The Official Clash & Joe Strummer Thread

[Coma_Girl]

hahahaha. i heard that song and it was pathetic. wonder what the clash would have been like without joe?
another boring band with mick singing songs about love and girls. anyway, i don't think people would still remember the clash today if it wasnt for everything joe brought to the band.

the clash are not the clash without joe mick paul or topper.

[sketchyjoe]

The first album is The Clash. That doesn't have Topper and it's probably their second best.

Drummers aren't as important as the rest of the band.

hahahah.

nice to see andy back in this thread.

drummers are important. there's no drums without drummers.


and i'm listening to overpowered by funk right now and I'm not sure if i like it or not. i'm just :confused:

[CombatRock]

i like the title of the song, but i have never heard the song.

[Brain Toad]

I just came in here to post I just listened to that, and I really liked it.

[white_riot]

Thats on Combat Rock isn't it. I don't listen to that album much.

[CombatRock]

i think im going to give a listen to it then!

[CombatRock]

i listend to 30 seconds of it off a website. i liked it the bass was catchy like most clash songs. i only heard a couple of seconds of lyrics though. preety cool.

[SlappedByTheClash]

But then again, there's 1-2 Crush on You.

I love that song...

[Anti-Prefix]

I'm starting to like Give 'em Enough Rope more than their Self Titled. Which is rare because I'm obsessive over their self titled.

I still think S/T is classically the best Clash album. :cool:

[white_riot]

Give em enough Rope is a really good album but it can't compare to the S/T.

[guns_of_brixton]

I'm starting to like Give 'em Enough Rope more than their Self Titled. Which is rare because I'm obsessive over their self titled.

I still think S/T is classically the best Clash album.

I LOVE Give 'em Enough Rope, but the production kind of ****ed it up. It's just a little below the s/t for me. Stay Free is such an amazing song.

Oh, and I'm sure I'm not the only one here who has Super Black Market Clash... who has heard Gates of the West? I love it.

[white_riot]

Oh, and I'm sure I'm not the only one here who has Super Black Market Clash... who has heard Gates of the West? I love it.

I don't have Super Black Market Clash. :upset:

What does the song sound like.

[CombatRock]

I think i like GEER better than s/t, probaly just because GEER has Stay Free.

[white_riot]

Stay Free is an awesome song.

S/T got White Riot.

[CombatRock]

i dont like the version of White Riot on the uk one.

[white_riot]

Is it different on the US version.

[CombatRock]

i have never heard the us version. but if you have Essential Clash with the sierens at the beginning, its different from that one.

[white_riot]

i know what you mean now. On one of my compliations it has the sirens at the start.

do you know which c.d has the song Prisoner on it.

[CombatRock]

no but i will look.

[CombatRock]

Its on Super Black Market Clash, that album seems really good, i have yet to pick it up. im going to put that on my to do list.

[white_riot]

cool, i think i might buy that one soon too. i really like that song.

[guns_of_brixton]

Its on Super Black Market Clash, that album seems really good, i have yet to pick it up. im going to put that on my to do list.

Its good, except for some weird songs at the end of the album.

Gates of the West sounds like it should be on GEER.

[guns_of_brixton]

I just learned to play Pressure Drop (the Clash cover version) on guitar. Cool song :thumb:.

[Coma_Girl]

I think i like GEER better than s/t, probaly just because GEER has Stay Free.
i love the s/t better cause it has im so bored with the usa, complete control, white man, janie jones, police and thieves and hate and war on it...

[CombatRock]

Sweet, i just went to this new record store in my town, and they had this bootleg clash cd, or atleast i have never seen it in my life. it had some of there most popular songs on it then lots of interviews between song. but i coultnt get it cos they wernt for sale, but in a couple of weeks they are. and they had combatrock which i down own. and the great thign is all there cds are 5 dollars.

Awesome :thumb:.

I found somebody on soulseek with 9 (!) Clash bootlegs. His name is danberto. He also has something called "From Here to Eternity 2".

[Coma_Girl]

rock the casbah is such a great song. it's just sad that most people only know the clash for this song.

and come on...best video EVER. :lol:

[Brain Toad]

Winamp just placed two Clash songs in a row. Rebel Waltz and Ghetto Defendent.

[Canadian-Guy]

rock the casbah is such a great song. it's just sad that most people only know the clash for this song.

I just saw it the other day. Wicked :lol:

A little too mainstream for the Clash, but then again, they didn't release a lot of singles.

[CombatRock]

on the way home from my familys "ranch" i was listening to XM and Bankrobber came on.

[Coma_Girl]

yesterday, we smoked and listened to the whole london calling album like 3 times in my friends car. and we kept hearing strange words and it was fun. i think it got my friends into the clash. :thumb:

Yeah, but you're like 14.


Smoking's bad enough, but underage drug users are what I'm really intolerant of.

If the only thing you got from Joe was that smoking is cool, I'm a bit disappointed.

[Coma_Girl]

Yeah, but you're like 14.

I'm 17, bastard.

nah, it's not cool. i know it's bad but it's pretty boring where i live. and don't be disappointed, you know it's not the only thing I got from Joe.

[SlappedByTheClash]

nah, it's not cool. i know it's bad but it's pretty boring where i live. and don't be disappointed, you know it's not the only thing I got from Joe.

Yeah, you're not so bad...


But I hate smokers, so it's a bit conflicting right now.


Too many people I know have died of Lung Cancer. That's where my hatred of tobacco starts.


Ironically, my state is on of the top exporters of tobacco products. Sucks.

[Coma_Girl]

for some reasons, i cant stand cigarettes but i have no problem with people smoking pot.

[SlappedByTheClash]

for some reasons, i cant stand cigarettes but i have no problem with people smoking pot.

Ha ha, Ganja. That's killing about 3/4's of Jamaica's population right now.


Remember that line in Safe European Home? They Got The Weed, They Got The Taxi's!


Or something...


All I know is, I saw this picture of Paul smoking a freakin' huge spliff, which I thought was just hilarious. I hate that stuff, but this thing was ridicuolous. :lol:

[the101er]

why do u hate the stuff?

im not having a go, im just interested in other peoples views :)

[mcmurray]

for some reasons, i cant stand cigarettes but i have no problem with people smoking pot.

cigarettes are more harmful than pot, i think. pot has never killed anyone directly.

[ledpoisoning27]

cigarettes are more harmful than pot, i think. pot has never killed anyone directly.
I was telling my friend taht the other day because he was saying he wanted to smoke pot but he said it was bad for his lung and I kept telling him no one has ever died from lung cancer fron just smoking pot.

[Canadian-Guy]

what are you talking about, it's not bad...joe was doing it all the time :amaze:

welcome to the joe strummer thread canadian guy. i'm andy, the clash thread police :cool: this thread will never die.

Thanks :) .

The piano in The Card Cheat sends chills up my spine.

[white_riot]

Card Cheat is a cool song. Someone said that its the theme song for the World Poker Championship.

[mcmurray]

I was telling my friend taht the other day because he was saying he wanted to smoke pot but he said it was bad for his lung and I kept telling him no one has ever died from lung cancer fron just smoking pot.

however...neither is exactly good for you

[Canadian-Guy]

Card Cheat is a cool song. Someone said that its the theme song for the World Poker Championship.

Haha, that'd be cool.

I have no beef with pot smokers, but in this golden age of information, you'd have to be ****ing nuts to pick up a cigarette. My aunt just died of emphysema, so I'm pretty opinionated about it.

[CombatRock]

yea, pots meeeh preety bad, but cigarette is just plain dumb. i dont see why anyone would do it. but this is a clash thread not a drug discussion thread so back on topic.

[white_riot]

I really have to learn how to play Tommy Gun on guitar, i love it.

[gude]

I didn´t read the whole thread, but does anybody know the Johnny Cash/ Joe Strummer cover of Bob Marleys "Redemption Song"?
That is pretty amazing!!

[sketchyjoe]

No. No-one does. It doesn't exist. You're lying.

[Coma_Girl]

ohhh we need to keep this thread alive.

if you had one chance to meet Joe, what would you tell him?

