The Guns of Brixton


When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting on death row

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton

The money feels good
And your life you like it well
But surely your time will come
As in heaven, as in hell

You see, he feels like Ivan
Born under the Brixton sun
His game is called survivin'
At the end of the harder they come

You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun
No need for the Black Maria
Goodbye to the Brixton sun

You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-the guns of Brixton

When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-the guns of Brixton

Shot down on the pavement
Waiting in death row
His game is called survivin'
As in heaven as in hell

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton

"hate and war, there just as bad as wops"..what is a wop

[sketchyjoe]

Wop is a British racial slur for an Italian or Southern European.

Death or Glory

Now every cheap hood strikes a bargain with the
world
And ends up making payments on a sofa or a girl
Love 'n' hate tattooed across the knuckles of his hands
hands that slap his kids around 'cause they don't understand how

death or glory becomes just another story
death or glory becomes just another story

'N' every gimmick hungry yob digging gold from rock 'n' roll
Grabs the mike to tell us he'll die before he's sold
But i believe in this-and it's been tested by research
he who ****s nuns will later join the church

death or glory becomes just another story
death or glory becomes just another story


fear in the down sex
they say lie low
you say ok
don’t wanna play a show
no other thinking
would you get that boy now
playing the blues of kings
sure looks better now

death or glory just another story
death or glory just another story

From every dingy basement on every dingy street
every dragging handclap over every dragging beat
That's just the beat of time-the beat that must go on
If you’ve been trying for years we already heard your song

death or glory becomes just another story
death or glory just another story

gotta launch long way
fight a long time
get to travel over mountains
got to travel over seas
we gonna fight your brother
we gonna fight til you loose
we gonna raise trouble
we gonna raise hell
we gonna fight your brother
we gonna raise hell

death or glory becomes just another story
death or glory becomes just another story

hear me hear me!

death or glory just another story
death or glory becomes just another story


I couldn't decide betwwen DEath or Glory, Complete Control, I'm so Bored with the USA, or Know your Rights. :chug: Happy 100 pages!

[Brain Toad]

Not a pratically fantastic song, but this was the first Clash song I heard that made me change my mind about them and made me like them a lot and made me go out and buy their first album.

Janie Jones

He’s in love with rock ‘n’ roll, woah
He’s in love with getting stoned, woah
He’s in love with Jaine Jones, woah
He don’t like his boring job no…

He’s in love with rock ‘n’ roll, woah
He’s in love with getting stoned, woah
He’s in love with Jaine Jones, woah
He don’t like his boring job no…

An’ he know what he’d got to do
He know he’s gonna have fun with you
Lucky lady!
But when the evening comes when his job is done
He’ll be over in his car for you

He’s in love with rock ‘n’ roll, woah
He’s in love with getting stoned, woah
He’s in love with Jaine Jones, woah
But he don’t like his boring job no…

In the in-tray lots of work
But boss at the firm always thinks he shirks
Be he’s just like everyone he’s got a Ford Cortina
That just won’t run without fuel
Fill her up Jacko!

He’s in love with rock ‘n’ roll, woah
He’s in love with getting stoned, woah
He’s in love with Jaine Jones, woah
But he don’t like his boring job no…

An’ the invoice if don’t quite fit
There’s no payola in his alphabetical file
‘Sept for the government man
This time he’s really gonna show the boss
Gonna really let him let him know exactly how he feels
It’s pretty bad!

He’s in love with rock ‘n’ roll, woah
He’s in love with getting stoned, woah
He’s in love with Jaine Jones, woah
But he don’t like his boring job no…
No
No
No
Let them know
Let them know

[guns_of_brixton]

Its a pretty short song but it has a lot of lyrics.

[CombatRock]

"He who ****s nuns will later join the church"

i love that line


Jaine Jones is my favroite "punk" song by the clash

[guns_of_brixton]

My favorite "punk" songs are Complete Control, Hate and War, and I'm so Bored...

