What do you think's gonna happen at Morrissey's birthday concert?

[Maurice E]

Tickets are like gold dust and there are rumours of something special/unusal happening but, then again, aren't there always?
I'm not bothering going this time (went to the 2004 birthday concert) which practically guarantees that Johnny Marr will turn up!

 

[Abe Froman]

He's going to turn 50. He may even sing, too.

 

[Brel]

I'll tell you in just over a fortnight. You'll be the first to know, trust me!



Morrissey will attempt his great fire eating trick! Perhaps?

with the courteneeers comment added "thts we are in for a treat"it made me believe what i did hope for al the time before: that johnny marr is playing one single song on stage with morrissey..n but it is surely more wishful thinking on my part though than that will actually happen..but i vote for it... )
and in the end itwill be a normal concert plus maybe with the extra of a cake on stage and russell jumping out of it;-D

 

[EPbabe]

I know it's gonna happen sooooooome-daaaaaay!

 

[No Place Like Rome]

I know it's gonna happen sooooooome-daaaaaay!

eh?

Nah, Courtneers are asked to play, that's all.

Maybe he'll bust out a song he hasn't played live before or maybe there will be some sort of on stage guest but it won't be anyone from The Smiths.. I'd have said Alain but I don't know what kind of terms they are even on and don't suspect them to be very good.

It's important to remember, it's his birthday so the surprises should be for him, not for the fans.

 

[modrevolve]

Wonder if "its' not your birthday anymore" will be in the set on May 23rd?

 

[devout]

Maybe he'll be paying the crew?

 

[The Seeker of Good Songs]

I wonder if there will be cake. If so, what kind? I'm partial to a nice white cake with a cream cheese filling, and a lot of those icing flowers and such.
I like icing. I want a corner piece.

 

[Morrisseyfan08]

I think he will spontaneously combust.

Why did you say that?

 

[Abe Froman]

As if he could be any more flaming.

Hehe, I've been thinking that for ages

Alain was all ready to go record YOR. Said he had his guitars ready to go but then wasn't asked. I get the feeling that might put them on bad terms.

Admittedly, tuning a few guitars isn't a whole lot of preparation.

 

[Uncleskinny]

Alain and the band are still on good terms. That's a fact. Yes, Bored is right, but they're still on good terms.

That's not the point.

He wrote most of the songs and was not asked to play on the record while stating that he had every intention of doing it. He then was not able to go do something he wanted and in many ways it belonged to him.

I wouldn't be surprised if Alain is not a big fan of Moz right now.

What about Alain and Moz?
What is your source for this?

Hahah, in this case, what do you think would happen if Marr, Rourke, and Joyce broke in, tied up Boz, Matt, Jesse, Solomon, and Kris in a cupboard somewhere, and plugged in before he came onstage?
Mozza just walks onstage and is like
