[SlappedByTheClash]

I started this mofo and I don't have anywhere near the highest posts in it.


Weird...

[guns_of_brixton]

I am almost the new Clash whore. And yes, group hug :).

[SlappedByTheClash]

Group hugs help keep it posi.:thumb:

[Forest_Fire]

1000 replies in only two weeks. i wonder how long this will live.


a year from now, mxers will be talking about SlappedByTheClash's monster Joe Strummer thread.

[guns_of_brixton]

If we go at this rate for a year and a half we can overtake the community thread.

[SlappedByTheClash]

A year from now, I'll be complaining about no one caring about my Strummer thread.

[guns_of_brixton]

Right now, this is the 7th largest thread in the history of the Punk Forum.

[Forest_Fire]

seriously? we rock

[guns_of_brixton]

Yes, it is true. I wish Andy was here to see this :(.

[Forest_Fire]

where is she?

[guns_of_brixton]

I don't know. She hasn't been here since she won n00b of the month.

[SlappedByTheClash]

Right now, this is the 7th largest thread in the history of the Punk Forum.


Wow.:eek:

[guns_of_brixton]

And its only 2 weeks old. It is a beast.

[SlappedByTheClash]

I feel like Dr Frankenstein.

[guns_of_brixton]

This thing is now strong enough to kill Terry Chimes.

[SlappedByTheClash]

Grrrrr...

[Forest_Fire]

haha

::wants to quote aquateen but can't remember it::

[guns_of_brixton]

Who was the one who turned this thread from a band profile to a giant discussion? I must find out.

[SlappedByTheClash]

I started bitching then Andy posted like whoa...

[guns_of_brixton]

Yes. It was you, my friend.

[Forest_Fire]

cheers to steve and andy :chug:

[guns_of_brixton]

:chug:

[Forest_Fire]

since we reached 1000 pots we havent said anything about joe.

[SlappedByTheClash]

What time is it for you guys, because it's 12:30 in the morning for me.


I need bed rest, I'll see you cats later.:wave:

[guns_of_brixton]

Okay, I'm watching Westway, and Joe was trying to explain what people thought of the word "punk" before punk music existed. He said something like "In America people thought of a punk *** somebody who got f.ucked up the arse. But, I can't say that, right?" :lol:

[Forest_Fire]

12:20 here in kentucky. im stayin up till SNL goes off.

[guns_of_brixton]

What time is it for you guys, because it's 12:30 in the morning for me.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

[guns_of_brixton]

It cracked me up :lol:.

[Forest_Fire]

[guns_of_brixton]

Yes, it is a must have. I'm watching it right now.

[guns_of_brixton]

Punk was originally a name for a 50's prison bitch.

[CDR_Cool]

ah, but don't people get ****ed up the arse in prison?

[guns_of_brixton]

Yes, yes they do :).

[Forest_Fire]

if they're lucky

[IMONXTC]

terry chimes was one of the worst drummers. listen to every drum beat on the clash and tell me how many fills you hear. theres a picture of them all posing and hes trying to look tough. its funny coz he looks like joes dad or something. can i ask a question? whats so great about the pistols anyway? i thought "bollocks" was very boring. mick jones is quoted in Westway saying that if the pistols had kept going then the clash would never have been able to catch up. i disagree with that, jonesy

[guns_of_brixton]

I agree. Chimes= crappy drummer.

And as for the Pistols, they weren't so great. I don't agree with what Mick said either about them, because the Clash were 100 times the band that the Pistols were.

[IMONXTC]

i should get an avatar

[Jessizzle]

Woah... F'uck I Didnt think it was possible to talk about one guy for 42 pages.

[guns_of_brixton]

Woah... F'uck I Didnt think it was possible to talk about one guy for 42 pages.

And it has only been about 5-6 people posting.

[guns_of_brixton]

Yeah, it makes it take up more space when you only post on line.

[SlappedByTheClash]

Woah... F'uck I Didnt think it was possible to talk about one guy for 42 pages.


Joe's the equivalent of 123812381 other punk bands.

[guns_of_brixton]

Joe's the equivalent of 123812381 other punk bands.

And that's not even including pop-punk bands. But seriously, Joe>everything.

