Awards shows are tedious at best. I just needed to see if the Grammys would rightfully hail Strummer. I waited up till after midnight for the In Memoriam segment and as it rolled through I'm thinking 'where's Joe? What about Joe?'. He rolled through last and I was so relieved they hadn't forgotten a tear came to my eye. Then London Calling began to pump. My eyeballs popped and my jaw slung low. Goosebumps from toe to hair. Then water came out of my eyes and we started dancing. Always dancing with Joe and The Clash. Goddam I miss that man and his music. What a band. What a band.
For those wondering, the bassist was Tony Kanal of No Doubt, and the drums were by Costello's longtime drummer Pete Thomas. Though I'm surprised it wasn't Taylor Hawkina
Though this is a tribute to a lord of punk this happens to be one of the most unintentional metal covers of all time. It was a dark and heavy song by its nature but this old man grit, true admiration and spirit despite the awards is really where it's at. Class act.
Thank you, Lady!!! This tribute was just a couple of months after His death :'('''. Rest in peaACE, J✪E! NEVER FORGOTTEN, ALWAYS AN INSPIRATION, ALWAYS MISSED!!! I love Y✪U always and forever!!!!!!!
@@LordTreeko. Aye, Bruce always regularly played downstrokes, but Joe didn't play anything else, and he played with more ferocity, but there definitely was a resemblance in styles. Great tribute to a legend.
Now THAT'S a Grammy tribute. Eddie Van Halen, who created a very distinct sound on his axe only gets 21 seconds ??? Disgraceful..and don't get me started on Peter Green and Leslie West
They needed more bass and less rhythm guitar. Springsteen, no 😢 ♥ ♥ ♥ They needed more bass and less rhythm guitar. Springsteen, no He's the man!!! Peace
what a s**tass performance. Springsteen doesn't belong on that stage, what a disservice to the Clash and to Joe. No Doubt guy, Grohl all day but BS? stop!

Costello has more of a connection to Joe though
Tony Kanal killing that bass
I loved this! They killed it, Bruce and Joe always stuck me as similar spirits :)
In an interview Joe said Bruce was a hero of his
I think Bruce's voice was spot on as a cover....
He’s so missed 2019❤️🥃😢

An HD version of this used to exist, I can't seem to find it nowadays.. I remember watching it years ago, this is why RUclips is garbage.
Wow only now i discover this video , Tony kanal on the back😮😮 Bruce ❤❤
Great stuff! Check out Tony Bennett giving an enthusiastic standing ovation!
Game recognize game

This screams out.....RESPECT!!!!!
Grazie joe
Riddikulus
Ya done yeselfs proud lads 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪☘️☘️🇬🇧🇬🇧🙏🙏🙏 the only band that matters
Hell yeah
I like Bruce pays special respect to Joe by emulating his guitar downstroke style. Class.
I dont think he's emulating, I think he's playing like him to get the exact sound Joe did.
@@LordTreeko. Aye, Bruce always regularly played downstrokes, but Joe didn't play anything else, and he played with more ferocity, but there definitely was a resemblance in styles. Great tribute to a legend.
You won't see that line-up ever again
“Tone…phony Beatlemania…has bitten the dust.”
Working class heros!
RIP Joe......😥
He's the man!!!
Peace
Happy birthday Joe
❤
Yes. They hit it
😢 ♥ ♥ ♥
He's the man!!!
Peace
They needed more bass and less rhythm guitar.
where were Mick and Paul?
I like it.
Now THAT'S a Grammy tribute. Eddie Van Halen, who created a very distinct sound on his axe only gets 21 seconds ??? Disgraceful..and don't get me started on Peter Green and Leslie West
This performance came to mind when I watched that Eddie clip.
Dont compare Joe to Eddie. Years apart.
Who else thought Dave Grohl was Keanu Reeves? Admit it you thought Keanu couldn't get any cooler then you witnessed this.
Yeah I did first time I saw the video back in the day, but it's not that stupid of assumptions he did have his band Dog Star...
Keanu reeves had a band and honestly looks a lot like Dave grohl so it wouldn’t be that stupid of an assumption
I completely did.
😢 ♥ ♥ ♥
BRASIL
q hace ahi dave grohl ahi siempre esta con todos los grandes jaja
Steven kinda does a Neil Young lead here...
What's with this comment section?
dude seriously
I'm so confused
Something is inherently wrong here.
well, I guess they needed more bass and less rhythm guitar. but no, spirngsteens the man!!!
clown piss lmaooooooooo
Who was that playing bass?
I think it's Tony Kanal from No Doubt (hard to see in the blurry video).
Yeah Tony ❤❤
Elvis costello
Good effort but doesn’t work with Americans singing this 😂 bruce did it justice though
They needed more bass and less rhythm guitar.
Springsteen, no
😢 ♥ ♥ ♥
They needed more bass and less rhythm guitar.
Springsteen, no
He's the man!!!
Peace
They needed more bass and less rhythm guitar.
The bassist from No Doubt held it down admirably.
what a s**tass performance. Springsteen doesn't belong on that stage, what a disservice to the Clash and to Joe. No Doubt guy, Grohl all day but BS? stop!
Bruce Springsteen voice turns my stomach. 😬 Yikes
What a waste of talent. Some covers you should never do.😢
joe would have hated all this
Why?
certainly not
Joe loved Springsteen.
no way. Joe spirit is right there being channeled thru these guys.
Joe sang it better 😥😞😉
Sean McKinnon why are you comparing ? It’s a freaking tribute good freaking god
Springsteen, no
Sprinteeng Who
oh yes. splendid hommage he does. also with tom morello
Mellissa Cross Pete Thomas, Costello's drummer
Joe was a huge Springsteen fan. He said it on multiple interviews.
