[thevez2001]

the vez

[slutwhisperer]

The English have been convinced they have been right ever since The Inquisition : )

[gnaples]

"..differ with the assertion that The Smiths arose during a period that music was floundering & stale. "- REM and the southern sound?

[horse69outside]

Bloke talking @20:15 has drool dribbling down his chin...

[WellWeirdGaming]

I wonder if radiohead took inspiration for "creep" from last night i dreamt i somebody loved me. Never noticed the similarities in melody and feel

[SouthParkISClass]

the desctription says the strokes hahah

[rg2027x]

@SouthParkISClass yeah...lol.

[bssalazar]

So sad :( they could have been bigger then REM

[Osc1llateW1ldly]

here is a fact, I don't know if you know it, (not an opinion): The Smiths - best band that ever was or will be (for that matter)!

[andrewptob]

It's so weird how the Smith not only abruptyl broke up over basically nothing, but there didn't seem to be any acrimony between band members, and yet, Morrissey and Marr never collaborated again, or even just hung out. Strangeways

[TheLucvD]

video description fail

[cjsa093]

i love the smiths !

[catface5183]

"where are we going?" "we're all going mad." "I thought we were going to kew gardens!"

[0O0O00O00]

@andywarstarforever led zepplin were inflenced heavily by american music. USA #1 !!!!! england sucks!!!!

[mylomaster]

@0O0O00O00 Even the Dire Straits are influenced by an american artist, called J.J. Cale, worth listening to it. American music has most of the time more glamour to it, while music from the U.K. is more into deeper lyrics and stuff, But for me it doesn't really matter.

[0O0O00O00]

@andywarstarforever prove it, NAME ONE BAND.... everyone KNOWS American rock is far superior to any english band. American music has influenced pretty much every british band.

[Andyman20k]

@0O0O00O00 The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, The Kinks, Dire Straights, New Order, The Cure, Pulp, Blur, The Smiths, Radiohead, The Who, Police, Arctic Monkies, The Libertines, Bloc Party, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Queen, David Bowie, The Strokes, Laura Marling, The Beautiful South, Fatboy Slim. Just a couple there off the top of my head. American and English music are both different but obviously the best the World has to offer, no doubt about that so quit arguing over nothing.

[StrawberryJungle]

@0O0O00O00 You clearly have almost nil knowledge of British music. You're either ignorant, stupid or a troll.

[0O0O00O00]

@andywarstarforever american rock is superior.

[WarGoatForestWolf666]

The Troy Tate sessions were no failure, they sound great. Download that shit.

[SallyCinnamonette]

oh my why are people posting about their age who cares oh by the way i'm seventeen and i'm watching this give me all the awards

[proripp]

WTF ? Dale Hibbert airbrushed from the history of the Smiths ?

Dale Hibbert was original bass player ! I know I was in a previous band with him !

Google on this occasion can be your friend !

[IndieExplorer]

@proripp Yes but he never added anything, and he only played live once, they never used any of the demos with him in and Andy Rourke came along before they had the name Smiths. plus he was pants. Marr said so.

by this logic you might say Morrisseys friend, who came on stage for their first gig dressed in drag and speaking french, was also in the band.

[jdrefahl]

Anyone else here, realize that the uploader got his descriptions wrong.  haha.. Wow, how do you really get the Smiths and the Strokes mixed up?

[kaguth]

@jdrefahl They both start with "the S____", so almost the same thing.

[allygat0rrr]

Markthompson123 I love you too. Anyone who likes the Smiths and still listens to them today is amazing. Why would I listen to awful autotuned chart music when I can listen to real music?

[Markthompson123]

@allygat0rrr i know rightt

[Markthompson123]

" like a couple of gypsies you and your mother "

[allygat0rrr]

I'm a 14 year old girl and watching this ^.^

[Markthompson123]

@allygat0rrr i love you

[memengratbu]

Im 20 years old is there anyone younger than me watching this ^_^

[Markthompson123]

@memengratbu im 19

[handsomedevil98]

I hate all the flack with Porter! I love the production on the first album more then the Torry tate sessions!

[tammillarz]

the strokes?

[PlaceOfOrigin]

A fleet of Berties

[bonezzzz]

WHY IS THE INFO ABOUT THE STROKES??!!??

