A truly fine citizen...Every word he says makes perfect sense. There's no soap box ranting, no politicking, just honest heart felt and open dialogue. Johnny Marr is an incredible musician and a great human being. He tells it like it is, but he has empathy, humility and compassion. Rare in todays world.
Good interview. What strikes me in JM is his total honesty and way of expressing himself exactly how it is / no frills, which was, essentially, the core value of The Smiths.
His hair color is completely irrelevant. If he was a woman it would be okay, in fact encouraged. Stop hating on someone who uses a dye product. Its stupid and meaningless.
@@andrewnolastname2337 This is also the guy that was seen as good enough to interview Princess Diana. He's actually a great interviewer and known as being a really nice guy.
Nima Scolari it’s not the same interviewer, It was Martin Bashir that interviewed Diana, Martin Bashir was a pretty damn good interviewer, the guy interviewing Marr is not on par with him
I read both Marr’s and Morrissey’s autobiographies. It’s a shame they could not give their bassist and drummer more credit for their sound because it is yet unmatched in either of their subsequent bands
You are so limited in your assessment of both of them. Both contribute to music at a level few can. Sad that their history seems difficult but neither has lost a split second, and the lyrics always fresh. I won’t choose sides because there is no need to do so. Both of these men still add to my life. I like having both in my life. It is the two creatives of the best band of the twentieth century. Even though I have an ear & more theory than most, how can I ever know enough to have an ability to rank them. It isn’t possible to rank one above the other. They are both equally world class. I just listen. Two absolute masters. I love the work that each of them has produced. You may prefer one or the other. I will just enjoy their work. Neither ever disappoints. Two legends. -Dan Be the change….
He seems to be quite grounded and well thought out in his expressions in addition to being a great musician. He was terrific as the opening act for the Killers in their latest tour.
What dumb questions. What do you think of the Manchester bombing? Surely the answer is the same as everyone. Tired questions trying to get a sound bite.
Why because he doesn't asq questions like Jimmy Fallon? Mickey mouse questions? This is also the guy that was seen as good enough to interview the Princess Diana.
Painful interview... the activist interviewing him is desperate to drag some kind of condemnation of Morrissey out of him..but Marr is clever enough to give an answer that will be able to be fitted either teams view on it. He knows full well careers can be ended with the wrong answer!
Morrissey = legend for being for Brexit, and calling out radical Islam as well as what happened with lockdowns, etc. marr = part of the establishment that he supposedly like to rile against.
Sorry the center did not jold for the Smiths. But you need maximum artistic freedom and so did Moz. I can somewhat understand why the tension but I chalk it up to personality differences. But the Smiths legacy will live forever. As will your subsequent music. And for those with a good mind, your observations on politics is another example of your talent. Keep on being a bloke who knows what he believes & why. Truly a working class hero. Thank you for the entirety. of what you do. The ideas as well as the notes. Keep on. You are an amazing observer of all that you encounter. Love & respect. -Dan
We must be mindful that 'artists' are outside the hierarchy. We ought to cherish their insight and spontaneity. The current conveyor belt of musical 'talent' operates within the hierarchy of the corporations. The truth and beauty of 'art' will always endure. Ne Timeas.
"What was your response to the Manchester Arena attack?" ".......errrr...........ummmm...........arrr..........errrrrrrrrr.........ummmm............I wrote a song......" (See 15:34) Mustn't say how discusting and cowardly the attack was, at least Morrissey has got guts and sticks two fingers to the left wing media and government.
Johnny seems like a great guy. Very articulate and an animal musician, but I wonder can he truly see where humanity is headed as a consequence of globalisation, the looming technocracy etc? It doesn't appear so
Glastonbury Festival has been ruined by commercialism. It’s largely attended by middle class posers who don’t really care about music, they only go to the event because it’s trendy.
Edward Oliver amazing how you can deduce so much from me simply stating another musician would make an entertaining guest. Are you ok? You sound like you need a hug...or maybe a sectioning.
I´ve always thought that a "The Smiths" reunion is barely impossible and I´m not quite sure if it would even be worth at all. But a Morrissey-Marr reunion sounds more fit. No one can deny that Rourke and Joyce were an important part of it, but Marr & Morrissey are the ones that bring me or take me to all that "nostalgia" and to the memories of my youth. Instead of a "The Smiths" reunion, I´d love to see a Morrissey - Marr reunion, somehow it sounds easier to me.
