@@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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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!!!
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.
Johnny Marr assim como Morrissey fizeram um grande trabalho na história do Rock internacional. São dois ícones. Grandes artistas. Johnny Marr as well as Morrissey did a great job in international rock history. They are two icons. Great artists.
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.
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.
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. 🙂
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
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
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..
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
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.. 🎶👍
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
No one looks more comfortable on the guitar than Johnny Marr...
He's the master!
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.

@@dfpguitar yup yup so at the end of the day, glad he's the person he is :)
@@dfpguitar, may Satan have mercy on your soul.
@@bordercollie1140 May Satan not have mercy on yours.
Proof that self-absorption and truculence ages less well than soulful talent.
it's so beautiful to see his little then growing wider smile while he's playing this
He was indeed made for this…
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!
The living legend, Johnny Marr
Indeed!
When other guitarists play Johnny's tunes, the sound is just so leaden in comparison. He's in another league.
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.
Unmissable for someone who visit Manchester...
It is being from Brum love visiting Manchester

Johnny friggin Marr. Guitar wizard and now a lead singer. The man!
For sure!
This man is immortal.
Should have a statue...
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.
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.
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. :(
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.
he sings beautifully...Crystal clear Voice....so talented man!
Very good johnny your the best band johnny.
WE LOVE YOU JOHNNY F@CKING MARR.....
love how the bass adds that melody to the song...
Johnny Marr is a genius
Indeed!!!
Marr and Morrissey....simply number 1!!!!!For ever....
How good it will be if they reunited...
What a legend Johnny is. Man, for so many years!! Thank you Johnny for that performance and to arcfator! Subscribed!
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...

Thanks Lynn. It sure sounds!
The Man Is A God...
What a gift Johnny Marr has. Brilliant.
He's the best!
He is like a graceful angel.
I'm 15 years old again......! Thank's Johnny.....
One of the most melodic Smiths tunes - love it
Indeed!!!

The greatest smiths performance I’ve seen
I love his guitar - sound... 💕🎶
Интересно какую примочку использует? Вроде не слышно особых искажений звука Но какой сочный и мелодичный саунд просто прелесть 😍
Legend, Johnny Marr
one of the best songs ever
Fabulous Flashing Fingers...thank you Mister Johnny Melody's Marr 🎸
God I love the way he smiles at the audience
Great song, great guitarist,... fulfilling... 🎶👍💕
He deserves all of this bless him so much
The moment I die …… I want this in the air
This is gorgeous!
Thanks!
This just reminded me how great British music can, & has been! Thanks for this upload fella...
You're welcome!
Thanks
Better singer than I expected.
I've seen Johnny live seven times since The Messenger, and 4:19 gets me every time. Never gets old.
Good for him. Johnny always comes across as a good bloke in all of his interviews.
Much better voice than the other guy and without all the fussiness.
True Rock & Roll Hero.
Great voice, and a huge guitar player!
The best!
the king of guitar-pop guitar playing^ unique style!
Smply the best
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!!!
Glad to know that this performance may have changed your mind :)
This played automatically in the background and I thought wow, Morrissey sounds great live for a change...
This is a really nice version...
Maestro Johnny! 🎼🎸😎
Maestro and Master!
Morrissey is the heart, but Johnny, simply the soul of the Smiths
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
god bless my moma for having good taste in music.
100% right ;)
Blessed mum!!!
Moz vs. Marr? A false choice...both brought amazing game and talent. Respect to both!
It's a great pleasure hear to Johnny Marr
Fantastic. What a tuned crowd!
I love you Johnny marr!!!!!!Best guitarist ever!!!
You bet!
Greatest. Song. Ever. Recorded.
No. Doubt.
This...is...AWESOME!😊😊😊😊
Thanks!
Salford, what a beautiful city.
City of Salford brilliant 🙂🙂🙂
My boss is from Salford. She begs to differ.
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!
Wow, Johnny sounds incredible.
shows where the true brilliance was...........nuff said
Right on target!
The one and only,...legend himself.... Mr.Jhonny Marr
A true legend isn’t just the guy who creates an iconic guitar riff, it’s the guy who lets his band mate play said riff (1:52). That’s class.
Absolutely
Ahh. I feel this one more than the original for some reasons.
Well this is going to be on repeat for the rest of my life.
It deserves! It's such a great song...
The one & only Mr Marr
Marr the best!!!!!!
Damn, Johnny nails it.
