the clash-straight to hell

[clotful]

all i can say is pubehammer!



[CahuitaSurf]

one of my favorite songs of all time, makes me cry.

[bongeholeboy]

You're all terrible people! What's wrong with sampling other people's music? Both are great songs!  I personally was brought here by MIA's paper plains. If it wasn't for that song, I never would of known this song existed, but because of her I do now! So why must people cause/create conflicts! ? Just shut up and listen! ;)

[lawnmowinmiggy]

I hope this generation goes straight to hell.

jk not reallly thoughh

[badlybruisedbob]

cool

[kewken56]

I`ve loved the Clash for about 25 years, I`m 33 years old now. , I loved Paper planes too. Why this idiotic generation gap folks?

[thedeadnotsleeping]

psh who is MIA? The menzingers brought me here. The clash is good on their own anyways, never heard this though.

[0flakey1]

"junkiedom usa"clash

"stones and bones" MIA

[Jaime8042]

What paper planes stole that part from the Clash

[daddyofdandb]

yo what pisses me off is people bitch about who uses what beats and from whom you know what everyone does it so stop bitching bout all music sounds good

[Imptheshrimp]

@daddyofdandb Not all music sounds good. Kazumoto Endo - Night Falls on Ikebukuro

[RAMALAMA2001]

MUSIC brought me here, and no doubt MUSIC will take me away..... x

[xXbmxbradXx]

Thumbs up if Alli from CTFxC sent you here :)

[semnvastec2010]

hate the haters!! MIA is MIa and the clash is the clash, don't compare. it's all music

[brentmichael251]

i love cruiseing around on my board and listening to this

[jrosarioz]

@JuanFoxx lol, shut the fuck up and gtfo.

[MajorSangheili]

I like The Clash...but I really don't like this song...

It sounds like IM singing it (tone deaf when I sing, and just a bad voice overall)

[jam1ga]

Joe said he thought "White man in thre Hamersmith Palais" was his best song.(there were so many joe).This is my favorite.Never be anyone like these 4 men again.Im pretty sure about that.

[Ebo117]

@tomelifeisjustonebig You're a brilliant example of why you don't fuck your brothers and sisters.

[tazmon122]

i don't blame MIA for what she did, your gonna sample something, at least sample something good.

[psycho826]

the clash brought me here

[vricchini]

Do you know how John Lennon wrote some of his songs? he was inspired by other artist. He admited he would take other musician lyrics and rewrite them to his own music. Theres nothing wrong with sampling other musicians music it actually shows a great compliment to its originator.

[hamjamnspamalot2]

The legacy of The Clash and all the great bands who wrote original songs should be mandatory as part of a music curriculum, so that there'd be none of this ignorance as to who copied whom. Unfortunately, I don't see that being part of the education system too soon.

[TheProgSound]

so fucking what if MIA brought people here. Maybe NOW they can tell the difference between REAL music / art and the shit they have been spoon fed: The Clash was real. MIA and all them half wit bull shit "samplers" can go straight to hell.

[weezer953]

@TheProgSound Love the Clash...this song is good...but give MIA some props...she took the best part of the song and made a great song. MIA puts on a good show too. Music snobbery is funny...I just don't get why people are always so certain that their tastes are best. Your taste is YOUR TASTE.

[CHAMILLAN1]

@weezer953 i love you! ;) Peace

[ronphlf]

@TheProgSound Yea, I was just listening to the Clash the other day and heard this tune and said WTF? These guys are the real deal!

[IveGotTheNuts]

@TheProgSound Ilike MIA track better. Just like Streat hearts UNDER MY THUMB is better than the Stones. Even Mick said he like streathearts version better.

[vokuvoku]

@TheProgSound In my opinion the Clash wasted the great hook or whatever it's called, it's not featured particularly prominently in the song. MIA is doing the same political music thing right now that the Clash did back in the day. Straight to hell? You should consider going straight to the present instead of mourning the past. Shit - I love "London Calling" and I'm from Eastern Europe - I don't need the particular context to enjoy the melody etc.

[TheProgSound]

@vokuvoku well if you dont know whether or not it is called a "hook" you dont know much about music.....nonetheless "sampling" is the exact same lame ass talentless habit as is using AutoTune and computer magic to fix your inability to create real music. I am not 'mourning' the past. I am lamenting how music listeners have become so lame and lemming like. Im from the States and need to see talent to enjoy the melody otherwise it is like drinking dirty water. Authentic. Original.

[vokuvoku]

@TheProgSound it's not that I don't know about music, it's that I don't know enough English slang mkay. and well shit if you want to "lament" that's your problem to be solved.

[vokuvoku]

@TheProgSound also Jim Jarmusch helpfully distinguished between authenticity and originality, claiming the latter is impossible.

[TheProgSound]

@vokuvoku yes...Jarmusch. The guy who 'wrote' Broken Flowers...one of the most sappy, unoriginal and over rated scripts....anyway I think you are simplifying his statement. Perhaps your comprehension is getting in the way. Once again, there is a big difference between paying homage and trashing someone elses original work via "rapping" and "sampling" and Auto Tune abuse. nuff said

[vokuvoku]

@TheProgSound nuff said indeed, I know a brick wall when I see one

[MrRetardization]

@TheProgSound Mick Jones sampled alot of songs too... 

