i know i'm a clash whore! :upset:
i just can't control my brain...everytime i have an occasion to talk about the clash..i HAVE to talk about the clash.it's even better if it's joe...my friends probably hate me now.

[SlappedByTheClash]

Yeah, I've never even listened to the rumor known only as Cut The Crap all the way through, because it was a steaming pile of dookie.


Joe didn't sing on it, it was Tory Crimes dressed up as Joe.

[SlappedByTheClash]

Oh, pshaw Andy, don't be so hard on yourself.

[CombatRock]

tory crimes is a douche..and i thought it was tory CHIMES

[guns_of_brixton]

my least favorite is Shepherds Delight, ive never been a fan of instrumentals, and i used to not like bankrobber so much, but now i do.

And the-album-that-must-not-be-named.

[SlappedByTheClash]

He changed it to Crimes to look hip.


What a f'ucking jacka'ss.

[guns_of_brixton]

Yeah, I've never even listened to the rumor known only as Cut The Crap all the way through, because it was a steaming pile of dookie.


Joe didn't sing on it, it was Tory Crimes dressed up as Joe.

and Paul never played on it, it was the pope in disguise.

[SlappedByTheClash]

That f'ucking geezer.



Just kidding *does cross motion*

[guns_of_brixton]

but the pope does have ghetto skills on the bass.

[CombatRock]

yea..we already coverd the chrimes is a dick part of the thread though...

what are some songs that mick or joe dosent sing
paul- guns of brixton
topper-ivan meets ji joe

[Coma_Girl]

my least favorite material...mmm...i dont know...i dont really like lovers rock either.and overpowered by funk...and i dont really like the album-that-must-not-be-named...i cant think of anything else right now.

[guns_of_brixton]

A while ago there was a thread that had 100 albums you should remove from your collection (I'd pull it up if searching wasn't off), and number 1 was Combat Rock. Personally, I think its great, and the-album-that-must-not-be-named should have taken its place.

[guns_of_brixton]

yea..we already coverd the chrimes is a dick part of the thread though...

what are some songs that mick or joe dosent sing
paul- guns of brixton
topper-ivan meets ji joe

I haven't heard The Crooked Beat in a long time, and I think Paul might sing it.

[SlappedByTheClash]

That wasn't the Clash that recorded Cut The Crap, it was the Trash City Rockers, AKA Dirty Motherf'uckers.

[Coma_Girl]

yea..we already coverd the chrimes is a dick part of the thread though...

what are some songs that mick or joe dosent sing
paul- guns of brixton
topper-ivan meets ji joe
guns of brixton is awesome.i love pauls voice.
plus the lyrics are awesome.

i love this part with reference to the movie the harder they come!:

you see he feels like ivan
born under the brixton sun
his game is called surviving
at the end of the harder they come

you know it means no mercy
they caught him with a gun
no need for the black maria
goodbye to the brixton sun

[guns_of_brixton]

That wasn't the Clash that recorded Cut The Crap, it was the Trash City Rockers, AKA Dirty Motherf'uckers.

Hmmmm. I could've sworn it was Bell Biv Devoe.

[Coma_Girl]

That wasn't the Clash that recorded Cut The Crap, it was the Trash City Rockers, AKA Dirty Motherf'uckers.
trash city is a good song by joe strummer and the latino rockabilly war

by good i mean, not that bad with cool lyrics

[SlappedByTheClash]

Same difference.

[Coma_Girl]

That wasn't the Clash that recorded Cut The Crap, it was the Trash City Rockers, AKA Dirty Motherf'uckers.

[guns_of_brixton]

58 mins of math...i got an hour and 45 mins of it

[CombatRock]

So do I, does your school have block scheduling?

[guns_of_brixton]

My school might get rid of it, because of some budget cuts.

[Coma_Girl]

joe loved south park and the simpson...he was awesome.

[Coma_Girl]

the forest in memory of joe.it's by the organism future forest...i have a really cool link about paul going there and it made me cry like a little girl.i cant help but cry everytime i read it.

http://www.sundayherald.com/38638

[SlappedByTheClash]

Rebel's wood was a forest Joe got named after him.


