      Yeah it really blows my mind that Andy's less appreciated. I think people in general just have a lot of trouble understanding and appreciating bass. Kinda like how singers are almost always the first to be praised and the most popular. Most people sing the songs - some of us hum the guitar riffs, and some of us are transfixed to the bassline.

      ​@@augart89Nope Johnny said he didn't write them, Andy did. That rumour is probably why he didn't get the plaudits he deserved. It was just how songs were credited. People assumed that because the 'music by Johnny Marr' that he did everything and they just turned up and played whereas on TQID for example, Andy had a massive part in the music.

    North West Lad. North West Man who loved his city of Manchester. Well liked quiet but so loved and respected. The Smiths had one of the all time best rhythm sections in a music band with him and Mike Joyce together. Their power timing tightness professionalism talent (listen the never to be equalled Barbarism begins at Home bassline) and understanding allowed Johnny Marr to go off and do his own magical thing. Marr has come out and said that and this is telling. It shows Andy Rourke's contribution to without doubt the strongest and greatest band of the 80s era. They were so strong only themselves could break them up. His work will be held up as examples to future musicians which none of them will reach until one comes along with his gifts and we get another super group. How soon is now on that one? Morrissey also makes the point that as long as his music is played he will never die. Also got a bit emotional reading Morrissey first words of his comment of ''I'm not prepard to do this with Andy'' proves maybe as Morrissey also points out ''He didn't even know his own power'' RIP Mr Andrew Rourke, from a North West Bloke like yourself who you made damn proud to be from our Region. I just have to die and get into Heaven now cause that's the only way I'll see The Smiths reform completely. I'm not sad I'm just happy that You was amongst us in the first place with your musical gift. Thank You.

      I just recently had a painful and traumatic experience, I'm 48 ... I strapped my headphones on and listened to The Smiths, and just like they did when I was 14 and going through depression and family abuse, they helped me immensely, hearing Morrissey's voice and those songs brought instant relief, I still cried for a while but it helped me in a way that is hard to put in words. I'm always so irritated when people describe The Smiths as depressing! Because as so many of us know, those songs have the opposite effect on people who are genuinely feeling distressed and depressed. I'm glad you've discovered The Smiths, I have thought about the inevitable "earthly "demise" of Morrissey and how it will f me up, now having to deal with the death of a much loved member of The Smiths, Andy Rourke, such a funny and lovely talented guy. I think I might have to listen to some Smiths and remember how brilliant and talented he was. Much love from a fellow fan.

My love, and my absolute sadness is shared by all of us, the family of fans that we have found, thanks to these boys, united by the love of their art....i have never felt closer to every Smiths fan as I do right now, and my heart, as always, but even stronger now, goes out to Morrissey, Johnny and Mike. Andy was 1/4 of every Smiths song written, and right now, it feels as if theres a big hole in the world and its never going to be filled again.

    My 32 year old neighbor got pancreatic cancer when I lived in New York city in the 1990s and I was honest with him, I told him to party it up as long as he can, engage in love as much as possible because there was no hope for him to live longer than a year, that everybody dies but his death date was sped up, but sadly he didn't listen to me.
    He fell into the hospital/hope torture circle and they did all the ancient medical procedures to suck as much money out of him as possible, radiation, poison, then they reamed his insurance by locking him in a bed completely devoid of freedom while pumping him full of drugs and then he died. Absolutely disgusting.

      ​@@Branflakes1503The passing of time doesn't make it untrue. Morrissey had/has total contempt and apathy for both Joyce and Rourke [when Rourke was still alive]. He downplayed and apathetically dismissed their indispensable contributions on both The Smiths' music, as well as his own solo work.
      Last but certainly not least, it's because of Morrissey being a sad, arrogant, insecure and vindictive puff that the world and more importantly, the fans who made The Smiths and he himself, superstars, never got and now will never get a true Smiths reunion...

    So many bass players are the best bands secret weapon....that go relatively unnoticed but in fact are the nexus of a bands groove. Iron Maiden, The Cure, Nirvana, Queen, New Order....and The Smiths. Rourke's bass was unbelievably intricate and very unique and special. Also not lost in the mix, but front and center where it deserved to be.
    Then, he had to be good if he was rhythm the Marrs extraordinary and also unique guitar playing, which is just as intricate and forever fascinating.
    Like The Smiths still are.
    Anyway...he's and immortal, the music is forever and people discover it still everyday.
