Frank Sidebottom's Supergroup - Hit The North

[@natthingmajig]

As a Fall fan, I think its very hard to tell the difference.

[@halloweenjack8683]

He was less off it than the great genius Mes ha loved em both

[@aclark903]

I think the original is slightly better.

[@markandresen1]

That's coz we never saw Mark E-Smith and Chris Sievey in the same room at the same time.

[@motionsuggests]

keyboard work rivals Mark's, honestly.

[@deletebilderberg]

@@aclark903 Like you can tell the difference.

[@WhyWhydaguy]

I can't help but realize that everyone in this video is dead. Not only that but almost literally every single thing from Frank is dead. Really sad when you think about it. RIP Chris Sievey

[@reggiedixon2]

They're all dead Dave

[@thenobullshtchannel8768]

RIP David! There hanging out again over the rainbow in Franksville land! Isn’t that fantastic? Isn’t that brilliant? As frank would say?? Thank you!!! 🌹

[@kcl4364]

The only Fall cover that's acceptable

[@thenobullshtchannel8768]

We miss you Frank!! And little Frank too!! There both Hitting the north now in the great beyond to Frank land!! Thank you!!! ❤️RIP

[@pavedoh]

This is the best video on youtube

[@stuartcarswell2815]

All 3 now gone ..RIP David , Chris and Paul

[@davidparker4580]

Genius. His entire act showed how utterly vacuuous celebrity culture is. Just at the time it was reaching its peak. Perfect.

[@leomunroe9348]

"If it's me and Little Frank on bongoes, it's still the Fall"

[@Stereolabdream]

the definition, utterly, of surrealism. more than that, its just bloody funny and life affirming. bye frank.

[@slaterslater5944]

Lordy, is it 11 years? He remains the daddy of dada. Gawd bless yer, Frank.

[@SkinnyEMedia]

I wish I was raised in MCR sometimes so I could see the brilliance of these bands and this show. Being raised in Herts, Essex, and Kent, I wasn't exposed much to the work of Frank Sidebottom. My first ever hearing about this character was from that Michael Fassbender dramedy FRANK. This is outright hilarious...especially his squeaky Northern accent.

[@craiggaming7797]

I feel exactly the same I'm slap bang on the border between herts and Essex

[@AdamMcCarthy74]

RIP David Soul. The last remaining member of this supergroup!

[@MrGwaldo]

RIP Paul Ryder too.

[@devilsforkdigital1490]

RIP to all three of these guys.

[@chrishall8705]

David Soul's remark at the end crowns it!

[@vinylstellen]

YES! Thanks for putting this up here. When I saw this originally, I cried with laughter for about half an hour.

[@eyewoodsay]

seen frank preform in the local working mens club in royton..oldham...only about 8 people were there....it was rubbish but fun...surreal....dream like in bits...got 2 shake his hand before he ran off.......love the fall tribute

[@andypaciorek4061]

All of the supergroup passed away now 😟 But on the other side somewhere there's a reunion of Frank, Hutch, Paul Mondays and both little Mark E Smiths.

[@deletebilderberg]

Miss you Chris - and Horse 😢

[@jaynola247]

The day Hutch joined The Fall slash Happy Mondays. Crazy and brilliant.

[@klangding]

This has brought back long suppressed memories from my childhood, being allowed to stay up late on a Friday night watching Granada TV. At the time I never even realised Frank Sidebottom was supposed to be funny; I suppose I'd've used the term "performance art" if I'd known it; and now I'm inclined to say the same... The fact that this was clearly broadcast relatively recently only makes the whole phenomenon more disturbing.

[@telophasemusic]

Even with frank (not) on bongos, it's still The Fall.

[@109ecroyd]

That was the funniest thing I`ve seen in my life !!

[@pickassoreborn]

R.I.P Frank. You'll be missed, sir.

[@uncanny-noir]

RIP Paul Ryder

[@Weaselier]

Ladies and gentlemen, the new director general of the BBC!

[@jimslav6973]

"That's the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life." Totally deranged.

[@92RedRevolver]

Stupid it may be, fantastic it certainly was, Frank even said so!

[@seanbfinnegan]

fantastic!

[@robertbethell]

I'm in love!

[@AdamMcCarthy74]

RIP Paul Ryder.

[@ftmgriff]

RIP Frank/Chris. Ruddy bobbins news today.

[@DomSezXL]

I loved this clip. I wish they'd get a 3rd series sorted out. It's been three years since the last one!!

[@terrypussypower]

Frank was something else...funny as fuck!

[@gromitpesley]

Why is it funny?

[@terrypussypower]

***** If you have to ask.....

[@grahamfuray2106]

[@MatchesMalone1183]

I need to watch some Frank Sidebottom on acid.

[@CatBlackGuitars]

Been there, done that, highly recommended! 😹

[@u.kw1461]

I don't now why I like this guy

[@paulbutler43]

Tim KWaainuat Maybe because he was a genius performance artist?

[@SkinnyEMedia]

Because he's funny and he has a strong Northern dialect.

[@Timmybear]

Mr. Soul is at least as skilled on keyboards as Mark E. Smith is (check out the live album from Iceland sometime). :)

[@BigIainy]

RIP Frank,sadly missed

[@tobiaswheating7704]

[@Bellybuttonbash]

Amazing, the music is awful and discordant but Frank is such a damn enigma, I'm so hyped for the Fassbender film.

[@bernardhorrigan4753]

[@JamesBentley1981]

I think David Soul has since sacked his manager.

[@MidgeDiabolik]

RIP David Soul (I'm guessing that this won't feature in his Guardian obituary 😂)

[@JJONNYREPP]
