Arcade Fire - Guns Of Brixton - Brixton

[LaCooper]

i love the clash version, but still consider this to be a worthy homage to the original

[woolwichgirly]

This is shocking! Shamefull to even attempt to cover this ledgendary song. An insult to the Clash, and whats with the speaker phone pffft.

[hotapplepie2009]

@woolwichgirly ....give me a break

[TheClashGreenday4EVr]

wheres the insult to the clash button?

[wishew]

Not as good as the original, but I appreciate them covering this fantastic and haunting song and the style they use. It doesn't help that the audience wouldn't shut up so they could be heard at the beginning.

[saratita93]

I think that the reason that you think this performance is so bad is that the quality is truly terrible.

[NayrNitsuj]

Yea, the fucking quality of their singing, instrument playing, and overall stage presence....

[dokgolf]

no you were right, pathetic. Arcade Fire can do better than this

[Cameronesi1990]

Almost as good as the original!?

Joe Strummer will be rolling in his grave, thats a pathetic cover. RIP Joe

[dokgolf]

wouldn't quite say pathetic but "almost as good as the original" no way.

[jslax27]

agreed, Paul Simonon wrote this as a reggae song, and this completely leaves the genre, it would make a good dub, but nothing else. This is in no way as good as the original.

[AngryWeatherman]

Almost as good as the original.

[danrue]

Cool! I hadn't heard this song.

[Jonreid1020]

When they kick out your front door

how you gonna come?

With your hands on your head

or on the trigger of your gun?

When the LAW break in

How you gonna go?

Shot down on the pavement

Or waiting on death row?

Prevent this altogether ... Join the NRA

[BustedHeart]

You can crush us, you can bruise us, but you'll have to answer to oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­hhh the guns of brixton...

[scw55]

I think it's better than the original...
