❤❤I was lucky to see Joe Strummer & the Mascaleros at Big Day out in 99 - all the young ones were at chemical bros in a tent & we had front stage rage ❤❤❤ Clash the greatest rocknroll band in the world I will always say & when I heard my 18 playing London Calling of his own accord I nearly cried❤❤❤❤
I managed to see The Clash live in London 11 times between 1977 and 1980 and the ages of 14 and 17 years old. I’m 61 now! 😮 For me, the first album is still my favourite!
The Clash were always the ones for me, left a deep impression on my life. Always loved the chorus to 'I'm So Bored With the USA' - to date the most defining 1977 punk chorus of all time. Oh those great tunes.....White Riot, Janie Jones, London's Burning, Police and Thieves, What's My Name, Deny etc, but most will remember the Clash now for London Calling, Bankrobber, Magnificent Seven, Should I stay or should I go Now. Looking back I think the best Clash was that era with White Man In Hammersmith Palais, Complete Control, Clash City Rockers, Tommy Gun, English Civil War, Stay Free, Guns of Brixton, Clampdown, Spanish Bombs, Hateful etc. Aged 61 I still walk around with a t-shirt with the first album cover on. Paul Simonon was just such a punk dude and they will always be my favourites, just but only just ahead of the very-nearly equally wonderful Stranglers and the Jam. The Pistols, Buzzcocks, the Damned, 999, SLF, Ruts, Vibrators, Generation X, Skids, XTC etc also created damn good music but not in the same quantity.
I’m 60 was an Indian punk back in the day age 14 - my name is sham - mates loved that name - pistols too commercial for me - The Clash- Damned - Slf - Ruts - stranglers- x ray spec - pure poetry n relevant today
Great to hear from Paul. Saw the Clash on one of their very rare appearances in Dublin at the Top Hat in Dún Laogahire, October 1978. Right up at the stage in front of Paul. Magic times.
Wonderful Saw The Clash , In Newcastle 82 , Two nights. Bumped into Kosmo viynl on Northumberland street, he asked me “is there a Good Curry House, “ He then invited me to an after show party with Joe Strummer, Mick Jones, Paul Simonon. Talked to all. Cool cool Guys They Really were the last Gang in Town. Outstanding interview 😊🏴☠️
2007 he was playing with The Good, the Bad and the Queen and I caught him at a festival in Austria. The Clash was my No1 band then (and still is). I was about 15 yards away from my absolute Idol. The guy who was the reason I started playing bass. I was shouting "Paul" and he pointed at me. I will never forget this experience.
Great capturing all these first hand stories before they are lost forever . Don’t think the young ones realise how much influence guys like the Clash had amongst the whole of the U.K.
It feels emotional to see and listen to Paul Simonon. He somehow reminds me of Charles Dickens, and some of the best things about the U.K. As Agnetha would say, thank you for the music
I saw them in 82, the concert changed my life, and I remember spending a lot of time staring at Paul, who was the best looking man I'd ever seen in my life at that point. Not to take away from the music of course, what a band!
Saw the Clash at Erics in liverpool in 1978 ive never seen kids so.excited,nobody thought they would turn up but they did and played for over 2 hours!!! Its on You Tube and joe says " Move back kids are getting hurt down the front, we're not going anywhere for at least two hours! " When they started playing it was like "they" were pugged into the electric socket along with theIr guitars!!!,
They came to the swinging apple afterwards and stayed there till it shut in the early hours then a group of us went back to a house in penny lane with them for a bevvy, they were sound.
That's great to hear. I am too young to remember Eric's but my older cousin saw The B52s there and he loved The Clash but never saw them. He was at Joe's last gig in Liverpool not long before he died.
I met Paul many years ago; me and my Dad shared a mini-cab with him during one of the many train strikes in the UK in the early 1980s - from Mid-Kent to London, Victoria. Top bloke and a really nice guy. Thanks for uploading liked and subscribed.
Great chat. I didn’t think Gary and Guy interrupted that much at all, and if they did, it was only with the enthusiasm that they have on the subject matter. These guys are obviously from the same musical era and have a lot of stories to share. I feel more like I’ve been privy to a good pub yarn between mates. Great stuff.
This interview is awesome and brings back many memories-when they let Paul speak. This comes off as more of wanting to my hero what I think than an actual interview.
This is so powerful somehow. It really stays with me after viewing it. Amazing. He really has a powerful presence. Paul is amazing and still so cool. The real deal. Thanks for getting him on here. It's really well done. Could easily be longer or a double episode.
Saw the Clash at the NYC Palladium in 1979 where the famous 'London Calling' bass-smash took place. No one sat down the entire show; the balcony was literally bouncing up and down in the 1920's theater and we were convinced it would collapse. My buddy said "well if it does, I'd just as well leave this world listening to the Clash."
Always a great pleasure to hear Paul. Definitely changed my life back then growing up in London seeing the Clash for the first time and on many other occasions. Generation X. A way of life ... Many thanks Guys. Top interview ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
So lovely to hear them all talking about the whole thing! It really was "a pUnKy ReGgAe PaRtY" - and it was alright!!! Still play all of their records. Love 'Sandinista!' pUnK sNoT dEd!
@@danielwatson3273 A lot of the White Flight ones are,yeah,and who can blame them,the East End looks more like a Nigerian or Pakistan slum now,really really grim.
Brilliant talk! I grew up in Ladbroke Grove and in 1976 this man was the reason I bought a black Rickenbacker bass. Right on Gary, this is cool hearing it from Paul, especially the quote of all time; "When you're malnourished you tend to spit a lot! I didn't become a doctor, I became a bassist, so I can say 'yeah, that's bloody true.' I used to steal fruit from Portobello Road Market, I was that malnourished!
This is great thanks. I am a big Clash fan from way back and still to this day. Only a few days ago was delving into their catalogue for a refresher. Always a good vibe and stands up very well. They really progressed a lot musically in such a short time, album to album. So good that you did this on video. Great to hear these stories directly from Paul after reading so much about it over the years. A bona-fide legend. Thanks for doing this one guys.
I always thought Paul was the coolest guy in the whole London punk scene. Just his look and presence alone commands an immediate respect when he enters the room. And his bass lines are also top tier that stand the test of time.
For those who complain about interrupting. Make your own podcast, invite rock stars and take interview yourselves. They aren't professional journalists and interviewers. They all just old pals.
Great interview. The Bas Man that absolutely inspired me to pick up the Bass and play it myself. Been playing it ever since. Have also been listening to THE CLASH ever since. The musical score of my own lifetime movie…
I find Paul's journey as a bassist extremely remarkable. He was influenced by reggae music which transformed him into an exceptional bass player. Mick Jones was also a crucial figure behind the success of The Clash because was already a musician before Joe Strummer, Paul Simonon and Topper Heaton joined the band. The story of The Clash is nothing short of special ❤ # the only band that matters🥲
Guys, these are effin brilliant, they'll be part of music history. It'd be great to have guest musos play their riffs/intros to the songs we grew up with, have them chat about that too. Keep up the brill work !
You have to give Gary credit , the band would be nothing without him, and I was initially disappointed they played the Krays until I actually saw it, he deserves the kudos.
Great video with one of my all time heroes. London Calling is still one of the greatest albums of all time. I wouldn't normally comment but it gets mentioned quite a few times. Brexit was not supported by all of the North Gary! Leeds, Sheffield, Newcastle, Manchester and Liverpool all voted against it as did Scotland. Hartlepool as quoted here did vote for it. You need to look at the MIdlands for the real Brexit vote.
This conversation blew my mind. I grew up in the 70s and 80s and I have all of the Clash albums, I have Spandau Ballet, Pink Floyd, etc. I was 14 here in Toronto when I heard the first Clash album in 1978 and all of the kids in my high school just went mental over that album. Then the Specials and Beat.... what a time for music!! I loved the diversity back then. Thanks guys for making my teen years so incredibly bearable...

