Andrew Evans who says that???? There are too many songs that bass players play a leading role throughout!! Do u remember Gang of Four, or Joy Division??? Were their bass players underrated??? Don’t think so!!!! Just stop this view!!!! You should have already known that the majority of the Iron Maiden songs, has been written by Steve Harris!!!!????? Shouldn’t you?????????
The way how Johnny took his guitar off to dance with Moz....aaahhhhh it means everything to me :') They really had good chemestry. Johnny Marr and Morrissey I will always love you
I know a lot of people always wonder what really went down between Marr and Moz, and here is what I found through some ahem, thorough research. I think they were great friends at first, great mates. But at some point, I do believe Moz was in love with Johnny. Whether it was reciprocated is debatable. Songs like angel angel, and a handful of smiths songs practically tell the story. It's just a shame that the two of them cannot seem to find some common ground and be friends again. I believe someone's feelings got really hurt beyond repair. Either way, I adore the music that we have from their friendship and what have you. They gave us amazing music from whatever angst was going on in so many songs.
I know we're two years on but do you have ANY sources for this at all? It's widely known that Marr left as he became Morrissey's manager and all-round shit sorter and it's widely speculated that Morrissey's gay but no amount of research I've done has lead me to find any unpublished diaries that express this 😂
@@thewildmitchell Back in the day there were all sort of rumors. One of them - a frequent one - was that Marr and Morrissey were more than mere friends when the band started, although no couple. They decided to leave it be and continued as friends/bandmates. About the band's demise, Marr left. He probably was just tired.
AZAM JAMIL bruh he’s celebit... that’s like the furthest away from gay you could ever be. He literally doesn’t like to be sexual/get intimate in that way with anybody.
Johnny Marr was incredible for his age at the time, no doubt about that, but Andy Rourke was just as young writing and playing basslines like these. Such an underrated musician, they both are.
I could watch this indefinitely- they're the coolest dancers, and you can really see what a wonderful relationship they had. I'm just happy that I'm able to see it.
This will always be one of my favorite things on earth. It never fails to make me grin like a lunatic, though it makes me wistful, too. Their chemistry and connection were undeniable, whatever you may or may not believe to have been the "whole story."
@@gregdamiano7283 just some of the lines. Marr stated that Rourke was one of the best bassists he knew and that's why he invited him to the band to start with (they were also friends before The Smiths)
THISVIDEOISLIFEOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG I LIVE THE WAY HE DANCES JUST LIKE YOU WOULD WHEN NOBODY IS AROUND ITS SO ADORABLE OMFG THIS HAS MADE MY DAY ! THIS HAS MADE MY LIFE
Andy Rourke is criminally underated when it comes to people name-checking bass players. I found this song abit difficult to play for a while and I've been playing for 8 years!
Andy Rourke has made mention several times of the influence of bassist Mick Karn from the band Japan on his style. "I rate Rourke’s creative bass playing almost as highly as I do Mick Karn’s of Japan, and funnily enough, in the book, Marr and Rourke’s trip to see Japan play live in Manchester is recounted. It made a huge impression on Rourke, who said Karn influenced the way he came to play bass." "AR: Mick Karn was fucking amazing. I bought all the albums and tried to emulate everything that he did. He was a real musician and they were true New Romantics. I preferred the more guitar-like earlier albums, especially Adolescent Sex. Real musical landscapes.
I don't know what down between them, but it would be nice if they were friends again - Johnny Marr seems like such a nice guy. I think you are right about reforming the Smiths though, they'd probably just be a shadow of what they once were.
This is great! The album Meat Is Murder had such variety to it, showcasing the bands ability to write many styles of music. This song is a funk song, and its great to see them dancing, Morrissey and Johnny, with the rhythm section providing the groove.
But think about how fragile masculinity is even today? How often would you see two male bandmates dance with each other onstage like this in 2016, let alone in 1985? To me, The Smiths were legendary not only in their music, but through the way they combatted norms in terms of sexuality and gender.
batboy yeah but that isn't even pushing the boundaries of social normalities regarding stereotypical homeotic behaviour - that is actually a homosexual act of love. Nothing wrong with it, of course but still, that doesn't really compare to how morrissey and marr tested social norms.
batboy Morrissey and Marr challenged the stigma around sexuality and overt displays of femininity and that is what they're being praised for here. They're fucking gods. Comparing the mcr cunts to them is blasphemy. Kissing a dude on stage isnt challenging social normalities, it's just quite simply - kissing a dude on stage. I'll kiss everycunt when i'm drunk, doesn't make me a revolutionary. Just makes me someone who kisses everycunt when i'm drink. And i'm 78 btw, so cut the cheek before i give u the ol' left right goodnight.
