[somehopes26]

@the pirate82 i gotchucked out the forresters cos i wasnt drinking but my pal was and there was only 6 people in. Unbelievable.

[blackmasonIi]

click on 2:34 and repeat. "couldn't be more starried eyed about the band and their frontman-"

the face of the fall coming at ya. love it. love it to the floor.

[KARMABRIGADE]

haha he still has the tag on his collar, legend.

[andrewburton12345678]

Did anyone else not understand a word MES said?

[hydemd]

Love the bits where ppl are talking arty farty and they cut to MES snorting and guffawing!

'eh?! what the fuck are you talking about cock? have another crisp butty'

[invitriol123]

WTF is he sayin there

?!?!?!?!?

[PrimeM92]

He didn't pull that weird face in this interview. The one where he opens his mouth wide and sticks his tongue up to his teeth. Shame really. I find that funny. lol

[nath909]

mes would have a band of chimpanzees making shit hot tunes.

[TheRooneyTune]

is leaving the little plastic tag on items of clothing a new anti fad Mark is trying to make popular 2:28

[Rankmoistmeat]

his goofy smile at 0:02 is hilarious!

[teamcrumb]

get some fucking teeth

[hufclufc]

1.47-1.49 LFMAO. Also,from his interview the day Peely died, this bloke has got SFTS ( stupid face tourretes syndrome)

[coptersoisoi]

it's like he never aged then around 2k05 he aged 20 years

[IzzyIsou]

That well-groomed assclown with his hipster nerd glasses reading about drugs. Give me a break. Thank God for people like Mark E. Smith.

[StanPomeray]

I still find it amazing that a band I was into when I was 14 are still going now, when I'm 46! The Fall, probably the most genuinely creative and ignored band in Britain. But quite literally superb. There is nothing more to say.

[MrPabz9]

Typical say a lot know nowt toss pot that's interviewing Mark. I'm mean what a fuckin Ball Bag

[Lieu3C4]

Since when does MESmith wear black leather jackets and crisp white shirts? Did he get a part time job at Crisco's or summit?

[cackermuffin]

"wheels zoom up your back.......?!!?" HILARIOUS! and remember kids, this is mark e sober!!! genius.

[tubeofyoulol]

@cackermuffin mark e is never sober!

[biys1983]

I like a lot of the bands from manchester. I keep asking people from the UK.. "Were you into the Madchester scene" and younger people shrug and have no idea. Now 5-10 years later the 80s MadChester Scene is "hip".. The next generation of rockers stylist in the states (Like San Francisco and Seattle) all standing around in their clean "Shack" style leather coats and their well trimmed beards talking about The Fall or Chameleons UK. It's not a fad damn it. It's about the Music you retro cunts

[DamoSuzuki100]

@biys1983

"I like a lot of the bands from manchester. "

Idiot groups with no shape or form/out of their heads on a quid of blow/their shapeless kecks flapping up a storm/look what they are, a pack of worms.

[Tombsquad]

Cocaine and its users are anti-Fall

[RedBryn]

@Tombsquad I know what you mean. Sulphate band, if ever there was one. So are Motorhead.

[binstig]

play 1:47 over and over

[punkfootofnose]

I like

[sonor23]

Personally speaking , I don't know what the hell John Peel or anyone else ever saw in The Fall or Mark E Smith .

[ThePirate1952]

mark e usewd to drink in the wilton and the foresters in prestwich he was an arsehole then and still is

[seoulstar]

Genius. Looks like he smells of stale piss and fags and wears his clothes for days at a time but oozes sinister charisma. His wife is one of the most gorgeous women on earth. Fact.

[JUPITERSCOCK69]

@seoulstar -- "His wife is one of the most gorgeous women on earth. Fact." What the fuck are you dribbling on about you cretinous loser? Compared to whatever third rate indie fanny you get up north she probably is, but she's no fucking Cindy Crawford.

[seoulstar]

@JUPITERSCOCK69

Dear Arsehole, I was expressing an opinion. I do not like Cindy Crawford. I do not live 'up north'.Check my username - this might give you some clue as to where I live. You can consult an atlas if you need to. I do not indulge in 'third rate indie fanny'. You are a recalcitrant ( check your dictionary ) fool.

Now go fuck yourself.

[JUPITERSCOCK69]

@seoulstar

hahah!! i'm a 'recalcitrant ' am i? lmao!!! i think the term you're searching for is 'troll' and it's always a pleasure to get a cheap rise out of a dumb cunt like you (whatever shit hole you're from) have a great day dick-head.

[seoulstar]

@JUPITERSCOCK69 You can't even work out where I live from my username....

I am guessing that you aren't at med school.

