The Clash - The Magnificent Seven

[luchpockets]

The Clash, simply the best !

[OFFENDERRUEB]

MICHELLE OBAMA'S ANCESTORS PICKED COTTON.

[pickbaum4]

@OFFENDERRUEB huh?

[kixxxter]

Anybody remember the artwork from the lyric sheet from the original triple-album, "Sandinista!"? There was a drawing of a guy washing his face in the toilet, which illustrated the third line of this song - "Cold water in the face".

[CornishCockney]

simple bassline but hits the gut like a hammer,the clash,awesome

[jam1ga]

Some dude on here wrote" at there peak the Clash could do anything".Case and point

[zachuto]

An italian mobster, shots a lobster!

[tickedoffnow]

I luv how Vitamin C sampled this :)

[funyun2]

I just love how The Clash rapped at one point.

[juliandereus2]

3:27 WHAT HAVE WE GOT? MAGNIFICENT IPAD!

[underneonloneliness0]

Funk Funk Funk Funk Funk Funk F*ck! Love 'em

[Celestiaetterra]

The best Communist band lol ...

[MagickZoso]

Classic bass line by the great Norman Watt Roy from the Blockheads.

[TheCornOfDil]

Hail Purdue!

[CapitalgCapitals]

Stellar Track...!!

[dropway9]

Norman Watt Roy played bass on this song as Paul was unavailable. Pretty smokin' line.

[fttp211]

we need more songs with hypnotic bass lines!

[PatrickL5351]

STATION IN BERLIN, GERMANY A BAR CALLED "THE METRO" WHEN THE WALL US UP WHAT MEMORIES

[tuzza688]

"What do we have for entertainment cops kicking gypsies on the pavement"- i love that line

[JuanDahlman]

La primera canción de RAP blanco.

Un genio.

[HotHotNewNew]

@JuanDahlman Eres Estupido o que? Con el nombre Juan Dahlman. Ignorante que se odia si mismo. Ooohhh "rap" blanco. Tu que eres? Nopal en la frente o que? Babas.

[MrByayoub]

¿ bravo..

[MrByayoub]

esta cancion es como el de mickel jackson

[uvebeentagged]

oh. my. god. paul simonon i should hug you.

[streetparade]

@uvebeentagged Well, if you want to hug him for the bass line you'll need to hug Norman Watt Roy, because he's playing here. If you want to hug Paul for other reasons I understand entirely.

[MrMonsterstiffy]

Still as relevant as the day it was released.



[iwantcompletecontrol]

@MrMonsterstiffy Pretty much applies to almost every Clash song there is, which is unfortunate sometimes. Examples off the top of my head:

>White Riot -"All the power in the hands of the people rich enough to buy it"

>White Man in Hammersmith Palais -"Turning rebellion into money"

>London's Burning -"Everybody's sitting 'round watching television"

>I'm So Bored with the USA -"Yankee dollar talk to the dictators of the world"

Know Your Rights, Ghetto Defendant, Charlie Don't Surf, etc... lol

[notagent47]

Vacuum cleaner sucks up budgie Ohhh noo!

[googie64]

Too bad the band isn't alive and together today. They branched in to so many genres- I can't imagine all the great new sounds they'd be turning out today.

[iwantcompletecontrol]

@googie64 I'm kinda glad it ended when it ended. We wouldn't the Clash turning into the Rolling Stones now would we...? A band of old geezers that don't know when to call it quits... In a way the Clash's short career helped cement their legacy as one of the greatest bands of all time. So much quality in so little time! RIP Joe Strummer

[LOWOWLmusic]

love this song!

[thedroogfulable]

Plato the Greek, a rin tin tin!

[derrymadness]

'Norman Wattroy, Bass' enough said...

[stuey49]

how funky

[derrymadness]

@stuey49 Bass by storm'n Norman Wattroy

[NorwegianCommie]

Sandinista! > The Clash > London Calling > Give Em Enough Rope > Combat Rock > Cut The Crap

[MistressGrammar]

This song usually = me dancing around my kitchen while I'm cooking or cleaning up.

