    Smiths would not be the same without Andy. Such an underrated and underlooked bassist.

    Everybody talks about Marr's great guitar parts, rightfully so, but Rourke's bass parts are equally impressive.

      Most definitely.
      I think one can very reliably say The Smiths are the most important band since The Beatles. Such an impressive body of work.

  • @ChrisW444
    @ChrisW444 ปีที่แล้ว +14

    Brilliant, it suddenly struck me listening to this that The Smiths weren't all about Morrissey and Marr (love them as I do) but Andy and Mike as well. The bass lines in the songs are often the most prominent factor in how good the songs are. So underrated as a bass player, he was just class and the songs wouldn't have been the same without him, which is why he was in the band. RIP Andy, always in our hearts.

    After watching a few Smiths bass cover videos today, including some really good ones, I have to say that this is the first one where someone is attacking the strings with the bit of aggression that is needed! Great job! That hard pick attack is essential!

  • @Gonzax
    @Gonzax ปีที่แล้ว +6

    He was a genius player, essential to the sound of the band. It's quite amazing that he stood out the way he did when the guitar player in your band is Johnny Marr but he did. Listening to The Smiths with earphones is the best way to realise how incredible he was, those basslines are beautifully melodic and with a very personal style immediately recognisable.

    Yk, johnny marr + andy rourke were a f melodic + ryhmic enterprise running on every song by The Smiths..seems to me they are fully responsable for one of the trademarks of the smiths sounds, those absolute stunning rythmic / melodic enterprise running through rickenbackers & fender jaguars by Marr and the cold blooded ace fender precision by Rourke. Only can find paralell on the music on this era on the Television rythmic and solo guitars section. The Strokes also are heavily influenced by this shit, even if them are not fully aware of it but i bet they are. Long live Marr / Rourke melodic/rythmic session, those brillant arrengements combined together are precious, timeless and one of The Smiths most intrincated secret treasures. Great job on this, my friend, congrats.
