The Smiths - Hand in Glove

[123jsbach]

Noel Gallagher directed me here! Imagine!

[phil9829]

morrisey,really is a twat.

[Esperant3]

Did I just see Johnny Marr smiling?

[andresvana]

the live version is the best much better than studio version

[AphroMagic]

The sound on this video kinda sounds like it came from a warped record, is that because this video was compressed too much? Not complaining, I actually really like the way it sounds.

[superaltman]

@AphroMagic Same effect as on a record, it just would have come from a tape somewhere along the lines, stretching or inconsistent playback speed or something. Its generally called "wow and flutter" in the case of tape audio.

I also love the sound of it :D

[FemaleCreaturee]

Helo, I love you.

[jaggertone]

19 dislikes? Who are these people?

[Robinhoodarch]

one and meat?

[suiseisekiryu]

WTF?? I am listening this fabolous song and next a shakira video??? come on people .... this cant be right.... dont mix the garbage with the musical caviar

[andresvana]

[tresenelfondo]

Tremendos videos estos de Madrid, excelente que pongan las letras en traducciones exactas (algo bastante inusual). Mejor banda desde los Beatles

[needlearmor]

beautiful bass guitar work

[almamatters2471]

to put it simply, they were and are the only band that has ever really mattered.

[leiro1]

@sas147741 hand in globe es una expresión inglesa para referirse a dos personas inseparables, por lo que uña y carne es una traducción que roza la perfección, al contrario que la traducción literal que tú propones, sin nigún sentido.

[sas147741]

@leiro1 tenes razon, hable sin saber.

Un Abrazo aguanten The Smiths carajo!

[waywardsuns]

kickass!!!

[roxannemercedes]

There's no one quite like Marr

[gigagoldfinder]

Check out 'Convalescence Kid: Nothing left to lose' This guy is pretty awesome!!!

[MandaOwl]

One of the most romantic songs ever.

[maultiermaster]

Marr just has this unique style, he makes his own epic thing, for me he is great, because this long haired people like malsteem and guys like him, dont know they play just rly fast, if i do the same excerices for month i can be fast too, but Marr got this crazy sound and rythems, and he also he never has real riffs, its always just ringing and floating into strumming

[felicityknickerhead]

fuck the sound, I'm hearing the meaning, the whole point, the message....shut up and listen....I'll fight to the last breath..I'll probably never see you again...

[joenole2112]

sound is not too hot on this vid

[HelloxNasty]

Does anyone know if this Madrid show is available as a bootleg somewhere?

[basicliving4u]

First rate musicianship!

[JateGuitar]

2:45 best concert move ever.

[fun2010K]

the smiths e d+ LOL.

[markkenworthy]

when we talk about bands who gave people a voice, something to cherish, there can be no better example of this that the smiths...epic band.

[MrTonkacat]

Geez I am hooked on this song. Every note and every word.

[piersastontaylor]

16 people are fucking retarded?

[MozzaChick]

@piersastontaylor

Yes completly retarded!

Hang them.

[TheRippingCorpse]

@piersastontaylor Welcome to the interwebz!

[bcjaliu]

I agree, brilliant guitar parts..but most bewitching of all is how Marr got that great jangly tone out of a fucking Les Paul...brilliant :D

[gneeba]

@bcjaliu all the time i think "how is possible get that tone witch LP & 335"? how, for christ sake!!!!

[MrTonkacat]

As a guitar player, you could spend the rest of your life trying to play this song, this

well. Words cant define how good Marr is.

[SuperHardcoreFox1]

marr pulled it off live with out dubs amazing

[junkhop]

@SuperHardcoreFox1

There is something bizarre about Johnny Marr's guitar style - doing this rhythm and melody thing at once, so cool

[jibberjabberman]

no were near enough views!!

[tomgoldswain2]

@jibberjabberman enough for what?

[jibberjabberman]

@tomgoldswain2 ? sorry? i said not enough views as in more people should watch this.

[lanoviadepetedoherty]

oh god, morrissey is a genius

[laika288]

@legunncat As much as I love R.E.M. (and I have loved them a lot longer than The Smiths by a good few years) the Smiths just pip it for me. Maybe it's because they are in the grand scheme of thing relatively local to me in the borderlands of North wales and I feel that relation. I have no doubt that R.E.M. are one of the best bands ever and certainly of the last 40 years. On the other hand The Smiths never got the chance to put out dross such as Around the Sun or indeed play those massive stadia

[TheAsrunDreams]

Even better than the studio version. O.ó

[andruchina]

Me encantan como la traducen: "uña y carne." El que le dió ese título en español definitivamente entiende muy bien el significado de la canción.

