The Official Clash & Joe Strummer Thread

[guns_of_brixton]

whos john stewart and what was the joke?

I forgot the joke, cause wasn't really paying attention until it showed the London Calling thing. And John Stewart is a comedian.

[Johnny EPHC]

Is the JS&TM song Tony Adams about the former Arsenal player?

[EightMilesHigh]

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

Truth, just the way he sings it so fast and full of emotional.

I love the way Joe could could convey the message of the song through his voice, it was so emotional. Like in "Train In Vain", he sounds genuinely hurt.

[CombatRock]

whos john stewart and what was the joke?

Host of comedy centrals Daily Show, he is one of the funniest persons ever.

Train in Vain was Mick... but Joe could do it too. :D

It was last night, and they showed the episode twice, but I missed the joke the second time :upset:. And John Stewart is really funny.

[CombatRock]

Daily Show is my favroite show, have new episode started already?

[white_riot]

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

The lyrics are brilliant in that song, I could never get sick of Clampdown.

[guns_of_brixton]

Daily Show is my favroite show, have new episode started already?

I think they might have.

The lyrics are brilliant in that song, I could never get sick of Clampdown.

I could never get bored of... Junco Partner!

[Coma_Girl]

today i talked about the clash with my religion teacher and my math teacher and he asked me why i liked them, so it was fun cause i talked about how great joe and the clash were for like 20 minutes. yeah!!
(but i still hate my math teacher)

[CombatRock]

ihave only had one teacher that liked the clash, i was going to burn her london calling but never got around to it.

[guns_of_brixton]

Last year one of my teacher noticed my Clash shirt and started talking about them.

That happened with my SLF shirt.

Ah. Thanks for setting me straight.

[CombatRock]

[EightMilesHigh]

do you watch it regulary, its the greatest show on tv.

Truth.

I was glancing at this book at the library about the 100 Greatest Album Covers Ever (or something) and they had London Calling. There was all sorts of cool info about the album on it. For example:

Paul smashed his bass so hard on the cover, he broke his watch. As a souvenir, he gave it to the photographer.

(may not be 100% correct, I read it a while ago)

[white_riot]

Can anyone upload some songs off Sandinista for me, it would be greatly appreciated.

[CombatRock]

I don't live in America.

[guns_of_brixton]

In the early 90's Mick almost died of chicken pox.

And to comment on Paul's watch, it was stopped at 10:40 or something.

[CombatRock]

any other instersting facts, that we dont already know?


whiteriot did that link work for you?

[white_riot]

i will give you the link fool

Could you please not call me a fool and thankyou.

[CombatRock]

:p

[white_riot]

Yeah it did, thanks.

[CombatRock]

sorry it was only 30 second clips but thats the only place i know where to get them.

[white_riot]

It doesn't matter, I haven't heard most of those songs so it was good to hear a bit of them. Junco Partner does sound like a good song. Whats with the little kids singing Career Opportunities.

[Forest_Fire]

:lol:


No one will ever know about that one.

[CombatRock]

well the clash liked little kids...uh...i guess. hm..



MICHEAL JACKSON!! ahhh

[white_riot]

lol, I don't think so.

[EightMilesHigh]

I'm going to try to find Westway To The World sometime soon.

[CombatRock]

get it, its so great.


anyone have Viva Joe Strummer, if so whats it about?

[Coma_Girl]

In the early 90's Mick almost died of chicken pox.

And to comment on Paul's watch, it was stopped at 10:40 or something.
what is chiken pox? :confused:

that's what I heard too for the watch...I dont remember the exact time, but it broke when he smashed the bass, so he knew exactly at what time he smashed it. I think it was 10:15

[guns_of_brixton]

Chickenpox=a rash type of thing with little red bumps that usually only kids get, but it can be deadly for adults.

Oh, and I won't be here for like 9 days (until the 20th) so keep it real motherf'uckers!

[Canadian-Guy]

Oh, and I won't be here for like 9 days (until the 20th) so keep it real motherf'uckers!

Will do, I'm stuffed to the brim with useless Joe Strummer information.

[CombatRock]

same here sean, im going to be gone allot on vactions. but hopefully the hotels will have computers. i leave monday.

[white_riot]

That would be cool if the Hotel Room had a computer, I have never had a computer when I stay in Hotels.

what is chiken pox?

