Green Day-I Fought The Law

[Junkpunker21]

Both bands took a step further from their roots. They should both deserve the respect they have from their respective homes. Neither were sell-outs.

[DylanMacleod72]

love this!!

[GreenDayGirl995LoL]

GREEN DAY AND THE CLASH ROCKS♥

[FalloutSammy]

@TheMrJurand I'd tell you how much of an idiot you are, but I guess you already know... ;)

[thearmstrongbitch]

Best version. Second time I've used greenday for my music homework:)

[UkProGamerz]

best version of the song ever

[huezitocsm]

giles culiaos se echaron el pulento tema de los clash weon, que wea se creen wn... asco weon ASCO

[NotComingOutProd]

@TheMrJurand actually, Sonny Curtis and The Crickets are the owner of this song...

[k1ssinger]

@NotComingOutProd Actually, it's The Clash's now, in the same way that All Along the Watchtower is Hendrix's now, not Dylans.

[mrmrmrwatermellon]

Nice cover, Greenday...

[hatgirl24]

is it too bad if i prefer this than the original? :))))

[tsubasanikawaru]

hey, i found a bug, there a "dislike" button XD

[TheMrJurand]

The Clash is owner of this song, childrens..

[jimmyfeitelberg]

@TheMrJurand Both are good, but the clash version is a cover as well...

[tomandz4]

@TheMrJurand No there not, the Crickets wrote this song.

[cerenthekoala]

@TheMrJurand No they don't. The Crickets do.

[Jonny4World]

@TheMrJurand Im a kid and i knew that -.-

[thechannelinsane]

@TheMrJurand the crickets wrote this song in 1959 the clash popularised it in the 70's then a bunch of fags who call themselves green day think they're the dogs bollocks for unearthing these old classics and playing them to millions of clueless people

[Olekrok]

@TheMrJurand sonny curtis of the crickets wrote the song in 1959, so yeah, he is the owner. kid, get your googling right

[eoinkellyis]

@TheMrJurand no it's not. It was by The Crickets, then Bobby Fuller Four. Then the Clash.

[Umedark]

@TheMrJurand ummmm....no........bobby fuller is.

[DerGrueneBaron]

@TheMrJurand no its written by Sonny Curtis of The Crickets

[DerGrueneBaron]

@TheMrJurand but the clash cover ist the best version

[MrTomlobban]

@DerGrueneBaron . And you're obviously going to say this is because you're a fucking cunt and I hate you

[DerGrueneBaron]

@MrTomlobban *smilling like a killer*

[abyssalspecter93]

@TheMrJurand Actually it's the Bobby Fuller Four, dumbass.

[khbbsfan1]

@abyssalspecter93 Most definitely owned by Sonny Curtis and The Crickets. Dumbass

[abyssalspecter93]

@khbbsfan1 ;)

[MrNox1ous]

@TheMrJurand and that version sucks...

[Onepretentiousdude]

@TheMrJurand

Uh, no.

[ToxicpunK13]

@Onepretentiousdude Uh, yea you fucking idiot look it up

[Onepretentiousdude]

@ToxicpunK13

Too bad The Clash didn't write this song, it was written by The Crickets. I wouldn't expect a stupid faggot like you to know that though.

[Onepretentiousdude]

@TheMrJurand

The crickets wrote this song you pathetic piece of shit, not The Clash. How fucking stupid can you get?

[SGTHECoDGAMER]

I have always loved Green Day! I LOVE YOU GD, YOU'RE FREAKING AWESOME!!!!! BEST BAND EVER!!!

[MH5tube]

Green Day isn't amazing. But they sure as hell don't suck.

[b0eckhout]

@Steveissosteve stop saying there bad cause

1 there better than you will ever be

2 we know there great

3 go watch vids you like or cancel your youtube account.

And ure an asshole!

[BehondLimit]

The Clash Version is much better , it has more rhythm & punch . The Green Day version is weaken out by a faster tempo, it sound like they playing the song in a hurry .

[GX275]

This song is bether in game battlefiled vietnam

[dturner5923]

Wow ! the drummer mis really quick !!!! Kudos to the uploader !! and I am forever to my kids for turning me onto GREEN  DAY !!!

[ministoddard]

[BillieArrmstrong]

freaking awesome



[TheTomatenfisch]

two words are more than enough: Joe Strummer!

[hillmanhuskey1970]

this song was on the ashes to ashes series wasnt it

[mauri62theboss]

molto buono anche se è la prima volta che lo visiono comunque trattasi di puro rock

[GreenDayPunk1212]

Justin Bieber: The gods send me down here to sing

Green Day: No, we didn't.

