MOJO (Apr. 2011) - "The Queen Is Dead" 25th anniversary issue

MOJO - April 2011 cover

IN THIS ISSUE

...THE SMITHS: Recorded 25 years ago, The Queen Is Dead is Morrissey and Marr’s masterpiece, its power and arrogance forged on the road in 1985. Martin Aston tells the story of a legendary tour, Jon Savage salutes a band in its prime and a cast of stars praise the album, track by track.

Nope....Rourke and Joyce were just as important.
The Smiths image and music was complete with the Bassist and Drummer.
Another drummer recreating Joyce's Reel Around The Fountain drum beat? Another Bassist recreating Barbarism Begins At Home? ....no thanks

U been enjoying rourke n joyces musical contribution since the smiths split? Without rourke n Joyce moz n Marr are still genius. Without moz n Marr rourke n Joyce are?

unemployed.
It was pretty clear then, and almost goes without saying now, that rourke and joyce were just along for the ride and clueless as to the whole concept and purpose of the band. they played their part, a pretty competent rhythm section.
