The Official Clash & Joe Strummer Thread

[White Riot!]

Capitial Radio One is a very political song

[Aeaon]

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


I hear it's pretty bad. Joe Strummer didn't even consider it to be called a Clash album.

[white_riot]

The Clash had many political songs and very good songs may I add, that taught me alot of things and made me a far more knowledgeable and better person at that.

[guns_of_brixton]

The US version doesn't flow very well at all. It should end with Complete Control.

The most political Clash song is either The Magnificent Seven or Clampdown. There are probably others that I'm forgetting or aren't as good.

[CombatRock]

yesssssss im back. did yall miss me?

on my "camping trip" i discoverd i love Streetcore. i like evey single song on it.

[guns_of_brixton]

We missed you :chug:. I felt like using that smiley. It doesn't get used enough.

I finally bothered to learn Career Opportunities on guitar. I reccomend everyone who owns a guitar to learn it because its really easy and fun.

[EightMilesHigh]

I want to learn "Tommy Gun."

[white_riot]

Awesome, I have always wanted to learn Tommy Gun. I'm not very good but I'll check out Career Opportunities and try to play it.

[Daniel!]

yesssssss im back. did yall miss me?

on my "camping trip" i discoverd i love Streetcore. i like evey single song on it.


I just bought that album a few days ago. That album is reaaaly good.

[guns_of_brixton]

I want to learn "Tommy Gun."

Fairly easy as well.

[Daniel!]

I want to learn "Tommy Gun."

I can pretty much play any Clash song I set my mind on. But then again I'm a drummer and thier a punk band, so it's not very hard. Especially Clampdown.

[sketchyjoe]

The US version doesn't flow very well at all. It should end with Complete Control.
Garageland is the perfect finisher to their s/t.

That's one of the few things the US got right with the track order.

[Coma_Girl]

I just bought that album a few days ago. That album is reaaaly good.
it's too good. I can't believe it was Joe's last album ever. It's sad...It's so great that for a while I was listening to Streetcore everyday and it was pretty much the only music I could stand...but the sad thing is that I got sick of it after 2 or 3 weeks. Global is a great cd too

[guns_of_brixton]

Garageland is the perfect finisher to their s/t.

That's one of the few things the US got right with the track order.

I would've liked it to end with Complete Control, but I still like Garageland.

I hate how the US one starts with Clash City Rockers.

[sketchyjoe]

Janie Jones is a much better opener.

[guns_of_brixton]

Yea, it is.

And I was just listening to that album and I decided that G arageland is a much better finisher.

[CombatRock]

Train in Vain is not a good finisher either.

[Daniel!]

Train in Vain is not a good finisher either.

Ya, I always thought that too. But I can't think of the album ending with anything else.

[CombatRock]

Silver and Gold is the perfect ending to Joes live, and a good ending to the album.

[white_riot]

Train in Vain is not a good finisher either.

I think Train in Vain is a great finisher to London Calling. What other song could finish it.

[EightMilesHigh]

I think Train in Vain is a great finisher to London Calling. What other song could finish it.

Yeah, that's a good song.

np: Safe European Home

[white_riot]

Thats a good opening song to Give Em Enough Rope. And All the Young Punks is a good finish.

[CombatRock]

London Calling is a perfect beginning but. the song gets old after a while.

[Brain Toad]

Janie Jones is a much better opener.

I've said this before.

Janie Jones was the first Clash song I pretty much heard (besides the hits) and it made me like them. Then I went out and bought the album.

[Brain Toad]

Anyone ever listen to This is Rockabilly Clash? I'm listening to the cover of Guns of Brixton and it is pretty good.

[sketchyjoe]

That's a pretty good album.

[guns_of_brixton]

I read some review thing of GEER and the person said that the order of the songs on the album was perfect.

And does anyone have This is Rockabilly Clash on slsk?

[AGAINSTME!'sbass]

Dude
It was good. no one can describe Joe Strummer in something that short. You did a better job than i could.

RIP JOE

[Brain Toad]

[theHendrixExperience]

So i was thinking about the Warped tour this year and i wonder how people got the idea of punk so misconstrued into thinking that that corprate sponored pop festival is punk. it really makes me wonder ,where have you gone joe strummer?

[sketchyjoe]

He's dead. Didn't you get the memo?

