The Official Clash & Joe Strummer Thread

[CombatRock]

i love you nick. is it here forever or will it be deleted again?

[Brain Toad]

It is here forever, unless it ends up being bumped every day, to either keep it on the first page, or to just say something non-significant about the clash.

[CombatRock]

awesome, dont worry andy will keep us in line. so yall closed it why, i still didnt get the point?

[Brain Toad]

Because I wanted to screw with you guys, and because I was just getting tired of all the idiocy that goes down in here with all the clash whoring.

[CombatRock]

viva la clash.


andy do you know were to get the "ignore alien signs" sticker. i wanna put it on my tele.

[guns_of_brixton]

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?

Uh, that would be Cool confusion, I have the song but that is a different (better) version that you hear on the dvd.

Thanks for bringing this back, I guess, like I said in slsk I'm not going to post in here as much and not make useless posts.

[CombatRock]

Could you send me Cool Confusion?

[white_riot]

I have an alt version of Cool Confusion on my Street rats C.D. It is a pretty cool song. Give me a minute and I'll put it up.

THis is late, but the Meskies live Junco Partner>>>>>>>>Clash's Sandinista version.


ANyone have Rock Art And The X-Ray Style? I'm starting to like it more than Global A Go-Go.

I'm in shock this thread has hit 4000 posts. I'm proud of you guys for having this much Clash whoring...stuff.

[RCVA]

Yeah. They must be really popular on here. London Calling is an amazing song.

Now, we share the love! Yay for hippie ethics. those long haired b'astards

[Jessizzle]

From The specials bio, I thought it was kinda cool, I never knew they played together.
"After the clash's Joe Strummer had heard them preforming. The Specials were invited to be the souport act on the Clashs No Patrole UK tour which gave them national exposure for a brieft period they even shared the Clash's own management.

Yeah, Bernie (mis)managed Los Speciales after the guys told him to f'uck off.

yea i need to get more of there albums, but no cd stores sale them! and i hate ordering of the internet.

[SlappedByTheClash]

All the FYE's around here sell them. on sale, to boot.
9.99 each.


Too bad I bought mine for 16 like an idiot.

To put this all together, my friend thought Elvis Costello was in the Clash, and another friend thinks the Clash sounds like the Specials.


Long Shadow may be the best song Joe ever did, with or without El Clash Combo.

[CombatRock]

i wouldnt say Long Shawdow is his best its good but burning streets is maybe his best (not clash wise).


steve my FYE idk about yours but has music by catergory now, like metal,rock, punk rap ect.. what secion was your under?

(I know I'm not Steve, but) In ours they have JS and the Meskies under the punk/ska section. Unfortuneatly, they have about 7 streetcores and none of the others.

It's just under rock, we don't have punk sections.

[guns_of_brixton]

"Somewhere in my sooooul... there's always rock and roll!"

It may be my new favorite song.

[Silvermedalmafia]

Rock and roll by the velvet underground > all other rock and roll songs

[CombatRock]

"Somewhere in my sooooul... there's always rock and roll!"

It may be my new favorite song.

im hooked on the version of White Man you sent me, i like that speed better then the one on the album.

[guns_of_brixton]

I forgot the one I sent you... is it the one where Joe starts talking about 'skaville'? Cause I've got one that's even faster than that. Anyway I like how Mick sings the "white youth, black youth" part.

[CombatRock]

he says nothing about skaville, unless its during the song?

[Daniel!]

I just heard my first 101ers album and I liked it alot. thier version of Junco Partner is the best version I've heard. I didn't have enough money to buy the album though.

[CombatRock]

can anyone send me 101ers Junco Partner? im not that big on the 101ers though there ok though.

[guns_of_brixton]

he says nothing about skaville, unless its during the song?

Yea, its when the harmonica would usually be.


And I think the 101ers Junco Partner is kinda weak.

[Brain Toad]

Joe Strummer is still dead :lol :lol

[Forest_Fire]

Ban this mofo (http://www.musicianforums.com/forums/member.php?userid=121943), nick.



I downloaded GEER a while ago, and just got around to burning it onto cd today. It's pretty good

[CombatRock]

i would love any of yall more than my new girlfriend :D, if they send me some songs from GEER.

[guns_of_brixton]

Last Gang in Town is easily the best on that disc.



Joe is dead? :confused: Don't tell Andy!!! LOLLOLOLOLOLZZZ!

