The world is a better place with Johnny Marr in it.

Johnny's 2 minute guitar solo at around 3m15secs sends shivers up my spine...
If that's not channelling something spiritual from another DIMENSION, I dont know what is...

[markself]

God gave us Johnny Marr and Beer so we would be happy.

[Annintheskybutnodiamonds]

This solo is incredibly unbelievably beautiful and touching... It makes me feel flying in the galaxy while I'm also lying on the grass underneath the sky beside a glittering lake😭 Words can't describe how much I love this.

johnny stripped the 80s off it and gave it a contemporary identity. brilliant!

Clarifications:
1. Johnny Marr wrote this song, "Getting Away with It" with Bernard Sumner when the two formed Electronic.
2. Johnny Marr was the chief songwriter of the Smiths. He wasn't Morrissey's guitarist. They're bandmates in an equal collaboration. If anything, I would say that Johnny did most of the heavy lifting as the songwriter.
3. I've seen Johnny Marr in concert, and he is a genius rock guitarist.

Beautiful version. Everything I've heard of his in recent years surpasses the originals. He's at the top of my bucket list for shows.

Wow, that drummer is simply stupendous..
A human metronome ❤

[derekbaker]

Wow!! 😎I prefer this to the original by a HUGE margin. 🖒🖒 The original is wonderful, but here, Johnny Marr's guitar tones, chord voicings, vocals, and the overall arrangement & groove are absolutely perfect!!! 👏

[Yorkshirebloke]

It's a shame Electronic didn't do more stuff, cracking band, combined some quality British talent

[garethjones]

Seven years on and I can never get bored of watching this.

[jimorpe]

[karlb]

Never get tired of this ever, it’s a top tune, proper class and timeless.

[actstu.]

That Solo is epic, The guy is a legend and one of the nicest blokes you'll ever meet.

[nicholaschavira]

Johnny is tapping into some divine power when he plays. His face says it all.

[joshkarmaleuze]

He's always supporting the song, no stupid soloing and it sounds so attractive.

[kido]

Johnny you won’t see this but this a fantastic version of this song, well done.

[NorCalProf]

Solo starting at 3:20 is my favorite Marr style. Love his extended repetition of those chord patterns. Gorgeous bell-like Fender tone. Reminds me of his part in Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others.

[mattarnold]

This is a brilliant version of a classic song

[AndrewInCanada]

Man, never heard Johnny sing before, he’s not perfect but he’s certainly capable when he needs to be, props to the guy he’s got a good voice.
