I know this might be the 1-billionth time this has been rumored, but here it is again:

Not sure who their "credible sources" are, but my fingers are crossed...in a weird, pathetic, super-fan-boy kind of way.

Re: Smiths to Reform?
Blimey, if you think how quickly the Stone Roses shows sold out when they reformed and how much money they all made then I can't even begin to imagine what a Smiths reunion would generate. Am I right in thinking that the Smiths were more successful/had a bigger following outside of the UK than the Roses? Having never seen the Smiths first time around, I'd have to say I would be rather interested in seeing them.

Re: Smiths to Reform?
I am pretty sure I woul break my golden rule about not seeing reformed bands in the case of The Smiths. While I was always a bit "Meh" about their records, I saw them regularly from 1983-1986. They were nearly always phenomenally good live and almost always the atmosphere was incredible. I suspect this is rumour is total crap, though.Shinesalight wrote:Blimey, if you think how quickly the Stone Roses shows sold out when they reformed and how much money they all made then I can't even begin to imagine what a Smiths reunion would generate.

Was a huge fan back in the day and still regularly listen to them but can't see this happen with Joyce involved. Can only see the gigs in huge venues which would turn me off. And they'd have to ban the burger vans

Re: Smiths to Reform?
i thought i caught wind somewhere this week, that Morrissey said they were offered an insane amount of money, so this might be true

'Dostoevsky's dead,' said the citizeness, but somehow not very confidently.
'I protest!' Behemoth exclaimed hotly. 'Dostoevsky is immortal!”

Re: Smiths to Reform?
According to the NME this is just rubbish and has been denied by Marr's manager. Of course, this probably means it will happen but as yet no Smith RIP paintings by Marr have been seen.

Re: Smiths to Reform?
very much doubt this is happening (mind you, I've said that before..)
I'd probably be tempted to check them out if it does. its not like their some punk band who relied on their youthful vigour and rebelliousness.
I have read somewhere that Morrissey and Marr are on cordial terms.
