The Full article:
Johnny Marr (guitarist, The Smiths) : Me and Andy drove to Birmingham and Manchester, did the soundcheck, did the gig, got in the car and went home. Didn't do any socialising. I was asked by a tour manager, would I like to play at the end with The Style Council. I thought it was rude to say no, so I said, 'Yeah, sure. Fine.'
And Paul Weller just sort of stood, quite far away from me, glaring. I thought, ‘This is weird'. The show went on, and he was still making daggers at me, and I was thinking, ‘I don’t know whether this guy knows that I'm going to be going on and playing with him - I don't fancy it now'.
I thought, ‘If I'm going to go onstage on this guy's number, I better introduce myself,’ - and he was pretty snotty. That happened in Manchester.
