Johnny Marr On Noel Gallagher

[Muldfeld]

It's so tragic to me that Johnny Marr was so kind to a prick like Noel Gallagher, who went on to show absolutely no humility.

[nickhirst]

2:15 you could have had the decency to lend him one of your shirts as well...

[ManilaSyndicate]

Nice tale. It's good to see that Marr has a good relationship with one of his proteges.

[TheMusicIsMyReason]

And then we drank the blood of a groupie. hahah

[borgtommo]

What a great story, theres defo alot of Johnny in Noel the way he tells his stories etc. I remember hearing Noel say that he idolised Johnny Marr and wanted to be him, what songs did johnny Marr play on then?

[neilwilson557]

such a great story

[iNTERS22]

Why he left Modest Mouse? =(

[clevohardcore]

What a story. AMAZING! Fucking amazing.

[MrRamto13]

He should give it back!

[therichardchannel]

Wow imagine if that Les Paul sold... Owned by legends Pete Townshend, Johnny Marr, Noel Gallagher.

[weishbub]

"and then we drank the blood of a groupie"

[JohnKulo]

Arise king Noel!

[FutureAbe]

why is it necessary for an upcoming rockstar to own a guitar which has been the basis for the creation of Great rock songs?

[MrSamCDrums]

Anyone know what the song at the beginning is?

[RazorDucki]

@MrSamCDrums modest mouse - float on :P

[MrSamCDrums]

@RazorDucki Cheers man

[FlumpNuggett]

y'know... y'know... y'know.... y'know....

[Medalion]

It should be 2001-2002ish if he is talking about having played on an Oasis album, he meant the guitar solo for "Probably All in the Mind" for the 2002 release "Heathen Chemistry"

[bilbob1997]

I like Noel ... Liams a bit of a dick though..

[bilbob1997]

@rummynose999 I think I would too.. Once at an album signing he gave my cousin a pick. He's never played with it..

[drumjoey]

That guitar had a destiny.

[rummynose999]

if johnny marr gave me a guitar...id be like golum and the ring

[simionTheOne]

wow Noël is such a dick wtf, i bet he hasn't even thanked him or anything

what a douche..

why would someone like Johnny even give him one in the first place

[BagOfGloo]

@simionTheOne Be quiet you daft cunt. If you aren't American and using the word "douche", you are a complete fucking mong.

[simionTheOne]

@BagOfGloo pretty unrelated to the fact that he behaves like an ass all the time

[blehface3000]

@simionTheOne right, because you know exactly what happened

[conawillvlog]

@simionTheOne Shut up you fucking shitmong, Noel Gallagher is great. Hes an absolute genius and Johnny Marr is one of his biggest idols and closest mates, "I bet he hasnt even thanked him" makes it sound like it was a charity, do some research between slagging off one musician thats so close to one that you like

[MegaLochgelly]

zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[greengolfkid]

great story

[TheTeamLiam]

lucky

[SpunkyMunky97]

"And then we.drank the blood of a groupie"

Pissed myself laughing at that :L

[ellenmeilee]

Mr J Marr. I take my underpants off to you. I wash them, I put them on the radiator to dry. Laundry, what a fucking chore.

[TheMode121]

johnny is a cool dude,,, laid back,, way beyond cool.... awesome video

[intoarut]

He's very good at telling anecdotes!

[arbshredder]

A 1960 LP from Pete Townsend meets its death on someone's head. You can't make this stuff up.

[ntshgpt92]

2:36 lol

[HuysMusic]

enlightening, AND FUCKING FUNNY LOL. that little anecdote about the meeting in midnight... freakin split my sides xD

[BertilUlfsson]

does anyone here even know how much a 1960 Les Paul is worth? $150'000 or £96'000 on average and back then it wasn't that far off.

[calumstarkey]

"Taketh thy Les Paul and lay down some heavy licks..."

[mrbrockpeters]

What a kind man Johnny Marr for doing that. Sometimes all a person needs is someone to give them a break.

[ss180jay]

I'm glad I saw this clip, Mark Coyle owns that sunburst Les Paul, well he did do 5 years ago, I had the honour of playing it backstage before we supported his band :)

[crazynoobboy]

He and I had met on this grassy knoll at midnight, under a full moon, in our shades, and Id walked up onto the knoll and I passed him the Les Paul like Excalibur, And said here, Keeper of the flame. Taketh thy Les Paul and lay down some heavy licks. That the masses may fall at your feet, and you will become king Knoll. And drank the blood of a groupie.

[youebutme]

ok. it's official...this guy is the coolest breathing being on earth. no dickness here.

[tomd2103]

What is the name of the song at the start of this clip?

[annie123454]

@tomd2103 modest mouse, float on, killer tune!!

[tomd2103]

@annie123454 Thanks for that!!

[Greatest1979]

These are the stories and anecdotes you only get from real musicians, artists and bands who've paid their dues and struggled before they made it big. Not from those dreadful XFactor-clowns you read about in the Sun or those armies of other send-a-text-and-vote-big-recor­d-company plastics out there. Real Bands, Real Music, Real Classics!

[Rikk303]

The 1st frame of this vid was Hugh Laurie wasn't it? Without the beard and the limp wossername....

[shreddez]

awesome ! Johnny Marr is AWESOME!

[666ft7dude]

One of the funniest stories i've ever heard!

[markymark4565]

"Can you lend him another one?" - Priceless!

[plgplgplg]

Great stuff!

[nilsatusnisioptimum]

[BbaLkAn88]

Nice to know that the second guitar Johnny gave Noel survived through the 90's.

[ClickChase]

[captainreagar]

[harrywhoyou]

@captainreagar true!

[scowy1978]

Panic on the streets of Newcastle...

[GrassMoneyManiac]

[cpkelley]

"....and then we drank the blood of a groupie." Haha.

[zenlee1109]

how fitting that one of Pete's LPs was "killed" by smashing a fan with it.

[WonkyAsian]

Nicest guy EVER

[FreezerBurn1704]

It was 2002...he played the solo on (Probably) All In The Mind :P

[Silvergoldstarfish]

Go and get that haircut then . . . !

[Rubberbhoy]

@MikeOnBassGuitar that comment is brilliant, and Johnny Marr, never knew ye had such an influence on one of the greatest men to pen a track, Thankyou!!

[twinratter]

The Gods Must Be Crazy!

[danne9501]

[kingofkeyboards]

[product79]

damn johnny, think you could lend me one?

[rachaelwithoutthea]

'And then we drank the blood of a groupie'

[andimhisfriendjesus]

this video sums up why I hate the Gallaghers and Marr. I really hope they die painfully.

[kevfulchester]

Seems like a really nice bloke. Good guitarist too, no doubt, but I just wish I could listen to Morrissey's voice. I just can't. Great lyricist, but his voice really grates on me.

[Silvergoldstarfish]

How is it possible to he so bloody nice

And such a great guitar player

I suppose he speaks 22 languages as well ! !

[odsall]

@Silvergoldstarfish Hes a decent footie player as well. Shame hes another blue, still a top fella.

[electricrussell]

Is it me or is Johnny too nice that he didn't realize that Noel was taking advantage a bit.

[benandkasia]

In hindsight I wish he'd given him a Jazzmaster.

[lol909ism]

song at 22:00 ?

[Mineav]

@lol909ism Modest Mouse - Float On

[DctrNugget]

[miraclesMaker]

@DctrNugget haha true!

[Greendore]

I would be buzzing for the rest of my life if Johnny Marr gave me a guitar!

[oscarcanterbury]

What a great story. And what an incredible history of the guitar, The Who, The Smiths, Oasis and someone's head.

[4STONEROSES]

@oscarcanterbury lol classic mate

[aktsnake]

@thabuddy Yeah that was the one! smashing riff! thanks dude!

[rockerpunK0]

[aktsnake]

[Thebuddyguy]

[kingwhyte11]

[john197241]

[MikeOnBassGuitar]

[preecer8]

Channel Bee was so cool.

