I went (under duress!). My son got tickets with the caveat “if it’s sh#te, I’ll pay for them” - lol! I paid for my ticket - it was bloody brilliant! Now we can reform the smiths without Morrissey! 😂🤣
What an amazing reboot of his singing career! Rick Astley always had such a powerful, resonant voice, but most of his pop songs lacked much to say. "A crack on the head is what you get for asking..."
Watching Rick Astley boogieing to a song about capital punishment in Manchester schools is stupid. This is awful shit. Morrissey called him Rick Ghastly in Smash Hits about 35 years ago, he was right then and he's right now.
You could say the same about Moz boogieing to a song about capital punishment. He wrote the song, sure, but Morrissey still danced around while he sang
Barbarism is all Andy Rourke.
Hey, Joyce is pretty damn smooth in this song too.
RIP
Love. RIP 🔴🔴
A highly underrated bassist.
That lick Andy plays near the end of the track is my fave part of the song.
Hats off to the bassist, homie laid down the whole bassline without melting his finger off 💯
and with a pick, no less. good stuff!
Hats off to the bassist on this one.
I hope these guys put a tour together. Astley doing The Smiths is the Christmas present I didn't know I wanted.

I agree. He surprised me in a way i cant believe
That bass player has nailed Andy’s bass line 👏👏
Rick Astley doing justice for one of my favorite songs ever 🙏
Rick even does the Morrissey mic shake dance, I love it
God I would LOVE to see Rick Astley and Johnny Marr collab.
As a Smiths fan I am happy with this and the bassist does Andy justice
too slow pacing tho
Lol I feel like this a strange Dr.Who episode taking place in some bizarre, alternate universe! I love it!
when a song can be played in any tempo and genre IT IS A GREAT SONG = dancefloor Barbarism.
Rick Astley humanizing the smiths. Who’d a thunk.
Props to Charlie Salt on bass! Great bass playing!
It’s so emotional and lovely
It's a true funk baseline

It's all about the bass... the best bass line of the 80s. Its pure Andy rourke ❤
Rick Shaking It Down👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️🎤
Amazing camera skills!
Oh! lovely!
Stupendous!
I'm telling Morrissey!
Rick Sounding and Looking Rather Funky👍👍👍🎤🌆
The Smiths for ever
Very good!
Nice done like the original ✌🏽
Rick knows the score
Bassist class
So good ❤
i don't hate this
Hey Smiths, other people play your songs and you still hate each other after 35 years...
This proves that Rick and mozz have been swapped after the crash of their 80s career. Rick grew to be the better Mozz 😂
you sound like someone who has paid no attention to moz's solo work
@@sweetnuthinit was all shit
Wow that was actually good..?!??
lead guitarist looks like Rubin Farr
Andy rhoke regen
Sorry to say, but the song is performed way too slow
its bad, the barking was sooo bad
Ridiculious Rick sang the first music cancer single in music history fake
At least he's coherent when he speaks. You need mroe practice.
what?

morrissey actually liked rick's covers...
It's time to grow up.
Capital punishment....they executed children? You mean corporal surely.
You could say the same about Moz boogieing to a song about capital punishment. He wrote the song, sure, but Morrissey still danced around while he sang
@@bondedwithpotatoes0076 He wrote the song, he can do what he wants. Astley wrote squat.
If you like The Smiths and you have paid money to see this, you should be culled.
Chill out man. What are you so angry for?
Fucking hell, imagine hating joy so much you want to cull those who have a bit of fun o.o
Think they doing the songs justice regardless what you think of ashtley
It’s a fucking cover and they performed it well. Fuck them for being talented I guess.
Edgy. News alert: The snarky punk era tribalism is no longer a part of popular music. Crazy, I know.