I wasn't tryin to prove that they're revolutionary just that someone was doin shit like that in the 2000s. also yes please try to punch me through your computer
Ya los amaba, pero ver esto me voló la cabeza y el corazón 🖤 Morrissey y Johnny bailando de forma tan natural, siendo un equipo genial, el más genial, llamado the Smiths 😍 junto con Andy y Mike.
"We didn't like each other that much."
-Morrissey
obviously lmaooooo
Mozza is a liar
Like Mozza and Rella dey go togetha?
Music is a great uniter..
Of course he will say that since they both are now bad terms the last 30 years!
Andy rourke is one of the most underrated musicians ever, but such is the nature of bass players.
I don't know! Look at Hooky of Joy Division and NO, pretty well rated (and deservedly so!)
Andy Rourke and Joey Santiago of the Pixies are the most underrated musicians of all time
Andrew Evans what about Paul McCartney?
Paul sang, played the piano, and the guitar on multiple beatles songs. He was by far not just a bass player.
Andrew Evans who says that???? There are too many songs that bass players play a leading role throughout!! Do u remember Gang of Four, or Joy Division??? Were their bass players underrated??? Don’t think so!!!! Just stop this view!!!! You should have already known that the majority of the Iron Maiden songs, has been written by Steve Harris!!!!????? Shouldn’t you?????????
I've never seen a guitarist remove his guitar and dance with the singer. Another reason the Smiths are the best band ever.
I've seen the Three Johns do it! 😄
i mean,,, the song kinda ended the guitar part at the same time Johnny took off his guitar?
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant dance to
Yeah!
And hows Is that special?
“we didn’t like each other that much” my eNtiRe AsS mOrRiSsEy
😂😂😂😂😂
How can you not groove to that bassline? Rest in Peace Andy Rourke!!!!
Agreed! What song is this clip from?

Andy Rourke really is one hell of a bassist.

play this at my funeral
Note taken
By stating that, you deserve a long and happy life.
The way how Johnny took his guitar off to dance with Moz....aaahhhhh it means everything to me :') They really had good chemestry. Johnny Marr and Morrissey I will always love you
💯 !!
what do you think of morrissey now 💀
@@zoom_4211Morrissey is still this fella for me.
This video always makes me happy
That fucking bass line kills me so good
RIP Andy Rourke. This bassline will follow me for the rest of my life
The dance of mating.
ahaha

Richex112 Matt was 18 and morrissey 23 in 1982 the year the stated
Agree 100% Kate Vielle. Great research!
Morrissey makes this dance look so easy but I fucking fall down every single time I try it
You need to do drugs
AZAM JAMIL being gay and being asexual are opposites, my dude
AZAM JAMIL bruh he’s celebit... that’s like the furthest away from gay you could ever be. He literally doesn’t like to be sexual/get intimate in that way with anybody.
@@marcbolanballoon164 I read that as “romantic attraction to Goofy” and was laughing for a sec
@@srehh5529 I CANT BREATHE LMAO
As much as I love seeing these two dancing, the spotlight here is definitely on Andy O'Rourke. That bassline KILLS ME
Johnny Marr is quite possibly the only man ever to wear a yellow turtle-neck jumper and still look unbelievably cool!
you're right lmao
Who else wishes they had a best friend they could dance with like that?
Oh yeah...
doctor:you only have 1 minute 30 seconds.
me;
Andy rourke , that smile , oh kkk
This is how i dance when I'm angry.
I don’t know in what situation you’d dance when angry but lmao
decent When someone has your dog at knifepoint and says that if you don’t dance, your dog’s fucked.
**Aggressively Swings arms around**
Johnny Marr was incredible for his age at the time, no doubt about that, but Andy Rourke was just as young writing and playing basslines like these. Such an underrated musician, they both are.
This made me smile.
oh boy hahahah. also andy and mick are KILLING it
the shuffling
PC Disciple mike
You again!
the greatest bass line ever recorded
Wow. Love this - Any Rourke is like a metronome!! RIP Andy.
The last bit of the bass riff is 👌
RIP Andy, your beautiful bass was magical
i think im going to cry i love when he tooks his guitar off to dance with Moz i just love them and i will forever
can we talk about andy's bassline? he's so talented and amazing, really
my heroes dancing together
Somebody please bring me a TIME MACHINE... NOW!!!!
