the Clash in name only...

I loved this interview when I saw part of it on the New Music 21 years ago. Thank you for uploading the whole thing!

watch the movie "rise and fall of the clash"-even joe knew that firing mick was a huge mistake....

MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN THANK YOU FOR THIS!

Bernie and Kozmo Vynyl both worked on Joe and screwed everything up. Jones says so in Audio Ammunition Google series. Unfortunately, Joe’s ego spun out of control…they should have taken a break after the Far East tour in ‘82. To pump out that much material and styles in 5-6 years is unheard of. They oozed talent and originality. Best band of all time.

No Mick, No topper... NO CLASH

Joe with his boy-band. And it was bongo drums that were their speciality!

I can't take anything Joe says seriously I just keep laughing

Well for starters he's name is pete Howard and the other guy is nick sheppard not mick sheppard god what a insult.

Changed my life

good idea to fire mick jones.....worked well for them it would be like the beatles firing paul mccartney in 1964

While firing Mick was a huge mistake… this era of The Clash had really good songs until Bernard ran off and had in house musicians play the guitar and used a drum kit. There’s some brilliant performances of Three Card Trick, North & South, Dirty Punk, and a few of the rest. Life is wild still horrible lol

the sound disappears at 5.20!! I was enjoying that >:(

No topper, no rock the casbah

Other than Paul Simonon the other guys should just sit quiet. For a quick minute when the "drummer" was talking I thought I was watching spinal tap.

The clash had well sold out at this stage.

Cut The Crap sounds like Sham 69 had a baby with Cindi Lauper.

Man, never noticed those ears before

What bullshit television company filmed and edited this, The drummer is called Pete Howard and the guitarist is called nick sheppard They got the names wrong.

Y didn't he introduce Paul S. in the beginning of the interview? That was weird!

Why they be spelling Simonon Simenon

Shame The sound went half way through interesting to hear things Joe says but this wasn't the Clash & the fest they mention was Mick Jones last gig hundred thousand people there & they played career opportunities oh dear I still have that full gig on an old vhs tape

Not even a very good CLASH tribute band . Poor Joe really effed it up and albeit too late , he knew it .

Strummer banged on and on about how 'real' The Clash were since he and Simmonon kicked Headon and Jones out of the band. But look at the punk-by-numbers pricks they surrounded themselves with! The Clash were no better than Van Halen, in terms of integrity, by this point.

this is somewhat forced.....the self importance is hard to take at least johhny lydon had some fun....pissing off the press....

they reinvented the world by putting out a crappy record.

I think the split with mick was inevitable...in many ways......the clash werent finished when mick or topper got fired......they were already........mick himself hadnt written a good song anymore since a few in sandinista......to say the least......lets face it......by the time combat rock came out it was all over......that record is nearly as unlistenable as ctc.........

Joe was starting to become a carichature of himself here. Just a bunch of jaded cynical jargon. The heart and soul of it is gone.

Fake CLASH
