  • "Yeah sure...he was a cool guy in the early days, now he looks my grandad when he cant find his false teeth"

    He was never "cool", even in 1982 he looked like some sort of greasy haired unfashionable geek. He may be knocking on now, but he has 100% more talent and originality than any of the shit you hear on the radio at the moment, and 1000% more talent than anything the fucking X factor could generate. Look below the fucking surface for gods sake.

  • I smoked a joint with Mark E Smith in Stockport in1979.

    Fuck.

    He turned me into a mental person and fucked me up for the rest of my life.

    It's clearly my only memory...

  • Elitist, I've got it, can't see it though because it's just way too cool for you. Cliche'd bitch.

  • Piece of shit.

  • @swanlee33 Strange tho what is perceived about MES, on a personal note, i've met him 3 or 4 times in my life, the first in a queue at Euston Station waiting for a train back to Manchester Piccadilly in 1984, i've always found him very polite and accommodating, i always got the feeling that Mark will always be decent if you are decent with him, a bit like anyone really?, if you ever get to meet him, i hope he's the same way to you :-)

  • the reason people only paint to the fall is that they have a prolific discography.no disrespect to the fall i love it but you can put any great artist with a long discrogrphy and paint,brian eno for example.

  • Can anyone subtitle what this genius is mumbling ? :)

  • The years have ravaged him.... either that or all the speed and alcohol he's consumed...

  • Is there anyone who still hasn't heard 'Cheap Space Chant' ?

    In YouTube, search for 'Timekode, Mark E Smith'

    and listen to the strangest and best MES/Fall

    collaboration of them all...

  • i love this man so much- i'd hate meet the fucker though
