The Clash / Babyshambles - Whats the difference?

[dirtysanta]

well that doesnt really matter does it?

What doesnt. ?????

I would have killed you for saying something like that ten years ago. Now it's "S*M*A*S*H who?".

Which is exactly what Babyshambles fans will be thinking ten (two?) years from now.

I wouldn't have said it ten years ago!

Well, except for the bit about them sounding like the Clash.....

one great bit from a letter to the NME around that time...someone on a bus to a S*M*A*S*H* gig, sitting down the front, when some old punk walks past to get off, leans over and quietly sings 'for Clash get S*M*A*S*H*', a la the instant mash robots. Said youth doesn't bother to get off bus at relevant stop and returns home aware of the sad truth....


Probably bollocks of course, but it amused me.

precisely my point

of course, some bands stay engraved on your heart forever, and go on to legendary status, and i'm not claiming to know for sure who will and who won't.. but babyshambles? i'd place a large bet on that one...

Sounds to me you've onlybheard the first 2 clash albums. When did Bayshambles do anything ....... Sandinista? .

Sandinista could have been the best album it has some crackin tracks but went way to experimental and overboard and ended up as bloated as an Emerson Lake and Palmers record sadly

What, like These Animal Men?

If a bands lead singer dies that doesnt have any real influence on whether or not a band will be successful over time. If people really like babyshambles music and like it 25 years in the future and new people like it, its not going to make any difference if pete or the whole band is dead - is it??

Saying that a death might change their success in terms of bringing more peoples attention to the band but I dont see how a death in a band will effect their long term success?

Unless you meant they wont be making music in 25 years if pete dies?

Aye. Thats the kiddie
