Bobby Fuller Four - I Fought The Law Better sound

[richietarrant1]

This song reminds me of Cheers

[zebowillisjr]

I am the son of Jim Reese the lead guitarist for the Bobby Fuller four. My dad died believing tha Bobby was killed by either the Mob or Manson. I believe he was murdered by the LAPD.

[spacepatrolman]

@zebowillisjr when the FBI says mob they mean the mafia a think tank told them to stop saying mafia i never heard of any connection with manson why would the LAPD do it?

[AlbertaRose94]

I can't believe my dad got me hooked on this song, when he was born in 1944 and I was born in 1968!

[evajoey7755]

I really Fought thee Law & thee LAW "WON"

[nomiclas]

i fought my maw and my maw won

[stafylides]

Reading some of these comments, I am surprised to read that he committed suicide. True or false? he seemed so happy in this vid, it's a pity. Great song, and voice.

[zebowillisjr]

@stafylides he was murdered by the LAPD.

[CryptoDriver]

@zebowillisjr Nothing like a certain statement with absolutely no evidence at all to back it up.

[stafylides]

@zebowillisjr thanks. How did this happen and for what reason? was he meddled in something ...?

[Johnk662561]

@Pittschn...really? How do you explain the defensive wounds on his hands? Why would a man who just signed a new recording contract AND a contract for a new car want to kill himself? Why would he drink gasoline in his car, in the front seat, in front of his apartment, in the middle of the day? "Suicide"? Iiiii don't think so.

[zebowillisjr]

@Johnk662561 He was murdered by the LAPD

[spacepatrolman]

@Johnk662561 he was found in the back seat with the hose wrapped around his neck with gasoline on his shirt it was labeled an accidental asphixiation from syphoning gas or was it made to look like that?

[Pittschn]

Bobby commited suicide, deal with it.

[Cakeyflour]

@AlbertaRose94 LOL! Read your own comment again mate....XD!

[AlbertaRose94]

@Cakeyflour Thanks! I corrected it.

@scottishdrunk097

Yo, dumb drunk. I love this song, but the Clash did not remake the song into shit.

They made the best version of it, ever. Stick that in your pipe, and smoke it.

[Mojodamas1]

@thenthelightningwill He's smarter drunk than you are sober.....the only distinguishing characteristic of the Clash's attempt is that they sing as shitty as they play....but then, that's par for the course for the Clash.

[spacepatrolman]

@jay19xxx i have no conection with the mafia there may be some mafia involvement in bobby fullers death I dont know why you keep saying these idiotic things about him

[juliusyeung0330]

drinking beer in the hot sun

I fought the law and I won

I fought the law and I won

I needed sex and I got mine

I fought the law and I won

I fought the law and I won

:D

[mcwaddle]

@juliusyeung0330 clearly you cant write a good song cause you put mine instead of some. that would have been way better. no offence

[juliusyeung0330]

@mcwaddle

....this song is by the dead kennedies... so tell them they can't write a good song.

[mcwaddle]

@juliusyeung0330 I just realized how much of a faggot I sounded like. I retract that comment

[spacepatrolman]

@jay19xxx YOUR AN ASSHOLE YOUD BETTER PULL OUT OF YOUTUBE WHILE YOUR STILL BREATHING

[spacepatrolman]

@jay19xxx who are you calling an idiot you sound like a 9 year old

[spacepatrolman]

@jay19xxx thats totaly wrong there is no evidence of that how can you say such a thing

[sppd100]

Better Sound MY ASS!!!!!!

[cobalt789]

@sppd100 look buddy if you wanna go back in time and have them re record this with modern equipment, be my guest.

[sppd100]

@cobalt789 no I mean this video title is misleading. There is a better sound quality vid posted by lol1600. Since this recording is from a live performance, the quality isn't "Better sound". Don't get me wrong, I love this song.

[elcash53]

Is this a photo of the BF4? Doesn't look like them.

[Satchmoeddie]

I guess maybe the Mafioso sabotaged his drag racing car. That is how Bobby Fuller dies. He raced the OLD top fuel style cars with the long front end, but the engines were in the front of the driver back then. I guess it is nice to go out of this life doing something you love doing. The Clash did a great cover. I am not a huge Greenday fan. How Booby Armstrong made the cover of Guitar Player I do not know. I thought you had to be more of an accomplished guitarist, not a popular bar chord hack.

[koalacatcher]

@Satchmoeddie what are you talking about? He was physically beaten up badly, his finger was broken and he had gasoline poured all over him. He died a horrible death- far from anything he loved doing.

[LousFool]

@koalacatcher It still upsets me thinking about it. What he must have went through that day. Such an awful way to lose your life.....

