The accidental DJ - by Christopher Toh, TODAYonline Ex-Smiths bassist Andy Rourke gets his groove on Excerpt: - "When people interview me, they try to fish for me to say something nasty about The Smiths. But I had a good time all the time." Yes, even the Spinal Tap moments. "I remember the first time we played a gig in New York, it was New Year's Eve, and Morrissey fell off the stage. He had to be picked up, and I think he actually cried.(Laughs) His glasses were a little bit bent out of shape, but he was okay."

Andy Rourke laughs because Morrissey cried. Andy Rourke is nasty and never shows Morrissey any respect.

Andy Rourke was a radio DJ on XFM Manchester in 2006 and 2007. So why if Rourke preferred DJ'ing live did he move in 2009 to 'East Village Radio' in New York as a radio DJ? Was Manchester not good enough for Andy Rourke anymore what a fool!

Does anyone know yet if Andy Rourke is living illegally in Brooklyn and lied on his visa application?
Brooklyn is quite bohemian and cool these days. There are some really nice parts of Brooklyn. But I heard Andy Rourke was living in the ghetto. I guess Andy Rourke couldn't afford to live in Manhattan.

Mike Joyce is a top bloke! (Score:0)
Mike Joyce is aka 'Mike Gorgeous' not Mike Gross.
Mike Joyce is one of the nicest people you could hope to meet he is very friendly and intelligent. SelFull says Mike threatened to be violent I doubt it.
Mike Joyce doesn't live in New York he has stayed true to his Mancunian roots and still lives in Manchester!
Mike Joyce is a healthy vegetarian and a family man he loves his family. Mike Joyce loves animals that is why he is a vegetarian. Mike Joyce is also a great drummer and DJ.
Who's top bloke out of the other two? (Score:0)
Mike Joyce is a wonderful person! (Score:0)
Mike Joyce is a family man he has a beautiful wife and children. Mike has got cats and he loves all animals so much that is why he is vegetarian.
Mike Joyce also happens to be a great drummer and DJ.
Andy Rourke is loving his 'jet lagged' life! (Score:0)
"I'm loving my life (in New York City). I have a band called 'Jet Lag' (the trendy, young DJ/producer Ole Koretsky is also part of the band 'Jet Lag').
I have a radio show also called 'Jet Lag'.
I have collaborations with Junior Sanchez and he's got a band called 'Team Facelift' and I'm helping out; I also produced a band called 'The Bowery Riots'; and I did a remix for 'The Tokyo Police Club'. I'm pretty busy. A lot more busy than in Manchester. Which was the whole point. I don't even own a TV any more!
Andy Rourke goes on to say:
"I'll continue till they put me into the ground. I don't think you can retire from playing music. This is my love, this is my passion."
Andy Rourke comes across as selfish in interviews or rather self centred and very self absorbed. Andy Rourke tries to be nice in interviews but if you meet him in person you will find out the truth of just how rude, arrogant and nasty he can be and how uneducated he is.
But I guess it doesn't matter how many lives Andy Rourke ruins along the way so long as he is happy that is all that matters.

he is a dj/radio personality probably because music is his life more so than any of you - and so it enables him to be close to what he loves and still earn a dollar.
morrissey and johnny are happily millionaires so can choose to do exactly what they like. andy and mike probably arent in that position. which is a bit of a shame. i doubt they contributed equally - but also doubt they would have been allowed to. its ironic that the two bands from their era who are still going (REM and u2) were established with a sense of equality - everyone is credited and paid equally. do they other two in u2 contribute equally? not sure, but the sense of fairness has led to them making more money, and creating better art together than they could separately.
the sum is greater than that of the individual parts - and the smiths are exactly the same.
imagine is the smiths had been a democracy? we wouldnt have had to listen to kill uncle, malajusted and the healers (among other things).
The huge pain Andy Rourke has caused (Score:0)
We are fans of Morrissey and The Smiths on here.
It has nothing to with money. Morrissey and Johnny Marr are true artists in their own right they have not stopped working since The Smiths breakup!
Morrissey and Johnny Marr have made great contributions to music and art.
All Andy Rourke does is play Smiths tunes on his i-pod while drinking vodka and flirting with fangirls anyone could do that. That is not art and Andy Rourke is not a true artist.
Andy Rourke is a 'bad lad' yes but not an 'artist'.
Andy Rourke is a 'arsehole' yes but not an 'artist'.