[xXashtonXx8885]

@GreenDayPunk1212 ahaha i needed a laugh for the day, and for that i thank you :D

[OropherThranduil]

@GreenDayPunk1212

the conversation goes on:

and so Johnny Rotten speaketh: "So there we are fending off all that and it pisses me off that years later a wank outfit like Green Day hop in and nick all that and attach it to themselves. They didn't earn their wings to do that and if they were true punk they wouldn't look anything like they do."

[jlster1000]

fuck off with the hate on Green Day. Try and make some music as good as them. Oh wait. You can't.

[jlster1000]

@steveissosteve leave greenday alone. Watch video's you like, you obviously love Green Day if you watch everyone of their videos.-.-

[swierzb1]

FUCK YOU ALL green day rules! Oi!

[TheSMPM]

@swierzb1 damn right they rule, 

[wtfharmonica]

i feel that the clash did this song the best. greendays version is better alot better than the dead kinnedeys though.

[YouNeverWere]

@wtfharmonica *Green Day's *Dead Kennedys

[shelloz09]

1,094 people have opinions...and I don't give a fuck.

[brunogonz86]

lets stop cursing steve hes a lonely jackass who keeps saying the same thing: Green day sucks dick, GD fans are faggots, kiss my ass GD fans... so let this jackass alone and enjoy the best band in the world!

[steveissosteve]

@brunogonz86 You have no taste and are ignorant IMHO!!

[lowgunkai]

Songs are ment to be ruined. That's why MCR butchered a Bob Dylan song. If you don't like Green Day's cover of (not The Clash) a Crickets' tune, don't listen to it.

[4hd1]

GREEN DAY, when i hear green day song i always happy

[Thecodi55]

Glad to see everyone is still beating this dead horse..... no one 'wins'. MY VOTE IS IN FOR BOTH CAUSE THEY EACH REPRESENT THIER OWN INTERPERATATION AND THANK GOD FOR MAKING IT INTERESTING...NOT A ROBOT VERSION OF WHATVER CAME BEFORE!! (Strummer was definatley on to something-go figure! MerryChristmas All my happy haters..HeHe

[steveissosteve]

Green Day are a bunch of picle smoking fag boys that don't deserve to get compared to any band! Even boy bands rock more than Queens for a day Green Day! The only musical sound they ever made was the thudding of big balls slapping their asses!!!

[brunogonz86]

@steveissosteve you again, mas, get a girlfriend (or boyfriend) for christ sake`s. every green day vid i see your comments. start watching vids that you like and comment in then you fuck

[steveissosteve]

@brunogonz86 Shut up jackass it's my opinion and like assholes everyones got one but apparently I've got a bunch of GD fans for assholes too!!!

[TheSMPM]

@steveissosteve why post negative comments on a green day video, get ur fuckin head examined

[steveissosteve]

@TheSMPM My opinion I'll say what I like and if you don't like it fuck you!!!

[TheSMPM]

@steveissosteve fuck yer mum

[steveissosteve]

@TheSMPM Fuck your mum's bum you dumb bum and cum on her tongue!!!!

[Evahidalgo1997]

I do not care that Green Day is not clear that the old em like it to be the same as before but we should be happy to continue playing and enjoy making each of his fans that we are becoming more. GREEN DAY FOREVER <3

[aEVILsmurf]

@ aldertc

WHAT?! the clash was amazing!!!!! This was already a great song! The ramones, the clash, and the sex pistols were all amazing! Green day is good but sucks compared to those 3 bands

[adlertc]

The Clash sucks!!! Green Day took an awful song and rocked it! GD teaches jurassic punk bands how to rock the right way!!!

[s0nic777]

@adlertc

Bullshit.

[steveissosteve]

Green Day Sucks and disgrace this classic song!!!!

[IamSoPraw]

@steveissosteve Hahahaha, you are joking right?

[MID3TTRIPOD3]

He is so against them while he listends to rap and fucking artifical dubstep. They say they have good taste in music and i can say my one friend who doesnt listen to dubstep does but doesbt like green day when they're one of these few bands of today who do musoc becausr they truely love it and speak whats on their fucking minds and wont do something just because the fucking record company wants them to. It just is a mind fuck!

[MID3TTRIPOD3]

I take a lot of shit from my friends and others for being a Green Day fan, and i have know idea why. My friends don't hate them for the usual reasons either like saying they're sell outs or they use to be fans and now they say their new stuff sucks they just plain out despise them. It truely puzzles me because one of them says all they sing about is being trapt in suberbia while he complains about having nothing to do on a Sunday and my other friend i have no clue as to why he is so against the

[TheDeadKeepRising]

What a song amazing

[2497moe]

''no man can eat 12 eggs''-tre cool

[jerohum]

Muy buen cover adoro mas su version *¬*!

