Sounds: Donnie interviewing Mark E. Smith and Marc Riley of The Fall (1982) 

He sure does

I bet his balls haven't dropped at the this point.

The hapless boy Lard.

Marc Riley had punched him in the face the night before. Thats why smith has a black eye.

Gerry Berry really? Tell me more...

That was Sounds, a show broadcast on Saturday afternoons in Australia. Donnie Sutherland was a local DJ but hosted the SU show from the 70s to the 80s. It was always worth putting on as they did stray from the top 40 and he was a good presence to see. Find, if you can, his similar interview with John Cooper Clarke from around the same time.

Donnie Sutherland had his own pop sinlgle hit. So he understood what it took. Unfortunately he also lost his brother at an early age as well which kept him grounded.

+Michael Robenalt What you on about - the original line up of New Order are all still alive.

You forgot Joy Division, The Chameleons, Happy Mondays, New Order, The Stone Roses and The Smiths?

Master Bates All great bands, but in the grand scheme of things...only Joy Division were at the same level as The Fall. And I’m saying this as a massive fan of all those bands.

Mark E Smith was the only punk to keep to what was real . Noone came close

One of them.to be fair..John copper Clark is my fav tho makes me laugh about more ..but love the fall and find mark funny as .people find him scary in the music world .it was too easy to shock .he loved that. Played up to it big Time..he ain't no different to old school guys ya meet in pubs and on building sites .there is always a small guy with a tounge of venom ..and damn he is funny .one of a kind in the music business. We need more of this again ..think for ya selfs .and be honest. That is what I have always taken from mark .and dont give a fk

Countdown wasn't. Sounds. That 's because Donnie is intelligent and respectful whereas Molly was only interested in the big acts.

Mad Cyril He makes it about them and isn't asking redundant questions (like influences on why them formed) But asks them what they are doing with their success...he is a phenomenal interviewer I have seen so far.

I thought his face looked strange!! Man, he got punched up but good!!!

@@misslizzie8480 Mark Smith and the rest of the group were in a disco the night before this interview, and MES got angry with Riley and Burns because they were dancing to ABBA or something, and said they were an embarrassment to the Fall, started shouting at them and trying to drag them off the dance floor and took a swing at Riley, so Riley belted him and knocked him on his arse! You just know MES would’ve been as pissed as a newt! It was a real shame, because it’s what led to Riley leaving/being kicked out of The Fall. That iteration of the group was the best imo.

@@terrypussypower It was Rock the Casbah 😆

Steve Hanley's account of the incident is hilarious. Just picturing MES screaming "Help, I'm being attacked!" after Riley punched him and being ignored by all of the roadies cracked me up.

... can you be certain it’s water?

It's Gin.

Ask Shane MacGowan - pretty sure he knows! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V82D7DarBaI.html

@@brendangeraghty8865 my bet is, vinegar.

+Ady Cardiac I've come across this guy before and he is absolutely great isn't he? Just perfect for me. Although at first look you think it's going to be cheesey.

+Ady Cardiac Thanx mate ;-)

Donnie Sutherland your welcome....is this actually Donnie or just someone representing him?....as i have heard that Donnies health has not been too great.

Considering what happened the night before I think that this interview is well conducted by all involved! - Marc and Mark had a set-to and it had ended with Riley punching Smith.

@@adycardiac698 This is not Donnie Sutherland.

+cosmicdrifter287 Thank you. Will do!

Which one Renegade?

@@ennbee2051 Think so. Some good bits. The Edinburgh years sound like he was happy as. His acrimony towards ex members is phenomenal. The American lads he worked with probably knew not to hang around too long.

lol

Five Pound!

Rock and Roll man.

+FRiB6890 great book. some of the descriptions of MES' meltdowns are hilarious.

well I've just read mark e smith biography called "renegade". He stated that they went to a terrible heavy metal after party and started playing smoke on the water, Riley started dancing to it and they were taking the piss out of him and laughing. He went over and said "get off the fucking dance floor" and grabbing hold of him. He then hit him in the face in the middle of the disco. Amusing how differently they have put it.

+Gromit Pesley Renegade is a good laugh. It's like transcriptions from pub conversations with Mark E Smith trying to remember exactly what went down and following loads of tangents along the way, which is pretty much how I reckon the ghost writer had to put the book together.

+FRiB6890 its like a Fall rashomon.

I just finished reading that part last night. It makes for some good visuals.

So would I!

you did a great job Donnie... you were respectful

Now he is beyond ill....t-t-t-totally dead

TT Totally alive by all accounts !

Count buckuleys also pointed me in this direction. Loving his podcasts at the moment.

+amorembalming They get me through the days at a very dull data processing job

buckles sent me here also

and I! God bless him. Loving all his ramble chats.

Do you all sing along to the jingles too? ;)

not till 1990
