The Queen is dead, boys And it's so lonely on a limb Edit: RIP Andy Rourke, you absolute legend.

@user-ti7up7hx2n Год назад

aged well

@AnAbsurdExistence Год назад

Hatful of Hallow is such an essential smiths record, i hate that it’s categorized as a mere compilation.

@TheAwkwardSituation Месяц назад

Agreed. It's the best quality recordings of their best songs. Insanely underated.

@matthewfbridges Год назад

the smiths are a band that have simultaneously made my taste infinitely better, but my mental health infinitely worse. Johnny Marr Is Jesus, preach his word. How Soon Is Now? happens to be my absolute favourite song of all time, so i’m happy my favourite music critic has finally covered their work, no band except maybe The Ramones, The Beatles, Iron Maiden Maybe? has affected me in such a way. so thankful for this retrospective.

@ScoopedMids Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it

@mattseaman5397 Год назад

“…as if you grew up with this songs even if you never heard them before” Spot on my friend, spot on.

@matthewfbridges Год назад

a quick note i’d like to make on Meat Is Murder, i think the title track is what holds it back from being a 10/10. not due to the lyrics or the music, but because it’s the closer and it’s roughly the same length as “How Soon Is Now?”. if they put that on the album instead (trust me i listened to it like that, it works), nothing would hold it back from being the best album of all time.

@ScoopedMids Год назад

Interesting point. But, I think it fits Hatful better.

@freebee8221 Год назад

Bigmouth strikes again is one of the best songs ever written.

@tobiasblackmoar Год назад

Andy might be the best bass player ever

@matthewfbridges Год назад

definitely up there. it’s sad he doesn’t get the credit he deserves, although that’s expected when your playing in a band that has Jesus Christ on guitar.

@freebee8221 Год назад

Nah, none of them were the best of their instruments. Thats not what that band was about.

@ScoopedMids Год назад

He is definitely up there

@tobiasblackmoar Год назад

not even in terms of skill, just his ability to counter melody Marr's guitar perfectly with these off the wall bass lines. watching him play is a joy.

@lukehope4484 Год назад

For me it's Tim Connerford of RATM

@Raitor33 Год назад

Excellent retrospective!! The Smiths are one of the bands that shaped my music taste. They're simply unique.

@ScoopedMids Год назад

Unique is an understatement!

@7daysinSunnyJune Год назад

The Smiths are often vying for the title of my favorite band of all time. If my favorite bands were the NFL, The Smiths would have the most rings, or the most World Cups if we played soccer. I wish I could find another Smiths fans on my day to day, like that kid on the elevator in 500 days of summer. We would strike a conversation in a coffee shop and we would tell each other how meaningful the Smiths’ songs are to us.

@ScoopedMids Год назад

I have never seen that movie and it this point I'm not sure if I want to see it lmao

@Joelster-og4pf Год назад

I so agree with how Mike and Andy should be given credit. I think they all did brilliant. RIP Andy Rourke. I was really heartbroken when I first heard the news. Update: I forgot to say this when originally writing this comment, I got into The Smiths 9-10 months before Andy passed and I was so glad to.

@bpabustan 10 месяцев назад

The instrument you hear at the end of Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want is a mandolin with several overdubs. I am a huge Smiths fan. Being there during their heyday, I love all of their releases.

@MrDot9 6 месяцев назад

It’s amazing that they were brilliant straight away , there’s absolutely no rubbish.

@0utintherain 4 месяца назад

I truly believe the Meat is Murder is their best album. I don't know if that is personal bias or not, but I feel like it really displays the band. It makes really upset none of the songs on the record ever made it to a "best of" or are mentioned in any review of The Smiths.

@MalMotorDedo Год назад

I believe that the run of the Smiths is very alike to the one the Police had, short, hard hitting, influential and ending in bad terms lol

@vio3673 4 месяца назад

I find that whenever a band has a resurgence, the actual extent of their creativity as musicians is replaced by idolization as people instead, which is detrimental to the smiths’ legacy considering how musically incomparable they were at the time and still are. It will truly never be recreated and thats what so special about them.

@RadioactiveKetchup Год назад

I honestly think Meat is Murder is their best album. I do see what Marr is saying about stuff being "too fast" though, but I really think it's a benefit rather than a detriment to the songs on the album, except for the title track. The title track Meat is Murder is a little too fast on record, but its not intolerable. MIM is a great, great record.

@ScoopedMids Год назад

I like the tempo of the title track but I get what you mean

@ohdear671 Год назад

Utterly agree. The best album.

