Morrissey - Speedway Reaction!

[@bradleywitt7772]

One of his bests, a song that will stand the test of time!

[@Gholden1972]

An absolutely stellar song and always a show stopper - live.

I love it when I see someone get Morrissey. "I never said, I never said, that they were completely unfounded". Vauxhall and I is close to perfection all around, you should give it up and just do the whole album. Great stuff.

[@stephenberrells1471]

" In my own sick way" , only Morrissey. I had started to doubt him before Vauxhall And I, but this stunned me. Epic.

[@stevecalvert5212]

Magnificent track, should've been a single at the time.

[@Tbevie50]

A great album closer to an even greater album.

[@theboywithathorninhisside.4179]

Yeah . I recently seen the very same interview. . #'Absolute Radio' pod Cast . Featuring Noel Gallagher. Released 1 Week ago. And apparently upon an American noticing Morrissey/Russell Brand and Noel in a Bar, and hearing their accent, went to Morrissey and basically Congratulated them on the Kate/William Wedding. And Obviously Morrisseys reaction was to basically Slam his hands down and give such a 'gutterly Growl' it shook the Table . There stands a Powerful Voice. Great Story. Viva Morrissey. And someone who has has Heard, 'Meat is Murder' . LIVE in 99. Morrissey is an extremely Powerful Singer. .and means every single word he states.

I saw this performed in my home town three weeks ago. Was amazing

[@stanettiels7367]

Love this song (maybe my favourite of the album, like the rest of them are. Haven’t made my mind up after over twenty years) and the entire album.

[@poetorfool7443]

It's about Johnny Marr :) you should definitely look into their "relationship"

[@johnboylan3591]

In my own strange way

[@vincentthorpe5193]

Even better live!

[@richardharris5533]

"And when you slam down the hammer" makes me think of a judge in the courtroom..

[@Emburbujada]

An extremely Morrissey Morrissey song XD

[@slappedhappy9549]

Favorite here ! Great reaction,Nick!

[@aleunloveable671]

When the band broke up, they went to court and the proceeds were shared. Later the ex-members of the band gave interviews and notes saying that Morrissey had taken almost everything. At the same time it was said that he had shared that profit with Jonny and that the real reason why the band separated was because they had become emotionally involved and their relationship became toxic. Morrissey always responded with sarcasm and jokes to all these rumors. When I listen to this song I remember all this and I can't think of anything else.

[@rosem625]

I always found it distasteful that Johnny allowed Morrissey to take the blame for everything in court when he was equally responsible for the financial set up of the band. It was easier I guess to let it pan out that way. Morrissey didn't make it easy for himself in court, he was difficult to say the least.

[@kereyhaire6910]

Need to watch the live version 1995, unreal

[@GregMuniz7]

Favorite song

[@eng605]

Have you done "Jack the ripper"? The live version is great! (from the album "Beethoven was deaf").

[@Tbevie50]

I agree. The studio version’s nice but the live version, especially the one on ‘Beethoven was deaf’ is 100 times better.

[@oscillatewildly6553]

It's hard to decide which version of Jack The Ripper is better. I think the studio version is, so atmospheric.

[@stanettiels7367]

Love that live album. Just........ bliss. Phenomenal.

[@stanettiels7367]

Listen to the live album from The Smiths called Rank. It’s unbelievably good.

[@kenpudsey6435]

Great Post again Nick 🎉

[@contratacionessiegen2372]

Tengo tatuado la letra de la cancion.

[@danielkirkby3601]

The most morrisseyey Morrissey song

[@tylerdinho4371]

Always love to see reactions from you with morrissey not sure how many u have left at this point but I suggest you keep doing them all 😁😁 saw someone say react to Robert smith! Please do as well 😅😅

[@Xavier-ez6vb]

Would love to see him react to his latest work. Smith has never stopped putting out music despite being in his 60s

[@KatMat777]

I love this song. Great commentary!

[@InsignificantNick]

Thank you!

[@slotzaabc5532]

Hey nick saw a suggestion for Robert Smith- not in love and it definitely made me want you to hear it. Definitely a great song love youyyy

[@Xavier-ez6vb]

Ikrr what a song ! To think Robert smith was more than 50 when he sang it as well

[@tylerdinho4371]

10000000000%% nick needs to react to this

[@nomisnestral6956]

Hadnt heard this in years. On purpose. Oh you ve done it now!

[@Xavier-ez6vb]

Wow the channel is growing so quick bro congrats

[@charlescozic3208]

So it’s a relationship song? 😊

[@andysponge8059]

Try slow readers club 'i saw a ghost ' or you opened up my heart, another great Manchester band

[@Xavier-ez6vb]

Would be great to see you react to Robert Smiths late work as he never stops making music. The cure have announced they are making one more album and it’s exciting. Robert smith in his 60s is still amazing. Check out his late work !!

[@William44-c9c]

This was after his support show for the English group Madness at Finsbury Park, where he was draped in the Union Jack flag.

[@rosem625]

Two years later and this song probably little if anything to do with that incident. The real story that should have been reported was that Morrissey endured homophobic abuse and missiles thrown at him during his set by actual fascists in the crowd. Instead the NME, and others since, decided to spin the narrative that Morrissey's a dreadful racist because he held the union jack (he also scrunched it up and threw it away). If that's enough to make him a racist then by that logic practically every British musician who's ever lived is too.
