You won bitch. Now go make your acceptance speech. That's way more important than some whats-his-face from that one band.

yessss Spanish Bombs just came on the radio and me and my mom were dancing to it. haha

oh dear

yeah it was getting werid she asked me "oh is this Green Day?" I said...no deffenitly The Clash....

once i stopped in front of a bar, and rock the casbah was playing...so me and my friends stay there and danced...and looked really stupid.but it was fun.


the only song of the clash i heard on the radio was magnificent 7 and it was a long time ago.i didnt even know it was a clash song back then.but i knew it was joe's voice, so when i came back home, i dwled it.

i have never heard a clash song on the radio before, expet for XM radio

I've heard Rock the Casbah, Train in Vain, London Calling, Should I Stay or Should I Go, and surprisingly, Police and Theives on th radio.

Yeah I heard Train In Vain once to. It surprised me considering most radio stations around here are rap or country.

Should I Stay or Should I Go was on The Rugrats Go Wild. it made me laugh. alot. then cry. a little. I hear that on the radio alot, and Train in Vain

THe radio station here plays it like at least once a week.

[QUOTE=CDR_Cool]Should I Stay or Should I Go was on The Rugrats Go Wild. it made me laugh. alot. then cry. a little. I hear that on the radio alot, and Train in Vain[/QUOTE]

I really almost did cry when I saw the preview. I bet Joe was rolling in his grave.

hehe I can imagine Joe popping out his grave to feed on the brains of the living. I should go make a movie about that. Joe Strummer Versus The Wild Thornberrys

i hate when people make joe roll in his grave.it makes me sick. :upset: stupid people who ruin his work!awwww!

:upset:


this is depressing now

let's make it less depressing.

"Looord, there's gonna set the car on fire"
:lol:

Jimmy’s outside but you can’t take him back for the drama of design
They hit him in the back and see the long arm dropped over the school cuisines
They say now back and hands facing the sidewalk as they slowly click on

the very beginning of clampdown...the part nonoe can understand...well there you go

where did you find it? :amaze:
i love you

I wonder if you 3-4 will ever run out of Joe Strummer things to talk about.

I doubt it.

[QUOTE=PaintSteveGreen]I wonder if you 3-4 will ever run out of Joe Strummer things to talk about.[/QUOTE]

somone will close this thread before we run out of things to talk about







2,000 post

yay cr*b

I dont think any of them will ever get tired of talking about joe. i only peek in every once and a while, and this thread is hella awesome

Its Cool, but i have little to contruibute. well, almost none.

what kind of guitar did strummer use

fender telecaster, i think he had 2..a both black, one with a rosewood fretboard, and another with a maple

paul simonon used a rickenbacker early on but hated so went on to use a white/black fender with a maple fretboard,,which is the famous one he smashed, he also used a white/black fender with a rosewooed fretboard
and in the video for "the call up" and " london calling" he can be seen usign what looks liek an ibanez hollow body bass..paul got his fender basses from CBS


mick jones used a gibson lespaul..cherry sunburst, and he also had a moroon looking one, he had a yellow double cut away along with a red one..and in one video he was using a all black fender stratocaster

i dont no what drums topper used though

How about Amps, or effects

awesome information.


im pretty sure paul played with the tone all the way down, but thats all i know about their performance notes

woah travis.i didnt know all that!except for the joe part.


and for those who are interested, i have some translation problems with my mescaleros profil. :upset:
