Jacket to conceal his paunch from view, appropriating a famous image to try to elevate his own, singing a song he did not write, the lacklustre band, on a comedians show. I can't agree with you.

Morrissey wasn't trying to conceal anything the other night in that rather revealing photo as he is comfortable in his own skin. All his career he has been using other people's images to good effect. He's done covers before, this one written by a friend, and why not? Some people on here seem to have developed a problem with Jesse's playing not the band who have done great this week.
Most late night American talk shows are hosted by comedians, hardly a revelation.
Judging by your weak points based on nothing, you probably don't agree with anyone.

He is out of tune, but his fingers are also stumbling over the riff. He is missing out notes to simplify it but he is still getting it wrong. And he seems to be using a distortion effect over it, to add to the horror.

Couldn't agree with you more. The sound was just off. And that is the most memorable part of the song, so it should have sounded right. The crap playing coupled with the face grimace makes a mockery of the whole band.

From Suede? Why do you say that?

Having endured the footage and earache once again I'd just like to say that this has to be the worst live performance by Stevo and the Lawnmowers ever.
How unprofessional to be bored stiff waiting around for hours in the TV studio and then finally perform with a guitar out of tune.
Schoolboy error or is Martin up to no good* again behind the scenes to get him the sack?

If I started a Go Fund Me campaign, do you think we could get Jesse Tobias some guitar lessons? If every Morrissey fan chipped in $5, we would all benefit.

God, get a grip. You're essentially saying that just because YOU don't like Moz' current band, he has to feel the same. And do you know what? What you are feeling is not important. It's actually quite pathetic to dictate someone's feelings, especially since you don't really know these people. Apart from that, he recently recorded with Solomon, so the reason for his departure couldn't have been so bad.

Not at all, I'm saying that a passage like that implicitly shits on someone like Alain, who worked with Morrissey for 15 years+ only to mocked in Autobiography and passed over for somebody who can barely play guitar at the best of times. Morrissey can pretend that Alain, Gary, Spencer etc never existed but that doesn't mean we all have to. Or do you think Morrissey is the only person actually allowed an opinion?

They really do. There's no visible joy or spark to any of them, and at the risk of piling on, that's why Jesse's goofy guitar face really stands out as hilarious. It feels forced and contrived, and anyone who would disagree, I encourage them to look at him playing Break Up The Family on the recent Alt 98.7 session. From the first delicate strum, there he is, looking like Elvis Presley in his final moments during one of Morrissey's lightest numbers.

Jesse makes faces when he plays guitar. So f***ing what?

He looks like a dummy. Especially during Break Up the Family. It's distracting. It's unintentionally hilarious. It detracts from Morrissey's heartfelt warbling. And he isn't very good. Morrissey deserves better to frame his wondrous gift. That's so what.

 

[marred]

I'm not generally a Jesse beater, like some, but I can't decide if his guitar needs tuning or that was just dreadful playing.

Yeah it did sound a bit out of tune but then it sounded fine on that radio show so I don't know what the issue was.

must be a mental illness that drives people to even care or have an opinion on the faces a person makes or how they play guitar.

If he's been good enough for Morrissey all these years then it's his business not yours, and that is all that matters.

And anyways .....

 

[ZOOM FROM GLOOM]

big Pretenders fan and it's a great song to begin with, but I have to say... Morrissey does raise it up a few notches, preferring Jesse's playing and tone, and Morrissey's voice brings much more weight to the song.

 

[King Leer]

Jesse's Morrisette/Morrissey career.

I can’t believe I watched every second of that, but it was funny when Taylor Hawkins replaces Jesse after they introduced the first Foo Fighters music video, and Taylor ended up joining the Foo fighters.

 

[mcrickson]

But sure aren't all US audiences ordered to cheer and hoot by gun toting fat security blimps?

Classic. The RTE numb nuts Late Late Show is in dire need of someone like Moz to liven it up. Irish TV is a joke on the tax payers who are forced to pay a bullshit TV licence to watch semi-literate soap opera and chat shows conducted by lobotomised bland hasbeens.

Man, you've sure got a lot of feelings.

 

[Oh my]

I love both versions, the original and Morrissey's cover, though I was very surprised by the direction he decided to give to his cover... He usually gives his covers a harsher or more aggressive (musically) tone than the original, especially when it's a pop song; but this time he decided to do the opposite. I love his version anyway.

ANYWAY... I was quite surprised by this specific live video and something I have heard many times: that Morrissey has a very weird understanding of a traditional rock or pop song... and it is somehow a cliché to listen to the producers stating that they record the music and it's a traditional verse-chorus-verse-chorus structure, but then Morrissey gets into the studio and does something absolutely weird or unexpected (i.e, not following the most obvious structure of the previous instrumental melody).

His cover of Back on the Chain Gang is quite loyal to the original (he obviously didn't want to make it sound as a completely different song)... and yet there is something incredibly strange for me: the way in which he claps following the rhythm of the song. He certainly claps following the rhythm (which is not incredibly hard, any kind can do it too)... but each time that the chorus finishing, he begins to clap very fast and I don't get what kind of rhythm he is following, the most surprising thing for me is that there is a strange lack of connection between his voice and his hands, the voice follows the rhythm perfectly well... his clapping, I don't get what he is listening to.

Is there any musician who also sees something quite weird in the way that his hands are understanding the rhythm of the song?

(Oh, yes... I sometimes have these incredibly relevant philosophical questions).

everybody on here is wasting their time moaning about jesses guitar playing,hes been their over ten years so theres not much chance of M finding a new guitarist because of a duff note now and again,he played it fine in the studio version so its not as if he cant play it.

He's just clapping double time, nothing unusual about it. He's clapping on 2 & 4 at first, and then 1-2-3-4 on the changes.

He didn't play it 'fine' though - he simplified it; ripped out the jangle; and now that he's fudged it live, it appears that that is purely to facilitate his limited hack 'n' slash, stompy playing... which didn't work anyway. I mean, it's all just opinion at the end of the day. But obviously, people complaining about it think it's far from 'fine'
