Robert Smith vs. Morrissey

[@Falxifer95]

The contrast between Six Different Ways and Bigmouth Strikes Again is actually genius.

[@avi_s0ncin0]

Right??? But they also represent Robert Smith and Morrissey’s characteristics perfectly

[@lauce3998]

Robert Smith is a great musician and a great person, Morrissey is a great musician.

[@jasminericenic]

“i’ll roshambo you for it!”

[@phantomlord91]

What's been said over the years by Morrissey (M) and Robert Smith (RS) : M: "The Cure, a new dimension to the word 'crap'." RS: "If Morrissey says not to eat meat, then I’m going to eat meat; that’s how much I hate Morrissey." M: "Robert Smith is a whingebag." RS: "The press try to categorize me as a 'doom-and-gloom' singer. But take a look at Morrissey! That man's a professional moaner!" M: "Well, I am an extremely beautiful person." RS: "Morrissey’s so depressing... if he doesn’t kill himself soon, I probably will." M: "I lie a lot... it's really useful." RS: "I lie a lot... especially on interviews."

[@eurodara]

IV-I-XIV-XIV but why there is so much hatred between them? when did it start?

[@phantomlord91]

During an interview Morrissey was asked "Which Smith would you kill if you had them both in front of you and you only had one bullet? Rober Smith or (someone else named) Smith?" then he answered that he would shoot them from the side and probably kill both. This made Robert pissed ofcourse.

[@eurodara]

IV-I-XIV-XIV seriously? how stuoid you have to be ask somebody a question like that?

[@phantomlord91]

Not very professional to ask, but they are interviewers. They love these kind of answers. Morrissey should not have answered it either because it is just really lame...

[@dorianleakey]

@jackie I don't think he does, which is why saying someone makes you want to eat meat to annoy them is an insult.

It takes a very specific audience to appreciate this I think.

Being vegan and being pretentious/smug in character are two separate things. Just look at Johnny Marr; complete different and down to earth vegan compared to Morrissey. That is why I can't tolerate Morrissey's personality, though I like The Smith's music. I'm vegan and I am completely team Robert Smith and The Cure. Rob is just more humble. Yet in the end, their feud is petty but hilarious.

I honestly dont get the Smiths. They have always seemed like a joke band, and I think Morrissey knows this and has always gotten a kick out of the people who take him seriously. Imagine your entire existence being this absurd.

[@mooglywoogle4264]

@juancho111 they are silly, making music inspired by a generic 80s style, with lyrics that are awful and ridiculous. They had enough stupid people listening to their music that they knew they could get away with being stupid and narcissistic, but their lyrics were just dumb.

Loads of them I spotted, very clever....there is also at 1:24 a very subtle nod to The Smiths support band (and Morrissey favourites) back then JAMES - the way their singer Tim Booth wobbles his head when he dances - and when he was bald back then and is bald right now. The fact that Moz lost all his hair and then started to impersonate Tim Booth dancing before dropping 'dead' is just hilarious!

Very well done David. A brilliantly humorous piece of animation of two of my favourite artists who have had 'beef' or 'quorn' 😁 in the case of Mozzer for many years. I particularly liked the ' flames rose to her roman nose and her hearing aid started to melt' part of the film. Personally I think both Robert and Morrissey would like this homage although I think Mozzer would pretend he didn't. I could be wrong though🤔 Please do some more as the world really needs to see your work and so do I. 🙄❤

This is absolutely hilarious and so creative! I believe this whole "feud" is 💯 an industry creation. Morrissey is actually hilarious, as anyone who reads his writing will find immediately, and I would bet he'd laugh his head off at this. Can't believe how people take all this so seriously...

I suppose the thing is that they had different influences: the Smiths are much more old-school 60s-style rock/pop. How Soon Is Now is a bit of an outlier in that case, but if you're still interested some of the songs off of Strangeways, Here We Come are a little like it.
