NEWS

I figured,we outta just save space or something,and just post all our Clash related news on this topic.
Soo...to start this off...
Joe Strummer is in a magazine...like Guitar Legends or something,about the 100 greatest guitarist of all time.
Mick wasn't in it though,that seemed to puzzle me a bit.

Oh yeah,Mick is in the new issue of Word,he's on the cover.
If I had a scanner,I'd scan the pictures,but guess what,I don't,so you lot are out of luck.
It was a good article though,but uhh...it made me cry.

Word? noo.. won't be able to get it here. have never heard of it, or seen it anywhere >_<

Cuz he got phnemonia,and his gran died.
"Seeing me ill made my nan ill. The next year she died. That was a really awful thing,the worst thing that ever happened to me. Nothing else compares. In the end, any bit of joy you can get from life, grab it and enjoy it now."
"That was the time when I lost everything. My nan died. BAD split up and I lost Daisy and Lauren."
And this...
"People who came to visit me say they could see me, inconscious, struggling for my life."
(all quoted by Mick)

You try and tell me that DIDN'T at least make you a teeny bit sad?

Nicked from another forum but:

The Clash are reforming w/Tim Armstrong

Nearly 23 years since the release of the original group's swan song, Combat Rock, and a scant two years since the death of figurehead Joe Strummer, The Clash are reforming for another go at world domination. When guitarist Mick Jones walked away in late 1982, he knew it wasn't forever.

" I was talking to Paul just the other day, and we were saying how The Clash really defined us as people, not to just the world, but to ourselves as well. I thought we had proven all we had to prove, but when you look at how Joe really kept pushing that rock up the hill, it was really na..ve for us to think we could ever stop."

Unofficially dubbed the Lightning Strikes (Not Once But Twice) Tour, The Clash will reform with Rancid front man Tim Armstrong for a series of dates through the United States, Canada, and concluding in the United Kingdom. No details as to when and where it will start, though Jones hinted, "I'd really like to visit New York City again."

Bay area punkers Rancid have been Clash fans for years, and have often seemed to embody the sound and spirit of The Clash. Armstrong's Hellcat label has included Strummer's Mescaleros on many of its budget priced compilations, though Armstrong is reticent to dub Rancid a "Clash tribute".

" There was one historical period when the Clash happened, " quipped Armstrong, "and another where Green Day, Rancid, and the Offspring happened. And the people who think we're just copying the old stuff are the guys driving fuckin' BMWs with anarchy stickers on the bumpers."

Armstrong admits, though, that it is a "deep honor" to front the reformed Clash, and pledges to sport Strummer's classic mohawk when the tour gets underway.

"These are the songs I grew up with, and I plan to be as faithful to the spirit of my friend Joe as I can. I think Clash fans will be surprised. We rehearsed "London Calling" the other day, and it was f**cking amazing."

While no details have been released, Mick Jones believes the tour should commence sometime around Christmas 2005, wrapping up in the U.K. by next Spring. No comment was made about any future recording. "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it", Jones cryptically advised.

that's old news. and apparently it's complete bullshit too.

Yeah. It would suck if they reformed w/Tim anyway.

Yeah,that was a fucking joke.
That's why we have that topic called "The Gangsta Clash" where we all discussed this....
How do these retarded rumors get started anyways?

xAiffoXCorex:

Not really. I love Tim Armstrong and Rancid.

but, as much as you may love Rancid, mixing Rancid and The Clash... it'd just be weird.

EXTREMELY WIERD.

K-Mart is now selling a repro of an old Combat Rock North American Campaign Tour tee,from '82.
Yes,K-Mart. They've now joined among the ranks of AC/DC and the Stones.
I went out and bought one.
But the shirt is really cool though,even if it is by some major mass production company.

this is probably old news but i found this thing about the 10 most wanted fender basses... paul's came 11th (in the 10 most wanted ??? hows that work?)

10 most wanted fender basses

On AOL music, they have this 50 Most Awesomely Dead Rock Stars 'special'. Joe is number 25. There's a bit of a bio there too.