[Coma_Girl]

ohhh i love death or glory, and i also love janie jones...but i love almost every songs by the clash so it's not a big surprise.and the clash is my favorite album by the clash, and probably my favorite album ever as well...woah, as i type this, i remember the first time i listened to it.it was in the bus montreal/st-jean.

[TheNowhereman42]

Apparently Billy Bragg's been going around doing Joe Strummer tribute shows, I'll keep an eye out for a bootleg.

Also, you probably know this, but Joe's guitar is now in the possesion of one of the guys from that communist skinhead/soul band, The Redskins. Who are really good.

[guns_of_brixton]

We should try to get everyone in the punk forum to post their favorite song and lyrics.

The first time I remember hearing anything by the Cladh was when I was about 6 or 7 years old and Should I Stay or Should I Go was on the radio.

[guns_of_brixton]

Also, you probably know this, but Joe's guitar is now in the possesion of one of the guys from that communist skinhead/soul band, The Redskins. Who are really good.

Really? How did that happen? and Why? :confused:

[Brain Toad]

I heard Should I Stay or Should I Go on the classic rock radio I used to listen to (stopped because they started playing crap music), which was pretty awesome. Title kind of fit because at the time me and my dad were outside my school watching a mini riot unfold.

[CombatRock]

first time i heard the clash was i told my mom to by me London Calling, i sat down in my bed listing to it..changed my life

[TheNowhereman42]

Really? How did that happen? and Why? :confused:

Not sure, Billy Bragg said at one of the tribute gigs that it broke his heart when Joe gave his guitar to the guy from the redskins, because Billy really wanted it.

But I heard from alot of people he bought it at an auction.

I hope the first one is true.

[TheNowhereman42]

First time I heard the clash was when I bought The Clash [US Version] after finding London Calling in my garage (at the time I didn't have a record player)

[guns_of_brixton]

I heard Should I Stay or Should I Go on the classic rock radio I used to listen to (stopped because they started playing crap music), which was pretty awesome. Title kind of fit because at the time me and my dad were outside my school watching a mini riot unfold.

THe crappy alternative rock station here played Clampdown once. And at Laser Quest they always play Clampdown when youre in the 'battle zone'.

Not sure, Billy Bragg said at one of the tribute gigs that it broke his heart when Joe gave his guitar to the guy from the redskins, because Billy really wanted it.

I hope this is true too. Its amuch better story than an auction.

[Coma_Girl]

Also, you probably know this, but Joe's guitar is now in the possesion of one of the guys from that communist skinhead/soul band, The Redskins. Who are really good.
NOOOOOOOO!

it breaks my heart...i know they were talking about giving it to one of his fan (a musician) so his guitar could still play great music and change the world or something like that.they took this idea from some other dude who died and his guitar went to another musician...but i didnt think they would do it for real...if i was his daughter, this guitar would have mean so much to me...meeeeh.at least, i hope this guy take care of joe's guitar. :mad:

[IFlogMyMolly16]

Haha I thought you guys meant the football team. (Redskins)

[TheNowhereman42]

I'm sure his guitar will be fine, this guy has all the respect for sentimental things that comes with years of being an iron-fisted communist 80's skinhead who likes soul instead of Oi!

[CombatRock]

the redskin football teams is full of commie skin heads as well

[Coma_Girl]

hmmmm.i'm still not sure it's a good thing.

[IFlogMyMolly16]

the redskin football teams is full of commie skin heads as well

[TheNowhereman42]

I was gonna do that, but it seemed too....obvious

[CombatRock]

yea but the song was stuck in my head.






/ goodnight clash city rockers

[guns_of_brixton]

Hate and War has been stuck in my head for a while, and I almost did it.

[the101er]

can u buy Refuse Alien Order stickers?

[guns_of_brixton]

If you can, I don't know where.

[white_riot]

I am bit late because my internet wouldn't work for a couple of days. I chose this song because it was the first clash song i ever heard and i love the start to it. The film clip is also pretty cool.

