There is a great documentary about the Rock Against Racism Concert in England, called White Riot, another song by The Clash! Awesome capture of a moment in history. The Punk movement were always at the front in the fight against racism. The Dead Kennedys are a prime example...and their song... Well here it is... ruclips.net/video/PzHLPnGuVSQ/видео.html
Punk had such a small window in the mainstream but so many good bands scratched their way to the top. Clash and the Ramones were the top of the barrel.
Yeh, it was great because you could really dislike one band (for me it was the Clash) and really love another (for me it was the Ramones, among many others)

Back in my day (I'm old) The Clash were known as THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS. Hyperbole? Of course. But they were pretty stupendous with the way they combined punk and reggae.
Joe Strummer was born as a son of a diplomat.Born in Turkey,growing up in Africa,hence all the different music influences in his song writing.He never really sought out nor craved fame,he thrived with his guitar sitting at a camp fire with friends.
I saw The Clash in Trinity College, Dublin back in the day. It was in a room with no stage, just a platform about a foot off the ground. I was right in front of Joe, so close I could talk to him between songs just like two guys talking in the street. Fun times😉
Way back in 1978, I was in NY with my dad for some academic conference. I was 13 and just finding my own musical direction and was very intrigued with punk. We were at some swanky hotel and we had nothing planned one night and asked the concierge if he had any tickets we could buy. He said that he had been picked dry and only had two tickets to The Clash at Madison Square Garden that night. He had taken them in trade for some other tickets but punkrock was not exactly the vibe for his clientele. He said we could have the tickets for free if we would actually use them. Long story short, I loved it and my dad was mildly entertained. I told him it was payback for all the Grateful Dead shows he dragged me too as a kid.
I heard that for the Spanish bits in the song, there was an El Salvadorian engineer in the studio and the band got him to phone his mum and translate the lyrics, so they could parrot it in the backing vocals. Just another wee thing that made them 'The Only Band That Matters'.
The tune is Mick Jones, the guitarist singing, saying to Joe Strummer, the guitarist with the mohawk, do you want me in the band or not? Mick eventually left in '84 for good.
Right up there with Rock the Casbah, Train in Vain, and London Calling as one of The Clash's all-time classics. You should check out Clash offshoot' Big Audio Dynamite's song "Rush" sometime as well. Very trippy video, huge hip hop beats and a decided reggae/dance influence made for a great song.
"Train in Vain" is a completely different Clash vibe than the 2 you guys listened to. Also you may want to check out "I Fought the Law". Good review as always.
Great video and reaction. I think the next song of theirs to check out should either be "London Calling" or their version of "I fought the law" (one of my favorites).
Got to see The Clash open for The Who in '82 (my first concert); both bands were incredible! Another place that I used to hear the "hook" from the song was when an opposing manager would visit the mound during SF Giants games to check on his pitcher. The use of the chorus "Should I Stay or Should I go?" was apropos...
One of my favorites from The Clash! Love watching you all…to me, these musicians had a musical quality especially compared to the more classic punk bands. The Clash enjoyed experimenting. Straight To Hell is another song which is completely different. Enjoy! 😽🎶 London Calling is another great and better known song 🎶 fyi
Loved this song from high school! It was cool to see it used in Stranger Things!! 😊 She’s in high school, now and is a huge Stranger Things Fan. She asked me how I knew all the words. 😂
The Clash was one of the early punk bands with staying power. They were awesome. ("Rockin' the Casbah" was probably their biggest commercial hit.) Check out Magnificent 7 next.
Punk rock would not be what it is today without the independence of Jamaica in 1962, and the migration of British subjects back to the UK. There's a lot of The Clash where you can hear the island influence.
So glad y’all doing more punk! Dead Kennedys - “Chicken Sh*t Conformist” if you want to get a feel for the band’s message, probably not the best song if you’re not comfortable with punk yet... “Holiday In Cambodia” if you just want to react to the same songs everyone else does. NoFX - “Linoleum” is by far their most popular song. “My Orphan Year” is one of their saddest and “Monosyllabic Girl” are just fun Bad Religion - “American Jesus” is their most reacted too and one of their most commercially successful songs. “Don’t Pray On Me” or “Do What You Want” are deeper cuts and bangers in the punk world.
The Clash (and other early British punks) didn't actually have THEIR own music at first, so they were hanging out with Jamaican immigrants and listening to Reggae and Dub. I really, really recommend having a listen to The Clash's "Justice Tonight/Kick It Over" for a taste of their Reggae inspired political style.
I'd recommend Police On My Back as your next foray into The Clash. BTW, I love how you introduced the "churchy" element in regard to the part of the song that paces way up at the end. Good catch!
Absolutely bluesy, and gospel, nice reaction, CoreyRoy. England’s punk scene definitely took a lot, then added punk riffs on guitars. Love the Clash, thanks for reacting. Maybe do Sex Pistols, Anarchy in the UK, for another punk feel. Oh, just looked it up and you did it! Heading over to watch your reaction - nice.
The clash's " Police and Thieves" NEEDS to be reviewed. One of their best REGGAE songs. Yep, I said REGGAE. The Clash is known for remaking reggae songs. The punk scene had branched and merged with the reggae scene in the 80s. The clash UB40 and many other punks got into the whole reggae culture as 70s reggae was huge in the U.K. at the time while racial tensions were high.. The Clash's other popular reggae song is Armagidion Time. Most of their reggae songs are remakes. Both of those songs were HUGE hits back then (the originals). The originals and The Clash's versions are both great because theyre done so differently.
Its about one of the band members in a relationship with the chick (who sang female part on meatloafs paradise by the dashboard light), i believe they broke up, but thats what its about. They played it alot in season 1 of stranger things netflix show
There is so much better from The Clash than this song. They sometimes combined ska/reggae with their punk sound on tracks such as "Rudie Can't Fail" and "White Man in Hammersmith Palais". Lot of Jamaicans moved to England in the 1960s and 70s and brought the sound to England. I also really like The Clash's first record, very quick and raw.
I can't think of one song from the Clash I could stand - and I loved everything from Ramones to Sex Pistols to Damned to Buzzcocks to Vibrators to Saints to Social Distortion to Dead Kennedys to Black Flag etc. etc. back in the late 70s & 80s.
(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais I think is the best song the Clash made. It’s about being disillusioned by the corporate take over of revolutionary music and movements. What was once dangerous and counterculture is now prepackaged and sold.
In yet another different, more mellow, style than this or Casbah is a song called Straight to Hell, about the Amer-Asian children left behind when the US left Viet Nam, which I think you'd be interested in for both content and sound
Lol, who cares what Rolling Stone Magazine has to say?! They drop the ball every time they do a top 100 or 500. They just released the top 250 guitarists and really messed up. Just watch any reactors that play guitar. They are all disgusted.
I was going to watch your Van Halen but then I seen that you had this one on and I said oh no I got to watch this I mean I love music I have a hard time reaction videos I like to watch because I like to watch everybody's reaction this one just about as much as I like House of Pain ( Jump)
That song is much older than that, I can’t remember who originally came out with it but I believe it was late 50s early 60s, Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen did a cover of that in the late 60s on the album lost in the ozone.