[blueandpurpleful]

The song wasn't originally by The Clash so all of your arguments are invalid.

[MathaKaroleol587]

ehm ich hab was unanständiges entdeckt

[xxCaddi95xx]

I wonder how many people think The Clash or Green Day were the first to do this song. :p

[179MargoinsManinget4]

hmz Tell me your fantasies

[212DP]

Green Day ruined this song. The Clash is where it's at.

[DrVic7]

@212DP

why?

[ElodiaElbarl32]

ehm is ja cool

[TheDoug1892]

The Clash for me...

[dinobubbles]

fuckkkkk....billies hot

[inbloom490]

This is a really good cover!! Green day should do some more clash-covers..

[cabooseroks1]

I prefer the clash version of this cover song and dead kennedys, this one is not too bad. It sounds better live than the recorded version. The recorded version just has no edge to it and sounds monotone. But this sounds alot better

[musclepieformybaby]

i fought the law and i w.... wait .... law won?

[WizardTaco123]

"Whether it’s jazz or punk or anything else, you have to fight against the purists who want to narrow the definition. That’s what kills music because it stifles it to death." - Joe Strummer

[mama73250]

@WizardTaco123 Listen God's voice.

[Probot2000X]

lol green day doing covering the great clash song pfft!!! just like Avenged sevendfold covered pantera walk song totally killed it boo!!!

[WizardTaco123]

@Probot2000X The Clash didn't write this song. It was originally written by Sonny Curtis of The Crickets.

[sandyrow100]

@WizardTaco123 and recorded by them, a great version

[Strych9TwitchS9T]

Awesome fucking cover

[ThaUnpronounceable]

@TvForAwesomePeople haha, that has to be one of the best reactions I have seen on youtube.

[BulahYasminjg354]

hm uk rules

[loveandlaughter1000]

I don´t care whether cover or not or punk or not or good or not or gay or not or male or female or out of space - love it. Period.

[TheJasob]

I decided to burn a lot of calories today, so I set a fat kid on fire...

I fought the law..

[RosieB8916]

god this is weak, its just a fucking testament to how NOT punk green day are.

[1biggoose]

@RosieB8916 Wow Green Day makes a cover to praise a classic and The Clash fans tear it down? What kind of fans are you really? Green Day was not trying to out-do this amazing punk band in any way.

[BlakOktobure]

@1biggoose It's funny.. This song isn't even by The Clash, it's by The Crickets..

[TheSMPM]

@1biggoose same when they covered My Generation by The Who, it was in respect and not a piss take

[StJimmy501]

@RosieB8916 fuck you

[RosieB8916]

you fought the law? no you made a cover of a classic and failed.

[WizardTaco123]

@RosieB8916 “I’m into all the new punk. I like to hear Green Day on the radio. It’s a lot better than the other shit they play in England, let me tell you that." - Joe Strummer

[Guitar1234Lover]

Thanks

[Guitar1234Lover]

Green Day if you are reading this which you probable aren't but I think no I know u are the best band ever I have so much respect for you guys and anyone who thinks that Green Day is stupid or gay go and listen to your JUSTIN BEVER crap just go get a taste in music jerks GREEN DAY YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!!!!!! And when I get older I will tell my kids how great you guys are my dream is to be famous just like you guys and if I am one day you would have been big part of my inspiration if u read this t

[MarisLeonfa447]

hm tell me your fantasies, spare no details and let's have a good time

[theExplOIted546]

fuck, a fake punk, crap pop band like green day has NO FUCKING BUSINESS covering a Clash song, green day, get the fuck out u fucking wanna be punks

[kildare97]

@theExplOIted546 Um the clash covered it aswell.

But yeah the clash were so much better my ears nearly bled hearing this

[WizardTaco123]

@theExplOIted546 haha this isn't even an original Clash song! They covered this song as well! Sorry mr. punk police, "‘I will always believe in punk-rock, because it’s about creating something for yourself. Part of it was: ‘Stop being a sap! Lift your head up and see what is really going on in the political, social and religious situations, and try and see through all the smoke screens."- Joe strummer. Joe even said he liked Green Day. Seriously, man get your head out of your ass

[MrMichaelbo999]

THE CLASH

[Hot293wildcat]

@MrMichaelbo999

and Buddy Holly

[tommy6469]

@TvForAwesomePeople u mad bro?

