For Madmen Only:... seering, breathtaking maturity!!!
For Madmen Only 😂😂😂😂
Got 'em 😳
Oooh, so edgy. Almost as edgy as Morrissey.
The fucking cancelled show happened in my city. I recognize that goddamn venue
"has strong opinions about Margaret thatcher"
Who doesn't
yo moka
@Searlaigh Daily so he's a hypocrite then ?!
I’m not even born around the eighties and I have strong opinions about thatcher I mean most people who wasn’t born around in the forty’s have strong opinions on hitler
@Searlaigh Daily give me a source that shows that morrissey hates immigrants
Even southpark, they even made morrisey's rival robert smith kill her
this is so funny, i don’t like him but just imagine watchmojo making a top ten list of your worst moments? fucjing hilarious. life goals
The difference being, you don't have a platform and influence thousands.
@@Ragnarokr Oh well in that case go make a top 10 worst things the democratic party has done.. i.e slavery, voted to indoctrinate kids, and voted for anti-choice authoritarian mandates across America... oh wait you won't, because like most crybaby leftwingers, they sit and whine on twitter all day.
me too 👨🏻❤️💋👨🏻
Respectfully I agree with the number one reason
How bad do you want to be a star
And as K Spacy what was that kid doing in a gay bar ?
this
"Performing before a skinhead audience" is a big stretch. He was the support act at the Madness reunion concert at Finsbury Park, London in 1992. I was there. It was wasn't a "skinhead audience". Yes, a number of Madness fans are traditional skinheads i.e. skinheads that are into reggae and ska, not the racist sort. A large part of the audience hated Morrissey (he just wasn't the right act for that gig) and hurled stuff at him. He wasn't able to finish is set and walked off stage after being hit in the face with a full carton of orange juice.
hahahaha i wish i was there to help the audience!!
I would have hurled a large piece of stake.
@@punkinmyvitamins1 brutal 😂
@@punkinmyvitamins1 steak***
Couldn’t take the acidity I guess
I love the fact that it's seen as extremely controversial to insult Robert Smith
I think it's the feud they have
Robert Smith is a cool dude tho
It is
yeah thats because he’s an amazing person
Its bc robert is precious🖤🖤🖤
"Still refuses to apologise." Maybe he's not sorry?
Still waiting for WatchMojo to apologize for appalling video.
that makes it an even worse piece of shit then lol
He's not wrong though is he?
Saying "you can't help but think the chinese are a subspecies" isn't wrong to you?
That's pretty sad
It's chinesers, not chineses.
"I hope to God it's human!" that's hilarious 😂
Plot twist: it was
Yep
Does this define Morrisey as acerbically witty? I'm think it does.
Yeah that wasnt nearly that bad. He has a point about animal rights and then flips it on its head by telling people "Youd eat an animal, but arent we animals either?" Hes trying to shock people and it works.
There are serious criminals and then theres Morrisey who “insulted not one, but two music genres”
did you not see the justification he gave for hating reggae???
@@m0zz4re11a1 Hmm, unlike the reasons blacks, browns etc hate County or Classical music? Once again, double standards.
@@v-town1980 his reasoning was still off.
How dare he have his own opinion on music 😮
@@v-town1980i havent seen a singular person of color say they dislike country or classical music for the same reason moz gave for disliking reggae 😭😭😭
The funniest thing I've seen about Morrissey was a screen cap of an interview with Robert Smith. He said "I remember running into him at a Halloween party or something. I went to punch him in the arm and he just closes his eyes and starts crying." Don't know if it's real, but heck is it funny
Ha ha
😣😂🤣
"It's so easy to laugh, it's so easy to hate. It takes guts to be gentle and kind."
Sounds like Morrissey doesn’t have guts
More like it takes guts to be yourself. Morrisey has a lot of guts.
@@authenticdarkness4933 don’t change the lyrics to fit your bootlicking agenda
practice what you preach
@@sajid7363 nice gybe pfp
Having an opinion is one thing, but defending sexual predators & being outright racist is quite another.
@FemboyGandhi lol yeah I guess supporting a far-right party that wants to end immigration for 5 years and calling Chinese people a subspecies isn't racist and saying victims of Harvey Weinstein are merely disappointed isn't rape apologia
@FemboyGandhi istg dude ur so full of urself its cringey
@FemboyGandhi holy shit man. I will bet my left nut you watch Ben Shapiro
@FemboyGandhi he quite clearly said that the Chinese were a subspecies lmao. Regardless of his intention it was still racist
It was a misquote and Morrissey refuses to do print media interviews ever since
“He even had a Union Jack on stage!!” Oh the horror!
