I.was.a.punk.and.proud.still.am😊

Totally agree! I was lucky enough to see them live 11 times in London and still my favourite band too.

Mepalero

I`ve always thought that he had the look of a 50s movie star.

my first punk crush

Yeah a toothless guy.. very handsome

you mean “give a fuck”, right?

redd I’m censoring

❤

They were one of a breed. Joe was gurning 😎

Looked and sounded like a drama school drop out pretending to be an oink. Subsequently confirmed when it was revealed he was a public school boy son of a diplomat.

I’m so jealous!

How was it? I would give 10 years of my life to be there!

Kevin Hyland amazing !! when ?

@@keiththestones7951 erm 1978 as stated in the description I think

When in the movie!

The Clash didn't release it as a single.

Stiff Little Fingers...?

Why? What balls had to do with that..??

The pin drop SLF are a Belfast band so it would be strange if they hadn't played there.

@@humbertoflores2545 the punk/new wave era coincided with ‘the troubles’ in Northern Ireland. Belfast in particular would regularly get bombed, so most non-Irish bands wouldn’t play there BITD 😫

The original was by Junior Murvin. Class regae.

You're joking surely? This version is diabolical.

It’s much better I’ve always thought. I can enjoy both

The only thing i can make out is, i think, "sacred pledge", "you have done wrong, whatever you said, well dont you try to argue, dont argue with me, I am your commanding officer"

Hmm, yeah, it's challenging. Taking a stab at it . . . First set: Sign the [unintelligible] Take the pledge You have done wrong Whatever you said Now don't you try to argue Argue with me I am your commanding officer Reduce you [?] [Unintelligible] [Unintelligible] Ah yeah Second set: [Unintelligible] Unless your leader was a gun And a man to wield [?] a gun Did you pull the trigger like you can wangle your fingers Take [?] a trigger you know and [unintelligible] Cold, cold steel Cold, cold, cold steel [Variations on 'cold, cold steel']

RAF (Red Army Faction) in this case.

No was in borstal at the time but had a good friend who introduced me to punk but then he'd died of overdrive and I remember how all us young 16 yr olds thought how'd that happen to peaches from Camden I think

At the end he has to grudgingly respect that wearing a Bob Marley T shirt is nothing next to being Joe Strummer from The Clash.

Ray Gange, the character around whom the film _Rude Boy_ revolves.

@Críostóir Mac Dhubhdarach thanks very much!

A public schoolboy who later became a snowflake,a shit stirrer

Ray Gange

Twat!

Not really he just rejected it kinda, but he never lied about it

It’s spot on. Red Army Faction, Red Brigade.

B0rnles13 this clip is taken from the film Rude Boy. The movie was the story of the guy you refer to who got a job as a roadie with the Clash bit then was kicked off for being a lazy shite... lots of footage of the Clash performing. I remember buying the video in NYC in 1982....

B0rnles13 watch rude boy clash film

It's Ray Gange

Robert Smith

Thanks all, I've seen the film a few times now. I think the geezers name is Ray. Stay Free ok

here's he's also missing one kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y62gac-KttjVg3k.html&frags=pl%2Cwn but not here kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gMV0g66IrK6dqZc.html&frags=pl%2Cwn in between he went to the dentist )

Klaus-Peter Woyke anscheinend ist das eine Szene aus dem Film 'Rude Boy' und der Typ ist die Hauptfigur darin.

Danke. Ich kenn den Film nicht.

Ich auch nicht aber Joe Strummer ist dabei, daher muss ich den sehen :D der selbe typ ist auch bei 'nem anderen Konzert der Band dabei. Beim Rock against Racism event. Da trägt Joe auch sein RAF-Shirt

So does infected saliva flying in your mouth when you're singing! So you couldn't really win back then.

James that's right didn't one of them get hepatitis from this disgusting trend of spitting towards the band. Maybe it wasn't someone from the Clash but I definitely remember reading that someone got hepatitis this way. I also read in an interview with John Lydon, I think, and he mentioned that when they played gigs the band avoided the front of the stage because it was so covered in spit and snot that it became like an ice rink it was so slippery. What I don't understand at all is why kids back then would think that spitting on the band they'd payed to see and hear live was an acceptable thing to do. How did this disgusting craze start and why did it go on for so long. If I was in a band and the first three rows of the audience were clearing their noses and throats and gobbing it on to the stage. I'd pick up the mic and say "Sorry we won't be playing anymore and there won't be any refunds. Why don't you take it up with the first three rows" what a fucking disgusting trend. Reminds me of some low grade festival I went to with the likes of Doctor and the Medics and Zodiac Mindwarp, playing. I think it was headed by the Fun Loving Criminals, it was definitely during the set played by the Fun Loving Criminals that people were pissing in cider bottles and launching them at the stage. I remember seeing a young woman squatting on the ground, initially I thought she was having a piss but she was actually shitting in an empty see through toiletries bag. When she'd finished she stood up and launched it onto the stage. It landed right in front of Huey and burst open at the zip. It was at this point that the band stopped playing and Huey told the crowd they hadn't come to have bottles of piss and bags of shit thrown at them. They stormed off the stage. The rest of the festival continued in much the same way. The crowd had come to get wild on drink and drugs and not really to hear these third rate bands play. They began to enjoy chucking bottles of piss and plastic shopping bags of shit at the bands. I was so grossed out I never went to that festival again. I think it was Burning Man in south west Scotland.

Joe Strummer got hepatitis ,which he said he caught from `gob` but later related he caught it from a dodgy needle when he `tried heroin`,no doubt ` suffering for his art`.

electricleg Thanks, I was pretty sure it was a member of the Clash that got hepatitis from someone spitting in his mouth. As for contracting it from a shot of heroin, I have to say I feel very sorry for the man. I know a guy who got hep c from an infected blood transfusion. He died about 14 years ago. They tried him on various treatments that's didn't work. His liver had become decompensated by the time they realised he had it. He was extremely ill,towards the end. It's not a death I'd wish on anyone. However I've heard that new drugs like ribavirin in use with other drugs have a 98% rate of success when it comes to treatment today.

Certainly a nasty a nasty thing to get ,common among drug users,very sad that you bloke you knew got it from a transfusion.I think Phil Lynott (Thin Lizzy) died from it.

Siente lamenté oir sus grabaciones en vivo, algunos temas sonaban mal a comparación de las grabaciones de los álbumes. :(

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Love this raw live version. Or are you referring to Junior Mervin's iriginal?

Joe wasn't a communist, he was a socialist! All you have to do is listen to his lyrics to see that. Coming out with such an ignorant comment as this just isn't helpful to genuine Clash fans!

His late brother david was in the NF

and he died at this time, if iam not mistaken.

Yep, Suicide , it deeply affected Joe

I love the Clash too but I agree, if he was still alive he'd probably sing for the migrants and hate Trump, Putin and Salvini. Without being aware of it he was part of the System, he was the propaganda of Liberals who ruined and destroyed Western countries. There's no secret, you can't be successful in the entertainment business if you don't serve the agenda of the System. I was watching right before a video of RATM, another libtards band... Rock is propaganda, not rebellion.

Did you have the colossal wanker routine perfected by 17? Or is that a lifetime achievement?