We've surpased the Ska E/D thread.

[CombatRock]

awesome, if you go i will go with you

[Coma_Girl]

[Coma_Girl]

Rebel's wood was a forest Joe got named after him.


We've surpased the Ska E/D thread.
you should try to change the title of the thread so more people would come and talk about the clash!

[SlappedByTheClash]

I've tried, it won't do it.

[guns_of_brixton]

awesome article

[CombatRock]

hey yall brb in like 15 mins gtg , jog get my *** in shape

[Coma_Girl]

Strummer planned to visit the cottage himself, but never made it. When the trip to Scotland presented itself, Simonon told me, he knew he had to go to the house for Joe; in a sense, with him

that's where i start crying

When did you last speak to Joe?

“He phoned,” he says, then stops. Then starts. “The night before he died. He was trying to send a fax. It wouldn’t go through. So he phoned to say, ‘Happy Christmas, I’m trying to send this fax.’ I got the fax later. The discussion was ‘Well, are we gonna play the Hall of Fame or are we not?’”

it made me smile throught my tears "Happy christmas, i'm trying to send this fax!"...so Joe...awwwwwwww

[guns_of_brixton]

When I read about Joe always forgetting the words, I instantly thought about the live London Calling on the essential clash dvd; "London calling, to the boys and girls come outta the cupboards, underwooorld."

The part about the fax was kinda cool, cause it was like meant to be so the fax wouldnt work and Joe and Paul would talk for one last time.

[Coma_Girl]

stop it, i got chills

[guns_of_brixton]

yea, its really kind of eerie.

[Coma_Girl]

but so cute.aww...it means he talked to paul just before he died.joe and mick forgot about their past fights at the last mescaleros show...i'm sure joe really rest in peace.i know it.plus his last show was for some cause i forgot.





straight to heaven.

[guns_of_brixton]

I think one of his last show was a tribute to Joey Ramone, who had just died.

[Coma_Girl]

i think his last was for firefighters...and i think theres a bootleg or a dvd called the last night london burned.
joe was really awesome




(i swear i said "he was really awesome at least 50 times in this thread.i deserve a throphy or something!)

[guns_of_brixton]

i think his last was for firefighters...and i think theres a bootleg or a dvd called the last night london burned.
joe was really awesome




(i swear i said "he was really awesome at least 50 times in this thread.i deserve a throphy or something!)

joe was the greatest.
:thumb: <---- thats the closest thing to a trophy that i can find :)

[CombatRock]

noone has said anything in 20 mins

whats your best memoray of joe strummer


mines him hitting a fan over the head with his telecaster

[guns_of_brixton]

Tough one, and kinda hard to think of, but... I'd say the moment (whenever it was) that Joe wrote Death or Glory. Such an amazing song.

[Coma_Girl]

i guess mine is in westway to the world when he talks about the nothing hill riot...this whole moment but my favorite part is when he says :"and there was this fat women screaming 'OMG they're gonna set the car on fire'..blah blah blah" just so funny.you can see in his eyes that it's a good memorie for him.

i cant think of anything else right now.

[CombatRock]

aaaaah yes i love that part, i think its funny how he says it..and i like it when he did a black person impression on W.T.W. about when they were in kingston and they almost got shot

[guns_of_brixton]

Or it Westway when Paul and Joe (actually, I'm not sure if Joe was involved) were shooting pigeons with a pellet gun, and lots of cops showed up, which inspired Guns on the Roof.

