Maybe a "back to our roots, but not really" album after seeing the popularity of pop-punk bands like Blink 182.

Both of these options would be fucking awesome.Rat Patrol wrote:No...there would've been a hip-hop album in '89 after Public Enemy opened for them on their 1987 NYC residency, Joe had a religious experience, and the band started wearing clocks on their necks and toy Glocks in their trousers onstage.
I actually would've found an Unplugged performance cool, given that the Busking tour worked pretty well for them.
There. I said it.

In fact, I really want to hear Clash/PE mashups now.

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Re: LIFE IS WILD APPRECIATION THREAD!!.
In all honesty, after the topsy turvy second half, my brain is pretty much mush by the time I get here. "TIE" - oh this one is alright. "TCT" - really catchy even if it is a terrible bastard. "Fingerpoppin'" - ... "Play to Win" - RAGH! N&S - Hey I kind of like this one. It is too much okay songs to horrid shit songs alternating that LIW just doesn't register.Rat Patrol wrote:Whoever has the endurance to listen to the full album and still be able to critically process stimuli by the time LIW comes on has the stamina of the world's strongest man. I blacked out on the floor and went into immediate rigor mortis sometime during the North and South keyboard solo.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

This song reminds me of what Nick said, when I first interviewed him all about this stuff...of reaching the point where he hadn't a critical faculty left in his body anymore, 'cause nobody would have listened, anyway. Hearing this train wreck of a song, it's easy to see why he said that.

Re: LIFE IS WILD APPRECIATION THREAD!!.
Hey, remember when the official Life Is Wild lyrics were printed in that weird booklet? Does anyone have a link to it or do they know the correct lyrics?
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board
Re: LIFE IS WILD APPRECIATION THREAD!!.
So random. Would love to get the verse lyrics some day too. I don't think my interpretation was accurate:
You have to reek one I suppose
It's a door in a Cuban pie

I feel that there is a fascistic element, for example, in the Rolling Stones . . .

This is EXACTLY what I wanted a new Clash album to sound like in 1984. Gerald is a genius.

He's got a new EP with the tracks, so give him a holler and see what's what.coffeepotman wrote: ↑19 Jun 2023, 4:24pmI agree 100%, but I thought I read somewhere that Gerard was also going to work on the other songs that didn't make the album. It that true or just a fantasy?
