[The Birth of the cool.]

Who's Andy Rourke?

 

[Sid Wainwright]

just check out Paul Simonen - then you'll find out what cool really is...

 

[smiffy]

ANDY ROURKE WAS THE BASS PLAYER IN THE SMITHS.

 

[Rowdy Yeats]

Yeah, Paul Simonon was about the coolest (looking, at least) bass player ever.

Andy Rourke was cool, too. I always liked 'Girl Least Likely too' alot, and wished he had a chance to write more music for Moz.

andy rourke was quite a fine bassist, but what has he done of note since then? nada.

Evil, pure evil. Morrissey and Marr don't have a chance with such evil.

hmm... marble washed denim jeans and suede slip-on shoes. VERY cool. Not.

 

[smiffy]

Re: slip-on shoes.Who wore clothes like that?

Who wore those clothes. Andy Rourke always wears fashonable clothes and what ever was fashonalble in 1980s I am sure he wore it, if it was nice.

Re: slip-on shoes.Who wore clothes like that?

...check the tight jeans and horrible shoes on the Queen is Dead sleeve, plus his collection of vile wooly jumpers from early Smiths era..... and he had a mania for marble-washed denim at one point, too.

Much as I admire his skills as a musician, he was no style icon, then or now.

And anyone remember his horrible haircuts, too? Always looked more Flock of Seagulls or Haircut 100 than a Smith.....

that guy is sooooo much better looking and he likes the Ramones!!

Re: Andy Rourke liked to bleech his hair in The Smiths.

It was probably fashonable to wear tight jeans in the 1980s and I heard that Andy had no pants on on The Queen thing. He used to like to bleech his hair very blonde in The Smiths I am not sure what look he was trying to acheve? He was always clean shaven and into wearing deodorant and stuff I think. It is funny because when you see pictures of Andy before he was a Smith his hair is quite long and natural looking and pushed forward onto his face and he was wearing a checked shirt was that a late 1970s thing? But when Andy became a Smith his hair was suddunly bleeched blonde, was shorter and pushed up away from his face. Were Smiths fans supposed to wear wooly jumpers and black clothes, browm cardigans and cords? I know Andy was into Neil Young and Joni Mitchell and Jazz and Funk and Dance and Hip-Hop music?
