Morrissey - Jack The Ripper (live)

[marigolds44]

The first day this concert dvd was released a local theatre played it that night. I couldn't get off work to go. It was probably full of wierdos anyways.

[stryhnbas]

3:08 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah:)

[bfyhwgbeywt473874bhf]

You don't agree,but you don't refuse me sounds like it's from the jewish bible:'Don't do onto others what you don't want others do onto you'.Fantastic song!

[Nonmachaine]

His smile at 1:44 so gorgeous

[SuperKojim]

Great Performance, Song

doesn't morresey remind you of a drunk trying to tell a story at a bar? or is it just me?

[thechickyoung]

And if it's the last

Thing I ever do

I'M GONNA GET YOU

Your face, is as mean, as your life has been.

- Morrissey - Legend

[ichigatsujohn]

I think Boz Boorer is an amazing guitarist, and has written amazing songs with Moz over the years...

[JuanJavierAguirre]

Manida ...you will always be in my heart...I will miss you and little Matthew

[camarones75]

Line up or no line up moz is great.

[TorgeistLLN]

I love Moz but his lineup will never match the brilliance and talent of The Smiths. Sorry but it's the truth.

[mozaphile]

@TorgeistLLN truth? wtf? your opinion is not truth. moz was the smiths

[TheRollerdisco]

Morrissey and the 91- present lineup are just as great as the Smiths were.

How many versions of this song are there.

But what is cool is how they have several different live versions of this song.

[ItTakesStrength]

black & white suits Moz x

[mozluv80]

Classic!! So many memories. LOVE U FOREVER MOZ!!!

[xkbix]

I worship this man. This incredible man...

[Jaguarmoon]

no matter how many times I hear this song... I love it more every time I hear it!!! The Moz is brilliant!!!

[1976RMM]

Oh! Moz, How i love thee <3

[rodheltir]

just make my cry

[AnnaSnicket]

i love i love i love i love i love i love lvoe love love love love lvve love love love

[javierpellin]

This man is god

[uncled39]

Superb

[SuperMyral]

no matters original version or not....just passion!

[chrs229]

thank you very much for video one of the greatest artist of our time

[mrmattc1978]

love it , maybe better than the Beethoven was deaf version

[PietblouXO]

originals are always way better.. i'm in a band and there is nothing better than playing your idols songs. very uplifting

[CrackThoseClaws]

Passionate song with strong lyrics. His voice sounds so honest and the way he moves is as if he's actually living the song.

[bebimoz]

after listening to MCR and AFI's versions I just has to hear the gorgeous original again... I wanted to check one more time it's still there to make my day... no matter how many versions are made, there's nothing like this. Moz is one of a kind.

[EditorTasha]

I'm ashamed to say this is the first time I've ever heard this song. Luckily, I already love it :-)

[daveyharsh]

Um where's the rest of the gig o be ound!!

[aguilar82]

wwwooww great

[B18CDB8Marcus]

my favoritest song from morrissey from my favoritest artist of all time

[girlfriendofnone]

I can't leave this one alone..

It rips my heart out every time and yet...I seem to be coming back for more.

why?

[girlfriendofnone]

This song is so nice.

The only lovesong Morrissey ever has written to a girl - and then he's bloody ironic.

It's pure poetry.

[legendaryfatcat]

This is the definitive version. Trumps the studio version and the covers by a landslide.

[CrackThoseClaws]

Bands have tried to make covers of this song, but they're just bad...

[Pandaman69X0xo]

the AFI cover of this song sucks !!! -__-

[HardforJesus]

@Pandaman69X0xo AFI sucks period.

[diesel16656]

@HardforJesus

The AFI cover of this song is sick - you're full of it

[HardforJesus]

@diesel16656 Sorry. Not into bands that are so insecure and unoriginal that they have to change their records radically to sound like whoever the singer is currently envious of.

[uncled39]

@diesel16656 Yes I was sick when I heard it as well.

