Sham 69 - White Riot

[jsbret2729]

My problem is that everyone around me says they like punk then they call blink182 "punk" I look at them as poser scum more than anything

[Caaljuksss]

@jsbret2729 blink182 first albums was punk, not that new shit.

[FreeUlster1]

I'm 16 and I have the same problem. No one i know likes punk as much as i do. The punk legacy is embers now, but there is still that flame that will always be alive.

[jimmy112]

@FreeUlster1 Clearly looking in the wrong place if you're saying that the punk legacy is in embers... ton's of bands continuing the punk legacy it might not all sound like this but it's punk in one form or another... :)

[FreeUlster1]

@jimmy112 Well the only punk bands i can think of are the Dropkick Murphys, and.... well not much else. Blink 182 and Green Day just arent there when it comes to punk rock. I wish we could go back to the days of Minor Threat and G.B.H.

[mrsexpistols36]

leave this one to the clash, jim

[flux1969]

Nice :)))

[george39375]

sham 69 they was the days great band

[deights13]

LEEDS UNITED!

[NumedyNum]

I hate my generation. I'm 14, I have maybe one or 2 friends who actually enjoy punk, and rock. All the rest are consumed by the black rappers and the gay's who can't sing, so they use autotune. Fuck it, fuck my generation. I'll love punk 'till I die, and I'm fucking proud to have been introduced to this genre. Stick it to the man!

[gorrilaz777]

@NumedyNum rite on bro! its good to hear that im not the only kid who loves punk mtv get off the air 

[mrnoiz23]

@NumedyNum

Just stick with it, I'm 62 this February and this stuff rules my roost.

[AntiFascistZachSkunk]

@NumedyNum

I'm sure calling people fags really helps.

[NumedyNum]

@AntiFascistZachSkunk I didn't call anyone a fag? :s

[HeshPrinceOfBelAir]

@NumedyNum that seems pretty racist and homophobic. try being more open minded and take things for what they are. every genre has gems. you just got to dig for them sometimes

[NumedyNum]

@HeshPrinceOfBelAir I didn't intend to be, all I was trying to say is that I wish more people would like this genre, I know not everyone likes the music I like, and I'm not trying to make my opinion sound more important than others, and that in my opinion singers like Justin Bieber aren't good, others may like him, I don't. Simple :-)

[Niccolontarti]

@NumedyNum Shut the fuck up you little prick. Who gives a shit?

[commiekiler]

@NumedyNum im 11 and love punk lol ur not the only who hates there generation don't worry

[greyhound497]

[kentokie]

THIS SOUNS BEST LIKE THE CLASH U KNOW

[MrLehhy]

Už dnes večer !! :))

[ykac1970]

@MrLehhy kamarat vidim ze si Slovak :D je toto rasisticky band? len sa opitujem :)

[strummer77clash]

Nothing wrong with another band covering Clash songs. Yes, The Clash is the Clash, but I think this song is one for everyone to express in their own ways."A riot of my own" is what it's about. Everyone needs to do it or else we'd all be insane.

[OneClubInLondon]

class

[bobbypoo]

what album?

[anju23maaka]

Fuckin´ good,but Clash is Clash ! ( but I must say that Sham really rocks it!)

[BarrioPunkRock]

[relaxingmusic101]

@BarrioPunkRock well you suck then

[GuruBabadesh]

THPS

[CHRIStian8619941]

with clash spirit:D

[ImAlex123456789]

I like Anti-flags cover of this song too.

[1337maggots]

white riot?=P is it whitepower music?=D

[fifa3008]

@1337maggots no its about how black ppl always fight for their rights when things happen to them but white ppl just take crap all the time and do nothing, its not fascist or anything, theres a better version by the clash though

[clydewell]

@1337maggots  No

[GenoClown]

It is the Clash's song, but I think this is Sham 69.

[MicRidget]

Damn.. you stupid kiddies. This was the first Clash 7inch.... Sham made a cover song in the early days.

Maybe some of you older than 20 remember what a 7-Inch single is.

[ChristBurner]

@MicRidget hehe ;)

[metalyouth666]

@MicRidget yeah i remember this sshit

[ratcunt999]

[Punxundead1]

[somepunxguy]

@Punxundead1 well its sham covering the clash

[okie2339]

[bring6it6down6]

you think that you all know what punk realy is but you dont and i do not eather

but i dont say that someone is wrong about something that i dont even completely understand

and you all are ruining it because youre making rules for a lifestyle that wanted to break rules

and i dont care about who started it !

[redredreds100]

i was born and bred in london, raised in the punk era, i know what we were all about, i am a north london boy, i screramrd, punched and kicked, i saw pistols, clash, siuoxie sue, and sham, i lived that life, in london, so don't say your crap, as syd would say, right about now, FUCK OFF, IDIOT

[guffley]

[pogomentale]

PUNK WILL NEVER DIE FUCK THE WORLD

[HelloNurseWink]

It is dead already.

[MrH88ter]

@pogomentale punk's not red and never will be

[Loppaaan]

@pogomentale PUNK WILL NEVER FUCK THE WORLD, DIE!

[RonnyVain89]

@pogomentale

If I knew you, I'd buy you a beer just for that! Haha.

