@Newt0rz Maybe playing for 4 hours ;) it's Paul Simonon, he's the bassist, not the singer of band. He always sings this song (he wrote it and he sang it on the album, too). And who cares if he's not very good at singing? I know I don't :)
@Newt0rz It's called a shy bass player who's not a good singer... And it's a punk band so it doesn't really matter... lyrics are more far important than the singing
It would be the oppressive minded politicians & law enforcement officials (like that of 1978 Brixton) that would dislike this brilliant piece of music.
It's really cool because Joe Strummer and Paul Simonon would switch instruments. Paul didnt feel comfortable singing the song and playing the bass line.
@zougras Yea Tim Armstrong from rancid featured in there video "whats your name/number" And seeing as how Joe Strummer was one of tims biggest inspirations it gave him a chance to play it even if it was for a complete different genre/song lol Though lets face it - Guns of Brixton can never be beaten ;)
Paul whit Joe's guitar:)
