Mark E Smith at Glastonbury

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Possibly my favourite bit of telly ever :notworthy:
MES takes to festival headlining like its a Fall gig in working man's club, and no matter what your feelings on Glastonbury, The Fall, Gorillaz, the part where the whole song threatens to fall apart in the middle and Damon rises to yell "What the f**k are you doing" at the drummer (Cass from Senseless Things for those that care about that kind of thing!) is absolutely priceless - I'm not sure I've ever seen such blind panic on a stage before and the whole band do brilliant to pull it back together.

As for Mick Jones and Paul Simonen dressing up as sailors ... :cry:

Aye, the press hyped them up in 1992 and they failed to deliver (or not enough people bought their records)

I always thought Jolt had the potential to become something rather good, but it was all rather short lived.
