The Official Clash & Joe Strummer Thread

[guns_of_brixton]

Well it is still on the first page, right?

Anyways I wanna find out more about Viva Joe Strummer.

[SlappedByTheClash]

Anyone hear Social D's cover of Death Or Glory?


Oh, man, it's good.


And seeing as I created the thread, I'll police any crap in case of absences from the ho's here.


P.S. check out Strummersite for info on 101'ers material/Viva Joe Strummer.



You're welcome.

[CombatRock]

i never heard Death or Glory by Social Distorition. has anyone heard Clampdown by Rage Against the Machine?

[IrishPunk07]

no, good song?

[CombatRock]

Clampdown you have never heard that song before!?

[guns_of_brixton]

Anyone hear Social D's cover of Death Or Glory?


Oh, man, it's good.


And seeing as I created the thread, I'll police any crap in case of absences from the ho's here.


P.S. check out Strummersite for info on 101'ers material/Viva Joe Strummer.



You're welcome.

If you could somehow hook me up with an mp3 to the Social Distortion cover, I would give you imaginary rep and butt secks.

[SantaDuJuan]

Sigh, butt secks. The old n3rd joke.


I was listening to t3h Clash today in the car on my way home from Tai Chi.
My Tai Chi instructor likes them.
C00l m@n I must say.

[CombatRock]

whats Tai Chi?

[Silvermedalmafia]

a martial art, like karate and jiu jitsu and all that jazz.

[White Riot!]

I shall look for the rage against the machine cover and post my thoughts about it

[SlappedByTheClash]

If you could somehow hook me up with an mp3 to the Social Distortion cover, I would give you imaginary rep and butt secks.

If I had an mp3, it'd already be making it's way around the thread.



But alas, I've only heard it on the radio.


It's on the Lords Of Dogtown soundtrack coming soon, so maybe check that out sometime. Until then, just look around for it, because someone will have it eventually.

[Forest_Fire]

I had to stay home today becuase I was sick, but I slept for a while and then I learned 2 and a 1/2 clash basslines. Oh yes. I rule.

[CombatRock]

which bass lines?



WhiteRiot!, did you listen to RATM version of Clampdown yet?

[Forest_Fire]

Jimmy Jazz, White Man, and 1/2 of Rudie Can't Fail



I can't beleive I never bothered to learn those before

[Coma_Girl]

I'm back from my Green Day (yes, i like them enough to do that) road trip...I met the guys after the show...no, it's a lie.I didn't really met them cause there were ****ing fences and curtains cause the security didnt wanted us to see them walking to their buses...but me and my friends started taking off the curtains (its complicated to do), and everyone else did the same...and when Tre walked to his bus, he helped us to take them off...and I talked to him through the fence, and it went kinda like that:

-Hey, great show...but why don't you tell the security to take off these ****ing fences...we won't kill you, people are here to talk to you and we've been waiting for 2 hours.

- Well, I can't do anything about it

-I'm sure you can, they'll listen to you.It's YOUR staff.It's not how it's supposed to be between a band and their fans.Bands like The Clash tried to fought against that all their lives.Joe Strummer rolls in his grave. :angry:

-(...)Shut up.Shut up.

-Yeah sure. (**dissapointed eyes to make him feel bad.I failed miserably**

We drove all the way to the show,almost died in a car crash, we were in the back so we didnt see most of the show, but we were happy anyway...and he's a complete *******.meh.I was talking about it with a guy, and we came to the conclusion that no matter how much green day have been inspired by the clash, they kinda suck anyway.Joe would have kicked their ***

And I forced my friends to listen to the clash on our way there and they liked it.

[Flagjacket]

Wow. It took you an entire road trip and a concert to figure out that the Clash pwn Green Day? I like Green Day, but I've always known that the Clash > them.

[Coma_Girl]

:rolleyes: i knew it before.

[Flagjacket]

Oh. My bad then. Umm...... wow, I just realized that I've never heard Jimmy jazz.

