Goodbye you brilliant madman. Will love and miss you forever. This band was so entertaining to me as a kid, distracting me from my horrible childhood and providing some solace and identity (The Fall had a HUGE underground following even in the States thru kids like me). . Mark E. had this uniquely quirky lyrical composition an presentation that we will never see again. We have lost another musical Everest, never to be replaced. Kids today are incapable of this cuz they have no character, they are slaves to the popularity contest that is (anti)social media. Mark E. stood on his own and wouldnt give a toss about 'likes'. Rest in peace buddy. Peace out to Kids of the 70s/80s!
He credited most of the early fall sound to their long serving bass player stating it wouldn't have been possible without him, so no he wasn't the fall
You could only love him sir ...there was no hate or marmite shite . As he would say . . No pop or .dare I say it pretence . So don't contradic. .. there was no love or hate there was love .. then bullshit
@@HELLHAMMERHANDHIX I plead ignorance to your statement . Mr Riley. You say . I hang fire 🔥 and will take the bullets. . Allow me to come back once I learn
Loved that what Tim is doing in this interview is channeling the nature of Mark by irrelevant answers to the daft questions - laughing along at his own mischievousness 😂 and i’m sure Mark was looking down and laughing along too
Total cringe fest. Its like the Minister describing one of your loved ones at their funeral when its clear that they have never met them. No excuse from so called journalists at the top.
Just t read your excellent lil piece on the loss of M.E.Smith(Ahh!)+Totally agree he took the Fall thru many times that if they didnt have the stuff(?/Wouldve not lasted..thanks for writing+you onto it Kids in General today just wouldn't Have anyway to recognize The Falls +Mark e Smiths Brillance.et al !Id like to add Totally Wired is gotta b one of the best track/Single ive ever heard..also the Falls cvr of 'Mr Pharmacist'..+Victoria..are sheer brilliance R I.P.Mark E.Smith..

So eloquently put .... can't imagine my life without his brilliance. Such a loss , yet another amazing artist gone way to soon.
Nice one , succinct

Private Eye, Pseuds Corner much...???
Well said

Thank you.
He was the only constant member of the fall because he was the fall!
He credited most of the early fall sound to their long serving bass player stating it wouldn't have been possible without him, so no he wasn't the fall
If you turn on the auto-generated subtitles, it calls MES, "Marquis Smith". How apt
Love him or hate him ,he was indeed a great visionary, and will be missed by many. I still listen to my original fall vinyl.

@@colonisedtartan9539 ...tell that to Mr Riley mate.

More than 50 members of The Fall. You were The Fall Mark. RIP mate.
is Tim in his grandads caravan? and a little bit wired?
Good effort that the sound an that yeah, great upload.

Tim wasn’t from Salford either! Emily Maitliss is a clueless lefty.
Total cringe fest.

yeah I know, but its nice that mainstream culture gave him the recognition upon his passing. We don't have to be all precious like he was OURS
He died in 2018? Seems like last week. Ain't missed much has he
The fall had originallity.
I hear you telephone thing…. Listening in.
Everybodies lovely when they're dead
Yep, I'm going to put "WHAT A C*NT!' on my gravestone, people won't know if they're being insulted or not and better yet nobody to argue with.
Apart from the smell

Did she say 'sometimes fearsome capo of The Fall'?
He ain't Dead..just play his stuff
He couldn't have been as bad as he wanted everyone to think.
Tim, can I be your friend. Yeah I was Mark's window cleaner
Elaborate?
Alcohol....the most debilitating dope (if misused) dahh....
Why was it this guy like John Lydon who were both very intelligent people just so into talking so much bolloxk ?
Tim Burgess is lame in this interview.
He's alright man, lighten up. 🦆🎈
@@silverapples75 He's a dipstick here
Burgess has the same snub nose as another Manc - Barney ' Sumner'. It must be a Manc nose.
I wuz lame for a week and a half after it.
maybe it was a fortnight.
@@finnkdy 😂 Hilarious.
Weird Al Yankovich!?! 😂
Tim Burgess not adding much there
Also I don't think they were friends, that's why Tim Burgess has nothing to say.
yeah i think youre right there, but to commemorate his passing they needed to get someone to provide the appropriate level of respect.
Tim is a nice lad, not that it matters of course.
They met plenty of times as it happens. I know this because I read an interview with Burgess years back.
@@GOFFMEISTER Mark always used to put him down. I know he put 99.5% of people down but he laid into him.
@@TheIkaraCult q
Tim Burgess looks more annoying than he sounds. Loved the Charlatans but fffffk..
Hello, Richard David James!
