“People like Yngwie Malmsteen should be forgotten as soon as possible.” Johnny Marr on shredders, guitar heroes — and why he’s selling nearly 100 of his guitars dating back to the Smiths

Oh boy, it would be hilarious if Malmsteen actually bought one of Johnny's guitars, scalloped the fretboard, put an oversized Ferrari sticker on the headstock, and posted a 12-minute harmonic minor solo titled "FOR JOHNNY ❤️"

Johnny Marr's guitars on display at Christie's New York City

Johnny Marr is selling some of his guitars through Christies. Part of the collection is on display at Christie's New York City this week. They will also be on display at Christie's London in September before the auction.

These photos I took include (info below from Christie's website):

1982 Rickenbacker 330 synonymous with Marr and The Smiths’ early sound.

1960 Gibson ES‑355 used to write ‘Heaven Knows I’m Miserable Now’.

Roger Giffin Custom ‘Tele’ famously played on Top of the Pops in May 1984.

1971 Martin D‑28, Marr’s principal six‑string acoustic during The Smiths’ heyday.

1984 Gibson Les Paul Standard, which Marr cites as being used on more recordings than any other guitar in his collection.

Electronic should tour again

For those who don’t know Gillian and Stephen from New Order recently announced they would not be touring for the foreseeable future

I hope that instead of Bernard trying to tour as “new order” despite being the sole member he reunited with Marr for a electronic tour
