Throwing out his own fans – has Morrissey finally lost it?

After a 5,000-mile trip from LA to Copenhagen, a Morrissey fansite owner was looking forward to seeing his favourite artist in concert. Instead he was refused entry and given a lifetime ban

That joke isn't funny any more ... Morrissey throws fansite owner out of concert.

Not the same at all Prince's T-shirts tend to say "Eff NPGMC.com" or "Eff lotusflow3r.com"

NOTE: that was purely for comedic purposes. I had no problem with either site, ...unlike Prince. No I must stop.

Yes this reminds me of someone we know. Morrissey is Prince in disguise.

moz also cancelled his show last nite

i can just imagine prince wearing a "fuck tha org" t shirt and band members with the same written down sleeves and legs of their clothing. it would then end up a new quad disc concept album about hating his fans and webshites

I look forward to it. Pissed off Prince releases better music than loved-up-jehova Prince

Reminds me that there are trolls on all websites that like to post negativity and lame ass rude comments...such as this thread which is a dumbfounded attempt to link Morrisey's actions to something P has done or will do. Dumbfounded.

Ha-ha, artists really shouldn't read fan forums if they can't handle it - Dunno why they think getting on their soapbox about it is a good idea, it just makes them look petty.

Morrissey sucks as a solo artist. I like about 20% of his solo material, and I *love* none of it.

Prince isn't anything like Morrissey. I doesn't sue his fans over having his feelings hurt. He's

being cuntish over money and ideals. Morrissey's just being a big 'ol nelly queen, not that

suing your fans is justified under either motive.

What's a dumbfounded attempt?

Nope! P doesnt kick memebers of the Org out of his shows, he probably wouldnt even recognize 90% of us @ a show, I know some people like 2 think P browses the Org quite frequently, but thats just non-sense.

Plus P will kindly take our money & lets us stay. I would have fought 2 get my money back, if I was that guy, However P probably would find this article entertaining, and say Morrissey had every right 2 kick that fan out

Morrissey is a wank-hole nuff said

He is a vegetarian-I respect him for that!

Prince and Morrissey were rumored to have worked on stuff together many years ago. (before 1994).

Yep, a bit pathetic that such a big star would care so much about what some people on the internet say. Taking the time to create a t-shirt and stage a public protest against a fan site is just insane.

Petty.

This comment on that actual site was interesting...

I dont think David Tseng can be blamed for the fact that many of the fans Morrissey attracts have a lot of pent up and free-floating anger and hate. That's a reflection of Morrissey himself (or at least one side of him), not a reflection of David Tseng.

Morrissey fans can seem nice enough in person, but online they often become monsters. This was true of every Morrissey online forum that was not strictly controlled. It was true before this site existed, back in the days of Usenet. It was true back in the days of AOL message boards. This site used have a lot more nasty stuff going on back before the moderators worked hard to put the sickest and most infamous trolls in check.

For me, Morrissey has always been an idiot.

I loved The Smiths, but his solo output was I-want-but-I-can't.

Prince just makes songs about it (PFUnk).

When you put yourself out there, you open yourself up to criticism. And in a free society, especially with an anonymous forum such as the internet, you can expect some people to be nasty beyond the point of constructive criticism.

Anyone who gets their panties in a wad over it and tries to control what people can say or sues to shut them up is simply a fascist.

Least Prince don't throw his fans out for no damn reason.

I was going to say Axl Rose.... it turned out that there was a correspondence from Morrissey to Merck, who also manages GNR, and his legal team sent a letter to the webmaster saying to get the letter off or else.

Odds are, someone in Merck's camp was up to no good if it happened to be Axl and Morrissey, and stole it. Or if he's doing it to mess with them.

And on one of the GNR sites, they almost put a bunch of files, emails, etc before Axl's legal team almost shut the site down.

Axl and Morrissey have cut their shows short because of how security was dealing with their fans, and as soon as a water bottle hit them, they stopped the show and called it a night.

I just think Prince handles his fans at shows in a whole other different way. Axl had it coming to him because he created riots over his stupid tantrums years ago. People will just pay a lot of money to start taunting him. Morrissey's been known to cut shows short or not go on stage because he found out they were selling hot dogs.

It's just a matter of fansites using common sense and not putting personal correspondence in the forums. That's what Wikileaks is for. If you have legal info, send it off to someone who has lawyers that can fight back, and let them put it out. Then the fan run site can post a link to it and not have to deal with the consequences. All they'd have to do is kill the link.
