@@LaughingStock_ you stated the essencial here. O' course Morrissey and Marr blah blah blah, but what about the extremengly sensitive kitchen of Rourke and Joyce...?
I gotta say, at this point, knowing what we know about Mozz and having seen Marr live, I would genuinely almost prefer a Joyce/Rourke/Marr lineup without the bastard. Love those old records, but feel considerably better giving Johnny my money than our lost old friend Steven. He certainly wrote some of my personal favorite lyrics ever, but to answer the OP’s question with another question… Now imagine this beautiful scene ruined by Morrissey using his platform to progress divisive far right rhetoric. Because we all know who he is, what he does, and it’s not likely that my vision of things would be far from the truth.
Marr during the smiths is by far my favorite composer but Morrissey's vocal melodies & lyrics are what made Smiths songs more than just songs. Love them both and dread the day either leave this world.
Morrissey is a lifetime dickhead troll, his statements have included racism as well as other intentionally offensive stuff. But I do know what you mean, much of the distinctive idiosyncrasies of the smiths vocal parts are probably only the way they are because of his personality.
Had a chance to see Johnny Marr recently in concert with The Killers. He was excellent, really had a great vibe and you can tell he really enjoyed performing for the audience. Glad I got a chance to see him live. Performed several of his own hits and a couple of Smiths songs. Came back on stage with Killers for the encore and performed this song.
The greatest indie tune of all time, when I went to Salford lads club it was magical and the smiths room was amazing my Mrs was like why you so excited to walk down coronation Street to the famous green door and now she knows why she loves the smiths, Marr and morrisey as much as me now.
I'm going to need to do this next time in Manchester. Like when I was in Edinburgh I wanted to go to the underpass used in trainspotting when rentons getting chased. Eventually I found it after searching for a half hour lol My ex at the time didn't get why I wanted to find it so much. BECAUSE ITS ICONIC
His use of notes is exquisite. Saw him at The Hacienda in 1983 age 16, I hadn’t seen much, but never seen anything like him. Melody just floods out of him.
As much as i like Marr, truly, people must stop to say he was the heart of the Smiths. Saw, Smith in concert, saw Morrisey alone, saw Marr. Please people, take charisma, voice, emotions. No contest Morrisey has go it hands down. Long life to Marr, morrisey and who know.. the Smiths one day.
Cheers. I agree 100% with you, and besides being such a star, he's very accessible. I waited for him at the end of the concert and he was very kind to chat, take pictures and sign records. Such a nice guy...
Damn, Johnny nails it. My girl and I being both newly homeless were traveling down a highway leaving San Francisco in California packing on foot with big trucks passing us at close range and nearly blowing us down hears me belting out "If a ten truck,kills the both of us, to die by your side,,,,,,,,,,". She is hysterically asking me what the hell Im singing. She is now a Smyths fan.
Every time I try to play a Marr riff my ring finger leaves town.. my index finger doesn’t know what hand it’s on and you can guess what my middle finger says.!!
I was never a Smiths fan... but this has definitively converted me! JM has such a good sound...tight groovy band too! Damn... that breakdown at 3:00 with the guitar riff and the crowd singing... goosebumps moment!!!
@@luizspindola i dont feel like the band is bad, i feel like moirrissey makes them change the songs a lot intentionally to make them sound different to the original smiths way of playing...but theres no better way to play them than the original
