  • Paul Morley visits the Flowerpot Pub in Derby to meet the Smyths, a tribute band to the Smiths. Singer Graham Sampson explains why he aims for 'a level of intelligence' that Morrissey would hope for in his fans.

    For those of us who never had the opportunity to enjoy a Smiths live show, the Smyths is the closest we will ever get. Looking forward to the Australian tour 2019.

    Paul Morley's questions were ridiculous! OF COURSE the "Smyths" understand there will be some who do not like the idea of a "Smiths" cover band, but the whole thing is SIMPLY a reason to have a night out with the music we all LOVE.

    My girlfriend and I are too young to have ever seen the Smiths live, so having a band like this that can deliver a taste of the past we never got to experience was really appreciated. Had a great night seeing these guys in London and will definitely see them again. Never thought I'd ever get the chance to sing "I've seen this happen in other people's lives, now it's happening in mine" at the top of my voice with a crowd full of likeminded people. Thanks lads!

    I find it funny how the other band members except the singer don’t try at all to look like them at all, no hate I just find it funny

    Saw these guys in Perth, Australia last Saturday, they were phenomenal. It was a genuine tribute, not an impersonation. The band were so tight and the music sounded so, so fresh. The Smiths never sounded so good, it was a fantastic night. They were amazing.

      @debutch7777 5 лет назад +2

      Spot on!! There are some highly professional tribute bands nowadays that work hard on getting the sound & the image right and it makes a great night out for fans who never get to see the originals.

    As a Morrissey 'impression' I'd say it's pretty good, but It's not that accurate, just sounds like he's putting on a voice. Morrissey's true vocals are fantastic. I would like to add though, I saw them recently at an event and the singer had got better, but still not quite spot on...

    Just saw them. Magnificent. This Morley, what a knob. Over intellectualizing a tribute band. Really?

  • @wesmatron
    @wesmatron 5 лет назад +1

    Ken, it's a fucking tribute band that people enjoy listening to because they can't go and watch the original any longer. No need to try to cross-examine existential creation of the 'newness' and all that shite. Just enjoy it.

    OK, you sound like Kermit, the NME ripped the shit out of me, Morley's behaving himself. The Smiths were original, so was Bowie. Money changes everything. necrophilia.
