The Smiths - Barbarism Begins at Home [Live on Rockpalast 1984]
(HQ Video and Sound)
The day that Johnny Marr chose to continue playing, rather than dance with Moz, was the day The Smiths were dead.

[@354Entertainment]

Rourke's bass play is incredible

[@teresawalters6358]

Indeed!

[@TheMysteryEntity]

RIP Andy Rourke. My biggest influence when learning bass growing up in the 90s

[@ashtabet3450]

Damn, this song about child abuse really makes me want to dance.

[@samjgollings8664]

Morrissey and Marr just doing nonsense dancing to one of the greatest bass lines of all time kills me every time

[@JJ-zg1hh]

Damn straight.

[@KuroMicra]

Andy Rourke's bass line is nothing short of monumental in this track. As for Marr's guitar playing. Perfection!

[@adamgoodell5805]

RIP Andy!!!

[@andrewlom6688]

R.I.P. LEGEND! 🌹

[@rcb0683]

I love that Andy Rourke looks like any bloke you'd meet in the street in the 80s and look at him. Listen to him! Then look at Morrissey and Marr. Proof you don't have to be eccentric to be an artist.

Andy Rourke really deserves a writing credit on this song

[@pinkopallinopinko]

The bassline was also written by Johnny Marr, but he got only two hands... :)

[@rcb0683]

@@idrissbelmejdoub6632 no, he didn't. I think in an interview Marr describes Rourkes influences and references A Certain Ratio as influences on this particular bass line and others

[@alfredoarevalo725]

@@idrissbelmejdoub6632 You realize that's the argument they hold in order to call Rourke and Joyce session musicians, Rourke wrote that Bassline he said it in a podcast interview even if you want to believe that lie of Marr writing the bassline, go ahead but at least you can reckon Rourke's craft.

[@miguelsandoval7881]

I love this song! Johnny Marr is an incredible guitar player. :O

[@ivanshipy1966]

great bass really FUCKIN good

[@philatelian]

Andy Rourke's bassline There is nothing more unfortunate than not being able to see and hear.

[@CruceEntertainment]

Hard working band. Lots of songwriting. Lots of great playing.

[@josuedasilvajunior5840]

Johnny Marr = God

[@BoBo0807]

I saw an interview with one of the Gallaghers (Noel I think - guitarist for Oasis) who had a great quote about Johnny Marr's guitar skills: "Not even *he's* as good as he is." That is, not even Johnny's as good as Johnny is! Brilliant, and spot on.

[@Vampire_Nightshade]

I wrote that on my left shoe: "Johnny Marr is God"

[@Adrian_Fernando]

Obra maestra ❤

[@ShadowCloaks]

love this recording lol the dancing at the end is beautiful

[@79steelymatt]

Best Smith's song awesome bass linedrums excellent and Marr guitar work is amazing reminds me of James "Honey Man" of The Pretenders

[@leesaunders4113]

Andy Rourke. Top notch! 👏👌👌👌

[@jimmyunited]

Talent in abundance.

[@moony3890]

This is honestly hypnotic..

[@brane000]

RIP Andy Rourke

[@kaydgaming]

It’s not enough for them to play the normal speed as is the record. Instead they say, “that’s not hard enough”, and they fucking play almost a 16th times faster. WHAT!!!

[@Zeppelinizzer]

this is soooooo goood

[@superchaserbr]

Johnny Marr makes me continue to love and to listen to The Smiths after all these years. If it wasn't for him I'd have ditched the band decades ago.

[@holdencaulfield4230]

Poco più che ventenni...che talento assurdo. Marr is just out of this world.

[@clint4789]

Del loro periodo la miglior band.Incredibile poi come praticamente siano conosciuti solo in Inghilterra e quei pochi che li conoscono al di fuori solo per i brani di The queen is dead

[@clint4789]

Bellissimo comunque incontrare un commento italiano sotto un video degli smiths.Grazie tante.

[@holdencaulfield4230]

@@clint4789 assolutamente d'accordo, in quei 5 anni di carriera sono stati semplicemente i più grandi. Per quanto mi riguarda sono una vera e propria istituzione della musica pop di ogni tempo e viaggiando molto per lavoro ho avuto modo di visitare Manchester e i luoghi in cui bazzicavano, dal Salford lads club, alla casa di Morrissey al 384 kings road di Stretford, il famigerato cemetery... . Insomma ne sono completamente innamorato!

CRACK ON THE HEAD

[@popolbruh8263]

I don't know if its just me but I think that part sounds way better live than in the original studio version. Studio version is kinda lacking passion. Here he lays that shit out

[@nicke.424]

IS WHAT YOU GET FOR NOT ASKINGGG

[@JJ-zg1hh]

@@popolbruh8263 couldn't agree more. This live version is just outstanding and better than the studio version. The studio version feels a bit slow in comparison. This one just had me jumping round the living room!

RIEP Andy Rourke, an amazing player and, by all accounts, am absolutely top bloke too ❤

[@theboywithathorninhisside.4179]

Personally fore me every dam Smiths Single should of been a Live Single Release. How different that would of shook up the then 80's Music industry. Amazing stuff. X

[@user-ep7ks3ke5z]

И это 84 год... как круто!

[@Parmera_1914]

Johny and Moz are perfect

[@kennethbogle4359]

Wow! Johnny can play.

[@mrpepperman]

Tony T . The day that Johnny Marr chose to continue playing, rather than dance with Moz, was the day The Smiths were dead. Funny you should say that, I saw a version of Barbarism and Johnny didn't dance and I thought exactly the same as your comment...

Barra acontece mesmo em casa. Respeito ❤️

[@andyp.4564]

the defining question I ask myself before watching a video of them doing this song- do Marr and Morrissey do the thing at the end?

[@celiaayneto9232]

The way Marr wears his sweater, so eighties ;)

morrissey was okay I guess, but hAVE YOU SEEN FUCKING MARR because gODDAMN 🔥

[@craigs19721972]

Marr apparently wrote the bass line for this song. I think Marr showed Rourke all the bass parts to play, and maybe Rourke actually didn't bring in anything musical to the group at all, apart from playing Marr's bass lines.

[@stevenmullins9799]

I've read countless interviews saying the opposite. Rourke's funky style isn't something Marr brought to the table, as awesome as he is.

[@LaurelCanyon1969]

Rourke brought his bass-playing and his bass lines to The Smiths.
