Morrissey Gig Is Cancelled - Liverpool Echo Arena - 7/11/09

[journey47]

I am glad someone on this ...forsaken site has sense and sensibility.

[journey47]

I do apologise but i was there and saw it,it was a bottle

[journey47]

@69crafty what was it? and do you agree with me? 

[journey47]

Morrissey is more than a pop-star and he expects us to be more than crazy fans, he expects us to be on the same wave-length as him morally, emotionally and psychologically. I would have done the same, i would have left too. Morrissey is up there pouring his heart out to his bet 'friends' (us) and some idiot chucks a bottle, thats like interrupting someone's suicide note to tell them that they can't spell.

[thongrrr]

@journey47 good metaphor mate and totally agree

[journey47]

He was with-in his right to leave, that idiot ruined the show for everyone, but I guess passion does strange things to people

[malad1]

Hey its me bottley!!! The worlds most famous bottler!!!!!I love Moz so much I throw bottles of water, labeled beer, at his head.

[BooNube]

Don't blame the artist, blame the twat and blame the security.

[simionTheOne]

Wow i'd go to the guy who threw the bottle & kill that sun of a bitch instantly

[PILLINGS86]

Was right to walk off initially, but the prick who threw the bottle should have been ejected and then the band should have played on.

[BooNube]

@PILLINGS86 You're right...but we all know what Morrissey's like. Not exactly thick-skinned.

[youarejessica]

being a bit of a diva cancelling. but hey, it's morrissey he can do and afford whatever the fuck he wants.

[rachisthebest0405]

typical fuckin scousers!

[20cFilmWannabe]

@rachisthebest0405 STFU manc twat

[Stakker]

If artists did this every time it shifts the responsibility to the crowd to behave. Hopefully the skaus cunt who did that was lynched by all the fans who paid good money to see Morrissey.

The bottle throwing bindipper ruined the night, not Morrissey.

[bensimps123]

CALM DOWN CALM DOWN SCOUSERS !

[sergeantfan]

Fucking hell...if that was me that threw the bottle (which it wasnt by the way) I would be SHITTING myself. Still thought Morrissey was wrong and immature to cancel the show though...man the fuck up eh? People probably spent hundreds and spent ages organising just to see this concert. I feel bad for the fans who were there to have a good night only to be spoiled by some arsehole in the crowd.

[wildcat1559]

i would have fucken smashed the bottle thrower

[gymnosophy]

Well fuck off then and fuck off commentator with your cockny accent.

[tnewton1988]

Typical scousers always blame someone else:

Its always the same it wasn't us :

Hillaborough

Heysel

Now here

fucking scummers

[jimbowker1000]

@tnewton1988 FUCKIN WANKER

[tonymontana1974]

Not saying morrissey wasnt right to walk off stage but it wasnt a bottle of beer thrown at him because you cant buy beer in bottles in arenas like that. Someone threw a cup of water and a bit of it splashed on his suit.

[JonnyInfinite]

beer my arse it was a plastic water bottle

[brighton59]

@JonnyInfinite

Who said it was beer?

[williamblakeism]

@brighton59

"Morrisey's been hit over the head with a bottle of beer"... listen to your own video...

[brighton59]

@williamblakeism , it was later proved it was a bottle of water via other video clips a lot nearer the stage than mine

[jogga16]

i would of walked off. If your at work and someone throws a bottle off beer you wouldn't keep doing your job!

[timewillprove]

Nearly 12 months on and still hurts to watch this.

[t0psecretshit]

the crowd should've beaten up whoever threw the bottle. he ruined the show

[brighton59]

@t0psecretshit

Totally agree

[sooperfukker]

Why didn't people get a refund from the person who threw the bottle ?

[kralle7611]

nice job asshole

[defonze]

im from ireland and ive been to liverpool and people from liverpool are the nicest most fun loving easy going people in all of england and they should never be painted with any brush , every city has thugs you can be sure this was just some drunkin idiot who will regret what he did forever

[fuckyounakedbluejean]

its all very well refunding the fans because of a primadonna tantrum, but are they getting their taxi fares, bus fares, merchandise costs, wasted food and beer money and their petrol back too?...

He doenst deserve such loyal fans, when he has so little respect for them.

[69crafty]

North west Morrissey fans should have more respect for him and vice versa!!!!

[timewillprove]

Respect from Liverpool? Yeh, that makes sense!

[69crafty]

@timewillprove it makes perfect sense! why wouldn`t Liverpool give him any respect?

[timewillprove]

@69crafty The proof was in the experience.

[69crafty]

@timewillprove he`s played Liverpool numerous times before and this has never happened.

