There will never be another band like the clash. They did many kinds of music, and they were not afraid of taking a stand against injustice any place on earth! Miss you guys!
One of the greatest nights of my life. The cameraman's assistants were pushing me back to film the shots of the band from the front of the stage, so this is pretty much the view I had of the gig. The atmosphere was electric.....
When i saw this 14 yrs old, next day i was out on the streets trying to get in a punk rock band... Been playing ever since!!! Thx Joe & Mick & Paul & Topper :-)
The Clash will always be one of the great rock bands. And like all great rock bands, not everyone in the world likes them, so go listen to music you do like.
@telecomboring I'm not trolling at all... In my opinion, some mouse clicks on a program, mixing some sounds you didn't even made yourself is not music... Music's supposed to be about instrumental skills... Playing guitar and clicking on a fucking mouse is the same thing, in your opinion? Oh and, about Bob... I'm not saying he wasn't good, but compared to real old style reggae, he's nothing. He's just being uber-commercialised and that's shameful to say he represents reggae.
@trynyte @trynyte Your obviously upset over something with your rant against Joe. But surely u should add some facts to back up your arguement!!! Otherwise you just come across as talking out of your arse! IMO not many ppl can say they the were more politically active, caring or passionate as the Clash. Maybe Billy Bragg or RATM. But I certainly dont c how u can call him/them a sellout. I eagerly await your retort.
@lynch42o Its not about having “Soul”. The first album didn’t have enough tracks, so they decided to make a rock n roll version. This is the farthest thing from the original, so you may as well say that “Sweet Child O Mine” didn’t have soul like Junior Murvins “police And Theives”.
@offensive80 The shirt was made to be against the RAF. Its a Brigade Rosse shirt. Brigade Rosse was an Italian terrorist group from the 60/70’s. Joe bought the shirt because his dad, being a foreign diplomat (but strangely, Joe was poor as hell after he left home) was constantly talking about them.
@telecomboring I'd also like to add that a lot of electronic hip-hop/rap music is just rip-off from real artists... Which just totaly sucks... Adding some scratches on a Johnny Cash song and some beat isn't music... That's just... Making money over someone else...
So what? i don't get why the incredible need to say Junior Murvin did this and not The Clash, it's an excelent cover totally different from the original (this one is more Punk) this original Reggae song is a proof that covering is not just making a worst single than the original, The Clash were masters in doing that, just look for songs that were improved (in my opinion) like Wrong 'em' Boyo, I Fought the Law, Revolution Rock, Police on my Back and many others.
The shirt is about Rote Armee Fraktion or RAF. The RAF was a Communist German armed faction like many others in the Cold War World. What Joe did by using the shirt was not declaring support for those groups, but calling the world's attention to them so everyone could know they existed, afterall The Clash was not an armed solution supporter and you can see that in many songs like Tommy Gun
@Faceshot103 long hair and greaser jackets playing sped up Sha na na covers. Have you even listened to their early music, Blitzkrieg bop!? Are you fucking kidding? Jerry Lee Lewis, MC5 and The Stooges were far more punk without even being"punk". That's like saying Nirvana "invented" grunge because you bought a copy of Nevermind. The Ramones were certainly there at the inception of a trend, but what exactly did they invent. Nothing.
I dig the Clash, but........I've never heard so much gushing over a cover song. You can talk about how their version is a great rendition/interpretation of the original, but don't wax poetic about the "power of the lyrics" or the actual music....they're just re-doing someone else's thing...It's like someone going nuts over ANY song off Led Zeppelin's first album... But I do like the Clash.
I would bet they wrote "London's Burning" from personal experiences with speed, but by this point in time (late '77-early '78) I don't think these guys were getting into anything heavier than herb and stout, although the drummer developed an opiate addiction later on. Sometimes just the music itself is enough to wire a person up this way. Check out Ian Curtis from Joy Division for another good example of that.
This was filmed at a nightclub at a punk club in Birmingham England called Barbarellas just across the road from the Rum Runner where Duran Duran started. It was shit hot back in the day and had nearly all the top up and coming punk bands of the day and it was ownrd by Eddie Fewtrell a legend in Birmingham.