Don't Canadians get Chicket Pox.

[guns_of_brixton]

I'm not leaving until tomorrow :D.

And I forgot all of my Clash cds to bring with :upset:.

While I'm gone I want everyone to listen to Junco Parter and tell how you like it.

[white_riot]

I hope you have a good trip.

NP - All in a Day.

I love that song. I was listening to my Meskies C.D last night and I realised how awesome Ramshackle Day Parade is, that song is brilliant.

[EightMilesHigh]

To whoever was uploading it: Is that Mescaleroes CD done yet? If so, I didn't see it in the YSI thread.

[Forest_Fire]

I got bored and used the artpad thing from the pop punk forum to make an album cover.

Can anyone guess what is it? It's hard... :eek:

I heard it in the last James Bond film. Right before Joe died.

[CombatRock]

The Clash was in a 007 movie?

[guns_of_brixton]

I once heard London Calling on Friends.

[Canadian-Guy]

The Clash was in a 007 movie?

In Die Another Day. He's on the airplane flying to London, and the song London Calling starts playing.

[white_riot]

London Calling is also in the film what a girl wants and Rock The Casbah was on The Simpsons in one episode.

[EightMilesHigh]

London Calling is also in the film what a girl wants and Rock The Casbah was on The Simpsons in one episode.

And I hear Should I Stay Or Should I Go? in a Levi's ad.

[Coma_Girl]

i'm going to New York for a trip with the enriched english class in october (even if we wont be at this school anymore, just cause the teacher likes us) and I wanna go see the mural of Joe...I need to know where it is, so I can convince the teacher (who likes the clash) to go there. I NEED to go there...it's like...really important for me. So I hope the teacher will understand that.

[guns_of_brixton2]

In King of the Hill that crazy asian guy (Con, I think that's his name.) was singing Rock the Casbah at a lawnmower focus group :lol:.

It's in the East Village (Manhattan).

im going to New York in 3 years, and im going to the mural, tell me how you like it andy.

[TheJackOfHearts]

And I hear Should I Stay Or Should I Go? in a Levi's ad....rock.

[guns_of_brixton2]

I am going to get Sandinista!, and I think I'll end up liking it more than everything besides London Calling.

[white_riot]

I don't think so.

[guns_of_brixton2]

Well, Junco Partner=amazing.

[white_riot]

I have this C.D called Street Rats, it has live and demo's and stuff like that on it and I didn't realise that it has a live version of Junco Partner on there from the Jamacian Music Festival. It sounds good.

[guns_of_brixton2]

I've heard that cd and I was downloading it on slsk but it wasn't working, and the only file that worked was Junco Partner. If I remember to ask you, could you put that cd up in like a week?

[white_riot]

I'll put it in the Lets Get Physical thread, maybe tommorrow but my computer is pretty crap, so I don't know if it will work. I'll try though.

[Iron Bug]

Yo, Coma Girl. Yeah all I have is Streetcore, I want more but something else always catches my eye when im at the store. Which album should I get next?

[Coma_Girl]

global a go-go, AWESOME songs on it.

[Iron Bug]

Much thanks hon.

[EightMilesHigh]

In King of the Hill that crazy asian guy (Con, I think that's his name.) was singing Rock the Casbah at a lawnmower focus group :lol:.

That's insane :lol:

Does anyone know what happened to Keith Levene after he got kicked out of The Clash?

[Coma_Girl]

That's insane :lol:

Does anyone know what happened to Keith Levene after he got kicked out of The Clash?
He was in the car the lamborghini guy crashed. They both died.

[EightMilesHigh]

He was in the car the lamborghini guy crashed. They both died.

Wow...I didn't know he had actually died. That sucks :upset:

[Coma_Girl]

Wow...I didn't know he had actually died. That sucks :upset:
:lol: it was a joke...if you read from page 4, you can see that the lamborghini guy is not our favorite drummer of all time...and we keep making jokes about him crashing his lamborghini. And I dont know what happenned to Keith after the clash...

[guns_of_brixton2]

I'll put it in the Lets Get Physical thread, maybe tommorrow but my computer is pretty crap, so I don't know if it will work. I'll try though.

Thanks mucho :thumb:.

Haha, all of those LG jokes are classic :lol:.

I think that Keith was in some band with some former Sex Pistols, I believe. And I didn't know until a little while ago that he wrote (or at least helped write) What's My Name.

