[myNTlife]

[cherrylipgloss1979]

Saw Morrissey in Albuquerque. That's really hard to spell.

[BizambitD]

@cherrylipgloss1979 Are you referring to the 97 show? It snowed. I think the highlight was Roy's keen.

[itskyb]

Hoping to see his concert in Santa Fe next month...

[SuperKojim]

[grlluvsmoz]

Thank you moz ....the first time i heard this song in the early Smiths years it changed my life...finally a voice for the animals...what powerful, moving lyrics...chills me to my veggie core.....luv u moz

[XxxAly95318xxX]

Ok I loooooooooooooooooove the guitar on this all the way trhu. BUT I sincerely do not like his voice its like its not meant for this genre.... sorry for all the fans

[m0zc0re]

@XxxAly95318xxX What "genre" would that be, friend?

[Mozzer232]

@XxxAly95318xxX What genre is that? I don't like calling people stupid. But that was seriously, one of the dumbest comments in the history of YouTube. Congrats...

[marcol68]

@XxxAly95318xxX Sorry for you maybe but personally I don't give a fuck!

[benisdown]

[theta9999999theta]

"you don't care if it's late. you don't care if you're lost."

[jennifercastillo66]

i've seen MOZ perform ths live a few times now. definitley in my top 5 MOZ songs! Morbid and beautiful at the same time. #MOZLUV

[Takac1979]

God.

[oldskoolheretic]

I love the timing of 'mouth' in the first verse, and the way he says it. Shit's addictive.

[sheywey]

Me too> mmyyppaarrttyy

[mmyyppaarrttyy]

I pity anyone who hasen't discovered morrissey's music.

[zgmfx42sdesutini]

What makes the original song so compelling is the incredible mix of foreboding coldness and genuine, warm longing. This duality is lost in the two famous covers; The AFI version discards all the darkness and sounds like a song of sincere, romantic wistfulness, while the MCR version swings to the opposite extreme, dropping all romantic notions to become a truly maniacal expression of pure, violent desire. Basically what I'm trying to say is, I like all three. (prepares to get thumbs down)

[TheSceneKidz90]

i think mcr version does nt sound that great cuz they're still new when they did that song. xP

[SouthpawNT]

03:06.... Alain Whyte=LEGEND

[ExposingTheGOP]

There is no version but the Moz's version. All else is "per se" garbage. Period.

[squire13th]

totally agreed !

[radiorox0112]

Morrissey's version is the best but AFI's pretty good too! MCR *puke*

[StevoDG]

I love AFI's version, but I doubt that anyone could outdo this as regards a live performance of the song goes. Excellent!!

[DreamOfWaking21]

AFI's version is AMAZING! But have u heard MCR version. They Slaughtered this song. I love them but they did awful at it

[StevoDG]

I tried to listen to MCR's version.. couldn't listen to the whole thing though, it was awful. Thankfully, we still have two awesome versions to listen to.

[justme0910]

Agreed!

[bobjoshilly]

AFI sucks nads, yeah author delete comments about afi fans it makes me feel all crappy

[ejvaldes]

HAUNTING!

[mozbabe]

i love this song sfm!!!!!!!!!

[NightmareGanon]

I may have discovered this song (and Morrissey and The Smiths) thanks to AFI's cover, but the original is clearly the best. Although AFI at least didn't butcher it like MCR did.

[inyofacepriklips]

Good times for morrissey

alan and boz were also at their peak musically.

[flashhbutekin]

what a song! what a singing! what a band! what a crowd! Stunning. I'd love to be there..

[pupa2120]

well said :)

[charterbrown]

best song ever!

[TranceKontrol]

Man, I haven't heard this song for a long time and it brought back so many memories of college fr me! For some reason it brings tears to my eyes.

[agudakos]

VERY NICE! thank you for this upload

MORRISSEY COME TO GREECE!

[hi0u50fd]

best version of this song out there. this is a new discovery for me. what a beautiful song

[maggiescanyon]

Im glad I dont have to watch barney

[causalityofbeing]

Morrissey is fantastic. I have always enjoyed him. But check out his band. These guys are versatile and just plain awesome.

