Johnny Marr performs Bigmouth Strikes Again at Glastonbury 2019. Guidance: Contains flashing images. Visit bbc.co.uk/glastonbury for more videos and photos
I'll always argue that Morrissey as much as Johnny gave the Smiths their signature sound. Both their music is shit these days, that doesn't change the signature brilliance to morrissey's lyrics and johnny's guitar playing.
I met this guy in 2019, after one of his concerts in Italy. Nicest dude ever! He was so humble and polite; he even took some time to chat and ask questions to every single person who had been waiting for him. I remember him asking me what genres I listened to and if I played any instruments. I was shaking so much, I almost passed out haha! He really did his best to calm me down, lol! I'm 18 and Johnny is literally one of my biggest idols. I'm so happy my expectations were not disappointed, I swear I'll remember that day until I die.
He's so down to earth I told him my lil bro was starting his journey with the guitar and that i randomly try to play it too and he went into the venue to get a pick for me and my bro I was so shocked and shaking he kept hugging me to get our picture taken 😭 He was so generous and kind I wish I asked him for an autograph but that experience he gave me was all I need for my life to be honest 🥺
Hey, I saw him with the Pretenders on U2's Joshua Tree tour, and swore to God that Jim Honeyman Scott had got up out of the grave to play the Pretenders' best hits!!!!!
I was privileged to see The Smiths 26/10/86 London Palladium at the age of 12. They closed with Bigmouth, this song is beyond perfection. When God made Johnny he was just showing off !!
Omg Guys pls this man has released 3 solo records and a live record if u would have showed any interests at all in Johnny then u probably would have known this.... gosh OFC HE CAN SING!!!
His set for the hi hello tour is straight fire. Just enough of the old stuff if that's what you came for, but all the new stuff on the set list is great
Johnny marr one of the best ever of telling the whole story with the riff alone. What a player. Now that Jeff has passed I think this has to be the living hero of the instrument. My muse
Just saw this band a few months ago. FANTASTIC and Johnnys solo music is great. I mean it....if there was ever an artist to support its Johnny Marr. What a band...
Do you really think that Morrissey or anyone else really gives a flying one about how Joan of Arc felt as the flames rose up her Roman nose and her hearing aid started to melt?
@@dannywestwood4113 Why are you asking me if I think that anyone would care about the way Joan of Arc felt? It's not relevant to my comment. But I'll try for the sake of conversation. I'm not sure what you mean by anyone, that's a big number of people, so I don't know if anyone out of the whole of the population cares for Joan of Arc. I definitely think she was an amazing individual. Regarding Morrrissey, I have no idea either. He wrote a song about her, I would think he at least got to think about her story. And something to keep in mind would be to understand that the most important thing about Joan of Arc is not that she got burned. It is what she accomplished with the little tools she had.
Morrissey and Marr need to do at least a few concerts together again. Marr's not bad at singing but he is a God at guitar and Morrissey has terrific vocals still. Please for the good of humanity get back together.
Damn I didn't know Johnny can SING! Amazingly well considering how difficult it must be to play this song. This is the first time I ever heard him. Nicely done Mr. Marr.
I could hear the thoughts of the drummer and he was cursing mike joyce's way of playing the cymbals. "it's almost over" he thought when he wanted to faint.
@@SKYSAW59 , not by us but mention him to other people and many have never heard of him. If you don't know Indie music you probably don't know him. One of the best ever in my book:)
Johnny Marr IS the signature sound of the Smiths. His guitar efforts gave the Smiths their soul.
I'll always argue that Morrissey as much as Johnny gave the Smiths their signature sound. Both their music is shit these days, that doesn't change the signature brilliance to morrissey's lyrics and johnny's guitar playing.
Andy Rourke is super underrated in my opinion and really adds in Headmaster ritual to name a few.
PK Fawful I agree
@@Wilantonjakov The vocals are just as important as the lyrics. Smiths guitar without Morrissey vocals is like pizza with non-dairy cheese.
@@Wilantonjakov sound man, sound. lyrics is not sound.
Johnny Marr is a great guitarist, but his ability to play these intricate riffs while singing is just amazing.
You must be deaf because that was a sloppy mess.
@@hamwamson7580 you must have been listening to something else mate
Had enough practice
"Intricate"
It's literally beginner level strumming.
@@guitaristssuck8979 u don't play?
I had never heard Johnny Marr sing before. Wow!
