If you head over to the Neon Bible Web site, you can watch a video of Arcade Fire covering the Clash classic "The Guns of Brixton," shot at one of the band's recent shows in London. The video is intentionally grainy, but you get the gist of what's going on. Click on the link above and then click on "6 Guns" to watch the video.
I love that song. Paul Simonon's name seems to be everywhere these days.

How nicked is that bass line, too. I hear echoes of it in so many songs--hip-hop, rock, etc.

One of my favorite Clash songs...it's interesting to hear this version because the original's all dubbed out, but the Arcade Fire version makes much more apparent how good the Clash were at writing English folk songs.
