A lot of negative responses on this video. I'm interested in why so many of you don't like it. Is it just because it's just not a good cover of the Clash? (I was never into them so I wouldn't really know how good it is or isn't, I just filmed the thing :). Also, like batsarecool says on here: Jesse and Billie Joe are actually good friends. That's why Billie came to Jesse's show in 2003 and offered to join him on stage. It's also a little strange that B.J. changed his entire look after this. hmm
One of my favorite songs from the only band that matters. I don't really like the cover, I'm not a fan of Jesse Malin's voice - not saying he doesn't have talent - its my taste. I just would have preferred Billie Joe to have sung it.
as much as i hate green day and how they are a disgrace to themselves and the punk they claim to play, its in things like this that joe strummer will live forever it goes to show how many people he touched
ok,green day never claimed they played punk,they just claimed they played..green day songs.They do say theyre living with punk mentality,which is doing things their own way,and nobody can take that away from them,no mater what you say.
anyway..Great song!but that cover wasnt that good..prefer the good old Clash version =]

green day doing things their own way when has politics ever been their way, they dont care about politics so why did they do the whole american idiot thing, thats not doing htings their own way they think is right not because they belive in it but they belive they should. i dont want to be an american idiot... a bit late for that mate. how depressing the musical world we live in RIP STRUMMER WE NEED YOU NOW MORE THAN EVER WITH ALL THE FAKERS WHO THINK ITS FUNNY turnin rebbelion into money!
Eh, this was kind of a let down. I liked the effort and the dedication, but I wanted it to be loud like the original is. And I don't like how Jesse sang it - although I've never listened to him before so I don't know if that's just how he sings normally.
Jesse and Billie met in the Nimrod days.

Punk.Billie Joe. Green day. Punk is life, and Green Day Lives it. No matter what they say, they are still the same punks we knew in slappy hours.

Don't like what Jesse did with the song, but it's nice to see them paying respect to Joe. Especially Billie and the telecaster.