[guns_of_brixton]

If I had an mp3, it'd already be making it's way around the thread.



But alas, I've only heard it on the radio.


It's on the Lords Of Dogtown soundtrack coming soon, so maybe check that out sometime. Until then, just look around for it, because someone will have it eventually.

Ahhh, well its aight then.

no matter how much green day have been inspired by the clash, they kinda suck anyway.Joe would have kicked their ***

123, Joe would've hit them upside the head with his Telecaster.

And that Green Day guy actually told you to shut up? If so, he's a douche, and a shitty drummer. Like the Lamborghini guy.

[CombatRock]

Tre = Lamborghini Guy

[Coma_Girl]

No, no matter how hard I try, I can't hate him. I know he shouldnt tell stuff like that to his fans, but I love him anyway...I'm way too nice. :upset: I feel bad for what I told him though...I pretty much told him he just sucked. He's not a ****ty drummer...Maybe he was just tired, or maybe he has a weird humor sense.Who knows.But he's not like the LB at all.

[CombatRock]

no, that was preety stupid of him just to blow his fans off like that. that made me lose all the respect i had for the guy.

[Forest_Fire]

You have to look at it from his perspctive though. I'm sure he has kids come up to him all the time and tell him that Green Day sucks, or they sold out, or punks hate them blah blah blah. That's gotta be stressful when you are doing what you love.

But then again, I'm sure he could've done something instead of be an a'sshole

[sketchyjoe]

He's in a pop band. What else is he going to do?

[guns_of_brixton]

I don't know, but if a band member refused to talk to me after a show I would have no respect for them, considering I paid to see them.

And I guess he's not a shitty drummer, but Topper>him for sure.

[Coma_Girl]

well, he talked to me.but he stopped when i decided to criticize the security...but dustin is right, he sees kids like me every night...he doesnt care if i come home thinking he shouldnt have been mean to me cause if he feels nice tomorrow, he can be nice to people and maybe 15 other kids will come back home thinking he's the nicest guy ever.

anyway, back to the clash now.

[SlappedByTheClash]

That bitch told you to shut up?


No one talks to the Clash Hos like that.


But to keep on subject, I seriously can't wait for Viva Joe Strummer, it's got so many people appearing in it. And then 101'ers material? the next coouple of months are pretty awesome.


I just noticed how many times Mick says "Right?". Goood God.

[CombatRock]

yea Mick always says that!


i need to start saving some money up for i can get me some of those new clash things!

[Coma_Girl]

the good thing with the clash is that i'll never meet them so they won't destroy my life.

[SlappedByTheClash]

Yeah, I wonder if Joe was like Tupac and just stored away like 200 songs, so they'll release a few a year.


That would be so sweet.

[Coma_Girl]

probably not

[white_riot]

the good thing with the clash is that i'll never meet them so they won't destroy my life.

Mick was a champ with the fans. in fury have the hour it says how Mick would invite them back to the Motel and talk to them.

[Coma_Girl]

Yeah...maybe.But I don't want to meet any of my heroes anymore.Ive learned my lesson.But if I had the chance to meet Mick or Topper or Paul, I guess I'd like it anyway...or Joe..but eee..yeah

[SlappedByTheClash]

Mick was a champ with the fans. in fury have the hour it says how Mick would invite them back to the Motel and talk to them.

Yeah, but their was one time where they invited some fans back and ended up smearing sandwiches all over him and their driver beat him up.


Yeah, I think it was mostly the driver's fault, but The Clash let it happen.


It was only one time though, I doubt they let some s'hit like that happen again.

[Coma_Girl]

yeah I read that in Let Fury Have The Hour...I think Mick felt really bad about it though

[guns_of_brixton]

Yeah, but their was one time where they invited some fans back and ended up smearing sandwiches all over him and their driver beat him up.


Yeah, I think it was mostly the driver's fault, but The Clash let it happen.