[Coma_Girl]

straight to hell is really ****ing awesome.its just so good.i have to say that i love combat rock no matter what people think about it

[SlappedByTheClash]

Sandinista! is great, but everyone hates on it.

[Coma_Girl]

i love it.when something is different, people hate it, and its stupid, cause its a great album really

[SlappedByTheClash]

Werd.


Although it's a chore to listen to the whole thing at once.

[Coma_Girl]

its kinda long and i have a short attention span.

but its good anyway when you take the time to listen to every song

[guns_of_brixton]

My english teacher likes crappy music :upset:.

Water polo has really reduced my Clash whoring :upset:.

[Coma_Girl]

i'm the clash whore number 1 here. :cool:

[Scabies]

I've stolen it off my mate haha. Its absolute crap.

[CombatRock]

[Scabies]

Yeah it does, They really should've stuck to music though.

[guns_of_brixton]

I read in a review that their acting was "painful". I'd still like too see it though.

[Coma_Girl]

i want to see it, but i cant find it anywhere

[white_riot]

I got mine off ebay because i couldn't find it anywhere else

[honkybrewster]

joe's spirit will live forever.like this thread.
haha, niice.

I just had the pleasure of getting to hear Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros (sp?), and I loved it. Apparently I was really missing out.

[Coma_Girl]

the meskies are almost as good as the clash to me.

[white_riot]

burn me a copy on a dvd

pleaaaaase?

My cousin has this really awesome burner, so i could burn it for you but where do you live. It is pretty cheap off ebay.

The Mescaleros are awesome.

[Coma_Girl]

The Mescaleros are awesome.

[white_riot]

[guns_of_brixton]

The Clash>Mescaleros, but Mescaleros>almost every other band that exists.

[Coma_Girl]

[Coma_Girl]

[guns_of_brixton]

I'm sure I can find a copy of Rude Boy here in America, I just haven't looked hard enough.

And I think the Clash's finest acting moment was in Hell West 10. The porn films have hilarious names :D.

[guns_of_brixton]

123456

Its good to have you back Andy :D.

[Forest_Fire]

The Clash>Mescaleros

agreed, i havent heard them much, but i doubt they could be


Mescaleros>almost every other band that exists.


i don't know really, i really haven't heard a whole lot. whats the best album? i saw a couple today at best buy

[white_riot]

I have Streetcore that album is pretty awesome, I love the song Get Down Moses

[guns_of_brixton]

Streetcore and Gloabal a Go Go are very good, and Streetcore has Redemption Song. I don't think anyone on the planet like the Meskies more than Andy, so you might be better of asking her.

[Forest_Fire]

andy... the floor is yours. educate

[CombatRock]

you found some of there cds at best buy!! i went to one this saturday looking for there stuff and they didnt have any :( was it under, joe strummer or, the mesceleros?

[SlappedByTheClash]

I found all my Mescaleros CD's at Best Buy.


Look under "Strummer"

[Forest_Fire]

i don't remember... sorry. you can check both. i ended up getting a hardcore cd anyway

[guns_of_brixton]

Best Buy has a decent amout of Clash stuff. I got Westway, The Essential Clash dvd, and the London Calling Legacy Edition there.

[CombatRock]

[CombatRock]

Best Buy has a decent amout of Clash stuff. I got Westway, The Essential Clash dvd, and the London Calling Legacy Edition there.

[Anxious]

I got Story of the Clash at some place in California.
what place

[Coma_Girl]

andy... the floor is yours. educate
well, it depends on what you like, really.

rock art: it sounds more like the clash when they were in their 'weird' phase than the other meskies albums.a bit more

global a go-go: music from all around the world, it's different from everything else for sure.it's the one a lot of people prefer.dedicated to joey ramone's memory.

streetcore: the last album joe ever did.the meskies had to finish it after he died, so it's a really sad album, but its a piece of art really.it's gonna make you dance and cry and smile at the same time.my favorite.

[white_riot]

streetcore is pretty awesome, which one should I buy next gloabl a go-go or rock art.