[4213nadia]

Excellent sublime le must la classe vive THE CLASH !!! <3

[4213nadia]

Excellent sublime le must la clase vive THE CLASH !!! <3

[UNPROPHETE]

I would have masturbated for a loooooong time if I'd came up with a bass line like this.

[rokkar]

10 people don't live a life of reality!!!!! Am I wrong???

"You can't be true, you can't be false, you'll be given the same reward." How true is THAT?????????

[Landotter1]

10 people don't live a life of reality!!!!! Am I wrong???

[Division1985]

A snippet of this song was featured in Iron Man 2..I was hoping to hear the whole track..

[dupree500]

@Division1985 i believe it was in We Own the Night, too.

[masseyHHVP]

Yeah Joe Strummer proved skinny white english guys can rap way before The Beastie Boys showed up LOL...Man do I miss you Joe Strummer...I mentioned that in an earlier post.

[econolibrarian]

"Marx was skint but he had sense/ Engels leant him the necessary pence."  Was that the line you were thinking of?

[manualmaniac1]

2:02 BEST LINE IN THE HISTORY OF SONGWRITING!

[Babyface1968]

One of the most underrated songs by The Clash. Excellent song.

[boazrg]

@Babyface1968 YES!

[gladenkon]

@Babyface1968

my favorite one for sure, but all of them are great man. the movie is great too Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten (2007)



[Juddyom40]

Not "one of the most under rated songs by the Clash" THE most under rated song by the Clash...

[koldfushen]

You gotta admit, these folks could never be called lightweights.

Long Live The Clash!!

[robertaciaro63]

grazie grazie grazie

[dwaynebenzie33]

The most romantic song ever. Even if my girlfriend doesn't agree with me.

[Happysundaze]

The Magnificent Clash ! Quite possibly the greatest English band since the Beatles.

To think when they started Mick and Paul barely new how to play 3 chords, five years later they were instrumental in creating this punkfunk masterpiece.

[hbasghedom]

Lyrics Please.

[TheStarlitedecay]

@hbasghedom use google

[RubberBanditsfan1]

Makes me want to do the magnificent dance

[68rsz28]

[cyphercrimson]

Another underrated band. Shame, big shame

[HIGHPOSTERtown]

they used to mix this in nyc house music clubs . and it was hot.

[aniliticl]

hahaha

[Babyface1968]

Another great song ignored by radio.

[Okapayukiapa]

Sing this in the shower EVERYDAY and dad asks me EVERYDAY: "how can you be singing this early in the morning?"... :D

CHEESEBOIGUER

[sha1om]

Most amazing thing about this record, to me, is that the lyrics had not been written beforehand: Strummer improvised the whole thing as he went along. Total stream-of-consciousness; direct from his brain into the microphone...

[borealis53]

@sha1om its called freestyling.....obviously u know nothing about hip hop

[971liloo]

Fucking love this song !!

[TheSecretflies]

this is how i get to school every morning without falling asleep behind the wheel.

[galaxieal]

I lived in LA. I drove a 97 Grand Prix. I had a powerful stereo (2 HP, yes, horsepower, about 1500 watts). I remember absolutely bumping this song about Wilshire and Rodeo, and the Bentley that was next to me rolled up the windows. I turned it up louder. Great bass line!

[raftre69]

[dershed]

The version of this on Live at Shea Stadium is incredible. It rocks harder than the album version, but without losing the sick groove.

[SuperMegaUberGenius]

[allhailrussell]

@LocoRico89 as long as its a thumb and not your middle finger

[Spec0pleader]

@LocoRico89 what? no one says that

[flowbiwanchaynobi]

@LocoRico89 this is on a different level than rap in general

[frog12345667891011]

@LocoRico89 Eminem is arguably the best rapper around, and he's white. :D

[LocoRico89]

@frog12345667891011 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA no...

[TheLightningSaix]

@frog12345667891011 it's very arguable. . .
