That girl on the guitar!

Fucking A . Amazing

Still brilliant!! I'd have that white Rick in a heartbeat too!!

Ok I'll check the record alright?

Classic stuff. They don’t make ‘em like that anymore.

One of the best post punk bands Ever

can we please show a moments respect to that mans power to pull a devoted fox

One of the longest streaks of consistently great albums, M.E.S. and The Fall were always an absolute thrill in concert at the same time absolute masters of ego-less understatement, driving rhythm and utter cool. Nothing like it. One of the few bands I still listen to regularly after more than 40 years.

Didn't know the band until fairly recently. Like the hypnotic beat and Mark's lyrics and vocals.

2024. This is PUMPING! Gets better with age as the charts fill with regurgited hip-hop remixes and gangsta crap. Classic stuff.

Long , long ago !

Just looked this up to play to my nephew - bonus unexpected Ivor Cutler! Wonderful!

Brix brought a lot to that band

Thank you John Peel when I was about 12 👍🏻

Boss. Go ed.

I hear “the beautiful people” intro by Marilyn Manson sampled from here maybe

This is on CZcams twice so what do is I press on one after the other until there is no adverts. Thank you the fall 👊👊

irritates me beyond belief that this is a single note and senseless rambling for most of the song and it is still head and shoulders above anything i’ve ever heard before.

I actually like this interpretation, he's deconstructing the versing of the song rather than assigning it a new meaning. It's obviously about a boy coming to terms with and exploring his sexuality but how this image and feeling is created goes beyond direct meaning and bleeds into instrumentals and language methods. They go hand in hand and he's showing us that

Easily at the top of the "most underrated and important bands ever" list. Even if you don't listen to the Fall, the cool bands you love probably did.

Tom is fucking hilarious!!.

I'm 61 and was a big punk fan .but the Fall passed me by .I knew of them .but somehow never connected . The two sexy women , well placed to get noticed. Now starting to listen .

😎😍😁❤❤👍🤘✨✨✨🙏🎸🎶🎤👽

I have NEVER heard Baker with his native accent!

Mark E Smith was a Fabulist, a Munchausen, who seriously conned the serious arty farty types into believing he was a musical phenomena. In fact he was a talentless, bully and a F*****G C**T, whose alcoholism, was an example of his lack of ambition to pursue more interesting drugs. The worst kind of English entitlement that demands that everyone owes him a living just for being utterly dreadful.

Has anyone heard the actual advert that went out? I'd love to hear/see it.

I knew a dad of a friend just like him

You may not have been appreciated by the mainstream Mark, but The Fall’s impact on my own life has been monumental. Rest in peace hip priest. Your vibrations live on

But Kylie, mime that tune again and wiggle your bottom a bit Morley

This should have been an A-side instead of a B-side. One of his greatest early solo songs ever. Simple, beautiful and profound.

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I bet the Pixies liked the Fall

*It's a good song. Analysing anything makes it dead on arrival*

Mark E Glitter

He sure told them 😂👌

Borrowing heavily from "Rock'nRoll Pt.2" by Garry Glitter

Have have no idea why the Liverpolitan Ambassador against bullshit hasn't been knighted.

Morrissey was on corrie and rode his bike through, which helped with the inspiration but I'd say having a punctured bicycle is a universal experience of youth and the first shot at freedom to explore and then why think too much - actually enjoy your youth, when you can rather than waiting for the burdens of domestic life, parents, work, futute, to be ok.

God How good were they with brix

I saw a Symphony van in the wild earlier, didnt think theyd still exist!

I fucking love Tom Baker. He's everything an Englishman should be

I've watched this 100x

The band seem very downbeat and world-weary in the interview! I wonder if their defensive imposture above relates to the reception of "see you on the other side" a few years previous? After Baker left. Jonathan Donahue and the band apparently put a lot of themselves into "see you on the .." Expecting a reception or a recognition it sadly never received. The zeitgeist had shifted dramatically between release of 'boces' and 'see you ..' it was largely overlooked and ignored by the press and public, greeted in lukewarm fashion by casual fans determined to believe the band had lost a key component of their magic when David left . Causing the band to spiral into a period of doubt, reappraisal and retreat. When "deserters songs" was released and started to generate praise and interest from the press and public, they couldn't believe it apparently. Believing their moment had passed with "see you..". It looks like there's still a residual wariness to get too caught up in the hype or the spotlight. The unfortunate part is "see you on the other side " is an astounding album full of joy and Wonder. It deserved a much better reception than it recovered. Even now they apparently don't play anything from the album live .

6 days later- i cannot stop playing this song! brix smith- you can just see how much she is into the record- cannot take your eyes off her

Saw them Glasgow Barrowlands shortly after this- superb Dec 88. 👍 .

Pinched some Gary Glitter beat and guitar sound there

Beautiful. Takes me back. Haha!

Don't like the interviewer RIP MES 🇬🇧✊