It was only one time though, I doubt they let some s'hit like that happen again.

Wait... they smeared a sandwich on the fan :confused:? If so, that sucks for the fan, but is also insanely funny (the sandwiches part, not the beating). I was laughing my *** of when I pictured that in my head :lol:.

[sketchyjoe]

They had a food fight and one of the sandwiches hit the driver who got pissed off and went for the kid.

[guns_of_brixton]

They had a food fight and one of the sandwiches hit the driver who got pissed off and went for the kid.

Oh, ok, I thought MIck smeared a sandwich on the kid.

[Coma_Girl]

Mick throwing sandwich at me?I think I would have killed myself.

[guns_of_brixton]

I wouldn't mind if Mick threw a sandwich at me.

[CombatRock]

it would be a cool story.

i just got done jogging and had the clash in my cd player and i listend to:
Janie Jones
Remote Control
Im so bored with the usa
White Riot
Whats My Name
Carrer Opprutinites
Proxtex Blue
Garage Land

good choice of songs if you ask me

[guns_of_brixton]

If you added Hate and War it would be a perfect choice of songs :thumb:.

Once I missed the bus and had to walk like 25 minutes to school, and I listened to Hate and War like 6 times in a row because then I was obsessed with it.

[CombatRock]

In my computer class (were i post at most of the time) we have are own account and when you log on to your account it shows you the person that logged on before you desktop (it most be a glitch or somthing), well when i logged on today it was a picture of The Clash, with Paul and Joe.

[white_riot]

In my computer class (were i post at most of the time)

I use to do that to. Until musician forums kept on crashing.

[Coma_Girl]

that sandwich story stayed on my mind all day and i was waiting for the bus after school, and a bunch of stupid kids were making fun of another kid and he was crying...and it reminded me of the sandwich incident, and how the clash "let it happen" and decided not to let it happen, and I went and talked with them and it worked :amaze:

[sketchyjoe]

That other kid hates you. He was saved by a girl.

[Coma_Girl]

he doesnt hate me... :upset: i just wanted to be nice.

[sketchyjoe]

I know you were but no guy wants to be saved by a girl. You'll seriously have to do him now to make it up to him.

[Forest_Fire]

:lol:

I've been sick the past couple of days. When I got home today, I didn't even notice that Streetcore was sitting on the counter.

It's so amazing.




Raaaamshaaackle Day Parade


I haven't listened to all of it yet though.




And congratulations, Sean

[Silvermedalmafia]

I know you were but no guy wants to be saved by a girl. You'll seriously have to do him now to make it up to him.
yeah, or his self esteem will fall into the basement and he'll hang himself and you'll be responsible for his death.

[Coma_Girl]

I know you were but no guy wants to be saved by a girl. You'll seriously have to do him now to make it up to him.
ewww.a 12 years old kid :rolleyes:

[Brain Toad]

ewww.a 12 years old kid :rolleyes:

Just remember.

WWJSD?

[Coma_Girl]

that's pretty much what i ask myself everyday when I have to take a decision.i'm that lame :upset:

It really is a great song, and thanks.

Just remember.

WWJSD?


I've never thought of that... but what about WWLGD?

[Forest_Fire]

or WWSJD?

[sketchyjoe]

or WWSJD?
What I'd do in this situation is fairly obvious.

[guns_of_brixton]

or WWSJD?

Who is SJ?

If he doesn't have anything to do with the Clash, Andy might arrest us :eek:.

[Forest_Fire]

You would do the 12 year old kid?

[sketchyjoe]

Who is SJ?

Work it out.You would do the 12 year old kid?If I was Andy then yes. He deserves it.

[Coma_Girl]

WWLGD?
:confused:

[guns_of_brixton]

Oh.. SJ is Sketchjoe... I knew that :p.

[guns_of_brixton]

:confused:

What Would the Lamborghini Guy Do?

[Coma_Girl]

shhhhhh.he would buy a new car, crash it into a wall...and die?

