I think the fame if the smiths and Morrissey stems from the fact that the lyrics are simple easy to relate to and true to life That Coupled with the music score makes a fantastic collaboration that even now gets you singing the lyrics or whistling whatever your preference 🤣
OK so this coming Tuesday I'm actually going to get fitted for a hearing aid. No joke! I hope it doesn't melt!! I actually still have my Walkman though!! I'm going to find it and put some batteries in it and hey maybe it'll still work!! I don't have any tapes anymore but maybe the radio will still work. ?? I'll always love this song though. It just hits ya a bit different when you're next birthday is going to be 50 instead of 15!! Cheers y'all!
The Smiths were not New Romantic. Quite the contrary, they were in complete opposition to that entire movement and the hedonism, materialism and hard partying ways it espoused, and saw it as a product of the moral decay of the Thatcher era. Morrissey even said in his book that there was nothing in the world that he would have hated more than to be associated with the sound and image of bands like Duran Duran or Wham. Robert Smith of the Cure also said he always saw Duran Duran as some sort of musical arch-enemy, a representation of everything that was wrong with music and society in the 80s, and of everything they were NOT supposed to be. The Smiths also came way too late to have been New Romantics anyway, The New Romantics were mostly late 70s later-wave Punk bands who had morphed into New Wave or Synthpop by the early 80s, and generally already had some hits in the charts by 1981-82, The Smiths were just forming in 1982-83 and started to make their presence seriously felt around 1984. 1980 would have been around the latest date of formation that could have qualified The Smiths as New Romantic. The New Romantics were the bands and musicians that were all over Live Aid in 1985,while Morrissey was very openly critical and suspicious of the Live Aid concerts and those participating in them. Depeche Mode were oftenly lumped in with the New Romantics back in the day due to them coming out around the same time, but the members of DM fiercely rejected the label and claimed (correctly) that they had very little in common with the New Romantics, both in terms of aesthetics and in sound and how they make their music. New Romantics are generally characterized by a very image-focused, very fashion-conscious approach, a very extravagant dress sense, oftenly wearing clothes inspired by the late 18th-early 19th century (which is what brought them their name), very slick hair, in many cases even makeup etc. generally very focused on image. New Romantic music is generally very poppy and radio friendly, with very basic themes of love, breakups, getting chicks, partying, having a good time etc.. The New Romantics were at the forefront of the music video era, and made up a big part of what was known as the "Second British invasion" of the United States caused by the advent of MTV. Music videos, and by extension, their image, had a very important, central role to these bands. Meanwhile The Smiths, especially early on, were very staunchly anti-video, and Morrissey even talked oftenly in interviews back then about his hopes that The Smiths would be the band to lead the movement to bring down music videos and MTV. The music video for "How Soon is Now" was done by their label without the band's approval, and when they saw it, they tried to have it pulled but their label wouldn't have any of it. Regardless, as they progressed in their career The Smiths did reluctantly agree to make some music videos for some of their singles, but when they did do them they did them very differently from most mainstream stuff on MTV. Compare the video for "Stop me if you think you've heard this one before" or "Ask", to Duran Duran's video for "Rio" for example. The Smiths preferred more basic videos, that fit the band's working class Manchester aesthetic and Morrissey's taste for classic cinema, meanwhile New Romantics preferred elaborate, very expensive productions, oftenly filming videos on million-dollar yachts, ballrooms or other such places (which was further grounds for accusations that they promoted materialism and a hedonistic lifestyle). New Romantic bands generally stayed away from politics, both in their music and in their off-stage statements, or if they did talk about politics they generally had very "safe" political views that wouldn't start any kind of controversy. The Smiths meanwhile embraced radical politics and controversy full on, including in their music, being very openly against Thatcher, The Royal Family, the meat industry and a great deal of other stuff. Also, another difference I guess, is that New Romantics generally leaned towards a more synth-based sound, and used more synths in their music, and while that wasn't exclusive to the New Romantics in that period (once again see Depeche Mode, the farthest thing from a New Romantic band), bands like the Smiths were in complete opposition to synths and synthpop, and in favour of more traditional guitars and bass guitars, while still kinda trying to emulate the synth sound with the instruments at their disposal. A lot of critics referred to The Smiths as "synthpop without the synths", they managed to replicate that synthy sound very good without using any actual synths. Now, the logical question arises, if the Smiths aren't New Romantic then what are they? Well, I don't know really. Johnny Marr himself talked in an interview about the fact that there never really was any specific name for the "wave" and scene that The Smiths were part of, so he just identified himself as Post-Punk or New Wave, despite not having much in common with the earlier New Wave/Post-Punk bands. I guess you can call them Indie, Alternative Rock, Post-Punk or New Wave depending on how you prefer. But really, The Smiths were just their own very special thing and sound, very hard to classify or pigeonhole into any specific category (which is what they wanted themselves from the beginning), and so is The Cure and other such bands, they're just categories and leagues of their own.
Johnny really didn't start playing on a Jag until the mid-2000s with The Cribs. With The Smiths, he's most known for using a Rickenbacker 330, that red Les Paul, Gibson 335 and 355. His signature Jag isn't even 10 years old.

