ChrisHOST
I really enjoyed it.
ChrisHOST
I think the Johnny Marr one was the best one they've done on the overlap.
ChrisHOST
That was fantastic,
speaker_3NARRATOR
even if he is a City fan.
Ben LeeGUEST
Like when I'm doing it, like I'm really into it.
Ben LeeGUEST
I realized I saw an interesting, uh, a TikTok with, um, It was either like Johnny Marr or Paul Weller being interviewed and they asked about their friendship with Noel Gallagher.
Ben LeeGUEST
And they were like, oh, he's exactly the same.
Ben LeeGUEST
He'll just write a song for fun.
Arturo AndradeHOST
While Morrissey wrote all the highly literate and downright poetic lyrics, had the distinctive voice, and was the charismatic frontman, he was only one half of the band's creative core and didn't write a note of music.
Arturo AndradeHOST
That responsibility, alongside being overall band leader, co-producer, and sometimes even sole producer of all their studio work, and often a de facto manager... fell to Johnny Marr, one of, if not the most gifted guitarist and writer of music of his generation.
Arturo AndradeHOST
Oh, and by the way, from all accounts by people who have known him and the little hints he's dropped in interviews, he's politically the 180 degree opposite of Morrissey.
Arturo AndradeHOST
This was a brilliant band that produced a startlingly eclectic, musically rich, and lyrically powerful and emotionally deep body of work over a remarkably short period of time.

Tony FletcherGUEST
It's actually, as you say, it's like you put these four people together and something special is happening.
Tony FletcherGUEST
Clearly, all of them had something because Morrissey was like already sort of leaning over the audience, Gladioli in the back pocket.
Tony FletcherGUEST
Johnny Marr just looks like a 60s god with the bowl haircut and the Rickenbacker.
Tony FletcherGUEST
Andy Rourke was kind of interesting because he was still in this sort of jazz funk stage at the time, like with the clothing that was very prevalent, so the sweaters.
Kari RaceHOST
But as soon as he started, he realized he didn't like working alone.
Kari RaceHOST
Enter Johnny Marr, formerly of The Smiths.
Kari RaceHOST
They thought maybe they would release music anonymously so as not to coast off their previous reputations, but changed their minds on that.
Kari RaceHOST
The first song they wrote together was the one we find on Paste's list, Getting Away With It.
Sean O'CallaghanHOST
Oh, it's so good.
Sean O'CallaghanHOST
It was written by Johnny Marr, who was from the Smiths, as you would know, but maybe some listeners don't know.
Sean O'CallaghanHOST
The song is called Spectral Eyes.
Sean O'CallaghanHOST
I'm
Aaron FarleyHOST
I love that.
Aaron FarleyHOST
I remember hearing, because I got to shoot Johnny Marr once in Santa Barbara for NME.
Aaron FarleyHOST
And it was a show.
Aaron FarleyHOST
So he was playing and then New Order was playing after him.
Aaron FarleyHOST
I don't like that guy.
Aaron FarleyHOST
And then I was taking it very personal for what it is.
Aaron FarleyHOST
And then I sat up there and watched Johnny Marr play all the hits and sing them and go...
Aaron FarleyHOST
Oh, he doesn't even need Morrissey.
speaker_0UNKNOWN
I
GavinHOST
mean, it's always complicated, isn't it, with old Morrissey, but I always counter that with, yeah, but Johnny Marr's good, so it's okay.
GavinHOST
He's vegan,
DanHOST
isn't he?
speaker_10SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
Carry on, boys.
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And I was cooler than cool And I was sat at the bar On a lumbering stool And they were shaking their hand And they were buying their shirts And they were saying your band Should be on top of the pops I was king for the day, king for the day They gave me a crown and they took it away I was king for the day, king for the day They gave me a crown and they took it away I was king for the day But to my haggis they loft And I was getting my kicks Just fighting them off But enough is enough And so I had to give in I was king for a day, king for a day They gave me the crown and then they took it away I was king for a day, king for a day They gave me the crown and then they took it away I was king for a day And I bought a guitar For a couple of grand And then I met with the press And I played a few hits On my new Johnny Marr
speaker_2SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And then I smashed it to bits
speaker_6SOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
I was king for a day, king for a day They gave me a crown and they took it away I was king for a day, king for a day They gave me a crown and they took it away King for a day I was king for a day Thank you.
StanHOST
Right.
StanHOST
I mean, who's cooler than, Maybe Johnny Marr is cooler than Noel.
StanHOST
Who's cooler than Noel? Who are you going to say these days is cooler than Noel Gallagher?
DazzaHOST
Oh, wow.
Danny WallaceHOST
Done.
Danny WallaceHOST
Here's Johnny Marr.
Danny WallaceHOST
It's time.
Danny WallaceHOST
I'm not sure that was of help to anyone.