I know, so what!
Be proud of your nation and what previous generations did for THEIR children. THEIR being the operative word.
What a charming man.
eeeyyy
Ayy smart 😂
Love what you did there 👌🏻😂😂
Sarcasm, hopefully.
I pat you on the back
I love The Smiths, but how can you hate on Robert Smith? He’s a sweetheart!
Robert Smith would say the exact same thing about Moz and neither of them would care. They come from a time when it was OK to speak your mind and have different opinions. Not like the snowflakes of today
This is the biggest part that bothered me lol
Great story I read somewhere recently: Robert Smith once punched Morrisey not that hard on the arm at party and he just started crying. I hope its true that would be to fucking funny
Trips he covered Love Will Tear Us Apart Again tho
@@natethebluesman His covers are an insult to Joy Division though
Whether you agree with him or not Morrissey is a hell of a singer.
I listen to the smiths all the time but he’s not really that great of a signer
@@archington1851oh he really is
@@fesetro3392 I like their music but I disagree he’s got no range
i think hes a cool guy personally, maybe he looks like a dick sometimes, but i like watching old interviews with him. hes a relatable guy personally
k but read the room
Soo I always feel bad when I laugh at the "when will you die" but you don't expect someone to be so direct, its shocking.
Yeah, but his music is really good.
‘I was looking for a job and then I found a job’ is one of my favourite lyrics
It really isn't. The Smiths' music was great but his solo work hasn't been as good.
@@harry793 Which is funny because I've always liked, "I've never had a job because I never wanted one...". Stay miserable, bruh. lol
W Ever You haven’t heard “We‘ll let you know” have u
They’d like to understand that. Unfortunately, this made them seem just like one of those scandal-digging tabloids.
I shouldn't watch this, The Smiths help me get through life.
Cyler Sala same here
William Hill he’s been openly racist though? The vegan stuff is 100% fine but the racist things he’s said shouldn’t be ignored. This is coming from someone who thinks the man is a musical gift...
JPEG is Bald lol “he’s never said anything remotely racist” are you joking?
“Don’t really think, for instance, black people and white people will ever really get on or like each other”-morr
JPEG is Bald lol “England is a memory now. The gates are flooded.” In language reminiscent of Goebbels, he moans on “…travel to England and you have no idea where you are”.-morr from an interview he did
JPEG is Bald lol he also claimed all acid attacks in the UK are done by “non whites” and has countless times claimed that black artist in America are less then him and the music they make is animal like.... he also openly hates reggae because it’s “black supremacy”???
The fact that people can literally hear him call reggae music “a glorification of black supremacy” and claim he’s a fine, upstanding, not racist person makes every bit of hope I have left for humanity evade me
Based
He is confused sending mixed messages, a militant vegan who detests people, countries & whole races because they eat meat.
I think some people have an easier time separating the art from the artist. I don’t have to like his politics or views to enjoy his music. I’ve never burnt down a church but I’ll play some Burzum.
@syn_gypsy i’m so glad you guys are here. these comments are terrifying
Haha cry more
“Complete with a Union Jack on stage.” Wow how controversial he had a flag of the nation he is from on stage.
I guess you are blind to the “in front of skinheads” part.
Imagine, say, a rock band from America plays with an American flag on stage. Gross, yeah, but otherwise fine. Now say they're playing in front of an audience of Proud Boys with an American flag. See the difference? Coupled with the rest of his, and this is charitable, racially insensitive comments, one can see how this may be concerning. And this is from a HUGE The Smiths fan
@@duanekogut757 having an american flag is gross. The brainwashing has really worked well
@@vgmilo American Flag patterned undies are cool tho
@@guyfromthe80s92 so your calling all skinheads racists... skins love reggae , two tone and ska music sooo racist
As much as I hate this guy's attitude, I still love what The Smiths (as an entire band) put out.
sometimes ya just gotta separate art from artist.
Tre Mo Hate people having their own free minds that don't need to virtue signal us into oblivion like you do.
kaname mikansei not in the case of Morissey though. The smith's lyrics isn't for snowflakes Even if the guitarist is a dick
And what they've done to music
On the contrary, Smith's lyrics IS for snowflakes. Morrissey is the ultimate snowflake.
