[AndreTheHyena]

Coma Girl: I dunno why, but you're possibly one of the coolest girls I've ever came across.

[CombatRock]

hell ya she is

[Coma_Girl]

did anybody ever see that old Hellcat promo vid where Joe kept reffering to himself as "The OG of Punk"?
i read an interview where he is reffering to himself as "a living legend of punk rock" though.but he can say it, because it's true.no fake modesty

[Coma_Girl]

Coma Girl: I dunno why, but you're possibly one of the coolest girls I've ever came across.
ohhh...is that a sarcasm?
if it's not a sarcasm, thanks.but i'd like to know why... :amaze:

[TheNowhereman42]

"Catch you on the flipside, copper"

*holds up water bottle* "YESS! Mission accomplished! Thank you Satan!!!"

[CombatRock]

joe can say anything he wants and its true..to me joe is the defention punk rock

[AndreTheHyena]

Ha, I have a man-crush on Tim Armstrong. He's tuff.

[Coma_Girl]

"Catch you on the flipside, copper"

*holds up water bottle* "YESS! Mission accomplished! Thank you Satan!!!"
heeeeeh.clash thread!

[CombatRock]

Ha, I have a man-crush on Tim Armstrong. He's tuff.
theres nothign wrong with man crushes ahah
ii have one on paul speicallly when hes playing his bass..im starting to sound a little queer

[TheNowhereman42]

GOd I hope Rancid stops being lame....I hope soooooooooo much

[CombatRock]

clash>rancid
thats why we have 22 pages talking bout them
back to clash discussions

[AndreTheHyena]

I don't care if they're lame or not. They're still my favorite band. Shucks, I haven't really listened to them in a long time.

[Coma_Girl]

joe can say anything he wants and its true..to me joe is the defention punk rock
heh!you read my text and stole the principal idea. i wrote it for school.(here's a part of the text with a bad translation)

I was at a record store, and there were these two guys talking about how 'punk died with Sid Vicious' and that 'it was dead for good'.I thought to myself "Sid was all about 'looking good and being a junkie', pretty much everybody know that."

The good thing is that I started to think about the whole 'punk is dead' thing.What's punk anyway?For me, punk died december 22, 2002.The day Joe Strummer died.He always fought for his convictions, always cared more about the fans than the money, he sew politics and music together and he always played what he wanted to play.He always wanted things to change and acted to make this world a better place.He is an inspiration and a positive influence.And he was in the greatest band of all time.That's my perception of punk rock, whatever punk rock is.But when I say that punk died with him...it's the attitude...not the music.Cause when you think about it, music can't die.To someone, it can seems like punk died with Joey or Johnny Ramone...or even Sid...cause they were to them what Joe was to me.But there's something people need to understand...MUSIC CAN'T DIE.

[CombatRock]

yea there a good band...are they going to tour anytime soon..they havent up dated there site in a almost a year..


andy: did you write that thing, if so thats really good, i agree with everything you just stated

[AndreTheHyena]

yea there a good band...are they going to tour anytime soon..they havent up dated there site in a almost a year..

They're on hiatus. There's another Transplants album coming out, Lars is touring with the Bastards, Matt is spending time with his new kid, and Brett is building hotrods.

[Coma_Girl]

theres nothign wrong with man crushes ahah
ii have one on paul speicallly when hes playing his bass..im starting to sound a little queer
paul wasnt that hot.he was hot with his hair like sid's hair, but when he cut them, he wasnt hot anymore.

[CombatRock]

paul wasnt that hot.he was hot with his hair like sid's hair, but when he cut them, he wasnt hot anymore.

i dont guys attractive so you win this argument..lol

but my sister thinks paul and joe are hot but she said topper looks like a old crack addict, shes close

[TheNowhereman42]

to me punk died when Crass came out with uh..."Punk is Dead"

[CombatRock]

i never liked crass..wasnt there conflict between crass and the clash

[Coma_Girl]

i dont guys attractive so you win this argument..lol

but my sister thinks paul and joe are hot but she said topper looks like a old crack addict, shes close
maybe it's because i know what they look like right now (old and weird).maybe it's because i have way too much respect for them...but i dont think they're that hot.i don't really care.oh wait.joe is really hot on this black & white picture where he wears the "passion is a fashion" jacket.

Mick looked like a little puppy.now he looks like a pervert.
Topper always looked like an heroin addict and always will.

but who cares!they're the greatest guys ever.

