+M3RK “action” CHAOS They didn't say that was the original...they said The Clash version was their favorite. Try reading what they wrote before calling them out on it, cause it make you look like the dumb one, and a jackass
This song has been going long before the Clash were around so you can't really hate on Green Day for covering it, lots of bands have its just a great song and every band has done it well
This all gets back to the great Buddy Holly, who Bobby Fuller idolized. Clash version is good so is the cut by Sam Neely but nobody touches the original.
if i read it right..this song was written by Sonny Curtis of the group The Crickets but it was popularized by the group Bobby Fuller Four back in late 50's and early 60's.
+TheEpicMonkyman5 i don't know why green day covered this song, it gets covered way too much as it is the bobby fuller four then the crickets the clash green day and probably a dozen more if you search.
since when is there a limit on how many times a song can be covered? what's 'way too much'? I imagine Green Day were trying to connect themselves with the original punk movement through the Clash version (the most well known, while not by any means the best version) and the Dead Kennedys one. I agree with you that musically it's a bit pointless, but if you like the song, and you like Green Day's punk pop sound, it's another good cover.

StayingCreativeForever his profile picture isn't racist. The first picture is the "Don't tread on me" flag which is a common symbol of American freedom. The snake stands to say that you shouldn't take advantage of America or they will strike. Just like the British did with the Townsend acts, tea acts, and the intolerable acts. It is a symbol that stood as American freedom and a rallying call for the country that you now stand in. Of course if you think that flag is racist than you might as well assume the rest of American history is racist. Or Am I wrong? The second flag or "The confederate battle flag", " the Dixie flag", or the "rebel flag". First off many people confuse it with the stars and bars flag which was the first national flag of the CSA. Many people think that it represents slavery, racism, and all that other stuff. The answer to that is there are different sides. Sure you can argue with emotion but logic is so much more better. The historical side of the matter is when President Abraham Lincoln was elected he campaign against slavery many Southern Stated did not like that. Slaves were essential to the economy of the States. Without Slaves the states would fall in ruin. When he was elected Seven States succeeded or "left" the United States. The reasons for them leaving was an "anti slavery rebellion", it was the "states right" to control their economy, etc not the federal government. Though the confederate army lost the war the flag still symbolizes many things. It symbolized Southern Unity, Southern pride, Southern customs. To others it means slavery, racism, and white supremacy. This flag is no more racist than YOU want to say it is. No matter how much you scream and shout that this flag is racist, only YOU see it that way. OTHERS see it DIFFERENTLY.
......To John Hurt, thanxx so so much!! We get SO TIRED of every glo-worm these days with access to the web saying the "Rebel flag" is racist, (LOL), kinda tough for an object to be anything but an object, etc., it's the orig., official Battle Flag for the state of Tenn., (Just like the American flag was Washington's militia battle flag, etc..) and there's about 4 different versions, to be honest, but thanxx for getting that point across.....Bad enough we have to have reverse racist coward channels like viceland on nowadays, but if anybody ever really truly did research on slavery they'd learn that there were Scottish and British land owners who came here in the mid 1600's with slaves, LONG before "USA" was a thought, and they had profiteers from Portugal and Africa in Navy ships hunting their own people as slaves and bringing them here to sell them ! It's nice to see somebody knows the symbolism on the American flag and what it means !! Chef David , Fri., 7/14/17, 1:56a.m..............///////

Green day's version kicks ass, I love it. Billie has a voice that can sing anything and still make it sound Awesome As Fuck! XX
Anonymous 27 I totally agree
Anonymous 27 no the clash version is wayyyy better
Mew2master150 nah mate green days sounds better
Preference isn't it? I grew up on the Clash cover. However, Green Day do a good cover but I prefer the Clash cover as it is the one I grew up with.
@@sethclark6593 I’ll be honest. I prefer both versions.
Honestly, I've listened to several different versions and covers of this song, and Green Day does it the best.
I don't care what anyone says; this will always be my favorite version of this song.
Agree
This is the best thing I have ever heard in my entire life. The Clash and Green Day. My life has changed for ever.
then you need to check out the Crickets

Green Day is probably the best band out there. Their songs speak the truth that no one wants /spoken/ to them, which makes them awesome
But they did not write any of it
This song is my favorite song ever. It's not as good as the clash's version, but it is great.
What the heck are you saying..
Play this over the loudspeakers in a prison XD

I’m singing this for my school talent show
How'd It go?
this is from the crickets,then bobby fuller covered it,then clash covered it,then green day did,clash is the best
It's been 3 years, how did it go

Great cover of a classic song.

Both versions are of equal awesomeness! I love both just as much as the other, it's not that hard
Very good cover song!The Clash would be proud.🤘👍🏻
It's not even The Clash's original song
I FOUGHT THE LAW AND LAW WON!
Green Day I hope will always be timeless
The Clash was one of Green Day's biggest inspirations, so they have every right to play this song. :)

This song has been going long before the Clash were around so you can't really hate on Green Day for covering it, lots of bands have its just a great song and every band has done it well
This all gets back to the great Buddy Holly, who Bobby Fuller idolized. Clash version is good so is the cut by Sam Neely but nobody touches the original.
sadly, it was recorded just after his death and it doesn't feature his voice or guitar
How come ive never heard this? I mean, its just so great.

SinfulSweetie I concur! :D
I'm with ya bro... I'm with ya....
This version is good, I still like the Clash one better
How?
Skyler Sanders What do you mean how? Are they supposed to say exactly why? That's just their opinion, consequently, it's mine too
Crickets is my favorite, Clash close second
Awesome cover!
because so many bands covered this song, i dont know who originally sang it
if i read it right..this song was written by Sonny Curtis of the group The Crickets but it was popularized by the group Bobby Fuller Four back in late 50's and early 60's.
Wikipedia says it was recorded after Buddy Holly's death early 1959 and released late 1960.
The difference between Green Day's version and Dead Kennedy's....both amazing by the way :D
When I fought the law, I didn't win :(
Favorite song
I Fought Instagram's Guidelines and Instagram's Guidelines won... I posted a WWE 2K19 Trailer.
@RickeySnake so crash also did the cover? I thought crash was the first ones with this songs. thanks for the education!
I like this version but I have to be honest
the clash 's version is 10 times better.
I like the green day version because they say the chorus more than the clash and that's my favorite part
+Lilly Ward Bryan Adams versions kicks all the others asses in my opinion

Sadly, I feel the same. Sorry Billie.
This song is awesome

Not bad this version, but i think the best version was made by the clash
the best version is the original by bobby fuller 4
Brent Pawlowicz Bobby Fuller Four version wasn't the original, it was a cover. The Crickets made the original.
StonedRockz Sonny Curtis actually.
Agreed!
Lucarnosky1 agreed. Furthermore the Clash were better songwriters than Greenday.
what album is this off of? like the song
i fought the law and the law won not I fought the law and law won
I am linking a FB comment about Bernie Madoff to this. I know he dint use a six gun, but the point is made.

I disagree. Everyone has favorites. You can admire and like one but you can also like one more than the other
But where's the fun in that