[spacepatrolman]

@Satchmoeddie His picture was taken in that dragster but he never raced the car it was sponsered by WKRLA they also sponsered a competion coupe that he recorded a song about king of the wheels a dj at wfdu said on the air that bobby died in a car crash but that was wrong jan berry was in a bad accident bobby was found dead of asphixiation in the back seat of his car with bruises on his face gasoline on his shirt a hose around his neck skuff marks on the backs of his heels like he was draged

[spacepatrolman]

@spacepatrolman It diffently wasnt an auto accident because his car was parked in a parking space in front of graumans chinese theater where he had an apartment a cop through out the gas can without obtaining finger prints

[Satchmoeddie]

@spacepatrolman Thanks, I had just heard what a friend who owned an all vinyl used record store told me years ago. I am kind of busy cleaning up after hail the size of large marbles up to cue ball size was driven into my house by 75 MPH+ winds. I had 74 hours with no electricity at the end of a long hot Phoenix Az summer. I rented a 6KW genset this time. It kept a fan goin and the food fresh, but my roof is gone, 12 broken windows, dents in the car, and who know what else I'll find trashed.

[spacepatrolman]

@Satchmoeddie i knew a friend that had a record store he only sold what he personaly liked so he went out of business i bought a lot of great records then.

[Satchmoeddie]

@spacepatrolman I can see a lot of mistakes being made by cops back then, and even today. It makes one wonder who he pissed off that much. It doesn't take much to get some people mad. Playing music in bars like I did brought me into contact with some real a--holes. It has not been so long ago someone still has to know who killed Bobby Fuller. Well I am looking forward to a trip across town in 98 degree heat with the heater stuck on in the car, during rush hour of course! Bad vacuum control line.

[spacepatrolman]

@Satchmoeddie A cop in LA back then hit the singer jimmy rodgers in the head with a pipe when he thought he cut him off he was in a coma but that wasnt a mistake it was an intentional attack .

[mrbungle84]

The Clash Version is much better

[bassman0111]

@mrbungle84 Yeah but youve got to have respect for the original

[koalacatcher]

@bassman0111 this isn't the original, sonny curtis and the crickets did the original.

[mrbungle84]

@bassman0111 Yeah, I think so. It's just a comment.. anyway, this is a good song

[psychkoala]

@mrbungle84

Great band, but they couldn't sing.

[TeenCretin]

@psychkoala What the fuck are you talking about, Bobby was an awesome singer...FUCK YOU, YOU DEAF BASTARD.

[psychkoala]

@TeenCretin

Um, we were talking about 'The Clash', as referenced by my 2nd comment- the one which immediately followed the one you quoted. But after taking a look at your homepage, I think already know that... troll.

[Wehlcity]

Battlefield Vietnam!!!! :P

[Stealthgato]

haha yeah :D

[crashthepopularkids]

yee booi

great game

played it 2 years but now i play tactical ops haha

[jimwalsh2001]

YEAH!!!!!

[kickassfan]

fking great,Bobby gone too soon but never forgotten

[spacepatrolman]

@kickassfan He fought for his life but the mafioso that killed him will be brought to justice some day .

[kickassfan]

ok spacepatrolman he will never ever be forgotten,ever

[koalacatcher]

@spacepatrolman if they weren't by now it seems pretty unlikely unfortunately. A lot of people were in on this coverup most likely.

[nasafakedit]

@spacepatrolman yea he was murdered but they were never caught

[geoffdoor]

@spacepatrolman why do you say the mafia killed poor bobby fuller ...everyone drinks petrol don't they !!!

[spacepatrolman]

@geoffdoor its posible for someone to be aspgixiated from syphoning gas there is a type of pneumonia you can get from gas fumes which is hard to treat becuse it is not caused by bacteria but there are so many signs of foul play in this case bruises on his face ,sitting in the back seat , a hose wraped around his neck ,scuff marks on the baks of his heels like he was dragged [ there s a rape casein new jersey when someone threw a blanket over a womans head hit her overte head

[spacepatrolman]

@spacepatrolman hit her over the head with a rock and dragged her off I dont know if one perso could negotiate something like that it could have been 2 people same with bobby fuller

[geoffdoor]

@spacepatrolman bastards what problem is a 23 year old gonna cause i wonder if there was ever a film script knocking about ...

[spacepatrolman]

@geoffdoor they kicked the idea of a movie around after the ritchie valens movie but it didnt happen

[HHH100]

@spacepatrolman You sure about that? Sometimes things are not what they seem at first. Maybe you should look at the democrats more closely. Anyway the original five have deep roots. Franky new best. Look outside the lighted area. CIAO

[cidimaki]

this is the best