O duh he's guitarist only
Dude - I’ve seen Marr live x2 in the last 12months (in Canada!). Was brilliant! Last yr he dropped his 3rd solo album.
he is multi-talented since the early days ....
@James Richards sounds much better than when he first started solo. his vocals then were truly cringeworthy.

Grande Vale. Beate te che hai incontrato Jonny Marr. Che icona musicale.
Grande Johnny e grande Valentina!
That’s awesome

1:45 "And now I know how Johnny Marr felt,
Now I know how Johnny Marr felt ..."
Lol good catch!
I swear it also sounds like he says “Morrissey strikes again” just the line before
@@blurryblur3291 nah its big mouth
He did that out here in Los Angeles last month and it was hilarious.
Nice!!!!
The drummer deserves mad props! Awesome 👍👍👍
@Ngubu Scotchbonnet yeah whatever
@Ngubu Scotchbonnet 😂😂
@Ngubu Scotchbonnet Basic stuff? Did you not hear him going ham on the hihat 16th notes?
Hey Jack love your sparkly shirt!
@Ngubu Scotchbonnet cool cool
I'm a 50 year old man and the second I heard those opening chords I started to tear up.
Get a grip
I am not 50 yet but I second you, David!
Me too.It's fucking dire.
I'm a 68 model.
@@crypto_bull hahahah
Oh...sing it, Johnny! My teenage heart is melting, along with my Walkman™.
Now you know how Joan of Arc felt
I see Johnny's shirt game is still strong.
next level shirts
Could do with trading in his 1964 Beatle wig for something a little more realistic though.
@@blackmore4 I don't know. I think that little patch of white lends a touch of authenticity to Johnny's wig. If in fact it is a wig.
@@nolagospeltracts8264 not a wig thats his hair.
@@blackmore4 not a wig
Johnny's voice has more of a punk like feel, an edge to it than Morrissey's. different ways to listen to the same song..
A punk feel meaning the just do it ethos, even if you're not very good?
Dude he sings fine ! This is live music and performed with passion !drummer, bass guitars all kikkkin a$$
@@ExternalInputs except he certainly is very good, he nailed it.
Agreed. Johnny has more right to play and sing this song than anyone else on the planet.
Al Pacino looking gooood!
😂😂
02:04 Say Hello To My Little Friend
Hoo Wah!
HAHAHA😂
He totally resembles him..I've always thought the same...Yes looking good!!
Can we just appreciate the backing musicians for a second, the sheer ability to keep up with johnny in this performance is astounding.
I'm sure they know it's a privilege it reflects in their performances
How could someone doesn't like Marr? He is a genius and a great human being.
Saw The Smiths at Glastonbury in 1984.
Jeez, I’m old.
Delete 💖
come on, 84 thats just like yesterday...
no one is old, just wiser.
More than that, I'd say you're incredibly fortunate! A Smith's concert world be my first stop if I had a time machine
Fuck it tho.
Of course he's no Moz but Johnny's singing is actually alright
I honestly prefer it.
Lukas R. Thank god. If he was Mozz we’d be watching an ageing facist strut his right wing nonsense around the stage.
@@kurainaru no... Morrissy is a born again racist! If you can defend what he's said then you don't know what national pride is ya melt
Isaac He openly supports a blatantly racist far right political movement, so I would call him a fascist in that regard.
@@kurainaru Thank you, everyone else on here seems the think he is devil incarnate. I disagree with alot of his views but that doesn't make him a nazi
The 257 dislikes are all morrissey
Hahahahaha 😂
Morrisey is a god compared to sell out Marr
@@436799 how so ?
@@dannysweeney3754 Marr is BBC establishment figure. He's abandoned and criticised moz badly for having a different political view.
@@436799 thanks for your response.
The real genius behind The Smiths.
Yeaaaaahhhhh
Him and rourke
The genius was indivisible.
@Imix Muan but they'd just be unheard and unread poetry.
Naaaah
Didn't know that Johnny has such a wonderful voice. It gives the song something interesting. Great.
This guy can really do it all huh. The Smiths, Talking Heads, Modest Mouse. What a legend
Don't forget The The.
@@pamcm1098 and Electronic!
Hey, I saw him with the Pretenders on U2's Joshua Tree tour, and swore to God that Jim Honeyman Scott had got up out of the grave to play the Pretenders' best hits!!!!!

It's a great classic indie rock song, fits into his recent live set just perfectly, proves his solo stuff's marvelous as well.
What a great vocal Marr has and such impressive guitar playing, what a legend!
