    You ain't happy less you got one
    Tommy gun
    Ain't gonna shoot the place up
    Just for fun
    Maybe he wants to die for the money
    Maybe he wants to kill for his country
    Whatever he wants, he's gonna get it!
    You better strip it down for a custom run
    Tommy gun
    Waiting in the airport 'till kingdom come
    An' we can watch you make it
    On the nine o'clock news
    Standing there in Palestine lighting the fuse
    Whatever you want, you're gonna get it
    You'll be dead when your war is won
    Tommy gun
    But did you have to gun down everyone?
    I can see it's kill or be killed
    A nation of destiny has got to be fulfilled
    Whatever you want, you're gonna get it!
    You can be a hero in an age of none
    Tommy gun
    I'm cutting out your picture from page one
    I'm gonna get a jacket just like yours
    An' give my false support to your cause
    Whatever you want, you're gonna get it!
    Boats an' tanks and planes, it's your game
    Kings an' queens an' generals learn your name
    I see all the innocents, the human sacrifice
    And if death comes so cheap
    Then the same goes for life!

      Holy shit I really would have loved being there. Just crossed him back in the days at the London airport and just told him they were heroes for me and he said smiling "take care of your heroes, boy!" (!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). He laughed more when I showed him my walkman with Clash cassette in! I still got that walkman and that cassette. That's a trophy of my life.

    You cannot credit Topper's drumming enough for The Clash's sound. He was, in my opinion, the best musician in punk rock and, as Strummer said, the band wasn't the same without him. He was the John Bonham of punk.

    August 1979 and I was 17 years old. The Clash were headlining The Ruisrock Festival in Turku, Finland. I scraped enough money to get the ferry over from Stockholm where I lived. Upon arrival in Turku, I crashed the festival area, jumped over the fence to the backstage area and went up to The Clash's mobile home that served as their dressing room. Paul and Joe were lovely and gave me a few beers and sandwiches + a backstage pass. They were impressed that I made it from Stockholm to Finland and asked me tons of questions about life in Sweden and were genuinely the nicest blokes. Like big brothers, guys you respect and look up to. They opened their show with "Clash City Rockers" and the crowd went nuts! They also played a fantastic new song live for the first time: "London Calling". I was in heaven! After the show, The Clash hosted a fun backstage party and hung out with their fans for several hours (while Graham Parker & The Rumour played their show). The Clash...the only band that matters.

    I had a back molar tooth knocked clean out of my head at a Clash concert at the Brixton Academy. Headbutted by a punk in the mosh pit (we didn't call it that then) I watched the tooth hit the floor and saw it disappear under the heaving crush of Doc Martens. I still miss the very first bit of my body that dropped off. Did it grow by itself to become a mini-punk, mostly tooth-based? I still wonder.

    I learned more from the Clash than any other source growing up. They propelled me to law school, and I do indigent criminal defense now. Every time I visit a client in jail, I hear Mick Jones' oddly sweet voice singing "bang bang go the jail guitar doors ." "Somebody Got Murdered" was the first song my husband and I sang to our daughter when she was born. God bless them all.

      He polished off the bands edge on too many tracks. Last gang in town and guns on the roof are good examples. This track is the exception because it muscles through. Self titled is mixed like a live gig and really in your face compare uk white riot to us white riot to understand. London calling is a far better production and sound for the band.

    • @CymbalVault
      @CymbalVault 7 лет назад +1

      The guitars are too dominant in the mix, and on last gang in town you can barely fucking hear the fucking cowbell. Honestly i think he buried a lot of toppers sound and went balls out for snare and bass drum at expense of the rest of the kit. The british mixes were always superior for this band. Same thing happened to combat rock and about 1/3 of sandinista.

    I was lucky enough to see them 4 times.
    They were probably the best live rock band, ever. Not the most technically gifted (ELP, Crimson, Yes, etc), but the best with life changing visceral impact.
    Yes I include The Beatles in that list.
    The Clash were that good.
    What you think of them, completely true.
    I wish all of you could have witnessed their mighty power, live.

    I'm a teacher & I've been into the clash since I was 15. I'm 52 now. One of my proudest moments as a teacher was when an ex-student came back when he was about 24, not long ago. I asked him what he was doing. He said he was working in music. He then thanked me from the bottom of his heart because I had been the person who had first played The Clash to him & encouraged him to check them out. He told me they were his favourite group and meant so much to him.
