The Smiths & Morrissey thread

I think John Squire is a better guitarist than Johnny Marr.

Marr is more creative whilst Squire technically better.

 

[Mr Ed (The Stables)]

Apparently he's worked on the soundtrack for the new Jimmy Bond film and in an interview he's said he wanted to bring the electric guitar back into the soundtrack. A very talented individual.

I think John Squire is a better guitarist than Johnny Marr.

Has done 3 albums in 31 years...
Marr did his first 4 aged 20 to 24

Great bloke / muso, but questionable use of hair dye. You have to wonder about someone that age that doesn't drink, isn't fat, and has no grey hair. Dodgy as fuck.

Runs and runs lots of miles each day and eats a vegan diet.

This doesn't make it better.

If you like his songs then fair enough, he's good for you

If you want to talk about his guitar playing, he's just a twanger like Gallagher. Chords and two fret solo's aren't where guitarists are made

Bert Weedon play in a day has a lot to answer for

 

[idahoblues]

Never heard of him

He hasn’t. The Seahorses, solo material.

All about opinion mate. Marr is a fine guitarist, I just think Squire is better, more my style: )

 

[peoffrey]

Quality not quantity too. Squire is an awesome guitarist and also worked on Danger Mouse.

2 roses (yes I know garage full of flowers....) Seahorses tripe and even worse solo stuff I didn't bother including

The guy from Yes?

But you’re technically wrong. Marr was a glorified session guitarist for years. Squire is a gifted musician.

Marr is a better song writer than Squire though. He has written far more quality records.

Controversial, moi?

The Stone Roses debut album is better than anything The Smiths did. The Queen Is Dead is also one of my favourite records.

Marr is little more than a session guitarist post-The Smiths. Electronic were terrible in comparison to New Order.

The Roses debut is better than most albums, but The Smiths had far more great songs and albums compared to the Roses. Electronic had far more quality tunes in comparison yo the 2 that the Seahorses had and Marr's solo stuff is far better than the effort Squire made. Then there are all the other tunes Marr did with other people.
Squire may be able to pluck 6 strings better than Marr but there is no comparison between them when it comes to song writing. No one is screaming for a new John Squire album or a Roses one after the poor efforts they chucked out the other year. Where as Marr does pretty well on his own, there would be an audience for new Electronic stuff and a Smiths reunification would blitz the Roses one.

 

[peoffrey]

I Am The Resurrection, She Bangs The Drums, Fools Gold, This Is The One etc. These are better songs than what Johnny Marr wrote.

A reunion of The Smiths, which thankfully will never happen, wouldn't blitz The Stone Roses at all. Provide examples of what they were do to completely eclipse all those sold out shows? Morrissey has become an awful human being too.
