Mark E Smith Interview - April 30, 2008

[@salmonico]

Mark E Smith has the best laugh ever. And the best rock and roll band too.

[@matthewmiller8048]

Miss MES. Such a great character. Still visit The Fall collection daily for my dose of normality. Can't live without them.

[@mikeoleary1723]

Always had his wit and his hair. RIP Mark.

[@schnav]

i would love to buy this man a beer. he'd probably throw it at me, but it would be worth it.

[@andrewfarmer373]

Mark E Smith is a genius! R.I.P mate

[@justmadeit2]

Remember The Falls song called No Bulbs ? I made a video to go with it, in my recent uploads on here if you and anyone else wants to see it :)

[@gringopig]

Mark morphed into Johnny Cash through the years. RIP wee man.

[@leighbennett1961]

@Z Girl according to the great man himself he was 6'1" but walked with a stoop.

[@bwm_72]

@@leighbennett1961 Saw him on the street after a gig, he's taller than you might think- not a bloke to be messed with.

[@PATTISONize]

overrated hes under-rated you pleb,listen to his lyrics the music is secondary,but to be honest ido love the music too but thats just me, the man makes album after album that are fuking briliant

[@waynepinnock5874]

That bathos laden, tangential humour was the seat of Marks genius

[@gilwood7530]

I've been loving THE FALL and MES for years and I was so shocked and Pleased to see him play JESUS in a cameo !!! Blew my mind

[@styxcreek]

He has an infectious laugh. I can't understand a lot of what he says but I still find it funny.

[@jameskennedy3851]

Every mes interview I see makes me want to go to ancoats and get pissed.

[@leejohnson3762]

Me to mate

[@lancashirebomber9744]

i used to work in ancoats 89/90 making picture frames at love lane.

[@jiggersotoole7823]

Let's have a pub crawl!

[@321bytor]

'...there's no fucking red squirrels in Salford...'

[@stevenuuu1212]

This is fucking brilliant!! "The Indian Times"

[@poiutrew]

There are no red squirrels in Salford, and the streets are paved with cheese.

[@thatseverin]

Mark is not that old he is in his mid 50s, its pretty obvious he has false teeth now and that makes him look much older. His abuse of alcohol and speed are showing. Mark has created any amazing body of work .. few will refute that.

[@CastleHassall]

it was use of, not abuse of.. fuel

[@petre.w.487]

A f*cking honest bloke !!...

[@ash-iggdrazil]

english is not my tongue but i know exactly Mark is the great poet. His lyrics has the time lag - just like every good cones

[@lizshearer3460]

great jon

[@owenstunes5804]

there aint no red squirrels in salford...surprised he didnt write a song

[@martywhitevan]

can you imagine if mark and kieth richards did a duet?

[@justmadeit2]

What flashed up at 3:40 ? I couldn't read it

[@fifty_fifty_clown]

Unrendered

[@wagwaneasy]

3:41 it says UNRENDERED see if u can spot it...

[@ty3165]

what album are you talking about?

[@mrblue99999]

Transcription?..

[@Lieu3C4]

More veer to the sheer truth than a Formula 1 racer.

[@rapidpig]

I think you read that wrong, it's "MES, 4pm."

[@asderc1]

God he must only be about 50 hear, can't say he looks it...

[@SRDhain]

He's kaleid

[@TheHappiestPlace]

Unrendered. Final Cut.

[@MadderMel]

Funny as.

[@AlabamaManWhore]

Holy shit, you fans don't mess around!

[@lizshearer3460]

giv em a a;e a;roght

[@flachi32]

Funny and a bit nasty at the same time. Not sure I could spend too long in his company without getting wound up by him - not sure he could receive piss takes as well as he dishes it out

[@fightington]

Pretty sure he could just give it back better

[@sirtinycreep]

Is Mark E Smith drunk?

[@chanterlands]

Almost certainly will have had a drink.

[@xyloplax]

Damn that Manchester accent, half of this sounds like "mdadmmmamfda mdmaf msmdmmm amfdasf mmmmdsa HAHAHAHAHAHAHA". Still awesome.

[@mileshedgehog]

I love him but he looks a million years old.

[@DavySolaris]

LOL

[@Guedingen]

Glad to see the interview's having a laugh - I can't make out what the fuck he's on about. Sobering...

[@djsunsunboy]

how can anyone understand what he says! looks like it was pretty funny hehe

[@barrypotter5751]

Maybe you should watch some interviews with Kyle faulkner and compare the two I'm Scottish but I can still listen to mes talking all night long

[@lizshearer3460]

goin t

[@TheMightyHartley]

Chill man. Major overreaction there.

[@dermot51]

me too alcohol and speed has fucked him up big time sad then again he was never the most coherent of people

[@gromitpesley]

dermot51 i can understand everything he says...

[@CastleHassall]

it was a way of life

[@BarriosGroupie]

@shebangsthedrums2 Mrk E Smith is overrated, taking credit for what the band create

[@kcl4364]

Hardly: "I write the words and I'm very lucky to have very good musicians with me" MES 2008.
