Mark E Smith 1999

[@davidb8731]

One-third words, one-third gestures, one-third implication. Someone who knew the art of communication.

[@ScreaminTunnel]

offering a ciggie to the cameraman. Class.

[@David-h4z2s]

Love that bit and the interviewer having a ciggerate with Mark E Smith

[@GNeuman]

That was a nice little interview, never seen Mark so friendly towards an interviewer! RIP, MES.

[@elecsomify]

yeh

[@jamieroberts3682]

Offers the cameraman a cig, carried his trade in a carrier bag. Legend

[@TheChrisrg]

I loved that 😂. He did an interview once saying Barging Booze ( a shop in Prestwich) doing "some great deals" 😂 Legend .

[@blipblip88]

another level of fun is watching this with the subtitles on..

Re the interviewer, Mick Geyer from 3PBS FM in Melbourne, who Nick had brought to London to help him curate the Meltdown festival in 1999: Henry Rollins: "Mick Geyer is one of the only friends I've ever had." Nick Cave: "Well, his influence over me was immense. I work in an office, I go to the office every day and basically my day began with lightin' up a fag, making a cup of tea and ringing up Mick Geyer. And we would talk for an hour or so on the phone. He would be in Australia. He was the one person that I would actually sing things over the phone to, recite lyrics over the phone to, put the phone next to the piano and play the latest song that I was working on. You know, he was someone that I could bounce that off. And he would give advice about it, or say "Nicholas this is, you know it ain't that good" or "it's great" or whatever, and he was invaluable in that way for me. He was the one person that I did that with, that was involved in the songs as they were actually being written rather than being a person that I presented the songs to later on. And I don't have that now, actually. And I miss that, terribly. He was extraordinarily patient, extraordinarily generous with his time and his ideas, there seemed to be no other agenda than that he was a friend and that he knew that it served me well to be encouraged by him.

[@myaphextwin807]

He was the friendliest I've ever seen him. Top man.

[@jawarholol4651]

I probably understood about 50% of what Mark said here. That being said, I enjoyed every fucking minute of it. Cheers mate!

[@kennethguitarfiend4493]

What a fantastic interview!!!!! Thx soooo much.

[@da53eog]

Great interview 👍

[@daviddavis3155]

Great clip, thanks a bunch!

[@TheChrisrg]

Love how he sometimes trails off into unintelligible utterances 😂 nice little interview 👍

[@joshbeeson8447]

MES looks well cool interview!

[@nogingerfool1]

he looks and sounds spot on here , considering he was coming out of a period of battering the booze at this point .

[@elecsomify]

And speed

[@signoguns8501]

he was battering booze and amphetamine all his life, wasnt he?

[@kompromatt-d7v]

That cigarette drag...

[@Harpdashian]

Imagine what MES would have thought of the past year

[@Peter_Pepper_Love]

🎶...a lotta crap'ahhh🚬🥴🍻

[@TheLlanDrovers]

Yeah I guess he would have more to say about it that a lot of the lemons out there right now!

[@Peter_Pepper_Love]

@@TheLlanDrovers 🎶he'd talk alotta windaaah☝🏻🥴💓

[@cazb877]

LEGEND

[@nickgrant2906]

[@elecsomify]

So he’s 41 here? Good old Mark

[@signoguns8501]

oooff. He looks about 58 lol. All that msoking and drinking and speed doesnt do much for your looks

[@David-h4z2s]

Rock and Roll Living for ya

[@underdawg2743]

42

[@David-h4z2s]

But looks 52,😫🥃🥃🥃 Least he wasn't a AA Bore💆

[@zetetick395]

Mark at his 'speediest' - with bonus phet sweat + facial tics

[@johnsalisbury1707]

His draw of the cigarette is the clincher to the sulphate question

[@jordansafari1437]

I think typically mark was speedin

[@jordansafari1437]

His jaw does the work

[@michaelroberts7374]

Leave the lad alone❤

[@markclifton4107]

MES the only one that disliked it

[@Vince-l4k]

M e, Smith alk par excellent

5:35 brilliant way of justifying the making of an LP 🤣

[@David-h4z2s]

Good Straight talking interview don't get interviews like this these days it's all to bland these days🥱

[@АлексаМладић]

Subtitles please?

[@TheFormerkgbchief]

Well I'm all about purgatory🤣

[@panderjitsinghvv8199]

"I’m so bored dealing with you people." Is that what he meant?

[@lancashirebomber9744]

smiffy

[@escherpainting8622]

always funny to me how behaved he is when the cameras are on lol. Makes you wonder if all those rag writers are just embellishing their stories about MES' crazy antics

[@blankeon6613]

Doubt it. MES just became more crazy when he was on drugs or drunk.

[@kompromatt-d7v]

Lol if you think Mark is sober here... @@blankeon6613

[@drzazgi666]

Gramme interviewe....

[@zetetick395]

my thoughts exactly O_O

[@drzazgi666]

@Dick Felcher wtf schizo

Manchurian talk.can't understand a word.Manchester dialect?

[@violinistoftaupo]

* mancunian

[@David-h4z2s]

I can understand him I am not from Manchester

[@jimburton1]

​@@David-h4z2sneither was he

[@niitsukid]

Speed isn’t a pleasure to take unless u are dancing - can’t understand how he enjoys speeding his but off the whole time - unless he’s had a fat line of Charlie

[@animatiz]

Tom Prince Isn’t a pleasure for you you mean

[@niitsukid]

animatiz u know me to well

[@Peter_Pepper_Love]

🎶...unless you like feeling anxiousss🚬🥴🍻

[@mariz9084]

It actually is when you're a bit hyper normally, it sort of helps you to concentrate. No good for the ladies in high doses though, always wondered how, or if ever, Mark dealt with that particular part

[@InstallaFriend]

@@mariz9084I think it’s worth noting he never had any children

[@geraldrooney5677]

Mark E Smith interviewed by Nick Cave..

[@terryfunku]

Gerald Rooney nope

[@geraldrooney5677]

Yup...its a piss take I reacon- ill bet my red right hand thats Cave conducting the interview..

[@terryfunku]

I really don't think so. In the beginning, Mark speaks of Nick like he's not in the room. He doesn't address the interviewer, which he would, directly, if if it was indeed Nick Cave.

[@geraldrooney5677]

Ahh but you're not thinking like Mark E Smith...he was a routine piss taker, and its irrelevant that he speaks of Cave like he's not in the room...he doesn't address the interviewer either as you said...think about it...use your imagination ;)

[@sittingnexttobrian]

The interviewer refers to “Nick” several times too. Cave is a bit self-absorbed, but not to the point of referring to himself in third person.

[@underdawg2743]

He's 42 here but looks around about 55
