- The Smiths performing Still Ill on The Tube, City Road Studios, Newcastle, 16th March 1984.
Based on a video downloaded from smithstorrents,co.uk, but with a new audio track added.
Andy Rourke's bass play is the secret key of The Smiths's sounds
I agree 100%
Yes!
He's solid, but Marr told him what to play....so...
@@RoperTunes although I don't know about their detail process, I understand that because everyday I'm telling my band's bassist what to play.
@@RoperTunes I have seen fans say this before but it’s not true. Marr did iirc a Reddit AMA and someone asked him about the basslines and he said it was “100% Andy”. Marr wrote the songs so ultimately I give him the most credit but Andy’s bass playing is really kinda my favorite part of the band. Like if this group had the other 3 and some average bassist they still would be pretty great but Andy’s bass playing is what really puts them over the top as an all time great band.
Do you think any of this kids truly knew they were witnessing one of the best guitarists of all time?
Yeah, playing his best riff too. Lucky bastards.

@@whispersinvenice 1 guitarist bud, Rourke is on bass
@@ninstendo1416 it is called bass guitar for a reason, lmao. i know who andy rourke is, that is who inspired me to pick up the bass guitar.
@@whispersinvenice yeah but u don't call someone who plays bass a guitarist. They would be a bassist
What I would give to go to the 80's and see them live.
Lucky enough to have seen them twice in the eighties, stunning
Pope my left nut
i have a time traveling machine.. lets go!
I want to go back to the 80s. We were all so happy back then, not like in this divisive woke dystopia now.
My left leg probs
That bassline and lead melody fit like a glove, every member of The Smiths played their part and none of them could be replaced. They were an absolute masterclass - what a fuckin band.
It fit like a hand in glove🧍🏽♂️
What a comment bro.
listen to that bass and guitar sound ooooooooooooooooooh dayum
All day....
I fucking love how he just lays on the floor and Johnny marr looks over like "wtf are you doing"
thats morry for ya .....i would do it too !
He's being Morrissey. And god bless him
Morrissey, Marr, Rourke, and Joyce made great music together for a short period of time. The Smiths will live on forever.
They were as good, or better, then the doors.
Good god this is better than the album. The first time I heard this I was like this is it. This is the sound I’ve been looking for. Absolutely incredible.
Glad to see I’m not the only one. When I first heard this song it fit into my brain like a puzzle piece, like I’d just been waiting to hear it my whole lifr
England is mine and it owes me a living - still relevant
dan292009 yea and a few million easterners
@@lukeshakespeare5834 not few, dozen
England used to be a superpower, England used to be so cool, but now it lacks a backbone, a spine, I despise the Anglos.
OMPHALOS lol alright mate
You owe your country something though too.
This band is so singular
There is no such a band like The Smiths
The guitar, bass, drums and vocals are so exquisite in a lovely way
Very very underrated bassist Andy rouke you beast
Not at all underrated by those that care, but often unnoticed in general - but that's the fate of most bass players. They're glue, not veneer.
@@NickHarman very accurate analagy
So refreshing after all those years! The music of the Smiths is the pinnacle of human achievements.
Probably the most philosophical Smiths song, if you ask me
Facts
I'm often suprised the lyrics (and music) of Still Ill doesn't receive more praise.
Yes, as we see Morrissey is trying to address the mind body problem in this song.
@@kukushka3666 my nigga yous right
@@SycFuk2000 'Struggling' with his sexuality or with society's negative view of it. It used to be thought of as an illness and still is by many religious so he's asking if it's ok to be himself or is he regarded as ill.....asking "am I still ill?"
This song will always remind me of summer 2020, when I was alcoholic and living in a basement. The Smiths music is honest about the fact that life for most people is shit, and we must dig for itty bits of beauty.
The bass and drums are tighter than a Nuns quim.
@Alvaro Aguilar Wow, yes how funny, a vulgar, disgusting joke. To a video of Morrissey/The Smiths. Tasteless!