[sketchyjoe]

Hey dude, I like your music.

[CombatRock]

ohhh we need to keep this thread alive.

if you had one chance to meet Joe, what would you tell him?

I would probley be one of those little teen girls seeing backstreet boys not know what to say. i would probley just talk about his music and stuff. but it will never happen so....haha.

[white_riot]

ohhh we need to keep this thread alive.

if you had one chance to meet Joe, what would you tell him?

I think I would just say thankyou and tell him how he has influenced me. I hate when people meet their idols and they start crying and jump around and act like a fool. That annoys me.

[Punx18]

The first thing i'd say would be thanks without joe i'd probally have never picked up the guitar. The ammount of people he has influcnced is amazin. I dont think there is anyone i'd ever want to meet more than joe, its such a shame! RIP man.

Anyone got the new Viva Joe Strummer DVD?

[Coma_Girl]

I'd probably say something stupid cause I always say stupid things. I'd probably try to say something about all the things his music made me realize, but I'd forget all my english and look stupid. But I think I'd like to talk politics and music with him. This guy lived so many things, I'm sure he had interesting stories to tell.

And yesterday I was listening to the meskies and I started to think about how I missed their show in Montreal in 2001 and I think I'll regret it all my life. I know I wasnt listening to the meskies back then, but ****, I regret it anyway.

[Punx18]

Mescaleros were touring near me, this is before i got into them, but i like coma think that i'm going to regret that all my life! does anyone know were joe was burried if he was at all?

[CombatRock]

i acttaly wouldnt talk bout politics with him, that would be boring i would want to talk about him his life family. i think he is tired of talking about poltics.

[Coma_Girl]

Mescaleros were touring near me, this is before i got into them, but i like coma think that i'm going to regret that all my life! does anyone know were joe was burried if he was at all?
hmm...i dont know. I read something about Joe's daugther screaming "DONT YOU PISS ON MY DADS GRAVE" (so theres a grave somewhere) to a guy at a festival. Maybe Somerset (but again, i have no idea if it's a town or a state or whatever cause I'm stupid), that's where he lived when he died.

I dont think Joe would like all the attention, but he should have his own (insert the word I don't know in english here.statue?you know...like Johnny Ramone). It would be cool for us.

[Coma_Girl]

i acttaly wouldnt talk bout politics with him, that would be boring i would want to talk about him his life family. i think he is tired of talking about poltics.
i dont see how talking politics with Joe Strummer could be boring, really

[Punx18]

he was buried in Saint Martin's Church in London. thanks to the slightly weird site http://www.findagrave.com

[Canadian-Guy]

I didn´t read the whole thread, but does anybody know the Johnny Cash/ Joe Strummer cover of Bob Marleys "Redemption Song"?
That is pretty amazing!!

It's great.

[Canadian-Guy]

I don't see how talking to Joe would be boring at all. Dammit, he needs to have not died :upset:

[Coma_Girl]

I don't see how talking to Joe would be boring at all. Dammit, he needs to have not died :upset:
listen to the mescaleros before going to bed. :thumb: everytime I do that, Joe is in my dreams. So it's like meeting him but without being all stupid.

and now that I think about it, it's weird. I'm sure there's something in their music that makes people have weird dream.

[TheNowhereman42]

its the trace amounts of LSD excreted from the soundwaves the cd produces

[Coma_Girl]

friday night, i had a dream where I was late for my english class, and I took the wrong stairs and I was at this store where I met Chad from New Found Glory. He told me they were playing with the meskies, and I watched their set and decided to go back to my classroom cause I was really late. When I got there, Joe was my english teacher and they were playing Gamma Ray in my classroom. It was kinda cool though it was the kind of dream where you can't really see where you're going cause there's like...too much light or something and you always feel like you forgot something.

[CombatRock]

you have the craziest dreams, im yet to have a dream about the clash.

[Forest_Fire]

Saw Flogging Molly. Amazing.

They talked about Joe for a second and had everybody clap for him. I think they do that at every show. Before Flogging Molly played, there was a mix playing. Operation Ivy came on and about 3/4 of the people sang along. Rancid came on and about the same sang along. London Calling started played and only about 10 people sang along. It was sad.

