The Clash observations thread.
Re: The Clash observations thread.
Speaking of LitS, heard Ben Folds' version of it the other week. I'm sure you've all heard it but it was new on me, loved the musical arrangement of it. Hate, and with a fucking passion, hate his voice, ruins it.

Re: The Clash observations thread.
sorry BT, but i am absolutely not clicking on a ben folds cover of LiTS.
Not unless he's just arranging it for a william shatner interpretation, anyways.

I don't like the over-emphasised American vocal at all, music is ok.

Why did Paul sing Guns of Brixton live in the manner he did? The studio version has this great quiet menace but he's like a bull in a china shop on the live version. Could never wrap my head around it.

I mean he's yelling it when he performs it live as opposed to the more subdued delivery on record. It could be anything from adrenaline to monitor mix.Heston wrote: ↑24 Apr 2019, 5:57pmPossibly, or coke.

Also, isn't it annoying how he always sang "how you gonna go"?

Agreed..Always find myself skipping 'Guns Of Brixton' when listening to bootlegs
Somebody was trying to tell me that CDs are better than vinyl because they don't have any surface noise. I said, "Listen, mate, "life" has surface noise."