[Forest_Fire]

i'm going to buy streetcore next time i see it. :D

i can't help you there, whit riot. andy or guns of brixton or combatrock bass might be able to once they get on

[CombatRock]

i dont know much about the mescleros,andy is the keeper of the tale..but global a go go..sounds like african tribe music to me, or atleast the songs i heard...im goign to pick up rockart next time im at best buy

[Forest_Fire]

i've only recently discovered how cool and useful best buy is. they carry a lot more stuff than they used to

[guns_of_brixton]

what place

It was in Sacremento in some mall that was partially outdoors.

[CombatRock]

i've only recently discovered how cool and useful best buy is. they carry a lot more stuff than they used to
i love bust buy, my town is getting one soon, and i think im goign to get a job there

[guns_of_brixton]

i love bust buy, my town is getting one soon, and i think im goign to get a job there

Best Buy employs about 35 kids from my school. They've really got a good selection of music dvds.

[Coma_Girl]

streetcore is pretty awesome, which one should I buy next gloabl a go-go or rock art.
global

[SlappedByTheClash]

I've been thinking about applying there, my job sucks.


Either that or a Guitar World.

[guns_of_brixton]

My new avatar is very small :mad:.

[CDR_Cool]

I Should start a Mick Jones thread

[Forest_Fire]

Why? All of the clash stuff can be discussed here. i don't think he had anywhere as much of an impact as joe anyway.

[CombatRock]

I Should start a Mick Jones thread

joe>paul>mick

[Coma_Girl]

if you start a mick jones thread, it wont live as long as this one. :amaze:

[guns_of_brixton]

Yea, this should be the only Clash thread.

[SantaDuJuan]

Yea, this should be the only Clash thread.

Please let it be the only Clash thread.

[Coma_Girl]

[SantaDuJuan]

I'm known for my Clash whoring. ;)


We can all tell.
:)

[white_riot]

I made a shirt and I put some songs on the front of it in black and red and on the back i put The Clash in Black. I dont no what else to put on the back, i was thinking of putting their names on there in red. does anyone have any ideas and do u think putting there last names on the back would look good.

[guns_of_brixton]

About 23% of the posts in this thread are mine.

And I'm bad at making shirts :(.

[CDR_Cool]

It would be funny to make a mick jones thread though

[Forest_Fire]

oh yes... hilarious

[Coma_Girl]

dont write their names, youll just look like a 12 years old girl at a simple plan show with their names writing on her shirt...if you see what i mean.the difference is that youll never go to a clash show. :cool:

[Coma_Girl]

oh yes... hilarious
i love sarcasm.and i love the clash <3

[guns_of_brixton]

dont write their names, youll just look like a 12 years old girl at a simple plan show with their names writing on her shirt...if you see what i mean.the difference is that youll never go to a clash show. :cool:

Yea, I think I would give up just about anything to see the Clash play live.

[Coma_Girl]

Yea, I think I would give up just about anything to see the Clash play live.
i dont know.i wouldnt want them to compromise their beliefs for me, even if joe was still alive.the fact that they wont play together anymore is a part of the legend of the clash.i dont want them to destroy the myth...i like it that way...

[guns_of_brixton]

I meant if I got to see the Clash in the 70's or 80's. I don't think they ever wouldv'e played again when Joe was alive.

[Coma_Girl]

guns, we're officially the king and the queen of clash-whoring.
look at all our posts.haha....your name is sean right?i always forget :upset:

[guns_of_brixton]

Yea, I'm Sean. Clash whores forever!

[SactoUnited]

Never Let This Thread Die!

[guns_of_brixton]

Amen!

[Coma_Girl]

whats your favorite clash lyrics?
or did i already ask it.i dont remember.

[guns_of_brixton]

Hmmm... I think my favorite lyrics are...

"In every dingy basement/ on every dingy street/ in every dragging handclap over every dragging beat./Its just the beat of time/the beat that must go on/if you've been tryin' for years we've already heard your song"

or

"When they kick at your front door, how you gonna come?/with your hands on your head or on the trigger of your gun?"

[guns_of_brixton]

or...

"You have the right/ to free speech/ as long as you're not dumb enough to actually try it."

[white_riot]

i love the lyrics to white riot, "all the power's in the hands of people rich enough to buy it" and i also love the lyrics to guns of brixton.

[white_riot]

dont write their names, youll just look like a 12 years old girl at a simple plan show with their names writing on her shirt...if you see what i mean.the difference is that youll never go to a clash show.

