Johnny Marr & Jon Savage - Interview - Rolling Stone Magazine

[marred]

I can't get into any of Marr's solo work, even after seeing it live, which I guess worked out well because he didn't play a lot of it, he knows people weren't there for it.
His interviews are so monotonous, esp the last answer in which he says he hated touring with the Smiths. He said it before, word for word, and no one even asked him.
He tries to make himself sound so deep and intellectual but he's just a bumbling idiot.

I saw him live twice and he definitely knows how to put on a show but yes filling the show with Smiths stuff and songs from Electronic does help.
This interview is one of the few interesting ones before he started complaining about Morrissey being his black cloud.



and just cause I thought of it...

Not so long ago I asked here if there were any solo Johnny songs as good as the best of The Smiths or Morrissey and nobody came up with anything. I do like his early collaborations with proper lyricist/vocalists (Electronic, The The, Kirsty, etc.) but can't get into his solo stuff at all. So I looked up his top ten most played tracks on Spotify and it includes nine songs from a Spider-Man soundtrack! The one Marr song on the list is Easy Money which I don't think would make it as a Morrissey b-side.

Yeah, I agree, Johnny doesn’t come off well in that one, but the Bernard comment was spot on.

I'm interested in why you think the Bernard comment was spot on.

 

[Amy]

wonderful.
It's worth saying that this was after the court case, too, where he felt Johnny let him down.
There's always an olive branch somewhere.

What about Morrissey letting Johnny down? Morrissey's diva-like behavior on the stand did them no favors.

 

[Vegan Cro Spirit .888]

LePep is playing the 200 seat side room at Pryzm.
what a superstar, no wonder aly and ory have him as god.
and since he joined the Blondie oldies tour, tickets sales have bottomed.
sunk like a stone in the ocean.
make sure you have your stubs for when they cancel to get your swag back

one of the earlier wigs. the dude making the interview is amazed that with the high wind not one hair of the LePep head twitches.
and this must be right before the 10k hale jog

I know, I know. Even so, Morrissey felt that JM let him down - that's all I was saying.

Are you calling Johnny Marr a liar ?!

Maybe if Johnny would have defended his and Morrissey’s position, then Morrissey may not have felt the need to be so vocal.

 

[Surface]

Are you calling Johnny Marr a liar ?!

No but the reality is he said it as a joke due to him and Bernard being really good friends and knowing it would make Bernard laugh.

If it was a joke, it wasn’t funny. Poor Bernard, not there to defend himself .

Great interviewer though.

Bernard laughs about it though, he was at Alderley Edge May Fair the day after New Order played Joddell Bank with Johnny as support and someone asked him about it he laughed saying he’s a cheeky bastard.

 

[Vegan. Cro. Spirit 444]

that explains bernard keeping it real and calling LePepe dumb in his book
hooky cant stand neither
