Very nice.
Nice work by Frusciante, too.

Needs more Ellen Foley.
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

It was for Burning London tribute album in the nineties and the makers of the record didn't think it was good enough.

Re: Washington Bullets cover by Flea
Yet that version of London's Burning got on there?

His voice isn't particularly good and he didn't do much with the song, but it's not offensive.
Look, you have to establish context for these things. And I maintain that unless you appreciate the Fall of Constantinople, the Great Fire of London, and Mickey Mantle's fatalist alcoholism, live Freddy makes no sense. If you want to half-ass it, fine, go call Simon Schama to do the appendix.

One of Joe's best Clash vocals for me, I think he was always on a loser choosing that one with the limitations of his voice. Yeah, pretty ordinary.

Yet they let the Indigo Girls' horrific version of Clampdown in?

Hello,
Agree with points above. If I'm going to listen this this, I might as well listen to the superior original. He doesn't take it anywhere.

Very underwhelming though such is the general standard of Clash covers, I am sure I have heard far worse