[TheFourStringBassist]

@WHAC420 hey retard if your gonna insult a band maybe you should find a song they actually wrote this is a cover of the song i fought the law from the crickets writen in 1959

[pghjan1]

@TheFourStringBassist

Actually the Bobby Fuller Five.

[MrMichaelbo999]

@WHAC420 YOU SUCK YOU BUTTHOLE, IF YOU HATE GREEN DAY YOUR HATING 99.99999999999% OF THE POPULATION THAT LOVE GREEN DAY. YOU SUCK

[Bearinthewoods88]

@MrMichaelbo999 I'm confused, are you saying that 99.999999999% of the population likes Green Day, or that he hates 99.9999999% of the people who like Green Day? Besides that one can like people who like something else without sharing a common interest. I for one think it is inhumane to eat animals, but have friends who are omnivores.

[asgfasgagtasgewt91]

@WHAC420 i will kill u wherever u are u litle peace of crap 9 year old fag hwo i bet is fat and has no girlfriend or will never have cose he is gay and a looser so thats why u are commenting this

[alexlordcool]

Dirtier than fingering your Sister and finding your Dad's wedding ring inside.

[coolestcat8]

@alexlordcool this isn't dubstep fool

[ogdroadsong]

this isn't just a cover of the song it's a cover of the Clash's version of the song, as such it's not half bad either but it's a shame some numbnuts are arguing that it's better than The Clash. No, it's an adequate tribute to The Clash but anyone who'd think it better than the masters wouldn't know shit from champagne.

[cpj93070]

FUCKING green day man they have even now nicked the clash song "last gang in town" now for there new album WTF don't ever touch a clash song you pop bastards.

[pjvn5]

@cpj93070 lol to bad it was a cover by clash also. this song was written and recorded by another band originally in 1956 and yes i like Clashs version and Green Days version but calm down man ain't like they stole it from Clash when Clash stole it too, so they both made money off someone else's song.

[cpj93070]

@pjvn5 first i already knew about i fought the law second the clash never sold out ulike green day doing pop music since the early 90s you didn't see the clash doing soft pop did you?

[mitchellguittar10]

pause the video at 2:22 she and her friend are hot

[GeoNicHol]

OMG TRE'S HAIR !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Attractplus]

Am the biggest believer in law of attraction :)))

[Dark0neone]

If you want to blame somebody, blame Nirvana for mixing punk with pop.

[Thecodi55]

@Dark0neone

Your right! They changed everyting..I loved them and all music morphs into new and different subtle sounds extracted from combinations of new discoveries and experiments. That's what keep it interesting and fun. And you aren't expected to love it all!

[Dark0neone]

@Thecodi55 True story.

[xXrfCdaViDXx]

The Clash helped make punk , greenday are ruining it.

[manateegirl1]

@xXrfCdaViDXx How in hell are they "ruining" punk? Why do you say that? Is it because they're "mainstream"? Or maybe because they get to make a living doing what they love and they're pretty damn good at it? They don't use punk as an image to sell. They play these songs because they love and respect them. Assholes like you flame Green Day fans to compensate for their or their boyfreind's tiny dick, or lack thereof.

[ferdaable]

Green day is better than the clash!

[jhayson42]

@ferdaable who told you man? get lost....

[ferdaable]

Green day es mejor que the clash!

[1archieman]

Fuck you clash

[Portenoir3]

Me cago en esta cancion!

[arisoeoeoe13]

ΘΑΝΑΤΟΣ ΔΙΑ ΛΙΘΟΒΟΛΙΣΜΟΥ, όχι τώρα, ΤΏΡΑ.

[EPerfect97]

trè shouldnt have cut his hair

[kellymachin]

This song was written by a member of The Crickets as in Buddy Holly and the Crickets !

[TheJohndoe63]

no one sings a clash song like joe strummer..give it up billy joe..............

[Devilstorm30]

@TheJohndoe63

Billie has better voice...

[jkjkjkish]

nowhere fucking near the clash, joe strummer's voice is way better it's raw and full of emotion. i'm a green day fan too but thier new stuff is shit thier old stuff is where it's at.

[PlayBallSports]

He was kicked off for his pants being too big. SW has since apoogized for the incident. No research and low IQ makes some YOUTUBE users sound unintelligent.

[BeckiBarbrafm892]

so I` m a sweet sesy doll, who is not just all about the looks

[TrannsylvanianAngel]

Who cares!? Both the Clash and Green day are great bands,and this version of this song is good.

[jaqua524]
