This was fun to watch. It's crazy to consider that, since pretty much all their songs were composed instrumentally first and then given to Morrissey, Marr has such a crazy sense of innate harmony to write something this dense and then think "yeah, somebody can write something over the top of this."

As much as Morrissey repels me, Johnny Marr makes sure I'll never really walk away from the Smiths.

A lot of it has to do with Andy Rourke for me, he doesn't get NEARLY enough credit for what he did for that band.

The rhythm section as a whole was superb. Rourke gave things a slightly funky sound that added extra pep.

It was a good job they were both in that funk band before the Smiths. Also from a harmonic perspective, his work with counterpoint made their stuff so layered. You can get lost.

Get someone to edit out Morrissey and create special all-instrumental Smiths albums, and I'm on board that train.

Just a small point but Mike Joyce was in punk bands before The Smiths. The funk band was Johnny and Andy (Freak Party) with Simon Wolstencroft on drums.

Yeah, I was just talking about the two stringmen.
Ahh.. got it. I always wonder how different The Smiths might have sounded with SW on drums - maybe it would have influenced more of JMs funk side.

My guess would be Morrissey would have left the band.

Or just shoved SW out. Wasn't Morrissey the prime instigator for dumping Rourke over his heroin addiction?
