Johnny Marr with the GS1 Doolittle Strap

Manchester United.

 

One word to describe Marr? Legend. Johnny embodies everything that is good about music in the last 3 decades. His mastery at the instrument made him an Indie icon with The Smiths. His work didn't stop there after work with The The, The Pretenders, and Electronic.

 

The 80's seemed like the perfect decade for the shimmery jangle ridden riffs of Marr. That is until his emergence with Modest Mouse. Many thought this was a perfect addition to an already established musical machine. Marr moved on to The Cribs, lending a more raw sound tonally approached. We met up with Johnny during his tour through San Francisco with The Cribs. We're still giggling a bit, we just met Johnny Marr.
