A true giant of northern English music died today.
Marc Riley, who was his guitarist for the early years, playing a tribute to him right now on BBC 6 Music.
What a grumpy bastard genius - our very own Captain Beefheart.
The Fall were one hell of a band - must have seen them 20 times. Sometimes they played for hours, sometimes for 10 minutes before storming off.
Mark E Smith is gone ....

Just about my favourite band of all time. My old band supported the fall once. I'd just got back from a Dam trip the day he died. I'm now one of 3 mes's in a fall covers band. Yikes! RIP Hip Priest

Currently listening to Bend Sinister, the album tour was one of their best.
MESmith is sadly missed.

Though I wasn't a big fan of him but a few days ago someone shared his song Totally Wired and really like lyrics and music. Yeah! Mark E Smith was also a unique vocalist.
