Johnny Marr And the pretenders - meat is murder 

One of the few times you'll ever hear him ripping on a guitar solo. Nice one Johnny.

pure class! Thank you Johnny for the wonderful years with the smiths! thank you for being such a great collaborator and shining your skill upon us. you're unforgettable

I don't understand all the comments here that Marr can't sing. I think his voice sounds great on this track, better even than some of his Healers stuff. What's much more important, this video is proof that Johnny actually knows how to play a bad-ass guitar solo!!! Marr rules!!!

i love marr...he still looks amazing

One of his coolest performances

never knew Marr could sing! he tweeted me the other week!

great Johnny

I think he's a nice singer,actually.

Johnny Marr =Guitar God.

I simply cannot fucking believe I’m only now finding out Johnny Marr played with the Pretenders. Amazing.

His soloing here sounds so much like Clapton it's incredible.

omfg that hair!!! Noel Gallagher rocked the identical look around 2000

Incredible.

he's been vegetarian since the 80s....

His voice is not great but what a fucking class guitar player! Great performance.

To be honest I love both without them both The Smiths wouldn't of been what it was...

Awesome!

well actually death for no reason is just...death

"go Johnny go"

I wouldn't say 'fat' - the man has been around 7 and a half stone all his adult life and now I suppose in his late 40's he's getting a little bit 'jowly' as his face fills and drops - it comes to us all mate! The haircut isn't doing him a huge favour I admit, but Johnny Marr IS Johnny Marr, and skeleton or Jabba The Hut he'd still be foxy as fuck and a fabulous guitarist, so there! Marr is the man! I love him! Legend!

@GuitarnPiano I remember Morrissey saying that the Smiths member were meat-eaters but they didn't eat meat in public...

He is a vegan.

Agree =]]]

Guys to make a real impact can we please have Heston Blumenthal doing his gothic feast on stage at the same time?

He is a vegan. How exactly is it lifeless? Its not an indefinable thing, you know.

wow is johnny marr a vegitarian? and who cares about his singing he's doing it a darn sight better than most

@bil0isgod - yep. search 7 Worlds Collide or check out his site.

Moz you'll never be Marr :)

@brucefetter He's been vegetarian for a long time.

@bil0isgod - yep. type in 7 Worlds Collide

Morrissey who?

hehehe =p

oddly i was just eating chiken when i found this one. is marr a veg too?

Marr, you'll never be Moz

@Kill80moz separately they're both amazing, put them together and we know what happened

@TheShivs I love Johnny Marr and I think the music he played in the Smiths was amazing, but you can't deny that Morrissey is leagues above Marr in singing and writing lyrics. That having been said, I can't stand Morrissey's solo stuff. I think Marr and Morrissey were just musically meant for each other, they'll never be as good performing as solo acts in my opinion.

why are you arguing over whos the biggest vegeterian/vegan mozza or marr. . just listen to the song ffs!!

a lot better than morrisseys version in my opinion Morrissey screams the lyrics and changes it up too much I love morrissey and his solo stuff. But I do think marrs version of meat is murder is far more superior

please if you must sing then sing like you mean it

DONT LIKE THIS ON AS MUCH

I like my murder with eggs, hashbrowns, and bacon please!

morrissey sings it better.

As that is very languid Without Morrissey it is already full sucks

the lyrics are all fucked up!
