[NasShredder]

well, invented... not sure, what about the byrds, they are the gradpa's of the jangle pop... and in '81 r.e.m. relesed their first single, in '83 the first album... and they also have this jangling guitar... "but not very often" ; ))

[dieselskyy]

I love J.M. But he hardly INVENTED that guitar sound.

[Renegademaster15]

@dieselskyy He invented a totally unique style that hasn't be copied successfully at all

Music made in heaven. Courtesy of the great Johnny Marr.

The noise that comes out of Johnny's guitar at 21 seconds....!

[anastock]

Marr invented that sound--stolen by so many other what a freaking genius

Oh--and the smiths were the greatest that ever was

Smiths fan since 1982

Yeah I'm old--what about it????

[wiganowl05]

Johhny Marr is the greatest guitarist thats ever been.. or ever will be.

If you disagree.. I'll spit in your eye!!

[maiden666guitar]

He's bad ass, but not the greatest.

Man, from this vid you'd never think Craig and Johnny didn't get along....at the end they seemed to be having a lot of fun.

[aaartnaz]

johnny marr looks cool when he's telling the people what to do and then throws his cigarette butt out and starts riffing

[ftma6768]

i love it

[mamamcqueen]

Umm....sorry but that's Johnny. Watch other vids on here where he's smokin' and playing at the same time. That's him silly.

[ellycat]

I didn't mean 'it wasn't him in the vid'. I was commenting on how brilliant he is at playing the guitar when it looks like he isn't playing it. Hope this clears things up.

[mamamcqueen]

:) Yes, he is rather brilliant, isn't he? Uggh, I could watch this over and over. :)

[ftma6768]

the best ever!!!!

[ellycat]

Johnny Marr is taking the piss. No way is he playing on this vid. Watch closer peeps!

[tobydogger]

This ain't TOTP or TATTOO. Marr is (IMO) the Rolls Royce of guitarists and looks as though he isn't playing when he actually is! I implore you to watch again.

[ellycat]

Yes my bad. I asked a friend who is a guitarist and he told me what Johnny was doing. I do actually feel silly for posting that previous comment. Peace out bro.

[mamamcqueen]

Johnny is adorable!!1

[lichdictator]

love it! I wish I could have seen him back then, alas I would've only been 1 lol. Thanks to boyleastlikelyto for all his great contributions!

[slynglen]

Rock 'n' Roll at its best ever!
