I hope Morrissey has found new songwriters for his new album since his actual band has this chef d'oeuvre to achieve.

motivators and the flyer / points of interest. (Score:1)
I've just played the motivators mp3 and c'mon, its not THAT bad.
Alain sounds quite flat sometimes and its the usual plod pop/rock thing , but oddly enough I've got the tune running round in my head already.

The main reason for this post - So if the rockabilly boys are playing with the newly formed 'Motivators', surely they cant be doing the recording session with Morrissey for the new album , and if theyre not, who is ??
3.
Upon seeing their flyer, 'pop fiction' and 'harvey keitel ' image........
Very cool but extremely dangerous.
'harvey keitel' refused the smiths permission when Morrissey wanted 'keitel' on one of the bands sleeve covers.
Then 'keitel' got really cheesed off when chat show host 'graham norton' produced a mass marketed 'harvey keitel-reservoir dogs doll' !! keitel was really defensive and started to say 'i never gave them permission' and i'll be seeing my lawyers' blah blah blah. He made himself look very self important and pretentious however great an actor he may be.

Congrats to 'Ben Gunstone' the motivators support.
He's from the same good ole sunny town where i'm from ''Melksham'' in Wiltshire, England.....good luck.

Motivators (Score:2, Interesting)
Vauxhall and I alone shows the talent that these guys have. Alain has wrote songs that are just as good, if not better then Marr's. Is there no loyalty to them?? I am sure Morrissey has some loyalty to them..his 4 latest songs were written with them, so who do you think will support him on the new album?
I think it's always good to get the creative juices flowing because in the end some good music will come out of it.
My final point is, if Morrissey did the vocals on this song I doubt people would call it 80's crap! I just think some people like to be negative..
VIVA Motivators!! Good luck at the gig..

I think this song (the only one of theirs that I've heard this far) is actually quite nice. I will most likely be buying their album if it sounds anything like this.
Didn't your mothers ever tell you to shut up if you had nothing nice to say? If not, they should've.

In an ideal world the blueprint for the new record would be nick cave's the boatman's call - emotional, pared down music with piano, acoustic and strings. when moz does that he is untouchable.
only a poltroon would not agree that angel angel/i know very well/trouble loves me/lifeguard/i've changed my plea/will never/this is not your country/we'll let you know et al are artistically more enriching than boy racer/satan/the operation/dagenham/ammunition.
it doesn't necessarily require a change of personal. both white and boorer (and the sadly under used cobrin) have penned some delightfully yearning tunes.
he just needs a change of emphasis from the muscular lad rock that at it's frequent worst sounds desperately akin to a bryan adams rhythm track.

The Motivators Rock! Simple (Score:1)
I would just like to write that I saw the Motos in Peterborough last week and they were awesome! Not only do they have the best drummer that Moz has had(Spikey T Smith) But there songs we're brilliant, they looked fantastic And I really think that they will make quite an impact when there stuff get released. I think all the people on here who have been slagging them off should shut up as they are obliviously not true Moz fans anyway, other wise they would be alot more supportive

And why does everyone hate the Rockabilly genre so much? (Personally I'm very partial to a man with a quiff and turn-ups, but that's just me...)
I like the song, it's a definite grower, and I'll probably go to the gig as well...
Alain and Boz are both fantastic musicians....I'm sensing that a lot of you don't like it cos it's not Morrissey-esque, and nor should it be.

Motivators: a band in its own right (Score:1)
Alain, like Boz, has been a member of Morrissey's band for TWICE as long as J Marr ever was!
What "JiltedJim" is saying amounts to denying Aain, Spike and Gary the right to play/record music in Morrissey's absence lest they be seen as career opprtunists. This is farcical. Like, are they all supposed to abstain from playing or something?
However, no one has a moral obligation to listen to/purchase/like material by Alain, Gary, Boz, or Morrissey. Or anyone else for that matter.
So for instance if you don't like psychobilly but you still bought an album by Frantic Flintstones or Nitros because it's got Gaz on double bass, then you are SAD.
All bands should be judged on merit, and the Motivators are no exception. I personally think they are outstanding and write superb songs.
(Just out of interest - has ANYONE ever bought that Joan Armatrading album on the strength of Boz playing the flute on it?)
