@@steve3904 he’s got a great book you should read called “Set the Boy Free”. He talks about this in the book and how he had set up this 40/40/10/10 % split agreed upon but not put into contract, so then when shit hit the fan he didn’t have a contract to fall back on, just verbal agreement and his word against theirs. It was effectively johnny’s band as well if you read the book, he gets shafted in a way. He wrote instrumentals, did the mixing and stuff, and then got kicked out of his own band.
This is one of the many reasons why I love The Smiths. Johnny Marr is the ultimate cool guitarist - nothing fake about him whateoever. Big contrast to the sensitive, geeky, shy guy that Morrissey is. These are the completely different qualities they possess and together they form the greatest band since The Beatles. Amazing, love them.
Oh yes, Johnny is such a cutie pie, with those big brown eyes...but even more than that is his kind personality. I love humble men, especially when they are insanely talented.
Johnny Marr is better than "The Edge" simply by virtue of the fact that he doesn't share his name with one of the World Wrestling Federation superstars.
Never really got into the smiths but I definitely appreciate Johnny, great guitar player and have a lot of respect for him how he wrote the smiths discography at age 18-23 is beyond me
@ PC Disciple: that's because Johnny Marr is, in point of fact, a BadAss indeed. I met him after one of his gigs at the Troubadour in West Hollywood back in 2003. Shook his hand, total respect, asked him when he finds it best in any given day to write and he told me he likes to get up at 5 a.m. and get right with himself and the universe, he said it's when he feels his best to write songs, etc. I totally get it. He has been my guitar hero since 1984 when I first ever put the Smiths' "Hatful Of Hollow" on my turntable (yes, records back then). I was hooked immediately, as would be anyone with an ear for intelligent, cleverly-crafted songs might be. Took a photo of me and him, got the requisite autographs throughout my Smiths record sleeves, and off I went. Dude is the last of a dying breed. After the Gods made Johnny, they cracked the mold. I challenge anyone to name another guitarist who can rival his virtuosity who has ever come along the pop-rock-alt scene since him. I mean #really. Who? Nuff said. Drop the mic. I'm OUT.
I actually got to see Marr with the Pretenders in L.A. Fantastic. He's really the only guistarist they've ever had since Scott who could do any justice to JHS's guitar parts.
True, though Bernie had more glam rock mixed to his style, where Johnny's style more sorta elegant, and a bit moee distorted sound at times. The hair there though looks very similar Butler had later.
an "interesting time" but not an "easy time"...oh well, i guess even the best of bands split up eventually. loved it while it lasted, and their talent lives on in their amazing albums!
if he had blue bits in his hair he would really look like gary holton who was wayne if auf pet. apart from that he one of the best ever players england ever produced.even in when he was in electronic.
Not to be off topic but does that guy at the beginning remind anyone of Bill Murray? But anyways Johnny Marr is fantastic I wish I could play like him!
Am I the only one who can't help but be reminded of Wesley Crusher (from Star Trek) every time they see Marr in the video for The Boy With The Thorn In His Side? I never liked Wesley Crusher, unfortunately...
astroboirap-I know you posted this a very long time ago, But he looks nothing like Richard Madeley they look totally different you need your eyes checked mate
damn he looked like a badass
Hmmm he looked like he was in Duran Duran there
@I AM SOFA KING WE TALL DID well said!
He did
Wait...how is johnny marr controversial? He's the most mellow, humble, and talented guitarists ever.
pen cil The presenter
This was righ after The Smiths were no more
@Pie the interviewer in the beginning
Yeah, but according to a documentary I saw, he tried to get the biggest cut with Morrissey. Being shady with the other members.

beautiful gifted man.
What a handsome man...and unbelievably talented person of course
Alena Y his son Nile is the image of him,,,,Nile is in the band man made
cool out, big style.
Oh yes, Johnny is such a cutie pie, with those big brown eyes...but even more than that is his kind personality. I love humble men, especially when they are insanely talented.
Johnny Marr, The Edge, Billy Duffy (Love era), the reason i asked for a guitar for my 15th birthday in 1987. Inspirational ❤
The Edge would give an arm to write just one riff even close to what Johnny produced with the Smiths
Johnny Marr is better than "The Edge" simply by virtue of the fact that he doesn't share his name with one of the World Wrestling Federation superstars.
The Edge is brilliant.
So is Johnny Marr.
Both nice blokes as well.
Knocking Edge is just stupid.
To be fair, the edge isn't technically good, he's more of a DJ.
I don't trust anyone called 'the edge'
@@plasticbudgie false.
The Smiths, The The, Electronic, The Healers, Modest Mouse, The Cribs, and his solo album The Messenger... Pure brilliance!
He was awseome with Electronic Bernard Sumner, Neil Tennant. Where's Billy Bragg?
Call the Comet 💫 fabulous
i just wanna hug him
Oh my god it's Johnny Marr. SWOOOOOOOOOON.
Never really got into the smiths but I definitely appreciate Johnny, great guitar player and have a lot of respect for him how he wrote the smiths discography at age 18-23 is beyond me

I am looking forward to seeing him in Athens GA
@I AM SOFA KING WE TALL DID he already came in early October
Met him
Hugged him
And he chatted with us for 15 mins
I’m trying
best interview ever cool out big style
Cool out big style.
I actually got to see Marr with the Pretenders in L.A.
Fantastic. He's really the only guistarist they've ever had since Scott who could do any justice to JHS's guitar parts.
Absolutely right. The only guitarist as original as James Honeyman Scott that played in that band.
Yumyum johnny is pretty.
When you cool out, big style 😎
i love him
So young and beautiful 💕
Really wish the Pretenders thing had lasted longer--would have loved to hear the results.
hes so beautiful
oh my gawwwwd he is so hot I am in love with him
love
"i just like to cool out... big style."
_"cool out big style"_ was Johnny the inventor of "chill out"? 😑
He's fucking cool.
No difficult feat for JFM to 'cool out big style' 🎸
Great guy. Legend
Johnny FUCKING Marr!!!!......
Bernard Butler is his schoolboy in everything.
this is true
True, though Bernie had more glam rock mixed to his style, where Johnny's style more sorta elegant, and a bit moee distorted sound at times.
The hair there though looks very similar Butler had later.
Cool out, big style (?) - Yes, disbanded before I was born. Missed out on this era, cool out, big style, big time. :(
My king
THE Johnny Marr😮
an "interesting time" but not an "easy time"...oh well, i guess even the best of bands split up eventually.
loved it while it lasted, and their talent lives on in their amazing albums!
Hothothothohothothothothothothothothothothothothothothothothothot!!
He looks kinda like bob sagget here haha! cool interview.
Great guitarists!
i had a crush on this vj
@damienmetalwind - yep! Edge had the most recognizable signature sound in the 80's and Johhny was happy to admit it.
He’s 24 years old here. Wild
Morrissey, Marr, Rourke, and Joyce were great together as The Smiths. Great alt band.
Honestly, I love The Smiths.
if he had blue bits in his hair he would really look like gary holton who was wayne if auf pet. apart from that he one of the best ever players england ever produced.even in when he was in electronic.
Johnny Marr is a guitar god.
For a moment I thought this was Adrien Brody 😂
@Schumitastic greatest band since ever, forget about the beatles!
Cool as fuck!
A kind of personal interview about John.
*THE TWEENS HAVE TAKEN OVER*
No wonder Morrissey called him "angel" in one of his songs. Johnny certainly looked like one.
Merci.
Does anybody know which song from the Pretenders is played here? The guitars sounds pretty Meat Is Murder-ish.
Cool out, big style.
oh man *__*
Not to be off topic but does that guy at the beginning remind anyone of Bill Murray? But anyways Johnny Marr is fantastic I wish I could play like him!
Johnny Marr... or Richard Madeley????
stuart paterson lmao exactly my thoughts
@Reint25 "Show Me" from "Learning to Crawl".
¿Dónde estan nuestros héroes que traducen ? :(
Did he have classical training many Smiths songs feel like fugues
I thought the tv presenter was a young David Lynch
I get the feeling Jarvis Cocker was influenced by him.
I am.
Most controversial? Huh?
why would he wanna play with the pretenders,?
Am I the only one who can't help but be reminded of Wesley Crusher (from Star Trek) every time they see Marr in the video for The Boy With The Thorn In His Side?
I never liked Wesley Crusher, unfortunately...
How boring Noel Gallagher is compared to Johnny.
Looks like a young Richard Madeley (Or vice versa)
Why the hell has he decided to play with the Pretenders ????
Because they're a great band and were a big influence on The Smiths? Morrissey has covered at least one of their songs as well.
shame he looks like richard madely though
HA HA HA spot on
astroboirap-I know you posted this a very long time ago, But he looks nothing like Richard Madeley they look totally different you need your eyes checked mate
His hirsutism must have been an inspiration for erstwhile Mancunian Richard Madeley. Shoplifters of the World Unite!
Listen to my song - I hate u Johnny Marr
THE PRETENDER SUCK COMPARED TO THE SMITHS, & THE CURE!
HE MURDERED LENNON
what?
sexobscura is this metaphorical?
yes
sexobscura you’re a friggin twat,,,,Arse Hole
