Don't really mind Marr re-inventing many off his Smiths-era riffs in more recent videos using new settings etc. But I'm always amused how good and unique these original live versions with lesser quality and fewer FX sound like. They somehow make the sound more natural and relatable for me. There's sorta that "punk" thing going on behind the beautiful music I like a lot. But of course Johnny's a professional guitarist who's always into improving and finding new sounds. That what keeps him relevant even today.
@@Chris-jq1qb not bad per say but it's very a very bright, hard, metallic sound from what I've heard. I assume it's mainly due to the unique pickups. I think Marr makes it work because he has such a deft strumming and picking style. He can play softly and dig in when needed. Others with an aggressive style sound dreadful in my opinion.
Perhaps worse is Johnny Marr's stripped back guitar lines, which really hurt the song live. He could muddle through somewhat, but having the 2nd guitarist on live shows (as they did for a time) really was essential.
Everyone goes on about Mars being great guitarist but Andy on Bass was amazing hard to find a better player made a lot of their songs sound great so underrated
naci en el 67 perfecto año conoci toda esta musica hasta el 2000 me vacile donde lo conosco como solista que buena musica carajo pero ahora ia musica urbana es una cochinada malditos reguetoneros
Ufff, el famoso concierto que cerró la movida madrileña, en Camoens. Los pelos como escarpias. 125000 personas, dicen... Lo que me hubiera gustado estar allí y disfrutar como el tipo sale hacia el 2:09, y que sale todo el rato en el resto del concierto, y es que se las sabía todas. Encima el día de mi cumpleaños, sólo me falta haber nacido quince años antes... Gracias por subir esto y si tienes el concierto entero, (lo grabó TVE), no te cortes y súbelo. Abrazos
This song is about the frustrating experience of being in an unhappy and disconnected relationship. The singer reflects on his past life when he was "happy in the haze of a drunken hour", and then contrasts it with his miserable present reality. The song criticizes the other person in the relationship, acknowledging that she does not care whether the singer "lives or dies", and lamenting her emotional detachment. The singer questions why he even bothers putting effort into the relationship, when it's clear that the other person doesn't care. In the end, he recognizes the need to "naturally" escape this dead-end relationship.
I was there. We were all drunk, jumping and dancing, they were already a great band. And we celebrating them. What to say, a fantastic group playing excellent and new kind of Music. They'll move you, and make you think, as well. 🤗❤️👍🏻
That’s amazing, sounds like it was the best concert mate. I wish I was alive back then to see this performance as well. And boy oh boy does mozzer’s lyrics make you think, such significant and magical music that was the smiths🎉
Quando se falar que as músicas antes eram boas e as de hoje é uma merda, taí aí a resposta nunca tinha ouvido essa musica, tava no canal 90 e quando escutei a melodia procurei porque música boa e assim, você indentificado e já gosta de primeira, linda música o cara canta com a alma.
eh the smiths, tem muitas outras boas. this charming man, the boy with the thorn in his side, pretty girls make graves, são algumas que eu recomendo. influenciaram bastante o legião urbana
I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour But heaven knows I'm miserable now I was looking for a job, and then I found a job And heaven knows I'm miserable now In my life Why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die? Two lovers entwined pass me by And heaven knows I'm miserable now I was looking for a job, and then I found a job And heaven knows I'm miserable now In my life Oh, why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die? What she asked of me at the end of the day Caligula would have blushed "Oh, you've been in the house too long" she said And I naturally fled In my life Why do I smile At people who I'd much rather kick in the eye? I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour But heaven knows I'm miserable now "Oh, you've been in the house too long" she said And I naturally fled In my life Oh, why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die?
