• NME: "Morrissey announces ‘You Are The Quarry’ 20th anniversary shows in the US" - December 1, 2023

 

[Bulbous Salutation]

Wow. Who saw this coming?!?
Moz world, it’s a hell of a drug,

 

[Mayfly]

It's almost as if he's been reading the comments on this forum for the setlist of his '40 Years' tour. On the one hand I'm encrouraged that he's FINALLY shaking the setlist up. On the other hand, it's a shame that none of the musicians who actually performed on Quarry will be involved, and with his current form it's a 50/50 as to whether the shows will go ahead or be cancelled at the last second.

I really wish he would invite Boz and / or Alain back just for these 2 concerts.
We just saw Alain and Boz together in LA so it can be done if the heart wants it.
But probably expecting too much here

 

[JM🇬🇧]

I'm aware of that. It is still not representative of 40 years.

There’s no pleasing some people.

 

[Mayfly]

Moz should do like Peter Hook did when he played every Joy Division song (albums, singles, b-sides) in one night. Imagine a night featuring every Moz solo song! It would be a long night! But seriously, Moz should do the Quarry b-sides as well as the album, maybe that's what he's planning. Otherwise he should do Quarry/Ringleader or Quarry/Southpaw double bills.

Quarry + Ringleader together have too many songs for him
Quarry + Southpaw has at least the total right.

 

[Seymour Glass]

So it's kinda, like, you're two people.
Guess which one we don't want to know? .

Guess how much I care?

 

[Mike Rourke]

It's good to hear some positive news on the day he cancelled Perth.
But I never much liked Quarry. So much blandness.
Guess he'll play other other songs, too.
Maybe some of the b-sides to the singles (which in fairness were actually pretty flipping good).

 

[Anonimyth]

How easy you take the bait. 45 min of Moz looking bored then he bounces w/o encore



You think he enjoys doing this kind of thing? Of course not. It's just another cashgrab.

 

[A Man Escaped]

Your Arse, Vauxhall and half a dozen Smiths songs. That's all you need. It really is.

 

[marred]

Until I have confirmation Morrissey is going to turn up to the rest of the Australian tour I could not give a flying f*** what he does with quarry.

I find Quarry fairly bland also. The B sides are a better album.

 

[MandaBee]

The band/crew must be loving this. A jaunt around the world at MOZI’s expense, barely having to work. And, if the backing track story is true, barely having to work even when they are working.

You just know those two women are going to be all over the music websites, telling their tales of woe once this pathetic excuse for a tour ends.

Sexist much!

 

[TheSmiths_1985]

Sexist much!

 

[Dead Girl]

The gall of this guy. To announce new shows the same day he once again cancelled a show on a whim.

I was thinking the exact same thing.

 

[SuedeMoz]

Depends. Is there a town called "Ireland" in California?

No, but there is a Dublin - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dublin,_California

 

[Dead Girl]

Oh yeah because he definitely scheduled these posts himself. Pure spite.

It's true that he probably doesn't post these things himself but it still must feel like a kick in the ass to those that got cancelled on. It was in bad taste on the part of whomever did post this today. Terrible timing.

Although perhaps those Quarry anniversary show announcements were scheduled to be posted today by someone who has absolutely nothing to do with the cancellation posts and may not have even known that he canceled a show today.

 

[hand in glove]

America is the world.

California is the world

 

[Dead Girl]

Wow. Who saw this coming?!?
Moz world, it’s a hell of a drug,

And I am, unfortunately, an addict.

 

[Phranc & Open]

Without one original musician from 02-04? Pointless.

 

[The Wild Turkey]

Wonder if Moz is gonna switch up the lyrics to
America Is Not The World, since Obama was
the Prez.
Kinda hopin' he switches it up to:

But where the President
Is never a Turkey, female or gay

 

[marred]

Maybe the concert should be titled I Am The Quarry?
