International Clash Day

[Used 2 B Hu]

Interesting & well done cover by The Afghan Whigs.

Very nice. That opening drum riff sounds like an homage to Train in Vain

 

[pachyderm]

Definitely.

I'm also glad I got to see them 5 times during that tour in the summer of '82...Hollywood (twice), once in Santa Barbara, & then twice here in SF.
That was a wild week & a half.

Believe it or not I saw them on the CtC tour. They were still phenomenal.

I didn't mind that album...it was okay considering it was without Topper, and mostly w/o Paul, and I know Joe was somewhat dismissive about it. Mick went on to form BAD shortly thereafter.
But that's another topic altogether.

How ironic

Why don't you go start an Alanis Morrisiette thread?

 

[TheDayMan]

So long liberty, let’s just forget you didn’t show.

Joe Strummer on squatting because rent is too damn high. And other things.

Paul Simonon played bass on that tour.

Wow....that's cool.
Who was the drummer?

Don't yell at me but all this time I thought it was Topper... but I don't recall now.

I can remember telling a buddy of mine he should have gone because all that was missing was Mick Jones.

 

[TheDayMan]

My understanding was Simonon was there until the end. And the drummer who took over for Headon was Pete Howard, who I assume would have played for any Cut the Crap tours.

Both live drum and bass parts were mostly cut from that record, but both were still with the band, as far as I know.

So at least you got to see half of the original band.
Joe & Paul.

Yeah...pretty sure that's about right.
