Who else other than Mick Jones could arrange this ancient chestnut into a rock and roll classic? Strummer took this song into the stratosphere with this performance. “Give ‘Em Enough Rope” is so undervalued by Clash fans. I still like the album, warts and all. The live versions of the songs are fantastic. Sandy Pearlman did what he sought after, but the songs were better than he was at the controls.
If there were more Clash fans in the US then this country wouldn’t be in such a fucking mess! Can you imagine a hundred million people with bullshit detectors keen enough to call out the hypocrisy that’s everywhere today?
on that tour the whole backdrop was a patchwork or flags – i saw them that at the Music Machine in Camden…i remember….Topper mixing in the crowd…Joe’s leg a pumping and a total wall of sound …by no means better
I keep coming back to this song
I like it
It’s so raw and just plain incredible
Nope. We’ve got less hair though
The Clash mititciiii!! English civil war è una delle mie preferite
@MrStanleyTweedle really dude i despise 2 say this but it did die,it died back in the late 90s,i no its a sad sad tragity