[CombatRock]

ooh yea, that was paul and topper wasnt it


gtg guys

daily show is comming on

and i have a final exam thing for school tomrrow...dont wanna waste and education..later you clashophiles

[Coma_Girl]

"oh piss off ya stupid cunt! you think this is 1976 and you're talking to the ****ing sex pistols?...piss off or i'll piss all over.....if he feels like throwing up its because his stomache hurts, i don't need your ****ing jokes to contend with.......how a bout life and death never mind who pukes on stinking carpets.....we are not teeny-bopping puke group...go read your teeny bop puke magazines"
-Joe Strummer



hahaha...Joe to some ******* reporter who thought it would be funny to poke fun at Topper's drunkeness at an interview....i feel sorry for anyone who hasn't seen this as it truly shows the type of man that Joe was/is.......he may have come off like a dick to some but he truly stood up and defended the man that was close to him (Topper).....Topper looks so defenceless, and Joe gave it his best to make him feel comfortable again......not only that but when Paul leans over to stare at the reporter as if to say, i've got his back really shows the companionship of the band, and the unity that stood between them....



(a post someone did in another forum, and a quote from Joe I really love...i can't agree more with the one who posted that)

[guns_of_brixton]

whoever said that deserves some rep.

[Coma_Girl]

ohhh and its not about joe but i love the part in westway when they dance on a rooftop.:lol:

[CombatRock]

nvm im not going the daily show is a rerun

[Coma_Girl]

whoever said that deserves some rep.
unfortunatly, it's not me...and i found that somewhere on internet, i have no idea who the **** it is.but it's so true.and beautiful.

[guns_of_brixton]

Yeah, definetely something Joe would say.

[CombatRock]

wait was the quote andy posted from joe or somone made it up?

[guns_of_brixton]

I'm not sure. Anyways, I've gotta go, see you guys tomorrow :).

[Coma_Girl]

"oh piss off ya stupid cunt! you think this is 1976 and you're talking to the ****ing sex pistols?...piss off or i'll piss all over.....if he feels like throwing up its because his stomache hurts, i don't need your ****ing jokes to contend with.......how a bout life and death never mind who pukes on stinking carpets.....we are not teeny-bopping puke group...go read your teeny bop puke magazines"

this part is joe for real

How anyone can stay up past 12:00 is beyond me. Unlike you crazy kids, I needs me sleeps.



This thread is pretty crazy though, 350 posts in two days by four people? We rock.

[albert_bass]

No, you suck.












A little.

[CombatRock]

ahhh..the thread still lives..i was reading in that NME mag. and it had an interview with joe.and joe said that his brother was a nazi...and his brother commited suicide. yall know that?

[guns_of_brixton]

ahhh..the thread still lives..i was reading in that NME mag. and it had an interview with joe.and joe said that his brother was a nazi...and his brother commited suicide. yall know that?

I never knew that. And how did the reading exam go?

[CombatRock]

eeeeeeeeeasy..finished in less than an hour so i got the whole time to read in tht mag.

[guns_of_brixton]

Yea, I've got a test tomorrow, but my motto is f.uck studying, so I'll be here all day.

This thread has taken away my life :(.

[SlappedByTheClash]

I said goodbye to a life the day I stumbled upon Mx.

[Coma_Girl]

ahhh..the thread still lives..i was reading in that NME mag. and it had an interview with joe.and joe said that his brother was a nazi...and his brother commited suicide. yall know that?
i knew he commited suicide.didnt know he was a nazi though.i know Joe really loved his brother and he really loved grenada (spain) and he once said that his brother would be still alive if he knew a cool place like grenada existed.spanish bombs...in grenada! :D

[SlappedByTheClash]

Spanish songs in Andalucia, back to the sites in the days of 39.


Or something like that.

[Jessizzle]

That was Such a sexy bio. hahaha.

[SlappedByTheClash]

You read that rep?

[Jessizzle]

yeah i just saw it. haha

i gotaa spread :(

[SlappedByTheClash]

Cooliolio.

[Coma_Girl]

Spanish songs in Andalucia, back to the sites in the days of 39.


Or something like that.
i think it is
im flying on a DC 10 tonight
spanish songs in andalucia, mandolina, oh mi corazon
spanish songs in granada...

the endddd!


i love the line "frederico lorca is dead and gone"

[SlappedByTheClash]

I never knew the could speak en Espanol.


That makes them even cooler.

