Morrissey at King George's Hall
 
Anyone else manage to get tickets to see Morrissey on 11th May at King George's Hall? Tickets went on sale at 9am, I sat hitting redial from 9 onwards, and finally got through at 9.50....phew! It sold out not long after, I believe. In fact every venue has sold out, as a work colleague tried ringing them all up this afternoon! Should be a fantastic night, I can't wait!

You know you don't really want to go so I will buy your tickets off you if that's ok ?

Oh no, please don't tell me Morrisey is going to inflict his own brand of depression back on the world again!

Come on Gayle there is nothing depressing about Morrissey, just excellent music.

His new album out soon is supposed to be his best solo work according to his producer. Hopefully it is! I loved 'You Are The Quarry', 'Irish Blood, English Heart'is a great anthem.

Yes, excellent music for slitting your wrists to!

Wasn't a massive fan back in the eighties, too much competition for me in the tortured angst stakes, but when I heard 'First of the Gang to Die' off his latest album, I decided he is a genius.

Didn't even know he was coming to King George's.:)

Will do the groupy bit by the stage door.:)

Why does he inspire such love from straight men?

Weird, but totally cool.

I seem to remember in another thread you said you were a Cliff fan, Gayle....
...says it all really doesnt it? :D

I think Morrissey and The Smiths are particularly 'blokes music', as the lyrics are quite exclusive. Whereas your taste in music (forgive me for being ignorant, just going off the Cliff thing here) seems to be very much 'easy listening'?
Tastes differ and all that....

Mozzer's back baby! wooooo

I've always wondered this myself. I was once with a new boyfriend and we went back to his flat and we were just getting to the kissing part of the date when he went and put a Morrissey album on. Talk about killing the mood! That relationship ended very quickly, about as quickly as it took me to get my coat on!

See we all know Shakey loves the ladies, but he's come over all soft for Morrisey.:D

All these blokes jumping on stage to kiss their idol, it's freakin' me out.:eek:

No, not at all. You've completely got me wrong there. I said I thought very early Cliff stuff was good - he was a rocker then and the English equivalent of Elvis. I'm a bit too young to have been round then but he was not easy listening in that period.

I always thought it was a bit of a myth, the thing about his music being depressing, I think there's so much humour in his lyrics. See you there Uncle Mick, glad someone else was as lucky as me. I did consider doing a Daniel O'Donnell and camping outside King George's Thursday night, and had a few stressful moments this morning when I kept getting the engaged tone!

We may actually have a couple of spare tickets as we bought extra "just in case". Will know more after tomorrow night. Gayle was always more shiny happy music, Culture Club,Scritti Polliti,Slik. I`m not a massive Mosser fan myself but last time he played King Georges my mate won tickets from the Observer and persuaded me to go and I was very impressed. Oh and Klacto, we`ve probably met in the past, New Era, Sports centre, Disc`N `Tape so lets see who spots who first!!
