sandinista is a piece of art.it's just...HUGE.

[QUOTE=guns_of_brixton]Original pressing... wow.

And to Travis, yea, the US version is the one with the sirens at the beginning.

By the way has anybody ever heard the version of Career Opportunities on Sandinista? Its really funny :lol:.[/QUOTE]


whats so funny about it?

[QUOTE=combatrock*bass]whats so funny about it?[/QUOTE]

The vocals are done by a little kid, and the lines "I hate the army an' I hate the R.A.F. I don't wanna go fighting in the tropical heat. I hate the civil service rules, and I won't open letter bombs for you." are replaced with "I hate all of my school's rules. They just think that I'm another fool."

Joe was one funny guy.It's enough to make the song funny.Even when the song is about something serious, theres always a line that makes me laugh

I have the UK Version and White Riot doesnt sound live. I'm pretty sure it is not live.

I just want my 1000th post to say that Joe Strummer is my hero. Death or Glory is a serious song, but I always crack a smile when I hear " He who fu.cks nuns will later join the church." Joe may have left us, but this thread will always keep him alive :).

That last part sounded a bit religous.

Congrats on the 1,000!!

Joe Strummer is a god.

[QUOTE=skankinBassist]Congrats on the 1,000!!

Anyway, this is my 100th post in this thread, therefore it is special




And my clash project for school is looking awesome

In before the 1,000th post!!!!!

I'm glad that my 1000th post is in the Joe Strummer thread, and that it's the same day as Ska Pirate (forgot your name again, you can throw rocks at me) and Sean got theirs.Party at my house guys.
I remember my first post here was about The Clash.So now, you all already know I'm a clash whore.I don't even know why they mean so much to me.Well, yeah, I know, but I won't get in the details cause it's emo and boring.I love the clash....and I love Joe...twilililili

Clash City Rockers!

I'm in love with this thread. :thumb:

[QUOTE=combatrock*bass]wait i though u just said you did[/QUOTE]

:upset: i wish i had met them though

You had better remember Ska_Pirate's name.


It's the same as mine, and that is important.

Dustin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You ruined the mystery...............

well, this name doesnt exist in quebec.
that's my lame excuse for not remembering it :upset:

Old people know nothing.

Except Joe. He did. Although he wasn't exactly old.

uh..joe strummer is cool

If it was closed, I'd beg them to re-open it.

Also, does anyone know what Ivan Meets G.I. Joe is about? Its avery strange song indeed.

wrong.they know everything...they just forget a lot.


I think Joe would have been awesome at politics.With Joe Strummer as a president, the world would be safe and (almost) perfect.have you ever thought about it?seriously. :amaze:

I'm not so sure. He said "If Karl Marx couldn't make the world a better place, how can 4 guitarists from London?" But you never know, Joe was a very humble guy.

Joe is too much of a "True" guy to be in politics. Nobody would like him, because he wouldn't be telling everyone want [I]they[/I] wanted to hear. I think he delevired his messages in the perfect way though

Yea, I think Joe was too true for politics. Complete Control might work well as a campaign song though :D.

EDIT: Holy crap, I've got 302 posts in here.

Wow, I'm a Clash whore.

I'm not saying he would have liked being president, and that people (except us) would have voted for him, but he had great ideas.I've read something in a french magazine....The readers voted Joe as the artist they would have wanted for president.Joe answered with his 'electoral program' and it was really good.I need to find it and to scan it...I wonder if he ever realized he is so important to some people...maybe Sean is right...he was too humble to know it.or at least to know just how much he had an impact on younger generation

[QUOTE=guns_of_brixton]Wow, I'm a Clash whore.[/QUOTE]
:upset: you beat me.

True, I don't think any of the Clash knew how "big" they were until Joe died. I think White Riot posted a Topper quote about that.

yea..with out Joe i think they would just be another rock and roll band...i dont think Mick would have led the clash in the direction that Joe did
