Jesus - we need the Clash now more than ever. Even one drop of Joe's spirit and energy would dilute the tepid mediocrity of music today. We're standing on the edge of apocalypse and no one is saying a word.
Weren’t all the bands in the mainstream punk all part of the controlled Opposition, satanick masonick entertainment industry multimillionaire, deceiver, sellouts, club allegedly? To the discerning public that have the ability of facial, voice and mannerisms, recognition, isn’t that clearly Jimmy savile, masquerading as joe strummer, allegedly?
It made sense at the time and it makes even more sense now! Look outwards, not inwards. Country's are entirely artificial, people are what it important.
I do not understand why some people die so fast. The world would need them. Their voice, their words, would be a powerful alternative to the trash that comes out of the mouths of many characters, both in the world of music and in the world of politics. Thanks Joe.
I saw the clash in Dunstable around 1978. The whole night turned into a chaotic riot. The french girl group Louse got bottled and beer canned off stage. People were getting beaten up randomly. It was a really scary situation. I remember strummer came out on stage looking like Eddie Cochran. He was in a hail of missiles and he jumped down into the fighting crowd. Somehow he calmed them down, survived and the Clash played! Unforgettable night. RIP JOE, and the Queensway.
I really freaking truly madly deeply love Joe always and forever. He is dang very extremely beautiful and so incredible. Such a sweet soul oh dat face and those eyes of his.
Hare Krishna I was a young punk in the late seventies and saw the stranglers and the clash Etc and both were the best live at the time and. remember the saddest moment when I heard JOE had died
One of the highlight of my life apart from my kids and grandkids being born I spent 24 hours with Joe and Mick in Australia in Sydney I will never ever ever forget it IT is My time R.I.P old friend forever Joe sleep oh heavenly prince
U lucky fekr😂...I'd love to have seen the clash live...and the beatles...how come u managed to spend 24hrs with those 2 icons....were u a roadie or in the music business....take care m8...the clash the only band that MATTERS
The secret of The Clash WAS ‘ Joe Strummer ‘ as this demonstrates. He had more in common with Bob Dylan than Scuzzy 16 yr olds from my estate - but like all the Educated Bohemians around Mc Claren , these people Organised against The Establishment ( such as the GLC ) without whom , Punk would’ve remained as “ Garage “ or “ Pub Rock “ . My first “ Punk “ 7” was “ Erotic Neurotic “ by The Saints , on a white label - from the son of a neighbour whom worked for BBC Radio Solent. 🏴😇❤️from Wessex
A great man. The world is much better that he lived. Interesting to speculate on the interplay between The Clash and The Pistols. Always wondered whether John Lydon copped the title for his book "Anger is Power" from "Clampdown."
Said once and a thousand times. Record companies are fuckn scum. Joe, Mick, Topper, and Paul received little to no royalties for their brilliant work. I've purchased - The Clash - Give 'em Enough Rope - London Calling - Sandinista! Multiple times. And will probably buy the 40th anniversary of LC and Sand... All the money will go to the publisher. The man is a genius. And is surely missed.
BS. Joe, mick, topper, and Paul have all received millions in royalties and still receive them today. Stop lying or speaking on topics you don’t know anything about.
@@smkxodnwbwkdns8369 Thx Dad. Glad we got your infinite wisdom to guide us. But beside you baseless and pitiful opinion. The Clash upon returning from an American tour - fired their manager due to financial and artistic issues. This is not a secret and is common knowledge. Watch The Last testament.
@@99man and that negates the fact they earned royalties or that the clash albums have steadily sold over time? Did you ever hear of the story of mick jones finding topper living in a squat addicted to heroin, throwing him in rehab, and getting him on the drum seat in his new band, wheres at some point informing him he would be receiving a quarter of a million in royalties? After which topper left the band to blow it all on heroin addiction after two years. It took a while but the clash broke even by about 1981 or 1982, before they they were in debt to their label. Their albums also didn’t stop selling after they broke up. Every decade until Napster collapsed the music industry they saw another few million albums sold worth of royalties. Plus the air play of songs like “rock the casbasi” and “London calling” and it’s use in television and movies, their music is valuable . Joe strummer was worth a million dollars after he died and is worth even more now.
@@smkxodnwbwkdns8369 I believe you just proved my point. Original statement was about how the ALL record companies / publishers (especially Epic music) are greedy assholes. Joe was worth about 1 million pounds in 2002 - correct. The Clash have sold 6.5 million albums. Not including singles and copyrighted material. If you know anything about the music industry, the artist gets no preferential treatment (unless they are a multi-million seller) and the dictate their own contract. Bono and Edge are each worth over $500 million. While Alannah Myles sell six million albums and files for bankruptcy. But we can nitpick over who should get what. In the end the artist is making the material the public is paying to hear. NOT - "hey I hear SONY records have a new album out today. Lets all listen to it".
He’s great. I met Joe and he was so accommodating and kind. I wrote a Huge heartfelt piece in the NME condolence book with title, ‘Joe Strummer is dead, long live Joe Strummer’ and it was plagiarised by a jurno and published in the NME. Then a T- shirt came out with the slogan on it, stating inspired by the NME article. I wrote the T shirt guy a letter Explaining that it was my heartfelt words, not some journo genius and they sent me a free T-shirt. I didn’t care about the T shirt. I cared more that some clown, some lazy so and so had done a copy and paste job using my words and published it as they’re own. Joe would definitely be pissed off about that. Stay free !
Great stuff Cheers!I get a bit jealous as as usual,its Los Angeles New York bollocks.Boston was the most receptive to the punkers,lol,mods,Clash The Jam.Slf.Pistols of course.Too small for the market!
God we need you back Joe to deliver us from the snowflakes and the dire world we now find ourselves in,where some people don't even know what gender they are let alone the politics they may follow. Christ,how did it all turn to c..p? R.I.P Joe,the one man who did speak sense,beam me up ffs
It’s not Larry, Larry’s tone is slightly higher and softer. Interestingly enough, the dude has narrated videos on U2 ruclips.net/video/kTkXpWLBGzw/видео.htmlsi=H3QZHDcBbJxyCaXC
The Strummer interview footage is priceless for its concise insightfulness, especially after reading three Clash and Strummer biographies in a row. However, this great footage couldn't be in a more poorly conceived documentary if it tried, between the young narrator's cliches like "punk poet," "carburetor at full choke" etc and the firing of Topper Headon and Mick Jones shown in the wrong sequence. This is a documentary made by and for people who don't care about the Clash, and as such, I find it offensive. Its creators would do better to disappear into their "smart" phones, their next pint of Guinness, or both.
It all made sense at the time, but it seems now like we gave half our country away with the Rock against Racism thing. And I doubt if Rock the Casbah was ever No1 in Islamic State.
Good documentary, he's a very cool guy, I had the pleasure of drinking all night with this guy and chatting shit all night and into the morning, drinking wine out of a box backstage at Glastonbury 2005, me and him were around a fire and taking it in turns to put records on the decks, he commended me for the choice of Little Bitch by The Specials. The thing is, I didn't know who he was until I went home and googled his name. We met up at other festivals after that, and he knew I was always blagging it in but he always had time for me and my mate no matter who was hounding him backstage. Very cool guy, he had a lot of cool things to say, and he'd love nothing more than having a pint and a chat. I'll always remember that up all night banter with a cool guy, drinking box wine until the sun rises, it just so happened to be Joe Strummer
Preach, Reverend Joe. The world needs you now more than ever.
Kent Grady very true the world is lost without him
Jesus - we need the Clash now more than ever. Even one drop of Joe's spirit and energy would dilute the tepid mediocrity of music today. We're standing on the edge of apocalypse and no one is saying a word.
Powerful words. I wish that he could have lived as long as my mother !
One in a billion.
Joe.
Thinker ,drinker poet.
Good left handed guitar player.
acter
And great voice.

