I'll always argue that Morrissey as much as Johnny gave the Smiths their signature sound. Both their music is shit these days, that doesn't change the signature brilliance to morrissey's lyrics and johnny's guitar playing.
I met this guy in 2019, after one of his concerts in Italy. Nicest dude ever! He was so humble and polite; he even took some time to chat and ask questions to every single person who had been waiting for him. I remember him asking me what genres I listened to and if I played any instruments. I was shaking so much, I almost passed out haha! He really did his best to calm me down, lol! I'm 18 and Johnny is literally one of my biggest idols. I'm so happy my expectations were not disappointed, I swear I'll remember that day until I die.
He's so down to earth I told him my lil bro was starting his journey with the guitar and that i randomly try to play it too and he went into the venue to get a pick for me and my bro I was so shocked and shaking he kept hugging me to get our picture taken 😭 He was so generous and kind I wish I asked him for an autograph but that experience he gave me was all I need for my life to be honest 🥺
Johnny marr one of the best ever of telling the whole story with the riff alone. What a player. Now that Jeff has passed I think this has to be the living hero of the instrument. My muse
Omg Guys pls this man has released 3 solo records and a live record if u would have showed any interests at all in Johnny then u probably would have known this.... gosh OFC HE CAN SING!!!
His set for the hi hello tour is straight fire. Just enough of the old stuff if that's what you came for, but all the new stuff on the set list is great
I was privileged to see The Smiths 26/10/86 London Palladium at the age of 12. They closed with Bigmouth, this song is beyond perfection. When God made Johnny he was just showing off !!
Hey, I saw him with the Pretenders on U2's Joshua Tree tour, and swore to God that Jim Honeyman Scott had got up out of the grave to play the Pretenders' best hits!!!!!
Just saw this band a few months ago. FANTASTIC and Johnnys solo music is great. I mean it....if there was ever an artist to support its Johnny Marr. What a band...
Just how young he was when he wrote the music for this one and so many other great Smiths songs and already back then delivered so much amazing guitar work blows my mind!
Do you really think that Morrissey or anyone else really gives a flying one about how Joan of Arc felt as the flames rose up her Roman nose and her hearing aid started to melt?
@@dannywestwood4113 Why are you asking me if I think that anyone would care about the way Joan of Arc felt? It's not relevant to my comment. But I'll try for the sake of conversation. I'm not sure what you mean by anyone, that's a big number of people, so I don't know if anyone out of the whole of the population cares for Joan of Arc. I definitely think she was an amazing individual. Regarding Morrrissey, I have no idea either. He wrote a song about her, I would think he at least got to think about her story. And something to keep in mind would be to understand that the most important thing about Joan of Arc is not that she got burned. It is what she accomplished with the little tools she had.
@@SKYSAW59 , not by us but mention him to other people and many have never heard of him. If you don't know Indie music you probably don't know him. One of the best ever in my book:)
Just saw him open for the Killers over the weekend. I never thought that I would get to heat these songs live and I loved every minute of his performance :)
Johnny Marr, you are an inspiration to guitar players around the world and an inspiration to Smiths fans, don't let Morrissey ruin your legacy, you are the Smiths, no doubt about it, your guitar is all I ever head and that inspired me.
I could hear the thoughts of the drummer and he was cursing mike joyce's way of playing the cymbals. "it's almost over" he thought when he wanted to faint.
DUDE!, johnny marris one of my fave guitarists ever love his riffs and the way he thinks aka his riffs so talented man, the English really know there stuff indeed, i love English music talented people, love/metal from the Norway :)
@@EllliotJackRussel1 DUDE, thats cool, he sounds English though, and i think he is you know XD, but i do love Ireland 2, you guys are talented to exsept for the angry Irish man playing guitar on RUclips, anger ok, but never hurt your guitar!!
Morrissey and Marr need to do at least a few concerts together again. Marr's not bad at singing but he is a God at guitar and Morrissey has terrific vocals still. Please for the good of humanity get back together.
Johnny Marr IS the signature sound of the Smiths. His guitar efforts gave the Smiths their soul.
I'll always argue that Morrissey as much as Johnny gave the Smiths their signature sound. Both their music is shit these days, that doesn't change the signature brilliance to morrissey's lyrics and johnny's guitar playing.
Andy Rourke is super underrated in my opinion and really adds in Headmaster ritual to name a few.
PK Fawful I agree
@@Wilantonjakov The vocals are just as important as the lyrics. Smiths guitar without Morrissey vocals is like pizza with non-dairy cheese.
@@Wilantonjakov sound man, sound. lyrics is not sound.
Johnny Marr is a great guitarist, but his ability to play these intricate riffs while singing is just amazing.
You must be deaf because that was a sloppy mess.
@@hamwamson7580 you must have been listening to something else mate
Had enough practice
"Intricate"
It's literally beginner level strumming.
@@guitaristssuck8979 u don't play?
I had never heard Johnny Marr sing before. Wow!
O duh he's guitarist only
Dude - I’ve seen Marr live x2 in the last 12months (in Canada!). Was brilliant! Last yr he dropped his 3rd solo album.
he is multi-talented since the early days ....
@James Richards sounds much better than when he first started solo. his vocals then were truly cringeworthy.