[CombatRock]

5) Last Gang In Town
6) Guns On The Roof
7) Drug-Stabbing Time

[CombatRock]

sean is sending me the first 5 so if you can just send tracks 6-10. idc if you dont do it today, take your time, im still yet to post that story about joe smashing somone with his tele.

[Forest_Fire]

I have to do them one song at a time right? Or can you download more than one now?

[guns_of_brixton]

Nevermind it, I'll do the whole album.

[CombatRock]

nvm the way sean is sending me is going fast so he can do the whole thing thanks anyway.

[Forest_Fire]

Fine. I didn't want to do it anyway. :sticks out tongue:


Tell us if you like it, travis.




I mean, how much, not if. :)

[#1!]

i just found my brother's copy of 'streetcore' (it was in his room with all his other cds, go figure) today and have been listening to it just about non-stop since. Sooooooooooooooooo good!

[guns_of_brixton]

Favorite song on it?

/better be Long Shadow :mad:

[#1!]

yeah, that song is A-FREAKIN-MAZING! coma girl is good too though.

[CombatRock]

it cant beat Burning Streets! welcome to are thread #1. and dustin i have heard 80% of the songs on GEER, i just dont have them on cds or on the computer.

[Strummerville]

Alright! I'm a new guy on these forums. Good to see a dedicated Clash following. Look forward to chatting to you guys more.

One thing though. Should I buy 'Cut The Crap'. I've got all the other records except Sandanista. What d'ya think. I know it's regarded as the worst Clash album so I was just wondering.

[Daniel!]

No, get Sansanista.

welcome :thumb: , post here more, please. eh dont get Cut the Crap, its regarded as the worst Clash album cos its the worst. Sandinistia is good, or from what i heard about it. FYI Cut the Crap = Album that must not be named.

[Flagjacket]

While we're talking about Clash albums, is the London Calling Legacy thing worth it?

[CombatRock]

eh, if you a die hard clash fan yes. basically its London Calling, Vanilla Tapes (tracks they found in Micks basement, they were like practice runs), Last Testament (a dvd about London Calling) and a big insert with essays and photos. i have it i enjoy it, its more of a collectors piece though.

[guns_of_brixton]

Do you already have the original London Calling? If not, just get the single cd. The Armagideon Times (fanzine thing that the Clash made) is alot of fun to check out though, it comes with the Legacy.

Edit: and Strummerville, you should get Sandinista!, its got alot of way-out-there stuff, as well as some great f.ucking songs.

[CombatRock]

i never knew there was Aramgideon Times in the legacy thing. i though it was only essays?



and get on msn to send the rest of the songs please.

[skunkmuffin]

what did Joe die of?

[sketchyjoe]

AIDS.

[skunkmuffin]

hmmm, i thought it would be something smoking related considering in almost every photo he's smoking...my bad

[sketchyjoe]

It was from having too much sex with men.

[guns_of_brixton]

Yea (sketchy) Joe died of mansex.



Strummer had a heart attack.

[sketchyjoe]

Caused by AIDS and buttsex.

Basically, when HIV is transmitted through anal intercourse between two males several process occur. During the asymptomatic stage, billions of HIV particles are produced every day accompanied by a decline, at variable rates, in the number of CD4+ T cells. The virus is not only present in the blood, but also throughout the body, particularly in the lymph nodes, brain, and genital secretions. During this stage, the body's immune system is actively trying to fight off the HIV infection but, for the vast majority of infected people who are not receiving treatment, the immune response is insufficient as the virus directly attacks cells of the immune system and mutates rapidly into AIDS. Many who are infected experience a seroconversion flu during this stage as their bodies change from seronegative to seropositive leading to a massive pulmonary overload or "heart attack" such as in the case of Joe Strummer.

[CombatRock]

sean, when i went to go play the songs you sent me it said i needed a licecnes or somthing?

[guns_of_brixton]

[skunkmuffin]

actually hiv can pass though any form of liquid swapping, sharing needles, cumming in any orifice etc

[cheeser_1]

actually hiv can pass though any form of liquid swapping
that's a bit too vague. if i trade a kid a mountain dew for a dr. pepper, i'm not at risk to catch HIV. there are only four fluids that transmit HIV:
blood
semen
vaginal fluid
breast milk

no other fluids transmit HIV whatsoever. unless you are taking one of these fluids into your body in some way (through an oriface or open sore/wound of any kind), you cannot catch HIV.