Clash Music during my High School years lost era and time of Legends ..Joe is Missed
What a wonderfully poetic speaker with a beautiful Soul, RIP to the great man..

Dec. 22, 2002 -- the day the music died. RIP Joe, you will be missed!

There’s a parallel universe.. somewhere.. they needed him more. He left us what we need. Up to us now..
The brightest flames burn the fastest
were making a film him.its called on resistance street.
Always comes across as modest, wise and funny. RIP.

Saw this live on TV in 2000. It introduced me to the Clash. Great show.
One of the most important humans in a all of history.
I really freaking truly madly deeply love Joe always and forever. He is dang very extremely beautiful and so incredible. Such a sweet soul oh dat face and those eyes of his.
He was/is an old soul and deserved better than this earth.
Josh Knorr What makes you think Joe deserved better then this world? Huh
Josh Knorr I am in old soul Joe deserves me.
Josh Knorr What he is very incredible what I said about joe is true
Josh Knorr then what does he deserve better then this world???
Hare Krishna I was a young punk in the late seventies and saw the stranglers and the clash Etc and both were the best live at the time and. remember the saddest moment when I heard JOE had died
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOE !
It's hard to understand what it was like in the 70s...only 3 TV channels that stopped at midnight and pubs shut at 11pm. That was it.
It's not right for people to expect you to shine everday just for them. (Joe srtrummer)
Hard to imagine Mick as we know him now being the "Rockstar". Terrible loss ..Topper then Mick and Ultimately Joe ..

The changes he made musically.........changed the shape of the profit for the record companies.

Just come across this interview recently ive seen it a thousand times
"I love it for its moronicness. I'm all for moronic behaviour whenever possible!" :-) (3:30)

John's book is Anger Is An Energy, from the lyrics to Rise by PIL
@@AudioAmmunition Anger is an ENERGY! Still, that came out in 1985. I wonder if John ever even listened to "Clampdown" .
Miss you Joe. R.I.P.
Top bloke...RIP joe.
Love and miss Joe 💚
American were like : ..... what ??
Is that how the American accent sounds ?
I love you Joe !
Coolest man ever.. Fonzie bite that...
The pressure dropped when London called and we ran straight to hell with our guns of brixton...
Yes.
Clever...?
Good job you ran coz you,ve got a ford cortina that just won't run without fuel....fill her up Jacko

I think joe would tell you to bugger off.
Tell me you didn't pay attention to anything Joe Strummer said without telling me
Reminds me that stupid American frat boys like Brett Kavanaugh thought the clash were cool but had zero understanding of them or their music.
RIP joe
I am wondering if the narrator in this video is Larry Mullen Jr from U2...if it's not him...this guy sounds just like him...

The heart of the clash was Mick Jones who wrote all the music. Joe Strummer was merely the mouth piece and lyricist.
Don,t agree sorry .It,s the combination of all.Plus Joe,s lyrics make the songs.
I'm all for moronic behavior ... whenever possible .
Ever relevant
tell that heroin is not a drug for drummers story to ginger baker :D
Heroin, good for playing sax, not so good for keeping a beat lol
Stop Making Sense. I've outlived Strummer by six years, Richard Hell is a legend. face it.
It all made sense at the time, but it seems now like we gave half our country away with the Rock against Racism thing. And I doubt if Rock the Casbah was ever No1 in Islamic State.
WTF?

Good documentary, he's a very cool guy, I had the pleasure of drinking all night with this guy and chatting shit all night and into the morning, drinking wine out of a box backstage at Glastonbury 2005, me and him were around a fire and taking it in turns to put records on the decks, he commended me for the choice of Little Bitch by The Specials.
