Mark E. Smith from The Fall according to reports

 

[leedswolf]

Sad news. He was diagnosed with cancer last year IIRC.

 

[Tony Towner]

Can't say I was ever a fan musically, but in terms of an influencer and all round personality he was massive. RIP.

Oh well.

 

[Keef]

Was never a fan of the fall,and always thought mark e smith sounded like a shouty pissed bloke in a bus station(bit like the sleaford mods singer) but you can't deny his and the falls influence

 

[Tony Towner]

Oh well.

Why be like that on this thread?

 

[nimrod]

damn. it was inevitable and he's looked so ill lately but i'm pig sick at this news. I asked a mate of mine who's a massive fall fan for his top 40 fall songs about 2 years ago. I'm still waiting for it cos apparently it's 'very difficult' for him to do. if i ever get it i'll post it on here. now to post blood outta stone again.

My thoughts too. I don't think I can even name a single song of theirs.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

He inspired the Curious Orange on TMWRNJ. If nothing else...



Fantastic lyricist.

Never even heard of them/him.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Heard of the band name. Couldn't name a single track.

Never became a Fall obsessive like some of my mates but the musical landscape was infinitely richer for having the Fall in it. Even if you've never heard one of their tracks, you've probably heard loads that wouldn't have been made had it not been for the Fall.

I just associate 'The Fall' with the BBC drama that starred Jamie Dornan.

A fantastic cantankerous motherfucker but a wonderful wordsmith.

When we went to Man City this season they played "Hit the north" during half time.

"Id like to thank mi dad who's dead and everybody else.....not"
