It really fucking annoys me how Wilson always insisted on calling him 'Steven', as if he's got some sort of inside knowledge of him, or because he knows he hates being called it. Wilson was always a cunt and was always just jealous because the smiths snubbed Factory.

The guy who said that their demos were produced like shit was in fact Rob Gretton.

It wasn't between Johnny and Morrissey. It was with all of them, especially Andy Rourke.

Best Morrissey documentary I have seen. If the guy is so shy, what do you expect? People that have worked with him in the industry will have their say. I have the feeling the documentary makers would have just loved Morrissey to have had his say too. Some interesting contributions across the eleven episodes. The Reilly-Street Spat is fascinating, but Nevin wins the prize though. Well done to the makers. Thanks girlafraid50!

@mattjolley yea that, in my opinion, was the worst decision factory ever mad. Every1 blames the Hacienda and the 4th Mondays album as the worst decisions they ever made, but it is undoubtedly the not signing the smiths, plus how awesome would it have been to have all the smiths albums/singles stamped with a FACT catalog #? such a shame.

@Beetlebum1992 Oh well either way Factory missed out on The Smiths and I believe that's where Wilson's mentality toward him stemmed from!

[Beetlebum1992]

what is the 1st song that plays in the background???

[Beetlebum1992]

@mattjolley The Smiths didn't snub Factory, they actually tried to get signed with them, but one of the Factory guys (I don't remember who) said that their "demos were produced like shit". So Factory snubbed the Smiths actually, which was a huge mistake on their part because they probably would have kept them from going broke. But since then Morrissey and Wilson have always had it out for each other, which I don't care about because both are influential in their own right.
