that guy from Rancid fought my rifle and my rifle won.

hey everybody that guy fought some guy's rifle! what're the odds?

Another sad money grab. I guess it's okay for old topper and paul (no publishing residuals? did they get credit as songwriters?) to make some money (it won't be any of mine).

So... how many of you bitched when ***MIKE WATT*** joined the Stooges? Just wondering.

(I typed Mike's name like that because he is super-awesome.)

" 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."

didn't those guys in rancid used to be in another band called operation ivy? i thought they were still cool. i still see all the gutter punx wearing their t-shirts. btw, rawk is dead. irony is in a coma because of katrina. i just read this thread about mouth jism and i want a piece of the action:

That's it! The only ism I want to come out of your mouths is jism. Overacademic Bullshit Must Die.

not really a fan- i don't think he defended his case very well. i'm all for intellectual rigor. i was just enthralled because a) i thought the title was funny and b) the whole thing was so self-referential and full of droll wit.

oh come on, does anybody really think that article isn't fabricated?

hence the 'not sure what percent of this is true' comment at the start of the article.

Yeah, it's rubbish. Announced on a pearl jam chatboard?

In all seriousness, I can't imagine Paul Simonon wanting to do it. Jones is a whore, so of course he's up for it.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 16:15 (twenty years ago)

I was going to start another thread, but this one will do..

Just how bad is Cut the Crap? I haven't heard it since it came out. Worth another listen? ever?

― when something smacks of something (dave225.3), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 16:18 (twenty years ago)

Cut the Crap was unimaginably bad and only gets worse with time.

― steve ketchup, Wednesday, 7 September 2005 23:23 (twenty years ago)

hmmm. now I'm actually intrigued!

London's CALLING AND THEIR CALLING YOU GAY

possibly better than any lyric Stummer/Jones ever wrote.

― The Good Dr. Bill (The Good Dr. Bill), Wednesday, 7 September 2005 23:53 (twenty years ago)

Jones is a whore, so of course he's up for it.

Jones was apparently the biggest holdout against doing it at the RNRHOF like Strummer kept wanting to do....

― kit brash (kit brash), Thursday, 8 September 2005 11:23 (twenty years ago)

I believe I read somewhere that Simonon was never going to pick up a bass guitar again. That sounds like a greater hurdle to clear than convincing Mick Jones.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 8 September 2005 19:02 (twenty years ago)

Were the Clash were a good live act?

― PB, Thursday, 8 September 2005 19:05 (twenty years ago)

(oops...)

― PB, Thursday, 8 September 2005 19:06 (twenty years ago)

There was also the factor of Topper not being allowed into the States due to convictions/jailtime for a junkbuddy ODing from Headon's stash etc etc. But goshdarn that Joe was keen to do it!

seven months pass...

Paul Simonon is still fuckin gorgeous, it's unbelievable! When was that picture taken?

― musically (musically), Friday, 14 April 2006 02:05 (nineteen years ago)

I was just going to say... Paul looks great in that photo!

― LOL Thomas (Chris Barrus), Friday, 14 April 2006 04:18 (nineteen years ago)

Whereas Mick makes even Pete Townshend look good.

― someone let this mitya out! (mitya), Friday, 14 April 2006 04:25 (nineteen years ago)

I'm just hoping for his sake that he's having some sort of Eddie Van Halen moment there. But he actually looks pretty much the same as he used to, except without all the hair.

― musically (musically), Friday, 14 April 2006 04:53 (nineteen years ago)

The photo's from September 2001.