[EightMilesHigh]

:lol: it was a joke...if you read from page 4, you can see that the lamborghini guy is not our favorite drummer of all time...and we keep making jokes about him crashing his lamborghini. And I dont know what happenned to Keith after the clash...

Whoa...that's a relief :lol:

/me does some research on Keith Levene

After The Clash, he worked with Sid Vicious. When he went to the Sex Pistols, and then died, Johnny Rotten and Keith worked on Public Image Limited. He continued to work with other punk bands, before starting a band with Glen Matlock in the late '90s. That folded, and now he works on a website called Missing Channel, as a "creative outlet."

The more you know....

[guns_of_brixton2]

Ha, I was right!

And I posted first :D.

[Coma_Girl]

whats the link to the website hes working on?

[EightMilesHigh]

whats the link to the website hes working on?

I typed it in, and the "domain had expired."

Huh. I dunno what the official name of the site is.

[Coma_Girl]

I just read somewhere that the mescaleros were on the warped tour in 2001 or something :confused: aaaaaaaaaah!

[white_riot]

Are you serious?

[Coma_Girl]

yeah

[white_riot]

There was this thing going on in the Songwriting Forum, best 100 Proffesional Songwriters of all time and Joe got third.

[Forest_Fire]

Who were the ones above him?

[TheJackOfHearts]

Dylan won (as he should have) and Lennon/McCartney were second.

[Forest_Fire]

Where was Cash?



I thought Paul Simonon was #98 for a minute...

[TheJackOfHearts]

Wasn't in it.

[guns_of_brixton]

There was this thing going on in the Songwriting Forum, best 100 Proffesional Songwriters of all time and Joe got third.

Thats awesome. I'm going to find that thread.

[TheJackOfHearts]

It's the top sticky in S & L.

[Forest_Fire]

http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/showpost.php?p=8238356&postcount=35

[guns_of_brixton]

Yea, I found it. I think they should have had it as Strummer/Jones though.

[TheJackOfHearts]

That's what I thought. The right person won though. I'm pretty sure Joe's a Dylan fan as he refers to Desolation Row in Coma Girl.

[guns_of_brixton]

That's what I thought. The right person won though. I'm pretty sure Joe's a Dylan fan as he refers to Desolation Row in Coma Girl.

I agree with Dylan winning, but I would easily put Joe ahead of Lennon and McCartney.

And who doesn't like at least one Bob Dylan song? The Hurricane is my favorite, and its a good movie as well. But this is the Clash thread, so I'll stop...

[TheJackOfHearts]

I can't pick a favourite Dylan song but Desolation Row is definitely up there.

[EightMilesHigh]

Dylan won (as he should have) and Lennon/McCartney were second.

I gotta say, that's a damn good list. Three of my all-time favorites.

But I can't believe they left out Johnny Cash, but kept that little Oberst bitch.

[Fabz]

There was this thing going on in the Songwriting Forum, best 100 Proffesional Songwriters of all time and Joe got third.

if you're talking about conor oberst from bright eyes, he's pretty good and i lile him a lot...but yeah, i like johnny cash more.

In LFHTH, Joe said that he was a big fan of Dylan.

edit: chris carrabba from dashboard confessional is there **throwing up**
and Geoff Rickly is there :D

[Coma_Girl]

from the punks vs reagan thread.

Not just punks hated him. Lot's of people did. And punk back then had liberal politics, in general. Perhaps if for no other reason then if you were anti establishment, you were anti Repubublican. Just like today. The Clash were straight out Communist in there political leanings and made no bones about it. And if you were a punk back then, just as now, why on earth would you support that dickhead Reagan any more then you want to support dickhead Bush? They go hand in hand.
your thoughts?

[EightMilesHigh]

from the punks vs reagan thread.


your thoughts?
Joe was a reddie! :eek:

I don't see any Communist....stuff in their lyrics. I see some passionate political lyrics, but nothing that could be conscrued (sp?) as Communist.

[Forest_Fire]

I don't think they meant evil Soviet communism, but communism as in the idea that everybody is equal

[Coma_Girl]

dustin is back!:D
socialism, yeah. communism, not really. Except that Joe said he's been influenced a lot by Karl Marx. And I think he said in Westway that at the beginning they had a Stalinist attitude.oh well...

