The Clash - Stay Free

[shockzrock]

Hello, this is Ned Schneebly.

[DoctorDoBuggerAll]

I always felt Mick Jones was well under rated. Brilliant tune writer, and guitar player.

[XXpunkrockwarlordXX]

"we met when we were in school

never took no shit from no one, we weren't fools

the teacher says we're dumb

we're only having fun

we piss on everyone

in the classroom" hey that sounds a lot like me!!!

[funkymattman]

[tommy76701]

2:41 on wards to the end (School of Rock) "Ah, you know what I think he's coming in right now. Ned Phone!!!! Hello this is Ned Schneebly lol

[kpaso24]

Mick.. some of the first and best shows I ever saw, 1982

[PascalVillarubias]

L'un des meilleurs morceaux de cet album un peu bancal... Ultime prise d'élan avant l'époustouflante épopée du groupe... J'ai toujours un peu tiqué sur les paroles mais ce n'est pas bien important... L'essentiel est ailleurs... with Topper Headon!!!

[akavari112]

THIS IS MICK JONES YOU IDIIOTS. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? JOE? REALLY? HOW THE F CAN U CALL URSELF A CLASH FAN?

[Omaigawdness]

@akavari112 How the fuck can you have just seriously said "How the 'F'"

[snail4785]

I saw the Clash twice and have listened to them for many years. This is Strummer!

[jolibelle]

[snajper4141]

Stay FREE POLAND !

[69Dannymc]

Don't care about the debates, love the Clash.

[AbbeyRoadkill1]

The Clash aren't one of the best British punk bands ever. They are THE GREATEST PUNK BAND OF ALL-TIME, PERIOD. They're the ONLY band that matters. Bands like the Ramones, the Sex Pistols, and Nirvana are special, but The Clash were simply on another level. They could play any kind of music (not just punk) and absolutely KILL IT! Long live The Clash!

[iwantcompletecontrol]

Wow, I can't believe a couple of idiots actually think it's "step tightly" instead of "step lightly." WTF does "step tightly" even mean?

[alltheyoungpunks1]

go easy, step lightly, stay free.

[NoiseTrooper]

amazing song, and amazin Mick Jones singing!!

THE CLASH ONE OF THE BEST BRITISH PUNK BAND EVER!!

Go easy, step tightley, STAY FREE!!

[LightsedgeGaming]

[kamerar]

Go easy.

Step tight-ley.

Stay free............

[SpaceInvaderist]

My life wasn't nearly this cool, but this song still makes me nostalgic.

[0SierraMaestra0]

Joe Strummer would be about my second or third favorite musician, if it was it for his erroneous error, saying that he didn't want to sound "pretty" like the Floyd...but but but, whether the Floyd is pretty or not, there is no reason to resist sounding like Floyd because that band is one of the rarest finest most sophisticated irreplaceable sounds ever: I guess I'll have to getover selfrighteous englishmen like Morrissey,how can you reconcile veganism and kilingdjs,Strummer ect, still of thebest

[GreekGiraffe]

@0SierraMaestra0 Pink Floyd is pretentious and sucks.

[RaptureandZune]

@0SierraMaestra0 Pink Floyd is a pretentious douchebag.

[BigDuke921]

Was the riff of this in school of rock ?

[mattf1sh97]

@BigDuke921 yes yes it was

[thesillyshitty]

@BigDuke921 Yep

[reallytheblues]

@BigDuke921 Yes.

[Konjoism]

Ovo me podsjeca na Lejlu. I plasi me sto joj to ne smijem reci.

[1961shaun]

The Clash have always been brilliant, and somehow they just get better & better, no-one will ever get near them. r.i.p Joe, a quarter of the best band ever.

[zimbo24560]

You must be always a lover for all the time is coming to the future!!

[nightgrip]

No one mentions the awesome and creative bass line throughout this whole song.......so brilliant.

[Taigacan]

3 people suck at competitive gaming 

[MOESYS]

[floppybus51]

Mick's vocals were the best.

[SoulSocietyMk2]

Whenever I hear him say "We'll burn it FUCKING DOWWWWN!" I always want to go out and get in a fight.

[MultiAllmodcons]

the album was slaughtered for some reason in the nme et al.to me its the seminal clash album.and this the stand out track.pure arrogance and aggression.with topper again the driving force.tommy gun.fuck sake.phenomenal.

[jazzyjeff62]

Thanx Blue Apple. Phenominal tune. Best band of all time. Saw them 37 times. With all the shitty bands reforming, The Clash leave their legacy unblemished.

Cheers.

[DelStrainComedy]

[JustaScotsman]

I was a punk from 1977 to 82, when i just got bored as the whole scene had imploded, this is one of the songs that brings back many happy memories of glue sniffing and other solvent abuse...come to think of it its a fekin miracle ive lived this long..!!

[scotthill336]

...stay free, best advice anyone could give.

[unclemort1960]

@gf45100 blimey ,i thought they shared guitarists

[MushroomAppendix]

0 dislikes, that's saying something.

[BertramSpliffsworth]

The lick Mick plays after the "practiced daily in my room" line makes me hard.

[DirtyBoinker]

I always lived my life in Desert & Country places (Nevada), I grew up listening The Clash, Dead Kennedys and many other Punk Rock bands which I didn't know at that time they were Punk, so then I realized and I grew up with Punk in my veins.

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

As a kid I grew up listening to the only band that matters ... The Clash. Today kids grow up listening to Justin Bieber ... S U C K E R S!

[hollistuhhh]

@EssiacHempLaetrile lucky YOU!! im 16 and what do I have to look forward to on the radio ? :|

[EssiacHempLaetrile]

@hollistuhhh maybe you'll be lucky & catch a Big Audio Dynamite concert WITH Mick Jones :)

[hollistuhhh]

@EssiacHempLaetrile lol never know :)

[cazprescott9]

One of my fave songs EVER!!

[jjunius96]

I really like the sound of the singers voice in this song compared to a lot of their other songs, like in combat rock i dont like the melody as much, is this song one of their early ones?

[unclemort1960]

@jjunius96 this is from `Give `em enough rope ` their 2nd L/P its mick jones singing not joe strummer

[FCUKoffBIMBO]

[pavyul]

great album

[orribull]

masterpiece

[Thebassclash]

The clash... Putain mais quel groupe ! jamais vu un groupe aussi emouvant et genial je peux meme pas decrire tellement c'est bien

[gkoz791]

excellent song, often underrated.. 

[lipsandhooves]

Great tune.

In 1977 I wanted to be a punk rocker and rebel and smash the the system but my mum would not let me.

[bleedingheartprod]

@lipsandhooves lol fail

[lipsandhooves]

@bleedingheartprod I was only 10!!!! That was thirty three years ago.

[munrojock]

@lipsandhooves You just made me feel awfy old there!! 1977....16 years old, 6 inch Doccies, ankle strangler jeans, baggy stripey jumper and destroying the front 3 rows of seats at the Odeon in Edinburgh as 'White Riot' bounced off the walls.

[lipsandhooves]

@munrojock Lucky you at least you were there. I remember holidays to my "cool" uncle who still lived at home with our grannie and listening to this album "down the room". Back then houses had a sitting room that people only used occassionaly. She was a bit deaf and never seemed to mind the noise!!

[munrojock]

@lipsandhooves Deaf Grannies and 'smart rooms' help but nothing like being gobbed on for the entire concert if you were bouncing off the stage in the front three rows and White Riot or Clash City Rockers was blasting out....happy days.

[lipsandhooves]

@munrojock Ah the memories. Stick Greig and the Hovis adds up your arse I say.LOL

[Rawlinson18]

@lipsandhooves Never too late mate, nows the time because it's not getting any better, stay free

[lipsandhooves]

@Rawlinson18 I live in Ireland!! We need a revolution.

[THINLIZZYFANno1]

@lipsandhooves indeed

[amarone1956]

@lipsandhooves Nice one! But what you say is so true.

[villadavid4ever]

@lipsandhooves Heheh, my mum says that I listen to punk rock because I´m a teenager and because all of my friends do it.(All my friends are rappers and metalheads lol) And that I´ll stop doing it when I´ll grow up.

Too bad, seems like I´ll never grow up..

[kingxskippy]

@lipsandhooves

That's not what punk is, most people don't understand that.

Anarchy protests involve no chaos. just peace.

It's music, I do it for love, not money, not moshing, not circle pits, not mohawks, none of that.

Just love.

[lipsandhooves]

@kingxskippy Hey Kings. I fully accept that anarchy need to be violent and that the end of democracy does not imply a violent society. However, the lyrics of Anarchy in the Uk evince desire to overthrow and smash the system which was in my view the original emphasis. Bands like the clash broadened the definition of punk music. Modern "punk music" (if that is not a contradiction) does not seem interested in being as overtly political as the original pioneers.

[lipsandhooves]

@kingxskippy My original post related more to wanting participate in a music scene that I was not allowed to. I get the sense that you are talking more about modern demos etc. (I dont mean to presume). The modern anarchist movement has moved away from mohawks etc. Ps what is a circle pit

[kingxskippy]

@lipsandhooves

A circle pit is when the crowd gathers in a circle, and a bunch of people run around and bump into each ther and shit, it's a form of moshing I guess lol.

Moshings when the crowd goes crazy and like pushes into each other and shit lol, it's fun as hell.

Don't get it confused with HxC dancing though, I hate the kids who that shit.

I got hit in the face, because it's weird dancing at Hardcore shows where they swing their arms and shit, the girl helped me up, lol.

[lipsandhooves]

@kingxskippy Thanks for the info. I might be 43 but I did my share of moshing!!! We had the "mosh pit" I never made a connection to circle pit cos I never knew about them. Thanks again

[Kingrob30]

@lipsandhooves Me too! Unfortunately mom's are stricked like that.

[beehands]

@lipsandhooves LOL!!

[ohsosickwidit]

@lipsandhooves Right On !!

[btcc11]

@lipsandhooves So you're supposed to be a rebel, go rebel against your mum.

[lipsandhooves]

@btcc11 I think ewe missed the point

[btcc11]

@lipsandhooves Oh I get it now.
