• Josh Klinghoffer Blames 'the Culture' for Morrissey Album Delay - Ultimate Classic Rock (June 5, 2022)

He was just talking about Morrissey's relationship with the press.

He clearly loves him & thinks he's a good person.

But how can one be a good person and wear a For Britain pin? Btw I am being facetious.

I was arguing with people on Twitter the other day & this really was the level of their reasoning.

Plus sending me the same garbage articles - some of which are so inaccurate they're anti-fan fiction.

Someone break it to Josh gently that Morrissey always says the most recent album he recorded is his favorite.

To be fair, all artists have to say this, otherwise who would buy the new record?

Well that was foolish but also brave. The mob love an easy fight. Nuance, reason and research are not their go to weapons of choice.

I've never heard the term world of Morrissey phrased like that. It's interesting re his compilation album from '95. Could he have meant... they think the world of Morrissey, as in his fans?

Yes I am reaching.

oh, in the song "boxers" which is on that compilation morrissey himself uses that phrase: "your nephew, it's true, well, he thinks the world of you" ...

Ah yes good catch!

 

[Mayfly]

Josh says that only he, Chad Smith, Andrew Watt and Jesse Tobias play on Bonfire of Teenagers (55:06).

The previous CDs featured many guest musicians playing various instruments.
Perhaps it is a good thing to return to a more basic line-up: his best solo albums of the 90s were also recorded with just 4 musicians. Should we expect a return to a rock sound then?