Great band. Morrissey was blessed twice because The Smiths were great as well.

[Rundra]

I really like this song but I cant help but think that when he says "I love you" it sounds like barney the dinosaur O_O.. haunting

[rejectedreject]

He is so expressive... He is singing with all his heart...

[maggiescanyon]

Morrissey fuckin rules the universe...fuck everyone else

[MrNewman24]

@maggiescanyon Yes Yes He does..... OMFG...!

[ajkpingu]

Thanks for sharing, its great quality, Morrissey i love you forever.

[LarBennon]

I've seen some people try - and fail miserably. Namely My Chemical Romance and AFI. The My Chemical Romance one is particularly bad.

[LeATHERMOUTHfanclub]

well that one was poor quality cause it was live and even though this is live its still donw preofessionally where as MCRs version was just recorded by a fan

[LarBennon]

To be honest, i thought the recording quality of MCR's version was fine, I just didn't care for their version of the song itself.

[LarBennon]

What a song. What an artist.

Haven't heard a half decent cover of this song.

[divinedgar]

colin meloy does a stripped down, moody version. just guitar and voice.

it's not bad.

[TheBoss2332]

I agree

[Direlewagen]

Отличная песня!

[scottg4520]

l like Morrissey and everything but....is that a picture of his head in the background?

[DSOTM73]

It's the cover art from World of Morrissey.

Not sure if it's actually him though. Probably isn't.

[LarBennon]

It's not him, no.

[lemonkebab]

jack the ripper is the best moz song of them all.

[RedRoseOnCoffinDoor]

Morrissey is legendary singer, and MCR is still new and they try to bild some reputation.There are lots of covers, but it dosen't mean that band who covered them suck becouse they "dare" to cover some famous song. Their version could be stupid but it doesn't mean that they don't have other great songs. Don't fight about music, there are lots of different tastes, if you don't like it, you don't have to listen it. Sry for my bad English. :)

[vengeancebaby6901]

get 1 fact right just because mcr is "younger " than morrissey it doesnt mean they're new dur dur dur

[mickeyb1000]

When I hear people criticize Morrissey I don't get suicidal, I get homicidal. They should be extradited to Manchester and hung drawn and quartered.

[jcooke222]

To start MCR and AFI are bullshit bands, who try claim credit by doing shit Morrissey covers. Americans stick to your Nirvana and that bullshit. English music is just the best.

[ariannahiggins]

actually I agree that english music kicks american music's butt (except for the NY bands like YYYs and interpol). I liked Nirvana and still do also, but MCR and AFi suck.

[1Muzition1]

What you meant to say is Mcr sucks. You couldnt possibly be referring to AFI in a negative way, that would be totally inaccurate.

[ariannahiggins]

huh? well i was under the impression AFI was the same as MCR- commercially manufactured for dumb one-note emo kids- but I only heard one song by them aso maybe I shouldn't be talking.

[1Muzition1]

AFI built their own base, they started in 1992, ironically around the time this song was released if im correct, Beethoven was deaf maybe? Yeah, its not their fault MCR has made a career of jacking them just as much as Moz. Do some research, you will find out how painfully wrong that association is(you probably wont). One thing i will agree with you on is that Moz is one in a million and not everybody can be as great as him.

[ariannahiggins]

"AFI is an American band from Ukiah, California, formed in 1991. They have consisted of the same lineup since 1998, lead vocalist Davey Havok, drummer and backup vocalist Adam Carson, with bassist Hunter Burgan and guitarist Jade Puget, who both play keyboard and contribute backup vocals.

AFI has released seven studio albums over 18 years as a band, the first being Answer That and Stay Fashionable in 1995. "

[ariannahiggins]

The band then went on to release Very Proud of Ya the next year, followed up by a third in three years, Shut Your Mouth and Open Your Eyes. Over the years, AFI has changed its style from the earlier days of hardcore punk, to the horror punk of 1999's Black Sails in the Sunset and 2000's The Art of Drowning. It wasn't until this, the band's fifth album, that the band first featured on the charts, as The Art of Drowning peaked at #172 on the Billboard 200."

source:wikipedia (hahahaha)

[1Muzition1]

you got me

[NightmareGanon]

Sure you shouldn't be talking. Decemberunderground was pretty bad as an AFI album, but back in the day they were a great punk band. Give a try to Sing The Sorrow (for more alternative stuff) or The Art of Drowning (for some punk greatness).