Guy Pratt. Pratt right enough. Just butts in, when Paul & Gary are talking, instead of letting them finish their point. It's so much more free flowing when he keeps quiet.
I think they both butt in. It's the curse of 2 interviewers/1 guest. I struggle to listen to their podcast because of that to be honest, even though I like them both hosts as individuals, and they have really good guests.

Perfect for this band. But Train in Vain nothing without the bass??
Basic lines, no real chops in that song

PAUL wicked down to earth. Note; There is no need to interrupt him and his flow....
Yeah, you know how excited one can get though and not realize.
Paul's humility is what makes him so magnificently cool.
AWESOME!!!!!!! Will you guys PLEASE try to get Mick Jones on, too?!!
That would be so great.
Agree!

Yeah cranking up every amp to 11 is not a huge accomplishment mate.
Paul always looked the coolest one in the band. After watching this clearly he is very humble as well
That was his main strength as a musician, looking cool.

My gosh Paul, nice one Gary and guy, such an honor to have him back on, i love the clash ❤
I've always loved Paul's lead vocals as well as his bass playing. Pure brilliance!
Even every off shoot that members of the clash were involved in was great, Mascaleros, Big Audio Dynamite, Gorillaz etc etc. legends. 👍🏆🇬🇧💥
Havana 3 am
Meeting Paul and having a brief chat while he was spinning records at a party in Manhattan was a thrill. Genuine class act legend.