"The guitarist" is Johnny Marr. He's what made the Smiths, not Morrissey. Morrissey can't even write a full song. Just compare the musical output of Johnny Marr vs Morrissey post Smiths.
Guess you could say, heaven knows he's miserable now.
LMFAOO
Boooooooo.
😐
No, only libs and minorities are now. They don't get their way EVERY time. Lol.
when is he happy? he always seems bitter and miserable.🙄
i hate Morrissey with a burning passion but only as a person. Hes a brilliant song writer and singer and knows how to make good music especially during The Smiths era. i don’t care how bad a person is, if the music is good i won’t stop listening to it
@Joe Bloggs meat eater
@Joe Bloggs ok? so what it tastes good im not gonna change who i am based on some old books
@@joerandl9252 And you are right to do so. But consider animal welfare too. If you have to eat meat, only eat met from animals that have been treated well during their short lifes. And try not eating meat 2 or 3 days a week.
@@JohnJB-et1cw right dont be a gluttonous pig. lol this is why we are moving slow. we are still infants parading as otherwise. can't even control ourselves. we should master self. then we can get better collectively. consumption and entitlement is a big issue.
I wish more people were like you man, it's absolutely okay to dislike a person in a band while loving their music
Do you think that Morrisey is the male vegan teacher? 😂
nah the way this was right under our noses the whole time-
He’s a better troll than she’ll ever be
He actually has talent
That Vegan Teacher is a decent human being--people who pay to have young animals killed are not....
Yet Morrisey and That Vegan Teacher both wish death on Non-Vegan. They both are horrible people.
Many celebs have done far worse than this guy has ever done and yet nobody ever moans about that.
I'm a huge Smiths/Morrissey fan, the reason why this is a video is that he is NOTORIOUS for making these types of statements and being militant in his beliefs. You are correct that many celebs have done worse, but Morrissey is famous for these types of controversies.
paul morris I agree that he is notorious for it. Yet so is Kanye West. I am glad to hear your a big fan of his music. I am too. I know he himself was a bit of a douche though.
The media is moaning about him simply because he spoke out against immigration and Halal. It is our duty to resist this leftist indoctrination at every corner.
Stephen Essex Leftist indoctrination??!😂
I know watchmojo viewers struggle with what they see as long words.
oh god, he doesnt like rave music. what a horrible person :D
The rave scene is cancer.
Wouldn’t call it music just noise
that is the part you should focusing on lmao, its the racism for me
ariel calvert He’s not racist he’s just making an astute observation.
aidan pee He said “They seem to me to be almost subhuman” you’re putting words in his mouth. Also the context matters, and he took it back later.
Imagine having dishonourable mentions for top 10 worst things said and done 💀
most of those are just people not understanding his sense of humor
He once cancelled a concert in Germany after he learned that the venue he was set to perform in, used to be a slaughterhouse. He did so mere minutes before the concert was set to begin.
emm..would YOU make a big party in Auschwitz or Dachau?
Because you can totally compare them...unlike Auschwitz or Dachau the aforementioned place (that USED to be a slaughterhouse 150 years ago) is actually redoecorated to be a concert venue...
You only see this issue from YOUR opinion, not HIS. If we decorate a KZ as a concert (or party or anything else joyful), would you celebrate there? That's how he feels, one has to respect that.
th-cam.com/video/gNV26q89zYg/w-d-xo.html
Because you totally cant compare slaughter. If it's slaughter of animals it doesnt matter as much as the slaughter of humans (who are also animals). You have to try hard to be that stupid
HE PERFORMED WITH A UNION JACK ON STAGE! How dare he support his country.
@alright So you're saying that the Union Jack represents racists? That's just calling all British people racist, bit hypocritical no?
@alright try living your life without that toxic term and see what happens
@alright If there's one Nazi in the crowd Everyone in the crowd is a Nazi (Modern Leftist "thinking")
This was just before the age of Britpop, so flaunting Britishness wasn’t really the “in thing” at that stage for UK singers
Moz is half Irish, so Irish people will take offence to the British colonizer flag. Also Moz doesn't give a hoot about UK. He's been living in L.A. for 18 years.
legend has it the list is still going on
as it likely is going on for you and I in our own lives. Who doesn't say or do regrettable things?
Even if he has some interesting opinions, that doesn’t change that he’s a great musician.
He just hates everybody. lmao
Not animals.
