Calling BAD Experts E=MC2 Question

[101Walterton]

Anyone know when Mick actually wrote this song ???

I think Billy Joel wrote it.

[Heston]

I'd guess 1985, it would probably have been played on the '84 dates if it had been written by then.

Wasn't played in '84 per the few known live tracklists from that year.

Of course, if that was written during the T.R.A.C. Mick-Topper proto-lineup it could still predate the album sessions. It's not known totally what they had in the repertoire back then because a lot of the songs were dropped when the final lineup was settled.

I was wondering ( for a reason ) whether this was a left over Clash song or one that Mick had or was working on ??

I think Billy Joel wrote it.

I was thinking Einstein wrote it.

[Heston]

Isn't it just a rewrite of Baggy Trouser by Madness?

Strip off the sampling, drum machines, synths or anything else that isnt a guitar and real drum. Add Joes rhythmn guitar and play it back to back with Know Your Rights. Not saying its the same song but certainly could have been a Clash song.

Can't see it myself....

I think you're listening to too much Coldplay, it's dulling your senses.

As far as I can remember, coming from TeddyB a long time ago, e=mc2 was a BAD, not TRAC tune... The ones dating from the oldest tunes on TIBAD being Bottom line, Sony and sudden impact, in addition to the ones that never made it (Strike, Nation, james Pond, Keep off the grass etc.)

Real Westway ?

I was wondering ( for a reason )

Are you making a fantasy Clash album?

[Dirty Harry]

I remember hearing E=Mc2 for the first time and being mighty pissed off that it wasn't a Clash song, After 'Combat Rock' this could have been the direction the clash would go to next
