Spot on, pal.

I am in precise sync with those ages. Everything about them was a breath of fierce yet fresh air.

Hope things are good Shane. Love the Clash and followed them longer than you. Mescaleros and BAD too. Many other band matter mate

Ditto ♡

Replace 57 with 30, and keep the rest for me.

Welcome to the club :-)

Yep, 58 years old and it's the same for me.

I saw the Clash 1978 when I was 13 I was back stage with them, and saw them again 1979 , when I was 14 fuck sake I'm 58 now , can't even go into how many groups i've seen let alone been back stage with, I love my Life and my Memories of the old punk days i'll love them forever , fuck this and fuck that, fuck it all the fuckers fucking brat.

In Hartford, CT??? Combat Rock/last tour??? I was there, also like 16!!! Bro that’s amazing!!!!

+Chris A. Yeah, a racist prick like Eric Clapton doing 'I Shot The Sheriff' = white reggae The Clash doing dub reggae, with actual dub reggae producers and artists from Jamaica is a whole other story. /OG Kush

Oh, for sure. And no-one ever questioned Strummer's integrity. No-one.

'Integrity' is a con.

Well ... that's racism for you, it aint just a white's against black notion;)

Eh? Whose racist??? Let's have some clarity around your words man ...

They introduced me to so many musical styles. I mean, Sandinista! What a triumph!

Yeah man belta lad

play around don't stay around

@@KaleCasanova Either way, just remember to use a calculator.

Either way a lot of people won’t get no supper tonight so remember to kick it over 👂💯✌️👊👊🤙

Well ahead of their time. Speaking truth but the "establishment," didn't want to listen. These times are now crucial. Thanks to The Clash for saying it out loud and not giving a toss if people didn't agree with their thoughts and words.

@@nattyhead5988 They never listened to what other people told them to do. they simply followed a long artistic calling, musical visions no one else could see

I was there too . . . and all of it was true!

I saw them in Brum around 1981, I was a bit disappointed to be honest.

Totally agree ♡ they were... a little chaotic live ... but the vibe was amazing.... saw them ×2 in Glasgow, London Calling tour , got in free, guest list... Stan Stammers, Theatre of Hate told me a couple of months prior to the Clash gig , he'd get me on the list because I helped the tiny road crew TOH and... The Meteors (!) get a cheap " hotel " in town.... and at the gig , dunno who it was... full Rasta dude ... selling ☆ AUGUSTUS PABLO ☆ original rockers, vinyl L.p. for about £2.50 .... really blew a good few minds... ♡ positively ♡ God bless the Clash for bringing many of us out of slavery

Att least for as Long as "HUMANITY" will endure ... Would be a more accurate prediction ! Peace 2 all !

timeless

@@metaphysicalmigraine694 I think you're #Paranoid possibly #Delusional

That was you?? That's how I first heard The CLASH! If it wasn't for you blasting this through my ceiling, I wouldn't be here!! Thanks!

just the thing i have done give some decent music to a shitty neighbour /i did the same thing with the stranglers the track peaches blew the whole road away. and almost blew the speakers to Brighton from south london fk i used to do some highs xx

Your spot on..personally I think. Joe & paul have wrote the best songs out of them all. This song is so good I can't think of anyone who's wrote anything better. Message = great sound is not easy.

they didn,t write it.

True, but this was written by Willi Williams... Studio One reggae classic.

I agree saw them twice, changed my life, the force was The Clash, met them once and Stumer was a kind man who loved the fan, he got my stuff signed backstage! Never forgot him, he was ace!:)

@@extrastype but they were a punk band and said to be inspired by the Sex Pistols were they not? This is too polished stuff (good nonetheless), but it marks a terribly downward shift from Punk to softpop-cum-reggae stuff. Yes it is dub too, but they went too far down (strictly in my view) from being hard core punk to bring out something like this. I am sure Sex Pistols would have disowned them - but it also has indications of pressure on them by an established label they chose to work with - CBS.

