100% my 16 year old 1987 self just choked on his Benson and Hedges Silk Cut!

OMFG JESUS ITS NOT BAD EITHER

My favourite ever Smiths song and fair play...he nailed it!! Respect!

Rick and band are amazing. I'm shocked. Well done lads.Did the Smiths proud.

Lol. I agree completely

He would never let us down

He would never run around and desert us.

Is Rick astley a light that never goes out?

Also Brandon Flowers

@@njb1126 he is a charming man

I got it

Hahahaha

Majestic 😄

🤣🤣🤣

Perfext!

yeah he did

A few Mexican Californians would disagree

So Far So Good So What

What? That he’s able to sing a different song? 😂 Good job though

@@wornyodelrecords If you listen to the songs tempo, waves & feel of the lyrics, you'll know its not the type of songs he use to singing, but like you said, he does a good job:)

Yes ❤

I don't think he's ever really been made a joke of. Everybody loved the rickroll.

Agreed they look so happy to be on the stage

Agreed! If Johnny Marr and Rick Astley toured together I’d buy that ticket.

In the crowd it was an absolute priviledge. He put his heart and soul into all the hour and so did the crowd.

Probably the ultimate Rick Roll.

Who's banging who? Hate that word.. 😑😑 ✨= Banger 🎹= Song

@@wolfguy2008 no like they will reform as a gay sex cult smh. They literally will be banging

Johnny seems to hate the idea 😔

Brandon Flowers, Rick Astley, Jose from Sweet and Tender Hooligans

I genuinely support this comment 🙌🏻

2nd that

Me too

I’d buy tickets to this in a heartbeat. Sounds incredible.

I’m there

Funniest comment ever!

Love that quip almost as much as the performance

The most British comment I have ever read

Morristley😂

Yeah, I mean, I really dislike Morrissey, as a human. But I can't deny the brilliance of this band. Part of that was his voice, but Rick nails it so well that all I'm left with is a deep reverence for how fantastic every one of their songs is.

@@ianmorton1799 why?

He's been playing in stadiums for the last 6 years. I know this and I live in Canada?

Also, though, Morrissey is a good 8 years older than him

and He's not fallen down a right wing nationalist rabbit hole.

@@kermitHSHS I'm not sure that made M's vocals worse, but it surely didn't help!! lol

at least it made me realise what an infinitely better man Robert Smith is.

@@kermitHSHS Morrissey was always a pretentious ahole, honestly. Snooty and a jerk.

He explained that his older brother forced him to listen to them, lol.

Same!

He was marketed as the net Sinatra if I recall.

That’s an urban tale. Rick Astley was discovered when singing in a club, and Pete Waterman wanted to make a record with him. However, Astley was shy and withdrawn so Waterman thought it would be better to let him get used to being around in a studio by having him temporarily as a “tea boy”. Astley never got behind a mixing desk or so

Yeah you got the actual facts the other way round.

Pete Waterman was actually checking out a band that Rick was part of as a drummer. On the night Pete showed it the lead vocalist was ill , so Rick stepped in & the rest was history.

except they need 3 guitarists to do what JM does

@@davoharito6089 Johnny Marr is one of my favorite guitarists, so don't get me wrong, but he was never able to do live what they did in the studios. The albums have a lot of overdubs. On tour they often had a second guitarist, especially in the latter days of the band.

It does!!

@@davoharito6089 tbf JM needs at least one more guitarist to do what he did and his latest vids show that.

Rick would show for every show. He'd never give us up.

It really was fabulous. The balcony was bouncing!!

@walkerbetweenworld I'd say there was a time when a lot of people gave Morrissey the benefit of the doubt over his possible dickishness, but yeah I think that's probably passed now

@walkerbetweenworld from what I've gathered talking to people of that generation he used to be perceived as just cool and anti-establishment if a bit of prick, but now there's a real sense of betrayal from lots of them since the latter side started being more and more obvious

Sería ideal que fuese invitado de Johnny Marr

@@marki7857 Ojalá organicen un tour juntos. Sería un éxito seguro.

Me too

Don't forget me. 🖤🖤

Anyway, this is just a cover band.

@@treybenton2392 i can't tell whether or not you're joking, but blossoms are a pretty successful pop rock band

@@cartermilanhis name almost rhymes with Fray Benfos

This song is particularly hard to cover / play well on guitar. Even Morrissey has done chugging soulless rock versions!

😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

Blossoms are doing just fine 😀

Meh, no thanks. Johnny Marr can do it, but Morrisey can fade off into obscurity now. Such a weird dude…

Exactly! It almost feels like a reclaiming of the songs for a lot of fans from association with Morrissey (that probably doesn't really make any sense given that they're his songs, but it's kind of how I feel)

@@mikebarratt8146 nah I mean I get it, the mental gymnastics I've had to do, to justify loving the Smiths but fundamentally despising Morrissey, it's frustrating to put into words

@@adamgorsky8422 Yeah, so many years of trying to give him the benefit of the doubt despite the stupid things he's said and done, and trying to think 'maybe that's not quite how he meant it to sound' or 'maybe he's just channeling the views of others or being ironic', but the last few years have made it all too starkly clear just how much of a prick the guy is, and to some extent always was. It has made it very difficult to enjoy music which for so long meant so much to me (especially during tough younger years), and I never guessed Rick Astley was going to be my salvation!

@@mikebarratt8146 exactly my friend, it's exactly how I feel about John Lydon and Lar Ulrich, I love Sex Pistols, PiL and Metallica but have to like overlook the horrible people who made the music that I love

@@adamgorsky8422 What's so bad about John Lydon, Lars Ulrich and Morrissey?