You're not old...i remember the 60s and 50s
That's funny - the Clash was my least liked band in the punk scene. Didn't like the singing, didn't like the reggae, didn't like this song.
Yep. I remember that phrase very well. "The Clash" were huge in the very early part of the 80s.
Excellent live
I believe that phrase was a record company creation
The band hated it
When The Clash broke up, the guitarist in red (Mick Jones) formed a band called Big Audio Dynamite - you should check them out, like "The Globe"
I always got such a kick out of The Clash singing in Spanish and still retaining their distinctive British accents lol ❤❤❤
Joe Strummer was born as a son of a diplomat.Born in Turkey,growing up in Africa,hence all the different music influences in his song writing.He never really sought out nor craved fame,he thrived with his guitar sitting at a camp fire with friends.
he spoke a few languages because of this as well!
I FOUGHT THE LAW, THEIR VERSION WAS GREAT 😊
“THIS IS RADIO CLASH” is a banger! It’s a must. 😁💖
I saw The Clash in Trinity College, Dublin back in the day.
It was in a room with no stage, just a platform about a foot off the ground. I was right in front of Joe, so close I could talk to him between songs just like two guys talking in the street. Fun times😉
Have you seen the doco White Riot about the Rock against racism Concert!
In 1983 I sang this tune to my husband. He got mad. We divorced shortly after LOL!!

This is a great classic song. 💯 I love this era of music that included new wave, punk & post-punk. All these awesome artists from the UK.
I heard that for the Spanish bits in the song, there was an El Salvadorian engineer in the studio and the band got him to phone his mum and translate the lyrics, so they could parrot it in the backing vocals.

Train In Vain, Radio Clash, Guns Of Brixton, Lost In The Supermarket, The Magnificent Seven just for starters fellas!🖖🏼
Yeah, the Clash had a number of awesome tracks. 👍🏻

The Bottom Line
also at the same time you had The Jam...Going Underground etc...That's Entertainment, Town Called Malice!
White Riot by the Clash!
They were much more than punk. Very diversified.
"Train in Vain" is a completely different Clash vibe than the 2 you guys listened to. Also you may want to check out "I Fought the Law". Good review as always.
I fought the law, is a cover.
Great video and reaction. I think the next song of theirs to check out should either be "London Calling" or their version of "I fought the law" (one of my favorites).
A drummer's song to have fun with. My bro use to sing lead as well as drum on this one back in the day 🎶🎵 good times
Brilliant song!
Great reaction guys! You should hit "Train in Vain" and "London Calling" next. Happy New Year! 😎
The dance floor would get swamped whenever this was played back in my da, lol.