[TheDensley7]

@JUPITERSCOCK69 Hey there fuckface, fuck off you cunt.

[Lieu3C4]

Godde I'm sick of hearing how unique the bloody Fall is.

[STEVEFINNERTY]

your stepdad is an idiot hahaha,,, nuff said

[shebangsthedrums2]

Are people having a laugh?, they are so bad.

[screwtape84]

Love when Mark laughs at the guy trying to over-intellectualize the falls music by telling a story about the title. i could listen to Mark all day, clever and funny as fuck.

[shadowkunt]

@screwtape84 Clever my ass. The guy is barely-sentient. He's a dribbling half-wit.

[lovespoiled]

will everyone quit slagging off the genius named mark e smith...he's a fucking institute in the alternative underground music world...so just stop t,...

DREAMING THE DREAMS OF DA DREAM ONWARDS N UPWARDS KEEPING THE FAITH FOREVER AND A DAY TIL THE VERY LAST HOUR I SPEND IN THIS LIFETIME

[shebangsthedrums2]

@lovespoiled The fall are shit

[StanPomeray]

@shebangsthedrums2 no, you are

[shebangsthedrums2]

@StanPomeray Idiot.

[shadowkunt]

@lovespoiled Mark is almost fully braindead.

[cosmicrider287]

got some wheels zoom on the back.

[funtimefreddy34]

get some false teeth mark you might talk better

[teddyJadeable]

I remember this. It's so funny. My stepdad thinks he's like Richard Madeley gone wrong.

[dalesmith1987]

your stepdad is an idiot.

[unseenwires]

You don't have to be english fantasykiss08 you just have to understand individuality and creative expression. Nobody grasps these ideals like Mark E. Smith. His beauty is that he then takes it and pisses on it from a great height even though he epitomises it at the same time. But you've proved your lack of understanding of anything I've said siply by being called fantasykiss08.

[UltimateVenom]

fucking legend, smart, funny guy, and also a rate prick.

[ski7878]

Cracks me up everytime! :) Met him once in an off-licence - really friendly bloke.

F8ckin legend.

[fantasykiss08]

The Fall are gross. I guess you have to be English to like these fuckers.

[Ulmeyda08]

"Gross" ?

[hughrjc]

You spanner

[6008735rd]

With a gay name like fantasykiss, I'm pleased you don't like them

[3LARI]

@6008735rd ha!

[stephenmyers99]

@6008735rd 'FantasyKiss'? Jesus bloody Christ....

[daystilljersey]

@6008735rd [sarcasm]YEAH! Homophobia! Whooo![/sarcasm]

[zanzibar79]

"Wheels zoom up your back?" the bald headed dude asks in that class media accent you here regularly, and Mark explains. Good old Mark. He has contempt for the people who need it.

[ErraticDisco]

"Taken too long to be accepted in Manchester" is bollocks, as is the book.

[bigbabyjesusaddf]

hahah mark e smith. haha.. i fuckin knew at like 415 when he was looking around for something.. i fucking knew it was for his beer somehow.. cheers man

[swineburn]

I know I will get some email responses for this one; but "Hex Enduction Hour" is absolutely genius and The Fall were never able to top that album.

[GuyCybershy]

You're right, however no one else has ever topped "Hex" either 'cept for maybe that last Sonic Youth record.

[SMThomasson]

I love the way Mark says "I don't know!" after being asked what he'd think looking back on The Fall should they split up, he just says it really honestly and Northern.

Knowing MES, the tag on his shirt was probably left on for effect and he wouldn't care if he knew it was there anyway.

[geoffwode1]

The best part was he had a massive tag on his shirt with the price tag missing.

[jjj7477]

yeah, wow......

[tennessee888]

MES looks damn good for a 115 year old man

[seoulstar]

Love the face and noise at 1.48.... like a Del Boy crossed with a frog

[MrBronson66]

What a terrible clip, though. That twat reading about cocaine is like the anti-Fall.

[jjj7477]

and more about themselves than The Fall, as per usual.......

[ArthurParri]

You're right about that.I think he's like the anti-Fall too.

[blargflobber]

Its quite funny when the interviewer says "wheel zoom up ya back??". Im surprised he tolerated him to be honest, he seems very lucid, perhaps the interviewer is just quite dry

[kiwistory]

shame 'reformation' wasn't a smack in the face

[askaskandy]

I have absolutely no idea what this bloke said, but I don't care, he still rocks.

[hasanbajwa]

he is easy to understand, get your ears cleaned!!

[jjj7477]

yeah, another 'tard.....

[mmikey3]

hes the man

[brianwilson49]

Accept no imposters. MES is the real deal.

[jjj7477]

cool posting....