[CombatRock]

wheres andy when you need to her?

clash police says stay on topic -andy

im still couldnt get those GEER songs to work!

[Silvermedalmafia]

do any of you guys have the From here to eternity live album? I do, and it's pretty good, even surprisingly good sound quality for a live album/compilation.

[CombatRock]

i always get there 2 live ones mixed up. which one cost allot of money?

[Strummerville]

I got From Here To Eternity for about £7. I think it's the Clash On Broadway that costs more. I could be wrong though.

Can I just clear something up, was Joe gay? Just need to know. Essential facts you see. I'm not sure whether all the mansex talk is just in jest or whether you're actually being serious.

Cheers.

[guns_of_brixton]

Joe Strummer wasn't gay and didn't have AIDS.

From Here to Eternity is very good. It sounds so good because most of the performances didn't feature Terry Chimes, and they must've done some studio tricks to get it to sound better, like the sound levels. On a bootleg I've got it has the EXACT same Complete Control but the guitar is quieter.

hes not in any form gay at all, they were joking around. joe was married and had kids.

[sketchyjoe]

Joe Stummer was gay and he had AIDS.

[Shtein]

Ya, the heart attack was just a cover up.

[sketchyjoe]

Don't listen to Sean. He's just a homophobe who doesn't belive gay people can make good music. He's in serious denial.

[skunkmuffin]

my life is a lie!

Why are you soiling my f'ucking thread like this? You're sullying it's good name!


Please stay on topic, dude. When Andy's not here, I'm the acting Clash police.


And Joe's mansex is something we like to keep very hush-hush around here, so let's pretend this one never happened.

[Strummerville]

This thread is a good laugh. I'm learning guitar at the moment and was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to recommend a Clash song to start learning. I'm lazy and haven't trawled through that recomendations thread yet. I've learnt the intro to 'Gates Of The West'. I'm still quite bad as you can see. I couldn't even manage 'Should I Stay...'.

[CombatRock]

if you want a beginner clash song, learn Clash City Rockers, its so easy to play.

[Johnny EPHC]

Death Or Glory is easy, too.

[guns_of_brixton]

Don't listen to Sean. He's just a homophobe who doesn't belive gay people can make good music. He's in serious denial.

Can you blame me? Queen sucked donkey ****.


If you can't manage Should I Stay, then try the intro to Brand New Cadillac. If you can't play a 4 chord song then you'd have trouble with Death or Glory and Clash City Rockers.

[sketchyjoe]

Do not disrespect Queen until you have written a better song than Bohemian Rhapsody.

[guns_of_brixton]

Do not disrespect Queen until you have written a better song than Bohemian Rhapsody.

I wrote one about a girl that was called "Don't Make Your Black Boyfriend Beat Me Up."

I couldn't think of any other gay musicians *should've used George Michael*.

But back on topic... anyone with a guitar should learn the solo to Brand New Cadillac. Its hella fun to play.

[sketchyjoe]

That's a cover though isn't it?

[guns_of_brixton]

Brand New Cadillac is a Vince Taylor tune.

Don't Make Your Black Boyfreind Beat Me Up is original and doesn't suck donkey ****.

[Music Nerd]

Great post. Alot of the punk bands from 1990 up owe alot to Joe, and most do have their respect for him. He was amazing, The Clash were so good, even after Joe kicked Mick out. And Joe's solo stuff is outstanding. One of my favorite artists ever, R.I.P.

[CombatRock]

Brand New Cadillac is a Vince Taylor tune.

Don't Make Your Black Boyfreind Beat Me Up is original and doesn't suck donkey ****.

Brand New Cadillac is ultra easy to play. bass and guitar, i just play the bass part on the guitar, it sounds good that way.

[sketchyjoe]

The Clash were so good, even after Joe kicked Mick out.
No they weren't.

Haha.

I love playing Clash songs on guitar. Very simple riffs, and they are fun. I think London Calling is a better album musically, but their S/T just appeals to me more.

[guns_of_brixton]

Brand New Cadillac is ultra easy to play. bass and guitar, i just play the bass part on the guitar, it sounds good that way.

NO. That ain't how it goes. Don't disrespect Mick Jones like that, he taught Paul how to play bass.

E-0--0-----
B-0--2-----
G-1--2--4--
D-2--2--4--
A-2--0--2--

Those are the chords. You're welcome :evil:. The solo is above you.

