2 years ago when I was 13 I was also in a bit of a rough spot, some stuff when on and just nothing made me happy, I found the clash and it changed my life forever, now I'm 15 in a couple of days and I'm currently learning guitar, inspired by joe and mick, a

In 1980, I was fourteen - with the same problems... and for me, The Clash music was like therapy.

Stay strong lads ❤️

it still is therapy @@mariobarbosa5674

Stay light, nurture that spirit, and connect!

That was sad if only they continued viva joe strummer rip "true legend" 🇬🇧👍

Joe never gave in, never gave up, and never sold out...people like that never really die...they live on forever.

I actually have a conspiracy theory that Joe's heart attack was from the fear that The Clash would reunite as a sell-out big stadium band... Anyway... I just wish I was there.

@@stephenstone8480🫡LONG LIVE THE CLASH

@@sonicjet7759 Amen, Brother!!

lucky you

A fireman came to your rescue, and there wasn't even a fire for you to be rescued from! Lucky devil -- a story for you to tell your great-grandkids just before drawing your final breath!

Absolutamente de acuerdo

Same... influenced a young me on being a better version of myself n pay attention n give a shit, Mick Paul n Topper still do. They still walk the walk. As soon as I heard them I knew that was my band, sound wise n passion immediately then lyrics and identity shortly after. They gave a shit. They Still do 👍

That's awesome dude!

+Alan Ollier londons burning. bad are a better band tho

you rock, Alan!!!

I hate you Alan hahah not really but I would have liked to see Joe Strummer, or Joey Ramone live, and this is one of the things I wish I had seen, I hope I can still see Mick Jones, Paul Simonon or John Lydon live sometime, for the moment I've conformed with seeing Iggy Pop. I was born at the wrong time period. I saw Marky Ramone up close once but he left as soon as he could because he's such a "rockstar".

Glad it was a benefit gig for Firefighters as well m8, its as Clash as it gets, Especially Joe's last London gig ever n Mick getting up, playing White Riot (of all songs) with Mick 😂 and Londons Burning... Proud they done it there n then n not for any other reason. They sounded superb with Mick, like he had never been away 👍❤️

I think a reunion would have been inevitable if Strummer hadn't died. I love seeing Jones and Simonon tour with Gorillaz. That was great and probably as close to a reunion as we'll can get at this point.

I was there at the front and he was grinning away and loving it...we all were in the crowd!..looking at each other going "is this happening?" Mick plugged into the spare channel on Joe's Roland jazz chorus amp, with one of the spare guitars on stage..it seemed totally unplanned... an amazing moment to cap off a storming gig.

@@TheNorsewarrior From what they've said it actually was entirely unplanned! Mick just felt compelled to go up there for the encore and said he was really glad he did.

I Fought the Law and Should I Stay or Should I Go are great songs too

@@LeGrandeOrange missing the point

Fitting songs when you think about it... scarily. Sometimes the stars just align.

Punkers with fat fingers who were trying to hit the like button.

Justin bieber fans

Let's Go Mets!!! Nice avatar...

Joe Strummer....not for Snowflakes or Woke brigade .....Magnificent.

Are we sure somebody did not wake this dude. I mean who is to say, they could have of reformed the band!

Hello love you All Good 🍀🌈

What are you talking about "never for the money"? They weren't saints. They signed with a major label for FFS. Nothing wrong with making money off your work.

@@Vichedges of course they signed with a major label, they wanted to be one of the great bands, doesn't mean what he said isn't true, there aren't that many bands like them they turned down a lot of money

@@Vichedges They signed to a major label and pissed them off significantly by creating double and triple albums and selling them for the price of one💀 Joe Strummer wasn’t even worth a million dollars when he died I’m pretty sure

@@sitrukk their first couple of albums weren’t double albums.

@@Vichedges Their first 2 and final 2 were single albums. You’re acting like they wanted to make music and make 0 money off of it just because they believed that everybody should be treated fairly and that the rich shouldn’t rule the poor

And Mick almost literally said those very words just before going up on stage ('hold me coat' to be precise)

Someone said to Joe on way home... what do you make of Mick getting up then... Joe said "Bloody Cheek" 😂 Joe would have been made up that night... he woulda loved it. Glad it happened n they got in about it 1 last time 👌 for both of them.

Saw Mick n Justice Tonight in Glasgow n he mentioned Joe a few times. It was basically a Right Good Clash sing song for us mostly 40 year olds. Was good to see Mick happy just playing.

WITH BOREDOM!!!!!!! heh heh,,

It can still bring a tear to my eye on occasion... horrible horrible day hearing that news by voicemail from a mate when I got up for my nightshift... Will never forget those words n that moment. That tour was actually the 1st I missed because "we'll catch him next year" Couldn't speak to another gig m8 I seen Joe with 3 times... for over a week n he was the same. We didn't know what to say, couldn't process it, like where did we start so we said nothing n never saw each other for a week. Don't ask me why... it was just fcked up. As though how the fck do I start that conversation. So we didn't for a week. It was the first thing I said to him when he came round though. Was grief n retreating into a shell I suppose. I'll actually mention it to him tomorrow 😂 Joe meant the world n still does. Grateful to the man daily 👍👌

Emotional to see them together Leanne 👍

Can hear it when Mick plays those 2 songs, no offence at all to Mescaleros, saw them 3 times but it was a different animal when Mick played here.