The Clash incorporated many different styles of music. Lots of reggae! Check some of their songs out on Sandanista.
Love this song!! 😊

Another great song/anthem of theirs is "Know Your Rights".....some great lyrics.
I remember this song from the Levi´s commercial back in 1991
Rock the Casbah comes immediately after this track on the album COMBAT ROCK

Good morning 💪😎👍!
One of the best British bands of all time. The guitarists dad was a bank robber so he did good to go hos own way. R.F.C 1#
They did a triple album Sandanista, they were very knowledgeable on politics.

The Only Band That Matters
Good to be first. Love the Clash.
London Calling should be next
'White man in Hammersmith palais' my fave!
Back then we sometimes changed the words stay and go to fk and blow.
Sing along with it, it makes sense.
This is pop new wave Clash. Check out their first album for punk
Some great clash songs; safe european home, guns of brixton, revolution rock, brand new cadalac
A couple of Clash songs You should check out and react to "The Magnificent Seven" and "London Calling."
The Magnificent Seven is a great song to check out next…
It’s “Rob The Cashbar” 😂😂😂 I Heard It At A Lot Of Weddings!!
There is so much better from The Clash than this song. They sometimes combined ska/reggae with their punk sound on tracks such as "Rudie Can't Fail" and "White Man in Hammersmith Palais".

straight to hell boy, straight to hell
The Clash - Straight to Hell (Official Audio)
Check out "The Guns of Brixton" by them
(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais I think is the best song the Clash made. It’s about being disillusioned by the corporate take over of revolutionary music and movements. What was once dangerous and counterculture is now prepackaged and sold.
Hey brothers you should react into The Magnificent 7 by the Clash. I know you will love their rapping style!
Check out the clash-london calling
Check out their cover of The Equals - Police on My Back
In yet another different, more mellow, style than this or Casbah is a song called Straight to Hell, about the Amer-Asian children left behind when the US left Viet Nam, which I think you'd be interested in for both content and sound
“Bank robber” please 🙏
the deep dive song by them are the best; Daddy was a bank robber, somebody got murdered, guns of Brixton
what do you think about Voodoo Rythm by the Monsters I believe?
The only Mick that matters. ☺️
Hardly
Please try "Straight to hell" it will blow your mind even further on their "style"
☮️💙💙💙🔥😎
Watching this live the english audience would have lapped it up..
The only band that matters.
Great song. Try Guns of Brixton for a completely different flavour.
They had Bo Diddly open for them in an early tour of the States, this song is in homage to Bo🎸🌈
EEEEEY! BO-DIDDELY-Dee!?
Train in vain! The most happiest (beat) and saddest (lyrics) lovesongs of all time!
you need to do mag 7 from them!
React to their song Train in Vain
London calling
👍
To me London Calling is the next choice for The Clash. I'm not a big fan of The Clash but I do listen to their more well known songs.
Fellas
GUNS OF BRIXTON
Or
POLICE and THEIVES
Their two best songs
You’ve done the two most mainstream songs
Try' radio clash'. By the clash
london invasion was classic asf
Lol, who cares what Rolling Stone Magazine has to say?! They drop the ball every time they do a top 100 or 500. They just released the top 250 guitarists and really messed up. Just watch any reactors that play guitar. They are all disgusted.
I never liked this song so whenever it came on I would think they should Go
I was going to watch your Van Halen but then I seen that you had this one on and I said oh no I got to watch this I mean I love music I have a hard time reaction videos I like to watch because I like to watch everybody's reaction this one just about as much as I like House of Pain ( Jump)
This was actually not a hit when released. A long time later it became a hit when Levis used it in their commercial
White man in Hammersmith palet
The Clash - Train In Vain
If you don't mind may I suggest a good song from the 90s Hot Rod Lincoln
That song is much older than that, I can’t remember who originally came out with it but I believe it was late 50s early 60s, Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen did a cover of that in the late 60s on the album lost in the ozone.
@@humpy936 Yeah..original 1955. And Cody was '71. Idk anyone who did it in the 90s.
The Clash, early hip hop, do some digging
Nine Inch Nails I think was better but I'm early 60's
Maybe she was bipolar
This is a trash Clash song to be honest...Check out Police on my back or anything off London Calling
There are much better clash songs to react
