Johnny Marr probably didnt put any thought into it. He famously doesnt learn songs before playing them. All the stuff he's done on Noels albums were recorded blind without ever hearing the track.

The thing I take away from this is why all these guys are incredible guitarists in their own right. Yes, I'm the biggest Johnny Marr fan in the world, but they all add their own specific texture to each of these performances.

Absolutely agree!! Budokan 98 is a great show!

Gem Archer hands down. Best sound, tasteful notes with ample space to create dramatic effect. But maybe he had more time than the others to develop it. Marr and Squire were probably just cast into the spot. Then its easy to go with some penta licks, cause you know it'll work.

Squires was only legendary cos it's a Roses member playing with their proteges. His solo on this was lame in all honesty. Johnny Marr was easily the best,,, but I agree those two are on different stratosphere to the others. Manchester's 2 greatest ever Axe men. Azziz Ibrahim is class too. Deserves more dues

I play guitar myself,I also grew up in wythenshawe which is the place Johnny Marr grew up. When I used to be a taxi driver I picked up Johnny Marr twice,the second time I picked him up I forgot to take my guitar out of the car the night before and it was lying on the back seat. As Johnny got in my minibus he spotted it straight away,he asked me who the guitar belonged to. I told him it was mine,he then asked me where I'm from and I said wythenshawe,at first he didn't believe me. I started rattling off name's of road,s and he smiled, we talked for about 40 minutes like two brothers. When the journey ended I asked him would he sign my guitar which he kindly did, he's a decent guy and a phenomenal musician. Ironically when Johnny got into the minibus I was listening to a smiths playlist,on the way to pick him up I had no idea I was picking Johnny up the as the job note said pick up John at Dawson's in Manchester. In my opinion Johnny Marr is vastly underrated. But for me he's best guitarist to have ever came from Manchester.

I change my mind from day to day... but often days Marr's version is number one for me. But depends on the mood to!

Noel played the solo the best, but it's his song. Johnny Marr and John Squire are true guitar legends though (especially Marr). Noel is a songwriter who plays guitar and what he does works for his songs.Noel's solos are are extension of his songwriting.

Noel's is the most satisfying by a mile. Not sure what song Gem thought they were doing - November Rain!?

John Squire and Marr are masters compared to the other two. Gem had some great riffs with Heavy Stereo.

At the time I thought John Squire’s solo was so much better than the original but listening back now he’s just noodling away. Have to admit Noel’s solo is my favourite, fits the song better than the others.

His is the worst of them fairly easily. Great player but that wasn’t good

Marr added something cool and harmony riffs in there. Brilliant as usual.

Noel, all the way for me, as it sound more like the record to me, The other guitarists here are fantastic in there own right, but it’s just too different for me, they’re are not copycat style players and they do they’re own thing, which I totally respect.

Never heard Johnny Marr play like that incredible

All these technical guitarists are brilliant in their own way,But for me,Noel’s solo is the best,It just works perfectly,It’s a shame he doesn’t play more solos live,But I get he’s the frontman now and he has gem doing that,Honestly,I think he’s criminally underrated as a guitarist,I’ve always thought he was really good👍👍

Gem. I’ll explain. Their all good but they are all, a one time deal (excluding Gem & Noel). Noel wrote it but he’s a song writer. Gem has probably played this over and over as well as having a direct line to god (the original composer). He’ll have had constant feedback and over the years perfected it to a point to what was originally intended. It’s real and it’s raw. If it was me, I’d add something that’s missing.

Well, Noel freely admits he's never been the greatest guitar player. The greatest song writer, yes, but never the greatest guitar player. I think Noel is self-taught. So now Gem plays lead guitar for the HFB and Noel plays rhythm guitar. Johnny Marr ftw, always and forever.

Johnny Marr > John Squire > Gem Archer > Noel Gallagher

Weller still played it best!

Noel's extended version at Earl's Court is something that will never be forgotten, but Mike Moore Liam's lead guitarist is there with the best,

Jonny Marr wins in my view. He owned it.

Noel’s is comfortably the best……and I wasn’t expecting to say that!

There's a clear winner here and it's Noel. Best timing. Best feel. He's in the pocket......end of

johnny marr. absolutely

Noel for me. Probably because he knows it so well. Then Johnny Marr. Technically obviously Johnny Marr & Squire are on another level But what fits fits & Noel knocked it out the park.

Noel and his digital delay3 are unbeaten

Marr's solo is superb.

Paul Weller's original solo adapted by Noel live circa 1998 will always be best, but every time I listen to this it's Gem's passionate, soulful, and dreamy solo that stands out more. Simple, low key, and better than Squire and Marr

John Squire shreds man can't top it....the other legends they just add more feel to it. Talking about technique Squire wins but talking about feeling etc Marr is the man

My top 3 IMO The sound Noel gets out of the guitar just hits the spot for the track, perfect sound and feel. Followed closely by Marr. Different dynamic with NGHFB so feels unfair to judge in the same light, Gems unreal though still.

Not a Smiths fan but Marr wins easy out of that compilation... Guess I may be slightly bias given I was like 3 from the front row at that gig 😛

Is there even any discussion? The only complete idea is present with Noel’s solo. Everything else is just ideas. Some of them are nice, some aren’t. P.S.: when I was 15 I’d go with someone more technical, but nowadays it’s all about melody and the way it makes you feel.
