Big Audio Dynamite - The Globe

[@aprilhatfield6148]

I was 17 years old in Hollywood with my best friend and family and we were shopping for my 18 hole Docs (Dr Martin’s) and they were shooting this video and they asked if we wanted to be in it. I was so excited to be in this video and meet the band. They were totally cool. It was an awesome day for me. My first pair of 18 hole Docs and get to meet the band And be in a video. Still a great song 29 years later!!

[@bulbkit]

That is a truly awesome and essential early 90s high school fantasy story come true. The Docs, the band, the video and the holes.

Mick Jones sampling Mick Jones = Total mindblow!

[@jasonharshman5397]

Mick did the same with The Clash and Carbon/Silicon. The Clash's intro to Guns on the Roof is pretty much the same as Clash City Rockers which was inspired by The Who's I Can't Explain. Years later on Carbon/Silicon's What the Fuck!, Mick again uses the Clash City Rockers intro

Yeah...that was the coolest "self shoutout" ever.

[@whitlowjohnonly1_2]

[@wilfredjbrimley]

He is sampling himself, so it's a win either way. Mick Jones was one of the first rock musicians to see the value in sampling and do it creatively. He was at ground zero for 2 music revolutions, his originally has never been in doubt.

[@befdoglover1]

He also sampled the drum intro of "All Night Long" by Lionel Richie on the extended version.

[@DameHoracia]

WOW ten years ago. Mick wasn't sampling, his cousin Andre Shapps produced BAD's music with Mick.

@@befdoglover1 Andre Shapps sampled it.

Thank you! I was just going to post that I read he sampled all night long as well but I couldn’t hear it…. He sampled some crazy stuff…didn’t he sample the drums for sweet pea by Tommy Roe in Rush?

You see all those kids at 0:43 wearing identical white tees with black and red lines? We were walking in our annual "March for Hunger", a 26 mile walk from Skid Row to Santa Monica to raise money to feed the homeless. It was just a coincidence we were there - and we got to be in a music video. How LA is that?

[@weetspliff1848]

I grew up listening to Big audio dynamite and this song is still worth jammin to

[@deaconsmom2000]

These comments have my heart very happy. It's amazing to see all you 90s and 00s babies remembering BAD with fondness. My daughter approached me a few years ago because she was making a playlist to listen to while doing field research. She had most of the other bands she grew up with, but she couldn't remember the title of the "choo! Bless you" song. I'm fairly certain she added most of the Down At The Globe album to her list. It's interesting to hear about what our babies remember and what things remind them of their old Mommy.

Still one of my favorite bands! Formed by ex-guitarist and singer of The Clash, Mick Jones back in 1984. They were one of the first to do sampling and I think they did it more creatively than most even to this day. So many great songs and lots of great sampling!

In 1979, Mick Jonas and Joe Strummer lived in this small country in Central America, called Costa Rica. And, for me that these two great guys co-wrote the song London Calling, it was an honor and privilege to put Costa Rica on the world stage.

Didn't know of BAD until the early 90's and was BLOWN AWAY! I'm from Chicago, Illinois. A friend brought the cd for the road trip we went on tripping on cid and boy that was a memorable day, Lmao! We must have played that album a boatload of times, BAD is definitely underated. I was organizing my pad and came across the cd box minus the cd, hopefully it's around somewhere. Either way we have KZbin, YEYYYYY!!! Cranking BAD super loud cruising in the classic car I had at the time was mega epic!!! I had a 1971 Chevy Caprice with a stereo system / speakers to rival as if you were at the concert. Great times and beautiful memories. "Esta. Loca" epic line from a Chicago House music jam Classic, I was blown away they used it. Mega Dope!

To those of you who were saying that BAD aren't good live, I have a double CD version of The Globe which comes with a CD called Alley Pally Paradisa, the live "official bootleg", I've not heard the whole thing in full, but actually they're pretty good live, there's a great version of Rush on the live CD, but it's known as Situation No Win on the live album, I suspect the concert was performed before The Globe studio album was released. I don't know how easy it is to get the live "Official Bootleg" these days.
