  • Johnny Marr, the iconic guitarist of The Smiths, went from working in a clothes shop to founding one of the most influential bands of the past 40 years... as a teenager!
    Widely regarded as one of the world's greatest guitarists, Johnny sits down with Guy to discuss his fruitful but short partnership with Morrissey, how he wound up joining Modest Mouse and making a #1 album, where he finds inspiration, and why he's done some of his best creative work when his back was against the wall.
    Johnny's book, Marr's Guitars, is out now.

      I was scrolling his videos trying to figure out if there were 2 people with that name as I'd never seen it written. Just heard the way I heard several other NPR names that get stuck in your head with a bit of wonder (whether to spell them phonetically).
      Such as rolling Mon-Dell-Leak-Dell-Bar-Koh around in your head instead of absorbing the text of the interview.

    I wonder if Johnny new The Durutti Column's Vini Rielly as he was famous in Manchester as a man who made guitar instumental music. I can Hear some influence in Johnny's sound and playing.I was amazed that rolling stone never featured him in their list seeing as he made wonderful guitar music which was lyrical and unique.

    What is it with this interviewer "Guy Raz"? He can't help but interrupt Johnny Marr while Johnny is talking. Like Johnny is answering a question, and GUY RAZ keeps saying, "yeah, yeah" while Johnny is mid-sentence. The interviewer comes off sounding like a real jerk. I don't know how Guy Raz netted an interview like Johnny Marr.

    This is not a criticism but rather an observation. Spotify monthly listeners TODAY for Smiths is 13.5M listeners. The Smiths were a band for 5 years and ended in the late 80s. For Marr as a solo artist it’s 350k. Marr has been a solo artist since he left the Smiths 30 years ago. Marr and Morrissey share publishing royalties on Smiths. I know Johnny talks a lot about his solo career but clearly he is still being paid by the Smiths. Pretty amazing when you think about it. Must be weird to have reached the pinnacle of your career at age 25 and living off it for the rest of your life. Johnny still finished every live show with a smiths song. And the smiths songs he plays Always gets a Much Bigger reaction live than his solo work. It’s a tragedy they fought and where never able to reform for a money tour.

      Im sure you would prefer What Kind of People Live in These Houses -the not very clever Jesse trying to do a Marr

  • @malcomgladstone

    Marr maybe a bit bitchy to M but at least he seemed to care about him. I do think he could have probably sued M's band for using his guitar style on LOADS of records - especially VandI songs and what kind of people live in these houses and even his newest Rebel without applause
    Its just a shame they couldn't get over whatever issue they had, so they could create a couple more Lps

      Probably had that hair plug treatment thing (or whatever it is) more than a wig. Either way that certainly is not all his natural hair, similar to Ronnie Wood and other guys like that. Tbh, if I was him I'd probably go that way too.

      @@joevolcano6720 the problem is though is that at some point you look foolish wearing a silly wig as an old man. In hindsight, he should have just balded gracefully when he first noticed it. Because you don’t want to be a 70 or 80 year old man putting on a wig.
