The Importance of Being Morrissey - part 1

[sharpskingirl]

genio!!!!!!!!! brillante! <3

[TheSharkshaw]

lol he got nailed right in the face with those flowers 6:13

[Indepeoplemusic]

OK. Bono has no fucking place speaking on Moz.

[mac899]

When he was going on stage I even felt nervous for some reason...

[Bunzypoo]

I want to see him again. I love his music so much.

[maltavmalta]

Hero worship. Hmmm..... feed the madness. Very good singer and songwriter, nevertheless.

[livingdeadgrl18]

"i smell assassination" LOL

[megasteinman]

my idol <3 ly MORRISSEY

[AxelFeelsgood]

4:02 I immidiately recognized that the man who was speaking is Greek although I didn't noticed "Athens"...bloody bad accent :P

[targetta]

I am a morrissexual forever and always!

[ThriftApocalypse]

@targetta Its funny, I always refer myself in being "Forever Morrissey Status"

[HansBooBee]

8:00 Creep.

[HansBooBee]

F*ck hero worship!

[foreverspears22]

ilove this man your the best morrissey mozz ist charmin man

[TheRealThreeP]

@surfthecentre Truer words have yet to be spoken about this jerkoff..

[TheRealCritique]

@MrsMorrissey13 do you mean CULEWER. Give me a break. Thanks for demonstrating the ole-stick-up-the-arse English illusion of superiority over a micro-detail. Go do something about your disgusting bankers, who along with ours, destroyed the world. Of course, the English prat empire taught the Americans all they know.

I don't listen to Dolly Parton much, but she's still better than Oasis, yer my wonderwaaaaaaaallllll. The English used to own music, then they lost it.

[videotitan1]

MOrrissey is Jotito.

[NoMoMedia]

6:12 Bonk! :P

[BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS]

@ProgHead93 i wish i was the apple of jk rowlings eye and her muse 

[kgraham15]

underbites have never been so attractive.

[HansBooBee]

8:02 this guy a freaking weirdo.

[HTprods]

3:19 I wish he still looked like that. He has aged like hell in 9 years.

[TofikToficTofic]

2:32 haha

[sevensixsixtwo]

Noel Gallagher proves here how clueless he really is.

[TheRealCritique]

@sevensixsixtwo it's always been apparent how clueless Oasis was from the start.

Only the middle-educated English found them worthy of worship.

Morrissey isnt half of what he was with the Smiths. No wonder pop stars get contempt over these psycho fans - GET A LIFE! My fascination with the Smiths was the music, and Morrissey's brilliant lyrics and delivery. Full stop. I could not care less about his sex life. Maybe UK men don't know how to get laid or something.

[gards2]

@sevensixsixtwo I think that's unfair, Noel is clearly making a joke here.

[xBlindFerretx]

@sevensixsixtwo You leave Noel Gallagher alone! Especially when fucking Bono is throwing words about.

[bennocelt]

fuck that, not watching this shite - j k rowlong, are you fucking serious, who esle is in this shite - bob geldof, bono...ffs

[mozartfx1]

I agree with Morrisey, Churchill should have surrendered to Hitler immediately so no one would get killed. ~ Classic ass-backwards leftist thinking.

[ThePluggedin]

@mozartfx1 I agree with Morrissey:

"Always looking for attention, always needs to be mentioned, who does he think he should be."

[earnestbunbury11]

Sometimes it's taken for granted that the 'great men' are somehow virtuous and wise, when in fact they are the opposite. Reading deeper you find that George Washington was a terrible person that history MADE a hero. Hitler offered to send the jews to Madagascar and give that to them, but Churchill turned him down, among many other things. He was a warmonger and user of men to further his ego building. He's was WWII's Dick Cheney and George Bush.

[HTprods]

@mozartfx1 That is seriously dull of you.

[thesmithsmad]

they are so luucky being the cousin and nephew to one of the indie gods

[thesmithsmad]

is that death valley in nevada?

[Catmint1971]

I don't get the leather seat bit either

[cominroitover80]

so wait, he spends most of his days berating people for consuming animal products and calling them "subhuman" yet he drives a car with LEATHER seats? what a fucking douche!

[jimhezron]

@cominroitover80 There is a Difference between VEGETARIAN and VEGAN... why dont you just shut up if you dont know what you're commenting on..

[cominroitover80]

@jimhezron you're right

Vegan-Someone who consistently follows through with their beliefs.

Vegeterian-someone who only partially follows through with their beliefs because they are a hypocritical douche nozzle. extra douche points added to those who get up on a soapbox and tell others not to consume "murder" when they themselves utilize animal products.

[jimhezron]

@cominroitover80 Thanks for reminding me of being right!! Woooo!. now I have to say that you are Your own definition of a vegetarian... still assuming and commenting on something you dont know much of. Maybe you should look in the mirror and recognize

[cominroitover80]

@jimhezron but im not a vegetarian, or a vegan. i just dont like hypocrites.

[italiaholic]

Bono is such a jerkoff.

[BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS]

the importance of being morrissey: morsiey riding on a vespa

[BOKNOWSCOMPUTERS]

put morseiy and jk rowling and the person that wrote the script for this documentary in a building and then set the building on fire.

[catcherinthesky1]

only just noticed he is standing with the libertines at 4.19

[Soundgardener80]

Whatever shit ppl say about him he seems to treat fans really well and that says a lot

[moz85214]

Have this on DVD. I remember flying from Phoenix, AZ to Athens in 2002 just to see the last 2 shows of this no name - no record deal tour y they were filming...too bad they didn't film the gig but after the show my comments didn't make the cut but the dude (Argyris) they interviewed in Athens did y we went to a bar afterwards to celebrate. The part M on the Vespa was actually M riding around the streets of Athens. I can't wait to see M again in Phoenix Nov 20, 2011. Viva Morrissey!!!

[stefano11223]

to say that to identify and feel close and admire and feel resonance with another man is inately homoerotic is ridiculous. the conclusion is to say any affection deep or otherwise for someone is inately sexual. nonsense. if for some ppl it is then who cares??? for them it is. but to say because i love anutha man means i want to have sex with him??? absolute rubbish. such a simplification.

[alexanduhDanziggg]

I love the fact that my fav childhood author loves my favorite teenage/adulthood lyricist

[MrLarryV]

Morrissey has so much class and style.

[Smallville357]

simplify everything in your life and everything comes simply :) hes a fine example of this....

[PrisonBreakFilms]

5:01 "And if a double decker buuuus......."

[smilelikeUmeanit90]

LOL the guys jumping on him are sick in the head....??

[babyrhi8]

@smilelikeUmeanit90 why are they sick in the head?

[smilelikeUmeanit90]

@babyrhi8 well the attitude of those adult guys draging morrisey...you wont tell me this is normal.

[Useless2112]

5:05 Is Martin Kemp guarding Morrissey's door?

[jirdimaster]

Song at 2:07, what is it?

[fpg66]

i think you either hate or love morrissey. he has kind of a special voice, doesnt he? but I think morrissey is just a little full of himself.

[mojopin70]

@fpg66 thats because the guy is shy , and awkward being negative about things is his way of coping

[fpg66]

@mojopin70 I like Morrissey just fine but that doesnt mean I believe he has no negative sides at all. hes just human like the rest of us. so full of flaws in other words. its never a good idea to blindly worship a person. I think even Morrissey would agree with that. by the way, im not trying to pick a fight with you, so please dont bother sending any childish "angry" comments back at me. Im just explaining myself, thats all.

[mojopin70]

@fpg66 i dont worship anyone , strange comment.

[fpg66]

@mojopin70 not a "strange" comment at all, because it just looked like you do kind of worship him. but thats something alot of morrissey fans for some reason do. morrissey is not shy at all, believe me. watch interviews with the guy and youll see what I mean.

[mojopin70]

@fpg66 it is strange because i dont worship anyone ( as ive already said) since you continue to write to me ill reply, im talking from an observational point , it appears that you dont understand people at all.

[Pauly183]

Morrissey said i this video about winsten churchill "how many men did he send to their deaths"?

OMG.... If it wasn't for these 'men' morrissey would probably be speaking german right now and live in a nazi country...!

[TheBarpster]

Noel Gallagher's comment is the best. CLASS

[BooNube]

Bono looks fucking bizarre here.

[BooNube]

I don't worship him as a genius or as a witty, moral or just individual. I respect and admire him as a terrific artist who could never stand to be normal and so turned himself into something extraordinary.

[hilbilly87]

Thank you so much for uploading this. I've been a devoted fan of Morrissey and The Smiths since I was 11 years old. I'm now 24 and still listening every day. This is the only documentary I have seen that really shows Morrissey truly as he is today (or a decade ago at least!). Im watching again!

[xgreenymeex]

OMG this is brilliant! ive never seen this before!?

[Jordie0405]

I mean he's pretty cool, but I don't really get what the fuss is about if I'm honest.

[revol148]

don't you just love the roar of the crowd when he comes on stage at the Royal Albert hall - all that love and devotion!

[babydub77]

women are in love with him 2 bitch!

to say that morrissey speaks only to the homosexual man....knob head...he speaks to everyone and sexuality has no bearing it's intelligence!

[babydub77]

women are in love with him 2 bitch!

[ChrisssThomas]

i honestly cant believe the two top rated comments are about bono and not about what a fucking genius morrissey is. GET OVER IT BONO WAS IN IT FOR 10 SECONDS GROW A PAIR OF NUTS AND STOP CRYING ABOUT IT

[aristurtle1]

@ChrisssThomas Its just annoying that he pops up in every documentary that deals with musicians much greater than himself, when he is really not qualified to talk about anything outside of the commercial music spectrum. He should be talking in documentaries on Nicklebacks money making strategies or Lady Gaga's marketability, not documentaries on punk, Joy Division, John Coltrane and The Smiths....

oh and by the way, my comment got more thumbs up, so hahahaha!

[IStehSHIT]

it begins wit "true original" so american, so cheesy. so shallow>_<

[kosovirkka]

why j.k. rowling?

[atotalblamblam]

@kosovirkka why not? are we as Morrissey fans somehow better than her?

[kosovirkka]

@atotalblamblam I thought this was a documentary about the life of morrissey, not about his fans,I expected people who know him personally to be interviewed. I suppose bono and the the pretenders singer might know him from the music scene. I also understand there are other artists in this video, who seem to create art similiar to morrisseys..but jk rowling...she wrote harry potter!

[hotchip1]

Whats the name of the song 3.40?

[djcorduroy]

@hotchip1 It's Suedehead. Find it on Bona Drag!

[TheNadster2]

Morrissey's cool and all but he gets too much credit for the smiths, if he wasn't singing over Marr's guitar lines it would mean much less to the world, even Andy and Mike were pretty important

[TheNadster2]

I think Bono has the right to give his opinion, afterall whatever people could find annoying in Bono is pretty much there in Morrissey...don't kill me :)

[yaladystardust]

@TheNadster2 I'LL KILL YOU

[cubate]

loved loved this doc! viva moz!

[koukidis]

GET OUT bono

[dressthesenseless]

I would literally cry if I was one of those kids that got to hug him or kiss him.

[83ishgirl]

Morrissey is living like a boss. He is boss!!! :)

[blacknbiancobooks]

i'm not expert but does anyone of you know which song at 6:18?

[Certex]

@blacknbiancobooks It's called Suedehead, and was the first single from his first post-Smiths solo album in 1988, Viva Hate. Fine Song. Should be easy to find the video here on Yotube, guaranteed.

[djcorduroy]

@blacknbiancobooks It's suedehead as well! Cheers.

[1Marisol]

@blacknbiancobooks The song is Suedehead  /watch?v=0AvuweztG4Q&ob=av3n

[doorsfan4ourever]

What a great documentary!

[timewillprove]

I don't approve of Morrisseys expression at 2.34.

