    Johnny Marr is the best! I've spent the past 35 years OBSESSED with the Smiths and his solo projects as well as various collaboration projects. He is such a down to earth guy, almost like he's not aware that he is a guitar God. I never get tired of the melodic unique playing style. Truly one of a kind!

    His playing and tone on Headmaster Ritual are jaw droppingly good. Holy crap. It sounds just like the album, and it's not easy singing and playing that at the same time. I'm so glad Johnny is getting some recognition these days. His playing is absolutely legendary.

    Saw him play a show in May 2019 in Huntington, NY. My buddy is a huge Smiths fan so we went for his birthday. Got there a bit early so we could be next to the stage. He played an awesome show. Afterwards, we went around to the back of the venue and there were a couple of people waiting. He came out and spent a lot of time taking pictures and talking with everybody. My buddy got to tell Johnny that he was the inspiration for his learning the guitar. He signed our albums too. Awesome, down to Earth dude.

    As always a quality session aired by KEXP. You could see how special it was for the presenter Cheryl Waters. A great performance (and wonderful interview too) by Johnny and his band. I have seen him twice this year in Dublin (and got the chance to meet the man, and the legend too), as he was in Athy in Kildare, Ireland for the unveiling of a plaque in tribute to him (as his parents are from Athy). He is such a sincere, and humble artist.

    First time i heard Johnny in my life i got here by listening to another guitar players infuances and one of his was Johhny Marr . Iam glad i looked him up firstly i grew up in the 80s and his music has that sound and forgive me but while i closed my eyes and listend to him i heard some David Bowie es vibe, sound kind of feeling . Well iam newest fan at age 50 but like he said being a fan and i have to agree its totally normal . Today i have to drive for about 6 hours on the freeway so i guess ill have enough time for his great music ! Thanx ....
