- this is a very hard video to find,i have it because i am in it, i am the guy in the blue demin jacket, you can see me on the right hand side jumping about like a loon at 0:08 and 2:48
The only bloke I'd ever call true punk rock. John Rotten and the rest sold out, Mark E Smith was the same from day 1 to his death
Well to be fair to the pistols. They never thought of them selves as punk at first. That was the lable given to them that McClaren then cashed in on and ran with. Lydon was a pink Floyd fan and had long hair when joining the pistols FFS
Jones spoke about this in an interview that used to be on here
Born as we were
Im 45 ...and old punk justs get better
Rotten is an old lesbian.
@@rainblaze. lmao
has anybody noticed how everything's gone to hell in this world since MES died???
not a coincidence
I don't think Mark would have been down with masks, social distancing or the Covid.
yes.
i know i know i know .....
noted and thanks
Rest in Peace Chief.
one of the best pop songs ever written
if you see a cat out on the street, & if you smile, you are a creep- C.R.E.E.P
I know I know I know I know I know
Taxi for Smith 😂
All hail the mighty Fall. The saviours of music.
Yep
Quite so
god bless the person who mixed this
leaving the deep end in on the toms
RIP Mark E Smith. Thanks for the memories.
You said: What about the meek?
I said: They've got a bloody cheek
Onion headline.
Pope says screw the meek
Vanity and pres-umption-a
Best lyric of all time
That’s stolen from Dostoevsky bloody cheek line
Thank you, guy-in-the-blue-demin-jacket
not seen this for yonks im the drummer this was filmed on near the old kent road happy days (SOMETIMES)
Tom Head so how long did you last in the fall before mark kicked you out? ;) they're my favourite band.
R.I.P uncle tom
@@ophiolatreia93tom was the drummer on the unnuterable and the marshall suite .he had a fight with mark e smith .sadly tom passed away a few years ago
@@Jessicalightowler11 RIP to him
rip xx
I've been a bit of a Fall fan since i witnessed them on the Tube doing 2×4 & Smile, i think the 2 best albums were the Marshall suite & the unutterable, and i just see That the drummer on both them albums has passed !! R.I.P. mate .
mark e smith, can you do no wrong? brilliant lyrics, hypnotic arrangements, you fit me JUST RIGHT!
Great '60's kind of guitar. Love it.
Great song & video, and super loon jumping! Thanks for putting this up. God knows The Fall can be disappointing and live you can't be sure what it's going to be, but it's undeniable that unlike many 'solid and reliable' groups you have the chance of something BRILLIANT.
Invigorates,informs and puts a big smile on your face!!!!!! RIP LEGEND XXXXXX
This is like the second Fall track I have ever heard. I'm hoping to buy some of their stuff in the future :) I'm well digging this lol!
then you go to it! wonder how many you've heard in that 13 years since this comment...
@@CharlieMessing Man's finished the whole discog
Just keep reminding people how to break the mold. Never been a better time to kick off and this is your soundtrack.
Thanks for the rare treat!!! Love these guys and gal so much I can't even tell you!!!
No glam, all brains.
Mark will always be the coolest guy in the room....Well, cept for that guy in the blue denim jacket ! Thanks for sharing
The best! Still makes me smile that Vauxhall used this track for their adverts.
If I ever become a professional darts player, this is my walk-on music. "Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!"
vastariner me too !!!!!
I'm not into darts but I would watch it if you did that. You utter LEGEND 😆😆😆
They chose Not to perform this tune when I saw them , to my chagrin I’ve always loved this composition and lyrics was lucky to see the Fall about 3-4 years ago
This man was a freaking genius.
Truly great group ! they have a reputation for being , perhaps indie or whatever else , but just think a moment about the very catchy Fall songs that you can sing along to ! This is one of them , there are many ( and I mean many ) others , I will mention just a few . Elastic Man , Creep , Cyber Insekt , Kicker Conspiracy , Hit the North . The list goes on ... and on , my point ?? The Fall are not only one of the great rock groups , but are also one of the great pop groups .