[TheProgSound]

@MrRetardization That is Mick...not the Clash. There is a big difference in paying an homage vs using a beat/song and rewriting it to suit your purpose to make a buck EX: The Men in Black track by Will Smith. WTF. Is he that talentless that he could not come up with his own shit? Patrice Rushen is now overshadowed by a freakin lazy "rapper'. So maybe some kids may get to Patrices work cuz of this song: most likely not. We get to have youtube discussions about who is better. ugh

[MrBurning2009]

17 dislikes 17 brainless

[ksm1985]

engelbert humperdinck sampled this (1973)

[malkooth]

@ksm1985 Liberace sampled this (1972).

[paperplanesx]

M.I.A did NOT bring me here...I brought myself here.

:)

[darkhinatakun]

why is there not dubstep of this? usually i dont like dubstep pissing on graves, but this beat needs to be recognized.

[awas1980]

@darkhinatakun, because dubstep sucks and is about 5 years DEAD...

[EatTheBass]

@awas1980 really

[ecmakeuppolice]

Um M.I.A. paper planes..... Sound similar or is it just me?

[austinthebookworm5]

@ecmakeuppolice

M.I.A sampled it

[ecmakeuppolice]

@austinthebookworm5 Haha ik. 

[MrSamSauce]

trolled

[tomelifeisjustonebig]

I'm sick of artists stealing other people's work. Where's the originality? I hope MIA sues the pants off The Clash for stealing her song.

[juliocgamino]

@tomelifeisjustonebig U got it backwards. MIA sampled "Straight to Hell"(1982) in her song "Paper Planes"(2007)

[TacquitoTV]

@tomelifeisjustonebig Lol you have it ALL wrong. This was at least 30 years older than Paper Planes. You better hope The Clash sues the pants off M.I.A. for stealing their song.

[kaboozy]

@TacquitoTV You think that's what Joe whould have wanted? Sampling isn't a bad thing man. It isn't stealing.

[Mukahara]

@TacquitoTV she paid them to use it

[Cynthorrpg1]

@tomelifeisjustonebig I don't think that chick from MIAwas even born when The Clash's album Combat Rock came out with this song on it. Before making an assumption perhaps do a tad bit of research first? Just a suggestion.

[pato0231]

@tomelifeisjustonebig is that a joke?

[iloverockyroad1]

@tomelifeisjustonebig thats gotta be a joke to be so far off the truth

[aliansmith]

@tomelifeisjustonebig Do your homework you little fuck

[ronnietg]

@tomelifeisjustonebig Wow. Stay in school maybe take up the fiddle.

[AtOdinsCall]

@tomelifeisjustonebig Good troll.

[tomelifeisjustonebig]

@AtOdinsCall Thank you! ;-p

[kr470s]

@tomelifeisjustonebig so do you think the clash ripped off cypress hill - whats your number when you heard guns of brixton, or have you even heard guns of brixton

[rcradioreal]

@tomelifeisjustonebig ya got it wrong dont blame the clash aka the only band that ever mattered blame M.I.A they used it just be sure your facts are right before you comment it was just a mistake :)

[mattf1sh97]

@tomelifeisjustonebig are you inbred or just fucking retarded?

[austinthebookworm5]

@tomelifeisjustonebig

lol fail

[tomelifeisjustonebig]

@austinthebookworm5 lol fail

[austinthebookworm5]

@tomelifeisjustonebig

lol fail

[jaqua524]

@tomelifeisjustonebig you gotta be trolling

[EatTheBass]

@tomelifeisjustonebig what an idiot

[MrScottLi]

FLY LIKE PAPER GET HIGH LIKE planes

[NiceGuy1130]

@MrScottLi No

[fredolepopo]

The 16 pple who don't like this masterpiece should go ... STRAIGHT TO HELL, bitches!

[LucyyxLillian95]

Ha, my physics teacher brought me here :')

[cesiface]

M.I.A.'s Paper Planes brought me here!

[loudrockacdc]

This song is really hypnotizing, and so awesome.

[333Chrome]

i know its wrong, but my brother convinced be this is the song punks listen on x'mas

[KnittaMortis]

I like this song so much. It's my lullaby today!

[Pacmanknapp24]

It's about Amerasian kids orphaned by the war, or rejected by their culture, because mom banged a GI. Empty promises of GIs to take women home, and leaving a legacy of neglect. Brilliant song, kinda catchy, and has some minor emotional purpose

[chokingvictim956]

@Pacmanknapp24 The Clash was a fkn brilliant band eh!?

[iwantcompletecontrol]

@Pacmanknapp24 Not just about Vietnamese kids rejected by their American fathers, but also immigrants trying to integrate into British society and being rejected, as well as immigrants (Puerto Ricans) trying to integrate into American society and being rejected, and immigrants all over the world being rejected... I think I sense a theme here lol

[fredolepopo]

@Pacmanknapp24 Je pense plutôt que les GI les ont violées ouais!

[kurt771965]

mojo, san miguel & ho' es...good times , in the PI.

[andyholmes121]

whos the person who covered this song recently?

[dualityofmen22]

@andyholmes121 MIA

[dualityofmen22]

@andyholmes121 rather ripped the dub and sampled it in their track, go look @ paper airplanes ... honestly I can't hate on it... if the clash really put out that good of a dub, then it deserves to be used in whomever music they wish.

[GreenFireflyGirl]

@andyholmes121 you might be thinking of the Lily Allen cover, she did a not too bad job, but nothing beats the original.  As to MIA sampling the riff... can you blame them? I hope a lot more Clash songs get sampled...

[mhuki]

how can anyone dislike this song ?

[YouSuckReallahBad]

I've been listening to the clash since i was little....

[memestarhh]

mia SMASHED this even better:')♥
