I'm not sure what they mean by using the word 'finally'in the headline, seeing as Johnny and Billy have played together on stage before several times. I guess they couldn't be bothered to do any research.

Gorgeous photo. Properly credited.

Blimey. Their collaboration for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly—on that NME covers CD set—was brilliant.

This is great! Thanks to everyone who posted the media as well!

Big fan of both of these guys, who shared an apartment as teens and ended up growing into great guitarists with their own unique voices/way of playing. Duffy has such a smooth style, much more than what you see on these clips. If you don't know, listen to The Cult's 'Phoenix' and 'Hinterland', as well as Death Cult's 'Ghost Dance' for excellent examples of Billy's playing and writing.

See Billy around Alderley Edge now and again, think his girlfriend lives here.

That's so cool man!!! Obviously, he's just a regular person with a 'job' and his own life, but it would be really memorable seeing him, and/or nice to say hello to him.

This ex Smiths ruins perfectly the lyrics of M and even dares to ruin a Depeche Mode's song. How boring.
And less than 800 persons attended, he is SO popular!

I really enjoy reading your posts, you can see how much it’s hurts you to see Johnny enjoying himself.

Proof!

Why? What does that have to do with anything?

"A hairstyle isn't that important. It's what's in a man's heart that really matters, surely....god, I am so joking."

And the slaughter and the dogs rumor is shite right?

Correct. Billy Duffy recruited Morrissey and the rhythm section of The Nosebleeds (a band that had broken up) and when they played at Manchester University (circa 1977, I think), along with a number of other bands, a review in the music press mistakenly identified Duffy's band as The Nosebleeds (pages 140-1, Autobiography).
