I must hear the Black Flag version.

Go buy The First Four Years. You won't be dissappointed

I must buy it then.

[QUOTE=Ska_Pirate]I believe the black flag version has more lyrics

EDIT: Black Flag "Louie Louie" lyrics:

Louie, Louie!
We gotta go.
I said now Louie, Louie!
We gotta go.
You know the pain, that's in my heart,
it just shows, I'm not very smart.
Who needs love, when you've got a gun?
Who needs love, to have any fun?
I said now Louie, Louie!
We gotta go!
Said, now screwie Louie!
We gotta go.
Louie, Louie!
We gotta go.
I said now Louie, Louie!
We gotta go![/QUOTE]
I just sing "Louie, Louie!" and mumble the rest, making up lyrics.

do you guys know why joe strummer was so great (and mick, paul and toper as well)?



(answer in the next post)

THey were so great because they did thing that nobody had ever done before. White guys doing hip-hop? Let alone white-guy punk rockers? Also, in my opinion, Joe was the greatest songwriter of all time, and the Clash had great chemistry and fit together perfectly.

They were great because they were The Clash.

Duh!

[QUOTE=sketchyjoe]They were great because they were The Clash.

THis answer works as well.

and i'll add something to sean's post.

they admitted it when they were wrong.

Yea, they definetly did. For instance, Cut the Crap. Also, they didn't consider themselves huge rock stars either. And until Joe dies, Topper didn't even nkow that the Clash was so big.

i heard yall talking about louie louie..i never heard of it..whose it buy..what kind of music is it?

the truth is, i didnt even know what their music means to me until he died.and when i think about it...i just cant believe he died...there's so many people who love joe...it's just unfair...i know we're all gonna die someday, but he died way too young.its crazy to think that he wont come back...NEVER.the world lost a great man the day he died. :upset: i've read something in the book that was like : " there was only one joe strummer" and with the rest of the article...it was really really sad.it's hard to explain something like that...you know when you read something you think is really powerful but when you look at the line without the rest, it doesnt mean anything anymore.

ahhh shut up andy :upset:
