[QUOTE=white_riot].

Good point, do you have any ideas of what I could put on there.[/QUOTE]

You stole my name! lol

Jimmy jazz is a fuorking great song , lyrics are great and its got a nice jazz feel to it , feels like you are sitting in a club! :thumb:

Joe Strummer is a F>*king legend. Strummer was one of the ultimate performers of our time , his lyrics are briliant and always make you think and always gives multiple interpretation to the songs , he is one ofthe most innovative artists. Sandanista! is a great album to show you how diversethe clash were , the clash is the ultimate punk record , give em enough rope is pretty good combat rock has some great tunes , and london calling is a masterpiece of rock and roll and music in general.

The mescaleros were a original and fresh sounding band with joe's great songwriting


You cant forget Mick Jones either as he wrote some of the good songs like Stay Free and "lost in the supermarket" after the clash mick then went on to do B.A.D and produce the libertines which is pretty cool I reckon.


Joe was the Punk and master lyricist , who could write deep and great lyrics , Mick was a Great musician who could turn joe's energy into a catchy form , and bring his own great stuff to the table.

You gotta remember strummer only sang half of the songs really , he and mick were a pair.

Both are absolute legends.

[QUOTE=Coma_Girl]whats your favorite clash lyrics?

"He who f[U]uc[/U]ks nuns will someday join the church"

I'm going to see Carbon Silicon next Saturday, Which is Mick Jones' new band.

Today in computer we got assigned our next 6 weeks project, and i have to do a powerpoint presentation that's at least 10 slides long. My topic is: The Clash. I know I should put in obvious things, such as band members and discography and bio, but are there any important or special things that you guys think i should put in?

their huge, huge influence.

they were pretty much the first band who mixed up different genres

[QUOTE=IMONXTC]ill name some lyrics that no one else is going to: "up in heaven (not only here)", "the card cheat", and "lost in the supermarket" have really good lyrics....what, im not gonna post em. google it b[b]i[/b]tch.[/QUOTE]

In the Card Cheat there's a line about the Hundred Years War, which I had to write a paper about.

/didn't write the paper

when they beat down your front door
how you gonna go?
with your hands on your head
or on the trigger of your gun

ooooh, the Guns of Brixton!

"What do we have for entertainment?
Cops kickin’ gypsies on the pavement
Now the news - snap to attention!
The lunar landing of the dentist convention
Italian mobster shoots a lobster
Seafood restaurant gets outta hand
A car in the fridge
Or a fridge in the car?
Like cowboys do - in t.v. land"

i love the lyrics of guns of brixton...and it seems like a lot of people do, cause its an awesome song.I love clampdown.And lost in the supermarket.

Yankee dollar talk
To the dictators of the world
In fact it's giving orders
An' they can't afford to miss a word

I'm so bored with the U...S...A...
But what can I do?


from my canadian point of view, it sounds so true :p

I love how in Westway they wrote it on the ice cream shop's window with ice cream.

You gotta drag yourself to work
Drug yourself to sleep

i love this part of all the young punks too.and this one:

Face front you got the future shining
Like a piece of gold
But I swear as we get closer
It look more like a lump of coal
But it's better than some factory
Now that's no place to waste your youth
I worked there for a week once
I luckily got the boot

"Long distance callers make long distance calls
And the silence makes me lonely"


Lost in the supermarket



and if i remember right, then White Man In Hammersmith Palais hasa some good lines too.

"All the young cunts, live it now
Cause there ain’t much to die for"

I love that part.

and these lines:

We had a hedge back home in the suburbs
Over which I never could see

and

I'm all tuned in, I see all the programmes
I save coupons from packets of tea
I've got my giant hit discoteque album
I empty a bottle and I feel a bit free


it's such a great song with great lyrics.Joe wrote it for Mick and in The Last Testament dvd, Mick says he was happy that Joe wrote that thinking about him

I love the guitar solo in that song.

i heard on a special about the clash that joe wrote it from mick's point of view.



but I'm willing to bet that you're right, becuase you know much more about the clash than a local tv program :)

by "thinking about him", i meant from mick's point of view.it wasnt clear, sorry. :upset:

Andy knows more about Joe than anybody :).

ohhh another bunch of awesome lyrics.

"Lemme tell ya 'bout your blood bamboo kid.
It ain't Coca-Cola it's rice." -straight to hell

"Koka Kola advertising and kokaine
Strolling down the Broadway in the rain
Neon light sign says it
I read it in the paper-they're crazy!
Suit your life, maybe so
In the White House-I know
All Over Berlin (they've been doing it for years)
And in Manhattan!" - koka kola

"This is Joe Public speaking
I'm controlled in the body, controlled in the mind" - complete control

"Frederico Lorca is dead and gone" -spanish bombs

"This sound does not subscribe to the international plan
in the psycho shadown of the white right hand
then that see ghettology as an urban vietnam
giving deadly exhibitions of murder by napalm" -this is radio clash



i LOVE their lyrics.joe was so smart :amaze:

[QUOTE=guns_of_brixton]Andy knows more about Joe than anybody :).[/QUOTE]
no, a lot of people know more about him than me.i just have no life. :upset:

[QUOTE=Coma_Girl]no, a lot of people know more about him than me.i just have no life. :upset:[/QUOTE]

But you're the queen of Clash whoring! That has to mean something!

And yes, Joe was really smart.

I said jesus christ baby, where'd you get that cadillaaaaaaaaaaac.

She said balls to you daddy, I ain't never coming baaaaaaaaack.




God I love that line.

has anyone noticed the Trash City- Joe Strummer & The Latino Rockabilly War sticker on Joe's tele (after the clash)?I dwled songs from Joe & The Latino Rockabilly War.It's not that good, but I love the lyrics from the song Trash City.

"First I got an hot dog in a nightmare zone, then I vandalized a cheap pay phone".

Rudie can't fail

[QUOTE=sketchyjoe]Has anybody else got the NME special on The Clash?[/QUOTE]
i havent found it.living in quebec sucks sometimes. :upset:

I don't even know what NME stands for......

[QUOTE=SactoUnited]Clash>Ramones
Now that I got that off my chest...[/QUOTE]


Most bands>Ramones.

But they were the first punk band I ever truly liked.


Nice to listen to when in a quiet mood.

They had the Strummer book at Barnes & Noble, I almost bought it but decided not to.

which strummer book?

let fury have the hour?redemption song:the balad of joe strummer?joe strummer and the legend of the clash?



(when you say 'joe strummer' a lot, you realize that his name dont make sense)

Let Fury Have the Hour was the one. They had a couple other good punk books, but I didn't feel like reading anymore of those type of books so I didn't buy it.

i've been wanting to buy let fury have the hour for a while, but i cant find it anywhere and i dont wanna order it from internet.i heard its not that good anyway, there was someone that posted in this thread that was reading it.i cant remember who it was though.

i would love to get a clash/joe book..but im to lazy to read..soo..
