http://youtu.be/6qvlQiKYLzk A great song from Mick Jones Carbon/Silicon project caled Really The Blues Damn, it didn't go through... oh well, if this thread is kept alive I'll post more Clash related stuff.

http://youtu.be/sjqSRQoxnhs This is closer to a final word on the Clash than Cut The Crap is. This is Jones's post Clash band Big Audio Dynamite & their second album No. 10 Upping Street was co-produced & co-written by Jones & Strummer which this song is off of. From the opening lines of "Sodom & Gomorrah let the DJ play, cuz I'm only gone tomorrow & here today..." is typical Strummer.

http://youtu.be/1ZhUVvmp4ro This song would fit in perfectly on either Sandinista or Combat Rock. MIck & Paul are here with Mark E Smith filling in on vocals for Joe. I absolutely love the whole concept of Gorillaz, they've gotten "it" right.

Interrupting all programs.... just amazing

Your welcome dazedcat Come to think think about it, I was still 7 about to turn 8 when that episode first aired lol. Zeppelin Led, it is. Blondie gets the credit for first merging hip-hop & rock/punk/new wave etc., but it was the Clash slightly before with The Magnificent Seven & This Is Radio Clash. The Clash had Grandmaster Flash open some of their Bonds shows in 1981. Mick Jones love of hip-hop led to the music on Combat Rock more than that they were looking to be more commercial. Jones carried that hip-hop influence onto his next band Big Audio Dynamite pretty much through out their career.

http://youtu.be/RwxNLgAkOq4 One of my favorite songs by anyone, period. My favorite off of Sandinista & I was happy to find out it was Joe Strummer's favorite off the album too.

http://youtu.be/gFgcjyuUdpA Whomever made this did a fantastic job. The instrumental track of The Call Up aka The Cool Out, both on Sandinista, spliced together with Deniro's dialogue from Taxi Driver & fantastic footage that really captures New York City in the 70's throughout the 80's. This should be released officially.

http://youtu.be/9pYwPc6UNmo One my favorites from the man. He is missed by this guy.

Here's Mick Jones & Paul Simonon in Gorillaz, keeping the spirit of Sandinista alive...

http://youtu.be/hu-02udB57w The last time Joe Strummer & Mick Jones would play together onstage before Strummer's death a few weeks later. I can't believe it's almost been 10 years...

http://youtu.be/VUNRPDaTsaA In A great 4 song set! I saw this when it originally aired, I was only 8 but my older brother made me stay up watch it P1: London Calling, Train In Vain

My second favorite band as well, behind Zeppelin. I don't think the Clash ever sold out, in fact I hate that term because what does it mean? Did they sell out because Combat Rock was commercialized compared to the original Mick Jones mix of Rat Patrol/Fort Bragg? Did they sell out for playing stadiums? Did they sellout for expanding their sound & making it big in America unlike their contemporaries like The Jam who were huge in England but never made a dent in the US? Did they sell out when Sandy Pearlman, Blue Oyster Cult's producer, cleaned up their sound from their first album & singles to the more polished Give "Em Enough Rope? Or did they sell out when they signed to a major label instead of a indie label like Stiff before they recorded one note? All those charges have been thrown at them & it's all nonsense. The Clash always wanted to be a huge band but on their terms, which they did. To make the triple album Sandinista more affordable to fans to be sold at the price of a single album the band members didn't make a dime on the album, giving up royalties on it, until 200,000 plus couples were sold. What major band does that then or now? Outside of Radiohead I can't think of anyone. The Clash were the model. As far as Paul Simonon, he pretty much only likes reggae... with some, rockabilly, r&b, & some punk thrown in, but that's about it. He only listened to reggae & ska prior to joining the Clash so quite frankly Led Zeppelin were never going to be his thing.

The Heartbreaker solo is one of Page's sloppiest solo's on a Led Zeppelin studio record, if not the sloppiest. I find it hard to believe he would have edited 10 1/4 reels of tape to have a solo sound that sloppy. The energy in that solo comes from that it is in constant motion & quite frankly I don't think that can be faked or edited, it's a beautiful train wreck. Now if this accusation were put to the Tea For One solo, sure it's supposedly one take according to Page but I could doubt it, in this Heartbreaker scenario I have no doubts.

http://youtu.be/_yoJkJyVcfY Never seen this one before. I believe it's a Muddy Waters song that the Stones covered early on in their career too.

http://youtu.be/7HWiRtAplmM I never heard or seen this before but it's great. I love the original Buffalo Springfield verison, & I've always thought that Stephen Still's voice on the original with his delivery & rasp reminded me of LZ3 era Plant. Robert does this great song fine justice.

http://youtu.be/FNT2xMR2FzM I've loved this since I first saw on it a mixed LZ bootleg video tape I mail oredered in 1988.

http://youtu.be/ezNyR9_P--8 A great version!

http://youtu.be/nXOpB1Szgmk This is the version that Page played on, not the more popular version. Jagger/Richards at this time would write songs for their manager's label Immediate, which Page was a house producer/guitarist for. This was a Jagger/Richards original intended for another artist to record with the only Stone on it being Jagger to provide a guide vocal. It's obvious Page is playing the chords & lead but I wonder if he's doing the pedal steel on this. Damn it, didn't go through. Well anyone who's curious it's "Heart Of Stone" off of the Stones Metamorphis album.