[Feedthegoat]

Morrissey,i love you, best song ever live

[MrsNickiNotorious]

I love this song so.. *-*

[msc698cc1]

I think the live version off of "world of morrissey" is the best version I have ever heard, and i cant find it on here and i dont own the disk anymore

[cheatboy00]

Original is best beyond everything. Though Colin Meloy's take on some of Morrissey songs are the only covers that even come close.

[christmyer23]

i think AFI does this song better i know he wrote it n all but they do it better its just my opinion i mean no negativity just sharin my feelings

[snoimcr]

just inspiring song, stirs so many emotions!

[durkadurkas]

I'm....I'm gonna get youuuuuuuuu

love it

[durkadurkas]

yes.

[Psgurl90069]

Morrissey rocking Whitechapel! Love this track!

[xoAkatlynAxo]

<3 morrissey

[xoAkatlynAxo]

this is brilliant. i've never seen this live version before. :)

[Mozzerella100]

2:08 im gonna get you *hand gesture*

[spongebake]

Its should be a crime punishable by death to even attempt to cover any morrissey song its not as if it could be any better than the master lyricist that is MORRISSEY.

[TheJahnu]

Cant stop listening to this

[javierpellin]

This man is god!!

[hi0u50fd]

the emotion in this performance is just awe inspiring

[rockondon]

the best morrissey song of alltime :0)

[tinkyw67]

what a great song! I love Morrissey!!

[KnowThyself7]

Put this shit on Blu Ray so I can jam!!!! Bring out the coke and wine, I'll dance to it all night!!!! I love this song!

[damobrfc1875]

Covers!?!? As morrissey once said, why meddle with a masterpiece?

[irighterotica]

I feel like listening to the Smiths now...

[justme788]

love his smile at 1:44. >:)

:D

[cheesemonging]

SO GOOD

[Jaguarmoon]

This is my fave version of this song. There's definitely that Je ne se qua about it! Dang Moz, I'm addicted to you! Will see you this weekend in Indio! CAN'T WAIT!!!! Thanks for posting!!!!

[blackl1steddrums]

wow he totally cancelled, sorry friend. Im already sure you saw him w me @Gibson Amphitheatre, right?

[Jaguarmoon]

Nah, didn't have tickets for that show!!! :(

How was it?

[theworldisugly1331]

you really cannot hate on AFI [save for MCR too, sadly] i mean...in no way is either of their versions Morrissey, but they put theri own spin on the song. that deserves some merit. I mean come on, even if a cover sucked, wouldn't you be proud if bands covered your song?

[ct4boro]

Both covers do suck ...just cos sum1 covers your song it doesn't mean that just cos it makes you proud doesn't mean it deserves any gradifacation beacuse thr two of the worst covers i've ever heard and ruined the song more then anything!!

[NightmareGanon]

AFI's was just them opting for a different sound in the arrangement, ending up being pseudoaccoustic. and while Davey's voice doesn't do justice to Morrissey's, you can tell he is trying to put emotion into it.

MCR apparently never got the memo that the song IS supposed to be sublime, instead of just screamign like an estereotypical "psycho".

[sarahkevinjonas]

a 'fuck you' to AFI is certainly warranted.

[ThePSYCHO187]

moz

[veganxvengeance]

I'mmmmma gonna get you.

[fdineen]

Whitechapel the Mecca of London

[LikidySplitz]

oh man you are a lost hope.

[RedRainbowItaly]

... Are you joking, aren't you ??

[Vincebot]

Fuck you

[willygrapes]

we all know covers ruin things but fuck off and leave AFI alone

[Buddhist2k]

you must be shitting me!

[mozfan70]

That little smile after He sings "you don't care if you're lost".......it gets me EVERY time. BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!

[BlackNarcissus888]

My Chem are cunts who should be killed and never be allowed near a fucking Morrissey tune ever!

[InvisibleHandgun]

i agree

[Buddhist2k]

A-fucking-MEN

[Buddhist2k]

i sincerely hate My Chemial Romance... fuckin twats!

[efee52]

thats what i keep on telling my friends but they think they're are the best thing to happen ever and it's like they suck as much as any shitty band ever oh i'm still talking about them woops

[blackl1steddrums]

support your friends. period

[bitteroblivionhazza]

@BlackNarcissus888 u mad?