"I Fought the Law"

Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won [x2]
I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won [x2]

I left my baby and it feels so bad
Guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the

Robbin' people with a six-gun
I fought the law and the law won [x2]
I lost my girl and I lost my fun
I fought the law and the law won [x2]

She's the best girl that I ever had

idk but andy has a pic of one, just print the pic out and glue it or tape it

[Silvermedalmafia]

I fought the law isn't by the clash, numnuts.

[white_riot]

They do sing it. I know they didn't write it.

[CombatRock]

has everyone posted there songs now?

[Silvermedalmafia]

Just making sure, if anyone cares that song was actually originally played by buddy holly and the crickets.

[CombatRock]

i thought it was also done by some dude with the name John

[Coma_Girl]

these lyrics are good.

cool'n'out-mescaleros

Late news breaking this just in...yeah, cool 'n' out!
God sure baked a lot of fruitcake, baby,
When Adam met the Eden lady,
They're walking the streets
And they're driving cars
They're all over the country
And they're running ours,
They're walking on the wounded who won the war,
What's the matter people,
Was it worth fighting for?
Fix that gauge or you run out of gas,
A cool operator can make it last,
Say from here to Indiana and across Illinois,
We're rockin the girls and a-boppin' on the boys,
And I spot a little bitty on a little bam bam,
That pill poppers hopping on a city bound tram...
The stars go in, and the stars go out,
And punk rock what is's all about,
And even when you're just-a-chillin' out...
You're wondering
W-w-w-w-w- what's it all about?..
Cool 'n' out.
At the G7 summit, well we've got some 25,
And we're putting it into the gin supply,
We want a satellite crashing outta the skies,
And a firework display by ballistic missiles,
I got a sneeky feeling
That the poker's getting hot
Cos twice times bitten..
And it's a third time shot.
Oh, the stars go in, and the stars go out,
And punk rock what it's all about,
An' even when you're just-a-chillin' out...
You're wondering...
What's it all about?
Cool 'n' out...
What's it all about?
Cool 'n' out.

[Forest_Fire]

I really need to buy a mescaleros cd

[Coma_Girl]

i can't believe you guys can find the strenght to wake up when you dont even own a mescaleros cd.tssss

[TheNowhereman42]

Seriusly

[metty16]

I really need to buy a mescaleros cd

123. Which one do you guys recommend?

[TheNowhereman42]

Streetcore

[CombatRock]

i can't believe you guys can find the strenght to wake up when you dont even own a mescaleros cd.tssss

give me yours i dont have money to buy one!

[white_riot]

I've got Streetcore and it is pretty good. People usually say thats the best one.

[Brain Toad]

Cash and Strummer's version of Redemention Song is very good, better than the orginal in my mind.

[CombatRock]

yea..i need to show my dad that song. he loves Cash but hates Joe and the Clash, maybe if i show him the song he will respect Joe

[Brain Toad]

It fits Joe better than Cash, since its a more revolutinary type song, he adds a lot to Cash's voice when they sing together.

[Coma_Girl]

yea..i need to show my dad that song. he loves Cash but hates Joe and the Clash, maybe if i show him the song he will respect Joe
that's how my dad fell in love with the mescaleros.he used to hate joe too

[Coma_Girl]

Streetcore
123

all their albums are good and different, but i think streetcore is my favorite cause get down moses and long shadow are on this one.and long shadow is the first mescaleros song i listened to.

[Coma_Girl]

I've got Streetcore and it is pretty good. People usually say thats the best one.
people usually think that global is better.or maybe just the people i know...my friends think streetcore is too 'country', they just dont know what they're talking about.it doesnt sound country to me.

[sketchyjoe]

It fits Joe better than Cash, since its a more revolutinary type song, he adds a lot to Cash's voice when they sing together.
I prefer Joe and Johnny's version because it's just means so much more now they're both dead. It's like these two legends coming together with a message from the grave. And as much as I like Strummer, his voice isn't the strongest but it works well complementing Cash's.

[CombatRock]

it would have been amazing if it Joe Bob and Cash did it.

[Coma_Girl]

i really dont like bob marley's version

[Forest_Fire]

Oh... I was about to ask who Joe Bob was...


