Monckyman Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Rourke took a hit when he settled out of court in his royalties case with Morrissey,(who said in court that he and Joyce were as "replaceable as lawnmower parts". He`s been skint for years. Mike Joyce is doing DJ sets at festivals etc now so I presume he`s skint too. The stuff in question seems to be a cheap pickup rig for later work and nothing to do with the Smiths so I can`t see it having any cachet to any but the ultra faithful.

That's got to have been the most circuitous route to that joke on a Smiths-related thread ever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very underrated bass player, genuinely nice bloke too. Rourke was badly advised to settle with Morrissey & Marr out of court & got £10k, Joyce went to court & got £1m. Last I heard, Morrissey had refused to divvy up his share to Joyce, citing his US citizenship exempting him from British court rulings, w***er.

Tracks like "This Charming Man" and "William..." really owed nothing at all to the bass parts... Just goes to show that all singers are tossers.

Musicman20 Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Those Smith's guitar and bass parts are an intrinsic part of the music. In fact, they are probably some of the best indie/rock bass lines Ive heard... Very memorable, and instantly 'Smiths' as soon as you hear it. Shame...I did see Andy DJ'ing at Glasto a few years back, the night before it all started, and he did a good job of warming us all up depsite the rubbish weather.
