Clashheads, specifically GoB, I'm getting bored with those hogs doing lame-o punk songs. Up for a clash one?

Forest_Fire 08-25-2005 06:14 PM

You guys have been going strong without me. Cool.


I'll watch that video, travis.

Im guessing this is dustin? I would do a clash song but i dont know how to record on the computer and what not.

Forest_Fire 08-25-2005 07:29 PM

I [I]might[/I] be able to do bass, if you need it. Depends on what song you want to do.

guns_of_brixton 08-25-2005 09:26 PM

Rush by BAD is in the Movie Big Daddy, which is on tv. Very good song really, classic Mick Jones.

CombatRock 08-26-2005 03:47 PM

I love how The Clash name describes their sound and how BAD name describes their sound :lol:

Forest_Fire 08-26-2005 07:59 PM

My english teacher told me today that he wanted to see something about the clash in my project. :)

what kind of project?

Forest_Fire 08-26-2005 08:06 PM

We're making quilts about our lives. It seems very middle schoolish, but I'm not complaining; it's easy as hell. I just draw a bunch of pictures of stuff I like.

[QUOTE=chairman_of_the_board]I haven't saw you in FOREVER.[/QUOTE]

I know this isnt 100% true, but what do you guys think of this? If its true, i dont know what to think.

Strummerville 08-28-2005 10:57 AM

I've just read that thread. Looks a bit dubious, but if it were true, I would like to go see it, since I wasn't alive to see the band first-hand.

Obviously it will be a little hollow considering Joe's tragic absence, but it's the Clash nethertheless. What of Topper? Will he appear?

CombatRock 08-28-2005 11:00 AM

Why not they just get back together and have mick and paul sing, they have enough songs with them on vocals to do a set.

SlappedByTheClash 08-28-2005 02:29 PM

I think I won't go to that.


I believe it's a disrespect to Joe's memory. But I highly doubt it's truthfulness.


Has anyone picked up that Walker record? I saw it at FYE and I was like, whoas! It isn't a rumor! It's like a soundtrack written by Joe to a western movie.

CombatRock 08-28-2005 03:54 PM

Walker record? What are you talking about?

guns_of_brixton 08-28-2005 05:51 PM

I've heard of Walker, and I want it. The actual movie sucked though, I've read.

I don't but the "re-uniting" thing, and if it IS true then they aren't in it for money. Remember, they had Sandinista! sell at the price of a single album.

CombatRock 08-28-2005 07:16 PM

Yea somone from that thread said they are doing it for the love of music, plus they dont seem like the type that need money to go out and buy a lamborgini either.

SlappedByTheClash 08-28-2005 07:56 PM

The Walker record actually sounds good. I've heard a few tracks, and the basslines are f'ucking tasteful. A couple songs sound like random mariachi band filler, but when Joe sings again, it's all worth it.


And I don't think they're doing it for money either, but still...It shouldn't be done.

guns_of_brixton 08-28-2005 09:30 PM

The chapter of [I]Let Fury...[/I] that talked about all of the movie stuff that Joe did is one of the best. And the Latino Rockabilly War (Joe was with them after doing Walker) had a guy from Sham 69 I think, or some other punX band. I'll have to re-read.

CombatRock 08-28-2005 09:31 PM

Somone explain this walker thing to me :confused:

guns_of_brixton 08-28-2005 09:33 PM

Walker was a movie in the 1980s about some American soldier who declared himself Dictator of Nicaragua (same place as the Sandinista revoltionaries) in the 1860s. Joe composed the soundtrack, the movie tanked, but the soundtrack sold 10,000.

CombatRock 08-28-2005 09:34 PM

Does joe sing all the songs in it.

SlappedByTheClash 08-28-2005 09:52 PM

[QUOTE=CombatRock]Does joe sing all the songs in it.[/QUOTE]


I believe a few are instrumentals, but he certainly wrote them all.
