That said, I will run out and by the Healers' album if Johnny ever finds a record label. I'm looking forward to hearing from him again after he wasted most of the past decade.

If it wasn't for Johnny, the world wouldn't have Moz, right?

Until marr-solo.com is up, keep the Johnny Marr stories in here! Now I'm counting down the days until the Healers album is due :-)

Go back and listen to Smiths albums and you'll find there's a special magic there, that generally his solo stuff cannot capture. There is a reason most of his fans love Smiths music more than solo. You can't escape from your past, so at least acknowledge it.

I love how Johnny smartly skipped aroung the E.T. lash that Morrissey said at one of his shows.

Someone has to tell someone at JMARR.com to create a format similar to this one at MOrrissey-solo. It would be greatly improved along with the Q&A which i love if you can get passed all the "so are you and MOrrissey going to reunite" type questions. Delete those at all cost please.
Plus which quitar pick or amp did he use for god knows which one of his songs. it gets a bit to technical at times.

Just a rant...

Let's face it, he is an above average guitar player but he's never really had anything to say.

WHY NOT?????

¡¡¡VIVA MORRISSEY..!!! ¡¡¡VIVA HATE!!!

Goodnight and thank you :?)

And for something different, it's obvious
Johnny is doing something, Morrissey is to
afraid to release an album, because he knows
it have to be good [$][quality],and if it isn't
he's out in the musicindustry and really alone.

I will love em till the end but the musicindustry
will not. I would rather see him stop at the top,
than going down 'pigheaded'.

I'm reading THE SEVERED ALLIANCE by Johnny Rogan, to learn more about the greatest band ever, but I'm getting bogged down in the details of Morrissey's Grandfathers soccer carreer.

I perfer Morrissey to Marr. His words (Morrissey) speak directly to my heart. However, I'll admit Marr's music moves me unlike any others.

I liked Electronic and I like Morrissey's solo stuff. Without both of them together though, it really IS NOT the same. Anyway I do go on...

Thank you for listening,

Ghostman

I vote for MORE Marr stuff because. I'm a little tired of reading that so-and-so mentioned he likes a Morrissey song. Whoa, stop the presses! The Marr news is real news, and obviously of interest to Smiths fans. I don't quite understand why some people are slamming Marr here. I would think most of us love him. The rest shouldn't be such jerks.

First of all, if you flick back through the archives of this site, you'll notice that approximately 99% of what makes it onto the front page is whether or not Veruca f**king Salt have mentioned them in an interview for 5 seconds, or how a Smiths title has been used (again) in the press. Oooh, let's keep this ever-so precious clique just confined to the greying bloke with the quiff eh?

Frankly, if there is hard news related in any way, shape or form to Morrissey - and lets face it, no other individual is more synonymous with Moz than Johnny Marr is - then there is always going to be a glad ear somewhere visiting this site that wouldn't mind hearing about it. Johnny Marr is active (the man was playing Smiths material as recently as last year, for god's sake), and so I reckon this is as valid an arena for circulating this information as anywhere.

Obviously, I do hold him responsible for Oasis to some extent, but that's another matter entirely...

When The Smiths were rumoured to have split back in August 1987, I happened to be visiting friends in Manchester. I first glimpsed the video of "Girlfriend In A Coma" whilst having a drink in a pub, and thought of "Strangeways,..." being such a great record...yet this would be their last? My only hope was that Morrissey would continue his musical career. As soon as "Viva Hate" was released, nothing else mattered! Perhaps if Morrissey did not continue for whatever reason, then maybe I would have found fault with Marr.

I started late as a fan so I back-tracked via HMV imports and first bought "The Smiths", and then each album in chronological order, continued with Moz until I eventually caught up with the bugger somewhere around "Your Arsenal".

By the time I had reached this point I found Smiths songs resembled an old relative - something that smelt a bit different to everybody else - it wasn't where I wanted to be but I visited occasionally just to make sure my memory wasn't over romantic.

I enjoyed Moz (and th'lads) performing Smiths songs on the Oye Estaban tour because it was obvious that Morrissey enjoyed playing them - but ask Johnny Marr to write a song with the sentiment of 'Jack the Ripper', 'Trouble Loves Me', 'Now My Heart Is Full' ..... etc ..... etc and where would he be? Writing songs with an electric beat...

Please, please, do not mention Gerry Marrs name ever again!

VIVA MORRISSEY!!!

I wish you retards who can't let a paragraph go by without quoting a Moz or Smiths lyric would stop being such pricks and try and assemble something constructive for a change. I pine for a net-nanny that automatically blocks out any lyric from The Queen is Dead et al.

This is a Morrissey website not a Johnny Marr website. Yeah sure, Marr deserves credit for helping Moz get to where he is now, but what else has he done? Playing lead guitar for some crappy band. Morrissey may be fat, bald, and old but HE STILL GETS RUN. People still like him despite the fact that he hasn't released an album in about three years, his albums haven't sold as well as they should of, and he charges thirty bucks or so for a concert. BUT guess what? People still shell out the caysh to see him. Ya know why? Because he's still great. What about Marr? He's opening for Oasis while Moz is charging other bands 10G's just to open for him! After their breakup, who was more successful?-Morrissey. Who still generates the larger crowd?-Morrissey. Who still gets more credit? thats right-Morrissey! I don't hate Marr, but he has his own website. Let Moz have his. Okay so Moz doesn't have a record label...BUT people still like him, people still listen to his music, and he gets IT more than Marr.

VIVA MORRISSEY!!!