/feels stupid

[Brain Toad]

I prefer Joe and Johnny's version because it's just means so much more now they're both dead. It's like these two legends coming together with a message from the grave. And as much as I like Strummer, his voice isn't the strongest but it works well complementing Cash's.

That's what I thought too. It works extreamly well. I don't like Marley's that much, since I heard Joe and Cash first.

[Coma_Girl]

it sad that cash didnt want to record road to rock'n'roll (on rock art).his voice would have sound amazing on this song.

[TheNowhereman42]

people usually think that global is better.or maybe just the people i know...my friends think streetcore is too 'country', they just dont know what they're talking about.it doesnt sound country to me.

They say that soley because of long shadow, which is a great song anyway

[Coma_Girl]

its a great song and the first i ever heard by the mescaleros.it's a sad song though, cause joe died soon after he wrote it.streetcore sound a lot like he knew he would die.it freaks me out.

somewhere in my soul...there's always rock'n'roll...

[TheNowhereman42]

Yeah I've thought about that, streetcore really sounds like he knew he was dieing, what with Ramshackle Day Parade, Long Shadow, Redemtion Song, and Silver and Gold.

Coma Girl was the first song I heard

[Forest_Fire]

I'll probably get Streetcore for my birthday. It's fairly soft too, right? My parents might even like it...

[TheNowhereman42]

I've only played Get Down Moses for one person who didn't like it, but he's an ICP fag

[Coma_Girl]

I'll probably get Streetcore for my birthday. It's fairly soft too, right? My parents might even like it...
probably.my dad liked it so much, he wanted a copy



someone didnt like get down moses :eek:

[Forest_Fire]

I'm listening to Get Down Moses now.







Holy ****.

[Coma_Girl]

Coma Girl was the first song I heard
it's a good song to begin the album with.the voice is so clear at the beggining of the song...hmm...i love this song (dhu)

[TheNowhereman42]

yeah, i love that guitar riff it starts off whith, like sortof 80's rock-ish, and then it breaks down into the reggae

[Coma_Girl]

have you seen the video for johnny appleseed?
awesome.

[TheNowhereman42]

no, i'll look into it

Oh, you're looking for Jimmy Jazz

Sattamassagana for Jimmy Dread

Maybe put it down somewhere over the other side
See it gets to Jimmy Jazz (See)

So tell me now
Police come in they said
Now, Where's Jimmy Jazz?
I said, hmm he was here but uh,
He said he went out
Who is it they're looking for?
Jimmy Jazz, Jazz, Jazz, Jazz eh

Sattamassagana for Jimmy Dread
Cut off his ears and they'll chop off his head
Oh you're looking for
Jimmy Jazz, Jazz...

What a relief!
I feel like a soldier,
But I look like a thief!

Don't you bother me, not anymore
I can't take this tale, oh, no more
It's all around, Jimmy Jazz

J-a-zee zee J-a-zed zed
J-a-zed zed Jimmy Jazz

It also stinks that he died like 2 or 3 months befor the Clash were inducted into the rock 'n roll hall of fame.

[CombatRock]

Yer dern tootin'!

you made the best thread ever :thumb:

its nice to see that more than just 4 people are postin in the thread now

[white_riot]

Coma Girl was the first Meskies Song i heard to. There is this show on this channel on pay t.v which shows music with skateboarding and stuff like that and i looked to see what bands they were going to play and it had Joe and the Meskies and it was coma girl.

[Coma_Girl]

It also stinks that he died like 2 or 3 months befor the Clash were inducted into the rock 'n roll hall of fame.
i think it may be a good thing though...i'm sure they would have been great but it could have give them the idea to make a tour.when joe broke his record deal with sony, the condition was that if the clash ever reformed, sony was in control of the band again.

[Coma_Girl]

the intro for get down moses rocks!



I also love Tony Adams it is a awesome song :chug:
i lost my friends at the deportee station, i'll take immigration to any nation...

i'm looking for a phone, and i cant find one...

i love these lines :D

[guns_of_brixton]

The first Meskies song I heard was Get Down Moses, and its one of my favorites :thumb:. Steve, you should post your favorite song and lyrics.