[Music Nerd]

^ E, A, B is the rythm to the song (Joe). The riff is the lead in which Mick plays, I think I am correct, but maybe not.

[CombatRock]

Are you retarded?

:lol:













:upset:



sean im talking about the intro isnt the intro on guitar and bass the same. this part:


G:|-----------------|
D:|-----------------|
A:|---------0-0-1-0-|
E:|-0-0-3-3---------|

[Music Nerd]

^ Yes. Then it goes down a string for (A).

[CombatRock]

yeap. so the guitar and bass are the same for the intro.

[SlappedByTheClash]

No they weren't.

Much as it saddens me to say it, I have to agree with that.

[CombatRock]

for the first time in a while i played my bass to the london calling cd. so fun. havent done it in ages.

[redstainedeyes]

I can never find decent tabs for any of the songs on London Calling. As a result of this I only know London Calling except for the solo, Brand New Cadillac, Clampdown, Guns of Brixton, Death or Glory, and Train in Vain.

[CombatRock]

i looked for you and tried to find lots of stuff with london calling tabs i couldnt get much. just google it allot. i just learned Clampdown on the bass. i love that bass line.

[guns_of_brixton]

I should get that lost album thing.

[CombatRock]

it sounded kinda fake but i guess its real.?

[Forest_Fire]

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. It looks like someone went into photoshop and replaced "Texas Ranger" with "Joe Strummer"

[CombatRock]

yea it does look like that. i stil havent got viva la joe or whatever its called.

[guns_of_brixton]

When ya think about it, that thing seems faker that Tara Reid's left breast.

And now, I will explain how awesome From Here To Eternity is. I'll point out several awesome parts. On Complete Control, the entire song is f.ucking sweet, but the base part is the "total - C-O-N, CONTROL!" bit. It goes like this:

Paul: Total..
Joe: WHAAA?!?
Mick and Paul (loudly): C-O-N, CONTROL!!

I will have more installments on its greatness.

[CombatRock]

oh please post more installments of its greatness. that album is awesome, even though i dont own it.

[guns_of_brixton]

Installment Deux

/turns on mp3 player, goes to teh Clash

The Magnificent Seven

The first three and a half minutes of the song are much like the Sandinista! version. After Joe goes "news flash, from the Clash!" then Topper and Paulo do the drumroll / cool bass part thing, it's just Topper going at it on the hi-hat and Paulo throwing in a little bass part. Now this is what Joe says:

Well don't you stand there going over to sleep. I know this song is... 20 minuites long and I know this song is f.ucking long...... Well where is magnificence? They said it was out here somewhere, out on these roads. Just a liiiiiiitttle m-m-m-m-magn- SHUT UP YOU! HEY! Who you tryin' to kid?!?! Don't go lookin' for that, kid!

Now it is just Paulo's bass and Joe's voice. This is the best part.

Don't you know that magnificence is strictly out of order, and truly reserved for the upper class!? Why don't you get bored, go back to school, and don't ask for any of this magnificence!

But Sir! Just a little bit! Oh Sir just a little bit?!?! It makes me feel like I'm ALIVE!

mm-m-m-mm-m-m-m-maaaaag MAAAAAaAGNIFICENCE!! AAAAAAAAHH!

[CombatRock]

hhahahah awesome. what is joe talking about though?

[guns_of_brixton]

DUDE! Listen to what the song's about. The daily 9 to 5, same s'hit different day, and the oppression of the working class by greedy bastards.

Installment Three will either be White Man In Hammersmith or Straight to Hell. Straight to Hell is 7 minutes long and has tons of great parts, so I may save it for the final installment.

[Forest_Fire]

Do white man first. I like it better.

[guns_of_brixton]

Alright, I might do it tonite, although I think Straight to Hell is amazing.

[CombatRock]

both equally good songs. but at this moment in time Staight to Hell is sounding better.

[guns_of_brixton]

Does anyone have a Clash cover album on slsk?

Oh, and I was listening to Jail Guitar Doors and at one point is sounds like it says Whale Guitar Doors.

[CombatRock]

i dont use slsk. i thought you had all the clash albums?

[guns_of_brixton]

All studio albums. I one day wish to have them all.

[hookers_with_herpes]

My favorite album is probably London Calling, with a few songs here and there off their other albums.

I also like the 101ers (pre-clash) and The Mescaleros. Strummer was amazing.