[Canadian-Guy]

He's dead. Didn't you get the memo?

:lol:

[Coma_Girl]

[Coma_Girl]

today I went to a dairy queen for the first time in my life. so anyway, i wasnt hungry and my friends didnt want my ice cream so i wrote "I'm so bored with the usa" on a container in a parking lot with the ice cream (punk rawk :rolleyes: ). I know it sucks to waste ice cream, but we werent going to ate it anyway.

Punk rock \m/ \m/.

[guns_of_brixton]

My band is going to cover the Guns of Brixton. Yessssss.

[CombatRock]

Anyone ever heard of Bendoin Soundclash? i saw them at the warped tour, they were a reggae band, then halfway during the set there singers started talking about Joe and how much he was inspired by him, then they played a cover of guns of brixton.

[Daniel!]

My band is going to cover the Guns of Brixton. Yessssss.

If you get some good audio, post it.

[CombatRock]

maybe i can check out you band when im in Chicago.

i was planning to go see them, but now i HAVE to

[CombatRock]

if yall havent heard of Bedoiun SoundClash, listen to them there very good!!!!

[EightMilesHigh]

My band is going to cover the Guns of Brixton. Yessssss.

You need to post that when it's done.

[CombatRock]

defintly. you singing it sean?

[Forest_Fire]

Play a show when I go to chicago later in July so I can here it.




A while back I was going to suggest that we do something like the pop punk forum or the ac/dc thread in R&M and pick a clash song to cover. And then we figure who does bass and guitar and such, then we record it and upload it on YSI and someone puts them all together to make it complete.

But then I realized that those have never turned out good, and ours would probably be horrible

[guns_of_brixton]

You need to post that when it's done.

I definetly will.

defintly. you singing it sean?

I probably am, but I'm not sure because I might just play the bass because I already know it.

Play a show when I go to chicago later in July so I can here it.

Hey, maybe we will be playing a show later in July. If we are I'll let ya know :thumb:.


Maybe we could try that playing parts of songs and uploading thing, even if it ends up being crap.

[CombatRock]

Play a show when I go to chicago later in July so I can here it.




your going to Chicago too!, im going July 9-11, if you go then maybe we all can meet up ( you me and sean)

[Forest_Fire]

ha, maybe. I'm not 100% sure I'm going, and if I am going then I don't know when yet. My friends dad has to go there on some business thing, and I might be going with them.

[CombatRock]

that would be sweet if we all meet up and watch seans band play GoB.

[Forest_Fire]

Yeah, it would, but I don't think I'd be there till later in the month. Their family is on vacation from the 3rd to the 9th, so I think his dad wants to wait about a week or so before the business thing. I still haven't told my parents about this though, so I may not be going at all... :upset:

[guns_of_brixton]

And I don't think my band will have any shows at that point, since we just started practicing alot when summer started.

[Coma_Girl]

hum hum

[SlappedByTheClash]

welcome to this thread.
That guy is gonna have fun in here.


Anyone picked up the 101ers album yet?


I listened to most of the songs, and surprise! it's freakin' fantastic.


Ah, it's good to see Joe is still dominating the Punk forum. :D

[CombatRock]

i dont think that guy has posted since i said welcome haha.

i heard some of there songs, i dont think im going to buy the cd.

[SlappedByTheClash]

i dont think that guy has posted since i said welcome haha.

i heard some of there songs, i dont think im going to buy the cd.
*Screams in a girly voice*


But it's Joe! I'd buy it even if it was a steaming pile of crap.


Well, maybe not. The *ahem* "Record that can't be named" is something I would never spend money on.

[Forest_Fire]

You would buy Joe's poo?



edit: Nevermind, I read that wrong

[SlappedByTheClash]

You would buy Joe's poo?



edit: Nevermind, I read that wrong

I don't know if there's any fan out there THAT hardcore.

[EightMilesHigh]

Well, maybe not. The *ahem* "Record that can't be named" is something I would never spend money on.

Same here. Combat Rock was still good, though.

[CombatRock]

well there is andy......:lol:



edit: to steves last comment.

[guns_of_brixton]

I've heard most of the 101ers album and I almost (and should've) bought it.

Oh, and the other day I heard a BAD song. Its the one that they play at the end of the movie Big Daddy. I KNEW it was Mick and I finally realized it was BAD. Sweetness.