@@meow6766 Get away from here!! It's so obvious, that Morrissey would 100% agree with me
I am the most politically correct person I know and this band is tighter than my sphincter.Well said Stuff
@@vandolmatzis8146 You belong on the back side of the moon!😬🌘
Rourke and Marr were so fucking precocious!!! They were 18-19 and sounding like this.
Always a classic. Lyrics are timeless, beautiful and haunting. I miss these less complicated days.
That beat with that freaking bass line is off the rails
Never a huge Morrissey fan, I get why people like him, but just not for me. But The Smiths as a band are just beyond
When I was a teenager in the 80s only 1 radio station played this. I fell in love with new wave like Smith's, soft cell, etc. So exciting when a new song came on and you recorded it on your cassette lol
This makes me cry, in the best way possible
When the guitar kicks in at 00:14 it gives me chills!
The crowd sitting there with faces looking like ʕ ͡°ʖ̯ ͡°ʔ if they only knew then how lucky they were!!
Jonny turning away when Morriseey lays on the floor ha ha. I love them all, legends.
I see they wheeled the audience in from the local cemetery !
and i should know because i've seen them, but not very often ... *spins*
RIP Andy! 🙏
Some bands you just NEED to learn and respect the individual names of the members because they’re so impressive on their instruments. The Smiths are one of those bands.
One Voice, One Guitar, One Bass, One Drum Kit. Just add Talent.
Markee Ledge what do you mean just add talent? They have it already
Just add vinegar! And... baking soda
Guitar, bass, Drum,, and voice... ❤
21 years old Johnny! wow
1 min 30 secs-mozza collapses
1 min 48 secs -the saviour is resurrected
THERE ENDETH THE REWRITING OF THE ONLY REAL BIBLE STORY
xD xD xD
anarcho vegan it's the best comment ever! 😆😂
@@luizahm it so is
Romulo Ferreira 😃
I think his perfectly coiffed hair was just too heavy for his then-undermuscled frame
Such a talented Lyricist, they're awesome. The lead guitarist will always be my favorite.
JM RULES .....A LEGEND
Can you imagine if Morrissey died in 1987 he would be an absolute God.
he survived and still is
@@JK2OJacko but he's an asshole
@@pedromendivil1616 who the fuck are you then?
He’d have been 28.
@@pedromendivil1616 Nah, he's the saviour of the UK. And sometimes it takes an asshole.
Look at those girls looking at Morrisey. "I'm not supposed to fancy a man like this. what's going on?"
soundtrack to a sunday
Its Sunday right now and I thats The most truly coment so far!
Literally me rn lmao
Everyday is like sunday...
Absolutely beautiful. Thank you for uploading this gem.
Está canción me salvo la vida ❤️
one of the best that ever did it
MY FAVE ALONG HEADMASTERS RITUAL
The guitar sounds better than on the album version, and also, what he's playing on his guitar is so clever the chorus part just makes me feel so good inside and it's like just a few notes lol ♥
indeed, anyone can play a lot of notes fast, the art is cutting them down to the ones that really matter at the right moment.
@@NickHarman Yeah well said :)
And thanks I literally just woke up and I could really listen to this song right now! :)
God bless these four men!
The Smiths foi um sonho,muito pena quê acordamos.
Andy played that bass like a back up guitar which further added to the melody.
Not really
@@leobass8259 you can literally hear the 2 different melodies playing at once
I didn’t think the audience was going to clap at the end. I thought they’d just snap their fingers once in enthusiasm for the band. Epic.
God I fucking love Morrissey on this one
Hermoso.
Johnny seems to be be struggling with the tempo throughout. This was a very bass-heavy mix on the Tube - I think it was geared towards the highlight of this performance, which was the preview of Barbarism, which followed.
The people in the front who are watching with no expressions what so ever probably had no idea how to react to such a fresh and original band. They were probably so used to average 80s acts so seeing The Smiths was like some fucking fever dream for them.
"Average 80's acts????" You need an education. Start with Aztec Camera, move on to The Specials, Spandau Ballet, Human League
@@scinformation7229 give up, please.