[CombatRock]

i was watching this thing about the ramones on tv. and Johnny started talking about the Clash and he said he said they reminded of the Ramones only better then he started talkinga bout how the UK bands ripped of the Ramones. it was cool thought it had interviews with Joe and Paul.

[white_riot]

in that Story of the Ramones movie Johnny said that The Clash were the only band that was as good as them even better. He didn't like the Sex Pistols very much.

[Coma_Girl]

The Clash were the only band that was as good as them even better
pffff.the clash were about 10000x better.johnny was a really modest person, huh

[guns_of_brixton]

Johhny was the crazy Ramone, right? Either way the Clash were better.

sorry, off topic

[User Name]

no, i think dee dee was. johnny was the republcan ramone

[Brain Toad]

Dee Dee = crazy druggie male hooker
Johnny = Republican

filling in for andy,

THIS IS THE CLASH POLICE, STAY ON TOPIC BEFORE I ARREST YOU



im just as good as a clash whore as andy ;)

[guns_of_brixton]

Hmmm. Apparently I don't know my Ramones. But I know plenty about the Clash :D.

[CombatRock]

clash > ramones, thats why theres a clash page with a 105 pages!

lets discuss the clash not ramones now

[guns_of_brixton]

I like the Armagideon Time avatar. You've heard the Clash's cover, right?

[CombatRock]

yea, i dont like it was much as Willies though.

i cant decide what avatar i like the Armagideon one or the Joe one.

[Forest_Fire]

I haven't heard either version... :(



I've been humming Get Down Moses all day. I need a Mescaleros cd right now.

Okay then. I'll see if I can find it somewhere.

dustin, why dont you get that thing you posted, they say it ships world wide.

[sketchyjoe]

I've heard it

The Clash version > the Junior Murvin version

[Forest_Fire]

dustin, why dont you get that thing you posted, they say it ships world wide.

It's very tempting, but I don't have a spare $22 right now. I have about $20 total, and I'm saving that for shows throughout may, becuase right now I plan to go to 6 in one month, plus one this friday, so I have to save my money.

It would make a nice birthday present though... hmmm... i guess I could email the link to my aunt... hmmm...

That's a big 123, good buddy.


Murvins version is pretty subpar to all the hype Joe gave it.


And don't think I don't see you fools talking about the Ramones here.


If you want a Ramones thread, just ask. :)

[Coma_Girl]

the only thing the clash, the ramones and junior murvin have in common is

"they're going through a thigh wind..."

[guns_of_brixton]

the only thing the clash, the ramones and junior murvin have in common is

"they're going through a thigh wind..."

Actually I think Joe added in "they're goin' through a tight wind" as a tribute to the Ramones.

I wish I had soulseek so I could hear the other version :upset:.

I got a girl interested in the Clash when she found out they where the ones who did Rock the Casbah.

[Coma_Girl]

i got my teacher into the mescaleros.whoo

[Coma_Girl]

Actually I think Joe added in "they're goin' through a tight wind" as a tribute to the Ramones.
i know

[guns_of_brixton]

Hardly anyone likes them alot at my school.

[CombatRock]

i still need to type that article for sean about joe hitting the kid over the head with a tele. i will do it one of these days.

[guns_of_brixton]

i know

Ohh ok. I think you were the one who told me that.

[Coma_Girl]

i wanna read it too.
people at my school dont really like the clash...they dont know who they are.Except for 2 or 3 teachers...and my friends think they suck cause I always talk about them and I have this reputation of being the girl who like a lot of ****ty bands. :(

[guns_of_brixton]

Take your time :).

[CombatRock]

People who don't like the Clash have probably never heard of them. They did so many music styles, so there's probably something that most people would like.

[CombatRock]

yea, most people i know have heard of the clash, but the only song they know by them is "should i stay or should i go".

[guns_of_brixton]

Yea, cool song but definetly not their best.

[CombatRock]

its one of my least favroite songs.

[guns_of_brixton]

I like the really messed up Spanish.

