This is when I fell in love with Morrissey! 😄

@@smayplacebo2435 Awww! I fell in love when I first saw him perform The Boy With The Thorn in His Side with The Smiths

friendlybaby1 Also the Jonathan Ross interview I really enjoyed but yes, most relaxed & non pained. Absolutely.

@@courtneytaylor9006 really good fun and chilled out, love this...

Yes he is totally relaxed and himself

Fantastic job 11/10

He seems anxious.

@James Richards I'll look for it. Thanks.

Unless you're being Ironic. Marr had basically un/officially Contractley already left. YOUR COMMENT WAS KINDA HILARIOUS. Marr only stayed mere months following that particular year. Because of the threat of being Sued.

@@aves8964 Totally agree. As U could say.. 'I KNOW IT'S OVER' .

because of Linder Sterling

As a huge Smiths fan, I would never say Morrissey's solo career was 'brilliant'.

Can you add a time stamp?

@@Wilantonjakov a year late reply but anyway, I would definitely deem Morrissey's solo output, which has been very long and varied compared to the smiths, as brilliant on the whole. Morrissey's best solo work-albums like Vauxhall And I, Bona Drag, Viva Hate, Your Arsenal and many of his songs off and on his other solo albums easily reach the heights of The Smiths. Yes, there has been the odd mediocre track and even album but that's to be expected in such a long career.

@@ravenknight1704 I've listened to all his work, and while there are exceptions, I generally hear little subtlety, and rather very poppy, bland songs that reek of pomposity. There are exceptions - I think his first 3-4 albums were very good, and some on his "Parlaphone Singles" such as Jack the Ripper, which I think is his best song. Other than that, I don't think his work is much better than Queen's, whose music is bombastic and distasteful. Listening to a Morrissey song these days is just laughable, which is why I will always cherish those moments I spent listening to the Smiths non-stop when I was younger. Their music was leaps and bounds above the solo efforts of any of its constituting members. I must say though, that I am somehow finding that I am increasingly liking Morrissey given the role he plays today. He has never strayed from his political beliefs, which were always populist and working/middle-class centric and only now because the overton window of what's politically acceptable has completely changed - does Morrissey stand out. Especially in this crazed world we live in today. So overall, I believe the quality of his music degenerated over his career, but I have no problem going back and listening to those early albums. Tunes like Suedehead, Everyday is Like Sunday, Break up the Family, Margaret on a Guillotine, Bengali in Platforms, even the Remastered "Treat me Like a Human Being" matches the beauty of the Smiths. He has little gems hidden in there sometimes, but to me there are very few bands that can match the Smiths or come close to them, so I guess it's not all that surprising that Morrissey's later work just doesn't cut it for me.

He reached out and grabbed my hand at the “meet somebody who really loves you” lyric and he held it before turning back to continue the song - felt intentional to me too. ♥️ I’ll never forget that.

9-13-2001, Portland, Oregon. He reached His right hand out and ASKed Me for Mine. Knowing how long I have known Him and the depth of Our relationship, I figured He was proposing Marriage to Me so I reached back for his hand, felt the scar in His right palm, figured 'HE LIVES' and said. "YAH, I will...😘😘😘"

He was only 28 here, but I get what you're saying. Mind you, he still looks very youthful and skinny here compared to the Boxers era in the mid 90s, by which point he was definitely heavier (though not overweight) and older looking. His speaking voice was also much deeper by the mid 90s than in the 80s.

Soo adorable

@@arricammarques1955 Stupid comment.

The info on this video says November 1987 but that can't be correct because in this interview The Smiths are spoken of as if they are still together, but they broke up in the August or September of that year. The break up itself was quite abrupt, although Morrissey seems quite subdued here so many he could sense that Marr wasn't happy in the band and was likely going to leave.

his winky is too big

@@MattRobson1 Futility of human relationships

His also a lot more comfortable when his getting interviewed by a woman

See I do wonder if the reason he gets so giggly when she mentions girls in her gorgeous accent is bc, despite popular belief, he’s actually straight - morriseys such a mystery I doubt we’ll ever know…I definitely ship the two of them though!

@@MattRobson1 hmm never heard of that being a problem ? 🤔

He is just being brutally honest.