+bri jones You should listen to The Ruts. The Slits also mashed it up, though in a different way. And check out Adrian Sherwood's production generally. Clash were really really good at it, but some others were good too.

Stiff Little Fingers always stood out as the best for me when it came to incorporating Reggae into their music, if only a little bit more better than the Clash.

Jah wobble up there too

Dunno bout that think ruts were at it fore clash ..ruts much more true to selves . Strummer an co more art school .student types .though think joe might have wanted to b workin class he wasn.t .

@@robbiebanks9182 Art school, like Pete Townsend, Keith Richards...so, not too bad a place to begin your adult life...and, because I'm french, surely, I don't give a damn if a rock'n'roller is working class or not !

YOUR A LUCKY FRENCHMAN.DIGGIN' the Clash Patrick, im',a impressed American, I bet its a lot better then a Frenchman playing a accordian and singing through his nose... In America they say if you cut off a Frenchmans nose, he cant sing,,,,,just a joke. or is it true pal ?

@@louiesalardino9811 stfu you dense yank

Glad you remembered.

Just gotta love this Avent you some peeps ain’t gonna get no suppa tonight lid 🔥🎼🕶🎼🔥

Even better than LKJ Linton Kwesi Johnson !

Thank you for snapping me out of my stupor I'm going to load another cone pull it and bliss out to this masterpiece again ✌️👍🤪🥴

"This is also one of the most Savage bong hitting songs"...ya man my friends and I discovered that in college...needless to say this song played regularly...also 'Bankrobber Dub' ;-)

Been a while now... hard to believe 20 is comin up. Fukin what a strange ride Punk has been.

cool 👍😉

👍 keeping it real 😜

It's a cover

@@confusedbadger6275 I know - just like "Police & Thieves".

**cough** SUBLIME

Keep on “Stumming” 👍

...and bass, too!

Wow great idea J had not ever thought of that

+derin111 Neither does Simonon. He could really lay down a groove.

Topper slapping the bloodclaat rockers right here.

Fortunately Topper IS recognized as one of the greatest and most proficient drummers in rock history. He is amazing.

John Barrett Paul is fucking cool no doubt from bassline to brushstroke but few bands if any have a Topper.

@@lestoil Yes he is. That damn heroin.

Spot on. The Clash loved the original.

Guerrillas 😎

@@michaelconnell7808 oh yes! Can’t forget Mick’s collaborations with them too!

There wouldn’t be a Clash without Mick Jones. He changed Joe from Hippie Gypsy to punk after their first 6 hour meeting stair down!! . Legendary So Joe cut his long hair into a skin shaved Mohawk.

Terrific comment, dude - same here

Hey Joe! What are we gonna do now?

We still should fight on Even though joe is not here

@@willdrakes7445 fuck yeah!!!

Truth!

The original is not the original, it's a cover, but I know what you mean, and I agree.

My knee is bouncing does that count? 🤔😜😁

Me too. No justice, no peace.

@@nerthus4685 Oh, go fuck off somewhere.

@@nerthus4685 I'm a citizen of this planet that I share with fellow human beings that can have a great compassion and empathy for each other, that includes you.

@@nerthus4685 what's that?

@@nerthus4685 Yeah come on down lol

Which is the title The Clash gave to the first version they did of this song. This is the "B" - side.

damn right, man! 🤣

Other than your response that deserved a thumb, your "handle" does deserve another! Cheers.

Oops years later . correction

Joe never goes out of style ....he knew the past .. present..and future.

Yess yesss hun belter dis init I luv it too 👌🔥🤙

@@sledgeheads4729 Absolutely 👏🏻 🕊 ❤️ Happy new year to you

A no pal god bless RIP joe 🕊

good news! sunlight kills the bug. it's true..

Cut the Crap was not the Clash. It was Joe Strummer and Paul Simonon and some hired guns, and a drum machine.

You'll never convince me that North and South and This is England aren't great songs

Guess what. One day you'll eat those words. It's Joe working in mysterious ways.
