Talk:Combat Rock

Single Change
Straight To Hell was released as a single. I know that there is a picture disk release. I believe it was a double A side with Should I Stay or Should I Go (I may be mistaken). I don't know if it was a radio single (probably not), but I know it had a single release.

Ghetto Defendant
Part of the song (the spoken part) sounds like it was taken from a movie or someone big recorded it. Does anyone know anything about it? Yank sox  13:35, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I believe in one of the booklets (possibly in The Clash on Broadway) they mention Allen Ginsberg did it during an improv session. Wikipedia in fact mentions this here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allen_Ginsberg

This picture below at least shows Ginsberg with the band, though it doesn't mention the song specifically.

Eclectic
Since "eclectic" isn't a specific genre, merely a description of their style, I have removed it from the side bar. Jubilee♫ clipman 22:24, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

Kurt Cobain
"Combat Rock was apparently one of the all-time favorite albums of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain."

Is there a source for this? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.105.59.165 (talk) 18:31, 13 November 2011 (UTC)

Walk Evil Talk
There is no citable source anywhere that the track "Walk Evil Talk" is even The Clash, let alone that it was ever intended to be in any way part of Combat Rock or Rat Patrol From Fort Bragg. No one who knows its history, or anyone in the band for that matter, has come forward with details about it. The tracklist for Rat Patrol should be restored to that which is found in a citable source, or at least on the majority of pre-"MP3 era" bootlegs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.82.85.13 (talk) 00:55, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

WikiProject Albums Importance
Shouldn't this album be listed under top importance? As the article says, it was their top selling album and a highly influential at that. Semancion (talk) 09:39, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

Cleanup
Hello there! I've been WP:BOLD and performed a cleanup, however a few bits could use improved referencing. The track list for Fort Bragg, for example, is unreferenced, as are most of the album personnel and additional musicians. Some individual statements need also be cited accordingly. Most of the big stuff has been taken care of. I removed unreferenced paragraphs dating to a few years ago; citation needed templates ran their course and I had to be drastic. The good news is I found references for most of the other sections, and I added about 10-15. Let me know if you have any comments. Regards, FoCuS contribs ;  talk to me!  18:28, 12 August 2015 (UTC)

HIGHEST CERTIFICATION IN THE US (GOLD AND 2xPLATINUM)
why there is both GOLD AND 2XPLATINUM as certification in the USA

GOLD - RIAA USA is not necessarily as the highest certified number has been taken here

i will delete the hint with GOLD because it did not only reach GOLD but 2xPLATINUM, THIS is the highest certification of this album in the us — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.113.99.112 (talk) 08:50, 29 May 2016 (UTC)