[ThreeCrowns]

Marr, you're telling me Noel couldn't get a vintage guitar after they got big? Whats his problem?

[rocktenniscat]

Only a guy with Irish blood could tell the tale so well!!!!

[hannah15joel11]

how could anyone not love Johnny,what a fucking CLASS ACT!!!

[featherston16]

Noel who?

[nickfromCO]

jesus christ they look a lot alike

[jore0806]

The shadow looks like Noel speaking.

[hautelick]

@jore0806 Fuck me! It really does!!

Great spot, my man. Incredibly similar, at times.

[JuanDeSoCal]

Holy shit.... he broke a 1960 Les Paul—probably worth over 200K US now.

[JackBandicootsBunker]

@JuanDeSoCal That might be the price for a Les Paul from 1960, but imagine the real price if that guitar was owned and used by Pete Townshend!

[beerzippy]

Thats Johnny Marr... A top Bloke, A Legend and the Best....

[dontleademsomuch]

shame he got with the cribs

[MattHXIV]

haha hes such a legend

[paulcorleykol]

"taketh thy les paul and lay down some heavy licks"...hero

[geflad]

What a geezer.

[joeklose1994]

i wonder what hes lookin at 3:50-415?

[Chunkazoota]

That guitar should be framed somewhere... good lord, it had some incredible owners!!

[towerblockrock]

@Chunkazoota yeah and then Gallagher got his hands on it.

[captainreagar]

Lovely guy. Real shame that Noel broke the first guitar, it would have had an amazing fucking history. Pete Townshend, Johnny Marr, Noel Gallagher.

[franksoul]

legend.

[tcvicesquad]

Is Johnny wearing a pair of false tits or something?

[raulgallagher1]

OH noel you're a guitar thief !!! hahahaha

[regency08]

omg...this is way Noel loves this man. wow.

[mjlew01]

Drank the Blood of a groupie. AWESOME

[davedoug]

class act legend

[CyberJuanito]

you know

[mariiwhat]

"Arise King Noel. And then we drank the blood of a groupie" <--- lmaooooo! greatest thing I have ever heard!! xD

[melomane2010]

This is such a great story. Legendary even - and a fitting end to a Townsend-owned guitar. And such generosity by Johnny.

[zimmy81]

stories like this are better than chocolate bisuits

[cristi28bcn]

what does he say from 5:04 to 5:12? Thaaanks

[Xiolablu3]

@cristi28bcn You can get a good 'swing' (hit) with this one (guitar) you can take the fucker out

[wattdabny]

@cristi28bcn he says "this one is well heavy and if you can get a good enough swing on it you'll take the fucker out". well heavy is slang for being really heavy

[BEGraduate]

Dumb question but what's the song at the beginning?

[MrHugogeerts]

@BEGraduate Modest Mouse - Float On

[Blastbarnacle]

Title of that Youtube Video of Jonny playing that Les Paul guitar:

SIMPLE MINDS & Johnny Marr - Summertime Blues Mandela 70th Wembley 1988

[terryfrancisfrench]

legend at his best!

[ahosek]

Johnny Marr seems like a really top bloke.

[mushroomscouser]

Johnny mate that '60 les paul has been sold to fucking Sheik Mansour.

[scaffairl]

That's a great story.

[dmajorsjsu]

F"n Great!! Such history behind that first les pau;!!

[ZachClooney]

Great story, well told by Marr.

[rogerthehat]

where is the guitar now

[powerlester]

@rogerthehat It was sold on Ebay recently, IIRC.

[crazynoobboy]

Drank the blood of a goupie hahahah!!!!!

[recklessroad86]

Look at Marr's face-shadow on the wall. It's Noel. Brilliant, but too much ripoff at times...

[garymaher]

Can't touch that Johnny Marr...

[oneUNITED7SS]

I want someone to make an animation of that little story happening, with the whole "Taketh thy Les Paul" thing.

[1mod4u]

If you can get a good swing with this one, next time you'll take the fucker out.

[HeavyStereoMusic]