[CombatRock]

yea, i think clash was more socialist than communist, but like dustin said, they clash belived in the theory of communist.



/off topic but i got streetcore :thumb:

[Coma_Girl]

whats your favorite song on streetcore, travis?

[Coma_Girl]

quote from travis :lol: about what's written on the booklet in streetcore
" joe is so random sometimes"

[CombatRock]

redemption song, but since it wasnt written by joe i will state my favroite one written by him, which would be Arms Aloft.

[CombatRock]

:amaze: Conan is the kind of late night now, this is why.

tonight on Conan this dude was on and they got on the topic of music an the guy stated talking about the stones and they guy asked conan were you a stones guy, and Conan replies "I was more of a Clash guy"


Conan>John Stewart>Kimmel>Leno>Letterman

[guns_of_brixton]

dustin is back!:D
socialism, yeah. communism, not really. Except that Joe said he's been influenced a lot by Karl Marx. And I think he said in Westway that at the beginning they had a Stalinist attitude.oh well...

Yea, in an interview I saw Joe said something like "If Karl Marx can't change the world, how can 4 guitarists from London?"

Conan liked the Clash? :thumb:

My favorite song on Streetcore is either... Get Down Moses, or maybe Silver and Gold.

[sketchyjoe]

I like Coma Girl just because of the Dylan reference.

[guns_of_brixton]

I never noticed that, so I'm going to try and find it.

And has anyone listened to Junco Partner yet??

[sketchyjoe]

And then the nineteenth hour was falling upon desolation row
some outlaw band, had the last drop on the go
lets siphon up some gas!! lets get this show on the road!!
said the coma girl, to the excitement gang
Into action , everybody sprang
and the oil drums were beating out, doolang, doolang

[guns_of_brixton]

Johnny didn't drink a lot either

or do drugs

Johnny? The kid from the Outsiders?

from the ramones?

From the hood?

Well I have never acually watched his show before but he must be cool.

[CombatRock]

Page 4 :lol:

and this is a clash thread? :cool:

i listend to 30 seconds of Junco Partner and liked it, i didnt get to listen to the whole thing, it only had clips of it. its the song from the beginning of essential clash dvd right?

[white_riot]

I have only heard a live version of Junco Partner.

[CombatRock]

i dont know if i said it but when i went to this record store, were i got my Meskie cd, they had lots of Clash vinyl, GEER, Sandinista, Story of the Clash ect.. but they were all over $30, i was going to get Sandinista but it was $45, i dont think joe would want his records sold for $45!

[white_riot]

It was $45.00. Thats not very cheap. At this one store Sandinista is $27.00 on C.D. I agree Joe definetly would not stand for that.

[CombatRock]

yea, i see Sandinista being more expensive than others, its 2 cds, and on vinyl its 3. but $45 is rideculous (sp)

[sketchyjoe]

The Clash agreed not to take any royalties for the album so it could be sold at the normal price.

[Coma_Girl]

redemption song, but since it wasnt written by joe i will state my favroite one written by him, which would be Arms Aloft.
I don't like Arms Aloft that much. My favorite is Get Down Moses and Ramshacle Day Parade and I think Burning Streets.

Page 4 :lol:
Page 4 was a funny page. :p

[EightMilesHigh]

yea, i see Sandinista being more expensive than others, its 2 cds, and on vinyl its 3. but $45 is rideculous (sp)

$45 for one album? I love The Clash more than oxygen, but that's ridiculous.

[Forest_Fire]

It's 36 songs.



But still.... dayum

[CombatRock]

oxygen>clash>water.

i think im going to ask for Sandinista on vinyl for christmas. that way i dont have to buy it.

[Coma_Girl]

Yeah, 45$ is way too expensive. They wouldn't agree with this price at all. I saw Sandinista! for 22$ CAN here.

[guns_of_brixton]

listend to 30 seconds of Junco Partner and liked it, i didnt get to listen to the whole thing, it only had clips of it. its the song from the beginning of essential clash dvd right?

They play a few different songs at the beginning of the dvd, and Junco is one of them.

And I think at some point (maybe after Joe died) that they started selling the records at normal price. I would pay $24 for Sandinista (thats how much it is at Best Buy). Think about it: it might sound like alot, but 36 songs for $24 is better than 10 songs for $12 (GEER).