[Coma_Girl]

the truth is that they never really spoke spanish...joe tried to learn, but the spanish part in their songs are often full of grammar mistakes.that's what i heard cause i dont speak spanish.at least they tried!!!
they should have tried french.

[SlappedByTheClash]

It's better than nothing, more bands need to crossover into Spanish, since it is going to be the dominant language in the United States in the next 30 years.

[Forest_Fire]

he couldnt speak english that well either

[Jessizzle]

i can speak almost 10 words of spainish.

[guns_of_brixton]

I took spanish so I could find out what the clash were saying in Spanish Bombs. Corazon= heart

I'm cool

[guns_of_brixton]

You guys know Westway won a grammy, right?

[SlappedByTheClash]

Alright guys, people are honestly getting pissed at me for spam amounts, so from here on out, let's keep it Clash/Joe related, alright?

[guns_of_brixton]

sounds good to me

[CombatRock]

Alright guys, people are honestly getting pissed at me for spam amounts, so from here on out, let's keep it Clash/Joe related, alright?

people were complaining at this thread cos of spam?

[SlappedByTheClash]

Just at me in general, and I agree with them, I took it over the top.

[Coma_Girl]

anyone heard about carbon/silicon?
Mick's new band.i haven't heard any song yet

[SlappedByTheClash]

No, I might need to check that out.

[Coma_Girl]

i just watched sid & nancy and the song at the end is really good.
love kills by joe strummer

[SlappedByTheClash]

I've never seen that movie, is it good?


But, anything about Nancy Spungen would be total trash, so I don't think I'd want to see it.

[CDR_Cool]

It's alright, I watched it once a while ago, I think I fell asleep watching it cuz it was on at like 2am. the actors are funny when they play shows on the movie

[Coma_Girl]

joe did all the music with the pogues.

it's a pretty good movie.i really like it...it's really...symbolic...i dont know how to explain it.I just got the real meaning of everything in the movie the second time i watched it.

[guns_of_brixton]

i just watched sid & nancy and the song at the end is really good.
love kills by joe strummer

ive never seen the movie or heard the song.

[guns_of_brixton]

Didn't the Pouges cover a few Clash songs? If so, could you guys tell me which ones?

[Coma_Girl]

i think they covered them live while joe was on tour with them.i have no idea which ones though

[Forest_Fire]

i know dropkick murphys have covered a bunch of their songs. i have the singles collection, but i dont remember if the covers are any good becuase i never listen to it

[SlappedByTheClash]

They covered Career Oppurtunities, Guns Of Brixton, and 1 other one I can't remember.


They did pretty decent versions.

[Forest_Fire]

white riot was the other one. maybe more

[SlappedByTheClash]

Yeah, probably.


I downloaded it, so I never really pay attention to the song list.

[Coma_Girl]

i heard a cover of clash city rockers by saves the day.it was awful

[Forest_Fire]

they covered an ac/dc song i think, but then changed the end...



but back to joe strummer and not the dropkick murphys:

[SlappedByTheClash]

Did you guys know Joe was supposed to have a show on MTV2, but he died before it was finished shooting?

[guns_of_brixton]

what was it going to be called?

[guns_of_brixton]

i heard a cover of clash city rockers by saves the day.it was awful

I heard No Doubt covered Hateful.

[SlappedByTheClash]

Rockin' Around The Globe, or something similar.


I watched some clips on Strummernews.com, it looked pretty sweet, because all he did was talk about his experiences and play music videos from Reggae/World musicians.

[guns_of_brixton]

I definetely would've watched it.

[SlappedByTheClash]

So would I.


Screw corporate protesting, if Joe's on MTV2, I'm watching it.

[Forest_Fire]

our local channel had a three hour special on about the clash a couple months ago. it inspired me to pull out my essential clash and listen to it and ive been hooked on it since. I love it.

[Coma_Girl]

we'll never get the chance to watch this show...shiiiiiit :upset:


i have this picture of joe in my msn thing, it's the one with joe and his "passion is a fashion" jacket.the girl i was talking to was like "ohhhhh who's this hot guy?" so i said "joe strummer...he was in the clash, you know?he's great!..look it's joe and the meskies" and i changed the pictures for one of joe with the mescaleros and she said "ewwwww he's not hot after all...why do you listen to music by such an old man...he could be your dad".


conclusion: some girls are stupid.

