Marr's Fantasy Supergroup Lineup

Not sure if this was posted already, but Johnny Marr listed Stephen as the drummer of his fantasy supergroup line up. Not sure about the rest of the lineup, but at least he has the drummer spot on.

i like the name of guy garvey's supergroup. a little bit puerile and a little bit clever.

carl barat comes across as a dick.

quote :“Just because he played like a machine, but a sexy machine that didn’t want too much of the spotlight. That’s the perfect criteria for a rhythm guitarist – or for a musician full-stop.”

ding dong.

Steve is a great drummer and vastly underrated in my opinion, people might roll their eyes when someone says things like that on a neworder website but his timing and his other contributions to the songs are on a par with the best of them.

bernard ommission isnt to surprising when he didnt even add morrissey.

I was in the room with Johnny when this question was asked by NME and he had a lot to say about Steve basically being exhibit a for modern drumming technique. Was a good listen.

Would have loved to hear it.... jealous.

Steve's drumming on Lonesome Tonight was described as "Freeform drumming" by a famous drummer that I can't recall the name of once. I liked the description anyway . One of his best ( of many) drumming on that song.