[TheAsrunDreams]

Que gran verdad ^_^

[Eltroim]

@andruchina si y cual es? uña y carne no tiene nada que ver con hand in glove.

pa mi el escribio man in love y dsp lo cambio.

[noelmcquaid]

to tomgoldswain2 -try a good enema ,it might sort you out .

[manwithnoname123]

the music of the SMITHS was so great that they could be forgiven if they were just a "studio" band. but the fact that they could pull it off live is just astonishing. Johnny Marr always sounds like he's got a couple other guitarists playing behind him - just genius. and of course, let's not forget Moz's charismatic vocals. the best!

[japanesexxx]

@manwithnoname123 the 4 of them were great

[McRae2509]

I genuinely think this is the best love song I've heard. The solidarity and reality is just amazing. Who ever said the Smiths were miserable!

[dbeater1]

what a great band..

[TheBeatlesboy1]

yeah they were !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jibberjabberman]

the warp on the intro

[tomgoldswain2]

Interesting expression. I think we all disguise our ego's in varying ways, even with the excuse of recreational drugs. This sort of social disguise hardly existed thousands of years ago, what you saw was what you got.

[daryl1q1]

What a sound. Those four guys had something very special. Note: FOUR guys. Joyce and Rourke are fantastic.

[jcnota13]

NEW WAVE

[harnas2929]

swietny utwor wierze piekno ukryte w the smiths. EVOL.

[NOXxcountessxXON]

(8) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[subatomic1977]

LOVE

[ManiX89]

They sounded so much better live!

[16mikesz]

I was born too late.

[laika288]

I still can't get over just how good they are...when I say good I mean the best pop band of the last 40 years hands down.

[whereangelsplay1]

I wouldnt say they were POP

Id say more indie/alternative possibly?

[tacoeatingzebra]

@whereangelsplay1 that's more marketing terminology. they are a pop band in the tradition of the beatles and the kinks.

[pimpunclemo]

I think the term for their genre was MOD.

[evertonio]

@pimpunclemo . they were never a Mod band. They were after that era.

[pimpunclemo]

what were they then? Its a genre mystery ha.

[TheMickeytoll]

such great guitarplay cannot be POP!!!

[legunncat]

@laika288 I don't know about the very best, but they are certainly up there. I would argue REM, but they are both similar to my ears.

[LewisKiernan]

@laika288 Best pop band of all time, hands down.

[gratefuldrake]

@laika288 agree!!!

[piguitit0]

grandes smiths mi banda favorita!!!!

[cubanzombie]

johnny marr can tear slash apart.

[mortlach23]

MUG

[TheRippingCorpse]

@cubanzombie Not a fair comparison. They don't nearly have the same style. But if we are going to be silly, then Dave Mustaine is better than both of them. And I'm sure somebody will come up with a guitarist better then him...

[MELLSBAD]

@TheRippingCorpse Why not compare Axl to Morrissey while were at it.

[HardforJesus]

@MELLSBAD Because Morrissey can sing...

[MELLSBAD]

@HardforJesus put ur hardon away. I was just joking.

[HardforJesus]

@MELLSBAD I'll put my hard-on away, and I'll "probably never see him again"...

[MELLSBAD]

@HardforJesus Ha Ha

[TheNEWBobDylan]

@TheRippingCorpse ..LOL

[MentalSentinel]

@TheRippingCorpse you've got to be trollin'. Dave Mustaine has never even been the best guitarist in his own band.

[louiscfc93]

@MentalSentinel its not like they can be compared.theyr at complete opposite ends of guitar playing

[TubeReel]

@cubanzombie Marr would mar Slash, but Slash would slash Marr

[jaggertone]

@cubanzombie that doesn't even need to be said...

[cubanzombie]

@jaggertone such an old comment, remember that.

[jaggertone]

@cubanzombie not meant as a criticism, more as a resounding "i agree with you"

[nogoodbastid]

@cubanzombie obviously you don't play guitar. this isn't even a difficult riff.

[cubanzombie]

@nogoodbastid you are in fact correct, but even if i did i would cover charted territory.

not saying anything bad about all this, but i dont care to know how it was done

i just care about how it sounds. as jangly as it is, its not my personal style to go for

even if i did play guitar. but thank you for the information.

[superaltman]

@nogoodbastid Playing a riff and writing a riff are two very different things.