"Me tienes que decir!"

[CombatRock]

im in spanish right now and i have no clue what there trying to say right there.

[guns_of_brixton]

I think they're trying to say "that is what I have to say" but it comes out as "Me have to say that!" :lol:

[CombatRock]

i would if i wasnt lazy translate what its suppose to be but it would make me think, and i dont feel like thinking.

[Coma_Girl]

i said it before and i'll say it again: they should have tried french!

i don't know what's my least favorite song...maybe lovers rock

[CombatRock]

psssh. french, who speaks that language ;)

[white_riot]

i don't know what's my least favorite song...maybe lovers rock

Lovers Rock isn't that bad.

[SactoUnited]

Hitsville UK is def my least favorite song by them.

[White Riot!]

i said it before and i'll say it again: they should have tried french!

i don't know what's my least favorite song...maybe lovers rock



Whats wrong with lovers rock?


cant handle the lyrics can you? :smash:

[guns_of_brixton]

Hitsville UK is def my least favorite song by them.

123

Well I don't know if its my least favorite, but I don't like it very much.

[CombatRock]

Lovers Rocks is my least fav.

[guns_of_brixton]

I don't like Clash City Rockers that much.

[CombatRock]

neither do it, its a boring song i think.

[guns_of_brixton]

Yea, its kind of boring. But it mentions Gary Glitter :naughty:.

[SantaDuJuan]

Lovers Rocks is my least fav.


Lover's Rock is my favorite Clash song.

[CombatRock]

Yea, its kind of boring. But it mentions Gary Glitter :naughty:.


Who is Gary Glitter?

[guns_of_brixton]

A British pop star who was accused of having child pornography on his computer, but that was way after Clash City Rockers was written.

[Forest_Fire]

I like clash city rockers. Not one of my favourites, but it's defintley good

[Coma_Girl]

clash city rocker is not a bad song...lovers rock is just meh...and i don't like the lyrics.right now i'm in love with koka kola

[Forest_Fire]

that was my first favourite clash song

[guns_of_brixton]

I like the guitar and drums of Lover's Rock.

[Jessizzle]

Yesterday i fell asleep listening to the clash, and then i dreamed about the clash, but all i remember is hearing them play. Man i hate falling asleep to music.

[Coma_Girl]

there's something strange about joe strummer's music.If I fall asleep listening to the clash or the mescaleros, i dream about them.I once had a really strange dream where joe was my dad and we went camping, and another one a week ago where i was sitting in a restaurant with joe and mick, and joe said something about me going to a party with them, and when we got there, it was billie joe armstrong house and it was all destroyed and billie joe daughter was there too.

[guns_of_brixton]

I have occaisonal Clash dreams, usually if I fall asleep listening to them. But they've never involved Mick. Once I was in the Clash instead of Mick, and once the Clash were a 3 person band with out Mick. :confused:

[Jessizzle]

Brainwashing!

[Coma_Girl]

do you hate mick?

[guns_of_brixton]

do you hate mick?

No, not at all.

[CombatRock]

i never have dreams about the clash :(

[guns_of_brixton]

i never have dreams about the clash :(

I've only had 2, so its ok.

And I like your avatar. :thumb:

[xxGumbyxx]

I like the really messed up Spanish.

"Me tienes que decir!"

translation = you have to tell me

p.s. I think I am officially the Clash master. I got every single question right on those quizzes except for one in the first quiz. Not to toot my own horn or anything :rolleyes:

[guns_of_brixton]

Cool, so now I'm in 2nd place for the quizzes. You should post here more often instead of just reading through the thread.

Aww thanks, you're such an assett to Music Gypsy (http://www.musicgypsy.com/).

HAHA I rule. Okay enough spam. Joe Strummer was an amazing man, in both bands.

I agree, Joe was my favorite songwriter of all time.

[CombatRock]

Evan, you need to post in this thread more!

[xxGumbyxx]

Does anyone know where I can get that version of Long Time Jerk that's on Hell W10.
It's different from the one on Super Black Market Clash.