Henry Bishop When did politics have a matter on either hating or not hating those with autism lmao
@Henry Bishop He isn't really left wing then
He likes Bum boys
Exactly.
Jesus, it's so hard these days to find any media that doesn't sound/read/look like it's addressing five-year-olds.
My five year old takes offence, sir. She quite enjoys being spoken to as a five year old! It's an improvement after being spoken to as a four year old for an entire year.
Thank you Quentin Crisp for saying what I feel about modern media. It filters out info needlessly in an effort so that every mentally challenged kid understands
Agreed.
Concurred entirely. A kindergarten-level moralisation based on political correctness. Pathetic rubbish.
That's because it's all propaganda aimed at the lowest common denominator.

I mean a fucking large part of it was about getting jobs back to ‘English’ people and telling all the foreigners to fuck off so I guess that’s not bad?
Morrissey. The original Edge Lord.
Mike B hahahah it's so true an I love him for it
Exactly what I was thinking. He pisses off everybody. The only people he doesn't piss off is other edgelords who get off on pissing off everybody else.
Are you white male? Because otherwise he might hate you.
Sag Bobinowski Actually Sag, he holds working class females in higher regard. Regardless of race.
Mike B You probably don't even listen to the smiths, just a headline reader.
"A Union Jack on stage". Oh no, what a racist
Darren Jones I think it was the skinhead audience more so
Izzy S Because of their hairstyle (or is it headstyle?) or because you think the freedom of association of white people is racist in itself?
@@PaulA-ys3yr Because of the assumption that headskins are racist, or at least extremely nationalist (which is mostly true). Then we must debate 'nationalism' for some time.

Levi Mobbs I guess nature will never make a man of him yet.
How can supporting brexit be one of the worst things he has ever done?
Harry Burrows he’s said way more fucked up things than that lmao
dani cali literally the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read
dani cali omg you're wrong on so many levels it would take me too long to list. For the record I voted remain but Leavers are mostly not racists. I know many.
Funny you say that, since everybody I've asked why they voted to leave said it was to "kick the f***ing polish out". I need to double check that, but as far as I know Poland is in the EU
It's not. Supporting Brexit is just very misguided , and a bit rich coming from someone who relocated to LA years ago and is unlikely to feel the full effect if our economy is screwed as a result. But no, he has said far more offensive things .
I don't care I'm Hispanic and I think he is fantastic as a singer even if he's opinionated
I’m Latina too .. hope he’s not racist towards us either lol 😂 enjoy his music very much 💕
@@haydeehayes4493 that's great ! Hi mija
i’m hispanic too ahha
Considering he filmed a
Live concert In Hollywood, Los Angeles being full of Moz fans ,not likely but ...ya never know you know? Lol
I’m Asian and I think the same but I don’t support his toxic veganism
I didn't find it to be offensive. He's got his opinions and is within his rights to have them. Coming from a Black man in the United States.
This is so poorly done, not that I'm surprised.
Gasp! He performed with a ... a ... a Union Flag on stage!!! The Fascist!!!! /sarc
God forbid that he loves his country, and is a nationalist.

@@zivkovicable No, it takes no balls to support child abuse. Pro-abortion and pro-trans children are mainline, totally risk-free positions to take. The only risk is in publicly disagreeing with them.
"The 10 Times Morrissey Didn't Parrot The Things All The Other Celebrities Say And Thought For Himself"
You're really going to dismiss some of his problematic statements about keeping his nation "pure" of immigrants as him just being a contrarian? Dude, it's ok to condemn some of the things someone says while still enjoying their music.
@@Pavan-jn8ed Anyone who uses the word "problematic" should be condemned.

@@marcusfairweather9432 He said it's hard not to think the Chinese are a sub species. That's different to what you think he said. He has a point though. In China animals are treated horribly and it can be easy to think there is something wrong with them, when considering how they get on- obviously that's not the case. It's just their culture. I'm pretty sure hundreds of thousands of animals trapped in tiny pens and mistreated is about equivalent to a few dozen people being murdered. Stop buying outrage from the merchants and think for a minute.
@@etmuir P.S. wouldn't that make America just as bad as China? The Americas, and Japan, for that matter, treat/kill animals just as poorly as the Chinese do, and on the same scale, if not larger. So, your argument here is highly flawed. Look at the endless cruelty towards both animal and human and for the last 1,000 years in the Middle East, Africa, South America, the US, Japan, France, and Spain... nothing sub-human or even special about the Chinese as they are the same as everybody else -- it would be racist to hold such a belief, such a deeply false belief.
