CombatRock 03-30-2005 09:42 PM

were did you get the pics of joes stickers?

guns_of_brixton 03-30-2005 09:48 PM

Pennie Smith was the one who took the photo that ended up on the cover of London Calling. And that motorcycle picture is really stupid.

Coma_Girl 03-30-2005 09:49 PM

that motorcycle pic makes me want to laugh and to puke at the same time.worst picture ever. :lol:

guns_of_brixton 03-30-2005 09:54 PM

Paul looks like a farmer with leather pants :lol:.

And on the last page you guys were talking about who was the hottest one, and in and interview I read once, the interviewer asked Joe if the Clash ever had groupies. He said that Paul was the only good looking one, so only Paul had groupies :lol:.

there's this guy i met on a poetry website (im not emo.) who met Joe & The Meskies.

"Yea, Andy, when I met him after The Mescaleros show in Hartford Ct, I was carrying a local paper and had gotten autographs from all the band members (I am not one for autographs, and this was just a prop and way not to look so nervous), as I hadn't spotted Joe. When I saw him relaxed and in a dark corner, it wa sobvious he had been watching me. So, I introduced myself, told him I quit the factory after hearing his message in Clampdown (your favorite song!), and went back to College and even one some awards writing poetry. He said it was one of the nicest things he ever heard a fan say, shook my hand, had some small talk, and then asked why I didn't ask HIM for his autograph? I told him it was a sort of prop, we laughed, and I said will you please sign this? He did and wrote, "To David = star Thanks Joe Strummer" There you have it! So glad to share this with you, and you seem so awesome and well adjusted in life[I].(this is the moment where Id say:'hummm' if it wasnt a email).[/I]"

so yeah, this is his story...just thought id share cause i like the part when he says he quit the factory after hearing clampdown.the clash changed so many lifes.

paul wasnt THAT hot.

[QUOTE=Coma_Girl]paul wasnt THAT hot.[/QUOTE]

He brings out my gay side :p.

Its pretty awesome that your friend David quit his factory job to do what he wanted to do. Joe's lyrics really spoke to people.

Anxious 03-30-2005 10:26 PM

its funny cause paul siminon is a pianter now, and hasnt touched bass in years.

guns_of_brixton 03-30-2005 10:30 PM

He still plays occaisonally (sp?), just not in aband or anything.

Anxious 03-30-2005 10:30 PM

sketchyjoe 03-31-2005 04:11 AM

[QUOTE=combatrock*bass]was caroline the manager all the way from bernie being fired till the clash breakout?[/QUOTE]
Bernie returned as the manager at one point.

guns_of_brixton 03-31-2005 08:32 AM

Caroline was their manager during Combat Rock, according to some article I read, but I don't think it was mentioned in Westway.

white_riot 03-31-2005 02:46 PM

I want to buy a clash book and i was wondering if anyone could tell me which is the best one to get.

CombatRock 03-31-2005 03:10 PM

andy is reading one right now..dont know the name..but i have never read a clash book so idont know

Forest_Fire 03-31-2005 03:22 PM

same here

Coma_Girl 03-31-2005 05:58 PM

the only one ive read so far is Let Fury Have The Hour: Punk Rock Politics of Joe Strummer and it's good, but it says the same thing over and over again in different words.It's a great book if you want something to make you realize the impact of Joe on the society.

I think i'll get Passion Is A Fashion next month cause it seems pretty interesting and maybe Vision Of An Homeland, the book on the mescaleros.

guns_of_brixton 03-31-2005 06:14 PM

I read part of The Last Gang in Town, but I didn't think it was very good. But that was when I didn't like the Clash as much, so I should probably give it another try.

CombatRock 03-31-2005 06:23 PM

im not much on reading only big things i have read about the clash are in my NME clash issue..if none of yall have it...GET IT..its the best thing i have ever bought (magizne wise)

guns_of_brixton 03-31-2005 06:30 PM

I'll keep an eye out for it.

Forest_Fire 03-31-2005 06:30 PM

where can you get it?

sketchyjoe 03-31-2005 06:32 PM

I got mine from HMV.

guns_of_brixton 03-31-2005 06:32 PM

What is HMV?

sketchyjoe 03-31-2005 06:39 PM

His Master's Voice