He hasn't really changed. People think there's more to Morrissey than meets the eye and that he must have terrible secrets or live some kind of debauched lifestyle behind the scenes, but he really doesn't. He has a smallish circle of close friends who he keeps in regular contact with. He travels to England (Manchester area specifically) to visit relatives and old friends quite frequently. He listens to a lot of music. He watches television. He reads books. But his passion is being on stage singing his songs. That's why he tours so extensively. It's what makes him tick.

He's a one off

Cheers, I've just come out of a nine month coma thanks to this comment.

@@elvisleeboy Haha.

I read this in his voice, lmao

Maybe because 16 is a number associated with sex. Age of consent uk

@@redrumtruecrime true but don’t you think sixteen might just sound better too?

Not at all.

It is just an interview.

Yes I noticed that too when she was doing that girlish laugh

Agree Mark...OUT OF BLUE COMES GREEN..superb song..and many more which arrived if you bothered to buy more than their first album..saw them "live" in Shepton Mallet once...pretty damned professional outfit...great writers.

I love them also

Their first album is brilliant.

He must have had a crush on their lead singer, Morten Harket.

7 days in a relationship? 🤣🤣🤣

Examples?

. Basically all of it...but "Hand In Glove" is one example.

@@microaggressionsurvivor2937 always refers to people as you such as on back to the old house

Bulked erased by now?

Indeed!

It’s quite saddening to see what he has become.

@@seankilburn7200 what he has become ... right - i identify with him so much as a teenager - and still cherish and love that person -------- growing older i think something happened.... i think he crystallized some of his pains - he could not melt those pains in human exchange with other people .... and when that happens you isolate yourself more and more - and you become biased and more lonely - it is a real pity --

@@seankilburn7200 He grew up. You should try it sometime.

@@amazinmets8439 Must we resort to insults?

@@amazinmets8439 Grew up? He was much more mature and stable in his youth then what he is now

@@SNAFU78 Muriel Gray is her name

Gabriel Tenorio shaved back and sides to a number 2 and long on the top with quiff

It's called a pompadour hair cut

He meant he was friends with Pete burns and lloyd cole

Could be straight for all you know.

@@thesound-chameleonman3580how did you make this comment 8 months ago when he's been open about his past relationships for years? with men as well

Also Morrissey gets constantly criticized over the court case yet Marr seems to escape all criticism. I guess Moz just attracts criticism. Anyway glad he’s still going strong. And his new album is very special.

Even Johnny doesn't claim he wrote the basslines for The Smiths. Andy wrote his own basslines.

@@guiltbyimplication Why do the song writing credits never go to him as well then? Please let me know where you got this from.

@@seankilburn7200 Sean, songwriting credits are almost always given to whoever composed the lyrics, and main melody or chords. The rhythm section and any other musicians usually don't get a songwriting credit even when they compose their own parts as that's seen as the arrangement of the song. There are exceptions like U2, Coldplay and REM where each member gets an equal writing credit. It's unfair really because the most recognisable thing about a song like Barbarism Begins At Home is the bass line and Andy doesn't get a writing credit for it.

@@seankilburn7200 Johnny has said on many occasions that Andy wrote his own basslines. Johnny Marr: "Andy and I worked very well together. He would come up with his bass lines and I would produce him. He's unique."

Wasnt Johnny dating Angie??

They weren't lovers, morrissey might have wanted it but johnny was clever enough to keep morrissey onside Until the morrissey became too much.

So I guess Johnny and Angie who were already married then and Angie was always in the picture were having a threesome according to you.

utter nonsense.

@@williamking4599 garbage. He may even be straight for all you know.

Stop talking utter nonsense. Of course it looks like him, just younger.

His manner is unrecognisable, not his face lol

What part of the interview is that? I didn't see it

Don't know how you can say anything when you describe yourself as an "enlightened guy"

utter lies. Daft comment. C.

Because of the eyebrows??

He’s got far too many brains to be related.

‘Are you disagreeable ‘ ‘ hmm , yes ‘ Marvellous

‘ You don’t normally write about girrrls . Why have you suddenly noticed them ?’

Cœur fimo and the eyes

R K The debut is clearly the worst

It's hard for me to choose but Strangeways has a lot of my favorite songs.

@@gretzkyan my favorite smiths album is the one that is playing 🤣

wowow u are so wrong!

Me near, okay? I like the debut. It has a rawness I find more pleasing. Not saying Strangeways doesn’t have great songs (I Started Something..., Stop Me... and Last Night... are amazing) and my initial comment was a tad harsh but it’s the album I’ve listened to the least.