[vengeancebaby6901]

ok then douch bag fyi we have some legendary bands what do u have burning churches worshiping the devil bringing gothic kids into america who like to destroy all te fun by death and destruction i know destruction is cool but but still u dont have to talk shit about other bands just because u think ur so cool doing it and that you'll destroy the reputation of great bands 

and by the way go suck a big fat dildo

[jcooke222]

You know American music is shit, which is why you rape the beatles so much. One day you will learn. (=

[NightmareGanon]

Yeah, doing a Morrisey cover asa B-side means that AFI are totally trying to steal Morrisey's credit.

Nevermind their 18 years of career, 7 studio albums (the first 6 being great), and countless EPs. Seriously, other than seeing a couple of vids by them in MTV have you ever tried to listen to them?

[bananafix]

awesome

[optimusripe]

wow your one hell of a looser music doesnt have to be technical and fast paist and with people that lack vocal talent to be good

[Aurel0500]

i think it's terrible that a band like my chemical romance dares to make a cover of one of his songs. if i was him i'd try to pass a law against it!

haha anyway

[ravenxclaw]

a band, AFI made a cover of this song. does AFI, a punk-alternative band, make this song sound that bad? :p

[BlackEden66]

Wow. You suck.

[SpielDoggy]

this is da shit for the right tune of music, love this song!

[ljuslyktan]

I think this is much better than MCR's version and AFI's verision too

[CaustiKJesuS]

Oh no question, this is the best version.

[ravenxclaw]

AFI's version isn't bad.

[BlackEden66]

the mcr one sucks, but the afi one is the best

[gnarpuppies]

no, the morrissey one is the best

[optimusripe]

afi are tools mcr does a good one but afi are a bunch of pussys

[BlackEden66]

The mcr cover is so sloppy and awfully played, afi may not be the coolest band on earth, but there cover is waaay better than mcr's.

[optimusripe]

are you trying to say morrissey re-made this song?,he wrote it

[NightmareGanon]

Dude, I'm an AFI fan and even I find this comment idiotic.

[Zizourian]

Well written, well performed evil little song! I love it!

[MCRmorot]

i love MCR:s version of the song but i also love Morrisseys original. the original is always the best. love MCR and Morrissey <33333

[Syvule]

i like MCR and i though their cover was terrible. I like afi's version of this song, but Morrissey's is the best by far.

[CaustiKJesuS]

AFI's version was surprisingly good.

[Morrizzex]

I want this on fucking DVD,blue ray.!!! I want it now!!!

My VHs is worn out!!!(the tape)

[IchbinSchalker]

Yeah!!!!!!! You are completely right. It's shame that we still haven't this show available in DVD or Blue Ray. I think it has been about 10 or 12 years since this VHS tape has been released and nothing yet. My VHS player isn't working anymore so the only way to watch this show again is watching the pieces here on Youtube. Does anyone know why no any record company still hasn't released this show in any digital media?? Is it due to some kind of contract or something like that?

[Genkaiman]

This song really grows on you.

[Reznor616]

MCR's brutal murder of this song would make even Jack the Ripper himself recoil in horror.

[MozzerChick1988]

that we have now is produced by a bunch

of FOOLS!!! And that includes MCR, The killers and all the others that have tried but

never suceeded in anything but crap! Morrissey IS THE BEST AND ONLY ONE!!!!!!!!

[DerPoltergeist13]

that is because morrissey is the chosen one.

there can only be ONE chosen one!

[MozzerChick1988]

The music and his voice together in this song are so awesome. No one can compare to him or even match up to him. All the others that are a bunch of UNTALENTED so called "artists" take the ideas from the original True artists and copy them and ruin the whole thing. Like Morrissey says in his song Sing Your Life " any FOOL can think of words that rhyme." and most of the "music"

[mirilovelesschan]

morrissey sexy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MasterBlade4]

I like MCR and AFI's cover... but I think that the original always deserves all the credit.

