Oh dear, now heard the intro.
Thousands of people there, god knows how many more listening online and he f***s up the intro. Jesus Christ man.

I think the silly twat Vegan said Johnny would be playing some tiny stage, when Glastonbury was announced - how wrong the useless troll was.
Morrissey was as proud as punch for sure about that Killers, Johnny rendition of TCM. I'm sure he loved it and was blown away. Wormhole to 1984. I was hypnotised by the fit of that fellows trousers. Not in a good way.
Johnny won't do Smiths shows or any new recordings, projects with a new singer. I believe he really does respect Morrissey's contribution and won't go there. There won't be a Smiths tour with Flowers. Ha Ha. Get it?It is hard to guess what Morrissey is thinking right now.
For me, it is double-edged. I agree with most here that it was a great rendition, always good to hear Johnny play the guitar riff as it has to be. And the public reactions show that the music of the Smiths will always live on in the hearts of so many people. Good for Johnny, good for Morrissey.
But perhaps for the first time, it also feels like Johnny can perform the Smiths back catalogue with another singer, as long as he pucks a decent one, and that the (British) public may not miss Morrissey at this point. That's a sad feeling, perhaps I am being too dramatic now.
I do wish he could write with dear Andy again but he won't replace Mozz for any Smiths project. I'm sure.It is hard to guess what Morrissey is thinking right now.

Where does he f*** up the intro?
It's right at the very start. First 2 strikes are ok, so are the next 2 but then he fluffs the 2 after that.
Can't you hear it?
I think part of the problem is The Killers got the wrong guitarist on stage. They had Johnny f***en Marr up there instead of Johnny Marr
On a side note Brandon looked incredible. Quiff riding hide and with enough foppish fey energy to make it almost seem like a young Morrissey reincarnated. You could tell he'd been playing that moment in his head, all the way back to his teenage box bedroom rebel days growing up in Vegas. It must be epic to have such a bucket-list moment like that come true in your life.

Mind you, Marr was always fashion conscious and he worked in a clothes shop before the Smiths. He doesn't look right to me these days. He's a man of extremes. Hell run 10 miles just for the hell of it. He'll work out, but muscles look wrong on him, he's too petite to carry it off. He should have let himself age gracefully.
Johnny Marr looks amazing!
