Why Alain Whyte Left ?

It's not entirely clear, but one of the posters here who knows him told us there was some issue with another person who works for Morrissey or worked for him who was very difficult to get along with and/ot very disrespectful to other members of the band.

Jesse .... ?

Jesse .... ?

I can't really recall, but I think that's a possibility, also there was or is a manager or someone, my memory is terrible on some of these things

Allegedly a brutish tour manager and generally a bad atmosphere was the main reason for Alain's leaving.

Thank you. And Gustavo too, right?

 

[Bizarro]

Is it my imagination or does she bear a passing resemblance to a young J Marr?

Very much your imagination.

Could the Quarry shows have been canceled because this band can't play the songs? Maybe they rehearsed and it didn't sound good. This was when Morrissey was allegedly convalescing in Zurich, which was the reason given for cancelation.

They were cancelled because they were only 20% sold despite basically giving tickets away a week out. Resting in Zurich was just cover, because remember just a week or so earlier he was bored not vaping in Paris.

No fans asked for a 20th anniversary show for this LP. Moz hastily announced them to get the attention of LA record labels. It was clear from the onsale that there was no demand.

Right after this fiasco is when new management was brought on to right the ship. Which they did.

I never thought resting in Zurich was a real thing unless it was alcohol rehab. That plane incident is an alcoholic, not just someone having anxiety on a plane. He looks like an alcoholic, he is aging like one and I think some of the things he posts to Central are written when drunk, they are so absurd and out of line.

Any excuse to write more lies…

I don’t disagree. A 65 year old celeb with internet access surrounded by yes-men is an interesting thing to witness.

Well, he's an absolute genius and rebel but too stupid to get on the internet, haven't you heard? Not only does he not know how to use his website, he can't even find it on the internet because he doesn't know what an internet is, despite his numerous comments about this site and what's on it.

 

[gashonthenail]

Carmen is cool.

 

[Mike Thomas]

Seems like this is just a sarcastic joke. Perhaps she is the only smoker in the group that therefore takes smoking breaks? I don’t think she would be in the band if M didn’t like her playing.

 

[Ashley_TakeABow]

She is obnoxious

 

[Ashley_TakeABow]

How I dearly wish I had one of those hats.

Thanks. If now the beloved @dneuer would kindly share some information on the re-recording and if Alain knows something about it. Splendid.
