I thought they both were excellent.

A face to face interview with an Icon? I haven't seen better in decades.
(Ali vs Parkinson, springs to mind)
Score draw on home turf.

What a beautiful and lovely man. I'm not sure he particularly liked JR though - he saw through the facade.

Oh b*llocks I forgot. I was in the pub.

Good combination of serious and stupid from both of them.

Mozz managed to show in just a few minutes just how vacuous most of today's celebs/'stars' are- and just how scared all of them seem to have become of saying anything even slightly controversial (if they can think of anything worthwhile to say in the first place).
'I just don't like people'- and he obviously means it.

Can't wait to see him at the Move festival this summer.

yeah i saw a documentary on him on tv a couple of months ago. i would definately agree with you there

Off to watch it now. Missed it yesterday. Stayed up especially tonight.

I was disappointed with the interview last night.

I was never a big fan of the smiths, but as time went on i have grown to appreciate them.

However, I feel that morrissey has a big story to tell, and for his first interview in 16 years to descend into a Jonathon Ross popularity contest was a big waste.

Suppose we will have to wait for the biography then. It will be the best music read since "Names are for the tombstones".....(argue it merits here!)

Dull as dishwater. Nice M&S slacks tho.

Lighten up AI, it wasn't:von: FFS!

I thought JR pulled a fantastic interview out of a long dormant volcano.

being a sucker for a bit of gossip, I just cant help thinking that JR could have been a bit probing, instead of his usual gag-whoring self.

Good call Ai
but I felt JR brought him out of his 'Morrisseyness' if you know what I mean- the glum, miserable, everyone hatse me ar$e he really is.

Performing monkies beat seals every time.

fair point

I think not.

why?

I will not have a bad word said against 'His Mozzness'. The public perception of him is tainted by the words of his songs. He is a genuinely shy and retiring man, not a miserable arse. He has refused to play the media game throughout his career and for that he deserves respect.

So why was he on the show? Cos his publicist said he had to? Cos he wants to sell more records? Cos he wants to be adored? I'm afraid I've got more respect for the likes of Will Young than for the worst kind of intellectual snob who pretends not to be playing the game.

Didn't see the JR interview myself, but....

Apparently Mozz slagged off David Bowie big time (however this was cut from the final interview shown).

I always think Morrissey comes across better in print then on TV. (e.g the south bank show smiths doc and the importance of being morrissey from earlier this year). The NME interview was hilairious! very catty!

Believe he's still bitter from when he supported Bowie.

Think he thought everything revolved around David too much

Some of you lot must have been watching something different to me . What I saw was the worst interview/interviewee in the history of TV .
Jonathan Ross did amazingly well to keep the interview going so long .

Morrissey "no you can't call me Steven" is completely obsessed with his own self importance and judging from the strained vocal performance his obsession is completely unwarranted .

Absolutely abysmal , the bloke was upset at someone "doing him" on stars in their eyes for gods sake .

Yip, it deserves mentioning here, too. He was an arrogant tosser and everything i'd ever thought of the self important prick was confirmed in this interview.

Surprises me how so many Sisters fans tolerate this man it really does

Anyway Biggy

So Mr. E would have acquitted himself better?

<-----no Stephen Morrissey fan, BTW

I've now got tickets to see him in Manchester this Saturday....

Personally, I'm looking forward to him being 'obsessed with his own self importance' and a 'strained vocal performance' is the best we ever get from our rock gods these days...

Mozz in the humungodome is better than no Mozz at all.
"Von in the humungodome is better than no Von at all." Discuss.

When? I'll go if'n it's UK.

Mohammed/Mountain interfaces don't work for me.

Well Morrissey has got you lot talking about something happening "now" at least (meant to be ironic)

Allways loved the Smiths and at least most of his own output - as said somewhere up there before, at least everyone has an opinion on him.

Personally loved the fact that he got JR asking to be his friend and basically said f*ck off....

OK, he's trying to sell a record harder than ever before, but really doubt AE would have the bottle to go for it like Mozz has these days - and that would be a challenge I'd love to be proven wrong with...(but not holding my breath)...........ever

The single has made No 3 in the "charts" too - whatever they are....
