Then stop whining you sad old dorkmeister and f*** off. "Back in the old days Morrissey was so much better and I was able to maintain an erection. Well almost." No one gives a flying f***, you keep repeating your sad story, we're not your grandchildren and we don't want to hear your war stories about the glory days. c***.

Well back in the day when you were just a cum stain on your mommas back I was watching Morrissey still in his prime and I got to see that, and all you’ll ever get to see is washed up dementia Morrissey, so your gonna hear it wether you like it or not bitch.

Great f***ing shot! Looks like he's keeping some monster at bay with his beguiling charm.

Kiss my grits asshole. I saw Morrissey twice in 91 when you were still fingering porcupines in your basement pretending to do your biology homework. It's called aging f***face. One day your butt ugly face will get even uglier with age and you'll beg me for forgiveness.

Great performance. Terrible outfits.

 

[Bluebirds]

Yes, but for the sake of this,, let's make it personal with him. I would have to look at the setlist and songwriting credits, then back to the setlist again to figure it out, but songwriting in Smiths was Morrissey/Marr, he plays a couple numbers a night, Johnny gets a small (to him) check. Songwriting in M-Solo, is Whyte, Boorer, Street, etc. I would be interested in seeing a breakdown on songwriters. Maybe he doesn't want to give certain people any money. He's kind of notorious for burning his bridges behind him. Current band members just get their normal pay.

It was just a random "what if" thought I had regarding the predominantly modern and repetitive setlist.

I don't think -where live performances are concerned - songwriting royalties are paid, unless of course, a live album/ video is released as an official product.

I don't think -where live performances are concerned - songwriting royalties are paid, unless of course, a live album/ video is released as an official product.

Here is how it works. Taken from quora and edited by me:

Musicians are NEVER responsible for paying performance royalties.
For live performances, the venue is responsible for paying song royalties to the songwriters and their assignees who may or may not be the group you associate the song with.

The local performing rights organization ASCAP, BMI, SESAC police the situation and theoretically distribute the royalties to the rightful copyright owners. It is an imperfect system.
In live performance the venue will either pay an annualized flat fee for use of copyrighted music or a percentage of concert gross, in both cases for a blanket license.

There are artists who avoid playing cover songs in concert in order to maximise their own public performance income. There are other artists who go out of their way to play a composition by someone who they know needs the income.

I think dressing the band up like this robs them of all dignity and self-respect, and just makes them look a laughing stock who'll do anything for money. I think Morrissey should go back to the classic band look: putting them in speedos and writing in marker pen on their chests.

Thanks for this, very interesting. Must be quite a difficult thing to police especially as a lot of smaller venues depend upon tribute bands to (basically) keep them open as tributes often attract larger audiences with more disposable income (for the bar).

Had no idea the venue has to pay some form of songwriting royalties

The only momma you've ever plugged is Big Momma's Pizza wrapped around your crusty mini-me dick.
Your'e the new troll in town but where you been hiding all these years? What made you leave George Michael Solo?