[TheNowhereman42]

i never liked crass..wasnt there conflict between crass and the clash

yeah Crass always hated The Clash, The Ramones, Sex Pistols, a lot of the oldschool bands, because they were mostly sellouts and hipocrits, and were too worried about images and "punk credentials"

EDIT: They said that we were trash, but our name is Crass, not The Clash!

[CombatRock]

haha, paul had a hot girl friend i saw a pic of her in that NME mag..is that who he married?

[Coma_Girl]

i never liked crass..wasnt there conflict between crass and the clash
"they said that we were trash, well the name is crass, not clash"

somebody sent me a crass song, and this is some of the lyrics.i was...mad.

[CombatRock]

yeah Crass always hated The Clash, The Ramones, Sex Pistols, a lot of the oldschool bands, because they were mostly sellouts and hipocrits, and were too worried about images and "punk credentials"
yea..uh..crass suck IMO they sounds like a marching band

[TheNowhereman42]

thats the drums.

I love Crass anyway, and frankly I don't really care whether they hate The Clash or not. Crass is mostly about the message though.

[CombatRock]

i never listend to them but a couple of songs and it sounded like i was listing to my high school drum line with brittish rumbling in the background

[Coma_Girl]

is there a thing you dont like about the clash or joe strummer?i mean their opinions or whatever...(not the album-that-must-not-be-named)

[CombatRock]

i really cant think of anything other than the fact that they were all skinny make me jelous but then it motivates me to lose weight! there really isnt anythign i dislike about them

[AndreTheHyena]

I like Crass, but I love the Clash.

[TheNowhereman42]

exactly, I don't find anything wrong with The Clash, I just happen to like Crass as well

[Coma_Girl]

there's only one thing i dont like about them.they were too perfect.so sometimes i feel like it was all a lie and that maybe they weren't so awesome and nice, and true and everything.but when i think more about it, i know they were really like what they seemed to be.

just look at Joe.his opinions were sometimes confused, but he really believed in them and it was the only thing that mattered.he was TRUE.he was so perfect.he wasnt a perfect person, no one is perfect, but his imperfections made him perfect.like the clash...if you understand what i mean.i'm kinda confused

[TheNowhereman42]

Do any of you have the Back to the Basics: Live at Hammersmith Station acoustic album? Its really really good

[Coma_Girl]

Do any of you have the Back to the Basics: Live at Hammersmith Station acoustic album? Its really really good

[guns_of_brixton]

You guys were busy while I was gone

[Coma_Girl]

i fell asleep in my math class and dreamed about the clash...

i was at the records store trying to find a clash shirt (??) with "long distance callers make long distance calls and the silence makes me lonely" written in the back.

[CombatRock]

i never knew that there was a shirt like that..didyou get it?

[guns_of_brixton]

If they make that shirt I want it. And did the record store have the shirt? :lol:

[Coma_Girl]

no.it was a dream...
but it would be awesome if a shirt like that existed.i think i'm gonna make one.

[Forest_Fire]

sharpie time

[guns_of_brixton]

A few years ago when I took art, we made t-shirts. I should've made that one :upset:.

[streetpunx87]

not that anyone cares Joe strummer was born one day before me . I like the clash I have a book with some stuff about them in it it's cool. :amaze:

[guns_of_brixton]

What's the book called?

[Forest_Fire]

i almost got a joe strummer/the clash book at borders the other day, but it was $22, and i had to buy an aquateen hungerforce dvd instead

[guns_of_brixton]

What was that book called? Was it the Last Gang in Town?

[Forest_Fire]

i dont remember. It was written after joe's death. thats all i remember

[streetpunx87]

It had like all the good punk bands in from like back in the day till now it was my friends i Just remeber the clash was in it but when i get back all tell you guys the title i hope i get it back ...

[guns_of_brixton]

i dont remember. It was written after joe's death. thats all i remember

Yea, I don't know of too many Clash books.

[Coma_Girl]

not that anyone cares Joe strummer was born one day before me
you're born on august 22?but not the same year

or maybe you're 52. :naughty:

[streetpunx87]

not the same year 1990 **** it i was born the 20th

[Coma_Girl]

there's probably more but:
Books...

Clash:
-passion is a fashion
-the last gang in town
-the return of the last gang in town
-the clash
-a riot of our own: night and day with the clash
-best of the clash
-the complete clash

Joe:
-let fury have the hour: punk rock politics of joe strummer
-redemption song: the ballad of joe strummer

Mescaleros:
-vision of an homeland

[guns_of_brixton]

Which ones are worth reading? I'd definetly like to read some of those.

