Johnny Marr has said he has not got the time to feud with his former Smiths band mate Morrissey.
Marr, who now plays guitar in The Cribs, also ruled out a reunion of his former band in the immediate future.
“I like The Smiths songs, but I like playing with two guitars and writing new songs,” he told the Norwich Evening News.
“Unfortunately a reunion would go against both those things.”
When asked about his relationship with Morrissey, Marr replied: “It's not necessarily the case that we're not talking. We have email.
“We worked on that 'Sound of the Smiths' [compilation] together. That came out about a year ago.
He added: “Who's got time for a feud? Right now I have got screwdrivers inside guitars, my car broke down yesterday… I've got no time for a feud.”
The Smiths, whose original line up also included Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce, split in 1987.
Each member has always maintained that the chances of a reunion were unlikely.