[CombatRock]

so you liked BAD?

[guns_of_brixton]

I like the one song I heard. I could imagine it getting kinda boring though.

[CombatRock]

it does, i heard 4 or 5 songs. not good.

clash>meskies>101ers>BAD

[guns_of_brixton]

I still haven't heard Havana 3am.

[SlappedByTheClash]

it does, i heard 4 or 5 songs. not good.

clash>meskies>101ers>BAD

Yeah BAD are pretty bad.


Oh did you see that clever twist of a phrase there?


Yeah, I know old joke. Sue me, I don't get to come on here very often.

[guns_of_brixton]

Rush is the name of the BAD song I heard and it wasn't that bad. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

HA.

[SlappedByTheClash]

Rush is the name of the BAD song I heard and it wasn't that bad. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

HA.

Rush the band suck pretty BAD.


Ha!


You know in the Give Em The Boot movie Joe plays Rudi Can't Fail.

Honestly, I'd buy it just for that and US Bombs.

[guns_of_brixton]

So would I, and there are some other Joe songs on there.

And US Bombs is teh ****.

[SlappedByTheClash]

So would I, and there are some other Joe songs on there.

And US Bombs is teh ****.

They have a tribute for Joe doing Redemption Song.

And when it says on the Transplants song that "Joe" plays guitar, I wonder if it's the Strumma? That'd be pretty awesome.

[guns_of_brixton]

Teh Strumma? Sweetness.

I probably wont go out my way, but if I see Give 'em the Boot I'mma get it.

[CombatRock]

I still haven't heard Havana 3am.
i dont think anyone has.

[guns_of_brixton]

I think Dustin might've.

[guns_of_brixton]

Somebody do my forced listening and do Junco Partner! Please...?

[slartibartfast]

Hey everybody. I'm brand new here, so try to be nice! :]

For the last two days, I've been reading these 154 pages. Now I'm up-to-date and felt it would be fun joining you guys. I'd love to do some Clash-whoring with you.

And if someone is intersted, I got about 30 live-bootlegs and almost 7 gigs of video material for sharing on slsk and DC++.

[Forest_Fire]

well then... welcome

[AIRIC]

Well, if you have that much stuff, you'll fit right in with the Clash fanboys.

[guns_of_brixton]

Your bootleg collection>mine. I have like 3 :upset:.

Nah, not me anyway. I don't think Soulseek is that good actually, or maybe I'm just too dumb to really get it. I've got all my stuff from DC++ and www.thepiratebay.org (using BitTorrent). If you think it would be fun having some rare Clash-material, I really recommend you to check this out. Or I can find you either at Soulseek or DC++, and you can download from my user list.

Should I Stay.. is pretty easy and fun to play.

I'm listening to it right now, and I love the people screaming and singing along. The song makes me want to scream like a 12 years old girl at a simple plan show too. I'm sure The Pogues did more Clash covers...we just need to find them.

"Wooo Woo Woooo" :lol:


Thanks Sean

[CombatRock]

why havent you been on mx latley?

[Coma_Girl]

I've been flipping burgers to get money to buy more clash stuff.


I think my friends finally got tired of hearing how great Joe/The Clash/The Meskies were cause they suggested we could do a "burning-clash-cds" party. But I got at least one of my friend into The Clash and The Meskies. He told me "I should have listened to you the first time you told Joe Strummer was great. He was a ****ing genius." :D

[CombatRock]

you have only had your job for 3 days. you havent posed regulary in a long time.

[Coma_Girl]

I try to get a life. Cause I need a life aside from mx and the clash. I don't want to waste my youth on the internet and regret it later :p

[CombatRock]

i only get on mx when im home from doing stuff with my friends. i have a stupid crufew.

[slartibartfast]

I thought we could have some kind of competition about the best Clash-tunes from each album. I know it's (extremly) hard, but it'll give a hint about what some big fans of the Clash consider as their best music anyway. My idea is to list five songs from each album (you don't have to pick every album, but you have to pick five songs from those album you pick). When everyone who wants to join this have posted their list, I'll try to bring together a list with all points. D'amn, I'm ambitious! :]

No problem Andy and Brad, I <3 the Pogues.

And for the list of the 5 best from each album, is the #1 the best? Thats how I'll do it, in a little while.

