All he was doing was advertising, thats why he is now banned. Paul looks stupid in the picture with his hair.

[QUOTE=Brain Squirmin' Like a Toad]Richard Cheese's Rock the Casbah > Orginal[/QUOTE]
Who is Richard Cheese?

His version is alright... I give him credit for getting through the entire song in like 1:20.

i could well play that song in 1:20

Im downloading the song right now, i will edit and see what i think.
Also im making my clash shirt tonight. Next time i go to my girlfriends i will get her to take a picture for me.


edit: That was extremely annoying.

I got Let Fury Have the Hour at my library... very good so far. I almost got America (the John Stewart/Daily Show book) but I forgot :upset:.

He is godly and owns you.

That is the funniest book in the world! Jon Stewar is greater than richard cheese.

I made my clash shirt, it says Hate and War, i shall post once i get pictures.

[QUOTE=guns_of_brixton]I'd say Combat Rock is the [I]most popular[/I]. I know it sold the most copies.

My dad likes the Clash, but mostly only the songs everyone knows. He liked Streetcore.[/QUOTE]


Combat rock featurs songs like "Should I Stay or Should I Go" and "Rock The Casbah" which are songs that everyone knows.

But Combat rock doesnt come CLOSE to London Calling. London Calling was a master piece. SO Influentual. It was ranked number 8 by rolling stone magazine in there 500 Greatest albums of all time. And VH1 has London Calling listed at number 56 in the greatest songs of the past 25 years.

Combat rock is cool, But London Calling is the clash at there best.

Because VH1 and Rolling Stone magazine are the definitive punk rock source. Their self-titled album was the most influential if you ask me. Influence is what it means to the person, not some mainstream magazine. I don't know much about The Clash except that S/T was very influential for a lot of bands. That and Give 'em Enough Rope was incredible.

Well popular certainly doesn't mean the best. London Calling is easily the best. Combat Rock is probably the worst.

London Calling was easily the best album they had on the Rolling Stone list. It owns the hell out of the Beatles and Beach Boys or whoever else was ahead of it.

I disagree that the ST was more influential, just the fact that at the time lots of punk records were comming out and what not, but when London Calling came out, none of the punk bands were doing the sounds of that record.

np- Living in Fame

And I noticed the guy who does the vocals on this song is the sme guys who does them on the live Armagideon Time.

Is it that black guy that helps out in Bankrobber?

No, this guy has an annoying voice. Well, maybe it is him.

Have you seen the guy? On essential clash hes in the bankrobber video.

I liked the painting that was posted a couple of pages back. Joe looks like he's having bowel problems though.

I want to make my own Clash t-shirts, seen as the ones you can get commercially are **** sizes and just crap.

Any ideas on how I do this? Paint's, stencils etc.?

I have made clash tee. Get the stencils lay them out how you want then cover everything but the stencils. Then use spray paint, thats why i used and it turned out really good.

thanks for the advice. What kind of shops sell decent stencils?

i just saw a part of the essential clash dvd (all the promo video's and stuff, not their home movie) i think it's good, is westway to the world better?

Westway is different and better.

[QUOTE=Strummerville]thanks for the advice. What kind of shops sell decent stencils?[/QUOTE]
Im, not sure really, my friend gave me a stencil thing, all it was, was a carboard piece of paper with letters on it and you just tear the letters you need off. IM sure you can get them at a walmart or hobby lobby.

Just a quick question...
Do you think that Joe Strummer was really as tough as he says he was?
I don't mean no offence, I love the Clash, but Strummer doesn't actually seem that badarse to me... I dunno, perhaps one of you lot know his life story better?

Somone who bashes somones head over with a telecaster is badass to me.

Part of Let Fury Have the Hour went something like: "Joe Strummer, the thuggish-looking lead singer of the Clash."

When are you going to post interviews?

I agree that strummer did some tough stuff. but stopping people spitting at his shows and the whole rock against racism thing, which flew in the face of the nihilstic/hedonistic side of punk which really floats my boat. I don't know, he just seems kinda white middle class kid like me in some of his lyrics

I bought Passion Is A Fashion and I'm not sure if I like it. It's really interesting and there's a lot of good anecdotes, but there's way to much "maybe" and "we can assume that" and "they possibly were".

There's something really interesting in the chapter about Joe:
Joe Strummer vs John Mellor.

And Sean, have you finished LFHTH?

Uhh... I'm at the Last Broadcast... the part about Cut the CRap. That was kind of a sad chapter.

[QUOTE=guns_of_brixton]Uhh... I'm at the Last Broadcast... the part about Cut the CRap. That was kind of a sad chapter.[/QUOTE]

ewww. ctc...
what was your favorite chapter?

The part that Billy Bragg wrote was awesome, and so was the Clash In America. I've loved all of it :D.

[QUOTE=guns_of_brixton]The part that Billy Bragg wrote was awesome, and so was the Clash In America. I've lived all of it :D.[/QUOTE]
yeah, I loved the billy bragg part too. and the interview that I posted here a while ago.

cut the crap was their last album no? the less than great one? sorry im a clash noob

Cut the Crap was hardly even the Clash. We don't like to talk about it here.

The part Chuck D wrote was great too.

[QUOTE=RIP Ian Curtis]cut the crap was their last album no? the less than great one? sorry im a clash noob[/QUOTE]
cut the crap is the album-that-must-not-be-named. Or the album-that-never-really-existed.

okay I'll keep that in mind. How about Strummer's other stuff? Are the Mescaleros (excuse spelling) any good? Also I hear he fronted the Pogues for a little while...