[timewillprove]

@69crafty Sorry i seem to have upset you. It's just that i was there after driving for hours, just to be let down. I was dubious about the concert from the day i booked it because it was Liverpool, there seems to be a stigma attached to the place. If i'd have had a chance to go to any other place to watch Morrissey i would have taken that chance, but i didn't so that it.

[69crafty]

@timewillprove i was there too but i don`t think it has anthing to do with Liverpool, as I stated he`s played numerous times such as the year before in the Empire and the gig was fine. It`s been said a hundred times before though that the guy who threw the drink wasn`t even from Liverpool so it could of happened anywhere such as Norway where the same thing occured but the guy got chucked out and Morrissey.finally came back on.

[timewillprove]

@69crafty Yes you really are upset, sorry. Let's just say it was a horrible 6 minutes and leave it at that. But you can't deny the fact that Liverpool has a bad reputation?

[ferdinand1357]

he let the bottle thrower win

[deacmod]

what a massive twat!!!!

[marlonbarnes]

Morrissey loves himself way more than his fans, no one could possibly be more self absorbed than this old slag.

[jammyeye]

hissy fit!

[london2perth]

First time a scoussers ever thrown anything away ha ha, and they wonder why the world hates em ha ha

[englishmadman90]

what a mardy wanker

[paronoidsizo]

salak liverpool'lular ahaha

[hettdog]

he was insulted and embarrassed. that is my guess why he didn't continue. A bit of a big baby move though.

[hannahannahbabe]

11573 views bloody hell. god the things i wanted to do to whoever threw that bottle.

[veritycoxi]

fair enough it must be hardwork doing tours and being famous and have people bug you all the time. But you can't deny that he made a big fuss over nothing.? HE's so lazz.

[veritycoxi]

thumbs down . obviously hardcore morrissey fans who are just as deep as he is.

[yeahthisismyusername]

why would you let down thousands of people just for 1 dickhead? good one morrissey

[veritycoxi]

bellend i say. IF he's gonna cry over spilt water than why agree to do shows?

[PartyBoy64]

He plays music for a living. People pay to see him. The cunt should be blamed for it. When you're playing a show your their solely to play music. I've played live before its a bullshit maneuver to be hit by someone who is there to see you play music, not to get injured.

[veritycoxi]

..its water?

[letitrollscott]

did u get a refund

[brighton59]

I got mine about 4 weeks ago

[letitrollscott]

thats good Morrissey is a miserable prick i waited from 8am outside the barrowland asked him to sign a book he sed no definatley not

[69crafty]

seriously? what the fuck`s up with him being like that!? iam a big fan but he`s just getting worse!

[letitrollscott]

i did indeed i do that 4 some gigs i will never go n c morrissey again

i have met bands that r nice enuff to ask 4 a few autographs and done it hes not worth the queing up n4

[michealbarone]

He normally waves to me - i started that off at the madness concert madstock - he also waves when he sees meeeeeee at his concerts - morrissey was fantastic a true singer with a heart

[veritycoxi]

moody cunt.

[ChannonFodder]

42-45 sec.. is that her from emmerdale?

[timewillprove]

I reckon you could be right, Laurel!

[ChannonFodder]

thats her! (-: cain dingle should have been ther to sort the dickhaed with the bottle :-)

[timewillprove]

Yeh he should! One look from him and he'd have give himself up straight away.

[LupinLoverGuitarist]

*greatest moment being this charming man/half of black cloud

x

[LupinLoverGuitarist]

one of the worst moments of my life. ever.

after one of the greatest moments of my life ever.

x

[JohnnyTrotz]

now that sucks, did the people at least got their money back?

[domngel]

yea, full refunds ae being given. It just makes me sck to my stomach watching this .. how horrible. Hes canceled on me before but never had he horrific misfortune of turning up to the gig itselfall excited and being teased withone and a half songs ....

and that announcer was a bit rude and urt wasn't he!? talk about insensitivity!!!

[reballare]

he probably wanted to do it quickly before he got a brick thrown at his head.

[brighton59]

Got my refund last week.....!!!!!!

[countryfetus]

how far into the show was it?

[brighton59]

Midway through the second song, he did This Charming Man and was then hit when singing Black Cloud....!!!!

[ska2808]

lol 0:55

[newworldman123]

bottle thrown...scouser.....case rested.......

[Chazzoli]

the guy who though the bottle was from Birmingham

moron

[newworldman123]

a half empty plastic bottle of water..........oh the pain must have been SO intense.....big girils blouse.

[pauldve]

Not all the people there where from Liverpool when people go to gigs they don't just go to the nearest one. The bottle thrower could have been from anywhere.