MAM YES Brother-The Smiths Reunion-Marr Moz Play ANY Smiths songs NOW Audience Raise voice-AT The Very Least Moz-Mar Shows. YES They don't Need it but the Fans WHO Never saw The Smiths in the 80's would LOVE IT! I'd say Who knows-I'm sure IF The Cash was for Charity like Peta benefit or Manchester VS Cancer-Job Housing benefit-Let the Promoters Start a Bidding war The UK and the World could $ure U$E Reunion to HELP! any worthy cause. Bring it ON-Proper. Smiths Not Dead Toronto 2019
I was at that Gig, which was on the South Bank in London in in the grounds of what was at that time County Hall. It was put on by Ken Livingstone but was in fact about Jobs in the face of huge unemployment figures at the time
A poetic and thoughtful account of the Manchester attack- how about mentioning the Libyan fighting group and Theresa May's role as Home Secretary. Really political stuff Mr Marr. Good job we've can listen to your songs reflecting on it and get a bumble bee tattoo instead of talk about accountability of the perpetrator, his father and MI6. So edgy.
He's just a musician from Manchester, it would only be his personal opinion anyway if he chose to share it. The politics are complicated and go back to the policies in the middle east in the 70's by oh various governments. No-one is innocent, and no-one is to especially to blame, it's a cycle of violence...

Marr makes this interview great despite the desperate effort of the activist to try to draw some politics out of him. I wish journalists would do journalism instead of cravenly seeking for virtue signals or political alignment statements like religious people try to suss out infidels.
Only really watched to hear about Morrissey. I accept that the Smiths without Marr wouldn’t have been The Smiths, That said, the fact Marr is on C4 talking “politics” means he has nothing to say except what is safe to our alleged “masters.” You have to wait a good 10 minutes in to get into it here . Still good use of the word “terse” in the interview by Marr. Almost Morrisseyesque .
Why does he have to? He made his career in playing the guitar, not a social commentator. Morrissey fulfilled that role. He’s allowed to say what he thinks in the way he wants.
As much as I adore Marr, you can't deny that Morrissey's wit and vocal acrobatics, plus his bombastic relationship with the press were a huge part of their charisma. The NME were right though, Godlike Genius is a fitting term for his guitar work and songwriting
I think a guitar player like Johnny Marr should devote his talent to perfecting the groove, to further people like Robert White, Eddie Willis, Nile Rodgers, Manchester is Hitsville UK in the making.
Just because it's Johnny Marr, doesn't mean he's right. What was he actually saying? Nothing. No answers or solutions, just concerns and condemnation of views with which he disagrees - but offers no alternatives to. All very much middle-of-the-road, boring liberalism. Heard it all before, Johnny. At least Morrissey challenges conventional views and creates a debate.
Morrissey speaks for the working class, and refuses to conform, no matter the character attacks he suffers from the media, never afraid to offer his opinion even in the face of adversity. Marr has absolutely nothing interesting to say.
Stick to the music, not sure politics suits Johnny, artists are sucked into it by the likes of some very divisive characters who live in the same creative bubble. They don’t live in the real world or have the same pressures of the ordinary people they think they represent. “Morrissey in trouble” for having an opinion, opinions that a large chunk of the population agree with! Anybody that accuses him of racism is merely ignorant. It’s nice to hear Johnny talk down politicians though, he should! A small minority of the electorate actually voted for the current government so who’s representing who??
He's been actively trying avoid being political, so it's kind of sad to see him cowed into instant agreement with this Channel 4 interviewer. Need to watch Jordan Peterson's Channel 4 interview again to cleanse my palette. And it's "Call the Comet", not "Call the Comets", Channel 4.
He may well be a 'nice guy', but he is very politically naive and dull. If he could see through Livingstone and then also got a hint of what goes on with Cameron 'appropriating' his generation, then he also needs to make the next step and work out what that so called 'left' project that he provided a soundtrack for was really about. Blair changed our society irreparably, too (in fact, more so) and Cameron was his explicitly stated heir. So given his part and his concern for his country, maybe learn and speak up about how our nation was dismantled in favour of globalism and technocracy, instead of sitting on some pre-Blair, anti-Thatcher conception of the world. And, perhaps, when you do meet Obama, ask him about flattening Lybia and putting it back in the stone age and the funding, training and arming of ISIL in Syria after you've finished bowing to him. Morrissey was thinking critically from the beginning - his analysis continues to be radical - the New Labour cohort were all transparent from the beginning (check out the authoritarian 'Covid Passport holders only' Bragg during Lockdowns). And by the way - what is with Ch 4 recording everything on half volume so the adverts blow your ears off?
If Johnny was "normal" he wouldn't be a creator of art. That being said, I believe that artists don't live in the reality of ours. That could be why we use them to escape. Trump and Thatcher types will not ruin the world, there's enough of us to do that! Why are Asians from Asia? Why do we all look different. Separated by ice, mountains, Ocean? It's simple.
Ricky - all of humanity and the myriad realms of human nature is involved in a terror attack, it's just indiscriminate. So yes he probably thieved he was homeless and hungry doesn't mean he didn't want to save someone life...
He should of done, musicians do hear the news. Peter Hook, ( bassist ), daughter was at the concert 😢..She was able to escape, not seriously hurt Just had nightmares after She can't shut her bedroom door because of the fear
youre right johnny social media is like inviting every one into youre home think of it like that yea thare little platforum has let the rocks roll over and all the sicko's of the day are let lose
the way he talks about the horror of this new age of Terror but yet denounces Morrisey and Tommy Robinson just too save face? love your music mate but grow a backbone because being cool is no where near as important or morally necessarry as telling the truth!
what because justice should be blind? that's not entitlement, that's human rights. And why am I being persecuted for identifying as a frog? you racists!
If you didnt know who Johnny was , and listened to this you would think hes a politician and not a musician. Your a great bloke Johnny, laugh and talk about your music more than your political views which seem to bring you down.
This is called someone speaking thoughtfully, insightfully and honestly. If you were not so ignorant you wouldn’t worry about people’s hair style which has no relevance on a human being and what they stand for in any way shape or form. It probably costa nothing btw - his record label will provide stylists etc, like every other musician of his standing on the planet. Read his book and understand that he is a fan of fashion and clothes and in fact was his first love ahead of music.
Krishnan Murthy desperately trying to push his CH4 sponsored dogmatic biased narrative on this alleged interview, he really didn't need Marr there, as Marr's comments really weren't important to Murthy.
Why would I ever watch this presenter do anything now?? Why would I watch the rest of it when he won't even let him finish his sentence less than 5 minutes in? Bye,!
Can someone please post the time I should forward to in this video if I want to discover ways to change the world? Several minutes in and there is still this old man telling anecdotes from when he was younger.
Snort the entire gross domestic product of Columbia, sleep around with underage groupies, don't pay tax, and loudly signal your virtue to anyone within earshot.

Thank God she was saved. Being a Muslim myself, we were as angry as anyone else. Really sorry these things happen. Really
Insanely interesting fellow. I would love a guitar lesson from this bloke 😃
Ok calm down randall

He's no good without Morrissey
What a geezer, thank goodness for him keeping some of the legacy of The Smiths intact, as for Stephen Patrick.....

If you didnt know who Johnny was , and listened to this you would think hes a politician and not a musician. Your a great bloke Johnny, laugh and talk about your music more than your political views which seem to bring you down.
Thirty years is a long time tried living in the real world instead of a shell. I was bored before I even began.
Amazing guitarist but very uminformed of the state of the world. Morrissey has a very honest idea of the state of play in the UK.
Sadly Marr acting more like Andrew than Johnny.
Marcus Morrison Morrissey is such a great person to get views about the UK from,sitting in his plush home in LA‼️.😂
What a fuckin knob. Morrissey because you agree... Right-wingers are so intellectually lazy, strawmen are their calling card
Marr the solo artist is bland...Marr the person just parrots what all lefty celebs say.
Only Morrissey speaks the truth
A great musician, a good intelligent working class bloke to boot. No rock star, no lumpen porletrian b.s. either...
I saw JM play in Anaheim a few months in May 2019, I'm obviously a fan. But WTF is JM saying..?
That hair style must've cost a pretty penny.
This is called someone speaking thoughtfully, insightfully and honestly.
