Mike is the least talked about member of the band and that’s understandable given the greatness of the other three but I love the hard edge he gave to The Smith’s sound. He’s not as sophisticated as Andy but he gave their songs an edge that was a good counterbalance to the airier sounds of Marr and Rourke.

@@decaffeinatedafrican5997 Gannon was really good. Obviously in the live shows was filling the sound and lets Marr plays with their intricate parts and arpeggios. Really added boldness to the sound. In live shows with only Marr the sound is so thin. In addition, Gannon contribute to write "Ask" and appear in some other songs. Not the best guitarist but Gannon really fits Smiths and their prescence was really cool.

It is weird that this picture was used for this demo version of the song. This version is just The Smiths as a four piece band. This version only has Marr playing on it.

Mike's smiling in the picture cause he knows he went hard in this tune.

Ask is about shyness but the best lyrics concern the bomb that brings the listeners together.

The addition of Gannon made the band sound quite a bit heavier. Too bad it couldn't have continued like that, they could have made some interesting tunes.

@TheInfamousLegend27 Жыл бұрын

for sure he added to the sound a bit but he didnt really make any real strides to challenge the musical direction. for me at least i wouldn't be too sure about that but its nice to think about what could've been

I think they peaked when Gannon joined. I would have loved another album or two with them as the 5 piece, but hey, you can't have everything.

The live version of Ask is the perfect version if you’d *ask me*. The song moves at a much faster pace but retains the jangly guitars found on the single version. But this version is indeed amazing!