But then Johnny Cash came on, the lights went out, and everybody sang along. Much fun.

But the main point of this post was about the Joe thing and the Clash thing. (on topic) :)

[CombatRock]

did you sing along to the clash!

[Forest_Fire]

kind of.


It was annoying as hell though, because there was a 7 foot tall drunk guy in front of me. He beat the s'hit out of another drunk guy during the set.

[Canadian-Guy]

I wish I could have Clash dreams!

[TNT]

Strummer owns.

[CombatRock]

nice to see you made your first post in the best thread ever. welcome.

I was listening to that song at that moment.

I hear that's good, but goes down a bit near the end. Tr00f?

[sketchyjoe]

hmm...i dont know. I read something about Joe's daugther screaming "DONT YOU PISS ON MY DADS GRAVE" (so theres a grave somewhere) to a guy at a festival. Maybe Somerset (but again, i have no idea if it's a town or a state or whatever cause I'm stupid), that's where he lived when he died. What you're referring to is a memorial stone in a field at Glastonbury Festival but that's not his grave. It's there because he was a Glastonbury regular and good friends with it's organiser.

[gude]

No. No-one does. It doesn't exist. You're lying.
That´s what you know!

[pasta]

Pretty good, expect I'm in a minority but I remember being a bit let down by the Clash at the time. The first album was brilliant but felt the subsequent albums were produced I felt, too much with the big USA audience in mind, almost like two Clashes, the studio Clash and the live Clash, anyone who saw them live had to be impressed. Joe Strummer is a legend, I respect the guy and his politics enormously.

They dedicated a song to Johnny and Joe when I saw them too.

I agree with you about Give 'Em Enough Rope but London Calling isn't particularly polished with the exceptions of a few songs.

I went to see mxpx when they came here a while ago and they played should I stay or should I go. I went all crazy and I probably annoyed everyone around me cause I was screaming.

Has anyone heard the story of when them and the Sex Pistols use to play together, and Mick stopped because Sid once wore a shirt with a Nazi symbol?

Supposedly, Mick Jones is Jewish, and he refused to jam with them after that. Anyone else heard it?

no, but i think johnny rotten hated joe anyway

[white_riot]

He was jealous of Joe

[Coma_Girl]

i understand why. i'd be jealous too. johnny had nothing compared to joe, except the cute puppy look

[guns_of_brixton]

Mick might be Jewish, because of the "rehersal rehersal" part in Westway.

The "Police on my Back" from one of those live bootlegs is amazing :cool:.

Schnap, I still have to see Westway To The World.

Hey, has anyone seen Mystery Train?

[evan6the9punk]

my favorite clash song is train in vain :thumb:

[prettyvacantbrat]

pretty good, although probably enhanced by the fact that i was listening to London Calling while reading it.

[guns_of_brixton]

Schnap, I still have to see Westway To The World.

Hey, has anyone seen Mystery Train?

Mystery Train? I've never heard of it. What is it? But yes, buy Westway.

[white_riot]

What the hell is mystery train? Westaway is really good. Buy it now!

[Coma_Girl]

Mick might be Jewish, because of the "rehersal rehersal" part in Westway.
he is (and bernie rhodes too), i read that in a book called punkitudes today.

[white_riot]

NP - The Prisoner

[Canadian-Guy]

Mystery Train is a film about two Japanese people who came to America for several reasons, and Joe's in it. For reference http://imdb.com/title/tt0097940/.

[CombatRock]

Does it just say his name or does it talk about him for a while?

[sketchyjoe]

He ACTS in it.

[guns_of_brixton]

Cool, I like that song. I downloaded Gates of the West yesterday. It is a pretty good song.

Yea, I like the opening guitar part.

Oh, and Red Angel Dragnet is the greatest song of all time.

Isnt that one of the songs Paul sings?

[guns_of_brixton]

Yes, and it is amazing.

It mentions your name in it, Travis.

"Only Travis! Come in Travis!"

Happy Birthday

I think I'm buying Return of The Last Gang In Town with birthday money

Happy Birthday for yesterday Ska Pirate.

