Just wish he wasn't such an ass off stage. Great show and I've been a fan since the Smiths. I would like to leave it at that.I saw Morrissey years ago at the Hollywood Bowl. That slide guitar hook puts more goose-pimples on my body than any sex I've ever had. Honestly, I really don't care to know what is behind the magic of that masterpiece.

Neither sounds side-chained from a perfect drum machine nor from an LFO. If you listen carefully to the recording there is a human-like feel to the rhythm guitar that drifts subtly and kinda grooves in a way. If his hired gun guitarist can recreate live everything Marr did in the studio in the mid-'80s, then it couldn't have been t h a t difficult or complex. He performed "How Soon Is Now?" and by god if it didn't sound close to exactly like the classic recording. He was a lot better than he was 20 years prior. I saw Morrissey live at the Orpheum in Boston, USA (2007?) and he was nothing short of breathtaking. Morrissey had a grandeur like no other, without seemingly doing anything, just being present and doing his thing. This performance isn't that impressive either. No disrespect to Johnny Marr but he is no Morrissey and looks kind of silly at his attempt to sing like him. given the heavy use of eventide, i'm inclined to think that there was more going on than parlor tricks with fender twins. I say this entirely in jest as I wasn't there, but the simple truth is even the man himself is unable to replicate the recipe described above in live settings (understandably so), and yet mr Wicker below nails it with side-chain. this old yarn is getting tiresome and it's time it's buried at sea. also, the smiths had an ethos that eschewed studio trickery so the truth would be contrary to that image, but the dude was a wiz in the studio. besides, in 1988, if he'd explained it any other way, no one in Guitar Magazines would know what the hell side chain means. 0 youtube videos replicate that fender twin nonsense (even Marr's own cover sounds off and unlike the recording). Multiple youtube videos confirm this by perfect replication. This is side-chained compression synced to the hi-hat track of a drum machine (or the drum stems themselves). It's a lie propagated by Mr Marr himself. Reading this, I was simply blown away.Īpologies if this is old news to some of you.Īpologies if this is old news to some of you. It's doubled several times." - Johnny MarrImo this is a truly WICKED way to suss a synth like sound and behavior from guitar work.

For the line in harmonics, I retuned the guitar so that I could play it all at the 12th fret with natural harmonics. There was a different harmonization for each pass. I wish I could remember exactly how we did the slide part – not writing it down is one of the banes of my life! We did it in three passes through a harmonizer, set to some weird interval, like a sixth. We had to keep all the amps vibrating in time to the track and each other, so we had to keep stopping and starting the track, recording it in 10-second bursts. Then we played the track back through four old Twins, one on each side. I put down the rhythm track on an Epiphone Casino through a Fender Twin Reverb without vibrato. "The vibrato sound is ****ing incredible, and it took a long time. It all at once sounds like a synth and a guitar. That oscillating riff heard on first listen which cuts through the entire song….was never done before and frankly how it done has been a huge mystery for most people. I loved this song the first time I heard it and have loved it every since. The Smith's How Soon Is Now - Finally know how he did it