[CombatRock]

i never heard Long Time Jerk. what song is the song they play on the beginning of Essential Clash, you know the one thats at the menu page.

[guns_of_brixton]

There's a different version of Cool Confusion in Hell W10, and its alot better.

[SlappedByTheClash]

Has anyone actually heard the 101er's?


They're teh sex.

[Coma_Girl]

i have heard 2 or 3 songs but it didnt change my life


if you guys want eartquake weather, i have it on slsk

[guns_of_brixton]

Has anyone actually heard the 101er's?


They're teh sex.

No, besides a 15 second clip in Westway. Andy, is the original Jail Guitar Doors on the 101ers album that you have? Because I'm pretty sure that was originally a 101ers song.

[Coma_Girl]

i don't have any 101ers album.
earthquake weather is joe's solo stuff after the clash

edit: 1500!

[guns_of_brixton]

Oh, ok. I wish I had slsk :upset:.

[SlappedByTheClash]

I can't beleive you mofos.


I have no nominations for punk of the month.


The 101er's didn't have near as much an impact as the Clash, but they still rocked.

[Coma_Girl]

it's not a big surprise the 101ers rocked.Joe was in the band.

we thought you were dead, so we didnt vote for you...ohh remember when i won the noob of the month and you didnt? :lol:

[Forest_Fire]

And when I won n00b of the month and you didn't? :lol:


I have no nominations either... it's okay.




I have never heard the 101er's. I'll see if they're on allmusic...

[Coma_Girl]

dustin is back!<3

[Forest_Fire]

And I think I'm getting Streetcore when my parent's get home

[Coma_Girl]

it's long in clash time. :lol:

streetcore is so great, it's dangerous to listen to it.

[Forest_Fire]

I've found some videos of a mescaleros concert on april 16, 2002. Joe doesn't look too well in most of them

http://punkcast.com/140/index.html

Edit:

and some live mp3s

[SlappedByTheClash]

Anti-Prefix won it before me too!


How crap...

[guns_of_brixton]

But you really didn't post at all that month... even though you deserved it the moth before but didn't get it.

Dustin, I'll check out those live mp3s.

[Forest_Fire]

New Avatar :cool:


I think I'll go back to to my old one soon, though. Unless I get used to this one

[guns_of_brixton]

Nice :cool: But its weird to look at one of your posts and not se Peter next to it ;).

The avatar I have now is my original one from when I first joined.

[white_riot]

I've heard one song by the 101ers and it was ok.

[Coma_Girl]

****, this video of get down moses is...i don't know...it's not the same lyrics.It's lame...Joe looks fat, old and weird...

I was watching the official video for johnny appleseed, and there's one hot guy ( and probably kinda old) in the meskies...but if he's on stage on those videos, I haven't seen him.

[SlappedByTheClash]

New Avatar :cool:

Thats why you never see any musicians live who you liked when they were young.

I hope C'ock Sparrer are still awesome despite now being old, bald, and fat.

[Coma_Girl]

yeah but i thought Joe was different...you know...cause he's Joe...and it's not like "i liked him when he was young" cause for me The Mescaleros pretty much = The Clash.

[TheNowhereman42]

ah true true

but all british people get fat when they get old

[SantaDuJuan]

ah true true

but all british people get fat when they get old


Wrong, they get bad teeth.

[Coma_Girl]

yeah Joe used to have really bad teeth...but then he became "the plastic teeth of punk rock" as he said himself.

[SlappedByTheClash]

Duane Peters has fake teeth, and so does this kid I know.


Quick, somebody punch me out so I can get plastic planted in my mouth.


Then I'll be cool.

[Coma_Girl]

i can't decide if it would make you cool or a complete moron. :rolleyes:

[SlappedByTheClash]

If you get them on purpose(IE gold fronts)

You're an idiot.

If you lose teeth because you're hXc, well, I guess you'd have an excuse.

[Coma_Girl]

yeah, but i understand why the first thing joe did when he got money was to get his teeth fixed.and he was hxc, so he had an excuse.and he also had an excuse for being weird and fat.

