Davey Jones' Locker 1,324 Posted March 8, 2012 He,s just popped off to his locker. The rumours of my demise have been greatly exaggerated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted August 9, 2012 Three surviving Monkees have announced 12 date US tour. The band have never gigged without Davy and have toured the world without Mike (who's surprised lots of people by agreeing to these dates). Doubtless they'll sell out, but is it The Monkees without Davy? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bibliogryphon 9,571 Posted August 10, 2012 It will be more the Monkees than Queen would be Queen without Freddie Mercury. Mickey Dolenz sang on the better songs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,645 Posted August 10, 2012 Hmm, debateable I'd say. "Going Down", b-side of Daydream Believer is Micky's finest vocal performance IMHO and even made Stuart Maconie's Freakzone (6 Music's home of the strange and overlooked). Mike is the one stellar talent in the group for my money, and I think his solo stuff is seriously under-rated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike is the one stellar talent in the group for my money, and I think his solo stuff is seriously under-rated. Mike Nesmith is definitely the most talented but they have demonstrated that they can (will) tour without him but as Micky & Davy shared vocals they are what the public would perceive as the sound of the Monkees. Mike Nesmith released an ironically titles Best of collection entitled " and the Hits Just Keep on Coming" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe Michelle Phiiips should throw her lot in with the surviving Monkees in some kind of sixties extravaganza show. From what I understand (as the son of a major Monkees obsessive), while Nesmith really does not enjoy playing with The Monkees per se, he feels he has an obligation to their fanbase to play and doesn't feel it'd be right to rob them of the chance to relive their childhoods. I don't know if that's charming or arrogant really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SC Nesmith didn't exactly come from money but as his career went on his mum's income from her liquid paper patent grew and grew, so when she died he inherited a stack. Much of this has gone on arts projects, and his own solo work gradually got really arty (dunno if SC's Monkees obsession extends to having a tonnage of solo Nesmith, but he's an ambitious, admired and impressive songwriter - I really love The Prison album, which is all of those things).
