It's hilarious hearing Rourke laugh about only skimming through Morrissey's autobiography just to see if he was mentioned. What did he expect to find.

"Andy played bass."

In what way hilarious a bass player thinking he might have been mentioned in a book written by the singer of the band that made both of them famous?

Andy Rourke famous?
Just like Moz?
I agree he was and probably is a very good bass player.
Good bass players are well respected in the music scene but to be just as famous as Moz more is needed.
By the way, I very much doubt Andy Rourke wanted to be famous.
Yes, in the Smiths. With Moz it was a burning ambition and whatever you think about that, he did it.
He is an icon, there is no question about that.
Cheers

Hi Quandox3 :)

before others jump in and gets escalated in verbal fight - can you please read properly what I wrote? Where did I write Andy Rourke is AS famous as Morrissey? Or if that he wanted to be famous? Or if I questioned Morrissey's icon status? My one sentence wasn't implicating any of these.

Sorry musician, I misinterpreted your sentence.
Of course they are both famous as such.

By the way, before anyone thinks I dislike Andy Rourke for whatever he is or has done or said, to me he still is a great bass player and I do hope he can go on playing in a good band making great music. In a way he is underrated and deserves more credit for his playing.

And he composed the music for Yes, I Am Blind! Such a great song and completely as great as any Moz/Marr composition. That tells me he is capable of much more then many people think. I know it is long ago but it happened!
Cheers! :thumb:

Because he's clearly mocking the book when talking to Peter Hook saying the only reason he skimmed through it was to see if he was mentioned. I can't remember Rourke in the book at all.

So? He was there with him in a band for 5 years,must have his reasons. We know nothing, just people on an internet forum.