[AsphaltClub]

I do love the The Strokes.

[Buddhist2k]

Is it me, or does the Jewl In The Crown documentary seem like an extension of the Under Review Doc. They both have the same interviews.

[flame0154]

What's with the info....?

[transonicbuoy1]

That prick with the short shirt and finger on chin. Who?

[transonicbuoy1]

Will that twat stop saying "classic"?

[LunaSeaSane]

05:25 And (of all people) Tony Wilson teling anyone they're full of crap is just a joke in itself.

[LunaSeaSane]

03:22 But you left out "The The", Morls.

That's the most creative name.

[MrDataCode]

It's funny the way a lot of Smith fans don't seem to get in touch with Morrissey's lyrics what so ever they just seem to base the song on the theme of his voice and the background music... it's the mentantlity of 21st century music.

[TheNovemberRomance]

around 38:20, What riff is Johnny playing? Anyone knowing?

[MegamartNL]

great upload.. The Smiths/Morrissey have been my fav band since I started listening to them at the beginning of the 90's...

[GeoMan123451]

THIS CHAARHHMING MAAAAN

[GeoMan123451]

Thank you :)

[syderwarp]

All hail the Smiths!!!!!!!!! O_o



[jay3636]

not a word about "There is a light that never goes out"???

[nikkijaneallison]

Well I don't like it either but I think this documentary is more of like a "review" from the point of view of "critics" and "music experts".

[vixxen99]

=]=]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]]the best

[Franklinn2000]

Opinions from anyone other than band members, producers, engineers, managers, road crew, or close family members are difficult to listen to...

[treid100182]

wow ... 130 minutes of ass kissing an speculation.

[MinorHeadstorm]

Some of the people's opinions make me cringe, good doc overall.

[MinorHeadstorm]

lmao The Strokes??

[dopplereffeckt675]

An interesting show.

I am just reminded that revisionist history is a wonderful thing.

To me it just reminds me of how shit British music was in the mid eighties-the choice between the sickly pop of Wham,Bros,Duran Duran or ghastly self absorbed polemic's of the Smiths and clones (Lloyd Cole,Billy Bragg,House-martins) was no choice at all.

Thankfully US and German punk, techno,house and industrial on the way,and bands like New Order saw the future.

[djgizmoe]

@dopplereffeckt675 Yes, although I enjoy several of The Smiths' singles ("How Soon is Now" is amazing), I think "ghastly self absorbed polemics" pretty much covers it. And Morrissey is such an acquired taste as a vocalist and performer. That said, there were gray areas between the sickly pop and whining at the time in England (some Depeche Mode, Siouxie, Erasure and Pet Shop Boys come to mind, as well as industrial like Coil and Nitzer Ebb) that I sometimes return to. Interesting doc.

[DRUNKENRAMBLE]

I luv how cynical Morrissey's lyrics are. He's so mean and charming at the same time! That always appealed to me as a kid when I started listening to him/them. I also heard he was gay, which I found interesting that no one made a big deal about it.

[darsieoj]

im confused, is this about the smiths or the strokes? the info area is strokes related.

[0cerveza]

& ITS FUCKEN FUNNY CUZ ALL THESE PEOPLE TALKING SHIT KNOW WHATS GOING ON ON EACH & EVERY VIDEO=)

[0cerveza]

ANOTHER THING ALL U BUNCH OF HATERS R JUST COMMENTTING CUZ U ALL R GAY!!!! JUST CUM OUT OF THE FUCKEN CLOSET & STOP HATING!!!!!

[0cerveza]

how about everybody just shut the fuck up!!!!!!! if u just so called unlike WHAT THE FUCK R U DOING WATCHING & UNLIKING? a bunch of fucken brunos!!!

[franknblunt]

I differ with the assertion that The Smiths arose during a period that music was floundering & stale. Many others were still providing good sounds. Although at the time The Clash, as well as The Cure, did have a dubious future so maybe that was regarded as the void needing to be filled. The Smiths did offer a melodic contrast to Goth & minimalism but regard the lyrics to recognize similar subject material albeit more personal & direct. Sometimes I consider their influence on reforming The Cure.

[bensimps123]

these idiots saying hand in glove wasent very good , i think its a great song .

