The Clash “London Calling” isolated bass ????????

Changing the beat changes the genre! Imagine "London Calling" if Paul Simonon & Mick Jones played with Bob Marley's drummer Carly Barrett laying down a one drop beat...suddenly it's The Police?! ???? On the latest One Song Fred Armisen joins us to discuss The Clash’s "London Calling." The band's love for (and many forays into) Jamaican music - reggae, ska, rocksteady and dub - is well documented. For example bassist Paul Simonon has said one of his inspirations was Leroy Sibbles, legendary Studio One session bassist/songwriter & vocalist for The Heptones. The Clash’s reggae influences become more clear when you replace Topper Headon’s swingin’ 12/8 beat with a JA-inspired one drop (i.e. no kick on the downbeat, as we discussed on our Bob Marley “Jammin’” episode last year) ???????? on the latest One Song podcast Fred Armisen helps Diallo & I break down the stems & stories behind “London Calling” by The Clash #theclash #bassguitarist #paulsimonon #reggae #studioone
