The very fact you've brought it up says otherwise.

Not a lover of big arena gigs, generally overblown affairs.

Best gigs Dandy Warhols at Manchester uni,
THe charlatans back in 95 at Hull uni and then the emotional comeback after Rob Collins died when they supported oasis at Knebworth 96.
Worst gig was the manics on the same bill, truly awful.

I love the stone roses but they are awful live.
Biggest regret not going to see the smiths in 85 / 86 and going round town instead, what a tool I was.

Much as I love the roses they are well known for bad gigs probably one in two

The Smiths played at Hull University in 1984 when they was on the cusp of a breakthrough, our kid went but I wasn't that interested. What a buffoon!! Morrissey described Hull as a beautiful town! I saw Johnny Marr on a train to Hull 4/5 years ago. Yes it's true! I spoke to him about music and things and he was an absolute top bloke, I'll never forget it.

The Smiths - Great band but not The Beatles.

Also, I met Danny Wilde before a gig in Scarborough a few weeks ago and he was a really pleasant bloke as well. Big star but so down to earth. A legend.

The Smiths are the most influential band of our era, certainly changed the way i looked at music. Saw JM playing with THE THE just after the smiths split, saw him with the pretenders and the healers too. Always a bigger Marr fan than Morrissey.

Strange really because I saw Squire with the seahorses, Ryder with Black grape and Hook with Monaco but never saw the Roses, Mondays or New order.

Some of the Beatles more out there stuff was good but generally a bit too poppy for me.