Mick is a very good guitarist, he doesn't get hardly the credit he deserves. He taught Paul how to play bass and arranged most of the music that the Clash did. If it wasn't for him I probably wouldn't be playing guitar now.

[CombatRock]

yea. he taught paul the basics though. not how to right killer basslines (yes i used the word killer) i like pauls style he always does that walking stuff 55443322 that thingy (dont know the correct termonlogy, dont post in bass forum enough)

[The Clash]

I have 2 clash books. Complete clash and The legend of Joe Strummer. In the legend of joe strummer, Joe says that Mick was a great tunesmith, and joe wrote the lyrics. Mick did a great job in the clash in terms of creating awsome powerful sounds and Pauls basslines are excellent

[The Clash]

You sound like this guy who im'd me on aim, who was a Clash / Green Day whore.

Since Paulo had the notes painted on his fretboard, he thought "why not play a bunch of notes instead of the same gay root note?"

That, and jump around onstage like Pete Townshend.

(its not my fault old ladies teach us spanish and jibberish). but yea andy. here computer is messed up, well MX atleast. but her msn works fine. she was telling me about how she met Tim Armstrong at the Wapred Tour (she had an all access pass) and they talked about Joe. also she met Jay from Bedioun SoundClash, and got to take picutres with his guitar, the one with joe and marley painted on it.



Paul is rocking out right here.

[guns_of_brixton]

Wow, with her horrible english skills, how could Tim understand her?

That was mean.


Well I've got a story.

In 8th grade art class, Me, my friend Rocco, and my friend Tony made a computer cartoon set to the music of Rock the Casbah. It was called Willie Wong's Day out, and I tell you it was the f'ucking sweetest thing ever. It was about a weiner dog who was kiddnapped by a Chinese Restaraunt and the ALMOST cooked him, but as Joe screams "The jet pilots waaaaiiilllled!" he busts free. I swear to god this thing exists.
If I can ever get a hold of it I'll post it here.

[CombatRock]

hahahhahah what! thats crazy. Andy has ok grammar better than mine at times.

[The Clash]

whats capital radio 2? is that like the song captial radio?

Capital Radio two is a little different from Capitial Radio. The lyrics are the same but there 2 different recordrings. The biggest difference is in the beginning of Capital Radio Two there is a accoustic riff that plays for about 20 seconds then BLASTS into the song.

[guns_of_brixton]

Yea, and in the second part of Capital Radio Two there's a funny conversation between Mick and Joe.

Joe: Hey, you guys! Come on! Jonesy?
Mick: Yea, what?!?!
Joe: Hey listen, I been thinkin'... we'll never get on the radio like this, you know that? Now, I been studyin' the charts, with my mind, and my 'magination... and I can see it all now... the drummer's in the box office... and he's countin' all the money!

(BIG EXPLOSION IN THE MUSIC)


Later, maybe tonight I will do another installation of From here to Eternty's greatness, because the Capital Radio on there is sweet. Joe starts talking about Sham 69.

From here to eternity, I like in White man in Hammersmith Palais Joe goes "Take it away Jonesy!" Then Mick sings "Whiiite Youth, Black Youth, better find another sloution, Why not phone up, ROBIN HOOD and his him for some well distribution"

[CombatRock]

The one and only Andy meeting Jay from Bedioun SoundClash and holding his guitar. Andy says hey clash fourm.

If you look Joe is painted on the guitar.

[Forest_Fire]

That's awesome. If I was better at making stencils, I'd try that on the back of my bass

[CombatRock]

yea that would be cool. im going to Best Buy today with 25$ any suggestions on what to get.

[guns_of_brixton]

From here to eternity, I like in White man in Hammersmith Palais Joe goes "Take it away Jonesy!" Then Mick sings "Whiiite Youth, Black Youth, better find another sloution, Why not phone up, ROBIN HOOD and his him for some well distribution"

"Last train to skaville!"

Travis hopefully you bought From Here to Eternity.

[CombatRock]

i went there and all they had was Sandinista. i was pissed! i wanted to get it but only had 25 dollars and the thing was 25 plus tax. so i got Do or Die by DKM.

[Silvermedalmafia]

From here to eternity, I like in White man in Hammersmith Palais Joe goes "Take it away Jonesy!" Then Mick sings "Whiiite Youth, Black Youth, better find another sloution, Why not phone up, ROBIN HOOD and his him for some well distribution"
He doesn't say "Take it away Jonesy", he says "Take it away from me".

i downloaded the James Booker one, and it was the clash one?

