I'd love to know if the non release of albums was a factor. As co writers, I imagine they were expecting royalties to fund the pension pot.

There’s not much money to be made of royalties nowadays I’d imagine… though maybe still a decent amount? I’d expect most of the money would be made from live shows.

Now, if you (co)wrote a song you would naturally want to see it released, instead of languishing in the vaults somewhere. Not just for money but for the sake of artistic satisfaction and reputation.

That said, Alain at least was in that situation for years with the Quarry songs so it would hardly have been a surprise to him.

 

[Crisstti]

I think they simply weren’t asked back.
Like usual.

I think Morrissey is more than happy with the new recruits. Hence the announcements.

Well Alain’s friend dneuer said he quit, so I’m assuming that’s what happened.

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

I wonder will he add the "My life is an
endless succession of people saying goodbye" to the next tour setlist?

he sings his life, doesn’t he

 

[The Wild Turkey]

True. Then again, it would have been nice if they stuck together a little longer, especially for those that didn’t get to see Alain with M.

Sucks, but I hope some good comes out of it for both sides. Alain & Gustavo seem positive about it, so that’s great.

Yep, it'd be a bummer if ya wanted to see Alain play with Moz.
Then again, maybe ya might make some new memories when
ya hear the new group.

 

[The Wild Turkey]

Yeah, I'm not entirely opposed to change. But first on the list to go should be Jesse, who has outstayed his welcome by at least a decade. If Moz is going for wholesale change he should dump the lot. Sam and Fiona can take a hike whilst he's at it.

Guess this new stuff is Moz's vision.
Maybe Moz got that vision goin' strong enough, that he
decided it was time to bring it to fruition.

 

[Wait and see]

I'd love to know if the non release of albums was a factor. As co writers, I imagine they were expecting royalties to fund the pension pot.

They quit because if Jesse and Donnie, no other reason. You can dress it up and speculate all you want. And you can ask for sources and the answer will be no. It’s the f***ing truth.

 

[🐈🐈🐈]

Wasn’t it quoted by M that Miley is a great singer and even Jesse liked her and he doesn’t like humans with boobies.

 

[The Wild Turkey]

It'd be super cute if Moz announced that the singer for the forthcoming tour of
Israel / Ireland / England, is gonna be Lloyd Cole.
It'd be hilarious.
People would freak.

 

[George V]

I see Knutson has gone private on IG.

 

[SuedeMoz]

Are you saying it that way because you think it frames Morrissey in a superior light? Granted what we've heard isn't necessarily "gospel" but it's that the musicians left out of unhappiness and frustration.

The announcements come off more as saving face since they don't mention anything about those that departed. No goodbye, no thanks for the memories, nothing.

 

[Famous when dead]

I see Knutson has gone private on IG.

He privated his IG about 3wks ago.
Purged loads of followers - Alain & Gus are no longer following.
Juan, Jesse & Brendan remain following him.
FWD.

 

[SuedeMoz]

That said, Alain at least was in that situation for years with the Quarry songs so it would hardly have been a surprise to him.

Probably once was enough and maybe he didn't want to endure another period without a record contract anywhere in sight. Considering when he rejoined the expectation was that BOT would be released.

 

[Surface]

All of Thewlis's posts are intended to paint Morrissey in a superior light. Quite pathetic really.

 

[Thewlis]

Well Alain’s friend dneuer said he quit, so I’m assuming that’s what happened.

Well he wouldn’t say that, wouldn’t he?

Alain said ‘See you in Dublin’ in that same week, so his exit definitely wasn’t planned.

Incidentally this dneuer ‘dislikes’ this OP of the Camila announcement so he still seems very sour about the whole situation.

 

[Thewlis]

No not at all, it is hardly ‘superior’ if you dispose of band members so easily. But given Morrissey’s track record hardly surprising either.

 

[goinghome]

Are these changes more momentous than we realise? Did Morrissey ever perform live on stage with a woman or women before? All I can think of in any way related is the duet with Siouxsie, which in the end they recorded separately. And while there have been backing singers aplenty, no mixed group on stage. So both Carmen and Camille joining now is a big deal and will definitely create a different vibe. It'll be interesting. David Bowie had a fantastic female guitarist who added massively to proceedings.

Who's to know about Alain and the others? What anonymous people here are telling us is very dubious. If someone knows what happened, surely they'd have the integrity to be discreet for all involved and not malign anyone. Pretending to know and badmouthing indicates other motives.

Carmen and Camille will add colour as they rock and 'boot the grime of the world in the crotch'.

 

[Phranc & Open]

All very nice, very nice but can we have FIDO's attempts to explain this logical step towards more diversity, please. Thanks in advance.

 

[SmithsIsLife]

All very nice, very nice but can we have FIDO's attempts to explain this logical step towards more diversity, please. Thanks in advance.

Oh god, I can’t wait for her take on his.

Yes, I thought the same thing. Quite like Bowie with Gail Ann Dorsey in the 90s.
It will definitely bring a new exciting vibe to the band.

 

[Malarkey]

I think it's great he's working with women - but it's very sad he couldn't work out the 'management' problems.
