These things already exist! The MES filter turns everday speech into MES talk. And a synthesised MES voice has been created and used on the Timekode single "Cheap Space Chant".

All true!

Well, he seems to do alright doesn't he?! Even now he's getting a bit old and craggy. Must be the groupie mentality thing for singers... do you find that Dave? ;)

one is blonde, n one is blonde, n one is not blonde ....

hardly used...

just kiddin..ha ha


joke....


er............... :unsure:

they come fully fall trained of course :rolleyes:

that would be cute...our craig is skinny snotty nosed brat perfect for mes.....our anita would have to play all the complicated bits cos she's dead clever....n paula ....we'll stick her on keyboards, she can do a poulou

we had better keep the fall in good health ...mark not gettin so drunk is good...craig n ste h will be ok ...they aint under pressure so they will be ok....hurry up cloning scientists though!!! all this pig shit is no good!!

yeah he's a genius...and u sound kinda smitten by him being such a bastard ;) :P .....


ps. how do u become such a bastard?

i believe yer ...cos if i was a girl...i wouldn't fancy him either...he will probably [not prolly if YER dont mind] read this n ...................................................agree..............such is his contrary mentality

yes i think u have hit on sth there conway [in fact u have got to feel sorry for mark really] ...i too was pestered constantly by dozens of attractive women at every gig..in the end u just give in to temptation :rolleyes: ...or did i dream that :huh: :( ?

i think MES has got a kind of twisted, insightful perception into things. like if you went out with him or whatever, imagine what he would be thinking about it !! he would probably (probabobabably) be thinking of a nasty song about it the whole time.

maybe I, Ludicrous will write a song called 'My sister went out with mark e smith ' along these lines....to add to their current one ...'I've never been hit by mark e smith'...

In my experience, MES is a very pleasant chap to go for a drink with. It's just the creativity department he's lacking in. Yeah sure, "how I wrote Elastic Man" is the best single ever made, but what has he done since?

yeah! n dead slow bringin out new cds too!


my 3 kids for a cotc today! [notice how i got us so effortlessly back on topic] :rolleyes:

whatever it was...open all hours is to blame

this brings up an important topic. Since M.E.S has never reproduced, the long term future of the Fall could be in peril.
Many positions in the band can obviously be refilled an infinite number of times, but one persons replacement will be a little more tricky.
Unless one of Dave's children can be adequately trained in the many complicated nuances of a M.E.S performance, we will have to take drastic action to ensure that the Fall continues for hundreds or thousands of years to come.
The only way we can make the world a livable place for future generations is to CLONE MARK E. SMITH.
We will need to do some fundraising or embezzlement, but this crowd shouldn't have a problem with that.
Then all we will need is some appropriate genetic material from his body that contains his DNA codes.

If we sucseed in producing an infant M.E.S in the next few years, it should be the correct age for 1977 era Fall performance by the time Mark#1 retires.

Eventually the cycle will have to repeat itself.

the Bromwich children can then fill the musician roles as Dave sees fit.
c'mon, I know there has to be some Fall Fan Scientists on here :ph43r:

why not train them up as a mini Fall tribute band ?

rofl @ this.

another alternative might be to create an AI version. you could scan in all of the existing lyrics so the computer would randomly generate MES-style writing. then get a voice sample which would teach it to shriek at the appropriate intervals. come to think of it, we could get haley joel osmett, implant the computer into his brain, then feed him amphetamines.

no WAY. thats evil. this adds fuel to my theory tho, that although MES is an astounding artist of brilliant intellect etc etc, he just isnt a nice person to be around ? the constant outpouring of scorn and bile which makes his writing and singing so great, must surely mean he`s like a nightmare to be around. beatings and occasionally being thrown up on notwithstanding. he seems like a very complex, critical person.

this should probly be a separate thread, but do any of you guys think he`s actually a genius, like picasso or something ? i dunno what i think really.

smitten ? lol. no.

yeh, i reckon its the groupie thing too. also he must have alot of charisma or something like that. i dont personally think he`s attractive tho. for me the Fall are sort of like, how would you say... like the opposite of all that bizness. you know like some films you can watch them and you know nothing cheesy, romantic or embarrasing is going to happen. its just a cool film. they are like that i think. it kind of makes it more personal in a way. like my bf is into black metal and stuff. he doesnt like the Fall. i think MES has got a kind of twisted, insightful perception into things. like if you went out with him or whatever, imagine what he would be thinking about it !! he would probably (probabobabably) be thinking of a nasty song about it the whole time.

if i ever met him, i would just barf out of nervousness. or be too intimidated to speak. right i have got a good system going now. 1. do stuff. 2. drink tea, read this. 3. repeat steps 1-3.

richard has left the building

yeah, but I see from the time of your post that they get you up far too early for a Sunday morning...no, thanks

:huh:

I was thinking about this the other day, actually. We could even clone some sort of hideous replica of Craig Scanlon and Steve Hanley as one person to keep the early fans interested - 'Shanlon'. Or something.

how do you know he's not a nice person to be around
when I've seen him he was ok
he's like everybody else really but in a good band
he has good days and bad days
so fucking what

he's not friendly ...he admits that much...he has a sense of humour....but it tends to be hard n hurtful a lot of time...it has its strengths and weaknesses

ah ha. the data available seems to suggest that he`s

- violent
- critical
- addicted to speed
- very perceptive
- callous
- drunk alot
- a workaholic
- sacks people frequently

i dont know many people like this so i couldnt tell you if they are pleasant to be around or not. my guess would veer towards not.

:huh:

It's, like, some sort of code they used to talk in the olden days. Damn.

:lol: classic.

nb: this forum is riddled with stuff i wrote b4 i was on anti psychotics.

altho the stuff i wrote in this thread makes sense, i remember times when i was so angry and so hurt and would type furiously away...

part of me wonders if i have given away half my brain to gain half a heart :(

or something.