Red Angel Dragnet

I should've thought of doing that :(.

The Leader is another great song. It's way too short though.

[Coma_Girl]

Sooo I ask this compagny at my school to do a clash shirt for me. there's a picture in the front and it's written "yankee dollar talk to the dictators of the world" in the back.

And monday I have this very important speech to do for my french class. I'm supposed to talk about myself, but I decided I'd talk about the clash, but not really the music, just what it changed for me to see they were TRUE.
I hope people wont fall asleep. :upset:

[white_riot]

Cool, I'm sure they won't fall asleep and if they do their a bunch of idiots.

I agree with white riot, anyone who falls asleep is an idiot.

I'd rather talk about the Clash than myself too.

[CombatRock]

Yes, and it is amazing.

"Only Travis! Come in Travis!"


ha. im the only one with my name in a clash song :D

[sketchyjoe]

Or maybe they're just tired. Or don't like The Clash.

[guns_of_brixton]

ha. im the only one with my name in a clash song :D

There's a song on Combat Rock called Sean Flynn. :D

I just got Combat Rock. Ive always like what the clash have released, but this sounds a great album.

[Aeaon]

It's a good album, but I'd prefer their first LP and London Calling.

that album is on my to get list, even though i have heard 80% of the songs.

[sketchyjoe]

I think most people are with you there.

[white_riot]

It's a good album, but I'd prefer their first LP and London Calling.

Give em enough Rope is also better than Combat Rock.

[persistenceofresistance]

It's a good album, but I'd prefer their first LP and London Calling.

Im with ya on that. Actually, London Calling is my favorite Clash song period. I mean I love there other stuff but something about London Calling......its magnificent

[EightMilesHigh]

Give em enough Rope is also better than Combat Rock.

Same here. I'd say London Calling > Give 'Em Enough Rope > S/T > Combat Rock.

Then again, I haven't heard Sandinista.

[CombatRock]

I acctually cant stand the song London Calling.

[Canadian-Guy]

I acctually cant stand the song London Calling.

It's definitely not the best song on that album.

[ATM]

It's a very catchy song.

[CombatRock]

yea, i might not like it cos i have heard it a billion and one times.

[guns_of_brixton]

I acctually cant stand the song London Calling.

Yea, it loses its evergy after listening to it 1000s of times. But I like to listen to live versions of it and hear Joe screw up the words :).

"London calling, to the boys and girls. Come out of the cupboards, you underworlds." :lol:

[SlappedByTheClash]

Then again, I haven't heard Sandinista.

Honestly, you aren't missing much.

[sketchyjoe]

Spanish Bombs is the best song on London Callling.

[white_riot]

Guns of Brixton, London Calling, Rudie Can't Fail and Clampdown are probally my favourites on London Calling.

[Coma_Girl]

Give em enough Rope is also better than Combat Rock.
but combat rock is better than cut the crap

[Coma_Girl]

Guns of Brixton, London Calling, Rudie Can't Fail and Clampdown are probally my favourites on London Calling.
i think mines are spanish bombs, lost in the supermarket, clampdown, death or glory, koka kola and revolution rock

[white_riot]

Well I'm yet to hear any songs off Cut the Crap but from what I've heard, yes.

[white_riot]

i think mines are spanish bombs, lost in the supermarket, clampdown, death or glory, koka kola and revolution rock

Clampdown is such a great song.

[Scabies]

Whenever i listen to London Calling, i always skip the first track.

[Coma_Girl]

Whenever i listen to London Calling, i always skip the first track.
me too, london calling is a good song when you havent heard it 10000 times. Same for clash city rockers.

[white_riot]

I use to listen to Clash City Rockers alot. But I have stopped lately, I don't have it on any of my c.d's which sucks.

[Forest_Fire]

Number of songs i've listened to by the clash this week:

1




I really haven't been listening to them latley... :(

[Coma_Girl]

i listened to the clash and the mescaleros all week cause i was in a bad mood, and when i'm in a bad mood i can't listen to anything else or i get even more depressed. i tried to get a life and it didnt work.

