No one would give a shit about Johnny Marr if it wasn’t for Morrissey...hell, no one gave a shit about Johnny Marr for like 20 years after Morrissey too. ?
True.
Morrissey and Marr are equally responsible for the success of the Smith's. Marr owes morrissey (and vice versa) a huge debt for making him part of one of the most legendary and influential groups of all time, and also earning millions of pounds during and after the band's life. Millions that meant Marr's son could enjoy an affluent childhood with numerous opportunities handed to him on a plate, including being able to piss around in a number of bands on the back of his dad's fame (for which morrissey played an essential role, and vice versa). What a grubby, disrespectful and ungrateful little man. And I say that as someone who's hugely critical of morrissey for endorsing the far right.Whatever your views about what Morrissey said or did, his work with Johnny is of lasting, untouchable value. Nile Marr, as a musician trying to carve out his own career, would do well to remember the history he's come from, the debt he owes it, and to show a bit more respect.
Wee fanny!!!
It's nowt to do with the music from Johnny as most of it's decent but the song titles, lyrics and singing are what let a lot of his work down, one good album out of his three is about right.I think 'Once I Saw The River Clean' could have been an Electronic track with the synthesisers and precise guitar strumming. In fact, I think a lot of the music on Morrisseys new album has exelled in terms of composition, compared to Johnny's recent forays. It's not all about the guitars, Johnny. Morrissey's evolved and realised that as you get older, the drum, bass, guitar format isn't everything. There are so many little touches I'm hearing on I Am Not A Dog On A Chain, and strumming on a plank of wood and keeping it 'real' and 'indie' doesn't make things any more 'authentic'. I think, musically, Morrisseys band are not necessarily outdoing the Smiths but they're definitely making music more meatier and intriguing than anything Marr has done since.
I totally agree. It's ungracious, brattish and immature. I just hope it doesn't reflect the general view in the Marr household. Not sure why that should bother me, but it does.Morrissey and Marr are equally responsible for the success of the Smith's.

Of course it should because Johnny himself should be backing Moz because of their history together. I'm seriously hoping Johnny is pissed off at this.I totally agree.

I don't know. Manchester, presumably. Lockdown protests?? If the entitled little pipsqueak wasn't so annoying, I might be inclined to dig around and find out but I'd rather go to bed.What’s the story behind the photo? Is there one? Can’t see what’s going on.

Oh my. i am crying a lot.