@@TheClassicWorld Well, USA is racist agains Japan
Any implication that another racial group are a "sub-species" isn't just racism, it's textbook Nazi eugenicism.
What is true about electronic music? Electronic music at first was made by high intellectual signal processing engineers, how is that dumb? Maybe he is ignorant and dumb, and you think what he said is true, maybe you are ignorant and dumb too, that is the truth...
Also, he can say whatever he wants, but he must accept that people will think he is stupid and a jerk, nobody is prohibiting him of talking, what is your point? Yet i have not find a single comment prohibiting him to talk...
He said WatchMojo was running out of ideas...
Weird Guy They are.
Think we'd all forgive him if he said that
Weird Guy he's right about every thing
Yeah, but this needed to be made. Because the Moz, has always sucked.
Morrisey is the most based, red pilled musician in existence
You should be on a list somewhere
So you're not saying Morrissey is biased; you're saying "Morrisey" is based. Who? Based on what?
Not sure you can be red pilled and a vegan.
I'm vegan, and as a pacifist I love Morrissey's advocacy against violence to animals none of us would be able to kill if we were standing in the slaughterhouse. However. I think this video is a good example to show that vegans aren't all that. It's not because one is against speciesism, that one is also against racism or sexism. So for the few "I'm better than you because I stand up for the voiceless"-vegans out there, maybe try a different method of informing people on speciesism.
didnt read lol
@@austinshearmen9210neither did I past the first sentence. Mush-headed, self righteous nonsense.
i don't really disagree with him on his observations of animal abuse and mass murder. We are way too tolerant of mass killings of animals for very poor quality meat for very poor quality restaurants while we blow up any tragedy on humans to get watch time on national news channels. Dont think that every murder gets publicized, only the ones that fit the narritive of that particular country and their sensibilities.
True. I think meat consumption now is ridiculous. The amount produced is awful for the environment and the animals themselves are often treated horribly when they're being used for cheap meat. Dont get me wrong, I eat meat, but as a world population we consume far too much meat.
My issue is more that we care too deeply about deaths of our own humans/group but not other human deaths. For example, if one American is killed and ten non-Americans are killed, the US cares more deeply for the single American, and may not even care at all for the entire group of the others if they are at fault at all This is noted most of all in all the wars, of course, most countries are like this. Although, the US had no issue killing its own people even as late as the 1970s. Look at WW2. The Americans had no issue killing every Japanese person in the world, and many Americans still wish they did/could.
P.S. note that I still don't think cows are more important than human life, that's just a fundamentally bad stance, and it's also hard to stand behind such a stance, as it would imply that you would be happy to kill humans for no reason (if cows matter more), going by the logical form. However, I also think what we (humans) do to animals is completely pointless and insane, and what with the removal of entire species, no less. Thankfully, 100 years hence will see no meat-eaters, more or less. The future is clearly 'green', all studies show this.
@@rubyr0f Well, that's because we have a large and greedy world population (such as the US and China). For the last 10,000 years, we have worked on a basic, 'the invention of farming equalled more food, which equals more people (health, larger societies, more children/people), which equals the innate need for more food (greater farming, etc.), which in turn equals more people' system. In truth, this system and its related norms, advancements, activities, and upshots have been completely insane for at least 150 years.
@Kevin Burrow Do you include dogs and cats in the animals you love to eat? Or do you only hate specific species of animals?
You are fake news. He did not perform in front of a skinhead audience. It was a concert of the Ska-band Madness who had some skinhead fans and among those skinheads, only a minority were actual neo-nazis.
And he was bottled off stage.
One of the best lyricists ever

Moz has NEVER said ANYTHING wrong! Fkin GODLIKE LEGEND!
anyone who is a fan of the smiths and knows what they were all about should neither be shocked or angry at morrissey. he is and always was an outsider, not easy to deal with and someone who likes to provoke. he may have gotten more bitter but he was always genuine
simply Moz was doing always what he wanted and thought is right, and he deserves huge respect, but this is shame...He is one of the biggest !
he's always been very outspoken but i believe people's issue it that he was a voice for the left and he's become very right wing with age
shannon marie he was never a voice of the left, a lot of people on the left were just able to relate to his lyrics. he was more like a voice of the lonely teenager outcast
LFC Support true but i still believe he was much more left wing back in the 80s (with songs like interesting drug) in comparison to now
Yeah, but at some point you need to change some ideas. I don't think still talking like an angsty teen after your 30s is something to be proud of, really...