[Forest_Fire]

Maybe we should stop using weird acrobyms

[Coma_Girl]

If I was Andy then yes. He deserves it.
Joe wouldn't do a 12 years old kid.

[sketchyjoe]

Joe wouldn't do a 12 years old kid.
Joe would want him to get laid. Both Joe's. For the sake of his sanity.

[Coma_Girl]

but for the sake of MY sanity...i wont :rolleyes:

[Forest_Fire]

Maybe we should get back on the clash instead of doing 12 year old boys

[sketchyjoe]

Andy is no fun.

[Coma_Girl]

i know...Tré Cool made me realize how much I suck...you don't need to add to my sadness joe.


yeah back to the clash...cause the clash never did 12 years old boys...NEVER....except the LG... :naughty:

[sketchyjoe]

Tre Cool sucks.

[White Riot!]

he comes off as slighty homosexual....

[AIRIC]

They all do!

[Coma_Girl]

he comes off as slighty homosexual....
the LG?

[White Riot!]

Tre Cool....

[Coma_Girl]

the LG too anyway.

[White Riot!]

I met Tom Morello of RATM , it was totally worth it


Drummers are usually shy to people's attention , and the ones that are not shy still arent usually as used to it as compared to a bass player or guitarist for instance.

Im a drummer btw.


Lambourghini Guy was so crap, period

[Coma_Girl]

it's a good thing that mick paul and joe scared the **** out of him and that he decided to quit...hmm...or maybe they kicked him out...i don't remember

[Brain Toad]

Pour Andy:

Je m'ennuyais, alors je fait l'avatar pour toi. :)

[Coma_Girl]

<3ahhh you're so sweet.awesome.and you speak a really good french.or write a really good french.or have a really good site for the translation.whatever.thanks!

[Brain Toad]

I write better than I speak. I had to use a translator for the first part because I forgot how to say bored. I can read french books that were meant for 5-6 year olds though!

That is a good picture of Joe, better then the other ones on google, that looked kind of gay.

[Coma_Girl]

this is the passion is a fashion one?
my favorite picture of Joe ever.

[guns_of_brixton]

Andy has an avatar... wow! Its awesome, by the way.

[TheNowhereman42]

man andy, I liked you better before you sold out

[guns_of_brixton]

i don't know the exact translation...braintoad did it, so ask him...must be something like "I like"

[Brain Toad]

I put as meaning I love, because j'aime seemed to little for how much Andy likes Joe.

[sketchyjoe]

J'adore roughly translates as "I touch myself in the shower to thoughts of"

[RazorsInTheNight]

I downloaded Coma Girl yesterday, great song indeed.

[Coma_Girl]

i was crawling through a festival way out west...i was thinking about love and the acid teeeeest. :p

what's an acid test? :confused:

[Brain Toad]

i was crawling through a festival way out west...i was thinking about love and the acid teeeeest. :p

what's an acid test? :confused:

A test they did in the 60s and 70s with LSD and other types of drugs named "acids". Psycadelic drugs and such. A doctor (can't remember his name, wrote a book called Electric Kool Aid something or other) used to give acid to some people and watch how they reacted etc.

[Coma_Girl]

oh, thanks.

i think there's an other song on streetcore with acid test in it...i think it's all in a day at the beginning.

[guns_of_brixton]

A doctor used to give people acid? Thats pretty messed up.

I was wondering... and I'm pretty sure... but all of the Clash smoked, right?

[Brain Toad]

Remember this was the 60s and 70s, acid was still in its testing stages and they were not sure what exactly it could do. It is the same for most other drugs on the market. Cocaine was given to many patients for pain, the same with herion until the addicitive properties were releised.

Acid is by far one of the safer of the man man drugs, not as many bad chemicals as say cocaine, herion, and meth.

But this is off topic, so I shall stop.