[dancupid]

Where is he driving his right hand drive Jag? It's not England, but he's driving it on the left.

[NSAHAI1]

3:57

well i completely agree morrissey 200 times better than bono

and twice as good as liam

which means liam is 100 times better than bono!!

bono suck balls!!

u2 suxx!!

the smiths and oasis rule!!

[oldnuwaver]

Heterosexual men like Morrissey because of latent homosexuality?Not a fucking chance,as far as I and probably most heterosexual men are concerned.I dig Morrissey because of his lyrical brilliance,his I dont give a fuck what you think attitude,and his outsider/loner/maverick "made a shitload of money" status.The one thing I dont like about him are his obvious faggot inclinations.,and his occasional asshole comments like "How many people did Churchill send to their deaths?WTF

[CabbageAndMash]

He can afford any scooter and he buys a new plastic Vespa??

[69crafty]

"how many countless people did he send to their days?" what the fuck did he want Church Hill to do , let the Nazi`s win!?

[Riiye]

3.55 could this girl be chewing in a more revolting fashion?

[jaycr2006]

My english is getting better, i was able to understand Noel Gallagher.

[19babyjack55]

Gotta love all these NOBODY commenters (on-video, and here).

[wooders1000]

Notice how the pub that Will Self is sitting in, has suddenly emptied out.

[TheInundation]

I love how he shrugs off the flower hitting him in the head, he understands

[lucaslmgv]

People are crazy. lol

I wouldn't jump on stage like that even if it was John Lennon.

[aristurtle1]

@lucaslmgv Oh and clearly you have not really paid attention to Morrissey's lyrics. He is not the same as John Lennon. I think what has happened here is that you have stumbled onto this documentary becuse you have heard a smiths song or two within your general interest of music without fully understanding what the smiths were all about and what their music means to people.

[lucaslmgv]

@aristurtle1

I have all their albuns. I love the smiths, but being obcessed like these people is insane.

I can relate to most of his lyrics, yes.

I appreciate and respect his work, yes.

But I don't worship him.

[aristurtle1]

@lucaslmgv I agree about the crazy fans (for all celebrities) but in the grand scheme of things I still think that Bono and his shitty pop band should go away or at least not discuss other musicians who are much better than themselves.

[lucaslmgv]

@aristurtle1

I'm not saying anything about bono. But, really, what's wrong with him giving his opinion?

[cloudydaiz123]

whats the song of the music video being shown with him wearing the black top at 0:48?

[louiscfc93]

i knew noel would say "he doesnt even know" he said the same kind of thing about johnny marr and guitar

[masqeradediva]

i am confused as to what bono said to generate so much hate

[LukeRoby1994]

wts the song at 1 min 6

[avoidingstudy]

part 8 please...... it's horrible not seeing the end

[bensimps123]

hate the way the irish try to claim him as irish

[solimiansky]

Moz always the gentleman

[Kyrano]

noel gallagher - plank

[aristurtle1]

Why is it that it seems that in any documentry on the important bands of the 80's Bono manages to pop in and give his 2 cents? Why doesnt he leave his overblown ego on his enormous, space age spider stage?

[lucaslmgv]

@aristurtle1

lol

You're watching a video about Morrissey and saying Bono's ego is enourmous?

You GOT to be delusional.

[aristurtle1]

@lucaslmgv Maby, but at least we can say that Morrissey is putting out some good meaningful music and not just yelling "yeah yeah yeah" in sunglasses.

[lucaslmgv]

@aristurtle1

Makes sense.

[XXxsineadosxXX]

@aristurtle1 why do you hate bono, out of curosity?

[aristurtle1]

@XXxsineadosxXX I dislike Bono because to me he represents the hypocrisy of the modern world. Heres a guy that has basically made himself the poster boy for celebrity charity, yet U2 rolls through every city with an enormous army of trucks spewing pollution out into the atmosphere in order to set up their giant spider stage. I bet you that if you added up the money spend on all their absurd stages you could feed most of Africa. The charity and everything he does is all to inflate his ego.

