Coma_Girl 04-06-2005 08:22 PM

[QUOTE=Coma_Girl]what is glastonbury?[/QUOTE]
Big British music festival.

TheNowhereman42 04-06-2005 08:30 PM

whats that got to do with camping?

White Riot! 04-06-2005 08:31 PM

Do you think strummer was a one off for the universe or will he re-incarnate in another form?

Coma_Girl 04-06-2005 08:31 PM

people camp there?

TheNowhereman42 04-06-2005 08:34 PM

camping at a music festival isn't really camping

and white riot your post count is 777

Coma_Girl 04-06-2005 08:49 PM

i wouldnt camp at a music festival either.

guns_of_brixton 04-06-2005 09:31 PM

[QUOTE=White Riot!]Do you think strummer was a one off for the universe or will he re-incarnate in another form?[/QUOTE]

I'm not sure how to answer this :confused:.

I would camp at a music fetival if the Clash were playing there :).

CombatRock 04-07-2005 02:28 PM

this thread was on the second page!!

white riot..what are you talking about Joe being anohter form?

guns_of_brixton 04-07-2005 02:32 PM

Do you guys consider Joe to be the best songwriter of all time? Because I certainly do. The only others that are even close (for me) are Neil Young and Jello Biafra.

sketchyjoe 04-07-2005 02:48 PM

Jello > Joe

guns_of_brixton 04-07-2005 03:00 PM

I can definetly understand that, but I like Joe more.

Off topic, but we should bump the Jello profile and turn that into a huge discussion.

CombatRock 04-07-2005 03:48 PM

i would discuss in the jello thread

joe and jello are both really good people and really good songwriters i cant say one is better than the other.cos thats to hard...

wonder if jello and joe met?

Forest_Fire 04-07-2005 04:17 PM

Jello performed naked one time at a concert with the clash... so I guess they did meet at least once

Brain Toad 04-07-2005 05:07 PM

Jello profile bumped. I think they met, if not, they should've. But I think Jello looked up more to The Ramones than to The Clash.

Tom Waits>Neil Young, Lou Reed>the rest. The top of the rest are really close; Strummer, ray Charles, Jim Morrison etc.

Coma_Girl 04-07-2005 05:31 PM

yeah, I like Joe more.I started my photography project all over again cause I decided to change the subject and to make it in memory of Joe Strummer.Now I don't know what to call it...ideas?suggestions?

sketchyjoe 04-07-2005 05:33 PM

Death or Glory? London Calling? Combat Rock? London's Burning? Police and Thieves?

Just pick a song or album title you like.

sketchyjoe 04-07-2005 05:34 PM

[QUOTE=White Riot!]Do you think strummer was a one off for the universe or will he re-incarnate in another form?[/QUOTE]
that's a good question... :eek: i dont know

sketchyjoe 04-07-2005 06:07 PM

[QUOTE=Coma_Girl]I like them ALL![/QUOTE]
Pull one out of a hat. You want one that summarises his life. Death or Glory would be good for that.

Coma_Girl 04-07-2005 06:10 PM

sketchy, i hate the way you're always right about everything.


thanks.death or glory is a good idea.

sketchyjoe 04-07-2005 06:13 PM

A lot of people hate me because of that.

Silvermedalmafia 04-07-2005 06:58 PM

And I love you for being my loveslave.

Forest_Fire 04-07-2005 07:02 PM

I hate each and every one of you.



I just got back from the bookstore. They had two Clash books there, one was "The return of the last gang in town", and the other was "Joe Strummer and friends". Both were over $20 so I couldn't get either

Coma_Girl 04-07-2005 07:10 PM

i want to read the return of the last gang in town.


Joe Strummer & friends...what a gay title:lol:

TheNowhereman42 04-07-2005 07:16 PM

being gay is punx

sup kids?

Coma_Girl 04-07-2005 07:23 PM

Meantime, We're cutting our hands
On the ke-bab shop
In the streets of fear
Forgetting all those best
Tai-kwon-do moves
On a barrel of beer
We trying to get a signal
Through from Ragga F.M
Do the D.T.I
Bust CNN?

guns_of_brixton 04-07-2005 08:36 PM

Joe and Jello did meet. I SWEAR I once saw a pic with Jello, and the Clash. I forgot where though :confused:.

sketchyjoe 04-07-2005 09:09 PM

The Clash definitely knew of DK. There's an interview in which the interviewer asks Joe if there's such a thing as an american punk band and he says no but Mick says "What about the Dead Kennedys?"

CombatRock 04-07-2005 09:10 PM

you better find it!


plz :thumb:

guns_of_brixton 04-07-2005 09:30 PM

Yea, I want to read that.

I also read an interview where the interview asked Joe if he liked any straight edge bands. Joe said something about not being sure what straiht edge was because "In England we like our beer and cigarettes!"

EDIT: 2000th post in the thread! :chug:
