harsh but I somewhat agree with parts of it, particularly that he seemed uncomfortable. He seemed more deliberate in his actions than I've ever seen before and I think that's why some were given the impression of indifference - personally, I think it was that he - quite...

Yeah. I mean, it's such a strong song with such a strong vocal melody that it survives on a basic level and was enjoyable to me for that reason but it could be reworked in so many more interesting ways. I suppose what it is at the moment is precisely what Morrissey wants and, well, with it being...

A very good vocal effort by Morrissey, a setlist which was very nice in parts, a tad leaden in others and, all in all, a nice night. However, in terms of the overall performance it wasn't up there with the shows I attended in 2004 and 2006 where genuine passion and ferver seeped from his every...

Re: OMG!! Morrissey collapsed on stage - Swindon Well, wouldn't you be if....?

Re: OMG!! Morrissey collapsed on stage - Swindon So he's stable...but in what bracket? You could be critical but stable, for instance....

Re: OMG!! Morrissey collapsed on stage - Swindon Assuming he is okay - which, clearly, I hope with all my being that he is - I hope to f*** that he cancels the rest of this tour. No one wants to see an ailing Morrissey wobbled onstage and sweat through his set when he could be at home looking...
