The Fall/Mark E. Smith on Snub TV (1990) 

Legend in the British music scene. Still my favourite band of all time.

Love the track 'Bill is Dead'. Back to an era when Snub TV was one of the few outlets for a kid to hear indie /alternative. Just this and a few glimpses on the chart show every 3rd week... NOT THE BLOODY DANCE CHART...we'd all wince.

This was the first time I came across Mark and The Fall. Snub TV was my fav program back in the day for everything new and music. This made me look up. Crazyness but good. RIP Mark.

Giving away our freedoms? You ain't seen nothin' yet, Mr. Smith! You're missed, big time.

Literally starts right after MES has taken a dump.

Cut Scenes in music video of MES urinating and the exciting --Mark struggles with the hand dryer, can be seen in the deleted scenes portion of the DVD.

Snub and a show called Transmission that was on ITV at 2 am on a Tuesday. I used to get riled when the The Chart Show putting Erasure (or similar) as one of the indie selections just because they were on Mute.

My favourite MES haircut.

'Ah'll just have a line an' a shit, be right owt. Alright?'

He wrote it after his Dad passed away I believe, its connected

Thanks for the upload. I don't suppose you have the 'Revenge' interview that was on the same episode (I think you can them at the start of this interview, just fading out)?

Fuckin' hell MES biggin' up hip-hop! Now THAT is fucking great to hear--and he's right about it been the most literate music around at this time...this woulda been a couple of years into the TRue Golden Era Of Hip-Hop, holy shit the man had good taste...Fear Of A Black Planet by Public Enemy had not long dropped, you had BDP's Edutainment, Ice-T-s Original Gangsta, the Native Tongues and all the Queensbridge dudes....just when you thought MES couldn't surprise you anymore, he fucking goes and does it! I love that quote when he was on The Tube with a load of synth-pop acts and fey indie crap and Bo Diddley was touring the UK (appearing on the show too, I believe) and said to MES: "You were the only god-damned rock 'n roll band on this show tonight".

@BuyKurious have you got the full SnubTV episode this interview came from? I am after the Depth Charge video that is sandwiched between this and The Sundays "Joy" video. Great upload by the way - Telephone Thing is a great track/video.

lol, another dig at Dire Straits

There's more ways to skin an onion than step on a cat's tail: once again, Mark E. Smith goes to prove this demonstrably scientific fact.

2-oo mins, nice to hear M.E.S. talking about the price the British Empire paid for saving the world from fascism and how he feels part of that !!...

fall fall fall

ave it, smithy!

I had a big crush on Marcia Schofield back then.

I would have loved if he was alive and commenting on the covoodoo con

Sweet ass Post . Love the MES ! I love how you can't understand him Now in interviews and he doesn't care , But back here his enuncition was good LOL

Kurtis - not the environment, peoples environment, i.e. social realities

Wow, i was hoping that one day i could surely talk and understand english as a bilingual... No. More as someone who's coming from, dunno somewhere like Edimburgh with a pure north's accent :). But now it appears me that it is strictly impossible for me speaking like this, for one reason: I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT UNDERSTAND WHAT HE SAYS IN THE INTERVIEW because of his kind of slurried speech.

Giving away rights! Could've been talking about Australia

he needs his own translate

not talking about green peace but talking about the environment?

Shit Lou Reed. Bless him.