Good point, do you have any ideas of what I could put on there.

[IMONXTC]

ill name some lyrics that no one else is going to: "up in heaven (not only here)", "the card cheat", and "lost in the supermarket" have really good lyrics....what, im not gonna post em. google it bitch.

[Anxious]

close this thread

[CombatRock]

whats your favorite clash lyrics?

"kick over the wall cos governments to fall, how can you refuse it?"

"its up to you not to hear the call up i dont wanna die"

[SlappedByTheClash]

I don't care what anyone says, Jimmy Jazz is a f'ucking great song.

[White Riot!]

.

Good point, do you have any ideas of what I could put on there.

You stole my name! lol

Jimmy jazz is a fuorking great song , lyrics are great and its got a nice jazz feel to it , feels like you are sitting in a club! :thumb:

Joe Strummer is a F>*king legend. Strummer was one of the ultimate performers of our time , his lyrics are briliant and always make you think and always gives multiple interpretation to the songs , he is one ofthe most innovative artists. Sandanista! is a great album to show you how diversethe clash were , the clash is the ultimate punk record , give em enough rope is pretty good combat rock has some great tunes , and london calling is a masterpiece of rock and roll and music in general.

The mescaleros were a original and fresh sounding band with joe's great songwriting


You cant forget Mick Jones either as he wrote some of the good songs like Stay Free and "lost in the supermarket" after the clash mick then went on to do B.A.D and produce the libertines which is pretty cool I reckon.


Joe was the Punk and master lyricist , who could write deep and great lyrics , Mick was a Great musician who could turn joe's energy into a catchy form , and bring his own great stuff to the table.

You gotta remember strummer only sang half of the songs really , he and mick were a pair.

Both are absolute legends.

[sketchyjoe]

whats your favorite clash lyrics?
or did i already ask it.i dont remember.
"He who ****s nuns will someday join the church"

[Scabies]

I'm going to see Carbon Silicon next Saturday, Which is Mick Jones' new band.

[Forest_Fire]

Today in computer we got assigned our next 6 weeks project, and i have to do a powerpoint presentation that's at least 10 slides long. My topic is: The Clash. I know I should put in obvious things, such as band members and discography and bio, but are there any important or special things that you guys think i should put in?

[RevengeOfTheVillageIdiot]

their huge, huge influence.

they were pretty much the first band who mixed up different genres

[guns_of_brixton]

ill name some lyrics that no one else is going to: "up in heaven (not only here)", "the card cheat", and "lost in the supermarket" have really good lyrics....what, im not gonna post em. google it bitch.

In the Card Cheat there's a line about the Hundred Years War, which I had to write a paper about.

/didn't write the paper

[chips88]

when they beat down your front door
how you gonna go?
with your hands on your head
or on the trigger of your gun

ooooh, the Guns of Brixton!

"What do we have for entertainment?
Cops kickin’ gypsies on the pavement
Now the news - snap to attention!
The lunar landing of the dentist convention
Italian mobster shoots a lobster
Seafood restaurant gets outta hand
A car in the fridge
Or a fridge in the car?
Like cowboys do - in t.v. land"

[Coma_Girl]

i love the lyrics of guns of brixton...and it seems like a lot of people do, cause its an awesome song.I love clampdown.And lost in the supermarket.

Yankee dollar talk
To the dictators of the world
In fact it's giving orders
An' they can't afford to miss a word

I'm so bored with the U...S...A...
But what can I do?


from my canadian point of view, it sounds so true :p

I love how in Westway they wrote it on the ice cream shop's window with ice cream.

[Coma_Girl]

You gotta drag yourself to work
Drug yourself to sleep

i love this part of all the young punks too.and this one:

Face front you got the future shining
Like a piece of gold
But I swear as we get closer
It look more like a lump of coal
But it's better than some factory
Now that's no place to waste your youth
I worked there for a week once
I luckily got the boot

[Forest_Fire]

"Long distance callers make long distance calls
And the silence makes me lonely"


Lost in the supermarket



and if i remember right, then White Man In Hammersmith Palais hasa some good lines too.

[guns_of_brixton]

"All the young cunts, live it now
Cause there ain’t much to die for"

I love that part.