[TheTenderhooligan]

@superaltman But to be fair, this is one of Marr's easiest riffs. Not saying is isn't fantastic, mind, and I would kill to be able to have written this riff :P

[UncleOswald11]

I love this song, but i wish it had the harmonica intro like in the studio version

[senob263]

oooo en madrid jejeje

[Urko2005]

Im glad i was in my 20s in 1980s, those were some magical cuture and music times.

Late 70s too rocked , but i wasnt that old :P

[nitter123]

did someone grab moz lol

[Metaphor120608]

=-D

[stormxinxheaven]

jose; Its because of the guitar amp- i've got the same one which I use gigging. Its a JC-120. The chorus sometimes makes it sound like there is a slight delay. plus he played clean mostly at this period.

[josefreak5]

I love the twangy vinyl sound of the guitar in this video. Sounds like it's coming from a cheap record player, and I LOVE it. Haha.

[rabbitisrich]

Johnny Marr !!! such inventive guitar lines - completely created his own sound - genius!!

[FFGG22E]

Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce are amazing. Everybody talks about M&M and while that's obviously true, they've never touched what the smiths did without those two with them.

[HoboTaco123]

very good i think

[joefarsenal]

and everything depends upon, how near you stand to me.

Noel Gallagher called this the most romantic song ever written.

[herself]

I agree, it is.

[lankycurlman]

i agree to be honest

[oce1989]

Not this version, Noel refers to the 7inch, this is the album version being played live :)

[joefarsenal]

true.

[lumifer]

The smiths ROCKS

[Korayerdem18]

The Cure better than the smiths. İt's true.

[smithhedgehog]

not BETTER-different

[rorogrl3]

VINTAGE CLASS AT ITS BEST!

[stefan103]

First rate live version of one of my fav Smiths songs.

[Dayvid1984]

yes we may be hidden by rags but we've something they never had! what a lyric

[wsewell12]

less is land- morrissey

[piguitit0]

gracias x la cancion...morrissey es un genio y yo me identifico tanto con esta cancion!!

[rxshea]

and if the people stare then the people stare. i really don't know and i really don't care.

[lebonpost]

thank you my gay friends for posting good things about Morrissey

[carmencorona]

The names MORRISSEY.

[PAINPAINPAIN98898]

that guy doesn't even know how to spell Morrissey hahahahh !!!!!!!!!!

[carmencorona]

I know! nice to hear from a real fan who can be bothered to spell his name right! your my kind of people have a great day!

[uncharmingman]

actually steven.

[carmencorona]

Steven Patrick actually. Oh don't take it so serious why u called uncharmingman? I take it most of us are fans or we wouldn't be on here.I reckon you must be him in disguise, we have had contact before in Feb when you kindly answered my email. Hi how u doing?

[tiomariotiomario]

I like the music more then words... and the way morrisey arouse gay audience...!

[lebonpost]

yes , he is loved by the gay community, infact many people that are posting here are the closet

[eclecticbgirl]

d00d...what about the rest of the members of the Smiths?! I mean yeah, Moz's vocals with Marr's guitaring is HEAVENLY, to say the least, but the entire band is AWE INSPIRING as well <3!

[Alwaystuned]

Marr is a GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!

[lebonpost]

its weird,, when i was in my 20s i used to love the smiths, now that i am in my 40s i don't like it that much anymore, it would be weird to drive around with my kids in the back listening to the smiths, my kids would probably aske me, what the f*ck is that? i think their sound appeals to young adults trying to find themselves, now days i like salsa, disco and 80s new wave like roxy music. morrisey why don't you write something happier for once.. like clashes "should i stay or should i go"

[googoobh]

That 's cool for you , and I would never suggest that you shouldn't like one thing , or not like another , but I still love this music [along with many other sounds] the same as I did back 30 years ago.

The themes and thoughts are still relivent , and still wonderful. I actually found that the smiths are very cross culturally excepted.

[jacksoncaines93]

Roxy Music weren't '80s new wave', they were from the early 70s you muppet.

[jamaton]

the translation on the title at the beginning of the song is wrong, una y carne means "nail and meat", should translate "mano en guante"

[zurriagazo71]

You are wrong. Es obvio que no es literalmete "uña y carne". Pero la expresión inglesa "Hand in glove" equivale a "Uña y carne" en español. "Guante en mano" no tendría sentido. Don´t be so squareheaded.

[jamaton]

squareheaded doesnt mean the same in english, you wanted "narrow minded", youve translated it literally when you had to find a similar idiom

[zurriagazo71]

You are actually right on that one. I didn't mean to offend. Thanks.

[piguitit0]

Excelente cancion desde un gran pais como lo es españa...saludos desde una de sus tierras hijas...costa rica!!!