[Canadian-Guy]

Guns of Brixton, London Calling, Rudie Can't Fail and Clampdown are probally my favourites on London Calling.

I like Train In Vain, Clampdown, The Card Cheat, and Rudie Can't Fail best.

[CombatRock]

me too, london calling is a good song when you havent heard it 10000 times. Same for clash city rockers.

Clash songs i skip are, Clash City Rockers, London Calling, Jimmy Jazz, Lovers Rock ect..

[Aeaon]

I never skip any clash song on any CD. But then again, Combat Rock isn't quite as good as other Clash releases. Doesn't sound punk enough.

[Aeaon]

Jimmy Jazz


Jimmy Jazz is a very good reason to like London Calling though. :upset:

[CombatRock]

it is to boring for me.

[guns_of_brixton]

Death
or
Glory.

Best.

[EightMilesHigh]

hm...

It looks like them circa 1982. But even barely then.

[CombatRock]

Joe and Mick look like 82, but Paul would be before 80 cos of the bass. but what do those artist know.

[EightMilesHigh]

Joe and Mick look like 82, but Paul would be before 80 cos of the bass. but what do those artist know.

Yeah, seriously.

Something I've noticed about The Clash, on most of their albums there's a really "emotional" song on it. Their S/T had "White Man In Hammersmith Palais", GEER had "Stay Free," London Calling had "The Card Cheat", Combat Rock had "Straight To Hell", etc.


Just an observation.

[sketchyjoe]

Their S/T had "White Man In Hammersmith Palais",
Only the US version. The original didn't.

And that's not a very emotional song if you look at the lyrics.

[Danzo]

http://www.rocktoons.com/clash/index.html
hm...

I like the way you can't even see Topper

[allsystemssuck]

Give Em Enough Rope I Just Got It!! Yay For Geoff!

[guns_of_brixton]

http://www.rocktoons.com/clash/index.html
hm...

Looks like them from the Rock the Casbah video... so Terry Chimes is the shadow...?

Only the US version. The original didn't.

And that's not a very emotional song if you look at the lyrics.

True, but still a great song.

Keyboard fix'd :D.

[EightMilesHigh]

Give Em Enough Rope I Just Got It!! Yay For Geoff!

Woohoo?

I love "Stay Free" and "Safe European Home."

[SlappedByTheClash]

Death
or
Glory.

Best.

(the

:upset:

Death Or Glory is simply one of the greatest songs ever.

[guns_of_brixton]

Death Or Glory is simply one of the greatest songs ever.

Possiblly the greatest.

[SlappedByTheClash]

Possiblly the greatest.
I've decided to get Death Or Glory tattooed across my upper back.


PunX Rawk, huh? :p

[Canadian-Guy]

I've decided to get Death Or Glory tattooed across my upper back.


PunX Rawk, huh? :p

You so should :eek:

[guns_of_brixton]

I considering going to see Lords of Dogtown just so I can hear the Social Distortion version of Death or Glory.

[CombatRock]

Only the US version. The original didn't.

And that's not a very emotional song if you look at the lyrics.

the orginal has an emotional song, protex blue. :p

nice to see you back steve.

[guns_of_brixton]

Haha the condom song.

Oh, and now I have a baseball avatar too, but we all know that Cubs>Rangers. :D

[CombatRock]

Rangers 32-23 Cubs 30-25. i guess your right sean :p .

[ledpoisoning27]

Go Cubs

[Brain Toad]

/me fills in for Andy

Hey hey hey... hey, start talking about the Clash

[CombatRock]

i know the clash were "football hooligans" wonder if they liked any other sports?

[white_riot]

Joe's favourite team was Chelsea, I think?

[Brain Toad]

It'd be funny if they liked Cricket.

[white_riot]

I wish they liked Cricket. It is my favourite sport.

[CombatRock]

whats cricket?

[Brain Toad]

whats cricket?

Really long game that baseball was based off of.

[CombatRock]

hm.. baseball is preety boring does that means its even more boring?

[sketchyjoe]

Yes.

[white_riot]

Cricket is a great sport.

