JOHNNY MARR
“How Soon Is Now”
The Smiths—Meat Is Murder
It’s hard to decide which guitar tone in this 1984 Smiths song is the coolest. You could make a case for the recurring moaning slide part, or the freaky whammified fills. But neither of those tones can hang with an intro that features a meaty, throbbing tremolo that pulses in time with the music—despite the fact that it’s backwards. Marr flipped the tape reels and played the part in reverse, so that on playback the listener is treated to one of the most amazingly hypnotic guitar sounds ever.
