Apparently Billy Bragg's been going around doing Joe Strummer tribute shows, I'll keep an eye out for a bootleg.

Also, you probably know this, but Joe's guitar is now in the possesion of one of the guys from that communist skinhead/soul band, The Redskins. Who are really good.

guns_of_brixton 04-24-2005 09:17 PM

We should try to get everyone in the punk forum to post their favorite song and lyrics.

The first time I remember hearing anything by the Cladh was when I was about 6 or 7 years old and Should I Stay or Should I Go was on the radio.

Really? How did that happen? and Why? :confused:

Brain Toad 04-24-2005 09:19 PM

I heard Should I Stay or Should I Go on the classic rock radio I used to listen to (stopped because they started playing crap music), which was pretty awesome. Title kind of fit because at the time me and my dad were outside my school watching a mini riot unfold.

CombatRock 04-24-2005 09:20 PM

first time i heard the clash was i told my mom to by me London Calling, i sat down in my bed listing to it..changed my life

[QUOTE=guns_of_brixton]Really? How did that happen? and Why? :confused:[/QUOTE]

Not sure, Billy Bragg said at one of the tribute gigs that it broke his heart when Joe gave his guitar to the guy from the redskins, because Billy really wanted it.

But I heard from alot of people he bought it at an auction.

I hope the first one is true.

TheNowhereman42 04-24-2005 09:22 PM

First time I heard the clash was when I bought The Clash [US Version] after finding London Calling in my garage (at the time I didn't have a record player)

THe crappy alternative rock station here played Clampdown once. And at Laser Quest they always play Clampdown when youre in the 'battle zone'.

NOOOOOOOO!

it breaks my heart...i know they were talking about giving it to one of his fan (a musician) so his guitar could still play great music and change the world or something like that.they took this idea from some other dude who died and his guitar went to another musician...but i didnt think they would do it for real...if i was his daughter, this guitar would have mean so much to me...meeeeh.at least, i hope this guy take care of joe's guitar. :mad:

IFlogMyMolly16 04-24-2005 09:30 PM

Haha I thought you guys meant the football team. (Redskins)

TheNowhereman42 04-24-2005 09:34 PM

I'm sure his guitar will be fine, this guy has all the respect for sentimental things that comes with years of being an iron-fisted communist 80's skinhead who likes soul instead of Oi!

CombatRock 04-24-2005 09:35 PM

the redskin football teams is full of commie skin heads as well

Coma_Girl 04-24-2005 09:37 PM

hmmmm.i'm still not sure it's a good thing.

guns_of_brixton 04-25-2005 04:55 PM

If you can, I don't know where.

white_riot 04-25-2005 05:43 PM

I am bit late because my internet wouldn't work for a couple of days. I chose this song because it was the first clash song i ever heard and i love the start to it. The film clip is also pretty cool.

"I Fought the Law"

Breakin' rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the law won [x2]
I needed money 'cause I had none
I fought the law and the law won [x2]

I left my baby and it feels so bad
Guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the

Robbin' people with a six-gun
I fought the law and the law won [x2]
I lost my girl and I lost my fun
I fought the law and the law won [x2]

I left my baby and it feels so bad
Guess my race is run
She's the best girl that I ever had
I fought the law and the law won
I fought the law and the
