@@joedy5064 they've covered smiths songs so obviously they have respect for them. Not really a question of which is better since music is subjective and they have two totally different genres and eras. That's like comparing jimi hendrix to bob dylan
He's pissed up or jet lagged.? He is a down to earth geezer well sound!! imagine some bass players?? up their own arses!! ive got a feeling Andy was into P-Funkadelic as some of his B-Lines are funky as fuck!! Rusholme ruffians and Barbarism begins at home to name a couple!!
Spooky. I have played rhythm guitar for 40 years, but only last month I borrowed a bass off a former band mate to have a go with that. The first bass line I learnt was Good Times by Chic, and the third was Reel around the Fountain (Hatful of Hollow version) by The Smiths. Both fantastic bass lines.
This makes me sad. Poor Andy is just a shadow of himself these days. The man is a musical genius and since he lost his muse in Johnny Marr he has just drifted aimlessly. That is a damn shame. The drug use hasn't helped either, goddamn it. He should have been much more than this.
@@paddyskate - Yes, I'd like to know too. (But perhaps it's all assumptions rather than facts but perhaps that's just me assuming rather than facting) ;-)
R.I.P. Andy Rourke 🙏🏻 🌹 ❤️
FUN FACT did you know that andy Rourke is 10"7 tall? the bass used in the video is a normal sized bass
LMAO
the humor 8 years ago goddd
LMAOOO
Of course it's a small bass mate! It's not a standard Fender Precision or Jazz Bass size!!! You know!!!
I know. I saw him at the “height” of his career.
one of the best and unrecognized bass player in the world
I recognise him...wasn't he in The Smiths?
@@afkwaalg I think he's not unrecognized. He's underestimated
@@eugenedelacroix4986 really
@@afkwaalg can you read?
Love these blanket statements.
Note to self: If Andy Rourke ever comes over to my house for a jam session, have a pick.
Peter Hook and Andy Rourke the best
this comment wins
YES MATE! ROURKE AND HOOKY VIKING! YES 😃
THEY'RE THE BEST EVER!!!
He's grown since he was in the Smiths
"I need a pick"
"No...."
Bass giant vs tiny bass.
Andy Rourke is a Legend.
There is no way that all those great bass lines are only worth 10 percent. He is a great bass player.
He didn't write them though
Johnny wrote all the basslines.
@@BurtonRdForever wrong buddy jonhhy said in instragram that andy wrote all the basslines
@@ivannext1425 He'll be saying that Johnny wrote all Mike's drum parts too, no doubt 🙄
Morrissey hates this comment
Imagine having Andy Rourke casually playing bass in your living room! Awesome!
Fantastic bass player, Barbarism begins at home is stunning.
Yes it is
Such a genius bass player. He was a big part in the Smiths sound.
Blessings Andy Rourke, family and friends.
i’d love to be able to summon andy rourke to my house on command too
He looks totally hammered
Maybe he is.
It’s nice to see Andy doing well as a children’s entertainer
RIP Legend
The Smiths are the most important band since the Beatles.
Prove me wrong.
no what????? its radiohead clear
@@joedy5064 the smiths influenced radio head
@@luv223s Radiohead is better tho

@@luv223s but you can compare them. And Radiohead is the best of all of those actually. But you’re right it’s subjective that’s just my opinion
R.I.P Andy Rourke. Your work had been severely underated...
Beautiful bass lines. Always in My ❤ 🎶
"Can you play ' Barbarism'?" He wrote it! You give Andy Rourke a miniature bass and ask him to perform???
When he said I need a pick I imagined Dave 504's face staring and saying ''No pick''
!... Andy Rourke is Great but so underrated bass player.
Oh Yes! How could I forget the legendary indie band "The Smith".
Jokes aside I love Andy thank you for posting this
Thank you
Ah yes, The single Smith band
WOW!!!!! Andy sings!!!! thats history...
He's pissed up or jet lagged.? He is a down to earth geezer well sound!! imagine some bass players?? up their own arses!! ive got a feeling Andy was into P-Funkadelic as some of his B-Lines are funky as fuck!! Rusholme ruffians and Barbarism begins at home to name a couple!!
Well theres some mention of vodka, so I'm assuming he's sloshed. Great bassist though, even though he butchered She's Lost Control

God bless you beautiful soul xx
Great band was The smith
This is a bit priceless.
He's pissed as a puddin
what part of youtube did i just stumble across
Amazing the best bass sound
Who are these people and how did they get Andy Rourke in person for a private jam? Holy s#$#
Who's house is he at? Man, that's awesome!!!!! I would have grilled some fajitas and had an awesome Texican cookout in honor of this man.
He played Level 42's Dune Tune. nice :-)
he's lost control
real
RIP Andy
It's got to be tough for anyone to play on that crappy little bass he's struggling with.
+Xcorgi 'specially if you've had a few cocktails!
actually, they are kala u basses, high quality, different strings. sound: amazing
a bad workman blames their tools
@@TheGalwayFarmer a bad tools blames their workman
@@TheGalwayFarmer A good workman would blame their tools also. If the tools were dogshit. This metaphor has always pissed me off.
i miss him
My favorite Star Wars film: Revenge of The Smith. 😂
He is playing a bit of Level 42 before BBAH!
LoveThis
Andy!!!!
💐😭😢💔💔💔💔😢😭💐
Andy Rourke of the smith
RIP 😢
How’d you end up with ledgendary artist Andy rourke in your house?
I need... do you have a pick? Come on! is Andy Rourke the PickMaster
How did you get Andy Rourke to your house?
By asking
You didn't get a crack on the head for that?
well, he would've got one for not asking
Because it's Andy's old house and he felt that he would love to go back there.
Heroin. Loads of heroin.
That's a nice guitar.
:-)
It's a U-Bass
@@DJNocturna - Indeed
:-)
It's a bin bass
@@tellhimhesdead - Indeed.
The Smith? Is that because he’s on his own?
Is he just big or is the bass small??
Joy division is love
heard some mark king second riff😉
He has a great baritone

I think the fact the base is about the size of his high doesn't help either.
How do you know about all this ?
@@paddyskate - Yes, I'd like to know too.
(But perhaps it's all assumptions rather than facts but perhaps that's just me assuming rather than facting)

ur not wrong
top lad, and bass
Rip Andy
Marr and Morrissey should be ashamed.
What's the first tune he's playing?
Good Times by CHIC
@@asphaleios6197 thanks a bunch 🙂
Barbarism begins at home
how did this even occur ???
im tryna figure out the same thing bc like wtf
💖
Is that really Andy?
BBAH IS a FUNK song! *wow* However, SLCA is wrong Bass Legend - get Hooky to show you next Free Bass sesh!
Como se llama el video ? Adulto tratando de tocar ?
That's the shot Andy love jetlag
what the first song bruh ?
Rapper's Delight - Sugarhill Gang
Chic- Good Times
@@barbdrake5999 no it's what plastic said
It's technically both but originally Chic - Good Times (Bernard Edwards)
@@ochayedonald yeah i found out and fell in love with them meanwhile
Oh yes of course, it's the reed
?
hand in glove please!
died in poverty thanks to his 'friends' morrissey and marr ripping him off from his percentage of royalties from the smiths
Greed is a horrible thing.
Sad to watch...

RIP ANDY ❤