[SociallyRejected]

@BlackNarcissus888 Hear Hear!! 

[ciaranhannonyoyo]

@BlackNarcissus888 fact of the matter is morrissey and the smiths were the ones who MCR admired thats why they did a cover

[KeroseneKid2019]

@BlackNarcissus888 i think they made morrissey more popular by showing theyre fans morrisseys music. thats how i found out about moz and now i a big fan

[TheAmnesiaGrrl]

@BlackNarcissus888 OH MY GOD. If I have to see ONE MORE person complain about a COVER of an "old" song I will fucking throw my computer out of the window (figuratively of course). MCR may not be great and they may even be completely shitty in your opinion, but doing a COVER of a song does NOT hurt ANYTHING! They like Morrissey and make a lot of references to him in their music; what's wrong with that? The only people who think this is a problem are snobs who think they own the music.

[jungsbodyguard]

@TheAmnesiaGrrl I'm curious. How can one 'figuratively' throw a computer out of a window? I understand the term when in the context of "flip out" or "go beserk". But your example is very literal and apt; as you will be sitting at a computer, as you read this.

I agree with the content of what you said, though. Why do people care about covers? It's not like all previous versions are destroyed once a new one is made.

[TheAmnesiaGrrl]

@jungsbodyguard I understand what you mean. I was just trying to look for a word better than "literally" and that's what first came to mind.

[TheeCakeIsaLie]

My Chem did a pretty nice cover of this.

[MionieEvo]

god, the AFI cover sounds so much better!!!

[amen2u]

LMAO!!! The AFI cover sounds like dog shit at best. AFI can't do any good covers, the only thing they know how to do is murder good songs. <3 MORRISSEY

[patrickj25]

learn you shit.

[scandal369]

This is very sexy.

[fileundergrain]

I cannot stop listening to this... this is a gem, a perfect pop song. And the delivery - well, I will do what I have to do to be at the next Morrissey show...

[hypemike]

also could there be anything better than the way he says "agreEEEEEEE" at the end...so much passion you can feel it right off the screen

[hypemike]

this is just so freakin great....my favorite performance on the DVD. way better than the studio version the way he switches up the hook a bit and also the end....ahhhh!!! its so good!!!

[DarkChii77]

a really beautiful live!!

he has such an amazing voice and i love how relaxed he is the whole time.

[nitter123]

Morrissey was AWESOME in The Smiths....... THE SMITHS FOR EVER!!!

[JVBx17]

this is gonna sound mean but he kinda looks like dewey cox

[hateloveartabuse]

one of my favorites

[IndeedYouAre]

Love it still, but why is the "nobody knows me" part gone from all the live versions and remakes? Did Morrissey later decide he didn't like that part or something?

[stillnobodysnothing]

still in love with this one .i would have layed at his feet an cryed on them cleaning them with my hair had he came to my garage sale . how luckey you are !!!!

[chicagomeltdown]

true story. The Morrissey came to our garage sale.

[stillnobodysnothing]

fuck afi or mcr . this is the ONLY verson of this song that matters. st moz patron saint o sarrow. an all with no eyeliner. le sigh!!

[Rafixx336]

fuck you punky boy

[gollum8328205]

fuck this! afi is the only good version out there

[NikSM2008]

hairs tingled on the back of my neck and straight down my spine on his first verse....

Moz is a treasure who we should cherish, he is ours remember

[666serialkiller666]

Goosebumps...

[stillnobodysnothing]

god i love this song.moz makes my day go by smoother. crash in to my arms. i want you. you dont agree but you dont refuse me. i know you.

[NicktheBarber31]

musical orgasm

[stillnobodysnothing]

i agree. my god i can listen to this version over an over

[CityofDreadfulDelite]

Ill-housed and ill-advised...

Your face is as mean...

As your life has been... Soooo...

Crash into my arms.

[mercurymagic2]

screaming lord sutch wrote a song called jack the ripper but its not this song

[crookedspokeadjacent]

Whatever you want to say about Morrissey, this is a great song and absolutely trumps either of those god awful covers which were somehow released.

[ajacksb]

this version is so much better than the 90s version

[gladiator4393]

his band has such a tight sound...

[cn862004]

This song is fantastic.

I do prefere the version on introducing morrissey and on my live at the zenith paris cd though.

Back in the uk soon, cant wait!

[Donald931]

It's great, i also like the white stripes song with the same title, it's also got great quality with jack white's guitar and his soulful skills.

[pauliinter]

this is one of the best songs ever a great live version

[greatesthtis]

where have this song been all my life? how is it just now that i have become enlightened of the extreme beauty and immense emotion of this remarkable piece?

[ahhnikitaa]

there are no words to describe morrissey's amazing talent.

he is incredible.

[noallegiances]

Amazing video and amazing version of this amazing track. To add to the conversation, AFI did a version of it as well, make of that what you will.

[anonymice14]

MCR COVERED THIS SONG?

Omg are you kidding?

Oh my God.

O_O

[reindas]

welcome to the real world :D

[347714]

si y es una mierda no lo crees

malditos posers

[simunb123]

Unfortunatley they did cover it. For your own safety don't listen to it.

[IchbinSchalker]

I hate MCR!!! I wish them to go to hell.

[Coldacre]

I can't believe how well he still sings, he's a freak. I'm a Smiths die-hard who's stuck in the 80's. but hearing him sing like that............ wow.

[BlackNarcissus888]

MCR can fuck off, little EMO idiots who don't realise the massive impact that Moz/Smiths had upon British music from the 80's onwards, Don't hijack the music of a legend because you are a boil in the bag piece of shit( EMO ,)directed at nausiating American teenagers shit band) who couldn't fucking carry Stephen Patrick Morrissey's fucking Jock Strap. Thank you very much and good night.

[kgis17]

plenty of times.

thank God.

he is amazing. i almost fainted when i saw him

:'(

but i got through it and cried, but didnt faint.

LOL

[kgis17]

he makes me want to do things!

his voice, his looks

everything about this man kills me inside (in a good way)

"if it's the last thing i do, im gonna get you Morrissey!"

i love you!

:D

[crashingbores]

I completely agree. He drives me insane inside. In a good way, as you say...Have you seen him live?

[psychoticneurotic1]

fucking love it

[EmilyMEebi]

i like all three vershions I have heard i don't really know which I like better.

[conradskill]

as much as i like this song and the original

imust say i prefer the AFI cover

:S

[ronsurf]

This is a fantastic version.

...With your mouth, slack and wide. Ill-housed and ill-advised...

[greenphantom]

Oh, you look so tired

[javpea]

this song is ok but i think the one done by MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE its better

[RIPcaseycalvert911]

yea i thought mcr made the origanal x] my mistake

[someonenoticeimdead]

youre a cunt.

[SpeshelEdTed]

dude, the mcr cover is crap.

[moderndaypandora]

personally, i think both versions are GREAT! i know that most covers never beat the original, but mcr are really really good at doing covers by adding their own punk-ish twist without disrespecting the original. I love both Morrisey and mcr and Jack the Ripper is my current obsession. so i listen to both versions of this song so i don't get too freaked out when i look up his victims...

SERIOUSLY, DON'T FUCKING DO IT - IT'S SOOOOO FUCKING CREEPY!!!!!!!

[ronsurf]

Not much, but something. ;)

[HeirApparent01]

Rather mild, Vareed.

[laybackinthapark]

Amazing.

[Leedog6677]

Great song... But the Bass line is really lacking in the chorus as apposed to the Gary Day bass line in World of Morrissey Version

[HeirApparent01]

Voor Stan.

XXX

Guido

[ski8807]

this video is incredible..Love It

[Michaelingolfhansen]

The intro is chilling! Amazing!

Moz = the coolest man ever to have walked on this planet!!!

[IchbinSchalker]

Yes, yes, yes... I agree 101% with you... you are completely right. He is my inspiration to live.

[giannaalessandra]

Damn He Is Hot!!!!

[AFIandMCR]

AFI is better

[ohgrous]

better than britney spears, but horrible compared to Moz and the Smiths. I totally agree.

thinkin of wot jack the ripper did makes me disgrace my own nam
