Me, Jonny Giles, Ness & Greg are doing The Charlatans that night (Manchester invades London!)..but there's a big gap after the 8th so I assume he'll add more London dates..I'll think about it...
another night might be added, but i'm not sure if Wembley arena will sell out...
The big gap is for the Germany tour.
ummm... all of them. But Germany was planned, butI was only planning on buying Glasgee, Wembley and G Mex this week. However, a mate has bought me Newcastle and Nottingham, and my much maligned Mother has bought me Birmingham. Which i thought was actually quite nice of her.

Why would anyone want Marr over Jesse Tobias?
Rourke over Gary Day?

aahhh, yer too young to know.
I don't really have an opinion about the rest of the band, but I just don't agree that any of the post-Smiths guitarists have held a candle to Marr.
I thought this was most obvious when I was sober and stood right next to Jesse* when he tried to do a couple of Smiths songs in Dundee. Just nowhere near the level of skill of Marr.
I was really disapointed in Boz Boorer on the two dates I saw - he didn't play half as well as I thought he would. His best performance was tapping a glass of water, drinking some then tapping it again.
Someone was playing excellent rockabilly guitar on the early post-Smiths material, but that was just one side of Marr. I've never heard anoyone match Morrissey's lyrics and voice as well as Marr, and a lot of Mozz's solo work cries out for him to join in.
Still, it's the best we can do for now. I hope to be there for these gigs.
*Assuming Jesse is that Spanish-looking guiratist that plays with Mozz now?
Absolutely- saw Mozza at the apollo this year as well as Marr doing the Manc v Cancer show in January. Marr blew Morissey's version of How Soon is Now of the stage. Moz is good but with Marr he is great.
In all honestly, having heard How Soon Is Now live 18 times, it quite frankly bores the arse off me. The Marr version was good, but the first few times I heard How Soon Is Now it was stupidly awesome.
Morrisseys version (or rather, the Tobias and Farrell version) kicks the arse of the Marr version. i think that night too many people were sucked in by Marr and Rourke doing two famous Smiths songs.
Anyway, i am currently trying to work out where to go for a night out after the gigs. There is a funny argument going on on Solow at the moment about the pros and cons of the Brickhouse as a venue.
wait until we see liam's list