[XXxsineadosxXX]

@aristurtle1 thank you for answering.

alot of people have said to me its because hes irish. even irish people hate his guts, i was hoping it wasn't the case.

[aristurtle1]

@XXxsineadosxXX oh no! If I didnt like rich or irish people, that would probably exclude allot of my heros. I actually think that most of the British musicians probably have irish blood in them.

[buddhaboy1972]

@aristurtle1 So true, 360degree stage was bit too much. Viva Hate U2!

[Jimmmeeehhh]

@buddhaboy1972 typical. People who call themselves Morrissey fans for hating the 'mainstream' of everything, when are people going to grow some balls and stop hating Bono and U2. Its easier to hate them than like them, but Morrissey and Bono are similar you know.

[buddhaboy1972]

@Jimmmeeehhh With exception that Morrissey and The Smiths haves better songs than U2 :P

[defaultuser404]

@aristurtle1 i totally agree! how can he possibly know or have stories about everyone that only relate to U2 and end up being anecdotes about U2 and not who the documentary is about at all!

[danspivey91]

@aristurtle1 because bono is the most well known contemporary of 80's guitar bands. to be honest it would be more surprising if he wasn't there.

[stoob1969]

@aristurtle1 I don't mind that, but wearing darkned glasses in a darkend room is a bit much.

[Anthoonyf]

noel gallagher is a joke

[brutaltiger]

CK Rawlings is giggling twit, ever bloody music doco interviews bono for his boring opinions wtf for??

[bombsoverwonderland]

I AM DISSAPPOINT 2 C HIM DRIVING A FLASH CAR... :<

[xLaLOx805]

"nobody knows..you dont know, i dont know.....i say hes mother knows."

[rigs345]

ha the libertines at 4.17

[imsohappy]

Fuck you, Bono.

[HansBooBee]

@imsohappy Yeah, Bono's a total wanker. Bono: the little do-boy for the international bankers.

[Smallville357]

@imsohappy

fuck you! bonos king. morriseys an emperor....brandon flowers is god...and then god is the creator of all these things!

[benisdown]

[markoj34]

He's got a story to tell alright.

[oldloafandyoung]

TheJag has leather seats and stearing wheel does it ??????

[samuelnicholashain]

I would love to get hold of a high quality version like this. Would you be so kind as to help me too?

[skint0n0minted]

Bono and liam gallagher are shit - Morrissey rules!

[Monterey2am]

@skint0n0minted says the invisible man - out pours the wisdom of a fool.

[skint0n0minted]

@Monterey2am sorry for having an opinon.....

[mozalicious]

Like button? Really? More like, LOVE instead!

[mmyyppaarrttyy]

I love how down to earth alain is

[loknloll]

....and i know gallagher thinks he's making sense, but he's not...

[loknloll]

i'm sure he was having the bust of churchill felate him, just slightly off camera...

[northbanksy]

Alan Bennett wants you Morrissey, watch out or embrace...

[alistairproductions]

I accept Bono as a legitimate rock star but for some reason I just can't stand the guy.

[mikeysm21]

Boner or Bonk-on or whatever the fuck his name is can go stick his views up his arsehole.

[Stairwaytoheaven06]

wowwwwwwwwwwww so good !

[MrStonecold69]

make BONO history

LOL

[MrStonecold69]

[Angel8795]

No Bono just no...go away

[PhilipPorter]

If it didn`t say Kathy Burke i`d swear that was Andy Rourke! ;-)

[GlitchMorte]

this is amazing! thank you for uploading, i wish i could own this. :)

[JohnnyLaRue86]

Great doc. We're soooo blessed to be living at a time where an amazing artist like Morrissey is still around writing and performing. This is a very special thing indeed and an artist of his importance should not be taken for granted. Good contributions by ALL of the talking heads here. Here's hoping the Mozzer is around until he's a hundred.

[RideMyBMW]

min 1:44 Oh sh%$! WTF happened to Bono! He looks like a balding wino...

[SyringeKid]

finished? ON TO PART 2 EVERYONE!