[guns_of_brixton]

oh sh'it.

I'll fix this.

[CombatRock]

you havent fixed it. im making a clash tee! any suggestions on what to put?

[guns_of_brixton]

Yea I might never fix it. Whatever you put, please make sure you speel it right. And dont put a ton of words, just some piXxXoRrXxX.

[CombatRock]

you spelt spell wrong. mwhahahha.


im gunna put Know Your Rights on it. i still need to get the shirt.

[AB/CD]

yo ladsh :P first time posting here (been in big clash mood lately) anyway yeah i was told sandinista is a ****e album havnt got it yet but I need it and super black market crash or whatever its called. love from here to eternity at the minute great live album especially love armigideon time and magnificent seven on it.

[KillBigBrother]

^^^^ sandindista is their best ****ing album!!!! screw london calling and everything else they did, that album alone makes them great. i find it sad that alot of people have underated and devalued this album, its outright politcalness defined the clash at their core.....

[CombatRock]

what clash fan dosent like Sandinista. its a masterpiece, i havent heard the whole thing only half the songs. and half of its almost a double album ahha.

[guns_of_brixton]

AB/CD go a page or two back and see my installment on Eternity's greatness.

And Sandinista! is probably their best album. It may be better than London Calling.

[CombatRock]

I wouldn't say its better than London Calling.

[CombatRock]

http://tinypic.com/9zmz3s.jpg

For yalls viewing pleasure!

[AB/CD]

London Calling wasnt as fantastic as most clash fans make it out to be i like every song on the album but its not their best at all

[guns_of_brixton]

I love every song on it and it is the best album of all time. Sandinista is #2 as fars as Clash albums. London Calling > every album.

[sketchyjoe]

London Calling is easily the best Clash album.

[Forest_Fire]

It's the most popular, but best?



Probably. Depends on my mood.

[guns_of_brixton]

London Calling is easily the best Clash album.

Yes. And combat Rock is easily the most popular. Everyone knows Rock the Casbah.

[Forest_Fire]

Rock the Casbah is probably the most known song (if not "Should I stay or Should I go"), but when most people think of the clash, they think of london calling.


Or maybe not, I don't really know what other people are thinking.


/pointless

[CombatRock]

Yes. And combat Rock is easily the most popular. Everyone knows Rock the Casbah.
You really think Combat Rock is the most popularist? I always thought it was one of the least popularist.

[Forest_Fire]

My parents didn't know who the clash were, so I started listing songs and they didn't know any until I mentioned "Rock the casbah". They said they saw the video all the time on tv.

[guns_of_brixton]

You really think Combat Rock is the most popularist? I always thought it was one of the least popularist.

I'd say Combat Rock is the most popular. I know it sold the most copies.

My dad likes the Clash, but mostly only the songs everyone knows. He liked Streetcore.

[CombatRock]

My mom likes Redemption Song allot, when i drive with her she sings along with it.

[guns_of_brixton]

Yea, mah pops was all like "a Bob Marley song, cool."

[CombatRock]

Your dad know Marley tunes? Off subject sorta, my dad went to Jamaica and at the hotel a reggae band was playing and doing cover songs of Marley. My dad got on stage and played the tamborine.


/no joke.

[guns_of_brixton]

Haha, that's pretty awesome. My dad likes alot of the same music as me. He recognized Holiday In Cambodia and was like, "the Dead Kennedys? You like them?"

[sketchyjoe]

I'd say Combat Rock is the most popular. I know it sold the most copies.
It sold more but I wouldn't say it's more popular.

[Aeaon]

Some Clash fans didn't like it that much. I think it's great.

[CombatRock]

It sold more but I wouldn't say it's more popular.
London Calling didnt sale more? Seans get your dad to be yalls drummer!

[sketchyjoe]

In the US London Calling went gold whereas Combat Rock went Platinum as it had more popular singles.

Your dad know Marley tunes?
Everyone know Bob Marley. There's tribes living in the Amazon rainforest who've never met white people before but if you turned up with a stereo playing Jammin' they all go "Hey! It's Bob Marley!"

[CombatRock]

So wouldnt that mean London Calling sold more?





/i guess thats not taking in the rest of the world, only US.

[sketchyjoe]

Dunno.

[CombatRock]

Oh well, London Calling is far better. My friend pissed me off, he calims he likes the clash, has shirts and what not. The other night we were listing to music i put a clash song in he said "i dont like them" bahumbug.

