Any thoughts? (and remove the X too, duh) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Special K 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2005 I've heard it on the local indie radio. It's pretty decent. I've never heard a Clash song covered that sounded as good as the original to me, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Edwin MacPhisto 0 Report post Posted July 14, 2005 The best Clash cover I've ever heard is the Afghan Whigs' take on "Lost in the Supermarket," which is the rare cover version that actually does more than just copy the original. Really cool reinvention. The worst Clash cover I've heard has got to be that painfully dull Social Distortion take on "Death and Glory." How you make the Clash boring is a mystery to me, but damned if those guys didn't pull it off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