And my mom is trying to make me get a job, so maybe I'll buy some Clash stuff :). No, **** that, it not worth the responsibility/waking up early.

[guns_of_brixton]

You know what's bullshit? The Clash won 1 Grammy Award and U2 has won 17. U2 has sold around 40 million albums compared to about 6 million for the Clash.

The Clash pwns U2 a billion times.

you know what? who cares about that ****. We all KNOW Joe Strummer and The Clash are better than U2. I can't think of one thing where U2 beat The Clash. Who cares if a bunch of idiots think Bono is a god.

****, I hate Bono. I hate him.

Jobs suck though, take it from this geezer.


I need to get paid to talk about Joe. :cool: Or just be lazy.


And to the new kid...Welcome! Clash bootlegs make you an instant star around here. And about the community thing, it's true, they need to have a Joe subforum.

I'm Steve, btw. But I believe Travis already introduced everyone.

Want me to upload it in YSI?

Haha a Clash tribute band would be awesome. I can play the Guns of Brixton on teh drums but I don't own a drumset :(. But there are no beavers in Texas so Andy would get lonely.

[guns_of_brixton]

Me and my band were playing the Guns of Brixton today and it sounded really f'ucking good.

Didn't record it yet, though :(.

[Forest_Fire]

Have you recorded anything yet?



I think I may be in a band that's actually going to get started!

Except, I'm the drummer and I've only played drums for a day. I've played bass for more than a year and I'm going to teach my best friend basslines I wrote so he can play bass. Then I'm going to get one of my friends who used to be in a ska band until he quit to play guitar. And a black guy to sing. I haven't told the guitarist or the black guy about the band yet, but at least I have a plan.

This should be in the community thread, but it's here becuase we might cover a clash song.

yeah.

I forgot to look up drum tabs for the clash, so I'll go do that now

[guns_of_brixton]

But I tell ya, teh Guns of Brixton was sounding uber sweet.

[Forest_Fire]

I just called it like I saw it.

Today we were talking about putting up a myspace for teh band. As odd as you might find it, we have a couple of songs that aren't absolute s'hit but no name yet.

But LETS PLAY ***** PING PONG!

[Forest_Fire]

Sadly, thats not the first time someones told me to take the earhole. :upset:

[guns_of_brixton]

Yea, I really took charge and gave orders.

You see, I knew whoever took the p'enis would choke, and hey, me, Travis and you were too young to die. And I like teh tonsils :naughty:. I'm getting mine removed on Tuesday.

[Forest_Fire]

Mine were removed in first grade because I had some disease.



If andy were still alive, I'm sure she'd want us to talk about that clash.

[CombatRock]

[guns_of_brixton]

I wanted a new avatar, so I was like, why not steal Dustin's?

NP- Last Gang In Town

[Forest_Fire]

:upset:

I was so confused for a second. I kept reading posts that I knew I hadn't written but I still thought it was me.

I've been thinking of changing my avatar, so now might be a good time to do it. hmmm... secret squirrel? pinky and the brain? the tick? hmmm

[CombatRock]

[guns_of_brixton]

I've been playing the Should I Stay or Should I Go bassline all day, its so catchy.

[Coma_Girl]

I downloaded From Here To Eternity on slsk yesterday and it's great. I really like Mangificent 7. And he changed the lyrics so it's funny.

"News flash...from The Clash"
"I know this song is ****ing long...mwa mwa mwa mwa...mwa mwa (shut up)"

and I don't understand what else he's saying at the end of the song but it seems funny.

[guns_of_brixton]

I have From Here to Eternity 2 on slsk, if you want that, as well as a few songs from the NY Palladium show.

[Coma_Girl]

I have From Here to Eternity 2 on slsk, if you want that, as well as a few songs from the NY Palladium show.
never heard about FHTE2, but I sure want it.

[guns_of_brixton]

Its a bootleg, I'll go on right now.

[guns_of_brixton]

I love the beginning of the Guns of Brixton live at the Palladuim, Joe is talking about him and Paul switching guitars and then he says "Wait a minute...he's gonna fire the Guns of Brixton!"

[CombatRock]

aw. i dont have slsk, can you do that YSI thing for me.

[guns_of_brixton]

I don't have WinZip so I can't do the entire album. I'll do the song though.

