In case anyone is wondering the video was filmed in Broadfield Park in Rochdale, UK.

[@RaiseThePressure]

Nice

[@lajollascott]

I was, thank you!

[@TCarnellF66]

A true guitar hero for the non-shredders. Glad to hear those Marr tones still so clean and strong.

[@danozism]

Exactly- well said. His playing is so subtle yet clever. JM understands and promotes the theory that you don't need to flood your tone with overdrive and play a thousand notes per second. No doubt he can shred fast etc, but doesn't feel the need to.

[@pamela8329]

Pardon me, please see Draize Train Live

[@tonyh8965]

danoz he’s better than all the shredders. Shredding is meaningless. No soul to it. Johnny’s playing has emotion & soul to it.

[@Chris-Ian]

@@danozism Some of Johnny's stuff is "thousand notes per second" to be fair. Listen to the bridge of Bigmouth Strikes Again. There are other examples as well.

[@lucalone]

his playing is absolitely unique !!

[@nhsanalprobers]

The Smiths were great....but this is sublime ... Johnny is now the full package...he can write his own tunes and needs to be respected for his awesome body of work

It isn't even that complicated, hard to play or even well composed. It's actually pretty average. Listen to mark knopfler, david gilmoore, eric clapton, jimi hendrix or keith richards if you wanna enjoy the real masters

[@uufukful]

@@Vracka It shouldn't necessarily be complicated or hard to play to be beautiful. There is a beauty and genious in simplicity

[@evangarry3525]

@@Vracka while yes all of those guitarists you named are amazing and are all some of favourite guitarists ever, it's not how complex johhnys playing is that makes him so good it's his distinct style/sound where he takes inspiration from hendrix and nile Rodgers and usually uses unique chords that sound very open, that's why I personally think he's one of the best guitarists of all time he's not the most technically proficient player but he's an amazing composer and I would listen to him just playing rhythm over any sort of mark knofler solo.

[@leeseaman6068]

Johnny Marr's style and melody is still so refreshing; it hasn't "aged", but rather matured like fine wine. His voice is also pleasant and easy on the ear. I feel that Johnny still has so much more to offer creatively. However, the question still remains if the Smiths will ever reunite, even if it were merely the songwriting partnership of Morrissey / Marr? I guess some partnerships like friendships are there for a time and season only, but it would hypothetically be interesting to see what they would sound like now if they were to reunite.

[@leeseaman6068]

@Harrison Gent It's a good point. One gets the feeling that when members of a songwriting partnership go their separate ways things are never the same further down the line. That creative foundation they had once built won't go away, but they both have different purposes, different goals now. When "The Police" reunited just briefly in the mid 2000's and did a World Tour it was from what I heard purely for financial reasons to prop up the living of the other members of the band who weren't involved in the songwriting process because Sting wrote all the songs. I think you're right that if the Smiths were to reunite even if just briefly it could well be an anti-climax, and therefore it's perhaps best for former creative partnerships to be risk averse in this sense. I wasn't aware of the results of the Stone Roses reunion, but it seems to show as the old cliche goes that all good things come to an end, but then again remarkably The Rolling Stones just keep going on and on!

[@leeseaman6068]

@Harrison Gent Someone once told me that they felt that "The Smiths were the best British band after The Beatles". Like The Beatles they were around for five years before disbanding. With regard to the influence The Smiths had on bands as diverse as the "Red Hot Chili Peppers" to "Radiohead" I can certainly see merit in the above remark. The fact that The Smiths, like the Beatles still have such a tight-knit and adoring fan base is a clearly a testament to their greatness as a band (even though I'm saying this in the present tense). There's a certain value is realising that money couldn't buy them back as a band.

[@leeseaman6068]

@Harrison Gent That's excellent.
