Interview with Morrissey & Johnny Marr

Les Enfants du Rock 18/05/84

[@emptysresponse]

Only Johnny Marr could effortlessly pull off that ridiculous necklace.

[@ukelicious123]

he didn't really pull off actually

[@johnnys-left-earring]

i love it

[@Vpmatt]

Rock on Johnny Marr, one of my fave guitarists. Legend.

[@brenaeloimiii]

Johnny Marr is the absolute coolest!

[@mehua]

i love how marr manages to look and act so hot with that glamorous necklace on. so out of place yet perfectly fitting! intelligent answers from both of them too!

[@Martinezzz]

its nice to hear an interview where morrissey is speaking genuinely and not giving the interviewer the runaround...

[@antoinesubitlescoups338]

These two are the epitome of everything cool. Cool not just for the sake of it, but as something inherent to them. Legends.

[@TheMouldyMuffin]

Coronation Street in the left headphone

[@bignaughtydog]

yes from 1.27 onward.

[@LaurenE2689]

Thank god! I thought I had gone mad!

[@domclarke92]

which is an absolute nightmare when your right headphone's broken!

[@BlackTeddies]

johnny looks so cute with those glasses .

[@arizonablues]

they both have the cutest accent, but the host's accent cracks me up

[@olgaurueta542]

Im sure he'd laugh at ours 😂

[@antoinesubitlescoups338]

The host's French.

[@christinabeki]

Johnny marr is absolutely cool here!

[@Chris.Treborn]

Thanks

[@sscheckerrs]

they are both so brilliant

[@littledroogie]

God, Morrissey is such a knowledgeable person. Johnny Marr seems more soft-spoken, but equally intelligent. Maybe not quite as literate as Morrissey since Marr was so young at this point, but definitely intelligent and streaming with potential.

[@v1m]

"And I shouldn't have to explain why." :-)

[@rherrick123]

Made a choice between jean marais (this charming man sleeve) and clint eastwood. He's talking about the Smiths' covers.

[@evolution0fself]

@Kupohunter morrisey is most definitely not a hipster. Hipsters attach themselves to trends. The smiths doing something different in music when the scene was all about dressing like a pirate and making clown music is pretty much the opposite of a hipster surely

[@brenaeloimiii]

I think that those people are just jealous, when it comes down to it. Intelligence and Individuality is him, Himself and his musical genius.

[@BorlandRIP7]

LES ENFANTS DU ROCK , émission culte de mes 16 ans , à l'époque de la vraie télévision..

[@Ikillyuasyusleep]

funny both have irish parents (both sides).

[@sexobscura]

only johnny could were that necklace with such elan

[@davexy22]

Moz looks so good here

[@teameymelli1]

great great great the Smiths.

[@YourOwnDa]

Does Johnny Marr have a slight stammer?

[@gothicme]

i think he was talking about gary numan "wearing silly costumes and playing 8 syn's"

[@IntellectualParadox]

shambolic

[@marquis38]

The host name is Antoine De caune, a television presenter, actor, writer and film director. De Caunes came to fame in the English-speaking world on the BBC2 television series Rapido before starting the long-running adult entertainment programme Eurotrash with Jean-Paul Gaultier for Channel 4. He has been a long-time AIDS awareness campaigner, fronting the organisation Soirées de l'humour - Solidarité sida.

[@JacobLGeorge]

@christinabeki Johnny Marr is absolutely cool period.

[@ericsilberstein667]

Morrissey, Marr, Rourke, and Joyce were great together. The Smiths were a great alt band.

[@BorlandRIP7]

La grande époque du service public..interview par De Caunes..A l'époque je lisais ACTUEL et écoutais les Smiths , comme pas mal de jeunes gens de mon âge. Aujourd'hui , la musique à la TV se résume à des clips pourris à 6h00 du matin..Heureusement qu'Internet nous permet de revoir ces pépites télévisuelles.

[@starmandiddy]

Moz is the only star of his calibre to openly talk and not hold back, fuckpolitical correctness, bring on Moz!!!! VIVA HATE

[@antiquatedlies]

You can hear Coronation Street in the background :')

[@lilmrsjazzy1]

i'm a big smiths fan. i know i'm not alone. i'm 17. before i die i want to see the smiths live. all of them. oh god just imagine.

[@jockfrollosherekhan]

jasmine villegas yeah me too.

[@hayden6700]

10 years ago... wow.

[@kingcobrajfsofficial]

Keep dreaming.

[@Farewelltokingz]

About that……..

[@fahrenheit45one]

Yes I can hear it too - I think Morrissey would approve.

[@69crafty]

is that A LEATHER jacket Morrissey has on!?

[@rickramirez751]

Yes.

[@angelagak399]

At first, I thought it was denim, but I guess it could be vinyl. Hahahaha. It's hard to tell with the grainy quality of this 80s vid.

[@Chris.Treborn]

Excellent! Thanks so much for this

[@aliofly]

great lid from Marr

[@spartan876]

something special about the coronation street theme playing in the background with the interview to me... im from canada and my dad used to watch coronation street when i was a kid... of course I discover the smiths when I was a teen- manchester's always been a weird theme in my life

[@blackstarzombies]

Ahahaha "No silly costumes..." Is that why he's wearing a blingtastic necklace and John Lennon glasses? It's okay, he's brilliant, he can be a hypocrite.

[@phil-ys3cf]

great, i can watch a smiths interview and continue to learn french meanwhile ^^

[@MyloXyloto94]

Well said Nick, well said!