[Coma_Girl]

i havent read them, i just know they exist.

the ones i plan on buying right now is Let fury have the hour, passion is a fashion and vision of an homeland.

but my mom dont want me to use her credit card to buy things off internet...so i guess i'll have to order them from a book store and it will cost 30$ and take 5 months before the store receive it.i'm so broke, i dont even have money to take the bus to montreal to go to shows...so yeah, i won't read them soon.

[TheNowhereman42]

whats back to the basic...whose band is htat?

thats the name of the album, its a live Clash recording, and the only (?) acoustic album they did.

Recorded in 1985 at Hammersmith Station

[guns_of_brixton]

Bummer :(. The library over here had The Last Gang in Town last time I checked, but that was about six months ago. Unfortunately I'm broke too :upset:.

[Coma_Girl]

[TheNowhereman42]

Steal it!

or just go into Barnes and Noble for like a whole day and read it there

[Coma_Girl]

Steal it!

or just go into Barnes and Noble for like a whole day and read it there
i used to do that.i almost read whole book about the sex pistols once, but the guy just told me to buy it or to leave...i was almost at the end of the book! :upset:

[guns_of_brixton]

Steal it!

or just go into Barnes and Noble for like a whole day and read it there

I've considered the second option :D.

[TheNowhereman42]

I spent an entire summer once on like one block. It had a Barnes & Noble, my favorite smoothies place, an awesome Korean Market, a Trader Joes, a Fatburger, and a Q-zar (laser tag/arcade) hours of fun.

[Coma_Girl]

[Coma_Girl]

is it just me or does anyone find his voice extreamly sexy?

errmmm.i wont answer this question

[WorryRocker921]

[guns_of_brixton]

i watched westway yesterday again.and watched i part i had never seen before.

topper puked on buddy holly's grave. :confused: that's what he said.

:lol: I've never seen this part before. When did he say it?

[Coma_Girl]

:lol: I've never seen this part before. When did he say it?
in the exclusive interviews part.when he talks about his addiction.

puking on someone's grave = straight to hell

poor topper.

[Coma_Girl]

i'm a girl....anyway I like his voice. Maybe "sexy" isn't the right word.
not the right word.i'd say 'awesome', not 'sexy'

[WorryRocker921]

yeah deffenitly. sorry.

[Coma_Girl]

joe rolls in his grave and it's your fault.

[WorryRocker921]

[SlappedByTheClash]

[Forest_Fire]

edit: to cr*b

[Coma_Girl]

this thread is immortal.like the clash...mmm, i mean, their music.

[CombatRock]

you sure to dream about the clash allot

[guns_of_brixton]

This thread is immortal like Topper. No amount of drugs can kill him.

[WorryRocker921]

good. glad my stupid comment didn't kill the tread about the greatest band ever.

[guns_of_brixton]

Only Cheeser (the original one) could kill this thread.

[Coma_Girl]

you sure to dream about the clash allot
it's because i always dream about what i listen to when i fall asleep...and usually, it's streetcore.

i was so ****ing sad when i woke up :upset:

[Coma_Girl]

This thread is immortal like Topper. No amount of drugs can kill him.
:lol: so true.

[guns_of_brixton]

Once I dreamed I was in the Clash and Mick never existed. Even worse, London Calling never existed, instead "we" made a crappy album called "We are the Clash," which is the name of a song on the-album-that-must-not-be-named. It was a nightmare.

[Forest_Fire]

it's because i always dream about what i listen to when i fall asleep...and usually, it's streetcore.

i like to listen to the clash a lot when i go to sleep, i dont know why.


never, EVER go to sleep listening to Pink Floyd's "The Wall".

creepiest. dream. ever.

[CombatRock]

GoB, you last two commetns made me laugh

edit: not your last post the two before it

[SlappedByTheClash]

That's why I will never listen to Pink Floyd.:smoke:

the album-that-must-not-be-named IS a nightmare itself.

but i am the only one who think it's strange that they wrote a song called "we are the clash" when they weren't really the clash anymore.As if they wanted to prove they still believed in the band.Joe knew it was over.i know he knew it!

[guns_of_brixton]

GoB, you last two commetns made me laugh

edit: not your last post the two before it

Ahh yes, the good old days. Cheeser was an idiot.

