50% of the Smiths is probably the most we’ll ever get. Rourke is one of the most melodic bassists in rock, great to see him still playing these days.

Yeah. Moz should surely regroup now though. His music hasn’t been interesting for the last 15+ years.

[@og_orinjvr2900]

[@craig3652]

Though he never seems to get as much credit, Andy’s bass is as much a part of The Smiths’ sound as Johnny’s riffs. He always knew when to hold down a groove or walk around the scale a bit, they always played off each other so well. Moz is lucky to have had such a strong band to back him up, they’re the reason his vocals worked (plus it’s Johnny’s music anyways).

[@BlueJon1975]

Absolutely

[@daverawcliffe3212]

Agreed, Andy Rourke is an amazing bassist

A sad day. Andy Rourke’s bass playing carried The Smiths far more than most people realised! His bass lines were the melodic backbone of most of their tunes. Every time I hear a Smiths song in my head it’s the bass line I hear!!

RIP Andy Rourke. He laid down the sweet riffs and heavy bass lines for The Smiths and others for years and passed away far too early at 59 years old. We'll miss you Andy, but always keep your music playing.

[@iridescent-frog1059]

Andy doesn’t get the credit he deserves. He’s one of the most underrated bassists of all time. Really talented. Doesn’t matter if he didn’t write some of the basslines, his skill was unmatched and the playing is more important anyways.

[@eboethrasher]

As far as I knew, he wrote all of his own lines...

[@sundrenched6248]

Come on, that's absurd. His skill unmatched? Better than John Entwistle, Chris Squire, Stanley Clarke, Pino Palladino, Bernie Edwards, Verdine White, Peter Hook, Barry Adamson, Jaco Pastorius, Bootsy Collins, Victor Wooten, Geddy Lee, Paul McCartney, etc. etc. etc.? I did like Rourke's playing by the way, he was great in The Smiths. That said, he was just a solid funk-inspired pop bassist.

[@stoicsceptic8420]

@@sundrenched6248 Jaco Pastorius would have been enough 😂😂

[@romulo353]

@@sundrenched6248 His skill is unmatched. His melodies are a perfect fit to the band, and he's very mature not to overplay. The final composition is very unique, therefore, technically unmatched. Not by the standards you are thinking of, but by sheer scarcity.

[@ryplay08]

@@sundrenched6248 Unmatched doesn’t have to mean how skilled you are. Andy’s melodies were perfect for The Smiths, no one play can them better than him. As amazing as all those bassists you mentioned are, I don’t think they can play “Barbarism Begins at Home” and make it sound the way Andy did

@@joaquin5028 he's just bored England became Arabland/Anglestan lol

[@coldkissofsteel]

Morrissey stopped being relevant in the very early 90's. Meanwhile Marr has been killing it solo and in a number of bands since the Smiths. Morrissey's schtick was cute when he was young. Now he's just an old, fat, bigot. You couldn't pay me to go see Morrissey now.

[@eboethrasher]

@@coldkissofsteel He had decent songs all through the 90s, and a few of the comeback songs were good. Irish Blood, English Heart in particular was a standout. I saw him twice in the "oughts" and he still had it. He has since made his bigotry loud and clear. Also I fucking love how anyone who doesn't look like a crack addict in need of a sandwich is "fat", lol.

[@ericsilberstein667]

Everyone chanting “Andy” was touching. The Smiths was one of my favorite alt bands. Morrissey, Marr, Rourke, and Joyce made great music together. I had posters on my wall with them. One included Craig Gannon as a temporary 5th member.

I like animals as leaders, Adele, Tosin Abasi, Orianthi so on but I always find myself drawn back to the 80s.