[Coma_Girl]

cigarettes and pot.


and mick was once arrested cause he had cocaine in his pocket or something. :lol:

Ahh, I see, but bad acid trips can mess you up, unless I'm confusing that with another drug. I shold've payed attention in health class :lol:.

Yea, I rember hearing that Mick was doing cocaine when they were recording Combat Rock.

[Brain Toad]

Bad trips do happen, but are few and far between. Heatlh classes in the US now are pretty much useless. I'm in favour of Jello's sex and drug education classes, where real life examples are used (kids get to try drugs and sex first hand to learn them)

The Clash don't seem like a band who would do too many of the hard drugs. It just doesn't seem them to me. I couldn't imagine Joe becomming a herion addict like so many other rock stars.

[Coma_Girl]

but Topper WAS an heroin addict.

[Brain Toad]

Drummers don't count, they always do stupid stuff :P

[Coma_Girl]

you're talking about the LG right? :p

[Brain Toad]

Who?

[Coma_Girl]

I don't remember his real name...you know, the lamborghini guy...who was the drummer for the clash before Topper.

[guns_of_brixton]

Terry Chimes.

And I've realized how bad a drummer he really is. He played the drums on Capital Radio One and Topper played them on Capital Radio Two, and Topper is just messing around with the beat and showing how much better he was than the LG.

[Coma_Girl]

plus topper wasnt playing music to buy a car.

[SlappedByTheClash]

Terry Chimes.

And I've realized how bad a drummer he really is. He played the drums on Capital Radio One and Topper played them on Capital Radio Two, and Topper is just messing around with the beat and showing how much better he was than the LG.

Yeah, if you watch him on the essential clash playing Career Opportunities, he's barely keeping up.


Topper would've pwned that beat.


I think if they had re-recorded their first songs with Topper, they would've sounded so much better.

But they also would've sold out. So it's good they didn't.

He was the reason that the Clash didn't play very fast on their first album. It would've really sucked if he stayed with the Clash.

[Forest_Fire]

I don't have the self titled, but a lot of songs on there are on the essential clash.


I looooove Streetcore; easily my favourite cd at the moment. Which mescaleros cd should I get next?

[guns_of_brixton]

Global a Go-Go, possibly.

[CombatRock]

I don't have the self titled, but a lot of songs on there are on the essential clash.


then i guess you have never heard Whats my Name? its on s/t but not on essential clash.

[Coma_Girl]

probably global a go-go cause there's johnny appleseed, cool'n'out, shatkar donetsk and bhindi bhagee.

on the other hand, rock art and the x-ray style is a cool album name and there's tony adams and yalla yalla (the best song ever) on it.

it's crazy how all the greatest songs ever have been written by joe strummer.

[Silvermedalmafia]

I love the intro beat to self titled. It's so simple, but it works so well with the song (janie jones). But yeah, Topper is a better drummer, especially how he uses the hi-hat.

[Forest_Fire]

then i guess you have never heard Whats my Name? its on s/t but not on essential clash.

Nope, is it really good?

[CombatRock]

yea Whats my Name is a good song. i dont remember were i saw this but i saw a clip of them playing it live. and when they were playing it Joe pointed at the camera in the middle of the song i sang "see now were on the Tv what does it mean to me what does it mean to you **** OFF! i always loved that part , classic joe

common hes brittish, of course he has ugly teeth.







/hope i didnt offend any brits here

[Coma_Girl]

can someone tell me where the mescaleros got their name from?It's the only information I can't find for my profil, and I remember that I read it in Let Fury Have The Hour, I read it all over again and can't find it :confused:

[CombatRock]

cant help you out there. you would be the only one who knows probley.

[Forest_Fire]

Yeah. I've been waiting to read that profile. Get to work Andy! :)


I can't wait to get a clash book, but it'll probably be a couple weeks

[Brain Toad]

Mes·ca·le·ro Pronunciation Key (msk-lâr)
n. pl. Mescalero or Mes·ca·le·ros

1. An Apache tribe formerly inhabiting southern New Mexico, western Texas, and north-central Mexico, with a present-day population in southern New Mexico.
2. A member of this tribe.