I eat meat. Went to raves. I like black music as well as The Smiths and Morrissey's solo work and much else besides. I'm an immigrant. I once had a Chinese girlfriend. I was against Brexit. However, i think the man makes some valid points. His delivery is willfully abrasive. Sadly, i do think its attention seeking. No different from what countless other pop stars do to remain in the public conscience.
Actually if he wanted attention he would have done interviews he rarely do interviews. I think Lary King is the most recently. I think a bit of him loves to provoke and stir up controversies just like Kanye.
Go back to your own country pls
I've been one of his biggest fans in the last ten years or so. I thought he was, simply, too honest in a world that usually doesn't value it. But, of course, always have said things in which the matter isn't if you agree or not, but if they're ethical.
I felt so dissapointed with that controversial with Me Too issue that now, after all these years, as he'd say, I can't feel the same devotion I did in the past. I don't know him anymore and I'm completely fed up with these situations.
By the way, I had the idea of having a tatoo done with the word "Moz" on my right wrist and well... Now I think I hated it if it was done yet, because of some of the things which appeared in this video. And I don't think it's exaggerated. I've read about, at least, several of these ones, and I know they're true. I know the condition of not selling meat around his concerts 'cause I've been there.
morningstar dude that literally sound like the lyrics to a smiths song
@Juan Perez that was valid tho
2:17 that’s doesn’t even come close to making him racist
I think you need to separate Morrissey as a person and as an artist, because he makes amazing music even though he can be very controversial.
The guy narrating makes it sound like the Jamie Oliver thing is outrageous... I laughed at it... but maybe I'm still sour over the Turkey Twizzler incident.
for real! ive never let this down.
Can you please tell me what happened about the Turkey Twizzlers ? I don’t know
same like it’s not that deep but him saying he should cook his kids was bad out 😩

Actually, they are
Just because someone believes something doesn't make that belief justified or "right." So, not agreeing with Morrissey doesn't make his opinions wrong -- however, the fact that some of his listed opinions are misinformed or based upon prejudice do in fact make his opinions wrong.
*edgy and infantil opinions.
By that logic if I had the opinion that murdering people is a totally cool and acceptable thing to do I wouldn't be wrong....
You can't justify or dismiss bigotry by saying "it's just a different opinion".
Something being described as “awful” is an opinion in itself, you should’ve known this would be bias from the get go. Plus all one needs to realize some of these picks are awful is common human decency. Once again I have lost respect for a beloved artist
So he wants to keep British identity and culture “pure”, but you shouldn’t be proud of British culture and British athletes because that’s...fascism? Jesus Christ, the mental gymnastics.
"Despite most British citizens seeing it as a move in the wrong direction" - obv not if it was a democratic vote and more people voted Leave lmfao.
Tell me about it, this is how fucked up the media are!
Yeah because xenophobia, racism, intransigence, anger at being disenfranchised,blaming the 'other', ignorance, they are are very powerful tools. They work.
@@za.307 xenophobia is based
Incorrect
@@mistermeatcake1785 What's up bro
Omg did he really say that about RAVE MUSIC? One reason more to love him!
which is funny because the VDJ played his video for What Difference Does It Make while i was at the club last night. complains about "rave music", has videos played at clubs. ha. not hating, thought it was a good song and fascinating video.
yes it's totally ok to love rave music and Morissey
DID YOU EVEN WATCH THIS VIDEO FULLY??
Quotes made 35 years ago !!!?
There are musicians , politicians and celebs , who have said far worse than this man.
People saying far worse things than this doesn't make it okay. What's wrong with you. He's defended not one, but two sexually abusive men AND called Chinese people a subspecies. God I don't see how you people think "people have said worse" is an excuse. That's like saying "Murder is worse than rape, so we should focus more on murder!" 🙄
@@unholybrat I don't think he was explicitly defening the two accused rapists rather he was trying to say that people today can face serious charges on a mere accusation rarely with provided evidence which is a good overall point and needs to be addressed, as for calling the chinese a subspecies he was referring to their lack of emotion when treating animals which is true, and we are all subspecies of humanoids (like dogs) different races think in different ways as it is proven. You really just focus on the most shocking bits without looking any further "but he said this!""he said that" I'm sure that you ,just like any average person, have said many insensitive and outrageous things as well and probably didn't know it, which is normal.
