The smiths are a British rock alt band from 1982-87 the front man Morrissey is known for carrying flowers, his melancholic and often sarcastic witty lyrics
They were together from 1984 to 1989. Other big songs "How soon is now", "There is a light that never goes out", "I know its over", "This charming man", "Heaven knows im miserable now", "Half a person", "Asleep", "Please, please, please let me get what i want", "Big mouth strikes again".
Morrissey is the singer, now solo after late 1980s. Johnny Marr is the lead guitarist you point out throughout. Morrissey is actually playing in San Diego on Saturday, Nov 10. Take a look at the live show from 2017 in Chile or the Holiday Bowl in Los Angeles, where he resides. "How soon is now" or "please please please, let me get what I want"(16 candles soundtrack) are great. "Speedway", Morrissey solo, is a great one for new comers...but really there are so many great songs.
@@portapotty69 Don't bother dude. Google the former Town in the 19th Century. And what it's now become, much like Liverpool, Birmingham and Chester. An empty shell of a former self. Lost Power, Wealth and Glory . There's a reason why individuals leave, just saying. Chester estimated 3 Thousand years established Trading Route for the North of England. Now a glorified Low rent housing Estate with exception for their tiny Roman remains of forced White Slavery they haven't yet been pulled down.
@@theboywithathorninhisside.4179 Believe me, I fully expect to be disappointed when I get there. I just want to see that miserable place with my own eyes, to see if it's more or less dreary than Gary, Indiana. My Grandma's family lived in Manchester for hundreds of years, then decided to move to Gary, of all places.
Let's go man. Johnny Marr sound is timeless. even out 1986. Their british from manchester. i think morrisey and marr had really big arguments, never ever a band will survive like that, it lasted 5-6 years. if you look for these nice tunes look for: Johnny Marr
@Thoru Really. As l believe if you do indeed take the Time to re/read and consider the Lyrics. You'll hopefully find and imagine a lot more than the expressive form of the Female Physique duly mentioned. .As with every Track with Morrissey the Truth lays within no more than a simple Phrase and Word, the rest is all ENTERTAINMENT. ie 'Send me the Pillow'. Reference to Ancient conflict with Rome/Egypt. The on going struggle of ultimate Power and Control. EveryTrack admits something. 🤟🤌👌👈
This is an awesome reaction. I can tell you're really into the music! The weed helps too ;) I think the song you were thinking of is Closing Time by Semisonic, but they're actually from Minnesota not Canada
This was at The Brixton Academy by the way. 1986 at their last venue on “The Queen Is Dead” tour. It also seems they dropped Craig Gannon at this point of the tour. Craig was another guitarist who briefly toured with them.
An absolutely wonderful, enigmatic song, but the not the one I'd choose as an introduction to the band. Also, it sounds much better as a studio recording, the closing track to The Queen Is Dead. This seems like a stripped-down version, where everyone was still trying to figure out how to emote and put it across in a live setting. Still, it was interesting to hear this! This version had an extra verse.
Fantastic that you started your Smiths journey with a song from their final gig! A great concert, really showed how good they were just as a 4-piece. Johnny tries harder, I reckon, without a guitarist to back him up
Brixton Academy - it's sort of a small "shed". Hardly an arena but much bigger than a theatre. (One of three London gigs they played in late '86, the other venues were the small Palladium and the much bigger Kilburn National). It's true what they say - this song is an un-scary Frankensteinian monster. The guitar lines are so sweet but the lyrics are so silly - they don't belong together. So no-one is surprised to learn that song was very synthetically / surgically created, Stephen Street fooling around with the intro on the studio version underscores it. Is this what always happens when Robk starts on a "new" band? So much inane yakking - I'm banging my head against the desk and saying "will he ever shut-the-horsebuggeringfuck-UP and LISTEN like a normal decent civilised human being?!!!"
Oh please play Infected by Teenage Head! And on to this. They chose the name to reflect that they were everyman, working class kids getting back to guitar music, in a landscape that was swamped by synth heavy music. I'm surprised you chose this one first, a minor song of theirs, but nice to hear it reacted to. Little chance of a reunion, unfortunately. Apparently they had a chat in a pub about it, but for whatever reason it fell apart. Doubt it will ever happen now.
Man I am digging you enjoying the smiths! But you must enjoy this song from the the original album release. I have been a smiths fan since 1980 in high school. Just a little footnote, on everyone of there old albums they have a fade out and fade in to a song. This live version is not as good as the original track on the album! I plead with you to listen to the original version !

Not rock at all, just guitar driven and this is a shitty live show, Morrissey is a dick though.
A really good rift understatement of the century Johnny marr top five guitarists of all time

82-87
And The Smiths are from England, Manchester.

It's so exciting to see your reaction listening to the smiths for the first time...wow...
From the ice age to the dole age there is but one concern. Some girls are bigger than others

React to The Smiths - There is a light that never goes out, next!
Fuckin love that song too
React to There is a light that never goes out by The Smiths album version, next
Manchester is my place, these guys: Morrissey, Marr, Joyce and Rourke make me proud. Listen to “Frankly, Mr Shankly” please!
My grandma is from Manchester. I will make a pilgrimage there one day.

Manchester Irish. Marr is quietly sublime.
How about The Pixies Debaser?
Only 11 words & 3 years later...
You are me!?!?!? So exactly my thoughts.😲 Respect ✊
This sone, along with zero 7 red dust are my two favourite songs
Thanks for the reaction, this song is about “boobs”
If anything, Handsome Devil is about breasts, with the mention of mammary glands littered throughout the track.

awesome...your reaction is perfect ...lol....
Send me the pillow, the one that you dream on, - is that a reference to the Dean Martin song by the same name?
The smiths had a big influence on oasis more
Really starting to love this guy
Love it! Have you heard Johnny Marr's New Town Velocity? The Smiths had in him one of the best guitarists still around.

Love the review
The Smiths - Girlfriend in a coma
It's funny when you stop right before the third verse lol...
Semisonics is the band I think you mean... Closing time
My favourite Smiths song by far is "What Difference Does It Make?".
No
And please do a reaction video to the original. I’m digging your attitude!
The Smiths - How Soon Is Now
Please give Puressence a go. 90's Manchester band.
Damn dude, took ya 5 minutes to hit play then you pause after 2 bars push play and you'll hear ..
Lyrics for this song are massively stupid ...to beautiful Johnny's guitar work

5 minutes in and you just keep prattling on. I give up.
It's an interesting first choice. Forget Muse, they're like a parody of Radiohead. Listen to Radiohead instead.