[guns_of_brixton]

Mick has bad teeth too.

[Coma_Girl]

but mick also looked like a dog.

[SlappedByTheClash]

yeah, but i understand why the first thing joe did when he got money was to get his teeth fixed.and he was hxc, so he had an excuse.and he also had an excuse for being weird and fat.

Yeah, he was old.


Old people get fat and look weird.


Except for Moses. Dude was like 900 and had the body of a 14 year old, because he sweated to the oldies.


Hence the song Get Down Moses.

You see, everything fits together. :thumb:

[Coma_Girl]

if i knew what moses means, i guess it would make sense...hmm

[SlappedByTheClash]

Moses?


Led the Jewsephs out of Egypt?


Are you religious at all? Or even into ancient history?

[Coma_Girl]

ohhh, i see...Moise...Whoa..I dunno...I didn't expect that, it doesnt sound like moses at all in french.Hmm...I'm not really religious at all anyway

[SlappedByTheClash]

You at least believe in some god, right?


I mean, I'm not a faithful practitioner or anything, but I do believe.


You need some sort of spiritual tap in, or you're f'ucked.

[Coma_Girl]

I believe in my own God...It's not a religion...I just believe that each person has his own God, and at the end, we all have the same God, but in fact, God just doesnt exist...It sounds confusing, but I'm just not good enough in english to use the word I'd use in french.

[Forest_Fire]

This is not the thread for this you guys. Take it somewhere else.



I just ordered Streetcore :D

[Coma_Girl]

pffff.i'm the authority here...i'm above the rules. :cool: (I learned that from my uncle...he's a cop)

:D Streetcore...so good.rammmmmshackle dayyyy paraaade.

[SlappedByTheClash]

This is not the thread for this you guys. Take it somewhere else.



I just ordered Streetcore :D

Right, this is for Joe worship.


Church is in session, fools.


You mofos get to Amen-ing.:smoke:

[Coma_Girl]

I know we've talked about it before...but was Joe into some kind of religion?In an interview, someone ask him where he thinks joey ramone is now, he says: in heaven.So the interviewer ask him if he believes in heaven and he says :not for me, but for joey, sure

[SlappedByTheClash]

I'm sure he was into it in some shape or form, but it's pretty hard to find the right religion nowadays.

[Coma_Girl]

I don't know...to me religion represents a bad form of authority.He probably believed in something cause it's impossible to believe in nothing.Maybe he just believed in truth and justice. :cool:

But whatever he believed in, I'm sure he went straight to some kind of heaven.

[SlappedByTheClash]

You guys heard about Viva Joe Strummer yet?


And also, Joe's widow is releasing unheard 101'ers recordings later this month.


It sucks how much people are appreciated only after they're dead.

[Coma_Girl]

Joe was appreciated a lot when he was alive too.

and what is that viva joe strummer thing?

[SlappedByTheClash]

Joe was appreciated a lot when he was alive too.

and what is that viva joe strummer thing?

[guns_of_brixton]

[Coma_Girl]

i guess i could take a pic right now, but i just dont feel like walking to my bedroom...later.

[guns_of_brixton]

I was thinking that I really need another Clash shirt. Now I'm on a journey to look for one.

[Coma_Girl]

then send your old one to me...i'm sure i can sew it, so it will fit me.if you want, i can make you one with paint and a shirt :p

You should make one.

[CombatRock]

[white_riot]

I made a clash shirt a couple of months ago. It looks ok.

[guns_of_brixton]

then send your old one to me...i'm sure i can sew it, so it will fit me.if you want, i can make you one with paint and a shirt :p

I would trade my shirt for a painted shirt, but if I knew how to sew I would just sew mine.

[white_riot]

This thread is starting to get slow. Usually when i come on it's at the top but lately it's at the bottom.

[Forest_Fire]

Fewer people are posting in it and less frequently. I'm not getting on MX as much either. It's warmer out now, expect less people on here.



If I had the artistic or creative skills, I would make a Mescaleros shirt or clash shirt. But I don't, so I won't