@today is not yesterday he was commie, so everything is okay.
@@willlee5853, he didn’t deny those accounts of sexual misconduct ever took place, but instead blamed the victims. Which is far worse, as he actually believes they happened and still defends the monsters responsible.
Simp

now do top 100 best things Morrissey has said and done. some people's ability to discard everything but the bad about a multifaceted, complicated individual is so fucking myopic and sad. it's truly a disease
Not the nicest man but he can write a song....
Being honest hardly gets you many friends or makes you being liked by everyone…
Write a lyric. You mean. He can't play an instrument.
stringer 2295 you trying to be a smartass just prove how stupid you are. Is not wrong to say “he can write a song” refering to lyrics
Bigot
You can only be so nice and then everybody is walking all over you. You'd think westerners would have gotten that by now.
I guess you've found a safe space...Others haven't. Woe is them, right?
He obviously forgot that you’re not allowed to have your own opinion.
That's one aggressive vegan, must say.
"Still refuses to apologise." At least he's genuine, we got a hero we deserved.
Morrissey is too BASED for this world
Hated him in high school but love him now lol
Kek Morrissey is the based god
BASED AF 🇬🇧
@syn_gypsy far right knobs like that guy always seem to have a hard on for calling whatever shite they say the truth. Same people who refuse to wear masks and hate vaccines lol
Let’s be honest, if these are the 5 WORST things he’s ever done, then he’s doing pretty well.
LOL So true!
true
True
Saying racist things and supportingnracial predators?
Come on, it's Morrissey, that's just how he is.
Oh my god he is exactly like his fans.
I'm a nice person, i love morrisey
@@yuleki2373 thats something a Morrisey fan would say
@@yuleki2373 Lmao what
please go away watchmojo
Auden ikr they don’t have a right to make a whole FREAKING video about it
Some people can be crappy
-Sophii - They have a right to make a video about pretty much whatever they like. I am a Morrissey fan, but of his music. The guy himself was a bit of a prick.
BEST IDEA YET ......WATCH MOJO IS SO PATHETIC COMING ACROSS LIKE THE OLYMPICS IS A SACRED EVENT . HE PROBABLY LIKES THE QUEEN TOO
Jamie Piller Was? I didn't realise he was dead
"Noone cared for the Doors while they existed and while Morrison was alive, I doubt that they ever had a hit single"
-Morrissey
Regz Zuse wow
The best part is Johnny Marr was beside him where he said it and his reaction was hilarious
Absolutely, and if you listen to Doors song called touch me, the bass line is the same as it is in the Smiths song This Charming Man. Marr always made the music, while Moz would write the lyrics and probably never knew this.
I love The Doors and love Morrissey even more. fuck it.
Regz Zuse Get a life...Morrisseys songs are amazing. Unlike Jim who took drugs and acted a fool on stage. I love him and always Will. He can have any opinion he wants. I believe he says some things he does regret. Most of his opinions get written out of text. If you listen to his State of The Union video you will see for yourself. As far as China he said the remark after watching a video of cats being skinned alive. As far as Trump goes it was a hypothesis ?. And yes for his looks alone i would press the button as well. He really has respect and love for his fans. Forv 35 yrs i have been a devoted fan and will defend him till the day I die.
Regular people say shit like that all the time, but as soon as someone famous does that it seems like half the world is going crazy.
We all love Morrissey.
I hate Morrissey 😅
no
Describing someone's political opinion as "The Worst Thing" someone as ever done says a lot more about Watchmojo than them.
“Someone’s political opinion” and being openly racist are intertwined in this case which justifies the “worst thing” title.
@Odysseas G neither it is having corona virus, but I would rather not.
Odysseas G based
also someone openly justifying sexual predators and assault.
@@ummehabiba7250 I don't recommend going to the US.
He never defended Kevin Spacey. People repeat news without knowing if they are true or not.
Most tellingly, this lazy and ill researched piece of crap says that Morrissey “..Defended them in multiple interviews” As far as I am aware, it was one interview with Der Spiegel, repeatedly reported, often out of context, and with very biased and opinionated editorial slant. WatchMojo also asserts that Morrissey ‘stands behind them’ , which clearly means supports them. He was (if you take it as read that the translation was reasonably faithful/accurate) expressing some thoughts about it. People need to listen more carefully and weigh them up before joining the ranks of the outraged.
The Chinese comments are probably the worst thing in this list. If he actually did say that.