[Forest_Fire]

That's why I will never listen to Pink Floyd.:smoke:

I used to love them. a looooong time ago. i still recommend the movie though. It's a masterpiece

::makes on topic refrence::

Ive listened to "Career Opportunities" about 40 times today. i love that song

[SlappedByTheClash]

Career Oppurtunities is my favorite Clash song I'm thinking.


Or not, I can't remember. I'll just say it is for now.

[CombatRock]

career opportunities...great song...the song i love listing over and over again is captial radio

[guns_of_brixton]

the album-that-must-not-be-named IS a nightmare itself.

Yea, Joe never talks about it. And a principle rule of music is that any band with Terry Crimes (or Chimes) is crappy. And its also funny how they called it *gasp* Cut the Crap, since it was a PIECE of crap.

[SlappedByTheClash]

I used to listen to Safe European Home on repeat fer like 4 hours, I used to be so obsessed with that song.

[WorryRocker921]

Latley I've been loving the song white man in hammersmith palais. I don't know why, it's just a good song.

[guns_of_brixton]

Latley I've been loving the song white man in hammersmith palais. I don't know why, it's just a good song.

I agree. It gets better every time.

[Forest_Fire]

i love the end of it when hes all like

"Rudy Rudy Rudy, Rudy Rudy Rudy, Rudy can't fail"

edit: to SBTC

[WorryRocker921]

Wow, I've never talked to people who actully like The Clash and know they're songs.

[WorryRocker921]

I agree. It gets better every time.

I like the "one two three four" at the beginning because the "four" is so British sounding.

[Forest_Fire]

Wow, I've never talked to people who actully like The Clash and know they're songs.

:eek:

where do you live?

[guns_of_brixton]

I used to listen to Safe European Home on repeat fer like 4 hours, I used to be so obsessed with that song.

Yea, I love the part where it goes "They've got the weed, They got the taxis." I thought it was so awesome that they said weed in a song :cool:.

[SlappedByTheClash]

I had this awesome Joe avatar that had him leaning on something with his jacket slung over his shoulder looking all bada'ss, and it flashes between that and the words, "Stay Cool, Motherf'uckers".


I thought that was the s'hit

[Forest_Fire]

where is it??

clash > AM!

[guns_of_brixton]

I like the "one two three four" at the beginning because the "four" is so British sounding.

I think Clash City Rockers has the most British sounding vocals I've ever heard, aside from Sex and Drugs an Rock n Roll by Ian Dury and the Blockheads.

[WorryRocker921]

:eek:

where do you live?

um...In Westen Pennslyvania and all my friends listen to ****ty emo bands that I want to kill. The only other person that likes the clash as much as me that i know is my boyfriend, but he dosn't listen to them nearly as much as I do.

[Coma_Girl]

career opportunities...great song...the song i love listing over and over again is captial radio
"Bernie told us to write...to write about what we knew.We were looking in the paper and Paul said 'what about career opportunities" (joe in westway)

am i the only one who think that with Joe as a president, all the social problems would be gone?I guess he would not really care about money so there would be a lotof debts, but who cares about the debts!

[SlappedByTheClash]

where is it??

clash > AM!


My computer crashed and a lot of my documents were lost. :upset:



I need to remake it.

[guns_of_brixton]

There are already alot of debts :D. Joe might be a good president, but he would probably never run for a political job.

[WorryRocker921]

he's too cool for politics.

[CombatRock]

[Forest_Fire]

[WorryRocker921]

yeah I'm not nearly obsessed as you guys...I wish I was :( I'm getting there.

My friends is making me the sweetest thing EVER. I was at Hot Topic (i dont know WHY i was there) and I saw a London Calling record and I just thought "I HAVE to get this" My one super-artistic friend is making me a purse out of the Record Cover. I'm not exactly sure how she does it, I saw her do it before, but It's going to be so hot.

[guns_of_brixton]

[CombatRock]

This reminds me, I was walking around in downtown Chicago and I spotted an ORIGINAL vinyl of the Clash's s/t. My eyes light up when I saw it, and I must've stared at it for a few minutes from the store window. I had to have it, but I was broke :upset:.

[WorryRocker921]

yeah none of my friends have even HEARD of them. They act like the know...they will never know.

[TheNowhereman42]

I have that acoustic thing on both comps now if you wanna log on to slsk quickly coma

[Forest_Fire]

slowly leak a little good stuff to them. i didnt like the clash at first

[guns_of_brixton]

the clash, i never heard the blockheads..they any good?

