+Install a Friend Its called shyness i believe. He's not smug at all that's just intelligence that you are not used to. First and foremost hes very shy , everything else is secondary. It's not weird at all. He doesnt suffer fools, and more perceptive than most. He's only comfortable when he's on stage, or when he doesnt have to deal with people up close and personal.
He is an artist.He play some kind of a role,if you know what i mean.His image is also to be depressed,something he say that he is,and aongs about depression also sells alot.
The Pianist Perhaps you have never had the experience of being part of a studio audience..where you are given cues to applaud.. :) There is even cues to laugh..and for other reactions. It is just part of Hollywood. Lots of love to you...from America.
Coming from people who thought Benny Hill was funny? There are 80 comments about us Americans clapping at this guy? How about being flattered that he is popular?
Usually, Morrissey would conduct an interview like the interviewer and the fans are too obtuse to get him. But in this case, he was talking to endear himself to the fans. I think he was taken aback at that time of his sudden American success in the early 90s.
That question about poets Sylvia Plath and Ann Sexton blew me away. Today you'd get questions like, what did you have for breakfast or something completely brainless.
Definitely, and I was surprised to see him not speak admirably of Sylvia Plath. Her works run so parallel to Morrissey's own views and personality (loneliness, depression etc) but perhaps that would be the reason he doesn't find it interesting as it is a life he knows too well.
haha when the girl asked how he feels with the crazy fans running on stage to hug or touch him and she says she's one of them lol.. i've never been able to see morrissey perform that close up, but i will one day and i'll run up there and hug him and just die in shock haha
I would NOT have been able to maintain my composure let alone eye contact with this beautiful man staring right at me whilst licking his lips and grabbing his jaw that way.
"if 'this' had existed at the same time as the Smiths, I would have preferred 'this'". bollocks Moz, you can't bullshit a bullshitter. 'this' isn't even a real name!!
Basty Elwood Cobain I'm 100% sure that was the reason. He talks shit when no one is around, but not in front of them. That's the thing about Morrissey xD
The music he made while in the Smiths was better and they go down as one of the most influential bands in British history, he's not really in a band with these people and nobody really knows who they are, they're more like a backing for him than a band
1:33 awwww cute. She puts her hand on her best friends shoulder because she is nervous infront of her idol 🥰. Where are they today? Are they still friends?
A lot of comments about how it's weird that the audience is clapping, and it that's because it is. BUT, and TV tapings in America, there's usually a, "Rally guy" who kind of directs the audience to clap or even have an over-exaggerated laugh anytime the guest says something. This is so the viewers at home has the impression that the studio wants transmitted.
Totally uncomfortable situation for Morrissey for sure! This is when stupid MTV made singers and bands go along with this ridiculous round of questions in order to please the kids in the audience and to make the singers or bands look "nice". If I love Morrissey and The Smiths back then, aside for his awesome music, it's because of the man's brutal honesty. I'm sure that If Morrissey had had the chance to speak his mind out right there in the middle of the show, he would've said, "I enjoy making music with the band and I'm happy to perform it love but, honestly, I can't stand the way the music industry and television networks expose artists in America... It's annoying, irritating and quiet stupid".
i was 12 i very vividly remember seeing the video for ' Tomorrow' and I was honestly truly i swear- taken away. Very few other people made a difference as much as Morrissey and very few people really struck me! I was a very enamored 12 year old gal and I am still enamored. ♥ tks for this
