The Fall - Big New Prinz HD 

people don’t commit to art like this anymore. fucking beautiful.

Went to high school in Houston TX. in the 80s. Me and my best friend were the only people at our school that listened to the Fall or even knew who they were.

RIP Mark E Smith 😢 The world is a duller place without you

Still mind blowing 30 years later. RIP Mark E Smith.

A million miles from anything we've seen and heard, let's go there..

I only discovered this band a month ago. They've made me so happy. Mark E. Smith was a genius❤️❣️

My granny played bongos on this

I remember that crazy night vividly, sitting in the stalls at Saddlers Wells on a cold autumnal evening in 1988. Opening with an orated pornographic text, with a huge image of the Houses of Parliament as a backdrop , followed by Brix Smith playing guitar on a giant hamburger, Leigh Bowery pushing a grand piano across the stage, Mark.E.Smith howling, whilst Micheal Clark & Company manoeuvred so majestically through the whole melee. Artistic endeavour today seems so tame and strategic in comparison.

The Fall, John Peel's favourite band. At the time I couldn't understand it. Now I finally get it - they're brilliant!

This should have been the big pop hit of 1988, with a killer beat and the best advice ever given in a chorus.

When Mark E Smith arrived at the gates of heaven St Peter said to his assistant "Before we let him in check the guy's track record".

the rhythm section of this era of The Fall was amazing. All the truly great bands have a great rhythm section, drum and bass. The bed rock.....

He is appreciated and will be sorely missed. Our poet laureate.

This was my first introduction to the band, seeing this video late one night when it came out in 1988. I could only think to myself, "What the hell IS this?" It wasn't until many years later that I realized I actually found the song to be brilliant. RIP, Mark E. Smith.

This video appeared on MTV and I was mesmerized. The Fall is still one if my top two favorite all time bands.

Surely one of the most underrated British music acts, Mark E absolute genius, this song being my favourite

Ive had this cd for about 30 years- this is my first time seeing a Fall video- it is just as I imagined whenever I listened to it. Brilliant. a shame I never got to see The Fall live. RIP

I am so glad i got to see The Fall live a few times, Mark E Smith always fascinated me ever since my teens, a phenomenal writer and poet, he was a genius, will always love the sounds of The Fall.

The low point of the day, hearing Mark E Smith has passed away! Thank God his music will live forever! Goodbye and God Bless Mark!

Brilliant. Brought back many good memories. Thanks for posting. :-)

I've never seen this video look as clear. Thank you so much.

Went to these gigs in the day. The tightest band and dancers ever seen.

RIP , Legend , you set the pace man !

Energetic and breathtaking!

Been listening to this on a loop.. addictive

So weird but strikes a decisive chord.

Love the video. Weirdly groovy!

I so loved it when it came out!

Exceptional, took a while till I got them. Yeaaahhhh!

Absolutely brilliant

Schon beim ersten Ton wieder Gänsehaut, wie schön sind doch die Erinnerungen...

One of the greatest ballets I’ve never seen but lucky to hear it. Sight gone, ears on perennials

“He. Is. NOT. Appreciated!”Very sad news today. The fall was a great band

Love this song

An amazing song and video and that is that as David Bowie said we can all be hero’s just for one day both artists were unique in their work, thankyou,xxx

I will forever love & miss you, Mark E. Smith!

To be serious; this is a great example of how the U.K. produced brilliant underground music equivalent to Velvet Underground. Dare I say that Mark in many ways equalled John Cale and Lou Reed.

This collaboration between contemporary dance and Post Punk - fit the late 80s period of British post-modernity perfectly - rock 'n' roll's answer to Vivian Westwood and Derek Jarman. Thatcher's Britain meets the Restoration in elegant repose.The Neo Baroque soon became an irritating cliche - but this was one of the high-points

So enjoyable!!

This was about the third Fall song/video I saw. It was unlike anything I'd seen or heard. I loved it!

RIP glorious Mark.

highly appreciated

I also lived my youth in the eighties. But strangely enough I don't even know this band - The Fall. They're really cool ♥🎸

This track is different, hypnotic.

Still the 'classic' line-up for me. Such a visceral live experience, I saw them a lot around this time.