I've only heard that one song, and when I first heard it I thought it was Crass.

[Coma_Girl]

I was wondering about something today. What is Lover's Rock about? Is it a thing or a place :confused:? .
Yeh, you must treat your lover girl right
If you wanna make lover's rock
You must know a place you can kiss to make lovers rock
'Cause everybody knows it's a crying shame
But nobody knows the poor babie's name
When she forgot that thing that she had to swallow

You Western man, you're free with your seed
When you make lovers rock
But woops! there goes the strength that you need
To make real cool lovers rock
'Cause a genuine lover takes off his clothes
And he can make a lover in a thousand go's
An' she don't need that thing that she had to swallow


i think it's about having sex without protection (aka contraceptive pills, or whatever you call it in english) and the girl gets pregnant.

[guns_of_brixton]

and im the king...or prince :thumb:

You're the king. I'm the prince :thumb:.

[guns_of_brixton]

Yea, some people thought it was about oral sex.

[Coma_Girl]

can you ermm...explain how it works.cause i dont know :upset:

[WorryRocker921]

Yeah...I tired to get my friend to listen to "Train In Vain" during history one day. She has the worst taste in music because she likes whatever rap song just came out yesterday. But I figured she might like it because it's one of the more "popy-er" songs.

One time me and my boyfriend were in my room talking about the song "lovers rock" and what it was about and stuff...then my dad walked in halfway through the conversation....It's hard to explain stuff like that to your parents.

[guns_of_brixton]

And I've never heard the word contraceptive in my life. Your english is better than mine :(.

[TheNowhereman42]

can you ermm...explain how it works.cause i dont know :upset:

just log on and tell me your username, I'll take care of it from there

[Forest_Fire]

[Coma_Girl]

woah i love you.

AndyCan'tFail

[Coma_Girl]

I don't know. Its just like the beginning of Clampdown. We may never know :).
i think it says

the british punk rockers controlled by the price of the drug they must find...

(that's what my friend told me)

edit: complete control...not clampdown

[guns_of_brixton]

Do any of you ever notice that on all of the Clash's live performances (except for the Guns of Brixton, of course) that Paul's voice can't really be heard on the backup vocals?

[Coma_Girl]

paul has a big british accent when he says 'as in heaven as in hell'

[Forest_Fire]

Do any of you ever notice that on all of the Clash's live performances (except for the Guns of Brixton, of course) that Paul's voice can't really be heard on the backup vocals?

i havent gotten to see much of their live stuff. i saw some on a special on tv, but ive forgotten most of it. :(
are there any good live dvds?

[guns_of_brixton]

You must buy their dvds! Yes, they are very very good, especially Westway to the World.

[Forest_Fire]

what about th essential clash? they have it at best buy

[Coma_Girl]

i could watch the part where joe relate the riot and the fat women screaming at least 50 times in a row.

[guns_of_brixton]

paul has a big british accent when he says 'as in heaven as in hell'

Yea, The Clash have huge accents. And I thought it was pretty awesome in Westway when they show about 30 seconds of a performance of the Guns of Brixton and Joe is playing the bass.

[guns_of_brixton]

what about th essential clash? they have it at best buy

Essential Clash is good too.

[guns_of_brixton]

i could watch the part where joe relate the riot and the fat women screaming at least 50 times in a row.

"Ahh! They're going to light the car! Don't light the car on fire!" absolutely hilarious!

[TheNowhereman42]

still not as funny as the hellcat video

[Coma_Girl]

Yea, The Clash have huge accents. And I thought it was pretty awesome in Westway when they show about 30 seconds of a performance of the Guns of Brixton and Joe is playing the bass.
yep!!

joe's accent is not that bad.depends on the song...or maybe i just get use to his voice.

[guns_of_brixton]

True, you can't hear his accent as much when he sings.

[guns_of_brixton]

Andy, you should do a band profile on the Mescaleros.

[Coma_Girl]

"I remember being sick on buddy holly's grave" -Topper
"Loooord!They're gonna set the car on fire!" -Joe doing the fat women
"...a bit of robbing" -Paul doing a cute face
"i looked around the table and every face was black.that's when i started thinking 'well it's not really my story' but it was in a way cause it was my background" -Paul

[Coma_Girl]

Andy, you should do a band profile on the Mescaleros.

[WorryRocker921]

[guns_of_brixton]
