    I bet he is universaly hated on here like he is wi anyone i mention his name to...yet "You're Arsenal", "Vauxhuall and I" and "You are the Quarry" are sublime records, listening to the 1st 2 on vinyl right now.

    I stopped listening at years of refusal, picked up his latest album on vinyl, it really wasnt for me listening on Amazon music BUT playing it through on vinyl and not having the luxury of skipping tracks, well its grown on me quickly. Going to pick up what I have missed out on next. I literally cant think of 1 friend I have that says anything other than they can't stand him though :39:

    I say anyone that lets their fans engage with him onstage the way he does is no all bad.

    Johnny Marr is no bad either. Seen a really good version of "How soon is now". He plays guitar using the headstock at one point, friging awesome.

    I meet him once and he seemed to be A charming man tbh but after a while of talking with him about various things I thought What difference does it make and tbh by the end of the conversation I did think Heaven knows I'm miserable now.

    I play 'You're the one for me fatty' and 'girlfriend in a coma' on a regular basis just to noise up my missus.
    Everyday is like Sunday, Jack the Ripper, and Suedehead are stand out tracks.

    As much as I love The Smiths i've never been able to get into Morrissey's solo stuff. He's a * too.

    Love The Smiths,but not keen Morrissey as a Solo Artist or person as such. But love Marr as a person,my favourite guitarist,think he is a brilliant Solo Artist.
    Marr’s Guitar sound was unreal in The Smiths,just unreal.

    Pretty much what everyone else has said. Some great humour in his lyrics despite the perception of most that he was a depressing git. And yeah turned out to be a bit of an *

    Seen a post on YT of Marr playing How Soon Is Now and he basically plays a solo on the headstock with a capo on the fret board

    Got Viva Hate and California Son on vinyl in the post and getting Bona Drag tomorow, its an illness . I wonder how much of what he says is to project an image that does not apply behind closed doors and is said just to convey "Morrissey" the cuntroversial showman image