That may help.

[Coma_Girl]

i know it has something to do with a movie joe saw.and there was mescaleros in it or something...i need to find it.

[CombatRock]

are you going to want me to edit your profile?

[Coma_Girl]

yeah, cause there's probably too much grammar mistakes to post it like that.

[white_riot]

can someone tell me where the mescaleros got their name from?It's the only information I can't find for my profil, and I remember that I read it in Let Fury Have The Hour, I read it all over again and can't find it

I was watching this movie and i think it was about some indian american people and one of the tribes were called the mescalero tribe.

[guns_of_brixton]

yea Whats my Name is a good song. i dont remember were i saw this but i saw a clip of them playing it live. and when they were playing it Joe pointed at the camera in the middle of the song i sang "see now were on the Tv what does it mean to me what does it mean to you **** OFF! i always loved that part , classic joe

That was in Westway, I believe.

[Bon_Scottie]

I've been getting into the Clash latly. My mate is a big fan, and I decied I'd take a listen.

It's weird with the Clash, because some of their tunes are just supeerior to others. I like obviously most of their popular ones, like;

I fought the law.
London calling.
Rock the Casbah.
Revolution Rock.
Know your rights.
Brand new cadalic.
White riot.
Should I stay or should I go?

Anybody suggest some more tunes I should get hold of? I wanna' get some albums soon.

[White Riot!]

this is in no way comprehensive........but here goes

popular tunes:

Complete Control
Janie Jones
Rudie Cant Fail (coolest. song. ever.)
Tommy Gun
Safe European Home
Stay Free
White Man In Hammersmith Palais
Death Or Glory
Im Not Down

Joe would love that comparaison. I know it.

[guns_of_brixton]

I just listened to a live version of Whats My Name. Sounds like it's a good song but the live track wasn't that great quality

me and andy both thought this was a good pic of paul, so i will share it to yall.

[sketchyjoe]

He looks like a panda. A hot panda.

[Coma_Girl]

i didnt want to say that he was hot on that picture when travis showed it to me, but now that Joe said it, yeah, he is.And it's true that he looks like a panda.

[Forest_Fire]

He needs some eyes.




Does anyone know who does the laugh at the beginning of Radio Clash? It sounds weird

[Coma_Girl]

i dont know, but i ****ing love that song. theres something really awesome about the lyrics of that song, and I have a photography/poetry project based on the song. :cool:

[sketchyjoe]

A test they did in the 60s and 70s with LSD and other types of drugs named "acids". Psycadelic drugs and such. A doctor (can't remember his name, wrote a book called Electric Kool Aid something or other) used to give acid to some people and watch how they reacted etc.
Acid Test usually refers to how gold was tested for authenticity. It would be dropped in acid and if it dissolved it wasn't gold. So the phrase acid test has come to mean the ultimate test or test that really proves something once and for all.

[Coma_Girl]

oh i see now.

my dad called me from san antonio yesterday, and streetcore was playing in his truck :cool: silver and gold

[Brain Toad]

The way it was used seem to make reference to taking acid and being part of the electric kool aid acid test, but maybe I'm just too into a drug reference here.

[White Riot!]

this man is on the ball

[Coma_Girl]

my mom is going in vermont today so i asked her to buy me Passion Is A Fashion or The Return Of The Last Gang In Town :cool: :D

[sketchyjoe]

I don't understand why everyone hates Terry Chimes. He played on the 2nd best Clash album.

[IMONXTC]

yeah but i have orgasms thinking about how much better the clash s/t would have been with topper. terry plays like ringo starr

[guns_of_brixton]

Did I ever tell you guys that I let my friend listen to "The Guns of Brixton", and we were talking about the Clash, and he thought Elvis Costello was in the Clash :lol:.

And I don't like how and why Terry Chimes played drums.