Most of them had no clue as to what great songwriting and skill they're witnessing
0:14 Nice Bass omfg❤❤
what's with the flower's in the pocket?
3:01 Epic
One would think the crowd is disinterested, but indeed they were in awe. As I would be.
i luv this song !
The Smiths crushed this performance more than Morrissey crushed those flowers!!
I decree today that life is simply taken and not given!
WHEN HE FELL ON THE FLOOR I STARTED DYING 😭😭😭
Man what a band
Literally from my soul
yes.
R.I.P Andy ❤️❤️
Dead crowd
Damn another person that likes X and the smiths
Just a music TV show audience.
"I decree today that life is simply taking and not giving, England is mine and it owes me a living..."
"Does the body rule the mind or does mind rule the body? I dunno..."
Morrissey... the most anti-anti of all that is or could be anti-anti : - except John Lennon, the original anti-pop star of them all. Only a true pop-star would deny that he is a pop-star. It goes to follow that Lennon and Morrissey would have got on famously.
Eterno andy ❤
v intelligent band.
1. still ill 2. what difference does it make 3. handsome devil 4. girl afraid 5. big mouth strikes again 6. hand in glove 7. the queen is dead. 8. how soon is now 9. frankly Mr shankly 10. I want the one I can't have. are the top ten smith songs no order lol
excellent list.
It's impossible to rank The Smiths songs, they're all great. Please Please Please let me get what I want, That joke isn't funny anymore....
Wtf abour the headmaster ritual
Panic
What she said.
Does the body rule the mind? or Does the mind rule the mind? IDK...
Morrissey Rules!!!! Take that Justin Bieber! Tattoos don't make the man!
I love
from
japan
I wish they'd kept it together and made a few more albums. Morrissey's solo work has been hit and miss. His last couple of albums have been kinda weak.
I know it's over, still I cling..
Unforgettable rythm of the Nineties
1984 bro..
@@zulutwenty5546 to be fair, 90s music was largely a reproduction of 80s indie rock such as The Smiths, Replacements, Husker Du, Housemartins
Is there a chorus effect on the guitar?
almost always chorus effect, in most 80s guitar tracks
Johnny Marr used the Roland Jazz Chorus 120 amp as part of his live set and he also used the Boss CE 2 chorus pedal.
I'm pretty certain that Andy Rourke is using a chorus effect on his bass as well.
It was quite a popular effect for most 80s guitarists.
Pero ya no podemos aferrarnos a los viejos sueños...
I think this live is the best version of this song.
Johnny marr looks so cute with turtle necks
best band ever
Genius
Had to listen to this to wash the bad taste of 'spent the day in bed' out of my mouth!
You Are The Quarry is a genius album, tho
It grows on you
Στην λευκη με αγαπη αλεξανδρος 1991 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
i wanna live my 20s there :(
Best band ever
Ritmo + candides = The smiths
I love how moz just casually had a whole rhododendron bush in his back pocket for like that entire set
Comment j'aime cette chanson🤩
wew that bass sounds good
RIP ANDY ROURKE
I grew up with Meat is Murder and The Queen is Dead. I've only discovered earlier Smiths songs in the last few years, this is probably my favorite.
the best
2021
OHHHHWOOOAAAAAHHHHH OHHHHH AM I STILLL ILLLLL 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️📢📢📢🔥🔥🗣️
The crowd is literally just standing there. Smh
I think they're all mesmerized
Jeffrey Day I certainly would be
grizzay fourthousand cool kids in the back are dancing!!! Bless them
i know, i'd be absolutely bouncin
Wendy Gutierrez I forbid you if you twerk to this music, get the fuck out of here.
Johnny Fucking Marr and Stephen Patrick Morrissey.
That's why I like England.
England is yours,Morrissey
jangle
Johnny Marr ranks number one along with Jimmy Page as the most talented guitarists of all time in my opinion.
" England Is Mine !" -Steven Morrissey
You don't want to kiss under the iron bridge these days you'd get flattened by the metrolink!
RIP Andy Rourke you made the smiths.
*England is mine, and it owes me a living*
This is an amazing version