Cyber Insekt is a great song, MES banging on about book versions of films adapted from music albums and whatnot, the books on the shelf in a railway station WH Smith.
I think pop consumers usually expect things to be about love. Really dodgy, ill-advised relationships between daft women and dickhead men. Yellow moth flies adapted from a Frank Chickens sketch, not so much.
Some of the songs you mention I'm not so keen on. Most of what they did up to the late 80s sounds pretty awful to me, with a few exceptions (Iceland is sort of wonderful in it's unique way). Roche Rumble though is horrible, some daft kid who doesn't know what he's talking about. I do like Hit The North though, 95% guaranteed.
Trust In Me is legendary, went round and round my head. I haven't played a song over and over like that since I first got the Pixies Doolittle album.
Yeah The Fall had lots of quite poppy riffs and tunes. But the lyrics would never have been acceptable, nor a bloke who basically can't sing a note, rambling nonsense into the mic. We love it cos we're groovy people who can appreciate the unexpected and experimental, new things to destroy boundaries that had no business being there in the first place.
But yeah they're no Kylie. I wouldn't have them any other way. It's why they've had 40 years of diehard fans, where Rick Astley lasted one album (not 40-odd!) with his pop stylings.
@@greenaum oh man rick astley had that "hit" single- i remember its video being played on tv constantly and it really filled me with the most miserable feeling! It was an absolute nightmare! Misery to the point of terror
Joy.
In song.
Who wooda thought MES would bring joy?
What a bloody cheek.
New to this internet lark good to see a generous amount of fall footage and quite a few interviews with ol' mark......danke.
TAKE ALL MY MONEY !!! Thank you denim jacket boy !!! Mark one of the greatest artists from UK ever !!!!
why just from UK ???
Another musical genius leaves this mortal coil. Not many left! RIP Mark
wow dude, i was there on that dam roof, i almost went over the edge, it was a cool day filming
Stefan Davenport when was this filmed? 1999?
@@oldsynth Touch Sensitive was released in march 1999 so probably this was filmed around the time.
Lately, we need Mark E. Smith, a barn storming original.
probably my favourite song of all time. Glorious
'You say what about the meek?/I say they've got a bloody cheek.' That's some Nietzchian wisdom right there.
Just heard on Absolute 90s, forgotten 90s. Great song
70 below zero in Chicago is very cold I had to experience it! and go to the store get some smokes on cross country skiis
Absolutely glorious!
I've watched this video for years, but only now got around to reading your description. Very cool, Stefan! Cheers to you in a Fall video!
Amazing as always from The Fall. Love Wake up in the City, Scareball and massively amazing is Brix Smith's Rhythm guitar in "The Mixer" (live verson here on TH-cam, five minutes-plus??). Freaking underrated to the hilt, was The Fall!
I was very lucky to see mark and a recent lineup of the Fall
Remember watching my recording of this for the first time when MTV2 120 Minutes finally played it after..erm..about three years of requesting. Glad to see it here again.
Music does not any greater than this!!!!!!
This and "No Xmas for John Quays" are my favourite Fall songs.
They may not be the most consistent band in the world but when they are on form they are amazing :-)
the most consistent say the Least
More consistent than most I'd say.
Infinitas gracias por tu música Mark E. Smith. QEPD
Always with us
best band of all time.
🎶 HEY HEY HEY HEY! 🎶
How this song (among *many* others by The Fall) hasn't been used in a film is mind mind boggling
I remember this from an old Vauxhall Corsa advert
You liked it, and The Fall, before the advert though, right? It's not the first time you heard it.
Can't remember who said it, but somebody said they hoped at least whoever wrote the song actually got paid.
Ah, now I look it up, a court case. Headline:
"Fall lyrics 'hard to hear', says judge in copyright case "
Haha! It'd have been worth suing over their entire back catalogue just to baffle half the British justice system trying to figure out what he's singing. Getting in experts in ancient Babylonian, and the latest supercomputers using AI to try dissect the actual words coming out of MES's mouth, and if indeed they actually ARE words, and if they are, what language could they possibly be?