3:02 “if both The Smiths and this band had existed at the same time I would’ve chosen this.”. I’m sorry there is no Johnny Marr or Andy Rourke quality or even Mike Joyce quality in that band of yours. Johnny, Andy and Mike are irreplaceable. But kudos to you for carrying on a successful career. But that band is nothing compared to the previous one.
One day I shall go see this Man at one of his concerts and run on stage and give him a hug and kiss. I’ll run over security in a formative manner and respectful apologize after.
I have always found the different language, tone, fashion, sound, and camera quality between the 80s and 90s cringy. The last generation of articulate, well-read individuals died in the 80s therefore being replaced by the 90s. The beginning of decaying culture.
I adore morrissey with all my heart but he is absolutely kidding himself to say he prefers this band to Johnny Marr, he adored Marr and probably didn't want to admit he always will adore Marr. No one can replicate what Marr and Morrissey did together, anyone could be in his solo band
You may say that, but I guess I am in the very small few who think Morrissey as a Solo Artist is better than The Smiths. I think You are the Quarry is better than The Queen is Dead. Take 4 songs from each album. I really do think Irish Blood English Heart, I Have Forgiven Jesus, The World is full of Crashing Bores and First of the Gang to Die, is better than just say The Queen is Dead, I Know it's Over, Cemetery Gates and There is a Light that Never Goes Out.
***** Yeah that's a fair point I suppose. There is no denying that both Johnny Marr and Morrissey are musical geniuses, and as great as The Smiths were (and I really love them), for some reason when I want to listen Morrissey, I always choose his solo work over the Smiths. Maybe I just like his voice more the older he got...
Understanding and being ok with the fact he's the way he is, is an act of respect. But the ones who have any problem with his behavior might be second guessing him.
the bit about him preferring this band over the smiths is a load of bs. the rest of the smiths put Morrissey on the map and without them, he might still be renting a room in Whalley Range... seems a bit disrespectful to throw that chapter of his career out the window. But then again his band was sitting right there so there wasn't really anything else he could say.
The 'rest' of The Smiths? Sir, Joyce and Rourke did fuck all. I think you mean Marr. And where would Marr be without Morrissey? Teaching guitar lessons at a local studio I suspect.
Murakami R He's always very honest. My favourite album's of his career are since Your Arsenal when Boz took over the band& onwards, but his first two are great too. The Smith's made great song's ,although they were poor musically, live especially but Johnny was good with studio affect's & the lyric's/vocal melody's whether studio recorded or live are amazing 😃
All the fans cheering when he says he prefers the new band to being in The Smiths seems odd considering they're all probably Smiths fans. Then again, he could burp and they would whoop and cheer.
What a load of bull dude, to hear Morrissey slap The Smiths like that really is tragic. I read his Autobiography and realize the amount of shit he went through with Mike Joyce and all but still, just because of all the drama doesn't mean The Smiths were this band that he couldn't give two shits about.
Whoa!!!! If anyone could write about that feeling Morrissey created growing up it would be Sylvia Plath. Her poetry was a perfect expression of art, as you don't have to take it in the context with which it was written, in her world, you could read it flatly and in a more artistic way, and this is not true of all poets, only the best. And if anyone was Smiths like I would imagine Oscar Wilde and Miss Plath. Plath for her versatile writing dynamic that is often underestimated and Oscar Wilde because of Morrissey holding a bunch of lupins in his back pocket being the devilish romantic plucked from suburbia up on stage - someone said he was the greatest lounge singer there ever was - and it's true!
Morrisey could have takem a shit on that set, picked it up and ate and that crowd still would have applauded him
+Ronan Ferguson Best comment.
omg,YES.