[CombatRock]

yea, that would be cool. are you doing Guns of Brixton?

[guns_of_brixton]

[Coma_Girl]

there's something wrong with this thread.

[CombatRock]

the fact that you dont post in it anymore :p . is your job better than this thread :upset:

[Coma_Girl]

now, we post our favorite clash/meskies/101ers/joe/BAD lyrics and say why they are our favorite lyrics. WHY. go, discuss and dont ruin the thread, please.

[CombatRock]

we kinda did this for the 100th page. oh well. do a different song this time.

[Coma_Girl]

i try to save what's lef tof this thread so do it or shut up. :angry:


yeah, i'm back :cool:

[CombatRock]

maybe we should post are least fav clash/meskies/101ers/joe/BAD lyric since we already did favorite.

[Coma_Girl]

do whatever you want, as long as it's not ruining the thread. OKAY?

[CombatRock]

the thread is going good right now.

[Coma_Girl]

this is not what i call good.

so anyway, Love Kills is a great song. I don't know if you guys have heard it. It's at the end of Sid & nancy.

[CombatRock]

who is it by?

[Coma_Girl]

not the ramones one, the Joe Strummer one. It's easy...the good one. Different songs.

[CombatRock]

i dont know what you talking about? who is love kills by?

[Jessizzle]

I hate the song Love Kills, I did it for FL.

[slartibartfast]

Hmm, a lot of you made fun of Bono earlier. But shortly before Joe's death he was working with Bono on a song for a Nelson Mandela-campaign against AIDS in Africa. The song they co-wrote was called "46664", but as far as I know it has never been released anything from it. Joe had been scheduled to play a fundraising concert on Robben Island in February 2003.

Sure, you can't compare Bono with Joe but I don't think Joe would have liked seeing what you wrote about Bono. I think Bono deserves some kind of respect. He has often honoured Joe as one of the world's greatest ever. And, according to Bono himself, if he wouldn't have seen The Clash as a 17-year-old in Dublin, he probably wouldn't have been doing music. And if you've seen pictures from Clash-shows, you have probably seen that they often used pictures of riots and wars and such - which U2 are, according to themself, very inspired by (and used on their concerts too).

Hmm, maybe this wasn't interesting at all but I didn't know what to write.

[sketchyjoe]

It's says a lot about Bono that his name is an anagram of nobo.

[slartibartfast]

Coma_Girl (or Andy?)-> Why don't you make a list, and then can I put together all lists.

[guns_of_brixton]

"The Clash was what U2 wishes they could be." -Henry Rollins

[Coma_Girl]

Everybody knows I love Joe and everything he did. I have a LOT of respect for him...Okay, maybe he thought Bono was cool. But my love for Joe Strummer has a limit. Yeah, you heard me. Bono sucks no matter how much Joe and him worked together. Yeah, Bono said that without The Clash..blah blah blah blah. But he said the same about The Ramones when Johnny Ramone died. Maybe he's just trying to sound cool and punk rock?
And when you think about it, I'm sure there's a lot of bands (and better bands) who can say that without The Clash, they wouldn't exist. A lot of bands give to charity too. But they don't want to impress people with it.
Bono thinks that talking about justice and charity when you travel in a private jet is cool...

"I don't think Joe would have liked seeing what you wrote about Bono"
I don't think Jow would have liked seeing what we wrote about him in this thread. Too much attention and admiration and respect. He was too humble to accept it.

"And, according to Bono himself, if he wouldn't have seen The Clash as a 17-year-old in Dublin, he probably wouldn't have been doing music."
****...why did he see the clash?WHY??

[Silvermedalmafia]

Bono sucks, as does U2. Think about the new song vertigo, one, two, three, fourteen?

[Aeaon]

They're old stuff is good, but I strongly dislike their newer material.

[Clashed]

Concurd'.

Their old stuff was better. New, not as good.

[Aeaon]

Agreed.

[slartibartfast]

Okay Coma_Girl. I respect your opinions, and guess I share them quite a lot actually. Hmm, let's leave Bono and U2 now and focus on Joe and Clash. Have your view of Joe/Clash changed after listening to him/them so much for the last months, if so: how?

