Cash and Strummer's version of Redemention Song is very good, better than the orginal in my mind.

yea..i need to show my dad that song. he loves Cash but hates Joe and the Clash, maybe if i show him the song he will respect Joe

It fits Joe better than Cash, since its a more revolutinary type song, he adds a lot to Cash's voice when they sing together.

all their albums are good and different, but i think streetcore is my favorite cause get down moses and long shadow are on this one.and long shadow is the first mescaleros song i listened to.

[QUOTE=white_riot]I've got Streetcore and it is pretty good. People usually say thats the best one.[/QUOTE]
people usually think that global is better.or maybe just the people i know...my friends think streetcore is too 'country', they just dont know what they're talking about.it doesnt sound country to me.

I prefer Joe and Johnny's version because it's just means so much more now they're both dead. It's like these two legends coming together with a message from the grave. And as much as I like Strummer, his voice isn't the strongest but it works well complementing Cash's.

it would have been amazing if it Joe Bob and Cash did it.

i really dont like bob marley's version

Oh... I was about to ask who Joe Bob was...


/feels stupid

That's what I thought too. It works extreamly well. I don't like Marley's that much, since I heard Joe and Cash first.

it sad that cash didnt want to record road to rock'n'roll (on rock art).his voice would have sound amazing on this song.

They say that soley because of long shadow, which is a great song anyway

its a great song and the first i ever heard by the mescaleros.it's a sad song though, cause joe died soon after he wrote it.streetcore sound a lot like he knew he would die.it freaks me out.

somewhere in my soul...there's always rock'n'roll...

Yeah I've thought about that, streetcore [I]really[/I] sounds like he knew he was dieing, what with Ramshackle Day Parade, Long Shadow, Redemtion Song, and Silver and Gold.

Coma Girl was the first song I heard

I'll probably get Streetcore for my birthday. It's fairly soft too, right? My parents might even like it...

I've only played Get Down Moses for one person who didn't like it, but he's an ICP fag

[QUOTE=SlappedByTheClash]Yer dern tootin'![/QUOTE]

you made the best thread ever :thumb:

its nice to see that more than just 4 people are postin in the thread now

Coma Girl was the first Meskies Song i heard to. There is this show on this channel on pay t.v which shows music with skateboarding and stuff like that and i looked to see what bands they were going to play and it had Joe and the Meskies and it was coma girl.

[QUOTE=kadbase3]It also stinks that he died like 2 or 3 months befor the Clash were inducted into the rock 'n roll hall of fame.[/QUOTE]
i think it may be a good thing though...i'm sure they would have been great but it could have give them the idea to make a tour.when joe broke his record deal with sony, the condition was that if the clash ever reformed, sony was in control of the band again.

i lost my friends at the deportee station, i'll take immigration to any nation...

i'm looking for a phone, and i cant find one...

i love these lines :D

The first Meskies song I heard was Get Down Moses, and its one of my favorites :thumb:. Steve, you should post your favorite song and lyrics.

i was watching this thing about the ramones on tv. and Johnny started talking about the Clash and he said he said they reminded of the Ramones only better then he started talkinga bout how the UK bands ripped of the Ramones. it was cool thought it had interviews with Joe and Paul.

in that Story of the Ramones movie Johnny said that The Clash were the only band that was as good as them even better. He didn't like the Sex Pistols very much.

[QUOTE=white_riot]The Clash were the only band that was as good as them even better[/QUOTE]
pffff.the clash were about 10000x better.johnny was a really modest person, huh

Johhny was the crazy Ramone, right? Either way the Clash were better.

sorry, off topic