you made me laugh so hard I cried
Yes. Its called American enthusiasm and its the reason the country is so messed up!
It's weird it's like he's not comfortable in his own skin but very comfortable and almost smug at the same time.
+Install a Friend Its called shyness i believe. He's not smug at all that's just intelligence that you are not used to. First and foremost hes very shy , everything else is secondary. It's not weird at all. He doesnt suffer fools, and more perceptive than most. He's only comfortable when he's on stage, or when he doesnt have to deal with people up close and personal.

We appear to be on a Mozza video sesh ;) Happy new year and all that.
Aye. And a very happy new year to all Mozza fans worldwide.
I do know some people who behave like that. Shy but confortable in stage
The way americans clap and scream at everything is weird
people love clapping
The Pianist you should see how us Mexicans do it. "We" go crazy over anything.
There's a reason they call them Americlaps.
Movie ends at the cinema *Claps*
Someone gets shot *Claps*
Eat a burger *Claps*

i love that he smiles at himself and poses when they start clapping and cheering.
It’s hilarious
now i can’t unsee it LMAO
That's cute bc he is clearly happy
He knows he is by far the most intelligent person in the room. Just look how dumb they are slapping their hands together like trained seals 🦭
@@jacobmassey3897 Yes, I think he's also laughing at the preposterousness of the situation rather than at himself.
Morrissey said something... hesitation... CLAP CLAP CLAP
/Moz burps
/crowd responds by screaming and hollering in unison.
Well.......yeah.........he is Morrissey
he goes "hmmm" because they just interrupted him hahaha
Do modern pop stars get questions like this? Questions on literary influences, choice of producer. Good intelligent conversation
music has gone down the shitter
I love how he interacted with the kids, he is very respectful towards them.
Morrissey: “I eat baby pandas”
*pause*
The Crowd: WHHOHOOOOOOOO *clap* WUUOFHHOOO
Hahahahahahhahahahahah

I absolutely adore watching Morrissey interact with other human beings. He's just fascinating.
Because he is very charming and shy at the same time 🙂
Thats called LIFE WITHOUT THE INTERNET.
what a charming man
Thiiiis chaaaaaaarming maaaaaaaaaaan
Until you get to know him and his opinions...... (but I get your referencing the song)

he wrote that song about the KKK Grandwizard David Duke
he seems a little freaked out lol
Americans are scary

omg i dont blame him why r they going crazy after every question
3:17 such a great question in my opinion, she seems like such a clever girl.
There were some great questions there overall.
the Morrissey/Marr combination will never be re-created.
Not even Andy. Amazing bass player.
Did anyone else notice the first "interviewer" was named Steven? I wonder if that was intentional, LOL.
THAT HAIR. How much mousse and blow drying does it take ?
That question about poets Sylvia Plath and Ann Sexton blew me away. Today you'd get questions like, what did you have for breakfast or something completely brainless.
This 100%
So true!

Did you ever do it?
I actually saw this when it first aired! 1992 was arguably Moz's strongest year as a solo act.
Morrissey was at his peak handsomeness 92-95
82-96 to be more accurate
For me it's about 86 - 2008
Yes, that's what I think, too. So incredible handsome at that time.
he is still very handsome
Morrissey always gives the best answers. It is incredible.
I would NOT have been able to maintain my composure let alone eye contact with this beautiful man staring right at me whilst licking his lips and grabbing his jaw that way.
Nor me!
He probably wouldn’t like you
Morrissey: gives an honest answer to a question
America: * rampant clapping ensues *
'It's grown larger than i expected it to and I'm very excited by that' he knows exactly what he's doing.
He had all the right answers. If this was a job interview, he'd get hired with a signing bonus.
HE'S SO AWKWARD AND ADORABLE
"if 'this' had existed at the same time as the Smiths, I would have preferred 'this'". bollocks Moz, you can't bullshit a bullshitter. 'this' isn't even a real name!!
He would prefer them over The Smiths? Please, please, please tell me this was recorded on April 1st.
Basty Elwood Cobain I'm 100% sure that was the reason. He talks shit when no one is around, but not in front of them. That's the thing about Morrissey xD
im a straight guy but what an obscenely good looking human being

Lara That’s because The Smiths made him.
Smiths were fantastic and got him off to a great start but he's magnificent now and his band is superb. too. 2023.
1:33 awwww cute. She puts her hand on her best friends shoulder because she is nervous infront of her idol 🥰. Where are they today? Are they still friends?
Poor Mozza. Seems shy.
***** that's very obviously nervous behaviour
being shy also means being sensitive and knowing things outwardly confident people with polished social personas will never know
Well, he did write the line ’I am the son and the heir of a shyness that is criminally vulgar’, you know!
@@orgryte1 for many years I.throught it was 'sun and air'
Felt so stupid when I realised. Makes more sense now...

This band here was extremely important for him in terms of being able to carry on as a solo act.
A lot of hate for the Americans in the comment section.
Play Loud Too much actually. Can't we all just get along?
I don't care what he has said he's an amazing star
I love how American audiences go "woo!" every two seconds :)
The British are not like that though
The opposite
There's a stage hand with an applause sign telling them to
i dont
The whole interview session was really weird; they cut off Morrissey most of the time when he was still giving his answers.
A decade or so before this he was on the dole and living with his mother in Stretford.
How things change!
i was 12 i very vividly remember seeing the video for ' Tomorrow' and I was honestly truly i swear- taken away. Very few other people made a difference as much as Morrissey and very few people really struck me! I was a very enamored 12 year old gal and I am still enamored. ♥ tks for this
he's my mommy's favorite singer!
CoolGirl TV ur mommy has a taste.
I think Tarentino in 90-95 could've played Morrissey

I never saw Morrissey as awkward as in this video
Oh god he is so cute!!!
No way he would've preferred them to Johnny, he's lying to himself and the audience
I didn't even know this existed. Amazing. Thanks, Internet!
Morrisey-never beats around the bush, gives straight answers and loves his fans
he is making me smile so hard
Morrissey is God.
Eric Clapton
Kids were so much smarter and articulate back then. TAKE A LOOK AT THE KIDS NOW. Can't even express anything without "copy and pasting" LMAO!!
watch this and drink every time he goes ‘hUih’ when they say hello to him
"they made me ask it." "sorry. what? she made you ask."
it feels weird, seeing clips from a relevant and interesting MTV
He is so shy. What a babe?
Jesus that whooping after every answer
So what?
@@oasis4ever718 It’s dumb and awkward.
His mimics are lovely. After cheers and applauses from his funs, the pride and shines on his face is priceless. I love him
Oh Morrissey u are so hot and influential in animal rights and will be remembered for this cause forever. Long live animal + human love
the band always looked pissed off lol
i would have prefer The Smiths than this!But this is Morrissey,how not love this guy?!

He looks embarrassed every time they clap like mad
Morrissey seems so eloquent. Or its just a pose.
I wish i was in that audience! But was only a baby lol. Also he doesn't like Sylvia Plath :O
Selina Begum I was surprised by this too as Sylvia Plath and Morrissey are my fave writers!
bro i wasn't even born i was like -16 years old lmao. i wish i was there too
Morrissey must be thinking shut up every time they clap....although his hair is funny here.
When he calls Johnny Marr, Andy Rourke etc "session musicians" lol sick burn
CJ Mooney He was referring to Steven Street and the people who wrote music for 'Kill Uncle' etc.
This is like his worst fear being in that situation lol doesnt help that the kids keep screaming
Definitely helps when the kids are screaming. Makes him smile 😃
I just realised that Sylvia Plath's work is as old to the people in this video as this video is to me. Christ I'm getting old.
4:00 his mouth OMG 🤤🤤🤤🤤😍😍😍
The irony is that without The Smiths he wouldn't have been as successful as he is today.
Am I the only one liking his solo work more than the music by The Smiths?
Yes.
Yes.
Yes
yes
I don't think you are the only one, but definitely part of a small minority.
How sad. The Smiths band is so much better
Rudy Morales they’re really not
How I See It
You must of be blind and deaf
omgg he likes anne sexton and tells the truth about Plath.♥ *siigh* hehe! im always - will always - be in love with this man
The last time Morrissey looked young
Look at that bevy of hot 90's chicks!
Gen X, baby!!!
+Phatt Beta ETD Not really that hot, average i would say when you take a closer look. I cant imagine what they look like now.....argh.
Might be weird thing to say but he and his band here looks like either people who work at gay bar or people who visits gay bar.
Embarrassingly embarrassed !
His hairstyle is so ridiculous. Yeah I just wanted to comment that.
It always is haha
I don’t know if the 3 band mates in the middle could look any more miserable.
Wonder what he thinks of the wooping.