I like this song. Please accept Jesus as your personal savior my friend, by repenting from your own sins and converting into His name and being saved by grace (Ephesians 2.8-10), as a free gift of God to you, and you are a newborn christian (2 Corinthians 5.17). Read also John 3.16 and 1 Timothy 2.5. God bless you
@Goochlore The three times ive played your video i see no difference between them and my chemical romance or any song from the Twilight soundtrack, and seriously do you really think that i only exist to listen to The Clash? i just recognize when someone has got the attitude and the talent, and by the way your underground has become the new mainstream dude
@chucho90pulsar if you would have givin the virgin wolves a listen, you would have relized that it is FAR from crying-screaming emo. plus the virgin wolves actually have talent. They are a local band and not mainstream bullshit like the clash. You sure can think for yourself and listen to what every 'punk' kid listens to in highschool and jr high.
God, I missed this. Fucking hell, I missed this. I grew up on the Clash, but was too young by about 5 years. I remember 'Clash City Rockers' in my parents' basement in 1988, but I was too late. I am so happy to have their recorded music, but I missed them live. I painted my parent's roof to 'London Calling' over a solid 5 days in 1989 and thought I had died.
I wonder how many red thumbs i will get for saying this..... But in my opinion Joey Ramone was the greatest front man, Im not sayin the clash was shit or strummer was shit, far from it ! the clash was the greatest british punk band but they dident have a patch on the Ramones.... To be honest if there was no Ramones there would be no buzzcocks , pistols, or the Clash
@bloodyhoody2 Don't want to argue. About electronic music I'm clear in my mind that you are wrong. I agree there is some bloody awful and downright lazy electronic/ pop/ hiphop about, but that doesn't mean it's all bad.
i know im gonna gt a HUGE pile of shit comments for this, but i think i like joes white telecaster more, i think it suits him more, but if someone were to give me one of them and made me choose, it would be the sunburst
To that genius saying the clash aren't punk you are right they aren't. They are their own genre, the clash will always be the greatest pioneers in music. It sucks if you are bashing on them man because strummer did more than just sing. And I am not from the uk
I remember watching the bootleg of RUDE BOY--and worshiping this performance--back in the '80s when you couldn't just look stuff up on Google. Had to pay $30 for it at some record shop--you remember those dontcha?--and watched it for every penny's worth. That's how we did.
@toddmlbauer I recognise this from the movie Rude Boy. It's a crap film but has some amazing live perfomences on it that are really worth watching. They were filmed in 1978 and 1979. the film was released in 1980 and follows a guy that works as a roadie on a clash tour.
Apparently, after Rude Boy was shot, all of the live footage was of such bad audio quality, that they had to rerecord it in the studio. That is why the audio is so good on this clip. If true, that Clash did a pretty good job of redoing the performances in synch with the video.
@bloodyhoody2 I do not agree with that narrow minded statement. An electronic instrument is a real instrument. Bob Marley is "real" reggae and he was fantastic. Then again you're probably just trollin.
Maybe they don't sing or play instruments well, but it doesn't matter, their music still fucking awesome!!!!! My so-called great music, is what they wrote in lyrics and how they express by music. ;) Sorry that my English is poor, I'm from Taiwan (ROC)
@udrinkpiss you stand alone with that ridiculous comment. junior murvin should have been honored that the clash played this song. but instead he was intimidated by this amazing sound they produced that he had never even dreamed about. your the one that sucks.
well...punk was essentially started by bands like the stooges in that era. and sex pistols, as much as i love them were a poser punk band. they were formed by mclaren to make money and a style. which is what punk is meant to stand up against stuff like that.
@charly9927 and dooglemeister. this has been the most level headed and respectful comment stream i have ever seen. as a fan of both bands (and while they CERTAINLY are different bands) i must agree that the Clash are the better of the two.
Junior Murvin probably did...Reggae and Punk bands toured together at that time and even collaborated at times...i love how genres that seem so different can unite...this is a great remake of Murvin's song which was great already
Never could realize what this "reggae" does have to do with real punk-rock? Honestly, there's almost nothing to listen from this band - sorry! - to compare it with the giants like The Lurkers, The Vibrators, The Damned, 7 Seconds, etc.
this is footage from the film rudeboy, i think this is where 'ray' (the protaganist) falls in love with joe (joe) hence why the focus is on those 2 rather than the band. you should watch the film if you like the clash and as you clearly fancy paul.
joe didnt do much drugs.. just booze and herb.. some speed in the early years but he always had this high high level of energy.. it is why they were so great.. there are stories of this high energy even if only playing for room of 4 record execs..
@Goochlore what is good then? Seriously? This band is one of the greatest of all time. Joe Strummer is one of the top five song writers/rock and roll personalities/musicians of all time.
@Donkeyn00b thats not the point... in the early 80s when they made sandinista they used to call mick jones "wack attack" because he liked rap and hip hop so much. they made rap tracks like The Magnificent Seven
ok iggy pop and the stooges pretty much invented punk rock. at least proto punk. Ramones and pistols were reallly the first to call it punk. the sex pistols and the clash really started the movent though
the movies called rudeboy, the guy the camera focuses on is ray gange, main character of the film, based on his live revolving around the clash, has some really good live footage on it, definatly check it out!!!!!!
@charly9927 NO NO NO, to say the ramones invented punk is a travesty (i love the ramones)Theres iggy pop u have to consider, alice cooper, all the 60's garage bands
@howardbastard what? gooch was criticizing the song, obviously unaware the clash didnt write it. 'good job' was sarcasm towards him, although i DO think the clash did a literal good job! haha
I Know punk is all about playing 3 or 4 chords a song and i like it that way. But when the ramones do it every single song with the same chords, it gets old. Clash went over differnt genres
Joe did weed and E his whole life. Even near the end, Joe would give ppl spliffs laced with harder stuff that just knocked everyone but Joe right out. And who in their right mind would quit weed...
Hey 1moredub you cant be Joe Strummer cause IM Joe Strummer! jk lol. NO ONE is Joe Strummer Except Joe Strummer! The coolest guy to ever pick up a tele!! Bar none! My fave singer/Band of all time.
@Goochlore Said by a guy whos main three videos include one of three semirude crying-screaming emo guys-girls called the virgin wolves ... you sure know a lot about music dude
@MsGORGONS Junior Murvin was never in the Wailers and never a guitarist for Bob Marley. You might be getting confused with Julian Marvin who was with Marley around 76 or 77.
Can I buy this version/ recording of this song anywhere? I saw it from 'Rude Boy' but dont know if they released a soundtrack to that movie or anything...It kicks the single's version ass
Hi all clash fans i just had to tell you this one some guy told me today that blink182 invented punk :/ errrrrrrr have you herd of joe and the clash hahahahahaha peace out
@highschoolmusical841 families, fuc king big televisions, washing machines, compact disc players and electrical tin openers it's funny to see my old comment up there
@AlienBusDriver he's an actor. he's the main character in a film called rudeboy which is a film about a roadie following the clash. this video is taken from that movie :D
joes t.shirt is fucking great,i have the same one myself,even if it a terrorist t.shirt who gives a fuck. awesome band.joe was a spokesman for the punk generation.
The guy in the white shirt plays the role of a roadie in the movie "Rude Boy", which this and the other video you refer to, are scenes taken from that movie. I think?
Interesting point: Its just a coverversion of reggaesong by Junior Murvin, which is way better in my opinion... :-) You can find on the right "related videos", check it out!
looooooooooooooool i don't mind people taking originals and making their own but this is so bad people please listen to the original by junior murvin lol 1977
Holy s&#*t! Is Joe wearing an Italian red Brigades t-shirt?! I wonder if he knows what they did? I have a lot more respect for the Sandinistas than them.
Oh yes, he is! Check on Wikipedia to know something more about him, or visit him on his MySpace (sometimes he's a guest of some DJ set in the UK!) - cheers!!!
this is the best cover of the history!, joe, i mean, he´s not dead his in history for ever, there´s no going to be a human in the world that doesn´t know him
I agree with you:he was a great singer. I know the matter and take that f...ing stuff means only that you want to destroy yourself. Love and peace to you all.
That still doesn't make sense why a Jamaican would be mad.This song is an homage to Jamaicans.This is out of respect to Junior Murvin and Lee "Scratch" Perry.
does anyone know what the t shirt is about? i understand that red armee faction and brigade rosse were far leftwing groups but why did joe wear the shirt?
@shiphigh , he's not saying that he's saying the clash are covering junior mervins police and thieves which they are and he's saying they done a good job
I like Mick Jones singing "Oh Yeah" during the verse.
the best live footage ever by the best band ever
faster than our version
There will never be another band like the clash. They did many kinds of music, and they were not afraid of taking a stand against injustice any place on earth! Miss you guys!
One of the greatest nights of my life. The cameraman's assistants were pushing me back to film the shots of the band from the front of the stage, so this is pretty much the view I had of the gig. The atmosphere was electric.....
lucky you!
Tell us more please!
police and thieves = police and politicians
Brazuca que curte The Clash também, aí eu curti ;D
Buona, mi suò...
The original by Junior Murvin was fantastic - this is the best cover version.
This is my favorite video in the world. Thank you
the more I get older I love the clash ..im going back to the 70s
I miss Joe being in this world very much. It's just so hard to appreciate what we have until it's gone. What a rock of a human being.
RIP Joe Strummer. Probably the most influential punk rocker ever.
When i saw this 14 yrs old, next day i was out on the streets trying to get in a punk rock band... Been playing ever since!!! Thx Joe & Mick & Paul & Topper :-)
Oh Joe, I just you were still here today, Only the good die young RIP brother. ❤️
the best band of all time simple as that from punk to reggae hip hop soul done it all and done it well RIP joe .CLASH till we die nuff said
The Clash will always be one of the great rock bands. And like all great rock bands, not everyone in the world likes them, so go listen to music you do like.
This is the Punky Reggae Party as Bob once said!!
Greetings and Love for One and All!!
Amazing 😎🤓 police police .... 👮
Mi mancano...!
That's why I need a woman like you, with good musical taste.
"They have destroyed Jah work!" junior marvin...
LOL
Joe Strummer was the best.
I love thisss
Rude boy!

Joe Strummer, Joey Ramone, Freddie Mercury. Sucks, man. I would give anything to have been born 10-15 years earlier.

@PBANDSNOW My mistake. I just saw RAF and didn't connect it. Thanks for pointing that out.
Comments by guys like you allways crack me up.sure obey your god and when youll die youll see thet you just thrown away your whole life for nothing
does anyone know what the t shirt is about? i understand that red armee faction and brigade rosse were far leftwing groups but why did joe wear the shirt?
@shiphigh , he's not saying that he's saying the clash are covering junior mervins police and thieves which they are and he's saying they done a good job
Heh, reading coments and all I can say is "Kids what can you do? Can't beat them with a lead pipe, can't sell them into slavery, what's parent to do?"
Doesn't Joe look like a young John Cusack, and more importantly John Cusack looks like Strummer before he died? Is this not a movie in the inception?
ahhh, am I getting this correct? oldplay compared to the clash? is that like comparing an atom bomb (the clash) to a fire cracker (oldplay)? say yes.
jr. murvin the original reggae artist to sing this song. this song was done for the ghettos and political warfare going on in Jamaica. BIG UP.
I have listened to a lot of music and a lot of bands. For pure revolution, power and brotherhood, no-one, but NO-ONE can touch The Clash. End of.
@craigcsb I never said it was, i just think Charly9927 has got a hell of a lot of good music to look forwad to hearing! As i say, spread the word!
Gotta get your fact straight... It was Topper Headon who was booted from the band for heroine addiction. Joe died of a congenial heart defect.
rayan gange i think is how you spell his name. he was a rodie in the movie rude boy for the clash and i think in real life too
One of theyr best songs ( i know the original version is from junior murvin) but revolutin rock and rudie cant`t fail are grat songs too
when i watched this in rude boy for the first time my life was changed and im affected every fuckin time iw atch it yeah DIE IN THE JUNGLE
The guy's Ray Gange, who was 22 at the time of the movie ('78)- a crappy movie, but with a lot of live performances from the best band ever
