Erithacus Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Ah, such a loss. Along with Rod Argent and Russ Ballard, he played some of the great rock and blues sounds of the early 70s in Argent. Talented musician and had a hand in many top bands along the way.

BanburyRed Posted January 21, 2018 Report Share Posted January 21, 2018 Not famous but the little 8yr old girl who has been found stabbed to death in Brownhills. What a tragic waste of a life. As a father with a 4yr old daughter, this has struck a chord with me today and i can't ever imagine what set of circumstances has led to this tragedy. RIP little one.

Erithacus Posted January 22, 2018 Report Share Posted January 22, 2018 Perhaps under-rated as a player but better known for his commentaries and insight. A Blackpool man through and through - the new stand at that tortured club is named in his honour. Another of the Boys of '66 gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One Team In Keynsham Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Now, that is very sad news re Mark E Smith. Saw The Fall various times through the 80s and 90s. At times somewhat impenetrable, but a genuine legend and innovator. Possibly my favourite track: And means I always think of The Fall when going up the A56.

LondonBristolian Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Sheesh. Mark E Smith has really hit me. I wasn't a massive Fall fan but various friends and people I've played in bands with are/were. I knew he wasn't well, and I'd heard talk things were more serious than were being let on but I'm stunned by it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was listening to BBC R6 when it was announced and it was Mark Riley presenting. Really difficult listening. Never got to see The Fall sadly but was always intrigued by their music and you've got to be pretty shit hot to be John Peels favourite band.

They didn't get on too well at the end either by the sounds of it having fallen out when he got kicked out and then made up and then subsequently fell out again. Really tough listen. Fair play to him for getting through it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted January 24, 2018 Report Share Posted January 24, 2018 Mark E Smith. No please no. I`m gutted by this. A man who stuck by his principles no matter what shit was being thrown his way. I honestly thought he`d be like Shane MacGowan and live forever. Radmac is going to be a very sombre affair tomorrow afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have spent so many hours of my life playing endless Fall albums, usually accompanied by some confused and uncomprehending friend, girlfriend or wife asking "what is this shit you're listening to??"

nebristolred Posted January 25, 2018 Report Share Posted January 25, 2018 Mark E Smith is such a weird one; people have either never heard of him, or realise just what a legend he is/was for music, there's almost no in-between. Dolores and now this, 2018 isn't getting off to a good start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal favourite is when he happened to see a picture of the latest skinny-jeaned, floppy-haired boy band; `******* hell, I hope we never have another war` Saw a cracker from Mat Osman of Suede: I have a Mark E Smith story actually. Back in the day Suede got asked to support The Fall on a couple of dates. To a man we were massive fans and VERY excited to be asked. Everyone told us he could be rough on support bands but he was great. Lots of time to soundcheck. He was friendly, helpful, told us to come straight to him with any problem. The shows were great, his crowd were great, The Fall were great. On our way home in the van we were listening to Richard Skinner and he had an interview with Mark. We listened in intently. Especially when Skinner asked, "Do you like any of the new bands who are calling you an influence." Mark said "Like who?" Skinner asked "Well, like Suede." There was a perfectly timed beat. "Never heard of them." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one would have watched every single show although I doubt he would have lasted much past the first one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
