Radio X: Watch the legendary guitarist tell Radio X how he got the unique sound on the 1984 Smiths classic.
Morrissey has a bad night out on the epic Smiths song How Soon Is Now?, which saw Johnny Marr’s guitar skills take centre stage. Since its inital release as the B-side of William It Was Really Nothing on 20 August 1984, the song has become a rallying cry for the lonely and awkward, its depiction of a social misfit at odds with the trendies and cool kids becoming an iconic moment in its own right..............Marr continues: “It’s really so dumb. I used to wait for it on the radio, I was obsessed with it. I was kind of like, that’s what a guitar should do. As I got older I realised it came from this guy called Bo Diddley, who basically invented his own beat." --10.31.22