[guns_of_brixton]

My dad can't play the drums... :confused:

And if Amazon tribes had never met white people they could obviously still know Bob Marley... the man is a negro.

Everyone likes the Clash to some degree because it's impossible not to know and like Rock the Casbah.

... and I am watching the Cubs/Mets game in New York, and they played "Should I Stay..." as they went to the commercials and I was like "huh?" Then I remembered the huge show teh Clash played in Shea Stadium in 1981.

[Mannik]

Richard Cheese's Rock the Casbah > Orginal

[CombatRock]

I just bought some cds on has Joe Strummer and the Mescelros playing Junco Partner live.

[Mannik]

That version of Junco Partner is really good. It's even better better than the studio version on Sandinista.

[CombatRock]

Not to me, i just listend to it, i like Sandinistas version better.

[guns_of_brixton]

Sup, advertising?

[Zion Gates]

amazing, i couldnt do any better

[guns_of_brixton]

You successfully captured Mick Jones's ugliness.

[ekajsk8er]

thats reallly good

[AdictAddict]

yes, nice work

[CombatRock]

All he was doing was advertising, thats why he is now banned. Paul looks stupid in the picture with his hair.

[Coma_Girl]

Richard Cheese's Rock the Casbah > Orginal
Who is Richard Cheese?

[guns_of_brixton]

His version is alright... I give him credit for getting through the entire song in like 1:20.

[AB/CD]

i could well play that song in 1:20

[CombatRock]

Im downloading the song right now, i will edit and see what i think.
Also im making my clash shirt tonight. Next time i go to my girlfriends i will get her to take a picture for me.


edit: That was extremely annoying.

[guns_of_brixton]

I got Let Fury Have the Hour at my library... very good so far. I almost got America (the John Stewart/Daily Show book) but I forgot :upset:.

[Brain Toad]

Who is Richard Cheese?

He is godly and owns you.

[CombatRock]

I got Let Fury Have the Hour at my library... very good so far. I almost got America (the John Stewart/Daily Show book) but I forgot :upset:.

That is the funniest book in the world! Jon Stewar is greater than richard cheese.

I made my clash shirt, it says Hate and War, i shall post once i get pictures.

[The Clash]

I'd say Combat Rock is the most popular. I know it sold the most copies.

My dad likes the Clash, but mostly only the songs everyone knows. He liked Streetcore.


Combat rock featurs songs like "Should I Stay or Should I Go" and "Rock The Casbah" which are songs that everyone knows.

But Combat rock doesnt come CLOSE to London Calling. London Calling was a master piece. SO Influentual. It was ranked number 8 by rolling stone magazine in there 500 Greatest albums of all time. And VH1 has London Calling listed at number 56 in the greatest songs of the past 25 years.

Combat rock is cool, But London Calling is the clash at there best.

Because VH1 and Rolling Stone magazine are the definitive punk rock source. Their self-titled album was the most influential if you ask me. Influence is what it means to the person, not some mainstream magazine. I don't know much about The Clash except that S/T was very influential for a lot of bands. That and Give 'em Enough Rope was incredible.

[guns_of_brixton]

Well popular certainly doesn't mean the best. London Calling is easily the best. Combat Rock is probably the worst.

London Calling was easily the best album they had on the Rolling Stone list. It owns the hell out of the Beatles and Beach Boys or whoever else was ahead of it.

[CombatRock]

That and Give 'em Enough Rope was incredible.

I disagree that the ST was more influential, just the fact that at the time lots of punk records were comming out and what not, but when London Calling came out, none of the punk bands were doing the sounds of that record.

[guns_of_brixton]

np- Living in Fame

And I noticed the guy who does the vocals on this song is the sme guys who does them on the live Armagideon Time.

[CombatRock]

Is it that black guy that helps out in Bankrobber?

[guns_of_brixton]

No, this guy has an annoying voice. Well, maybe it is him.

[CombatRock]

Have you seen the guy? On essential clash hes in the bankrobber video.

[Strummerville]

I liked the painting that was posted a couple of pages back. Joe looks like he's having bowel problems though.

I want to make my own Clash t-shirts, seen as the ones you can get commercially are **** sizes and just crap.

Any ideas on how I do this? Paint's, stencils etc.?

[CombatRock]

I have made clash tee. Get the stencils lay them out how you want then cover everything but the stencils. Then use spray paint, thats why i used and it turned out really good.