[guns_of_brixton]

THat says alot, because mtv2 is crap.

[guns_of_brixton]

we'll never get the chance to watch this show...shiiiiiit :upset:

Joe rocked more than all other old guys on the planet.

[Coma_Girl]

i wish joe was my dad

[Coma_Girl]

awww me too.it would be so cool, but i guess if joe was my dad, i wouldnt listen tot he clash and the mescaleros that much.

[AndreTheHyena]

Has anyone seen the Hell-cat promo video where Tim Armstrong and Joe Strummer are on a rooftop, and Joe says something like, "It's Joe Strummer and Tim Armstrong, OG and punk rock warlord"? It's tight.

[guns_of_brixton]

If Joe was my dad, I would love those take your kid to work day things.

[Coma_Girl]

Has anyone seen the Hell-cat promo video where Tim Armstrong and Joe Strummer are on a rooftop, and Joe says something like, "It's Joe Strummer and Tim Armstrong, OG and punk rock warlord"? It's tight.
i've never seen it...the stupid videos on epitaph website dont want to play on my ****ing computer!

[guns_of_brixton]

I just read that Bernie co-wrote the-album-that-must-not-be-named. He should've stuck to his day job...

[Coma_Girl]

i'm pretty sure he did.
bernie was kinda strange.
he told joe that combat rock was a bad album, but it's their big hit in the usa...and bernie wanted them to be big in the usa...to have a lot of money.


haha the last testament dvd! :lol: with guy stevens throwing chairs everywhere.ahhh i love that.

When are the Clash comin out with a new album?

I'm not sure if this is a joke or not, but the Clash are never coming out with a new album. Their last "real" album was released in 1982.

[TheNowhereman42]

was that that awesome Clash Acoustic one I have?

[CombatRock]

i'm pretty sure he did.
bernie was kinda strange.
he told joe that combat rock was a bad album, but it's their big hit in the usa...and bernie wanted them to be big in the usa...to have a lot of money.


haha the last testament dvd! :lol: with guy stevens throwing chairs everywhere.ahhh i love that.

i heard somone were that on one song on london calling, you can hear somone yelling cos of a thrown chair..has anyone else heard of this or is it just a clash myth

Maybe Bernie was pissed about Rock the Casbah, since it was basically a joke on him.

And on the Last Testament dvd Topper said that a stack of chairs fell on Guy and you can hear it on the album! Guy really had ome issues with chairs.

[CombatRock]

.
i thought rock the casbah was a song about the middle east not letting music be played there or somthing along those lines?

[guns_of_brixton]

Yea, I think it really does exist, but I dont know which song.

[TheNowhereman42]

Well Combat Rock did suck

[AndreTheHyena]

When are the Clash comin out with a new album?

Joke account.

[Coma_Girl]

i thought rock the casbah was a song about the middle east not letting music be played there or somthing along those lines?
the part

the king told the boogie man
you gotta let that raga drop

is clearly about bernie

[CombatRock]

yea but

"by order of the prophet ban that boogie sound"

i always though it meant middle eastern government banning like punk or new wave music..idk i might be wrong

[guns_of_brixton]

i thought rock the casbah was a song about the middle east not letting music be played there or somthing along those lines?

I heard that Bernie kept complaining that all of the tracks on Combat Rock (while still recording it) sounded like ragas (I'm not sure what raga means :confused:) so Joe wrote the lines: "Now the king told the boogie men/ you've got to let that raga drop."

And it turned into a hit single :).

a hit single and a funny video :lol:

[AndreTheHyena]

I'm pretty sure "raga" is a Middle-Eastern-influenced song structure, or something similar.

[CombatRock]

a hit single and a funny video :lol:
isnt the video shot in el paso texas?