They are so cute
Johnny Marr is the coolest guy ever
Such incredible chemistry between them
where is the 3-hour version
I prefer the 10 h version
I'M IN LOVE WITH JOHHNY MARR
Me too 😍
SAME 😔
this kind of attachment is what makes the best songwriting partnerships :') not being afraid to dance like idiots in front of a live crowd
This is only the cutest thing I've ever seen
Hi Stranger.Officially - You are watching the best video on youtube. It doesn't get better than this. Congratulations. You've reached the end.
Great to see Morrissey and Johnny dancing together to the sublime and dominating bass from Andy Rourke. Ah, memories.
Give Andy Rourke some props for that bassline. Actaully, give him props for ALL of his bass playing.
i saw the title and was like ”okay ready to cry? yes”
Andy is a master with pick
Andy Rourke.....crazy good
Morrissey does not walk across the stage...No he glides across the stage !!!
I could watch this indefinitely- they're the coolest dancers, and you can really see what a wonderful relationship they had. I'm just happy that I'm able to see it.
this made me smile really wide and tears were in my eyes... I think I'm going to cry
Oh lord this NEVER gets old.
This is a proper band. They knew exactly what they were doing.
This will always be one of my favorite things on earth. It never fails to make me grin like a lunatic, though it makes me wistful, too. Their chemistry and connection were undeniable, whatever you may or may not believe to have been the "whole story."
Morrissey And Marr FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ok, morrissey and marr dancing-but is that important compared with the brilliance of Andy rourke's bass line?
I think Marr pretty much wrote all of the bass lines too
@@gregdamiano7283 just some of the lines. Marr stated that Rourke was one of the best bassists he knew and that's why he invited him to the band to start with (they were also friends before The Smiths)
Love them forever
This is amazing 🤩 Morrissey really into it 💕love ya moz
Andy is my all time favorite bassist, EVER, nobody can compare.
My last two brain cells the instant before I die
Morrissey, Marr, Rourke, and Joyce made great music together for a short period of time. The Smiths will live on forever.
You don't see guitar players taking their guitars off to dance anymore :/
This Is cute😍
THISVIDEOISLIFEOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
I LIVE THE WAY HE DANCES JUST LIKE YOU WOULD WHEN NOBODY IS AROUND ITS SO ADORABLE OMFG THIS HAS MADE MY DAY ! THIS HAS MADE MY LIFE
you're so right
It's been 9 years...do you still love his dancing? 😂
IMHO, one of the best bass lines EVER. Certainly one of the most important.
What is the song?
@@BRAVEHEARTGaMeRz Barbarism Begins at Home from Meat is Murder. It was the cassette in the tape deck when I got my drivers license.
Andy Rourke has gone. A great, great bassist as you can hear from this. RIP.
Every thing about this is perfect.. I could watch them dancing to that bass for hours!
Still one of my favorite videos.
Seeing Marr and Moz dancing, the bass of Andy, and Joyce makes me happy.
This video is one of the most I enjoy 🖤
Yeah, The Smiths is the best band 👏
I love them so much, I want to cry
Andy Rourke is criminally underated when it comes to people name-checking bass players. I found this song abit difficult to play for a while and I've been playing for 8 years!
moz dances like a drunk uncle at a wedding
I can't with this video!!! They were so adorable
Such friends they were!
Rourke really shines on the live recordings!
it's like they've created they're own style of dancing
This is the most adorable thing ever. Johnny is one of the greatest people 💖
They literally did seem like good friends back then
Andy Rourke has made mention several times of the influence of bassist Mick Karn from the band Japan on his style.

Andrew Palmer keep up the legacy
This is great! The album Meat Is Murder had such variety to it, showcasing the bands ability to write many styles of music. This song is a funk song, and its great to see them dancing, Morrissey and Johnny, with the rhythm section providing the groove.
And the drums at the end, with just them and Moz dancing. Fantastic. :)
God I love them dancing together!
I like to believe that the whole crowd dances with them together in this moment.💗
morrissey and marr awesome marr when he dance with that guitar awesome there awesome amazing band
Wow! What a funky bassline!
always make me smile with nostalgia and respect
Brilliant and hilarious.
Why this video makes me so happy?
they look awesome
Legend. The Smiths yes it’s easy to dance when Morrissey leads and Andy keeps a good beat. Love this band forever.
they look so cute ♡
I absolutely love everything about this video.
Miss you Andy the bass Gods have you now.