@@JNDSAN95 He's crazy, then. Johnny stepped up his singing game and it's actually pretty similar to the original. Says a lot about how stubborn Morrissey is smh
fantastic version played tonight at king Georges Hall Blackburn, Johnny and his fellow band members were absolutely spectacular, loved every single second of the gig x
he has learned to use his voice nicely.
Considering the burden of replace Morrissey he's doing a good job.
Agreed - he's proof that you can improve your voice through practice. He used to be be painful to listen to, but now he's great.
his guitar too
Totally serviceable, I agree.
Kind of like Noel G. He has developed into a pretty strong singer.
The heart of the Smiths, and great on his own.
No no no. The Smiths were more than the sun of the parts. Don’t forget the person who wrote the words.
They're both great on their own. But they're unbeatable together. Squash the beef boys!
Absolutely!
@@austin78993 YES!
@@MarlboroughBlenheim1 and Marr wrote the instrumental.
Have you ever not wanted a song to ever end
as the "light" it should never "goes out" indeed
Ever heard of "repeat"?
Honestly: in 1986 I recorded a 120min tape just with this track
A very gifted guitarist, songwriter and all-round gent. Always looks genuinely excited to be on stage and not doing it just to pay the rent.
You are absolutely right!
I very much doubt that Mr Marr pays rent lol
Really true.
Lord Marr loves what he does: play, sing and entertain the audience.
That is the essence of the Artist (with a big A).
@@TheGalwayFarmer Indeed. Figure of speech. 🙂
That must be so rewarding to have the audience sing your song back to you like that, brought me to tears.
For sure it should be
Proof that self-absorption and truculence ages less well than soulful talent.
4:25-5:10 That guitar riff never gets old!!
as good as in the first day
I could listen to that all day tbh
Beautiful melody
That’s not a riff, that’s a solo
@LesBrucalifsMedia not a solo but an arpeggio which can also be a riff
Johnny is a light that will never go out
Never has a guitar looked and sounded cooler on a human being!!!! The best ever
So true...
This comment is perfect
I cried when I heard this song live. Honestly I was on the verge the entire show. Never thought I would hear this song performed live
It's very emotional
No one looks more comfortable on the guitar than Johnny Marr...
He's the master!
When I grow up I want to be this guy.
What a legitimate ambition. He's the best
Impossible. Not even Johnny Marr grew up to be Johnny Marr.
@@papafoundry5537 Right! There can be only one...
@@papafoundry5537 Dude, don't kill my dream.
👍👍👍 good dream..
I cannot put into words how much I love Johnny Marr
You're not the only one...
@@acrfactor loved Johnny forever. Love M but he’s such a bitch. Leaves his fans disappointed at shows. Not nice ☹️
It’s amazing how he keeps the magic of the song while playing it live.
Indeed, great version!
this song is like a warm blanket.
Especially with his voice
Never expected Marr to nail the vocals so much. In fact he sounds better than Morrissey does today.
Nice one
LOL I would not go that far but I do agree that he has a good job singing The Smiths songs.
Better than Moz? Put down the crackpipe.
Now now
He makes it very good.. 🎶👍
Now imagine if this had Moz´s voice
Such a shame they aint together anymore, Moz´s vocals and Johnny´s guitar are a perfect match
I'm with you Nacho. We're so sorry that they split...
@@acrfactor We still have Marr,more than enough,stunning show here!
You underestimate Rourke and Joyce. Return to The Smiths' catalogue and listen - really listen - to the astonishing rhythm section.