[guns_of_brixton]

I'm pretty sure "raga" is a Middle-Eastern-influenced song structure, or something similar.

Probably. I thought it was what Brits called reggae :D.

[guns_of_brixton]

isnt the video shot in el paso texas?

Yea, I think the limo with the arabian dude says "el paso limo." And the armadillo is awesome :D.

[CombatRock]

yea the video is funny...here is some useless info...after the clash broke up paul simonon moved to elpaso...so now i can say i live in the same state paul use to live in :)

[guns_of_brixton]

Awesome :thumb:. Do you know long Paul lived there?

[CombatRock]

im not sure...however long he was in havana 3:am..cos thats were the band has located at...i wish he still lived there, i would drive up there and meet my idol...but im sure he lives in england now

[guns_of_brixton]

im not sure...however long he was in havana 3:am..cos thats were the band has located at...i wish he still lived there, i would drive up there and meet my idol...but im sure he lives in england now

Yea, he paints in London now. I'm going to sleep, so see you guys tomorrow.

[CombatRock]

peace...does all the members of clash live in england now?

[TheNowhereman42]

Joe Strummer doesn't

[Coma_Girl]

Joe Strummer doesn't
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[CombatRock]

Joe Strummer doesn't yeap cos he is in heaven which is better than england

[TheNowhereman42]

no, he's going "Straight to Hell"

har har

[Coma_Girl]

yeap cos he is in heaven which is better than england
did joe really believe in heaven/hell/god/religion anyway?

[AndreTheHyena]

I'd like to think he did, at least to a degree, though I doubt he was Christian.

[Coma_Girl]

no, he's going "Straight to Hell"

har har
no.if he's somewhere, he's in the punk rock heaven. :D

[TheNowhereman42]

With GG Alin ><

[CombatRock]

I'd like to think he did, at least to a degree, though I doubt he was Christian.
i dont think he was anti christ..but i dont belive you go to heaven cos of your belifs, its what you do on earth.and if thats the case joe is in heaven

[TheNowhereman42]

he probably believed in some obscure eastern religion, knowing him

[Coma_Girl]

i dont think he was anti christ..but i dont belive you go to heaven cos of your belifs, its what you do on earth.and if thats the case joe is in heaven
i'm always wondering stupid things like...what is death like.it makes me sick to know we all have to die someday and that joe died so young...he could have written a lot of great songs.maybe he writes songs in heaven or something.huh whatever


or when i have a decision to take "what would joe do in this situation"

[Coma_Girl]

he probably believed in some obscure eastern religion, knowing him
i think he believed in nothing really.kinda like me.i don't believe in any religion, but i know there's something somewhere and i have to call it god cause i dont know what it is..but it's not the bible one.he had his own god.

[TheNowhereman42]

I for one think death is great.

Even with death so few people live life to the fullest, imagine how little would get done if we didn't have it.

I find WWBMD? usually works

[CombatRock]

joes my god

[TheNowhereman42]

then wouldn't having a Bob Marley icon be worshipping a false idol?

[CombatRock]

re say that? that made no sense to me

[TheNowhereman42]

becuase...its...not a Joe Strummer icon?

[Coma_Girl]

id say "joe is my god too"
but i think he wouldnt like that at all

[TheNowhereman42]

of course that statement shows a high level of worship and idolatry anyway, so he probably wouldn't like that....or this :amaze:

[Coma_Girl]

:upset: ohhh anyway.everybody knows i have a cult for joe strummer.and he probably know it too

[TheNowhereman42]

I started a cult for myself, I have three members and a mexican

[SactoUnited]

Can I join!!!????

[SlappedByTheClash]

When are the Clash comin out with a new album?


I hate you for coming in my thread and posting that.


I know who you are. :amaze:

[CombatRock]

werent the clash talkigna bout touring again, before joe died

[SlappedByTheClash]

They wanted to at least do a reunion show, but Joe wasn't allowing it.


Because unlike The Sex Pistols, he still had a bit of integrity.


I would've paid mega bucks to see that show though, as I am shameless.