お前が歌うんかい！ってなったけど全く違和感なく楽しめました、参りました。
I want mozzer and johnny to be together again so bad it hurts
they have absolutely nothing to fight about
He's aged better than Morrissey in many ways
Yeah, not having cancer helps a lot for a start, cheers x
Like a nice aged steak.....
He quit drinking , smoking ... He has run more miles than Forrest Gump maybe ...
Just For Men
he certainly has, he's not a racist cunt for starters
Great cover! Full of energy. Johnny Marr innovative. Basslines excellent.
I mean Johnny wrote the guitar parts originally so not really a cover
Johnny Marr with his voice and chords will always win me over
I have now watched several Johnny Marr live performances on CZcams and must say his drummer is pretty awesome.
Bloody hell. The smoke, the flags, the sound. Epic.
i really like the signature sound of johnny. His choice of chords is always on point
HOLY FUCKING SHIT THAT WAS AWESOME.
Hes old but still rocking... hes a legendary.. salute you sireee❤
JM in Boston on Oct 10. Got my tix. Stoked.
Anyone watching March 2020 and feeling depressed seeing groups of people together enjoying themselves?
Bruh, watching in april 2021
Amazing, I was there !
I love Johnny Marr, guitar, his song writing, I loved him in Electronic aswell, and this song here is epic...
Thanks for the support, recognition and love towards me 🎻& I am captivated❤️. where are you watching from
Never listened to Johnny Marr before. Wow. Superb.
What a performance, thanks Johnny ! x
no puede tocar tan bien la guitarra este monstruo es increíble Johnny Marr es INCREIIIBLEEE!!!!
Wow, this guitar sound is so great! It’s great to see that Johnny can make it live that good!
PS: thanks Johnny, it helped me a lot to learn this!
Goosebumps, baby - great drumming too!
I LOVED that sound! Such memories!!!! The guitar work was just so awesome!
Love you Johnny. You never fail to hit the performance nail right on the head. I swear,never fail.
Oh goosebumps... Wish I was there, they sounds like The Smiths without Morrissey. Johnny is my guitar hero! Forever
The Smiths is just not The Smiths without Craig Gannon.
They sound like The Smiths without Morrissey ...
No shit Sherlock 😂🤣
@@thejoin4687 😂
There is no such thing as "The Smiths without Morrissey"
and let's not forget John Deacon
Oh wow...god he’s an amazing guitarist. Seeing and hearing him live really reinforces just how skilled he is.
So happy to see Johnny out there being "Johnny FU**IN' Marr"
This is pure genius! To play while singing like that!
Saw him at the barras in Glasgow in November, honestly one of the best live performances I’ve been to
Many a happy night at the barras. That bouncy dancefloor too.
Johnny has energy and spunk!
Fantastic! So bloody talented!!❤
He sounds great!
He's a ROCKET loaded with fuel & a fabulous band! Love to Glastonbury & BBC for Indie support
I was really impressed with Johnny's vocals when I first heard him sing. He doesn't take away from the original sound 👍
Wow, brilliant performance...🎯
I was at the front !! this was my highlight xx love Johnny so.much :) x
Thanks for the support, recognition and love towards me 🎸& I am captivated❤️. where are you watching from
0:23 0:36 when you’re overwhelmed by the amazingness of your own song
Still sounds great.
Brilliant. Johnny Marr ROCKS!
He slipped under my radar. I played from the mid 60s till now. Subscribed. I like his guitars and playing.
guitar rock will never die
Amen
Johnny is so good live
Was surreal to see this live. How soon is now was even better.
Just saw this band a few months ago. FANTASTIC and Johnnys solo music is great. I mean it....if there was ever an artist to support its Johnny Marr. What a band...
Ladies and gentlemen, guitar hero... Johnny Fucking Marr
Sings it like his old mate !! Fantastic
The Queen is Dead is one of the greatest albums ever made and this is one of the best songs on it
Agreed but I'd say their first three together are equally brilliant
Hell yes!! Outstanding Johnny Marr!
It’s also interesting that Joan of Arc is still somehow present in this modern society. Her story, devotion, mission and individuality are monumental.
"Now i know how joan of arc felt" what being burnt alive or being forced to eat meat?
Do you really think that Morrissey or anyone else really gives a flying one about how Joan of Arc felt as the flames rose up her Roman nose and her hearing aid started to melt?

Great performance!!! Go Johnny!!!
I seen Johnny Marr in Madrid at a festival, I’m Irish and he gave me a wave and put his fist in the air.
I had an Ireland football jersey on