[JohnnyTrotz]

great Quality!!!! thnx for sharing this .

[lebonpost]

too bad they did not make it big in the states, most americans do not understand the melancolic sound of the smiths or at least is not main stream.

[DJAerial]

Yeah, too bad that they played stadium venues in the US, and that Americans don't "understand" them enough to the point that Morrissey is revered as a god in LA to this day, and has to play 3-4 dates there everytime he tours because the shows sell out within minutes. Other than that, though, you're completely right.

[bobbydylanio]

To be fair their highest charting album was at 55 in the US charts and their highest charting single was in at 40 i think, so to say that most americans dont get them and that they werent mainstream is a fair comment to make, so in actual fact lebonpost is talking considerably more sense than you who was quick to rubbish everything he was saying. if the smiths were as big as they deserved to be theyd be bigger than the beatles

[DJAerial]

The Smiths were never "mainstream", nor did they ever aspire to be. Just as Moz said, "Hang the DJ". He hated the "mainstream" radio.

Anyway, Morrissey was treated like a leper by the English press for most of the 90s, and he found refuge in LA for many years, a place where he's always been loved dearly.

[bobbydylanio]

i agree

[warriorprince1010]

He went to LA because few people there knew hi, oh and the weather.

[DJAerial]

Of course, what's not to like about the sunny So. Cal weather? But you obviously don't know much about Morrissey, otherwise you would know that he played 14 L.A. dates in 2007 alone, because his shows sell out within minutes.

[katelove70]

What?

Do you know most americans? Everyone and I mean everyone I know loved them in the 80s and now...

[lebonpost]

The smiths was never a big act, they may have a small following, they were never as big a madonna, or even radiohead, they were never mainstream. of course when they come to the states they may fill a medium size theater but would never fill the rosebowl three nights in a row. if you hang out with depress kids of course you are going feel like everybody likes them. i like the smiths, but they asked themselves in a resent interview why theye never became main stream, what do you think?

[WorldOfJulee]

So what? I think it's great that they never became mainstream. Look at Madonna and The Smiths. Well, if i look at this case, I'm so glad that they never became Mainstream and keeped themself for real.

[loic1457]

pure class

[hamburg300]

Wow, Johnny Marr is so great on guitar.

I love this sound!!! Makes my day better!

[MorbidMayhem]

this is from there first album throughout the rest of there albums they progressed a lot more

your the ignorant one.

it's easy to talk shit out of your ass

if you dont like a video then dont be rude and talk shit about the band or the fans.

if you put this on a shirt

give em the royalties!

mail it at

123 fake st.

[Xofdre]

Brilliant, but what happens at about 2:31?

[Jessuss1991]

someone in the public just took the microphone cord

[kilanufc]

this is johnny marrs song,i cant believe how immence that man is

[kytuman00]

quisera saber donde puedo conseguir el video de este concierto completo no importa el costo

[mabraman]

Pídeselo a TVE. Creo que se pueden comprar productos televisivos.

[bamadawgsc]

I always loved the base line the best.

[robertodowneso]

hand in glove? is he on about a fish mitten?

[topliff12345]

fish mitten!!!!LOL!!!

[baf50361]

ab fab - the best band ever

[Telfer81]

yes we may be hidden by rags but weve somthing theyll never have... genius

[GoodItsTeaTime]

Johnny marr,your guitaring is immense!

[juli123gameking]

Don't this song makes you wanna dance? I get always up and start dancing and singing!! Gotta love the smiths ...they always be gods!

[MacsinAmsterdam]

with my feet, when I'm lying back.

Got to take it easy

[stargate669]

well I tried dancing and knocked over the goldfish bowl the cat pounced and now am off to the pet shop to find identical gold fish. Oh Why didn't I keep my hand in glove?

[dadadada1983]

but i know my luck too well...

[crispian2005]

THERE REFORMING...

[dogmatic5]

yea we know; them spanish donkeys dont feel the smiths.1985 the ritz manchester woooooooo the smiths came home;

[allsweetnessandlight]

Listening to this racket, it's pretty clear to me that the scream queen has a voice that would make deaf kids cry..........

[chente222222]

Why they translate "Hand in globe " like "uña y carne" . That´s like " nail and skin/meat"

[losinghell]

lo traducen así porque si se tradujera al español literalmente, sería "mano en guante", lo que no tendría significado ni sentido en castellano. hand in glove es una expresión que quiere decir lo mismo que uña y carne en español, que dos personas estan muy unidas

[imartinez76]

hand in glove,the sun shines out of our behinds...ha,ha,ha...classic..­how can you not love morrissey
