What a strange thing to get upset about. Brix, Stephen Hanley, and maybe other Fall survivors have performed as Brix Smith and the Extricated, so how is this any different?

Re: The Fall
Dumber still, does anyone think MES would give a fuck? He'd make caustic comments to the press because that was his schtick, but I can't imagine him being genuinely offended by ex-bandmates doing something without him and playing off the Fall name. He'd cackle and deliver some snark.revbob wrote: ↑02 Feb 2023, 8:40amI ws just reading about this.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑02 Feb 2023, 7:09amhttps://www.nme.com/news/music/mark-e-s ... ve-3391048

Re: The Fall
Yeah, there's nothing wrong with this. It's not like they're calling themselves "Mark E. Smith's The Fall" or something.

Re: The Fall
Something I just discovered. Haven't watched it so I can't speak to its quality. It really is strange that I wouldn't call myself a huge Fall fan—more than most, of course, but far from obsessive in the way Fall fans are—but I miss that miserable fucker. In a bizarre second-hand smoke way, maybe this is akin to all those people who were in the band, were sent packing by him, then came back for another go 'round.

Re: The Fall
House of All, made up of mostly Fall members from most people's favourite period:
I enjoy very much that these people are (a) still making music together and (b) that they're invoking the band's name (there's also been The Fallen and Brix & the Extricated). It both stakes their claim that they were important to the band—it wasn't just MES plus various grannies on bongos—and it'd piss off/amuse MES that they're still trading on his name and rep.