[sedman420]

AFI does it better

[FrankieTattak]

yea AFI's is a lot less boring. i can stay awake listening to it

[LOveTwiNz]

Of course this version is better than the covers it's the original!

[profitprophet368]

sick!

great song

[paminastroke]

Best song ever!!!!!!!!!!

[pact0fdeath]

I don't mean any offence to morrissey but mcr is better

It depends on your taste of music, MCR really changes the song

[starcure]

one of my favs if not my fav of morrissey

[kgis17]

i have this version in my ipod

:D

my MORRISSEY!

:D

i love him oh so much. i am looking at him right now in my wall

my number one addiction!

FOREVER!

♥

[xmcrxxrockxx]

this is really good! i luv MCRs cover (they r my fav Band) but this is better

[pact0fdeath]

MCR BETTER!!

[xmcrxxrockxx]

they r better in general but i like this better thn there cover! mcr mean a lot 2 me!

[crashingbores]

MCR can't even touch Morrissey. They wish they could, but they can't. Let's face it, The Smiths (aka Morrissey) created this sound; the sound that MCR, The Killers etc..are trying to copy. At least most bands give Morrissey the credit...

[kmcrl]

im sorry did you just classify MCR and the killers in the same genre? you sir. fail.

[crashingbores]

Not sure what you're talking about...And I'm a girl, sir.

[kmcrl]

the killers are new wave.

mcr is obviously not.

new wave sucks

mcr does not.

[crashingbores]

Wow, sounds like you have some strong opinions. What are you doing commenting on Morrissey's video...do you even like him?

[kmcrl]

love morrissey!!!! since listening to this song ive gotten totally into him

[crashingbores]

Well, you should check out The Smiths as well, if you haven't already. That was his band from years ago and they are equally as amazing.

[fightoffyourdemons77]

yes and he was there lead singer lol

[kmcrl]

its funny, i was watching the life on the murder scene video diary for what must be the millionth time and i noticed that all of them mentioned morrissey, the smiths, the misfits among many others as their influences

its quite interesting to find out bands influences and how diverse they can be. case in point screamo band escape the fate was formed due to a joint love of motley crue of all bands.

[123456jazzy]

i agreee

[frankie805]

fuck mcr and fuck afi!!!

[bandicsek]

one of the greatest song of him...

[bup9teh9great]

How can you even compare Moz to AFI or MCR? Moz has been around for almost 30 years. He attracted many people, many generations and people still love him and his songs after all those years. Moz/Johnny Marr are true legends, just like McCartney/Lennon, they made timeless masterpieces.

[Brettmorrisseysuede]

what dick head is on ere sayin my chemical romances version is better are they deaf?

[laybackinthapark]

No they just have bad taste in music.

[tallpaddy]

Vauxhall and I is Mozzer's greatest moment...

[HeirApparent01]

For Anja

Guido

[allxtimexlowxhoe]

i liked MCR's cover of it.. but i agree, the original is always the best, ya konw?

[marcol68]

This song is just the proof of Morrissey's greatness.

[shaggy39uk]

Who the hell is afi?....and mozza ohhhh u look so tired....but we been together 25 years...and i will love u for another 25 years

[jhaywood68]

He's almost 50. He's allowed to get tired.

[totalimmortal2323]

afi rocked this song far better

[PhirotFILTH]

afi is one of my favorite bands but i think Morrissey did far more a great job because of course he's the genius who wrote this beautiful and unique song.Morrissey forever!!!and the mcr cover of jack the ripper is >> nvm no comment on that lolz

Morrissey Rocks Forever!!!!nothing beats the original!

[perry475]

dude mcrs cover is way better then this (in my opinion)

[PhirotFILTH]

no way man

[perry475]

i guess everyone has their own opinion ^_^ ...but this version is still excellent

[kingq101]

mcr's version of this song made me hate the song....

[po3a8]

The only good cover I had ever heard of this song is by AFI. The MCR version sounds like total shit.

[BlackEden66]

indeed :)