[sketchyjoe]

Why did he play drums?

[guns_of_brixton]

To get rich and buy a Lamborghini.

[sketchyjoe]

So?

[metty16]

That's what I'd do

[White Riot!]

joe's cadilliacs own lamboughini's

[guns_of_brixton]

So?

I think that its lame to play music just for money.

[White Riot!]

Listen to the beats on death or glory.........

listen to the beat at 1:45

perfect tasteful playing with finesse.

toppers drumming always fits with and interacts with what everyone else is doing,

I mean come on! he even plays to joe's wailing! how cool is that!


lambo guy sounds like he is playing with himself , therefore he aint really part of the band.

hi people....ive been posting in this thread for a while name's Atilla. .....Really , yes it is :thumb:

[sketchyjoe]

So he's a crap drummer and he had a dream? Tht's no reason to despise him. It's not like he played on Cut The Crap.

[CombatRock]

he did play on CtC,

white riot your name is Atilla, were is that from?

[sketchyjoe]

The CtC line-up was Joe, Paul, Nick Sheppard, Pete Howard and Vince White.

[Coma_Girl]

ctc sucks even though Joe was in the band...it means that it's a LAME album...eww...i hate to think about it

[guns_of_brixton]

So he's a crap drummer and he had a dream? Tht's no reason to despise him. It's not like he played on Cut The Crap.

True, although CtC couldn't have been much worse.

[white_riot]

Does anyone else agree that drug stabbing time is an awesome song.

[CombatRock]

i have only heard the chorus of it, never the full song. what i heard was good though.

[SactoUnited]

Kill the tootsie.

[guns_of_brixton]

I like Drug Stabbing Time, its their best drug song. Much better than Julie's Been Working for the Drug Squad.

[CombatRock]

is it really? i love Julie Been Working for the Drug Squad.

[Coma_Girl]

i love this song too.

[white_riot]

i love Julie Been Working for the Drug Squad

That song is awesome too.

[White Riot!]

he did play on CtC,

white riot your name is Atilla, were is that from?

Im an Australian of Turkish/Dutch/Australian descent

its Turkish/Dutch. My parents couldnt agree on a name so they used one that was from both cultures , so in essence i'm a really just a culture clash :wave:

Turkish Conservatism mixed with Dutch Liberties. ha!





im white riot! , not white riot.......she is an Australian girl who posts here , funnily enough!


In holland we put mayonaise on our french fries , mothaƒucka! :naughty:


well enough about me , this aint the Clash Community Thread.................................YET! :naughty:

[CombatRock]

That song is awesome too.

the piano in it is awesome.

[white_riot]

Give em enough rope is a really good album. Stay Free sends shivers down my spine every time i listen to it. i love that song.

[CombatRock]

same here, the last verse is so..hm...i dont know how to describe it, beautiful.

[guns_of_brixton]

I love Stay Free. One of 2 Clash songs that mentions Brixton.

[sketchyjoe]

What's the other?

[SlappedByTheClash]

If'n ya'll wants to here the Social Distortion cover of Death Or Glory, go to dogtownsoundtrack.com. It's a bit louder and rougher than the Clash version, but i love them both equally.


P.S. You can also see a video of Rise Against covering Nervous Breakdown by Black Flag. And random skate clips from Lords Of Dogtown.


Enjoy!

[Coma_Girl]

If'n ya'll wants to here the Social Distortion cover of Death Or Glory, go to dogtownsoundtrack.com. It's a bit louder and rougher than the Clash version, but i love them both equally.
i dont see how it could be as good as the clash version, but i don't feel like listening to it.

[CombatRock]

anyone seen that show Zoie 101 on Nickelodian, anyway, for some reason it was on my TV, and they were talking about this kid doing stand up like Chris Rock, then it showed the kid and he had a on a clash shirt. same on i have.

[guns_of_brixton]

The Guns of Brixton :rolleyes:.