[babydub77]

we are all going mad!!! I fuckin love that guy x lol

[louseal]

Great programe - but now it's over and heaven knows...

[formerKGBchief]

gotta love craig gannon!

[TheSlavetomoney]

how did "there is a light that never goes out" not get a mention in this?

[chrlskrkl]

the person who moz sings about in girlfriend in a coma is terry shivo for u wondering

[646TB]

Speechless I have been a DIE HARD fan since The Smiths were conceived-this was PHENOMENAL***

[bigjay1404]

And I thought that I'd seen every Smiths documentary!!

Thanks very much THECRAZEBLAZE.

[suffern63]

The bloke with the strange hair going on about somehow the smiths being unique because they were anti Thatcher must have a bad memory when he says,"these weren't fashionable things to say."Come off it,virtually all 80s groups of any substance and all the music media were completely anti Thatcher.

[Hittheroadjack1000]

The Stroops? The Strikes? ...

[SUGARPOP73]

THE STROKES,hahaha great band

[vhead1]

have no idea why they cant see the genius in hand in glove, i absolutely love that song

[deebo80sw6]

@vhead1 Very true, Hand In Glove IMO is The Smiths at their very best,those twats dont know what they are on about

[ewantee12]

Johnny Marr is my guitarist hero and inspiration.

[TroutMaskReplicaa]

0.09.19 Who is this clueless prick?

[1959canon1]

Best band ever ... no one else will ever come close

[deebo80sw6]

@1959canon1 Great band, but to say no one else comes close is a bit much. The Beatles are the greatest, but The Smiths, The Kinks and The Specials are what makes British music the envy of the world.

[Yorkmackem]

fucking great stuff, cheers

[toweronepower]

oh cheers for this uploading this one mate!

[swampdodger33]

[bagrecore]

I DONT BELIVEEEEEEE!!!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!

[zoso382]

When Synthesisers killed real music. agree

[nurofiend]

@zoso382

lol

1) great music has been made with synths

2) music isn't dead

3)what the hell is "real music"?

[ntn777]

@zoso382 than bands like Radiohead aren't real music? please, you don't know what you're talking about

[TheConstellation72]

The greatest British band of all time.

[Spraynwipex]

Thanks, good hour and a half of one of my favourite bands

[pierreerichexum]

Actually, The Smiths split up was announced by Morrissey in a french magazine then fanzine called Les Inrockuptibles not the NME

[michbeck88]

I saw Morrissey live in 2009, it was a very small concert, only about 1500 people. He played about 7 Smiths Songs and all the best of his solo stuff. It was one of the greatest moments of my life which i will never forget. I later found out through his homepage that this was actually his second favourite concert of the whole Swords-Tour...

[michbeck88]

"When Synthesisers killed real music" - what fucking bollocks , I am a fanatic Smiths Fan but also adore electronic music, so what?!?! FUCKING RETARDED CUNT

[SX1995able]

@michbeck88 I agree. I hate how a lot of documentaries have people talking from their point of view as if they`re opinion was fact.

[MrDataCode]

@SX1995able Damn! Your so right mate, I remember watching a Joy Divison documentarie on Ian Curtis and you just know that these people have not a got a clue even if they know the man in real life they did not have a clue because they had never felt depressed to such a state as he was they have never felt so lonely like he did and they did not suffer from illness... and much more, they're just jack the lads. I just hate the way that anybody whos reached 30, 40, 50 think they know the world.

[footscraysteve]

Charismatic? what about ol Nicky Cave?

[wonpoesias]

Just perfect! The Smiths still is the smiths

[neil865]

MEAT IS MURDER AND I WISH THE QUEEN WAS DEAD!

[TheLonelyDigestive]

so good

[panicmex]

great band, simply the best

[pieterjanoddens]

Hey Crazeblaze, nice documentary but you got the credits lines wrong! This is The Smiths and not The Strokes... Change it please!

[TreyRoque]

@pieterjanoddens Yeah, the Strokes just WISH they could be as good as The Smiths.

[MultiPanchisimo]

Excelente!!

[SteelEagle69]

Awesome thanks :)

[TheBookWorld]

iNCREDIBLE

[slimjimmyg]

Happy days, been looking for the whole thing, cheers!
