are you talking about the first practice with the band?

No, the part in Westway when Joe was talking about when he first saw them.

[QUOTE=combatrock*bass]
well at a gig in germany...[/QUOTE]
in the song midnight jam on streetcore joe says:
"name every jail in germany, i've been there while touring with the band" or something along those lines.

he died before he finished the vocals for this song, so there's no lyrics, just parts of joe talking that they took in the radio show he used to host (London Calling).The song starts with "this is london calling..calling...calling".The echo is really cool.

i need to get me a mescaleros cd!!

Since this is my 666th post, I'd like to comment on how evil Terry Chimes (Lamborghini guy :evil: ) is. Good night, and long live the Strummer thread!

[QUOTE=guns_of_brixton]For some reason that story makes me think of Joe talking about wanting to punch Mick and then run for it when he first saw Mick and Paul.[/QUOTE]
when i listen to westway with the french subtitles, it says (the traslation of what it says in french):
"and yeah...i thought i'd punch joe first...'" instead of "..mick first.." and it's joe talking...

whats everyones fav instrumentilist (sp) in the clash

mine would be paul....i llllllllooooovvveee his basssss llliinnes

it's because you're a bass player :cool: but yeah, the bass is awesome

honestly, my favorite part in the clash is the lyrics. (must be cause i'm a writer heh?)

they were all good at their instruments.topper was a really good drummer.mick an awesome guitarist and paul and awesome bass player.joe's voice is the greatest and same for his lyrics.

I wouldn't nessecarily call them good talent wise, just writing wise.

Bit like The Beatles, none of their stuff was hard technically, just really well written

yea..difficutly dosent mean a thing if it doesnt sound good..

i love topper when he is playing the clampdown live on dvd..when joe gets up and stands next to the drums..its such a cool beat

Percussion you fool.


Listen to Lovers Rock and Revolution Rock. Best second percussion I have heard in a while.

what? ^^

there is a Joe Strummer biograpghy on the biography channel in the Uk on March 3rd and 4th.

would it show in america to, or just the uk

Geez American sucks. We need to get some of those UK channels :(

well i live in australia and they are not showing it here which sucks and i dont think they are showing it there either

then how do you know about this?

My favorit instumentalist in the Clash was Paul. Paul rules :D.

i was on punk77.co.uk and went to their forums and there was a thread about it.
this has info about it

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
