It's not the first time Andy's played with Los Esmiths. Here he is playing Barbarism Begins At Home in 2008.

God, there are some fecken idiots on this site....Morrissey became FAMOUS with The Smiths! He would never have got as famous without Johnny's lead guitar and Andy's bass because they wrote the Smiths music. Morrissey only wrote the lyrics and they are amazing, but he didn't write any music in The Smiths.
There's nothing wrong with Johnny Marr because he and Morrissey are friends and also Morrissey hasn't said anything bad about Andy Rourke as far as I've seen or heard. Whoever says that Morrissey was the only "good member" in The Smiths has a problem and needs to get it checked out! If you listen to The Smiths there's far more to the music than to most of Morrissey's solo's stuff, obviously because NOBODY can beat Johnny Marr's guitar lead guitar parts (and he was voted top 10 guitarest in the world for gods sake) and Andy's bass lines !

By the way, just what songs has Marr done in his solo life that are up there with The Smiths songs or Morrissey's best solo songs for that matter?
None I say.
Apart from a couple of half descant The The songs there is nothing Marr has done of any interest at all.
I liked we share the same skies. Or am I not allowed to admit this?
I added a bit more since that quote.
I pressed the submit button by mistake
Hahaha!

"They" Rarely wrote the music it was mostly Marr.
Morrissey didn't just do the words and sing, he came up with "emotion ideas"- ie make it like this, add that.
Oh and lets not forget, Morrissey also, created "The Smiths World", the mindscape, the cover art, he carried out the PR- with some of the better interviews ever given, to the music press at least.
He really did throw himself into his art, in a way very few people do.
To make out he just walked into the studio with a notepad, sang and that it is, is a rather limited view on things

Is there a reason that you don't like the members? Did you read an interview that made you not like any of the three? Do you not like the way they look?
How can you like someones music and not like them? Please tell specifically and individually, what you don't like about Johnny, Mike or Andy?