@@gregorywellman6711 He wasn't wrong about the Chinese tho...
I don't agreed with almost anything that Morrissey says but I really respect the guts that he have for saying such things, it's really rare to see celebrities talks what they really think and I respect him for that!
Agree. Prooves that you still have a freedom of speech and freedom of being an ass and still acquire big audiences on concerts. Kind of glad he doesnt sell out on this one, despite being called out everywhere :D
Wasn't defending Weinstein and spacey, he was criticising the victims. The way of the media is criminal 🤬
why was he criticizing them
@@sheldonmcgeever574 obviously the only culprits are Weinstein and co. I don't know what was said word for word and I am only saying the opposite of this narrator, as in moz defending the freak Weinstein. That's all my friend x
What possible criticism could one give of a victim of sexual violence? Kind of wondering what gender you are
Morrissey makes it SO HARD to be a Smiths fan
Shana not really
Then stop being one?
you can like someones music but a lot of people take into account the artist's outside talks
Shut up!!
It appears Johnny's brightside chimes give it a Ying/Yang edge between Mors. & Marr
Rave music does suck. I completely agree with that statement.
James Vinson agreed
W R O N G
I agree
ya all us Morrissey's hate it.
honestly i admire the guy, he is truly one of the last artists who gives absolutely 0 fucks about what anybody has to say about his opinions
And it’s pretty smart, it gains him more attention
How about Dylan
HE cant have fewer fucks
Shut up
Nothing's changed I still love you only slightly only slightly less then I used to
Don't mess with my Robert Smith!!! 😡
Robert Smith is literally too adorable to be insulted :v
@@Theunkownofbelgium say it louder for the people in the back❤
You really think they have beef with each othed
The Smiths should be In the rock & roll hall of fame
Fact
They don't need that nonsense.. they're already legends
The Batman they’re overrated
Cliff Hanley AND MADONNA IS?!!!
It'll never happen. They don't fit into the right categories to be considered for the HoF. Btw... if anyone from that genre should get in, it's The Cure. I always loved the Smiths, but The Cure is legendary. One word: Disintegration. To quote Kyle Broflovski: "the best album ever."
Morrisey IS JUST FRANK, TRUE TO HIS SELF AND HONEST, AT LEAST HIS NOT A PRETENDER or saying FLOWERY WORDS JUST TO PLEASE ANYBODY OR SOMEBODY...
god i love morissey so much
You do realise the majority of British voted out of the EU? So in what ducking way is that remotely controversial. The only thing on this list that's actually a disgrace is mojo ignorance about how the democratic process and freedom of speech actually operate in a democratic country.
Might rock up to a Morrissey concert in a Bob Marley shirt whilst eating a cheese burger
Liam Hogg why give him money fir a joke?
Dude I would pay real. Money to see his reaction
Liam Hogg Don't forget to bring your Chinese friend with you!
He'd have you kicked out.
Also be Chinese and wear an EU flag
I just don't think he likes Humans the way they treat animals and the earth 🌎🙏💚
Anyone come here after the Simpsons?
Why do terrible people make such good music? I love the smiths and his solo work but moz as a person is blehhh
Legato i was thinking exactly the same , thats pretty sad
It's usually like that.
As much as Morrissey is a great lyricist, he's just whacked out of his mind.
he didn't write the music....he just added lyrics and sang....so you can enjoy the Smith tunes
Manly Men I know that but other than marr’s guitar work what do people really enjoy about the smiths? the lyrics and vocals
The fact about him not apologizing for any of his statements is actually the greatest fact about him
Same. If you're mad, don't go to his shows, don't buy/listen to his music. I cook steaks while I listen to Morrissey, I'm glad he's vegan, but what he chooses to put into his body has no real bearing on what I want to put in my ears. I love his work, and will continue to do so.
You don’t think he should apologize for calling Chinese people a subspecies? Lol
@@mcxploders6704
He said ”They seem to me to be almost subhuman” that is the quote
@@mragren9853 doesn’t make it better lol
@@mcxploders6704 than just don't listen to what he says! Jesus christ people everyone can say whatever they want no matter how much controversial is it, but on the other hand you don't have to listen either! People should just stop complain or think that their opinion is the only one which deserves to be heard man I hate people
Morrissey writes wonderful song titles but, sadly, he often forgets to write the song. - Elvis Costello
He was definitely hating on Morrissey there
I now have 8 reasons to love morissey
