Johnny Marr , Cardiff , Radio One Music Festival Or Whatever It's Called
Filmed at the end of the summer I think , Cardiff University
It was on BBC2 the other night
Christ it was hard work watching that
He's not a heavy rock guitarist or somebody I would be into but some of his early stuff is quite lively
But the audience were half asleep and so was he
Maybe if they stuck flowers down their pants he might have felt at home and played a few encores
Or was that Depeche Mode ?
We're all guilty

You couldn't name a better guitarist than Johnny Marr.

Re: Johnny Marr , Cardiff , Radio One Music Festival Or Whatever It's Called
I saw him about 10 years ago and he was incredible.

Here you go, off the top of my head: Paul Kossoff, Jimi Hendrix, Al 'Bind Owl' Wilson' Duane Allman, Peter Green, Danny Kirwan, Gary Rossington, Allen Collins, Ed King, Jimmy Page, Ritchie Blackmore, Peter Bullick. Eric Bell, Brian Robertson. Scott Gorham, Johnny Winter, Steve Cropper. I'm going to stop there, as I'll be typing all day.
I saw Johnny Marr with the Smiths way back in September '84 at Cardiff Uni. The band bored the pants off me....

Don't be silly
He's a good guitarist for his genre ......student indie
But he won't be bothering the greatest ever guitarists list , unless you are a student

For some unknown to me reason, The Smiths and anti-immigration Morrissey are very popular with Mexican Americans. L.A. even has a Morrissey day.

The Smiths were a very good band and Marr was a good guitarist but he wasn't a GREAT
Morrisey is a very odd bloke . From an immigrant family himself yet he wraps himself in a union jack and talks cobblers about race ?
I personally don't think he's a racist I just think he's an arsehole and doing it to sell records

Re: Johnny Marr , Cardiff , Radio One Music Festival Or Whatever It's Called
I think he was the driving force behind every great melody they produced and a very good guitarist. Unfortunately I recently listened to his autobiography on Audible and although he seems like a perfectly decent bloke, boy was it boring.

This was the 6 Music festival in April, I was there on the Sunday night for Johnny Marr - he was excellent (if you like that kind of thing), very much a '6 Music Dad' crowd (myself included!).

Someone doesn't listen to Johnny Marr.

Re: Johnny Marr , Cardiff , Radio One Music Festival Or Whatever It's Called

I have listened to Marr and I watched that concert . He's not a fantastic guitarist . He's better than most but he's no Jimmy Page .

Apparently he regularly wanted to beat the crap into Morrisey and his Paisley shirted fans

Re: Johnny Marr , Cardiff , Radio One Music Festival Or Whatever It's Called
I met Johnny Marr, in a posh Italian Manchester restaurant at breakfast time a couple of years ago, i have to say he was an absolute gent and a lovely guy. Got photos with him and was happy to chat.

I really enjoyed it. I really liked how candid he was. He was both humble, yet not afraid to acknowledge that he was in a hugely important band and has written some amazing songs.
I've met him a few times. He's a top bloke. He's a big Man City fan. The last time, we talked about football for about an hour. It was when we were in the EPL with Warnock.

I totally would have banged Madonna even though she was well past it, but I would have lost my job. And more importantly, my wife. Johnny Marr is a friend of a friend. It's not like I have his phone number.