@sexobscura Год назад

It's their best official album for sure. No doubt. But the titular song is complete rant devoid of any plausabe musical or lyrical spark. Rogan's questioning of the line 'death for no reason is murder' is more than valid AND potent

@mrstephenpariah 6 дней назад

@@ScoopedMidsAlso 'That joke..' is Marr's favourite Smiths song. And mine, probably.

@mrgainz1344 Год назад

The most original band ever!

@ScoopedMids Год назад

They're certainly up there

@mcluvin65 Год назад

my only complaint is the host has the library already completed, growing up with The Smiths, waiting for each single and the excitement that came when they were released cannot be captured afterward, especially when the only mainstream radio absolutely refused to play The Smiths. Alternative music was and is still at the forefront of originality and creativity.

@xcxjcxfjff5656 Год назад

great video!!! ive been a huge fan of them for a long time and you did them justice! also i love that the rockpalast performance of theirs is playing in the background on your tv!

@jimmynebula Год назад

Last night I saw your The Misfits retrospective, and was impressed. This Retrospective on The Smiths blew me away, GREAT JOB! The Smiths IMO were the greatest band in the last 40 years. I've released 6 albums, and the band I'm always compared to is The Smiths, and some REM lol

Morrissey is my favorite horrible person. The rest of the band is perfect in every way. Separately they are all capable of making decent music but together they're absolutely lethal.

fantastic video. Love the smiths, honestly i think their debut is my favorite but i dont think they have a bad record johnny marr really is one of the greatest guitar players. You should do a Killing Joke retrospective that would be awesome

@Seamythief Год назад

Although not very important to the video Vini Reilly wrote the majority of music on viva hate and Stephen Street and Morrisey pretty much omitted any mention of his contribution on the album, that is why the album is so good

@ScoopedMids Год назад

I'm aware he claimed this but I've always been dubious of that

@Seamythief Год назад

@@ScoopedMids I'm inclined to believe solely because the talent of Vini Reilly matches up with a lot of those tracks along with some interviews Reilly gave which I thought described the situation quite well

@themedallostoryteller1105 11 месяцев назад

La decisión de no tocar solos ni power chords muestra su genialidad en todo su esplendor Un guitarrista que realmente sabe tocar entiende que los power chords no tienen casi expresividad, porque ni siquiera tienen tercera, así que evitarlos en lugar de limitarte te abren muchas más posibilidades

I'm amused by the fact that The Smiths were so anti-authority, but then decades later Morrisey threatened to sue a studio because The Simpsons made an episode pointing out that he's a douchebag who doesn't actually believe anything he says.

I don't know what version of the debut album you have, but the original album certainly didn't have This Charming Man on it. The track list is: A1 Reel Around The Fountain 5:55 A2 You’ve Got Everything Now 3:58 A3 Miserable Lie 4:27 A4 Pretty Girls Make Graves 3:41 A5 The Hand That Rocks The Cradle 3:45 B1 Still Ill 3:19 B2 Hand In Glove 3:23 B3 What Difference Does It Make? 3:49 B4 I Don’t Owe You Anything 4:04 B5 Suffer Little Children 5:29

@NathySakura 10 месяцев назад

All US pressings of the album featured This Charming Man, and it’s currently on every CD & digital release :) weird we didn’t get it on UK releases

@Ian666peace 10 месяцев назад

@NathySakura I think it was not included (since it was released as a single prior to the album coming out) to encourage fans to buy the single. It probably wasn't released in US so they included it.

@SamHell-wr8bi 8 месяцев назад

US version, yes. The US version of Meat is Murder had How Soon Is Now on it, too, which I don't believe was on the UK release.

@davidbucky7634 Год назад

Ok so agree on everything but on the vegan thing like you can not eat meat but you still live in a house made from wood cut down in a forest that probally got some animals displaced and killed so like where are you gonma draw the line i like to compare it to the punk argument like if your band is so punk u dont want to be on a tour or have merch sold at hot topic or whatever then your band probally wont be succesfull so where do u draw the line? Idk to each their own i feel bad about eating meat but its to engrained in me i feel and i do enjoy it sometimes

@ScoopedMids Год назад

Well, you don't have much of a choice but to live in a house. Living on the street is dangerous for several reasons. And, you can eat different things other than meat and live your life the same way you did before. The worst that could happen is you might have to take vitamin supplements. Which is something I do anyway, and I eat meat. But, I'm iron deficient.

Meat is Murder as a track, for me at least, is a little over-the-top; not because of the message per say but how it's written musically and lyrically. for sure the weakest on the album, which is a shame, tho it still helped to get people considering vegetarinism and that's all that counts i suppose.