Then a bloke from Bury comes in, and just tells them. He's actually a French prince.
Here's that court case, if you're interested -
www.theguardian.com/music/2015/jun/03/fall-lyrics-song-copyright
He was a tight old fucker, Mark E Smith. Wouldn't spend 50 quid on a video, then argues over royalties for his ale money.
You didn't need to tell me you're the guy in the blue demin jacket I Know I Know I Know I Know I Know ;)
I can't make him out. In those scenes there's a dozen mad blokes jumping about! I can't really make out a blue anything. Hey Stefan, can you put a picture up somewhere online with a frame captured with a big arrow pointing at you? Just curious!
Loving this, very catchy !
I love this....car advert.
So underated rest in peace mark e smith
"Vanity and presumption, deffo!" think I have a Fall problem; I listen to them most of the time. Nearly everything else sounds too normal, too produced. Perhaps everyone else wants to be loved and overdoes it. The Fall don't care and they don't like you. They just make music only god or the devil could make. Most other artists make stuff somewhere in between.
Mark King only one other band falls into this catagory. The Cardiacs
Great comment! I agree with you!!! Long remember The Fall!!!
Depose vanity presumption
Fuck ya mate
what about the meak?
They're maaaaaaah favourite group.
every decision he makes is within good reason. my favourite lineup is the current one. really tight live band.
saw them in NYC - CBGBs 1981 - great then too!
MES well gives a cheeky smile whilst throwing that bottle and then tries to hide it.
super video! true rock without romantic tears )
thank for upload )))
Rest in peace
Mark E Smith...
Thanks for this-made my night
Thanks so much stefd75 this is F.A.BBBBB!!!!
RIP mark
@toucans11 you can tell the fall is a community when past drummers comment on youtube
best music video of all time.....
They rocked when i saw 'em in Madison back in 1983.
the bass
some of the most half arsed lipsyncing ever haha brilliant
uzdravlje ti bilo Stefane, cheers!!!
Volim da citam hvalospeve o ovoj grupi a posebno je zadovoljstvo kad ovde vidim i moj jezik 500000 fans can t be wrong
I'm impressed, they actually played this on MTV2.
RIP brother
YOU SAY WHAT ABOUT THE MEEK,
I SAY THEY GOT A BLOODY CHEEK!!
hahahaha this lyric is perfect example
why this man is fuckin greatest lyricist/poet/writer/singer/performer alive
so fuckin beautifully honest and unpretentious and cutting it hurts ouch!! i love u mark E smith
The subway is at Elephant & Castle by London College of Printing. Happy days!
I dont recall going that far up. I thought it was near the roundabout near the Old Kent Road joins the New Kent Road but it was sometime ago
Thank you.
Going to see them live on Sunday. Not sure what it'll be like.
🎶💞awesomeness personified🚬🥴🍻
MARK E LEGEND!
I can see my flat in the background 😄
This is just... top.
Thnk u for sharing it.
Oh, MES, how we miss you.
what a good song
Cool, lazy, fun video just like all videos should be.
Nothing can top The Fall.
Yeh!! I'm all the 5's. Up The Fall!!
mtv2 was the bomb
.....until it became BET13 = RACIST! I know, I know.
I'm going to buy a Vauxhall corsa after listening to this
Pefect metaphor!
Why can't The Fall have a Christmas number 1?
I used to go to school with a guy call Steven Devenport. cant see him in this video though
where did you go to school and i can tell you if that is me or not...also you got the name wrong
indeed you are right, was you there
Tommy wiseau wiseau wiseau!!!! Eh eh eh!!!

MES has got it out for that guitar actor, huh!
Me I love the drum set.
Thats my uncle tom murphy on the drums
this is great apart from MES throwing beer bottle in subway as someone's dad has to pick that up
It was fate this was uploaded the day i officially became a man
congratulations on the sex change
The argument for the best song and band of all time starts and ends right here .
Good, but have you heard of a wee lass named Jane McDonald?. I rest my case.
