Sean Flynn is a cool song, and like alot of the stuff on Combat Rock it sounds much like Uncarved Block (teh fluxxurs).

CombatRock 09-09-2005 11:03 PM

Sorry Brain is Squrmin'. I have not heard Flux or whartever, and I do not know what or who it is. I'm sure they/it are fine. But I'm afraid that's not possible, my good man. :smash:

All due respect.

CombatRock 09-10-2005 01:23 AM

No one can beat the clash.

Brain Toad 09-10-2005 01:27 AM

Plenty can. But I don't want my head on a Clash whore stick.

[QUOTE=CombatRock]No one can beat the clash.[/QUOTE]

Not with twice the output or twice the talent, IMO. The Clash were something special and unique. And I don't think that is fanboyism. Because I certainly am not one of those. But to my mind, it's just the truth.

Flux = easily the best anarch-ho band. And from someone eles opinion alot of bands can beat the Clash.

I like, I like.

There's a hip hop type thing happening where I live called Clash. So my dad is like "Hey do you want to go to this Clash thing, I saw an ad for it in the paper." So obviously I was kind of confused, seeing as Joe Strummer is dead, then I remembered that whole Tim Armstrong re-forming with the Clash, so I told my dad to get tickets. At this point I thought the Clash were coming to where I live, I didn't know it was a f'ucking rap battle.

I was flipping through the Sunday Funnies a couple days later, and saw a big ad for The Clash Rap Battle. After thoroughly banging my head on the wall I went and told my dad to get rid of the tickets, and that there was no way I was going to a rap battle.

That's what happens if you don't do your homework kiddies.

TheNowhereman42 09-10-2005 03:02 PM

I woulda gone anyway

CombatRock 09-10-2005 03:38 PM

Hhahaha, that funny. I would go too.

guns_of_brixton 09-10-2005 06:18 PM

If you needed tickets for a rap battle it must be good. I bet I'd go.

(r)evolution 09-10-2005 07:03 PM

you shoulda gone.. I mean, rap AND a battle. How can you go wrong?

Mannik 09-10-2005 07:55 PM

I've been to a rap battle and it wasn't all bad, I could never come up with such creative lines as they did right on the spot.

CombatRock 09-11-2005 01:40 AM

This is a Clash thread not a Rap battle thread.


I got a white bass today like Paul.

redstainedeyes 09-11-2005 08:11 AM

I love those basses. It's weird cause Paul played one, Dee Dee played one, and Sid played one.

guns_of_brixton 09-11-2005 08:18 AM

A million people played P Basses.

redstainedeyes 09-11-2005 08:28 AM

None of my friends like them. I think they're hot.

guns_of_brixton 09-11-2005 08:31 AM

They own, all your friends must be Ibanez bass s[I]h[/I]itheads.

CombatRock 09-11-2005 02:00 PM

Ibanez sucks. Why Dee Dee, Sid and Paul all played white fenders because that was fenders main color back then.

CombatRock 09-13-2005 03:22 PM

I love guns of brixton live! Pauls "singing" makes me smile.

The Guns Of Brixton Lyrics

(Paul Simonon)

When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

When the law break in
How you gonna go?
Shot down on the pavement
Or waiting on death row

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton

The money feels good
And your life you like it well
But surely your time will come
As in heaven, as in hell

You see, he feels like Ivan
Born under the Brixton sun
His game is called survivin'
At the end of the harder they come

You know it means no mercy
They caught him with a gun
No need for the Black Maria
Goodbye to the Brixton sun

You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-the guns of Brixton

When they kick at your front door
How you gonna come?
With your hands on your head
Or on the trigger of your gun

You can crush us
You can bruise us
Yes, even shoot us
But oh-the guns of Brixton

Shot down on the pavement
Waiting in death row
His game is called survivin'
As in heaven as in hell

You can crush us
You can bruise us
But you'll have to answer to
Oh, the guns of Brixton

:)

Maverick_Special 09-13-2005 03:44 PM

Why does everyone hate Ibanez's? I have played one for near 3 years and I love it. I have tinkered with it a bit but I get a great sound form it.

Yes my favorite clash song, like i said a couple of pages ago one of my bands is covering it. i think im going to play bass and sing it.

SlappedByTheClash 09-13-2005 07:34 PM

[QUOTE=guns_of_brixton]They own, all your friends must be Ibanez bass s[I]h[/I]itheads.[/QUOTE]

J bass> P bass.


My Jazz's tone is so much better than my old P. I get wicked string buzz on my P bass.

redstainedeyes 09-13-2005 07:39 PM

I can't decide which one looks better, but I've heard from a lot of people that the Jazz Bass sounds a lot better - I don't play bass so I wouldn't know.

CombatRock 09-13-2005 07:44 PM

*cough*clash thread*cough*pbasspwnsall*cough*

guns_of_brixton 09-13-2005 08:42 PM

Travis has a P-Bass special, a mix of both :cool:. J's are only good if you use the pickup furthest from the bridge. The one next to the brodge sounds like absolute **** by itself. I'm mainly guitarist... but I like a lower sounding bass.

CombatRock 09-13-2005 09:15 PM

Paul has the tone i model mine after, nice and bassy.

the101er 09-14-2005 10:19 AM

did you get a pbass? or is it just white? :lol:

CombatRock 09-14-2005 05:31 PM

I just got a white bass, i got it for nothing, im trying it out, im not going to keep it, its in horrible condition.

guns_of_brixton 09-14-2005 06:59 PM

I want it! I'm not joking, ship it to me, you're rich.

Rise Me Up 09-14-2005 07:20 PM

The Kaiser Chiefs singer sounds A LOT like Joe.

AIRIC 09-14-2005 07:23 PM

Lol Clash

redstainedeyes 09-14-2005 07:27 PM

I don't get it.

CombatRock 09-14-2005 08:03 PM

[QUOTE=guns_of_brixton]I want it! I'm not joking, ship it to me, you're rich.[/QUOTE]
Its not my bass its my drummers uncles, he was gunna sale it to me for cheap. but it sucks, really bad, i dont know if typed this already, but there was no nut so the only place in town that has a nut is the wrong kinda so the action is so high, you cant fix it. and you cant move the pickups up. its so cheap.

I am sorry but I do not hear the resemblance at all...and that band sucks compared to the Clash.