[Coma_Girl]

I just heard this girl on musique plus talking about mick jones. She said something like "And [I forgot the name but it was a crappy female rapper] worked with Mike Jones for her new album. Not Mick Jones, but Mike Jones."

im going to do the list tonight.

[CombatRock]

"The Clash was what U2 wishes they could be." -Henry Rollins

i give HR allot of respect for that. and bono is stupid, im not going to give him respect just cos he liked the clash.

[EightMilesHigh]

U2 had some amazing ballads back in the '80s. They started to decline in the '90s...now they just suck.

[CombatRock]

im preety sure they always sucked. but this isnt a u2 discussion thread.

/thank god.

[guns_of_brixton]

Andy did you like Junco Partner?

[CombatRock]

i did, atleast the 30 secs i heard of it. yes i know im not andy.

[guns_of_brixton]

Here's the whole thing.

http://s34.yousendit.com/d.aspx?id=09QPUGUVPC6493UMCM5H1EQ64M

[CombatRock]

why thank you sean. you dont know how to send full albums right?

Edit: this song is so good, i love the beat its so "groovy" if you ever wanna post more songs. be my guest.

[Coma_Girl]

Andy did you like Junco Partner?

not really. there's an annoying little noise. but I'll listen to it a couple more times, maybe I'll get used to it, it's different. Is it on an album?


Anyway, Joe Strummer had impressive story-telling abilities.

[CombatRock]

its on Sandinisita, i wish Joe would have done a (old timey) country cd, since he was a good story teller.

[guns_of_brixton]

Yea, I don't have WinZip so I can't send a full album :(.

I wish the Clash or Joe would've done some country stuff, too, like Lonesome Me.

[CombatRock]

like johnny cash and hank williams country no toby keith, i hate toby keith.

[CombatRock]

why was this thread on the 2nd page! im not posting for awhile as yall know im going to chiacgo, have this thread on the 1st page when i get back alright?

[Coma_Girl]

well, streetcore is the closest thing Joe did from country.

[Coma_Girl]

to whoever is doind the list...
wait cause i havent finished mine, its SO hard.

[Forest_Fire]

mmmmmmm



Is it just me, or is Kola Kola an awesome song?

[Daniel!]

No, it's awsome.

[EightMilesHigh]

Koka Kola is great.

This discussion is getting a little pointless :\

[Daniel!]

Who's seen the documentary Westway to the World? Cool movie. Very insightful.

[CombatRock]

yea, i think most of us own/seen Westway to the World its so good. learned allot bout the clash.


nice to be back in this thread.

[SlappedByTheClash]

I'm still waiting on Viva Joe Strummer.

[Forest_Fire]

Isn't it out yet? I remember someone saying they had it

[CombatRock]

I'm still waiting on Viva Joe Strummer.

what is it again?

[Daniel!]

Man, I thought I killed this thread. Is Viva Joe Strummer a documentary too?

Mick looks super-ugly in that pic.

[the101er]

did mick sing lead on one of the songs on The Clash? i was listening and it sounds like him on one of the songs?

[Daniel!]

He sings lead on quite a few songs actually.

[guns_of_brixton]

Hate and War and Jail Guitar Doors, unless you count Remote Control.

[BostonBound988]

He also has a new band Big Audio Dynamite. They're really good.

[BostonBound988]

Who's seen the documentary Westway to the World? Cool movie. Very insightful.
That movie is amazing. I like the part when they were shooting the birds with shotguns, and come to find out they were an extremely expensive breed. Their owner wasn't too happy.

But yeah i really enjoy my movie, let my teacher borrow it, I still don't have it back. I don't know if I ever will...

[guns_of_brixton]

I'm not sure if they said it in the movie but the bird shooting made them write Guns on the Roof.

My favorite part is when they play the Guns of Brixton at Bond's in NYC and you see Joe playing bass.

[Forest_Fire]

:upset:


I still haven't seen it.




Mick sang on Stay Free (I think it was that one)

[CombatRock]

nice to see you in this thread evan. post more in it.

[Canadian-Guy]

Mick looks super-ugly in that pic.

He looks like his face is rotting :eek:

[Silvermedalmafia]

Mick always looks ugly, he can't help it.

[CombatRock]

him and topper are the ugliest in the band. but paul on the other hand...

