Well I think they all were great instumentalists but I love Paul the best simply because I'm a bassist myself. I also love all of the lyrics of Joe and Mick. Oh, they just rock at everything.

Paul fu[I]c[/I]king rules.

:: plays Brand New Cadillac bass line ::

I play that song all the time I think it botheres the guys in my band.

haha. but its soooo cool and fun.

im not much into that song...rudi cant fail has a sweet bass line in it

Brand New Cadillac guitar part> Brand New Cadillac bassline, but both are great. Has anyone heard the original, which I believe is by Vince Taylor.

nope..infact i have never heard of vince taylor

according to windows media player, it was indeed composed by vince taylor

cool, wonder what the orginal version sounds like?

i dont't know, i looked up the clash on allmusic, and under the "performed music by" section there was his name, so i clicked on it. however, i didnt find a song named anything close to "Brand new Cadillac" and it didnt have any sound files for him anyway

ooh..they sure did allot of covers

brand new cadillac
pressure drop
armagideon time
pressure drop

what else?

hmmm...

i fought the law (duh)
police and theives
police on my back

thats all i can think of to add on to your list. i think black market clash some covers on it too

i didnt know police on my back was a cover...who did they cover it from

[QUOTE]"Police on My Back" was written by Eddy Grant when he was leader of the Equals, a British group who fused rock, reggae, and soul rhythms; the band's sole international hit was the admirably eccentric groover "Baby Come Back," but the Clash picked up on one of the group's minor British hits, "Police on My Back," while recording their fourth album[/QUOTE]

thats what it says on allmusic

thanks allmusic

i dont know where i'd be without it

This is really bothering me, go to the link and the last song on there is called "Untitled". Im fairly sure ive heard it before, but i dont know what song it is or where ive heard it. any help?

perhaps the song acctually has no title, I know Oasis and Against Me! both have songs without names, Oasis has like 4 I think

i know, it just bothers me becuase i know ive heard that song before, but none of my clash albums have an "Untitled" song on there

yea, i have never heard of a clash song called untitled

It's probably not a music track.

Brand New Cadilliacs a cover...right?

i believe. it was compsed by vince taylor (see top of page)

may have just been writeen by him but performed origionally by The Calsh

Nah, I'm sure Vince Taylor sang it first.

never herad of him

I think he was some old 50's singer or some s'hit.


I really haven't bothered to look into it, so I wouldn't know.

Somebody tried to tell me Wrong 'em Boyo was a cover, but I don't believe it is. And Bankrobber is also kind of a cover, but the Clash changed it alot.

Wrong Em' Boyo IS a cover unfortunately, I think Stagga Lee wrote it.


What a great song.

Yea, I knew Bill Haley and the Comets did a song called Stagger Lee, which probably sounded nothing like the Clash's, seeing as first wave ska wasn't around in the 50's.

I have no idea why I posted that :confused:.

I think it was by a ska band though.

i never knew wrong em boyo was a cover, what else is a cover!

brand new cadillac
armagedeon time
pressure drop
i fought the law
police and theives
police on my back
wrong 'em boyo

i think thats our list so far

ooh..why were talking about covers...what are some good covers of clash sogns you have heard...i acctuly think theres a whole cd of clash covers

i know rage against the machine did a cover of clampdown. i would love to hear that

dkm-carrear opprotuines
dkm-white riot
dkm- guns of brixton(horrible cover)
311-white man in hammersmith palais

what else is there

green day did i fought the law...I guess that's sorta a cover of a cover so I don't know if that counts.

the dkm ones were the only ones i could think of. im looking into it though

i really dont like dkm versions..but no one can close to the clash

i dont like the guns of brixton cover. i was going to cover career oppritunities with my frineds for a school show, but it didn't work out.

i finally found another cover: Manic Street Preachers covered Train in Vain.

and it sucked [U]a lot[/U]

i dont like clash's train in vain that much, to me its a boring song

i usually skip it if im thinking about it, but sometimes it comes up when i have it on shuffle, and im usually digging it by the end of the song

train in vain and lovers rock are my least fav. clash songs
