Green Day - I Fough The Law @Live Unplugged

[stujb]

I think they should cover The Dead Kennedys - Holiday in Cambodia

[chris981995]

@1990GreenDay2009 actually the original was done by sonny curtis and the crickets, but Bobby Fuller made the more popular version

[stylerz00r]

This cover is good, every band has their own style, Green Day made this song in their style and it`s fucking good as always, but yeah, nothing can`t beat The Clash, just watch them on the stage, so much energy and rage, FUCK YEAH!

[katherineboard16]

@fisharecoming Cave walls? fuck that im Catholic. We believe jesus played the banjo

[MrMartinoo1]

SEX PISTOLS VERSION!



[BeaJoeArmstrong]

no man . . . that's a cover from The Clash .

[GaryDPGreenday]

Green Day has skills <'3333333

[liverpoolbayern1]

Everything GD touched turned into gold:)

[creapyninja7724]

billie joe:huh? whats that?....shout? *voice trails off* ya know you make me wanna shout...

[lilmisspunkhere]

i have seen a tribute group to the clash and i thaught they did a good cover of this song but wow greenday just blew the rateing scale this is a amazing cover!! :D

[cliptoclap]

americans suck in all british covers



[box6556]

@cliptoclap We really do

[box6556]

@cliptoclap We really do, but this one's good...

[Eegasm]

sounds like Paul Wella

[longrockwoman]

Bobby Fuller did it long before the Clash ever did, kudos to Billie Jo for giving him credit.

[Annee408]

yeah :D

[collareddove7]

unplugged? o: I think not!

great song though ;)

[bwertz32]

@MrPoolalala They grew up the topics they sing about changed. they don't just sit around blaze all day. they talk about the government, Bush, and all the CURRENT things wrong with society. They 're definitely not pop, either.

[fisharecoming]

@bwertz32 thier also a bunch of hypocrites they destroyed bush but wont touch obama for following basically the same policies go figure. real informed. im sure they have a full grasp of politics. morons.

[bwertz32]

@fisharecoming dude you like The Ramones(One of Green Day's biggest influences) douchebag.

[fisharecoming]

@bwertz32 green day as in green day today. there music shows no trace of the ramones. greenday back in the 90s did and thats the greenday i like. but aside from that. where ur idiocy shines is fall out boy was influenced by greenday... metro station was influenced by blink182 who was influenced by greenday. i dont like fob or metro station. most rock can be traced to elvis. all music can be traced throu influence to banging on cave walls. and i sir, am not a fan of banging on cave walls.

[MrPoolalala]

about 12 yrs ago when i was only 16 i was fortunate enuf to have a drink with billyjoe and tre cool in a pub in dublin they were really cool guys spent about an hour chatting and they got the rounds in, that was back when it was about the music what the fuck happened i mean yeah still put out great albums and love the new sound but theyre just a money makin machine these days a f**ckin pop band

[NightmareContinues]

How is this Unplugged?

[theshadowofafigure]

[emofun21295]

im a big fan of green day and the clash.. but i do have to say, altough this is a good cover.. the clash did it better and green day would agree.. they dream about being the clash and regard them highly... only people as arrogant as the beatles would claim something so stupid

[NinjaPoohtan]

lol the Green Days version is really, but the clash's version is well... amazing, legendary, dont think i am teasing Green Day, but seriously, The Clash's version is legendary

[287Striker]

awesome version, should be theirs!

GD RULE!!!!!!!

[JCraigers]

i love green day but no way dude, the clash pwns.

[PKNproductions]

while i agree with the philosophy of "the original is always best"

i have to admit, green day is able to play this song much tighter than the Clash could.

but there is a certain type of energy thats missing when its a different band playing it.

[DEFGI]

@PKNproductions Yeah, although it's a punk band covering a song a pounk band covered, the Green Day version doesn't have the same energy or...coolness I guess as The Clash's version

[miltenmage]

@PKNproductions The Clash made a cover of this song too ... It wasn't their song

[PKNproductions]

@miltenmage fml i just remember that! haha how stupid of me. It was the Crickets, right?

[marcus14021995]

:) awsum song love green day:)

[Sokker001]

whats up with tre's hair??

[Aivarthecool]

Haven't like 100 other people already covered it? btw i don't think the clash did the original... GREEN DAY FTW

[Sokker001]

@Aivarthecool yeah alot of other people had cover this song but its still not the most covered song the most covered is Yesterday by the beatles,,,,and the clash didn't do the original

[Shenanigans07]

Somtimes in life people have different opinions . But other times people are just plain fucking stupid! No one can possibly say this is better than the Clash's version. Green Day are my favourite band, don't get me wrong. But Billie Joe doesn't even have half the soul and passion Joe Strummer had. If you think or say otherwise, you're either a teenie, an American, or just retarded. Then again, the latter two go hand-in-hand

[idkfobyo]

I like this song too, its great that green day played it, GD ROCKS!

[TheSamsonite0909]

Their version is good but not as good as the version the clash did

[sequelofmarina]

I adore the clash, but i love green day more, and I like this cover more than the original :) ! ! !

[kvserizhere]

I love green Day more,

But you really CANT like or think it;s better.

[21pandarox21]

gdoggiedizzle Green Day is more better they are real punk in all kind of music styles and Green Day lyrics are master peicce so fuck off!

[cocunut200]

lyric legendsssss

i agree totally

[RockPlainNSimple]

a) No way this shit's definitely not unplugged.

b) Greenday's way better than clash

[AvrilPaws]

Unplugged? I thought it's supposed to be acoustic, if it's unplugged?

[133spartan117]

the gday versions better

[laxdude303]

@133spartan117 ya if your high. i mean its a great cover but The Clash will always be better

[25j75]

@laxdude303 idiot green day kills the clash

[TEcsWolf]

@133spartan117

Nah, the original version of I Fought the Law is better. Green Day did an amazing job on the cover though.

[manufourlyf]

@133spartan117 Nooo!!!

[hardyfication360]

YOU FORGOT THE T IN FOUGHT! IN THE TITLE lol

[JbHa82]

maybe just the show is called Unplugged ?? idkk :/

[ichiban332]

Green Day should own this song they do it better then the clash :D

[CptCarvalho]

@ichiban332 u dont know real punk

[MrWeedMachine]

@ichiban332 -_-' Its not , not better then the clash thoo .

[ADTNMusic]

@ichiban332 No it isn't The Clash are a million times better then Green Day and I love Green Day but dont ever say such a dumb thing

[mrmd12341]

@ichiban332 no they dont fuck u

[3ace13]

@ichiban332 dont hate on the clash they were some ppl tht influenced rock they way they did and if they werent there, there might not have been green day

[BLAZEFIREBLOOD]

@ichiban332 right on

[GarnetGamer]

@ichiban332 clash cover it also

[Slushyyy639]

@ichiban332 no one dose it beter then the clash

[kamenosg13]

@ichiban332 its good but you should never compare the clash to anyone..without clash,punk would practially not exist..

[1990GreenDay2009]

@ichiban332 The Clash don't even own the song. The Clash's was a cover of the original done by the Bobby Fuller Four

[NicoGreenDay95]

unplugged?!!?!?!?

[powertothechord]

this unplugged? where's the acoustic's ?

[Greenday1300]

[GREENDAYSBIGGESTFAN1]
