Marr loves his Crib-mates

Johnny Marr says he has nothing to teach his Cribs bandmates, and that the age gap is not an issue because they come from the same part of the world.

Johnny Marr has been saying some very complimentary things about his current bandmates. As you all surely know, the former Smiths man and one time Modest Mouse member is now an official member of The Cribs.

Despite having almost two decades on his new bandmates, Marr says: "There's nothing I could teach them. They're not kids. That's good for me, because I couldn't be in a band where there was a big gulf in experience. It wouldn't be good for anyone. It wouldn't be appropriate. I think people expect there to be cultural differences when there aren't any".

On the age difference, Marr said there are no problems because "we're from the same part of the world". So that's all lovely.
