Smiths legend Johnny Marr on lending a guitar to a penniless Noel Gallagher... only for it to get smashed over a fan's head.

It amazes me, as an American, how guys like Marr, and Noel especially, have true working class pedigrees, can be from dingy, dark regions like the north of England, and yet their quips and anecdotes are peppered with highly literate and educated thought and expression. I dont have the ear to pick out the differences in accents that may distinguish the british working class from the masses, as I am told you can, but you certainly cant tell by the content of their words. England has got to have a fine public education system. I spent countless nights when I couldnot sleep whiling away the hours listening to any interview on Noel I can get my hands on. He described Morrissey as "dour",,,cracks me up

To be fair, for every working class guy who can speak well, there's about 20 who can barely string a sentence together, especially these days within young people. At that's not be being high and mighty or looking down on anybody, i come from one of the statistically the worst council estate in statistically the worst place in the UK ha, far worse than where they did in fact. A lot of young people now from these places don't value educating themselves, they see it as a badge of honour to be "rough" and working class, when in fact a lot of them are not even working class, because they can't even be bothered to be that, instead many have a chip on their shoulder. Anyway, our public education system is not that great, probably no better or worse than most "developed" countries. It's just that you get a few guys who want something more out of life, and they're the kind of guys that you know. But as i say, there's plenty that are the total opposite of what you're talking about too. Same as everywhere really.

All of a sudden you notice some commotion happening, you take a step backward and see the security people wrestling somebody down. Then you notice that your brother is gone and you go "What has happened?" you scan the stage and find your brother lying in the orchestra pit in front of the stage, which is a drop of six foot. You then put two and two together and decide to give that low life something to think about.

The strap button on my Les Paul once broke and the whole thing landed on my big toe - which broke - cant imagine surviving a solid head shot with one : )

Love how Marr is still not a pretentious prick after all the legendary bands/music he's been involved with. A true inspiration.

Johnny needs to release an instructional guitar DVD; he's the only guitar hero who hasn't, and deserves to more so than a lot of the others!

Nice story. Incredible symmetry from Townsend to Marr to Gallagher. . . . . . . That's the universe talking right there

Saying Noel Gallagher is a shit guitarist is like saying Bob Dylan is a shit singer.. It's just a nothing statement.