Amazing, relentless. RIP

Drummer is concentrating so hard... terrified of making a mistake and being fired mid-song.

R.I.P Mark...

total utter perfection-class

So magnificent!!!

Great arty visuals to go with the typical genius-esque Fall sound.

The Fall - najnajniejsza kapela

Marvellous. It must be danced to.

I worked at their management at this time then later he was their record label for The Infotainment scan, went on tour with them...good times!

I can´t live without..............this Band!

RIP Mark E Smith. You will be missed.

Masterpiece.

I too missed this at the time (there was a lot going on) it is most especially good, why is it awesome. Well if we knew that, it just might have been us

Check the record check the record check the guys track record....he yuh is zuh nuts zuh LOVE IT!

The legend continues

This is about William of Orange, that is mental!

I'm 60 and id like to tell any youngin's out there who are trying to be retro-alt cool, that may have or may on the horizon have tattoos cooler than Hank Rollins- save your gwop..( I said gwop )...and obtain The Fall: I am Curious Orange LP ( I said .. ) in its entirety. When first released, and now- though I rarely play it- there is really nothing more genuine. I'm not a Fall fan, but you need to have this in your collection and play every 2-3 years. Trust me.

just epic!

My first introduction to this fantastic band...really love it since then!

Cool song from back in the day-aaa

Their first era and this era.........you'll never find better in your life.

Another classic.

Nowt like them before and there has been nowt like them since, you are missed Mr. Mark E Smith.

Thanks for the recommendation, Thom Yorke.

My gateway song.

love the fall

Merci

Cracking tune

Like him or loath him Mark E Smith is THE MAN!!!!

Brix looks gorgeous in this vid.

great

Best fucking song ever.

Brett Anderson of Suede's on the Fall and New Big Prinz: The first time I heard the primal, urgent throb of 'New Big Prinz' and him squawking on about what sounded like the 'hip priest' being 'nuts' was a real defining moment for me. This was extraordinary music; marginal, esoteric, surreal even but undeniably extraordinary. I remember it striking me as both wonderful and sad that something this brilliant wasn't loved by more people . There's something fundamentally unique about the Fall. They occupy a space that is completely their own. Their style is so distinctive that to borrow anything too obviously is almost to immediately drift into parody . As they get older they seem to strangely become less compromising and more relevant; the last time i saw them live was at Shepherd's Bush Empire a few years ago around the time of Your Future, Our Clutter. Typically they played only new material and even though i'd never heard a note before and Smith spent most of the gig staggering around or hunched over the guitarist's amp fiddling with the settings, the experience was utterly compelling; the music so simple and urgent and so totally effective but somehow never predictable. I think the influence on Suede was huge. The awful, lazy 'glam' references that sometimes get chucked at us were i suppose born of a desire to emulate the visceral pulse of 'New Big Prinz' and 'Mr Pharmacist' and '2X4' rather than being some horrible, ironic nod to the 70s. Mysteriously though, once these things come out of the blender they never quite taste how you imagined. But that surely is the point.

Danced to this song since 1987! Great song then and now. Today (03.02.2023)I found out that you left too soon Mark E .Smith (05.03.57- 24.01.18) my condolences ... r.i.p. 🙏 😢

wish someone would put up whole cd not youtubes version with holes in it incomeplete...i really need to buy it again..asap...

Rest In Power, Mark E. Smith... R.I.P.

I hope you know that this will go down as your permanent record !!! V.F

One of a kind. R.I.P. Mark.

Don't know alot of the Falls records but this is quality.

#1 song

coolest looking band ever

So odd, so good.

FAB :)

He always had great bands, musicians I hope he appreciated them all Even the ones he fired 😏 Rip mark e smith

un des plus grands albums de the fall

fascinating

Smith's collaboration with a ballet company wouldn't have been high on the list of predictions by most fans and music pundits in the '80s. But, of course, he pulled it off as if it was the most natural thing in the world!

drop out dropped out ...as from heaven. RIP mark E always extrodenary never the same forever THE FALL

I saw em in Detroit with Fugazzi i think can't remember long time ago 🇨🇦💜🇹🇭