[guns_of_brixton]

"Long distance callers make long distance calls

and these lines:

We had a hedge back home in the suburbs
Over which I never could see

and

I'm all tuned in, I see all the programmes
I save coupons from packets of tea
I've got my giant hit discoteque album
I empty a bottle and I feel a bit free


it's such a great song with great lyrics.Joe wrote it for Mick and in The Last Testament dvd, Mick says he was happy that Joe wrote that thinking about him

[guns_of_brixton]

I love the guitar solo in that song.

[Forest_Fire]

i heard on a special about the clash that joe wrote it from mick's point of view.



but I'm willing to bet that you're right, becuase you know much more about the clash than a local tv program :)

Andy knows more about Joe than anybody :).

[Coma_Girl]

ohhh another bunch of awesome lyrics.

"Lemme tell ya 'bout your blood bamboo kid.
It ain't Coca-Cola it's rice." -straight to hell

"Koka Kola advertising and kokaine
Strolling down the Broadway in the rain
Neon light sign says it
I read it in the paper-they're crazy!
Suit your life, maybe so
In the White House-I know
All Over Berlin (they've been doing it for years)
And in Manhattan!" - koka kola

"This is Joe Public speaking
I'm controlled in the body, controlled in the mind" - complete control

"Frederico Lorca is dead and gone" -spanish bombs

"This sound does not subscribe to the international plan
in the psycho shadown of the white right hand
then that see ghettology as an urban vietnam
giving deadly exhibitions of murder by napalm" -this is radio clash



i LOVE their lyrics.joe was so smart :amaze:

[Coma_Girl]

Andy knows more about Joe than anybody :).

[guns_of_brixton]

no, a lot of people know more about him than me.i just have no life. :upset:

But you're the queen of Clash whoring! That has to mean something!

And yes, Joe was really smart.

Most bands>Ramones.

But they were the first punk band I ever truly liked.


Nice to listen to when in a quiet mood.

[Brain Toad]

They had the Strummer book at Barnes & Noble, I almost bought it but decided not to.

[Coma_Girl]

which strummer book?

let fury have the hour?redemption song:the balad of joe strummer?joe strummer and the legend of the clash?



(when you say 'joe strummer' a lot, you realize that his name dont make sense)

[Brain Toad]

Let Fury Have the Hour was the one. They had a couple other good punk books, but I didn't feel like reading anymore of those type of books so I didn't buy it.

[Coma_Girl]

i've been wanting to buy let fury have the hour for a while, but i cant find it anywhere and i dont wanna order it from internet.i heard its not that good anyway, there was someone that posted in this thread that was reading it.i cant remember who it was though.

[CombatRock]

i would love to get a clash/joe book..but im to lazy to read..soo..

I was at Barnes & Noble, they usually have a really good selection of punk books, if they have those up in Canukistan.

[sketchyjoe]

New Musical Express

[Coma_Girl]

reading is fun.i'm gonna study in litterature.
the book i really wanna read is vision of an homeland, the mescaleros book.

[Coma_Girl]

Mick Jones produced The Libertines album and it's ****ing great.seriously, one of the best stuff I've heard this year.Mick Jones knows what he's doing, and it was probably awesome for the guys in The Libertines to have him producing their cd cause they grew up listening to The Clash.

Which Libertines album is that? I've been meaning to check it out.

[CombatRock]

what kind of music are they?

[sketchyjoe]

The Libertines suck and Pete Doherty is a useless junkie with down syndrome.

[Forest_Fire]

London Calling is winning/tied for winning early on in the greatest albums poll!

[AndreTheHyena]

Tied with what?

[/lazy]

[Forest_Fire]

It was tied with FFFRV, but now it's in the lead.

The poll is the first sticky on the page if you didn't see it

[CombatRock]

hey.what kind of music is the libertines..to lazy to download a song

[TheNowhereman42]

They're kindof indie/pop-rock stuff. Someone bought me the cd, its got a good song or two, but overall not very impressive

[AndreTheHyena]

Which Libertines album is that? I've been meaning to check it out.

Yes.

[Scabies]

Its self titled, they sound a lot like the first clash album. Their first albums much better than the second apparently.

[Coma_Girl]

i was surprised to see a picture of mick in the booklet...then i read he produced it.i didnt even know he was a producer

[AndreTheHyena]

Everybody's a producer.

[Forest_Fire]

::mutters lame joke about nathan lane::

[CombatRock]

which cd is liek the clash first album by the libertines?

[Coma_Girl]

which cd is liek the clash first album by the libertines?
none of their albums really sounds like the clash (album), but they have been influenced by the clash (the band)

[sketchyjoe]

The Libertines are like The Clash except The Clash wasn't a **** band fronted by a useless twat junkie with Down Syndrome.

[SlappedByTheClash]

Eloquent and PC as always.


Libertines are horrible "garage rock" in the style of The Strokes, except British.


So if you're into pointless music, they're just perfect.

i would never know that was him if you hadnt told me

[AndreTheHyena]

I am enjoying the Libertines album.

[guns_of_brixton]

I think the Libertines are boring.

EDIT: 50th page

[SantaDuJuan]

Crazy. 50 Pages of this.

[Forest_Fire]

50 more are on the way


:chug:

[AIRIC]

This thread sucks though...

[Coma_Girl]

let's keep it on the joe/clash subject or the thread will be close.

btw, i just heard the redemption song version of bob marley, and i think the joe one is like 100x better.The Joe one makes me cry, but I like it that way.

[AndreTheHyena]

I like the one with Joe and Johnny Cash best.

[TheNowhereman42]

agreed

btw I acctually got Streetcore and its amazing, Get Down Moses is basically a 5 minute recording of pure orgasm

[Forest_Fire]

The other day I was at FYE and I saw streetcore, but it wouldn't let me listen to it. :upset:



I thought about buying it anyway, but I'd really like to hear some first

[guns_of_brixton]

Maybe somebody has it on soulseek.

[Forest_Fire]

Doesn't matter, I don't have soulseek. Not yet... :upset:

[guns_of_brixton]

Neither do I :upset:.

[Coma_Girl]

123
the lyrics are good.i love Joe's writing style...he had a special way to say things and make everything so beautiful and interesting.

i think somewhere inside i'm still waiting for the next meskies album. :upset:

[Coma_Girl]

The other day I was at FYE and I saw streetcore, but it wouldn't let me listen to it. :upset:
you cant appreciate how good streetcore is if you dont listen to it in your bedroom or in the bus with your headphones the first time.You have to be...concentrate?Hmm...concentrate is not the word, I don't even know if it's a word...I can't explain what I mean.

[SlappedByTheClash]

agreed

The best part is when they go into the pre-chorus, and Joe just busts out with "Like Jewels, In the rough!" over the organ playing.


I think I need a towel.


EDIT:Andy, before this thread you had like 400 posts. Now 950. that's crazy.

[Coma_Girl]

Andy, before this thread you had like 400 posts. Now 950. that's crazy.
I'm in love with this thread.


The Joe Strummer thread is my boyfriend<3 :rolleyes:

[guns_of_brixton]

I'm listening to Midnight Log on Sandinista!. Kind of a rockabilly-ish song, very cool sounding.

This thread is like almost 1/3 of my total posts. Thats crazy.

[Silvermedalmafia]

I like the one with Joe and Johnny Cash best.
Yesterday I got a 2 disc johnny cash cd for 10$. One of the discs was live, too.

[TheNowhereman42]

I got a Trojan Box set for like 15 bucks at borders, i was amazed

[Forest_Fire]

which one?

[AndreTheHyena]

Yesterday I got a 2 disc johnny cash cd for 10$. One of the discs was live, too.

I have no Johnny Cash cds, and he's my favorite artist of all time. Vinyl, bitches!

I may have to pick up Unearthed at some point, though.

[TheNowhereman42]

I have unearthed, its good

I can't acctually remember which Trojan set, I havn't listened to it yet cause I'm hooked on the AAA cd I got with it.

[Forest_Fire]

AAA, awesome. I'm starting my town's first ska-core band over spring break. right now it's just a bass (me) and a sax. but it will get better...


and uhh... on topic... does anyone know where i can find a picture of the joe strummer memorial painting?

[AndreTheHyena]

You could just take a screenshot from the video.

[guns_of_brixton]

I wasn't able to find any pictures, so taking a screenshot from the video is your best bet.

[TheNowhereman42]

are the 101ers any good?
