bubinga5 Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 [quote name='ezbass' timestamp='1394220349' post='2389352'] Smiths are OK, their range of magazines, books and stationery are pretty good but their stock of CDs and DVDs isn't what it used to be.

uncle psychosis Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 [quote name='timmo' timestamp='1394211372' post='2389237'] I have never liked the Smiths. Far to depressing for me, and i don`t like Morriseys singing at all [/quote] I've always thought that Morrisey's lyrics should be taken as black, self deprecating humour rather than taking them at face value. I've never seen them as a depressing band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uncle psychosis Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 [quote name='KevB' timestamp='1394205516' post='2389164'] I thought I'd read somewhere that Marr wrote a lot of the basslines or is this not so? Not particularly bothered either way tbh. [/quote] I don't believe that's true. [Andy Rourke's playing on The Queen Is Dead album] "[i]is something that no other bass player could match[/i]" --- Johnny Marr [i][color=#405055]"He started off as a really good guitar player, but as I progressed, he got really interested in playing the bass. The two of us had this musical chemistry that everybody can hear in the Smiths. To this day, I’ve never met a bass player who isn’t super impressed by the way Andy Rourke plays. He’s a real one-off." --- [b]Johnny Marr[/b][/color][/i] [i]"When I was fifteen, I formed one of my first bands with my best friend. He was at that time the best musician, one of the best musicians I’d ever heard. We were just kids. Then in 1982, I formed a band in Manchester and I asked my best friend to come play the bass with me. And he was still one of the best musicians I’d ever heard. And tonight thirty years later, I’m gonna invite one of my best friends in the world, and he’s still one of the best musicians I’ve ever heard. From The Smiths... Mr. Andy Rourke!