But I think I the clash had thir way they would give their music away for free. They just wanted people to hear it.

[Coma_Girl]

that's something I always liked about them...They werent doing it for the money, they really had something to say. They deserve respect from everybody for what they did for LC and Sandinista

[EightMilesHigh]

But I think I the clash had thir way they would give their music away for free. They just wanted people to hear it.

They did, they just wanted to get their music out there.

I saw Sandinista! for $22 CAN

You're Canadian? Whereabouts?

[Coma_Girl]

They did, they just wanted to get their music out there.



You're Canadian? Whereabouts?
im from montreal.you?

[sketchyjoe]

Oh no, not another ****ing Canadian circle jerk.

That is very true. :cool:

Yea, but unfortunately for them they were in debt bacause of it.

[Forest_Fire]

it's gay how yalla yalla is 28, it's one of the best song ever.

I was thinking that too.



I really really want to hear their covers. They cover A message to you rudy, and a ramones song.

[Coma_Girl]

they did a lot of clash covers live too

[CombatRock]

it's gay how yalla yalla is 28, it's one of the best song ever.

The saddest thing I ever read was when Mick and Joe played White Riot for the last time and right before they started, Joe called out, "this one's in A, ya know".

I wish I was there to see that :upset:.

:upset: yeah, that's sad. Everytime I read about it, I don't know if I should smile or cry. Cause it's cute.

I wish I was there to see that too. Or any Meskies show. My biggest regret is that they came to Montreal in 2001, and I didnt go. awww.

Did Joe knew Mick would join him on stage that day??

[guns_of_brixton]

I don't know if Joe knew... I like to think not. It makes for a better story :).

[Coma_Girl]

I don't know if Joe knew... I like to think not. It makes for a better story :).
true :amaze:


sooooooooooo cute.

[CombatRock]

andy, some were on the internet there is a whole live set of the meskies playing, have you seen it?

[guns_of_brixton]

andy, some were on the internet there is a whole live set of the meskies playing, have you seen it?

I wanna see that.

[CombatRock]

idk were i got it at, just search the fourms, i saw it here. it was so badass!!!!!

[guns_of_brixton]

I saw some Meskies live thing, and Andy said it sucked and Joe looked old. I don't remember it being that bad though.

[EightMilesHigh]

GEER is quickly becoming my second favorite Clash album.

[guns_of_brixton]

GEER is quickly becoming my second favorite Clash album.

I think Sandinista will become my new favorite.

[EightMilesHigh]

I've been seriously thinking about Sandinista! lately, whether I wanna get it. I mean, it is The Clash...but I've heard many different things about it.

[guns_of_brixton]

http://artpad.art.com/?ii8kc21h7fh8

I wonder what that is?

[Coma_Girl]

I saw some Meskies live thing, and Andy said it sucked and Joe looked old. I don't remember it being that bad though.
It wasn't bad...it was...different? I don't know...I watched Get Down Moses and it wasn't like on the album at all. It's not really why I didn't like it. I just dont like to see people I love so much being old

I've been seriously thinking about Sandinista! lately, whether I wanna get it. I mean, it is The Clash...but I've heard many different things about it.
Joe said he liked Sandinista! the way it is. I haven't heard the whole album yet, but it sounds good anyway

[EightMilesHigh]

http://artpad.art.com/?ii8kc21h7fh8

I wonder what that is?

I love the facial expressions :lol:

[guns_of_brixton]

I love the facial expressions :lol:

Haha, I gave Paul some blonde hair but then I erased it because it looked like a halo.

[CombatRock]

why is one frowing?

[guns_of_brixton]

Paul is frowning because he didn't want to sing about pensions.

[guns_of_brixton]

F'uck! I just made a really good Sandinista painting and I lost the link!

[Coma_Girl]

Paul is frowning because he didn't want to sing about pensions.
:lol: :lol: :lol:
"i'm not gonna sing about pensions!"

[white_riot]

I've been seriously thinking about Sandinista! lately, whether I wanna get it. I mean, it is The Clash...but I've heard many different things about it.

Same here. My money is limited and there are so many albums I want to but so I don't no if I should get it either. I'm thinking of getting Super Black Market Clash next.

[CombatRock]

F'uck! I just made a really good Sandinista painting and I lost the link!

do it again, your paintings are beauftiful :rolleyes: .

