The unfortunate thing is Joe wasn’t fully appreciated while he was alive. Yes, The Clash had a loyal following, but they were rarely on TV. Their albums weren’t million-sellers at the time. I’m just glad I saw them play live in 1978, 1982 and 1985. They changed my life.
Joe was a musical and lyrical genius, an innovator and one of a kind, super cool bloke was a well above average human being to boot. Man, he’s my #1 rocker and always will be. He lives on thru us.
I lost track of the Clash over the decades. I saw the Clash play at the Palladium (formerly, the Academy of Music) in NYC - I believe it was the London Calling tour. I was sad to learn that Joe died so young.
He played a gig in Liverpool not long before he died, my cousin who was into punk went and said Joe looked ill and was very pale and sweaty. He even told his then girlfriend he was worried Joe was ill but just thought it was his age and touring taking its toll. Died way too young but at least did what he loved right up until the end👍
Although an average guitarist, Joe was a great songwriter and combined with Mick Jones' song writing skills The Clash were always going to make it, with or without the Punk Rock movement. I never did get to see The 101ers or The Clash live, but did know Clive Timperley, the lead guitarist for The 101ers; now he was a great guitarist and all around nice guy too. Interesting and informative video on a true British rocker - thanks for uploading - liked and subscribed.
We need Joe now more than ever, a true legend, Fort against racism and fight for the working class, I wonder what Joe would have said about what is going on today
the posh boy pretended to be working class all his life and got it wrong every time, when I had a beer with I'm I thought he was a Cambridge graduate, his southern counties BBC diplomatic accent was terrible, convalescent and superior but he tried to drop the vowels and double barrel sound,
And 50% of this iconic band. Their respective back grounds are irrelevant, what mattered was their chemistry and what they created together. Let me guess…..your working class and still have that chip on your shoulder?
Still miss him now. Loved him and loved The Clash. Taken far too early.
Another sad tail only 50 is no age to die. Thank you again for this
Yes so much life left to live 😓 Thanks for watching Jayne 💕

Joe was the brother I never had.RIP Joe.Gone but NEVER forgotten
The lyric sheet to Combat Rock raises rock/ punk lyrics over the edge of the greatest poet- beat-rock art style of all time.
He did so much in his short life a rough diamond but a talented one ! He left too soon RIP and thank you for your music 👍🏼🤗🇬🇧

@@jefferysteen1041 the best, also Joe and Mick Jones was the song writer due of all time
Gosh he looked like his mum! :D I never knew that
We need Joe now more than ever, a true legend, Fort against racism and fight for the working class, I wonder what Joe would have said about what is going on today
He`d be worried about his kids posh private boarding school fees.
@@mjh5437 your point is
King Joe.
The best Clash album ever was Babyshambles' 'Down in Albion'. Discuss
so very Tavistock
Cant believe he died being worth 'only' $750K ! Surely he was worth more than that!?
Only band that matters and that the clash.
One hundred and one-ers 😂

Mick Iones and Topper ok Strummer and simonon middle class posers