[Forest_Fire]

On the "Punk:Attitude" documentary, one lady said she didn't think paul was in the band at first becuase he was "too handsome"

And they interviwed Mick for it. It was horribly ugly

[BostonBound988]

I will. I love the clash, and Joe Strummer. Just hadn't checked into this thread before.

[CombatRock]

hottness wise

paul > joe > mick > topper, some pictures of mick are good.

i didnt know you liked the clash evan, you like DKMS covers?

[Coma_Girl]

They all had their moments of hotness. For Joe, it was after he got his teeth fixed.

I've found this yesterday, and it's quite interesting.
http://www.revolutionrock.co.uk/



and my favorite part of westway to the world is when they play complete control live, and the crowd sing along. (2 pages late)

[CombatRock]

joes teeth are messed up cos hes brittish common. sorry to the brits here.

andy your page dosent work.

[Coma_Girl]

now it's supposed to work.

[CombatRock]

do you own streetcore?

[guns_of_brixton]

I ordered it and its coming in tomorrow, but I know all of the songs since its on my other computer.

And I believe Tymon Dogg from the Meskies played some instruments on Sandinista.

[CombatRock]

what instruments did he play, and please tell me Dogg is his real last name, cos if its not its really gay.

[guns_of_brixton]

Its really his last name... and I think he played violin on Junco Partner.

[BostonBound988]

hottness wise

paul > joe > mick > topper, some pictures of mick are good.

i didnt know you liked the clash evan, you like DKMS covers?
Oh man, you have triggered my DKM knowledge. I hate when I have to do this...

Ken Casey learned bass to play in this band(or very close before they started) and he learned by playing along to the clash record. So at practice, when deciding what songs to play, they would all say "what songs can Ken play, cause he's the worst!" and since Ken learned by playing along to the Clash, he could play those songs. They started off doing a bunch of covers, but I forget what their original name was.

More proof I'm a DKM geek.

[CombatRock]

thats awesome i didnt know Ken was a big Clash fan, i knew Marc was since he is always wearing Clash shirts. thanks for that bit of knowledge.

[BostonBound988]

thats awesome i didnt know Ken was a big Clash fan, i knew Marc was since he is always wearing Clash shirts. thanks for that bit of knowledge.
Honestly, I'm sure they're all Clash fans. Ken is also a huge Green Day fan.

[CombatRock]

i would have never thought greenday, DKM makes greenday look pathetic. DKM has coverd Guns of Brixton, Carrear Opprotuntes and White Riot anything esle?

[BostonBound988]

i would have never thought greenday, DKM makes greenday look pathetic. DKM has coverd Guns of Brixton, Carrear Opprotuntes and White Riot anything esle?
That's it, well at least on record.

On the singles collection they also cover "I've Had Enough" by Slapshot, and that song is on a tribute comp, which my friends band is also on.

[CombatRock]

you and your Boston. in the times you seen DKM did they ever say anythign about the clash or cover a song by them?

[BostonBound988]

No. But I'm going to bed now. Its almost 2 AM here.

[CombatRock]

Its really his last name... and I think he played violin on Junco Partner.

thanks for sending me JP again, i love that song, exept the beginning with that werid noise.

[guns_of_brixton]

I have like 5 other versions of Junco Parter on my computer that I can upload if ya want, but I've heard YSI hasn't been working right.

James Booker (original guy who did it)

Mescaleros (live version, f'ucking awesome with great sound quality, Joe changed some lyrics, I love it)

Mescaleros (not as good sound quality)

101ers (s'hitty sound quality, maybe still worth a listen)

El Clash Combo (live, pretty good, Joe sounds awesome)

[CombatRock]

all of those are Junco Partner? do you have the song that is on the beginning of Essential Clash DVD, you know when there driving in the caddy?

[Coma_Girl]

I just bought Global a Go-Go, I should've got it a while ago. Its a great album.
I love the song that goes "well, i was walking down the highroad and this guy stopped me"

and "if you really wanna go, you'll get there in the end"
(i dont remember the titles)

and the video for Johnny Appleseed is great. Not as great as Redemption Song, but you should watch it.

what instruments did he play, and please tell me Dogg is his real last name, cos if its not its really gay.
Tymon Dogg was a good friend of Joe way before he was in the mescaleros. He officially joined the band after their semi-secret gig at the 100 club, before they went on tour supporting The Who.