[CombatRock]

i would give anythign to see them, even if there old and fat and bald
(mick jones)

[SlappedByTheClash]

WHich reminds me, have you seen Steve Jones lately?


He's all fat and weird. It upset me for some reason.


He was the only Pistol I liked as a person.

[Coma_Girl]

they dont even mention the album-that-must-not-be-named on the dvd. :lol: i never noticed before.

i'm glad the clash never reformed...and when they thought about it for the RnRHF, Joe died...so it's really a sign that they should never reform...NEVER.

[guns_of_brixton]

after the-album-that-must-must-not-be-named, they knew better than to reform. I bet Bernie tried to get them to at some point though.

[guns_of_brixton]

Can I join!!!????

If your heart desires.... on the other hand, you were the joke account, so you only get a junior membership.

[Coma_Girl]

well...they resisted to millions of dollars offers.
they deserve respect just for that.

[guns_of_brixton]

Paul said he would only do it if his family was starving.

[Coma_Girl]

i know, but his family is not starving.

and joe id dead...they would never reform without joe...huh? :upset:

[guns_of_brixton]

i know, but his family is not starving.

and joe id dead...they would never reform without joe...huh? :upset:

I think I said it earlier, but if they reformed and called themselves the Clash, I would be dissapointed. But if they did like a tribut to Joe, that would be cool.

Oh, and I found and Topper was off drugs.

[Coma_Girl]

he sold his drum set on ebay a while ago...the one he played when he heard about joe's death.

i know you said it earlier.but i just hope they'll never get that stupid idea.

[whowritesyourrules]

too vague. more detail.
its alright

[guns_of_brixton]

he sold his drum set on ebay a while ago...the one he played when he heard about joe's death.

i know you said it earlier.but i just hope they'll never get that stupid idea.

I never knew that. Do you know how much he got for it?

[Coma_Girl]

I never knew that. Do you know how much he got for it?
i have no idea.he tried to sell it a couple of time but apparently no one wanted it..maybe this time it worked

[TheNowhereman42]

Can I join!!!????

yes.

[CombatRock]

i have no idea.he tried to sell it a couple of time but apparently no one wanted it..maybe this time it worked


oh its on ebay right now?

[Coma_Girl]

i dont know.probably not anymore.

[TheNowhereman42]

I could use a drumset

[CombatRock]

my band could use a drummer...do anyoff yall ebay, if so whats the coolest clash thing you seen there...

mine would be a painting off the london calling cover

[TheNowhereman42]

I have the origional pressing London Calling downstairs framed.

...b'itches!

found it in my grandma's attic, my mom bought it long long ago, muahahahaha!

[CombatRock]

wait, whats the orginal pressing of london calling, do youmean the album on viynl

[TheNowhereman42]

I mean like the origional pressing...uhhhh....can someone else explain? I'm really too lazy, and I can't think of how to explain it

[TheNowhereman42]

like, when a record is put out...they print a certain amount of them, and then after they all sell out, they print more. I have one from the first batch printed, although its not exactly in the best condition...

[Coma_Girl]

:upset: ohhh.you're lucky.

i'll kill you and your family and steal it.

[TheNowhereman42]

good luck finding where i LIVE!


...santa clarita...all you have to do is find one british guy, because for some reason theres some sort of underground british scene here where all british people know every other british person in the whole town.

[Coma_Girl]

WHAT!?you have an original pressing of london calling and you're british.

i hate you.you have the Joe Strummer's train.You have rebel's wood.You have everything! :evil:

[TheNowhereman42]

my dad saw The Ramones once, and both parents saw The Clash

[Coma_Girl]

my dad saw The Ramones once, and both parents saw The Clash

:upset: :upset: :upset: :upset:
are you trying to show me how much my life sucks?do you really want me to commit suicide?

[TheNowhereman42]

pretty much :lol:

if it makes you feel any better, my dad didn't get to enjoy The Ramones because all his friends had a vendetta against American punk, and he didn't know who they were at the time anyway

[CombatRock]

[TheNowhereman42]

[CombatRock]