[white_riot]

Last night I heard this Big Audio Dynamite song, it wasn't that good but I have heard some other songs by them and I liked them. I swear Paul was in the video but I doubt it was him. Does anyone have any of their C.Ds?

[CombatRock]

i dont own any of there cds. i saw some of there vinyl at that record shop i went to. but i heard about 5 songs by them on XM satallite radio. there not good at all IMO.

[white_riot]

C'mon there not that bad. They have quite a different and unique sound to them I think.

[guns_of_brixton]

I saw Sandinista at a mall today for $27, waaaaay too much. I also saw that unreleased 101ers cd, and it had Junco Partner on it! If my brother woulda lent me $3 I could've got it :upset:.

And I think I'll redo that Sandinista painting for you Travis :D.

I've never heard BAD, or Havana 3 AM. I want to though.

[CombatRock]

yea, kinda techno-ish. i didnt like it that much. i was expecting better from mick since joes post clash band is amazing, i thought micks would be up to it, but nope.

[Coma_Girl]

I heard 2 or 3 songs by BAD and it wasnt bad. And it's possible that Paul was in the video, cause I think he worked with BAD for a while...or maybe it was Joe...I don't remember.

[guns_of_brixton]

I bet Havana 3am sounds like reggae.

[Forest_Fire]

I bet it's good. It has to be good. Paul Simonon is in it.


EDIT: I'm listening to them on allmusic now. It's not bad, but not something I would regularly listen to

[guns_of_brixton]

What does it sound like? And does Paul sing?

I'm going to find out for myself.

[Forest_Fire]

http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&token=ADFEAEE47819DE46A57E20E5A11C45C7A061F705D263 D3800D294D5DC89713068E027BFD6BD698A9B5A906B235A9E0 2FA3450DD3CAEB1AFBD6653B378CEDB60045&uid=MIW050506171936&sql=11:1e831vajzzza~T3

[CombatRock]

I bet Havana 3am sounds like reggae.

of course, paul is the frontman, what else would it be :p

[white_riot]

I heard 2 or 3 songs by BAD and it wasnt bad. And it's possible that Paul was in the video, cause I think he worked with BAD for a while...or maybe it was Joe...I don't remember.

I think that was Joe. I think he helped with the songwriting.

[CombatRock]

they needed the help.



/im dissing them to much, now i feel bad.

[CombatRock]

i just relilzed how sad Silver and Gold was. at the end of the song when joe says "k thats a take", thats the last time he ever spoke on a cd! it makes me so sad.

[sketchyjoe]

I'e always thought it's pretty sad, as he's talking about growing old and stuff.

[guns_of_brixton]

I'm going back to that same mall today... maybe I'll buy that 101ers thing... or maybe they'll have Havana 3 am... I don't know. I'll get something though.

[EightMilesHigh]

I heard that Joe did the soundtrack for Sid & Nancy the other day.

[guns_of_brixton]

I think heonly did a few songs, but that's what I've heard since I never saw the movie.

[EightMilesHigh]

I think heonly did a few songs, but that's what I've heard since I never saw the movie.

You're not missing much, it's not that good.

[white_riot]

Joe did a couple of songs on there. Guns of brixton my computer is to slow to upload that c.d. it will take ages. Is there any specific songs you wanted off the c.d.

[guns_of_brixton]

Uhhh, maybe just one or two of the songs Joe did, thanks.

My name is Sean, by the way :).

[CombatRock]

we know.


you mall has havana 3.am stuff. thats awesome.

[white_riot]

Are you goning to buy it?

[CombatRock]

i just heard BAD again. uh.. not so good. again.

[white_riot]

You really don't like them do you? Mick looks kinda gay in two of their video's

[CombatRock]

yea not at all. mick always had that high pitched voice.

[white_riot]

I was reading somewhere that Sir Bob Geldolf said that The Clash were sh'it. What a wanker.

Irish rocker SIR BOB GELDOF has accused his former contemporaries THE CLASH of being a s**t band who faked their punk image.

The ex-BOOMTOWN RATS star is still bitter the SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO hitmakers came to epitomise the serious punk revolution in late 1970s Britain, while his band were marginalised.

Geldof rages, "The Clash had outfits designed for them. But somehow they were supposed to have more integrity? Why? This ersatz passion was just b**locks.

"I didn't like their records until LONDON CALLING (1979 album). I said 99 per cent of the music is s**t and I was right. It hasn't survived.

"All that 'Hey right! The revolution!' tripe drove me mad! F**k off, you c**t. JOE (STRUMMER) and MICK (JONES) wanted to be MICK (JAGGER) and KEITH (RICHARDS)!

"Plain as f**king day! Yet we were frozen out."

[sketchyjoe]

Bob Geldof is a nob.

[EightMilesHigh]

Bob Geldof is a nob.

He really is. He's kinda like Bono, in the Yeah-he's-done-a-lot-for-charity-but-that-doesn't-stop-him-from-being-an-idiot way.

[Coma_Girl]

You're not missing much, it's not that good.
I love that movie. I bought it on DVD. And Joe did almost all the songs with the pogues. Love Kills, the last song in the movie is awesome.

He really is. He's kinda like Bono, in the Yeah-he's-done-a-lot-for-charity-but-that-doesn't-stop-him-from-being-an-idiot way.
I hate hate hate hate hate Bono.

[guns_of_brixton]

i just heard BAD again. uh.. not so good. again.

At least it (probably) doesn't suck as much as Rise by the Bad Brains. What a terrible piece of crap :angry:. I should've f'ucking got the US Bombs cd :angry:.

[Coma_Girl]

or a clash/mescaleros/101ers/BAD/havana 3 am cd....

[CombatRock]

would any of yall but this. if they made this, IF.

and compliation of everyclash song, 101er song, BAD song, Meskie song, and havana 3am? even if it was a + $100.

[EightMilesHigh]

That sounds like a deal.

[CombatRock]

they should really make it, i sure as hell would buy it.



/if i had money :(

[wileycoyote]

the clash rock

[(r)evolution]

the clash rock

as much as that's true and as much as you are f'ucking right
it has already been established

[Coma_Girl]

would any of yall but this. if they made this, IF.

and compliation of everyclash song, 101er song, BAD song, Meskie song, and havana 3am? even if it was a + $100.
hmm..no. i'd buy all the clash/101ers/BAD/havana 3 am cd if I had money. I already have all the mescaleros ones though. I'd like to buy the live album of the mescaleros show where MIck joined Joe...but I don't have money. I keep getting emails from the strummerville site telling me to buy it. aahhhhh. I want money

[guns_of_brixton]

I would get the Clash/Meskies/BAD/Havana 3am/101ers thing, that way I would'nt have to go hunting around for everything. But it would'nt include the-album-that-must-never-be-named.

[white_riot]

That C.D would be great if it was affordable for us poor bastards.

[guns_of_brixton]

That C.D would be great if it was affordable for us poor bastards.

Yea, I need a job, or rich friends :). But the compilation of all of that music would be like... 20 discs. :amaze:

[white_riot]

True that. 20 discs is a hell of alot. Nearly more c.ds then I already have.

[guns_of_brixton]

It would be cool if it came in some giant display box thing and had some posters with it.

[white_riot]

Posters would be cool but then they would probally add another $20.00.

[sketchyjoe]

Has anyone realised how crushingly banal this discussion is?

[CombatRock]

dont use big words! what does banal mean?

[sketchyjoe]

Trite.

[CombatRock]

trite? use smaller words.

[sketchyjoe]

One syllable not small enough for you?

[CombatRock]

It would be cool if it came in some giant display box thing and had some posters with it.

we should make a bootleg one of somthing of this and get some money. :thumb:

[EightMilesHigh]

But it would'nt include the-album-that-must-never-be-named.

Are the initials of said album C.T.C.?

[white_riot]

indeed it is. I was watching Westaway yesterday and I was listening to one of the songs on the album that must never be named and it was pretty crap.

[Coma_Girl]

I would get the Clash/Meskies/BAD/Havana 3am/101ers thing, that way I would'nt have to go hunting around for everything. But it would'nt include the-album-that-must-never-be-named.
where's the fun of getting all these cds if they're easy to find? I like when I have to look for a cd for months.

indeed it is. I was watching Westaway yesterday and I was listening to one of the songs on the album that must never be named and it was pretty crap.
I'm pretty sure that they're not talking about CTC at all in Westway. It's not even in the discography...cause it wasnt really one of their glorious moment. hum.

[EightMilesHigh]

where's the fun of getting all these cds if they're easy to find? I like when I have to look for a cd for months.


Same here. I also don't like to plan what I'm buying, I just like browsing.

[Teenage.Angst]

does anyone have the cd of clash's Cut the crap? whats your opinion of it? My friend has it he says it isn't good

[EightMilesHigh]

does anyone have the cd of clash's Cut the crap? whats your opinion of it? My friend has it he says it isn't good

It's the album that must not be named. Supposedly it sucks, but I haven't heard it.

[Daniel!]

What do you guys think of Give Em Enough Rope? I hear lots of people say that it ain't so good, but I think its great. It has some of my favorite songs. Stay Free is one of my favorite Clash songs.

EDIT: I HAVE FINALLY PASSED 200 POSTS!

[guns_of_brixton]

I like GEER, not my favorite, but good.

Uhhhh, and as for bootlegs I have some on slsk, or I could probably post them in the YSI thread. But probably not tommorrow, I'm sick and I feel like s'hit :upset:.

[Teenage.Angst]

It's the album that must not be named. Supposedly it sucks, but I haven't heard it.

yeah, i hear it's their worst so i never did buy it.

[Coma_Girl]

"None of us is going to change anything. Everyone goes "Punk! Hurrah!" But in three years time what do you think I'm going to be doing? What do you think the guys who buy our singles are going to be doing?? I'll still be walking around muttering to myself. They are still going to be shovelling **** down some old chute and maybe with their wages they'll buy The Clash's fourth album. Rock doesn't change anything." -Joe Strummer

[white_riot]

I'm pretty sure that they're not talking about CTC at all in Westway. It's not even in the discography...cause it wasnt really one of their glorious moment. hum.

Give em Enough Rope is a great album.

[EightMilesHigh]

It's a pity The Clash never put out more singles. All I hear on the radio is "London Calling," "I Fought The Law", "Rock The Casbah", and "Should I Stay Or Should I Go."

[white_riot]

NP - Bankrobber.

[Rise Me Up]

NP - Bankrobber.


GREAT song.

[mullets suk]

It's a pity The Clash never put out more singles. All I hear on the radio is "London Calling," "I Fought The Law", "Rock The Casbah", and "Should I Stay Or Should I Go."

your right. those songs do get tiring after a while. i don't mind cause the clash is the best band ever

[white_riot]

Well I could listen to I Fought The Law for ages and never get sick of it.

[EightMilesHigh]

Well I could listen to I Fought The Law for ages and never get sick of it.

That and "White Man In Hammersmith Palais" are my two favorites song off their debut. Such a fun song.

[white_riot]

I don't have the US Version. I only have the UK version.

[Daniel!]

I don't have the US Version. I only have the UK version.

Me too. What tracks are different?

[sketchyjoe]

[white_riot]

I wish I had the US one too. I fought the Law, White man in hammersmith palais and clash city rockers are such awesome songs.

[Daniel!]

I wish I had the US one too. I fought the Law, White man in hammersmith palais and clash city rockers are such awesome songs.

I have those anyways because a few years ago I bought my first Clash album which was a greattest hits. It's called The Singles or something.

[EightMilesHigh]

I have the U.S. version. I'd like to hear the U.K. version, but I wouldn't wanna pay full price for it.

white riot, next time you're in R & M, check the YSI thread, that Iggy Pop song is up.

[sketchyjoe]

The US version has some better tracks (White Man, I Fought The Law etc) but it's not as choesive an album as the UK version.

[Brain Toad]

Janie Jones is a better opening song. I have the UK version, but both on my computer.

[sketchyjoe]

Janie Jones is a better opening song.
True. And the album as a whole flows better.

[ledpoisoning27]

"(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais" makes the US version a lot better. It is one of, if not the most, political song ever to be written by them.

[sketchyjoe]

"(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais" makes the US version a lot better. It is one of, if not the most, political song ever to be written by them.
It's a song about unity based on going to a reggae concert and being the only white person there. It's by no means their most political.

[Daniel!]

I'd say some of their more political songs are Complete and Remote Control.

[Rise Me Up]

I'd say some of their more political songs are Complete and Remote Control.


And Know your Rights.

[Canadian-Guy]

And Know your Rights.

Know Your Rights, for sure. Clampdown, too.

[sketchyjoe]

I'd say some of their more political songs are Complete and Remote Control.
Complete Control is about their record company. It's not that political.
