Johnny Marr absolutely detests Manchester United

From receiving all kinds of accolades to working with other greats (Morrissey, Hans Zimmer, Talking Heads), Johnny Marr has crossed off several enviable items on an artist's hypothetical bucket list. He also continues to extend his legacy by working on solo music and rocking silk shirts whenever he hits the stage.
This week's questions include:
1. Guitar battle Jimi Hendrix vs. Noel Gallagher
2. Auction off guitar lessons on eBay vs. Only be able to buy things off eBay
3. Tour with a supergroup of your previous bands vs. Tour with a combination of N.W.A. and Naughty by Nature
4. Give up your healthy lifestyle vs. Become a Manchester United fan

'Full on 1983 UK indie'

[@johnboylan1727]

It doesn't matter who johnny marr puts in his band he's no one without mozza

[@Lunatic4Bizcas]

@@johnboylan1727 : ¡Wrong! I used to be a die hard Morrissey fan. Still love the guy's music and some of his songs are among my all time favorites, but I must say, MARR is great and genius regardless who he collaborates with.

[@johnboylan1727]

@@Lunatic4Bizcas ok then in thirty years what has marr actually done now ask the same question of Morrissey now who's the real genius

[@Lunatic4Bizcas]

@@johnboylan1727 : Well Marr has only participated in several projects and some that have been truly noteworthy. Modest Mouse's amazing 2004 album; Good News for People Who Love Bad News has Marr's signature guitar work all over it. The late 80's super-band Electronic that included Bernard Sumner from New Order had some memorable tunes as well. Marr's solo work fronting his own projects is also very good.

I love how Johnny has deliberately left a little bit of his hair grey. Fucking cool. Like he's incorporated getting older into his whole thing and owned it.

[@Alpha_7227]

Could listen to Johnny all day. He sounds like such a lad, loved his comment about Hendrix. So humble, I don't think the Smiths will get together because Morrissey sounds like a pompous git at times and Johnny is a lad. A bloke you would buy a beer in a pub, loan him money.

[@chrisjenkins5846]

Morrissey is still very upset at how 2 of the members of the smiths fucked him over in the trial ....he doesn't need a reunion and is wealthy but deep down I know he misses them in his own way despite what he says

I love how Noel Gallagher actually probably preferred when man city were shite in the 90s than winning the leagues and dominating football now. Was a sort of an inferiority complex factor to it ha biggest band in the UK but the team was shite ha

[@lucasm3879]

Noel Gallagher has never said that about City. Fact. Ricky Hatton has said it but he’s always been a bit thick.

[@DannyLandaXO]

Probably be United fans again now

[@rael1999]

Can wait until he meets up with Mani and Ian Brown lol !

[@alejandrocisneros7442]

I love Mr. Marr but I disagree lol. Hendrix would dig that indie 80's stuff and probably evolved his sound like Marr! I mean his whole embellishment reminds me of Marr style! It really is a tragedy that we will never see it.

[@potbelliedfool]

What arrogance-1983 UK Indie would not 'confuse the shit' out of Hendrix, more like depress the shit out of him since it was a rehash of things he would have been familiar with-MC5, the Velvets, Byrds, and 60s jangly pop in general. Except not as good or as memorable. The only thing that would confuse the shit out of Hendrix is Marr's glass eye.
