Jesus Christ, is it possible that you guys actually don't know who Joe Strummer is? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

There is scant information so far but he died yesterday. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/2600669.stm |

|
People, he was in the clash, one of the most important UK punk bands of the original punk wave. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
And a comrade. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Shame, they were a good group. Didn't know he was one of them though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Aye, that too. Crap... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
He was the key person......... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
RIP.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I know- just that I don't know any of the bands names. I've only got a few of their tracks... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, your loss, mate. They are a seminal, and I mean seminal UK band . Their importance stretches far beyond punk ghetto. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Can you recommend a particular album to DL (or buy if I see it cheap)? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
London Calling. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ack! Fuck sake... I thought these guys would live forever.! :-( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Or their self-titled debut... Check out their CV on allmusic.com, tho |
||||||||
|
|

|
Just not Cut the Crap or Sandinista |
||||||||
|

|
|
hey i just remember.. wasn't that strummer guy singing: "should i stay or should i go" ?? looks like he made up his mind :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
haha, funny. Though, you shouldn't make jokes about recently deceased people. But, funny. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
you're right |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah that was a BIT tasteless.... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i know . made |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Um, I'm all for bad taste, anyhow, so, wasn't really trying to sound preachy. Anyway, nice to see ya ironlung, long time no see. Working at night again, eh? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as it is VERY NICE to see you again Meho...yes, I am back working nights and actually happy to be here online...I did not have any internet connection for the LONGEST time, now I get to hang here with all my buddies..( like you my friend ) and talk GOOD music. Oh and I also LOVE tastelessness, but cmon, I LOVED the Clash... I guess I am just a little tired. =) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really like the title track of that album. I think I have it on some punk compilation somewhere. "haha, funny. Though, you shouldn't make jokes about recently deceased people. But, funny." Yes, you should follow the gutter press' example and leave it 2 weeks before you start with stuff like that ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Shit I can't believe he's dead. Clash were one of the greatest bands ever. What is the world coming to when good people die and evil cunts stay alive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well, beig addicted to internet must have some bad sides when it comes to withdrawal symptomes. But nice to have you here, dude. Yeah, The Clash used to be something special. Bac then when punk was not just another dogma. Ceri: yeah London Calling is a timeless track. I was never too much into The Clash, tho, I was more of a hardcore/ metal type, but London Calling is one in a million. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, My name is IronLung, and I am addicted to this MB.... All: " Hi IronLung!! " |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Another punk on this MB, eh? Hello Gigi. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Howdy ho, ironlung!!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey Meho. Doing good? I like my punk mate. I was shocked when watching Die Another Day that they had London Calling on the soundtrack. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Holy shit, that was like some kind of omen!!! I haven't seen it yet. I wanted to see it yesterday but my girlfriend insisted we see "About a boy" instead, so we did. Useless piece of petit-burgoise crap with badly drawn boy providing music......... Punk is not dead, but punks keep dying, eh? This year was really bad for musicians, they just kep dying... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
About a boy? Shit me that's an awful film. I feel sorry for you mate. It's bizarre how may truly good musicians die and the ones that aren't that good or inspirational just keep going. Shame Strummer did'nt die another day (Not a bad joke I'm serious) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, and it seems that Chris Rea or Phil Collins will live forever. About a boy is really atrocious. My girlfriend is getting seriously middleaged in her tastes. These days I am actually happy she listens to Korn............ Think for a minute, it could be Elton John instead... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Joe Strummer is dead? :O... I figured he would be alive for another few years--I've seen him in a few films as well as being the singer in The Clash. Well that's just a damn shame. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
A shame, no less. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ah bugger. So long, Joe, you'll be missed. Good solo stuff too. And for god's sake, the man still had a social conscience in his middle age. Still fighting the good fight. That's pretty rare. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Poor Joe..:( |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
All the late 70s, early 80s people are dying now--well OK, Ian Dury and Joe Strummer--but STILL! It's not right! Next to go Terry Hall? I hope not. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

His body is dead but he'll live forever. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
true! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
really sad... weird thing is, i can think of at half a dozen musicians i would have expected to snuff it before him. He looked pretty fit. |