Does anyone own the Essential Clash DVD. If so is it any good.

[the101er]

no, but i have viva joe strummer :)

[guns_of_brixton]

Rangers 32-23 Cubs 30-25. i guess your right sean :p .

:amaze:

i know the clash were "football hooligans" wonder if they liked any other sports?

If I remember... Mick and Topper were good, Joe was ok, but Paul was terrible at soccer :).

Go Cubs

[white_riot]

On my London Calling DVD it says something about there matches they use to have. Paul was violent, Joe was ok but never gave up and Mick and Topper were good i think.

[CombatRock]

white riot is right.



is viva joe strummer good? what is it about?

[Coma_Girl]

I've decided to get Death Or Glory tattooed across my upper back.

[CombatRock]

can you re type the speech for us pleeeeeeeeeeeeease :D

[Coma_Girl]

not really cause i didnt write it down...i just went in front of the class and talked about how the clash influenced me and why I respect them (but you all already know it) for like 15 minutes (when i was supposed to do a 5 minutes speech). and it was in french and I don't know enough words to say exactly what i said.

and there's a lot of people who joined the thread while i was gone.it's fun.what's your names?

when ever you need help just ask me you hear?

[Johnny EPHC]

Has anyone heard Joe's albums after The Clash, but before his ones with The Mescaleros?

[CombatRock]

i didnt know there was any?

[Johnny EPHC]

One called Walker in 1987 and one called Earthquake Weather in '89.

[CombatRock]

woah i have never heard of this. have you?

[white_riot]

I haven't heard any of his solo stuff.

[Coma_Girl]

i dwled earthquake weather but havent listened to all the songs yet. it's not bad, it sounds more like the mescaleros than the clash.

also, the song love kills (the one playing at the end of sid & nancy) is pretty good. and i have trash city, one of the songs he did with the latino rockabilly war (like the sticker on his guitar) somewhere on my computer.

[guns_of_brixton]

Oh... I forgot to say again, I'm Sean.

I've never heard any of the solo stuff, but I have heard some 101ers stuff that is very good.

[Coma_Girl]

when i listen to the 101ers, i have this image of joe with really long hair in my head and its funny.

[guns_of_brixton]

when i listen to the 101ers, i have this image of joe with really long hair in my head and its funny.

Joe had alot of awesome haircuts. He would've looked weird with long hair :lol:.

[Coma_Girl]

Joe had alot of awesome haircuts. He would've looked weird with long hair :lol:.
he had long hair when he was in the 101ers.i'll try to find a picture.

and i hate his combat rock/cut the crap hair styles.

[sketchyjoe]

He had a mohawk for Cut The Crap.

[guns_of_brixton]

I liked the hairstyle he had in the Should I Stay or Should I Go/ Career Opportunities performance on the Essential Clash dvd.

[EightMilesHigh]

He did have wicked hair.

[AIRIC]

PUNK SUCKS LISTEN TO METAL AND CORN!!!1

Noooo :upset:


I'm YSI'ing Give 'Em Enough Rope right now. If anyone wanted to put up a Joe Strummer solo album (with or without The Mescaleroes), it would be really awesome :)

[Johnny EPHC]

Noooo :upset:


I'm YSI'ing Give 'Em Enough Rope right now. If anyone wanted to put up a Joe Strummer solo album (with or without The Mescaleroes), it would be really awesome :)
I'll put up Streetcore.

[Coma_Girl]

streetcore is my favorite album ever. I think I love the mescaleros more than the clash...but not really. it just depends on my mood. i love how the clash were all political and "stand up for what you believe in". yeah, forget it...i love the clash more.i'm confused..it must be the pills i took..

[Johnny EPHC]

I zipped Streetcore and Global A Go-Go in the same folder. I'll post the link when it's done uploading.

[guns_of_brixton]

Pills?!?!

Oh, and I still have those bootlegs if anyone is interested.

[Forest_Fire]

What bootlegs?


Everyone should download the Mescaleros when it gets put up.



Oh, my name is Dustin. I missed when we all introduced ourselves.


And thanks for GEER, canadian guy

[Coma_Girl]

i have the live and acoustic album on soulseek.

pills for my anxiety problem..meh.It works well...I fall asleep, like I'm in a coma or something, and when I wake up, I feel like I'm really high, and most of the time, I just can't remember what I just did. I'm always half-asleep so I can't really be anxious.

oh yeah, and the other day my friends asked me to put on my london calling cd in the car...so i got them into the clash and im proud! :thumb:

[EightMilesHigh]

And thanks for GEER, canadian guy

Np. "Stay Free" is probably my favorite one off there.

Also, thanks for Streetcore.

[Coma_Girl]

Topper>Gay A'ss Tory Crimes.


He also destroyed lamborghinis, from what I've heard.


An enemy of Lamborghinis is an enemy of mine.

I was reading the beginning of the thread, and thought it was funny :lol:

[guns_of_brixton]

What bootlegs?

On soulseek, my name is gunsofbrixton. The best of which is a live Police on my Back.

Police on my Back (live) (http://s11.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=1P6YSFSML9BGC0SJ0Z7TGNWMK5)

[guns_of_brixton]

Junco Partner is my new favorite Clash song.

[CombatRock]

Andy, did you find any pictures of Joe in the 101ers?

[white_riot]

Np. "Stay Free" is probably my favorite one off there.

Also, thanks for Streetcore.

We can all agree that Stay Free is one of the best songs on Give em Enough Rope.

Enjoy Streetcore, it is a really great album.

[White Riot!]

Julies been working for the drug squad.....

[white_riot]

That song is awesome too. Drug Stabbing Time, Tommy Gun and Stay Free are probally my fav songs off Give em Enough Rope.

And Joe with his cool shoes...but it's from his clash period.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v111/xfull_collapse/joeandthecoolestshoes.jpg

[EightMilesHigh]

Oh man....he was such a hippie in the early to mid '70s....


P.S. - I'm a guy, and I can admit he looks kinda hot in the third one :p

[CombatRock]

woah this pictures look nothing like joe, and the first one looks like a dirty hippe.

[white_riot]

In the first one, What in the hell was Joe thinking with his hair. I agree with you on the third one Joe looks really cool.

[CombatRock]

The 101ers cds are on sale now right?

[guns_of_brixton]

In that last picture, Joe invented wearing those shoes. There are at least 5 people I have seen wearing them. They only look cool on Joe. :D

[CombatRock]

did he paint those himself?

[Coma_Girl]

In that last picture, Joe invented wearing those shoes. There are at least 5 people I have seen wearing them. They only look cool on Joe. :D
it's sad they wouldnt look cool on me, cause on joe, it looks like the coolest shoes ever. :upset: I'm looking for shoes to wear with my prom dress, huh

[CombatRock]

were boots? who you going to prom with?

[Coma_Girl]

im going alone cause im a loser, but its okay cause most of my friends are going alone too. and i had this idea of writing lyrics on my dress, like just a line or something, but i cant decide what. ive read almost all the mescaleros lyrics and didnt find the kind of line i was looking for.

[CombatRock]

write Kick over the wall cos governments to fall on your dress!

[EightMilesHigh]

write Kick over the wall cos governments to fall on your dress!

:eek: So punk rawk!

I love Clampdown.

[guns_of_brixton]

Everyone loves Clampdown.

[Johnny EPHC]

I never really liked that song much. My favorite Clash song is Right Profile.

[Coma_Girl]

i love both songs, but clampdown more.

joe's voice makes my heart beats faster. i noticed that in the bus when i was listening to something else, then i put on my meskies cd. its crazy


annnnnnnnnnd. i got 91% for my speech! :cool:

[CombatRock]

Clampdown is probley my fav. the lyrics are soooo amazing.

[guns_of_brixton]

annnnnnnnnnd. i got 91% for my speech! :cool:

Does the teacher like the Clash?

Has anyone else even heard Junco Parter? It's my new favorite.

[guns_of_brixton]

Wow on The Daily Show it just showed a picture of George Bush and Tony Blair shaking hands it said LOndon Calling in green and pink and John Stewart made a joke.

[Coma_Girl]
