Modest Mouse is fantastic. I didn't like Good News that much but the prior albums were all ace.

Not really. Their last few albums were shite. They used to be really good, but i'm talking Fruit that Ate Itself, or that era. I think they ran out of musical ideas b/c they were never the most skilled players, especially the lead songwriter. Johnny Marr could help.

Modest Mouse need Jonny Marr

i read something a week or so ago that he was a touring member with mm

No no.Johnny Marr is uncapable of any good playing these days.And Modest Mouse are naff rubbish beyond redemption.

This is like saying a shit sandwich needs the finest artisan bread to really achieve its fullest culinary potential.

lame

Not quite as brilliant as your 12RODS diss, but quite good. B+

I was never a big Smiths fan or a Modest Mouse fan. So it doesn't bother me.

Now you die...........




Seriously though, what happened to the Healers?

Johnny Marr was excellent, is excellent. MM needs to shake things up a little bit. lets face it, they had a few ideas, a few strong records to show for it, and now it's gotta go somewhere. MArr can spice up Brock's simple ideas, give them some much needed harmonic color..somethin. That's been his bag for his career with the Smiths , P. McCartney, and the Pretenders.

When was Johnny Marr in the Pretenders?

Next we'll see Morrissey singing for Napalm Death

And Oasis collaborating with guitarists from Mayhem to give it a bit more edge.

yeah thats what i mean..

Modest Mouse is the Shit in the Sandwich
Johnny Marr is the fine bread.