[@KeyOfStrife]

I don't know what's up with the screen ratio, but Moz and Johnny look like they've been working out quite heavily.

[@THEHOLIDAYCROWD]

Johnny's bling is jokes.

[@asgevalg]

Plenty of good bands from Manchester....Herman Hermits for instance. Love The Stone Roses. But the Smiths were the best.

[@joshthecoco]

The first ever hispters

[@teachtaire]

morrisey Is like Francis Bacon

[@keironkeightley]

Cool as fuck

[@haret0n]

there is no excuse for johnny marr's necklace

[@Ryokon101]

+haret0n Other than he's Johnny Marr

[@hiyay8830]

2021 anyone?

[@jas22]

i love his adj: "shambolic". i plan on using it regularly...back to his response. was that his way of saying he wanted the guy he thought was "hot"? or was his reaction a slight against eastwood, who, lets say, represents the type that may be intimidating to a more subdued, less aggressive, sensitive type of guy like M? if its the former, then isnt he exploiting the male form the way he was critical of rock bands doing that to women? do i have too much time on my hands to analyze this? :)

[@johnnys-left-earring]

where's this actually from? what tv broadcast?

[@LouVivaMorrissey]

@minsli i would have to disagree, the man is not an arse, he simply has an effortless need to speak- might i add in perfect english. Johhny marr doesnt seem to mind, neither should you.

[@jas22]

thanks, rherrick. but he says "and i shouldnt have to explain why"...???...i dont understand that tongue-in-cheek response.

[@olenholm]

No, you shouldn't have to explain why, Mary. It's very clear.

[@Nonmachaine]

And Johnny would be nowhere without Morrissey's witty, intelligent lyrics. What's your problem? Chill.

[@Slapbass13]

I shut off one speaker and turned up the other one. Its Coronation Street. Lol.

[@hdmccart6735]

must say, most of the comments here make no sense even in review...face it - Moz, as well as maybe 2,3 others are the pinnicle of modern music...I honestly hope we have a new handfull emerging!!

[@gothicme]

Im not saying he didnt, i went to see him at the 02

[@jas22]

"made a choice" between what? i didnt understand the interviewer.

[@EditorTasha]

@nickvee420 Well said- couldn't have put it better myself.

[@bensimps123]

@wattersvic what u on about? tell me why u think morrissey is a snob? because he's well spoken?

[@Luisangel14213]

quien fue el charming man? who was the charming man?

[@YourOwnDa]

1:42 - Coronation Street music

[@dankelly911]

@nickvee420 its because he is arrogant, but in a justified and respectable way

[@buddyollie180]

does Johnny have a stammer?

[@TelecastPropellor96]

Morrissey has that effect on people

[@dominiquemalveaux7917]

listen to johnny marr singles and tell me if it sucked or not because if you ask me i think its vice versa

[@sweetestperfection90]

Ah I don't think so. On first glance the resemblance is strong. But these men were thinkers and took action when faced with the stagnation of popular culture. Whilst hipsters merely recycle and regurgitate, superimpose things on each other without good reason, pass it through a generic instagram filter and put it on the web for approval by others of their kind. There has arguably existed a hipster-like mentality for centuries if not millenia but it is not a brush I would paint the Smiths with.

[@jackhartcup]

could any1 who reads this do me a favour? listen to the interview with earphones and turn the volume on full and only listen to the left earphone. i swear i can hear corronation street playing in the background somwhere

[@elephantstone222]

lol whats going on in the left channel? is that emmerdale or something?

[@thomthum2000]

What about Joy Division?

[@anitac.9033]

shit i thought i broke my headphone

[@oogie11]

@nickvee420 Well said. :)

[@simolui]

@christinabeki your comment is so low...

[@arax100]

Johnnys bling?

[@TophatsandUmbrellas]

coronation street!? holy random crap!

[@jogga16]

@FretLegendSmithy lmao !!

[@Scrap5000]

Wasn't Moz born to Irish parents?

[@homobarbie]

@19189073 i thought i was going insane...

[@jas22]

lol

[@wingsplu]

No he claims to be celibate. If you watch the Russel Brand interview about the album Years of Refusal he talks a bit about his sexual life and views.

[@pkingkingbag]

poor old rourke and joyce.. where are they?

[@manthapantha3]

@lilmrsjazzy1 Wishful thinking.. sorry to say I doubt it will happen.

[@SollyMotherF]

Is that marc almond or johnny marr? lol

[@jas22]

synthpop- do you not care what people think of you?

[@HotRats86]

ahaha moz is a card.

[@rael1999]

I love The Smiths Blackstar but I must admit that comment about being pretentious and the silly costumes made Me smile too...he must have bumped into the queen Mum....before they wrote th elyric 'dressed in yer mother's bridal veil' of course lol.

[@cartanrider]

like a fucking orange.....

[@cannabisabuser]

Yeah, it's called stereo, lulz.

[@andrew6978]

Johnny, mate, what the fuck is that necklace?

[@IdRatherbeDeaddd]

@elephantstone222 hehe, its fucking caronationstreet. wtf

[@tuasucks]

Morrissey - Hipster detected

[@rherrick123]

and to be honest, neither do I! I can imagine though...Johnny and non-identifiable french journalist are amused.

[@0in0your0world]

Haha, Dev needs deodorant, or his chair does??!

[@thelatedavidsmith]

who cares

[@itierney]

Preconceived and pretentious...unlike Morrissey, who's salt of the earth.