Of course he's no Moz but Johnny's singing is actually alright
I honestly prefer it.
Lukas R. Thank god. If he was Mozz we’d be watching an ageing facist strut his right wing nonsense around the stage.
@@kurainaru no... Morrissy is a born again racist! If you can defend what he's said then you don't know what national pride is ya melt
Isaac He openly supports a blatantly racist far right political movement, so I would call him a fascist in that regard.
@@kurainaru Thank you, everyone else on here seems the think he is devil incarnate. I disagree with alot of his views but that doesn't make him a nazi
Johnny's voice has more of a punk like feel, an edge to it than Morrissey's. different ways to listen to the same song..
A punk feel meaning the just do it ethos, even if you're not very good?
Dude he sings fine ! This is live music and performed with passion !drummer, bass guitars all kikkkin a$$
@@ExternalInputs except he certainly is very good, he nailed it.
Agreed. Johnny has more right to play and sing this song than anyone else on the planet.
Oh...sing it, Johnny! My teenage heart is melting, along with my Walkman™.
Now you know how Joan of Arc felt
Can we just appreciate the backing musicians for a second, the sheer ability to keep up with johnny in this performance is astounding.
I'm sure they know it's a privilege it reflects in their performances
Al Pacino looking gooood!

He totally resembles him..I've always thought the same...Yes looking good!!
I see Johnny's shirt game is still strong.
next level shirts
Could do with trading in his 1964 Beatle wig for something a little more realistic though.
@@blackmore4 I don't know. I think that little patch of white lends a touch of authenticity to Johnny's wig. If in fact it is a wig.

How could someone doesn't like Marr? He is a genius and a great human being.
The director of this video who cut away during the solo. And possibly Mike Joyce and Craig Gannon. Sorry.
Saw The Smiths at Glastonbury in 1984.
Jeez, I’m old.
Delete 💖
come on, 84 thats just like yesterday...
no one is old, just wiser.
More than that, I'd say you're incredibly fortunate! A Smith's concert world be my first stop if I had a time machine
Fuck it tho.
Didn't know that Johnny has such a wonderful voice. It gives the song something interesting. Great.
The real genius behind The Smiths.
Yeaaaaahhhhh
Him and rourke
The genius was indivisible.

It's a great classic indie rock song, fits into his recent live set just perfectly, proves his solo stuff's marvelous as well.

I have now watched several Johnny Marr live performances on RUclips and must say his drummer is pretty awesome.
Great cover! Full of energy. Johnny Marr innovative. Basslines excellent.
I mean Johnny wrote the guitar parts originally so not really a cover
Hes old but still rocking... hes a legendary.. salute you sireee❤

they have absolutely nothing to fight about

Agreed but I'd say their first three together are equally brilliant

Johnny is so good live
He sounds great!
i really like the signature sound of johnny. His choice of chords is always on point
What a performance, thanks Johnny ! x
Never listened to Johnny Marr before. Wow. Superb.
He slipped under my radar. I played from the mid 60s till now. Subscribed. I like his guitars and playing.
Saw him at the barras in Glasgow in November, honestly one of the best live performances I’ve been to
Many a happy night at the barras. That bouncy dancefloor too.
Johnny has energy and spunk!
Goosebumps, baby - great drumming too!
He's aged better than Morrissey in many ways
Yeah, not having cancer helps a lot for a start, cheers x
Like a nice aged steak.....
He quit drinking , smoking ... He has run more miles than Forrest Gump maybe ...
Just For Men
he certainly has, he's not a racist cunt for starters
Bloody hell. The smoke, the flags, the sound. Epic.
Wow, this guitar sound is so great! It’s great to see that Johnny can make it live that good!
PS: thanks Johnny, it helped me a lot to learn this!
Oh wow...god he’s an amazing guitarist. Seeing and hearing him live really reinforces just how skilled he is.
I was really impressed with Johnny's vocals when I first heard him sing. He doesn't take away from the original sound 👍

Was surreal to see this live. How soon is now was even better.
Still sounds great.
Mesmerizing performance!!! 🙆
It’s also interesting that Joan of Arc is still somehow present in this modern society. Her story, devotion, mission and individuality are monumental.
"Now i know how joan of arc felt" what being burnt alive or being forced to eat meat?
