The Fall - "I am Damo Suzuki"

[@manolohaxe]

No one is complete until listen to The Fall.

[@amnodeidyet]

I saw a performance by, and met Damo Suzuki earlier this evening in Edinburgh. He radiates good feelings and happiness. See him perform any chance you get. He's planning on continuing this world tour until he drops dead (preferably on stage). I was blown away! Peace to all the mighty, mighty Fall fans.

[@hamletanderson]

a masterful dark tribute to can. a tether to two great bands at once. mark does it correctly in a way that his acolytes can only imitate.

[@barrymarshall]

yeah one of the all-time classic Fall tunes from one of their greatest line-ups, greatest albums and (from this evidence) greatest gigs ... alas, I would have been a mere six years old at the time ...

[@stuartcuts]

when you are tired of the Fall you are tired of living

[@hooblah]

All right! One of my absolute favorite fall songs. Thanks a million.

[@michaelstmark]

Superb indeed - brings back fond memories of This Nation's Saving gRace LP from the mid 1980s. Priceless.

[@paulandersen190]

Absolutely

[@bluntsafety]

I love this song!

[@ty3165]

this is a superb track

[@BibleBlack667]

Totally love it. When I die - which won't be long - will direct people to my several choices of Nations Grace - possibly my all time favourite album - ultra tough call - Rate it above Stones Let It Bleed and Exile, Beatles - most!, Lamb / Broadway , VDGG - Still Life - phenomenal record! ... Screamadelica, Stone Roses 1st, list can go on and on - as any of our lists will - but anyone who says "Talk Talk" I will bar immediately - for obvious reasons ... The Fall .. MES - number 1 always!!

[@malcolmcog]

please be alive now

[@bennyshambles]

So cool you mention Genesis “The Lamb...” and Van Der Graaf Generator “Still Life”. Definitely great albums as well.

[@henriksenwill]

The genius is what keeps you commenting on it. This music obviously means something to you, even if you wish it didn't.

[@TheCONTAX139]

DAMO SUZUKI live in Germany,Japanese influenced lots of Artist,such as BAUHAUS,THE FALL,BANSHEES etc..

[@robert1russell]

TOTAL AMAZING

[@mattycfox]

May we go back to days pre-Virgin Cannot get on clear vinyl The handle that was brass, is now brass evil The rock that was an egg, is in wrong cradle The hand that cradles the rock, makes egg gooey I am Damo Suzuki What a tune.

[@kogler]

It wasn't hard to find. It's from the DVD "Live at the Hacienda 83-85"

[@SPERANZA65]

First may i say a massive "cheers!" to kogler for posting this...great memories!... great comment hernani76!!...yes, the early to mid 80s in Manchester were fantastic...i used to love that club, b4 all this Madchester crap ( sorry just my opinion ), when decent bands played at the Hacienda, i was at this gig too...and remember 5 of us driving down to Bristol in a battered capri 2 weeks later to watch em on my 20th birthday....The Fall...pure science fiction...thanks mate.

[@fractaljack]

Dang! That squeak of Mark is as piercing as Blixa's screech! Very nice.

[@elizabethhann4028]

Good point. I've never heard anyone comparing Mark's vocals to Blixa's (and I'm a fan of both artists), but the more I listen to this recording, the more I think you're right. Cool!

[@tryfishin9]

Thats true! always think of Blixa when I hear those screeches. The first one to do that screech was Roger Waters in Careful with that Axe, Eugene or maybe Iggy in Funhouse

[@fractaljack]

@@elizabethhann4028 Somehow I missed your comment, Elizabeth. It's nice that someone else can hear what I hear, lol.

[@fractaljack]

@@tryfishin9 Good point, Cris. When I saw EN back in Chicago in the early 1980s, Blixa's screetch was WAY louder then any circular saw or cement mixer that was roaring on the stage!

[@tomrochester3131]

thanks for putting this up - possibly my favorite

[@schaefersmann]

powerfulllllllll, hauntingggggggggg

[@rottro]

good stuff thanks

[@nath909]

if everyone bothered listening to the fall, they'd be the most popular band on the planet.

[@declan3906]

If I was in Manchester at the Hacienda on the 8th January 1985 I would have seen this band.

[@andystorey7683]

amazing drumming....

[@anklamer]

Karl Burns

[@sustainedXnoise]

[@sisterdiggins]

Yeah thats Brix and yes the song is about Damo Suzuki.

[@jmthornberry]

Agreed.

[@ty3165]

@swolage bought it from amazon and it really is a great album

[@marciusnery4065]

Too much information. Thks Mr. Smith.

[@garissonangel]

Don't ever listen to this on acid. You'll regret it. Believe me!

[@arcrs40]

ui"""" muito bom.. THE FALL

[@garissonangel]

I remember listening to Bend Sinister on Mushes; ROD was fantastic of course, but by the time I got to English Grenadiers I was wishing it was Frenz Experiment! [You'll either know what I mean or you won't!]

[@niggimiggi4720]

woaaaauuuuu

[@amnodeidyet]

@malkiebroon It's all good! I love being alive! Peace and noise!

[@johnakni]

Yeah,but who is Malcolm Mooney then?

[@Warp75]

johnakni American Can man

[@michaelbright9738]

Malcolm Mooney was the original Can singer, he's on their first album only.

[@joetotale1]

[@malkiebroon]

[@clemzzz]

i bet no one knows what you mean but I do Halleluyah !!!

[@carolinejohnson22]

Tago Mago 🥰

[@declan3906]

What have you got in that paper bag?

[@malcolmcog]

My overdraft is an inverse relationship to the size of Marc E. Smiths shoe size

[@thepanoramiccat]

I like The Fall AND Dire Straits. Whaddaya say to THAT?

[@kanemartin3094]

No worries pal! All good that, no mither!

[@brianstockwell4069]

Split personality!

[@ThisCharmingFan]

Lol, he's singing bout the Can singer aint he? well the title is him anyway. gotta confess never paid much attention to these lyrics--it's the overall song i like- weird and wonderful.

[@honestinjun]

MAKES EGG GOOEY

[@andrewstorey9419]

who was drumming on this??...anyone know?

[@NoobWarlocc]

Karl Burns?

[@duncan-rmi]

si w, surely....

[@hiddenfire65]

Sounds like Bauhaus playing Can's "Oh Yeah". Not The Fall's most original moment.

[@ty3165]

@ullyanders i know what you mean exactly

[@cruiserscreek]

erm...isn't that the point seoulstar?

[@uunivers]

Greatest song ever! I love Damo Suzuki! I hate Cure! ))) Seriously! Just this song made imprint in Music Have more then whole Disintegration and Pornography!

[@schaefersmann]

wow...creepy...

[@sfabian]

That is kind of a stupid question. It's, like, the cult band.

[@maduserid]
