The Clash - This is England

[strangeritual]

@2.25 is that Joe with Gary Barlow?

[keji1]

@strangeritual uh? gary barlow ???? wtf you on ? thats paul simonnon, barlow couldn't look that cool if he had a full body transplant.

[strangeritual]

@keji1 lol, yeah i see it now when i squint my eyes. It was the over use of Harmony that threw me a bit

[peterthorpe]

Not true...I was in NYC when they were both working on BAD's second album #10 Upping Street. Dennis Mitchell, assist engineer on it was a good friend, and told me about the sessions, and I was so happy to hear that Strummer and Jones were fine. Strummer's V-13 is serious good stuff from that album. Like all close friends, a falling out can happen, but what they had prevailed.

[peterthorpe]

Yea, and without Mick. Strummer is beyond. They were great friends to the end. I consider this to be about the best from Joe. And, a serious political song about England. One of the major football factions used this as a theme, they don't even realize what he's actually saying!

[tigerspuds]

@peterthorp What are you on about, they didn't talk for years after Jones got the sack from The Clash....

OMG what the fuck is Warhol thinking about??? That's Paul in front.

Too handsome for him. Don't try a chance scant.

[zenphil]

rolling stone named this 1 of the top 10 singles ever. Joe finally got to call out the hypocrisy he saw in England. Great song, but they had better singles, in my opinion.

.O.

[GriefTourist]

fuckin great song

[northernswagga]

yeah this is England and it weeps

[TheFederalDrugs]

Hey RubberBandits - no, I'm FOR the Clash! Way, way FOR! Just saying that some people get the wrong end of the stick and only hear par of the lyrics of this genius song and get the point totally wrong! Nope, I'm Clash through and through!

[TheFederalDrugs]

This is England's "Born In The USA" - the dickheads don't get it and just hear the word "England". No more explanation required.

[RubberBanditsfan1]

@TheFederalDrugs Are you against the clash

[rottern]

Great photos - well done

[pitchforkcustom]

yeah this song is highlight of the album, sheffield steel etc.. great line.

[TheEddster]

Quality song...much better if they got rid of the shitty drum machine :P

[danielscissorhands]

Nice work! I love this song. It saved Cut the Crap from being total crap.

Hi great video. A while back I set up a group dedicated to campaign for people to download This Is England off iTunes from the 13 December so that it can beat X Factor to the coverted Christmas Number one. The Clash number one in teh charts in 2010 not a bad idea? I nearly have 500 members in a short time, a long way to go, but to those watching this video please look up my group.

lily allen is such a racist i will never listen tonher again

[keji1]

@edwards21416 .......... why do you mention lily allen on this is england by the clash' upload ?

[salvadory]

@keji1 because she in the pic with mick and is his god daughter i guess- and apparantly she made some rascist comments

[keji1]

@salvadory .... what racist comments has she made ? not heard this at all, i dont believe she did to be honest, tell me what she said and i'll tell you why i dont believe it.

[salvadory]

@keji1 goggle it- thats what i heard but its not set in stone by any means!

[keji1]

@salvadory ... well this contradicts what you heard m8 ....take a look on her myspace

[keji1]

@salvadory ok i googled it and all i can find is lily allen posts anti-racist tracks on her myspace, bit of a contradiction i'd say m8. think you heard wrong she's anti racist not racist :)

[BlondeRocknRoll]

wonderful upload .. one of my fav Clash songs... just to hear that intro...and the line Sheffield steel.. gives me a chill.. its just wonderful..I rem we had it on 12inch, kinda worn it out.. the wonders of big brothers..bringing great music in to your house, and the times of coloured vinyl.. takes me back..

[keji1]

@BlondeRocknRoll ... a clash classic this one, because it was on a poor album it never really had the recognition it deserved 

[pmsphoto]

The last great Clash song....

[SuperFlowerman]