One of The Smiths best performances, in my opinion. Moz's vocals are so terrific here.
Moz is showing off in this video and I love it. Only wish marr's guitar was included
Me too
I love how he rolls the "r"'s here
I was just thinking that
כולנו, אחותי. מוריסי זה צדיק נסתר בדור שלנו מה לא ידעת?
It's my favourite version
U kinda look like the bassist from skating polly
And i love you
Vote for O’Rourke as Most Underrated Bass Player Ever. Lines, tones, slickness, phrasing. He had it.

Yes
I am not sure if I would call that stage presence.

Just getting into The Smiths at 41. Best band ever by far. Where the fuck have I been?
Never too late Chris, keep enjoying them!! 14 year old speaking here and I always listen to them.
well done young man; obviously you are a person of discerning taste who appreciates quality (^_~)
@@davemiller8215 thank you! Yes… I wouldn’t dare listening to modern junk!😁
It doesn't matter when you find them, as long as you do find them and love them. The Smiths were geniuses and their music is timeless.
I found em at 13 I’m 14 now I enjoy em as my I first listen to their songs
been listening to The Smiths since I was 14. I am now 18 and never have gotten bored with their music. I strive to be confident like Moz😎
He had so many issues himself!! Don’t forget he almost ended it before Johnny marr showed up at his door…sing your heart out before it’s too late
Been listening to the smith, since I was 21. I am now 60, and never have gotten bored with their music 🙂
Wow......been listening to the smiths for 4 years?
An expert.
@@Tuetensuppenkasperthat's more like it. A true fan
The Smiths has to be the best band ever.
Morrissey took “frontman” to a different level.
Amazing! easily their best live Bigmouth performance, just a shame Johnny’s guitar is slightly muted
Agree! Really good chord changes; nice, nice composition...who the's guitarist on Johnny's black Rickenbacker 330?
@Hiwatt Marshall Craig Gannon
The. Bass. Line. Is. Majestic
Life was fantastic back then. I miss it dearly
The music was really fantastic! Talking heads, Smiths, Pretenders, Tears for Fears, INXS to name a few.

You come to know it's intense when he's wearing sunglasses in a dark place
Gutted I’m too young to have seen the smiths...😕
Saw Johnny a couple weeks back though & he was outstanding!!😊👍🏻
when I want to hear this song, I come to this video
Coolest band of all time.
La Mejor Versión En Vivo🙂
Que Vivan Los 80's !
Cherto cherto
Great vocal!
I think Moz could sing upside down! The entertainer!
Such talent! One of the most perfect bands, chemistry-wise
it sounds like the studio version :o
Damn he’s handsome
Does anyone else die when he looks straight at the camera?
The Smiths é sensacional saudades dos anos 80 .
This is live and it sounds great!
How i would directly beam myself back into these days...
los quiero mucho
Amazing.
Me encantará siempre
The Smiths Amazing!
Moz does such a great performance, and so does the rest of the band. Legendary band really
Bello y canta muy lindo❤❤
Thank you friend!!!
Era de ouro do Roque.da Muinta saudade desse tempo
Magnifica cancion y cantada en vivo .
Essa música é entusiasta 💥Sinto uma força um poder quando ouço o som dessas guitarras ☄
The best song
Eu ouço essa música 100 vezes por semana. Demais!!!!
No one can drum to this song quite like Mike Joyce did.
Solid as hell. Never any ghost notes either. Very deliberate and works incredibly well.
100%
Muito foda!
Como eu queria ser dessa época
Lhe garanto que foi muito boa,saudades.

Awesome unique extraordinary ❤
Love The Smiths! Morrissey love your moves!!!!Arrasou toda a banda!!
rip andy, best bass riff ever.

Esse sotaque inglês é incrível.
Muito bom
For those who didn't know , this is why Morrissey and The Smiths were Kings of the 80's UK Britpop / New Wave movement ...
"80's Britpop" is a contradiction in terms

I love the smiths
This is the fifth time I've seen this video today
those guitars, drums, that voice and lyrics.
How dare you mention todays "music". It doesn't exist!

Amazing jacket and jeans outfit.
Back when men had a sense of style
They have style now, you just don't like this style lmao.
@@Mutiny960 nah they don’t

O legal desta musica é justamente o backing vocal feminino de fundo, o que faltou na versão ao vivo.
É um efeito! Eu pensava que era um garoto que cantava no fundo em 1986! Hahaha

Hahahahah!!!
i like how he rolls his r's

An hymn

As a five piece unit, they were a sound system
Why is Morrissey so beloved in Mexico?
Morrissey, No HAY MAS ❤🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
We love good music
Morrissey is beloved anywhere.
Because he can roll his r’s!
OK so this coming Tuesday I'm actually going to get fitted for a hearing aid.
No joke!
I hope it doesn't melt!!
I actually still have my Walkman though!!
I'm going to find it and put some batteries in it and hey maybe it'll still work!!
I don't have any tapes anymore but maybe the radio will still work. ??
I'll always love this song though.
