"The Smiths are never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever going to reunite – ever," - Morrissey ok...why not?? I hate these fucking group/people who make these type of statements...like really...your solo career is going so great???

For anyone who asks, the above statement was in reference to this news article:
Morrissey Says Coachella Offered to Go Meatless for Smiths Reunion
October 1 2012, 3:14 PM ET by Nicole Sia
Where's the beef? Not in Indio (almost).
Protector of syncopal old ladies and defenseless creatures everywhere, Morrissey tells Australia's Herald Sun that Coachella once offered to nix all meat from its 2010 festival in order to get him and the Smiths' guitarist Johnny Marr to reunite onstage: "...interestingly the agents for Coachella offered a 100-percent vegetarian event for the following year if I would agree to headline with Johnny Marr as the Smiths." Moz then added, "Fascinatingly they made it clear that they would 'not require' the Smiths' bass player or drummer...which I thought certainly said something."
Morrissey, a vegetarian since age 11, famously criticized the California summer fest in 2009, when he commented that he could smell "burning flesh" as he performed and that he “hoped to God it was human.”
He, of course, didn't take the (veggie) bait back then, but (ridiculous and uncredible as always) rumors abound that the band will reform in some iteration next year for three or four U.K. dates, including Glastonbury. Those, too, are false, with Morrissey's publicist quoting the ever-poignant Taylor Swift to Rolling Stone: "The Smiths are never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever going to reunite — ever." Marr's people also weighed in in the negative to NME: "It isn't happening. We are fully focused on preparing Johnny's new album for release and booking shows for 2013."

I'm all for making a list of bands that will never reunite, but I won't get angry over it and call them names. They have their reasons and I respect them. | |

Didn't they reunite for a gig just a few years ago? | |

ummm yes.... I think its shady because in short of being dead...it is an insult to people who put these people in the financial situation they are in...and really...would really want to hear a new robert plant album or Led Zep classic??? | |

ABBA is one of those groups that will never reuinte. They were offered a billion dollars to go on tour back in 2000 and they turned it down. | |

I'm surprised anyone cares about the Smiths at this point. | |

They came so close in 2005. | |

Seems like most of these groups got together because someone either in some artist's management or the member themselves put them together so they're not gonna be real close so it's easy to see many of those type of groups turning down offers to reunite. | |

Fans of any band are always delusional i think when it comes to reunions... and i think sometimes...
Fans don't respect that shit went down & sometimes it's just impossible. When you have bands like The Smiths & GNR where members hate each other... for years it is done.
I mean Morrissey even telling people not to buy the albums cause all the money goes to the drummer is just

It's amazing even those who DO know the back story STILL want the reunions for their own selfish reasons. | |

Okay, but isn't this thread about reunion gigs? | |

I think that 90% of all Smith fans know there will never be a reunion and got over it decades ago. The Most Important Thing In Life Is Sincerity....Once You Can Fake That, You Can Fake Anything. |

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton | |

According to Mary Wilson, she and Cindy Birdsong haven't gotten along in years and Mary hinted that she and Cindy were actually beefing when they reunited with Kelly Rowland on Motown 45... | |

Speaking of Cindy, I don't think the Bluebelles are reuniting either, although the Labelle lineup released an album a few years ago.

It doesn't look like The Fugees will be reuniting anytime soon, for obvious reasons! It's gone way beyond the music with these people. | |
