Any Smiths fans in here?

I just stumbled onto this cover of back on the chain gang. Chrissie’s voice still gives me a semi when I hear this song, so I’m pretty choosy about it, but this is just great, IMHO. Just needs Johnny Marr playing next to him. (Bonus trivia—Marr actually played for the Pretenders in the late 80’s)

That was in the early 80's

she was the 1st vegetarian I'd ever met. Other than harassing us over our meat consumption (my roommate was an animal science major so we had a LOT of cheap meat to eat) she and her roommate were probably our most fun neighbors out there.

Thanks for sharing. Here’s some Marr without Morrissey for you:

And how he wrote it (this is gold):

gracias...never saw that second interview. You sent me down

the rathole.

I always head that Marr could never exactly repeat the sound from the album, but never could remember exactly why, so I found this: https://www.westword.com/music/johnny-marr-on-how-he-created-the-sound-for-how-soon-is-now-without-effects-pedals-5704969


That rippling effect, layered effect and maybe tremolo effect you had on "How Soon Is Now" -- did you do that with multiple amps when you recorded it?

Yeah. The tremolo sound from the intro? That was four Fender Twin Reverbs. Myself controlling the speed of two of them and the producer controlling the speed of the other two. So two amps were recorded on one side of the stereo and the other two on the other side. I recorded the part on the tape without the tremolo, and then I sent the part from tape out to four amps, and he controlled two, and I controlled the other two.

And it took a long time because inevitably the tremolo would go out of time with the track because the tremolo doesn't stay in regular clock time. Also we would go out with each other's amps, so we had to keep looking up at each other after every fifteen second bursts and kind of fess up, "Oh yeah, mine kind of went out of time." It took long time, but I'm glad we did it that way because if we had cut and pasted two seconds of audio, it wouldn't have had the same dynamic quality throughout the six minutes of the song, or however long it is.


Then later in that article he mentioned that Ron Wood played it well......wait, Ron Wood? So I found this....