[bobilleg74]

Haha!

[racerxjj67]

So who beat the living hell out of the wanker who threw the bottle and ruined it for everyone else?

[Altazar]

On concerts here at Balcan peninsula, we're never allowed to drink beer from glass bottles, only plastic glasses.

[brighton59]

It was a plastic bottle that hit him, not a glass one

[ashers1502]

it wasn't even a bottle, it was a plastic cup that hardly touched him

[bobbydylanio]

It doesn't matter what it was, its the principle. and nice to know you can tell what it is from the videos of it.

[DeniaTorero]

Shot my self in the foot or no, stil it`s a well known problem. And sometimes the truth hurts.

By the way, I am Norse and part English , Oslo and Birmingham.

[tbwff]

Just a thought but was/is Morrissey's management contractually obliged to pay the ticket money back to the fans?

[octadonk]

The Arena is in Liverpool. That doesn't mean it's full of scousers, or that a scouser threw the bottle. But you already know that.

[jjj13031984]

morrissey does not need to forgive stupid fucks for hittim him with bottles. he is a very important artist and does not deserve this kind of treatment. he handled the situation professionally and I totally understand him. he does not accept to be treated disrespectfully, and everybody should have this kind of self-esteem. I would not critizise him one bit for walking off, even if I had been at the concert.

regards from Germany

[DeniaTorero]

Well it is Liverpool..........??

That is no excuse, it is England. Always a problem and full of no brainers, always a problem with the English, in England and the rest of the world.

[TheREAL5m0k3y]

Rather racist remark.

[rael1999]

MMMmmmmh ... theirs quite a lot of Norse blood in our ancestry don't you think....oh apparenty no you don't Denia...shot yerself in the foot there

[azazel637]

theres only one thing i loathe more than morrissey thats his stupid fans so to see them both pissed off made my night

[TheresaRussell1]

Morrisey is an incredible baby. What a spoilt brat. His songs are about the unhappiness/unfairness of life so this is quite fitting. His fans should have been pleased to be let down in true Morrisey style fashion. They are experiencing his misery. A true fan would appreciate his walking off. It's what he's all about.

[GowbotFTW]

Liverpool isn't full of thugs, disgusting OR ugly.

You get people with no morals everywhere you go.

Even people from liverpool are disgusted with the idiot who did that so it isn't nice to judge, mate.

[octadonk]

You really are an ignoramus. To tar everyone with the same brush. Most of the people at the concert were not from Liverpool. That is a fact from the Arena's managing director. Therefore it would be logical to assume the person who threw the bottle could have possibly been from somewhere else. But it would never cross your bigots mind.

[ryantbh]

Scouse bastard

[kawkhammer]

Way to go asshole.

[DeLoused777]

I hope the idiot got forcefully sodomized.

[TheMacartney]

Don't blame Morrissey - blame the stupid person who through the bottle - who ever that person is - well done as you spoilt the evening foe everybody.

[octadonk]

You are a tit, no mistakeing it. Joydivision. Been reading the Sun again... derrrrrr

[pewagm]

Welcome to Liverpool - and goodbye.

[MichaelOCathain]

Feel sorry for the fans who travelled far to see that! Hope they lynched the bottle thrower outside!

He was right to walk off!

[planxty12]

Proper order on Morrissey's part.. Why the hell would ya throw a bottle at him.. A bit of respect for a musical legend.... Whoever throgh the bottle should have been given a few slaps..

[daathian]

who are the people trying to ignore the bottle? "it was emtpy" "it was plastic".. it doesn't matter, if someone hit me with a bottle the last thing I'd do for them is perform and act like it didnt happen. Liverpool doesn't deserve Morrissey. Hope noone gets their money back :D

[sirpsychofingz]

mannn, i would have been gutted!

[Brown198500]

when they announced it was cancelled they should have rioted, thrown more bottles/cups at the stage and trash the place...would have made the journey worthwhile...

[abujak]

don't you love rock stars! reckon the plastic bottle hit his ego a bit too hard, thought he was brought up in salford and from irish background -rock on...not! reckon it was an inside job! could set a precedent!!!!!

[willber9000]

wasent evan a bottle of beer, half full bottle of water, right at the front, been waiting since 12 in the morning

what a waste

[MrCaptainspaulding]

hahahaha one of the first things you hear is "do we get our money back" fucking av it

[wattage2007]

The end of Morrissey's touring career?

[r1ch1etheman]

pity this haha

[dirby12]

This is a good statement!

[abujak]

what a waste of beer! didn't that person know there's a recession on? mind you might have been urine

[herepooch]

its liverpool. it was urine.

[emanuela0476]

SHIT