[Strummerville]

thanks for the advice. What kind of shops sell decent stencils?

[widzjnent]

i just saw a part of the essential clash dvd (all the promo video's and stuff, not their home movie) i think it's good, is westway to the world better?

[guns_of_brixton]

Westway is different and better.

[CombatRock]

thanks for the advice. What kind of shops sell decent stencils?
Im, not sure really, my friend gave me a stencil thing, all it was, was a carboard piece of paper with letters on it and you just tear the letters you need off. IM sure you can get them at a walmart or hobby lobby.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

Just a quick question...
Do you think that Joe Strummer was really as tough as he says he was?
I don't mean no offence, I love the Clash, but Strummer doesn't actually seem that badarse to me... I dunno, perhaps one of you lot know his life story better?

[CombatRock]

Somone who bashes somones head over with a telecaster is badass to me.

[guns_of_brixton]

Part of Let Fury Have the Hour went something like: "Joe Strummer, the thuggish-looking lead singer of the Clash."

[CombatRock]

When are you going to post interviews?

[RIP Ian Curtis]

I agree that strummer did some tough stuff. but stopping people spitting at his shows and the whole rock against racism thing, which flew in the face of the nihilstic/hedonistic side of punk which really floats my boat. I don't know, he just seems kinda white middle class kid like me in some of his lyrics

[Coma_Girl]

I bought Passion Is A Fashion and I'm not sure if I like it. It's really interesting and there's a lot of good anecdotes, but there's way to much "maybe" and "we can assume that" and "they possibly were".

There's something really interesting in the chapter about Joe:
Joe Strummer vs John Mellor.

And Sean, have you finished LFHTH?

[guns_of_brixton]

Uhh... I'm at the Last Broadcast... the part about Cut the CRap. That was kind of a sad chapter.

[Coma_Girl]

Uhh... I'm at the Last Broadcast... the part about Cut the CRap. That was kind of a sad chapter.

ewww. ctc...
what was your favorite chapter?

[guns_of_brixton]

The part that Billy Bragg wrote was awesome, and so was the Clash In America. I've loved all of it :D.

[Coma_Girl]

The part that Billy Bragg wrote was awesome, and so was the Clash In America. I've lived all of it :D.
yeah, I loved the billy bragg part too. and the interview that I posted here a while ago.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

cut the crap was their last album no? the less than great one? sorry im a clash noob

[guns_of_brixton]

Cut the Crap was hardly even the Clash. We don't like to talk about it here.

The part Chuck D wrote was great too.

[Coma_Girl]

cut the crap was their last album no? the less than great one? sorry im a clash noob
cut the crap is the album-that-must-not-be-named. Or the album-that-never-really-existed.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

okay I'll keep that in mind. How about Strummer's other stuff? Are the Mescaleros (excuse spelling) any good? Also I hear he fronted the Pogues for a little while...

[guns_of_brixton]

The Mescaleros are awesome, and I heard some live stuff Joe did with the Pouges. It was good.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

hate to bring up cut the crap but what makes it so awful?

[guns_of_brixton]

Bernie Rhodes wrote some of it, there was no Mick or Topper, and Joe wasn't Joe for that period in time.

This Is England is pretty good though, I've read.

[RIP Ian Curtis]

oh that's right, they got rid of Mick Jones for that one didn't they. How long did Tory Crimes/Terry Chimes last in the band?

[Coma_Girl]

The Mescaleros are almost as great as The Clash.

Sean: I also loved Greatness From Garageland a lot. And the chapter called Here's Joe Strummer. The interview with Joe in Clash Of The Titan is good too (when the journalists at the party ask him where he got his shirt :lol: )

[Coma_Girl]

oh that's right, they got rid of Mick Jones for that one didn't they. How long did Tory Crimes/Terry Chimes last in the band?
the lamborghini guy

[RIP Ian Curtis]

I've been playing/listening to punk in some form since i was about 13, but i've only just started to dig the clash. In the past all their idealistic stuff kinda turned me off. But theres some **** fine music under all the idealism

[RIP Ian Curtis]

jesus h christ. I can say crap and whore but i can't say d amn

[guns_of_brixton]

:lol:

Terry recorded the first album, and then did some touring for Combat Rock after Topper was gone.

[CombatRock]

the lamborghini guy

I didnt notice it was you, post here more andy!

To IAN (or whatever) what dont you like about there idealism?