@@bordercollie1140 May Satan not have mercy on yours.
Morrissey's a great singer, but Johnny Marr isn't bad at all! Love his versions of the Smiths' songs!!!
He wrote all the songs
Morrissey the words
Steffan Hoffmann they both wrote together, but morrisseys voice belongs to that song because it feels right
version of the smiths ????? johnny fucking marr is the smiths
Great Singer , he can't sing as good as me i'm 80.
Morrisey was a great singer and lyricist, but Marr is a legendary guitarist and a fantastic singer in his own right.
When other guitarists play Johnny's tunes, the sound is just so leaden in comparison. He's in another league.
Had a chance to see Johnny Marr recently in concert with The Killers. He was excellent, really had a great vibe and you can tell he really enjoyed performing for the audience. Glad I got a chance to see him live. Performed several of his own hits and a couple of Smiths songs. Came back on stage with Killers for the encore and performed this song.
Sucked for me...they were in Ft Worth, TX and I did not hear about it until the day it was taking place. :(
it's so beautiful to see his little then growing wider smile while he's playing this

The living legend, Johnny Marr
Indeed!
coolest guy ever
and a very kind person
He closed with this at Glastonbury 2019.
He was great!
What a better way to close the set than this anthem.
Yea Johnny played this when I saw him up close on Sept 30, 2018. Awesome and amazing show
Top bloke!
Johnny friggin Marr. Guitar wizard and now a lead singer. The man!
For sure!
he sings beautifully...Crystal clear Voice....so talented man!
WE LOVE YOU JOHNNY F@CKING MARR.....
Marr and Morrissey....simply number 1!!!!!For ever....
How good it will be if they reunited...
This man is immortal.
Should have a statue...
Thank you, Johnny, for reminding me that I wasn't wrong when I was a teenager in the 80's and The Smiths were my favorite band.
Johnny Marr is a genius
Indeed!!!
Very good johnny your the best band johnny.

Much better voice than the other guy and without all the fussiness.
Ahh. I feel this one more than the original for some reasons.
love how the bass adds that melody to the song...
He sounds amazing! Love this song
Thanks Lynn. It sure sounds!
Love you Johnny Marr
We all do!
Marr and Morrissey former The best duo of rock since ever. Better Paul and John
I love his guitar - sound... 💕🎶
Интересно какую примочку использует? Вроде не слышно особых искажений звука Но какой сочный и мелодичный саунд просто прелесть 😍
What a legend Johnny is. Man, for so many years!! Thank you Johnny for that performance and to arcfator! Subscribed!

What a gift Johnny Marr has. Brilliant.
He's the best!
Saw him in London in 2015 and this was the encore song. The crowd went bonkers (especially is 50 yr olds)! Just a fantastic concert.
It's kind of natural. He's such a great performer
One of the most melodic Smiths tunes - love it
Indeed!!!
He is like a graceful angel.
The Man Is A God...
Great voice, and a huge guitar player!
The best!
I'm 15 years old again......! Thank's Johnny.....
The true core of The Smiths. Johnny FOOKIN Marr
he hangs the guitar so low its impossible
He's a Master...
baraksmash he’s strumming on the neck 😨
Legend
@@baraksmash Master of the universe
Haha. You're right. It's very low.

The greatest smiths performance I’ve seen
The soul of this song is the guitar…
Great song, great guitarist,... fulfilling... 🎶👍💕
one of the best songs ever
I have so much respect for this man, so pleased he broke away from Morrissey cos this is sick
At the UC Theatre in Berkeley a couple years ago, he said “alright you’re gonna wanna get your phones out” and tore into this. Charming! Indeed!
Moz vs. Marr? A false choice...both brought amazing game and talent. Respect to both!
God I love the way he smiles at the audience
the king of guitar-pop guitar playing^ unique style!
Smply the best
Salford, what a beautiful city.
City of Salford brilliant 🙂🙂🙂
My boss is from Salford. She begs to differ.
Good for him. Johnny always comes across as a good bloke in all of his interviews.
He's a perfect Rock & Roller I just Love his Music. 🧡 Fucking Johnny Marr🧡🎸🎛️
The best!
Love his John Lennon knee bend dance from early Beatles.
Better singer than I expected.
The moment I die …… I want this in the air
This is gorgeous!
Thanks!
He deserves all of this bless him so much
Greatest. Song. Ever. Recorded.
No. Doubt.
Damn, Johnny nails it.

You bet!
Go on Johnny lad !
Fucking sound fucking fender jaguar awesome I love it

You're welcome!

Wow I didn’t know he can sing that good. I love this guy! I’ve always known his guitar playing to be beautiful
Well this is going to be on repeat for the rest of my life.
It deserves! It's such a great song...
It is so beautiful and sad because without ill intent he makes Moz's crew sound like a teenage cover band.
Johnny is irreplaceable
So true! Morrissey should get a better band to play his songs