"The Clash is what U2 wishes the were"- Henery Rollins.


hahahhah

[Coma_Girl]

sometimes i hate canada and id do anything to live in the states...but then I think about how you guys have no luck with your governement and i'm happy to live here...oh wait...paul martin and his government frauded us. okay, i wish i could see this 1 minute on the clash.

BUT...I saw Bono (ewwwww) talking about the Pistols and The Clash on TV. When Joe died he said The Clash was his favorite band of alltime and that Joe was the biggest inspiration he ever had. When Johnny Ramone died he said the same about The Ramones and Johnny.I think I hate Bono.

[sketchyjoe]

Bono is a ****.

[guns_of_brixton]

the laundry?let's get married, and we could have a clash cover band at the wedding. :rolleyes:

:lol:

I seriously had to do the laundry! :lol:

"The Clash is what U2 wishes the were"- Henery Rollins.


hahahhah

He also said that they were one of the bands of the last century, and the guy from Anthrax who was in the Public Enemy video called them the "CNN of punk."

[guns_of_brixton]

Bono is a ****.

123

[CombatRock]

If Vh1 new anything clash would have been before Ramones and Sex Pistols, hell even before ozzy and metallica and all those metal heads.

[guns_of_brixton]

If Vh1 new anything clash would have been before Ramones and Sex Pistols, hell even before ozzy and metallica and all those metal heads.

The Ramones are on right now. But the Clash should be #1.

[guns_of_brixton]

Joey Ramone said something about everyone wanting to look like the Ramones. I don't agree, they were pretty ugly.

[CombatRock]

in my book they are 1, and thats all that counts.



andy dosnt have Essential Clash dvd! she is crazy!

[Coma_Girl]

:lol:

I seriously had to do the laundry! :lol:



He also said that they were one of the bands of the last century, and the guy from Anthrax who was in the Public Enemy video called them the "CNN of punk."
we should get married for real then, i hate doing the laundry

and on another note, Bono is gay, ugly and change his mind everytime a legend die.

[CombatRock]

Joey Ramone said something about everyone wanting to look like the Ramones. I don't agree, they were pretty ugly.


hhahah 123.

i hope he meant the leather jacket thing.


when they show the Sex Pistols, Henery Rollins says "Johnny Rotten is like a cute puppy, i want to pet him"

[Coma_Girl]

Joey Ramone said something about everyone wanting to look like the Ramones. I don't agree, they were pretty ugly.
eww..the ramones were SO ugly. It doesnt really matter when you play music, but they were anyway. The Clash were wayyy hotter. And the Pistols too anyway.

[guns_of_brixton]

we should get married for real then, i hate doing the laundry

and on another note, Bono is gay, ugly and change his mind everytime a legend die.

OK! :thumb: I'll do the laundry!

And 123 about Bono.

[CombatRock]

[Coma_Girl]

[littlebeast]

Did london ss ever record anything???

[guns_of_brixton]

Oh my favorite Clash song at the moments is Career Opportunities. I had to write an essay today about jobs and I added in at the end the "career opportunities are the ones the never knock." Unfortunately it was a shitty essay.

[CombatRock]

Did london ss ever record anything???


maybe, but i dont think you can by it anywere?

[Coma_Girl]

i hate the name "london ss"

what a gay name.

[CombatRock]

you know what SS means right?

[guns_of_brixton]

I think it had something to do with Nazis...?

[Coma_Girl]

yeah

btw, i saw an havana 3am cd last week...but it was too expensive for me.

[CombatRock]

SS is a ship. andy your stingy with money. i would die for a havana 3am cd, just for the fact i have never seen one sold.

[Coma_Girl]

from what I remember, SS is Hitler's army or something like that. I don't remember if it was his personal army, or just the army of the country. But it wasn't a ship...or maybe my history teacher really sucks.

[handicap$]

Wow what a great band they made alot of awesome songs LOndon calling is a good one and ya there were and still are a great band .

[CombatRock]
