Johnny Marr pays tribute to Bill
So Bill (in good company) may not have made it on to Rolling Stone magazines 250 all-time greatest guitarists, but when Johnny Marr recalls the pre-punk guitarists that he most admired, Bill's is the first name mentioned. Always loved Johnny's playing style and all round 'good bloke' persona, and it's really nice to hear him compliment Bill (as I know he has done before): https://youtu.be/NjY2O92ByNw?si=mxMscJGueeWEzes2&t=920

I agree...I think I may have slighted him for his vocals before. but I much prefer his singing over Morrisey's. Morrisey was good in the 80's, but Johnny's vocals brings the Smith's songs up to date IMHO. Glad and not surprized he likes Bill's playing. #1 on my list with Hendrix and Marr close behind.