[MrAlidude69]

@pogomentale totaly aggro lol

[McHorrorshow]

and some punks just don't give a fuck about what other people think about them and do whatever they like, like listening to fucking great British punkrock. So piss off you american cunt.

[HelloNurseWink]

1. Punk is dead

2. The Clash were not a punk band. Not really anyway.

[99nirvanafan99]

Punk is far from fuckin dead punk isnt a music its a type of mindstate. and no matter how long this world goes on someone is always going to have that mindstate.

[HelloNurseWink]

Ah. But the mind state which is punk, is one of originality, and intelligence. Both of which are completely distant from "punk" after the sex pistols. So yes, punk is dead. Because the, "mindset" became a fad, a fashion, and it was sold. A true "punk" mindset these days, would not be a part of the "punk" culture of this time.

[99nirvanafan99]

What are you talking about?

the deffinition of a punk is one who doesnt conform to the normal society.

Forgive my spelling..

but one who refuses to conform i dont care what "fad" you are is a punk.

A true punk knows that being a punk isnt a uniform its a way of life.

[HelloNurseWink]

That's the slang definition. Spelling forgiven. But lets use that definition of punk when looking at the clash. Lets see how they didn't conform to a part of society, along with all the other "punks" these days shall we?

They all dress the same

They all act the same

The music is all the same

They beat up, and bully people who aren't the same

So, like I said before, punk is dead, and a true punk, who wouldn't conform, would not be a part of "punk" culture today. The Clash are a genre their own.

[99nirvanafan99]

lol the "punks" you know sound like total douche bags.

Punks i know dont bullyor beat on someone who isnt like them nor do they act the same some may dress the same but not all.

[HelloNurseWink]

Okay, well then those people, would not be punks. They would be something completely different. Which is okay. Good even.

[McHorrorshow]

Uhm yes, Rotten sold it.

He's the one living in some villa in LA, not the guys from sham...

[HelloNurseWink]

Sid sold it actually. At least WAY before Rotten.

[McHorrorshow]

Great bloshy yarbollocks to you.

Do you even know what your talking about ?

Sid is a dead junkie, Pursey suffers from korsakov and lives in a caravan and Rotten is promoting guitar hero for fuck's sake...

[GLUEBAGxZACK666]

this shit is wayyyyyyyyyy better than the clash version .

[jesselakerr]

yeah dude more punk!!!

[deadchef]

meh fucking kids

[ImCramped999]

the clash isnt a punk band

[Germ0o]

yes it is

[lac2low4afathoe]

YEAH IT IS

[DEIMUDDABINICH]

YES IT IS !!!

[deadchef]

Respect your roots and read up on the history of where punk comes from, both foreign and domestic before you say things that make you sound like a 13 year old emo kid.

[99nirvanafan99]

lmfao the clash is very punk.

more punk then the ramones and sex pistols..

[HelloNurseWink]

The Sex pistols were the ONLY punk band. Joe Strummer was in a pop band called the 101ers (or 101's) before hearing the Sex Pistols and starting a "punk" band.

[99nirvanafan99]

Still there more punk than the sex pistols and ramones.

Ramones and Sex Pistols are soo fuckin over rated.

[HelloNurseWink]

Anything could be more punk than the Ramones. And the over saturation of the ramones and sex pistols is even more proof that PUNK IS DEAD!

[jesselakerr]

what are you a fucking idiot??? the clash is so a punk band, go research it

[jharby62]

No way - best punk song ever: White Minority by Black Flag

[shawry86]

its really not.

[twoyogurtpretzels]

SHAM 69!

[killingthemslowly]

1:23 second.  True punk. Lol I love this song. But I'm not sure if this or the original is better.

[KillRoyalties00]

THIS COVER IS SO MUCH BETTER!!!!

[brookgo]

Are you fucking kidding me? Listen, I like Sham, but you have to be out of your fucking mind in thinking that Jimmy's vocals are even close to Strummers, that Mick Jones' guitar playing isn't 1000 times better than this, and that Simonon's bass isn't 500 times better than this.

[KillRoyalties00]

SHut the fuck up who the fucka re you thats my opinion i bet you 50 fucking bucks you wouldnt say that to my face you fucking cunt fuck the clash

[brookgo]

Are you serious? You're bashing the Clash? Probably the best group of instrumentalists in the Punk era? Sham didn't touch the ferocity, intelligence, or passion of the Clash's original.

[KillRoyalties00]

ferocity???? are YOU fucking serious???

[Johneramone]

i think u will find it was the ramones that started the punk movement first

[brookgo]

Well, first I would go back to Velvet Underground and the Stooges, but I would definitely say the Ramones had a HUGE influence on punk. They "started" the genre much more than the Clash did. But I'll still assert the Clash did it the best.

[HelloNurseWink]

The Clash were the best thing to come out of "punk".

But Ramones in NO WAY had anything to do with what punk truly was.

[HelloNurseWink]

Definitely not.

1. It was the Sex Pistols.

2. It was not a movement.

[AnarchistBoy36]

i like this cover better than the clash's orignal.

more energy.

[petarst]

the best punk song ever

Belgrade Calling

[Psychobill93]
