Mick Jones on the Tele

[authorityblues]

I so agree with Mick that Buchanan is the best tele player of all time.

[xwexarexbulletsx]

He's so kind and nice, he's surely a delight to talk!

[HelterSkelterSOR]

check out Shane McGowen's teeth, you're in for a treat

[adams128]

[ElizabethRhiannon]

Talented artist, beautiful man...

Oh my god. I'm similiar to Joe Strummer in a tiny way (I play a right handed tele and I'm left handed). I am so happy.

[marigoldpunkrock93]

He seems such a nice person, always smiling and making great music

[ilovegoonbas92]

joes most dextrous hand would be his fretting hand….not his strumming hand

[Gabriopunk77]

The original punks are all intelligent, articulate, polite and ugly as hell.

[Maafa1619]

@Gabriopunk77 The real original punks were white trash assholes from Michigan, Mick and his contemporaries came along ten years later.

[Salguine]

@Maafa1619 The original punks were the long-forgotten rockabilly cats from across the American south. The white trash assholes from Michigan came along twenty years later.

I didn't know this was a chatbox for dental care obsessed bitches....

[toonozandy]

I think Mick will be getting a set of falsies soon !!!!

[two77clash]

As someone said here, he made most of his legendary tunes with a Les Paul, and no one can deny that. He's not and all time Telecaster guitar legend we all know that, but, by the way, I see in this video, and in him picking a Telecaster -the all time Joe's favourite guitar- a way to get much closer to his bandmate friend now that he'd passed away. Long live Jonesy -¨you're my guitar herooo!¨- and Joe!

[Drzronnie]

I love my tele and Mick Jones but 99% of his work was done with Les Paul Jr's and Customs

[RaptureandZune]

@Drzronnie He started using a Thin-line Tele after he had formed the Big Audio Dynamite.

[youreastupid]

whats the song on the beginning?

[iwantcompletecontrol]

REALLY? Who cares about his teeth? This is Mick fucking Jones here, one-time member of one of the greatest bands of all time! The Clash wouldn't have been the Clash without him. For God's sake, go listen to the Card Cheat, Somebody Got Murdered, Train in Vain, Hate & War, or any other of the amazing Mick Jones Clash tracks and just appreciate him. Hell, even his backing vocals were amazing -- Complete Control, Spanish Bombs, Safe European Home, to name a few. Mick Jones is a legend! BOW TO HIM!

[strumbolli]

Why are Americans obsessed with teeth? He probably has the money to have his teeth whitened and straightened ,but fortunately he`s not that superficial .Just listen to the interview .

[Maafa1619]

You say you stand by you man.

Tell me something I can understand...

[hubba3692]

oh my god look at his teeth

[MrSuperCollider]

That's unusual for a British person to have bad teeth...

[aektzis91]

i think he got his left and right mixed up. if joe strummer (left-handed) is playing a right-handed guitar, he is strumming with his right hand, not his stronger left hand.

[menga111]

living legend

[Lespaulcoolio]

Loads of interviews you see with someone and a guitar the person getting interviewed always plays while they talk :D Makes me love the guitar :)

[Socioistic]

Joe Strummer is a great representation of that left, or right handed players can play either way; it all depends on how you learn to play from the beginning.

[MagPel1]

Hasn't he got the Joa Strummer hand thing mixed up? If you are a lefty playing a regular guitar your strongest hand will be the one taking the chords not the one strumming....? Don't understand his argument. Still, cool guy.

[disturbedbass49]

the captain got scurvy

[2PlayGuitarNow]

tele is THE guitar!!

[peonwarrior]

uglyness



[DrainedPunk]

dat british teeth

[pdawiec]

Thumbs up for Roy Buchanan!

[DunxMeister]

"all this century"  11 years then? lol

[ODC771]

@DunxMeister Yes - he used to play a Les Paul all the time.

[MrFerrango]

Has he joined the Navy. lol

[TAKETHE5TH]

@MrFerrango Looks like this was filmed on the gorrilaz tour and that's his stage gear.

[kaiserthegreat1]

I kind of feel like having a Telecaster with dual-buckers on it defeats the purpose of playing a Telecaster.

[MuscleDad420]

Living legend.

[kcin1004]

nice teeth

[ribarraatx]

jones played a les paul! 

[veitchy88]

Mick Jones likes Roy B. Who'd have thunk it..?

[RedWolf3487]

"The Telecaster only has two sounds, and they both suck."

-Jimi Hendrix

[Steedonline]

@RedWolf3487 hahaha!!! LOL!!!

[UhhKBye]

@RedWolf3487 No... Hendrix actually said "I tried a Telecaster and it only has two sounds, good and bad, and a very weak tone variation". Quite different my friend.

[RedWolf3487]

@UhhKBye Hm, it seems my internet source was incorrect. Well that sucks.

[Skavyslide]

pearloid pickguard matches his teeth

[iagobroxado]

It's really cool that Mick mentions Roy Buchanan. Cheers!

[ToddeeTheTeleMan]

I love Mick Jones musically, he's amazing, but really, he's one of the ugliest dudes you will ever see :L no offense to Mick, you rock!!!!

[AustinStephan]

Mick is a good guitarist and doesn't get enough recognition.

[TwistedSpeech]

I love Mick Jones' playing. I knew he was going to say he picked up the Tele because of Joe Strummer after he passed away. I hope this B.A.D. reunion will bear some new tunes and an album for us fans to hear. : )

[badmuts72]

Gadaffi?

[lighteningboy]

Austin Powers plays a Tele?

[StratMasterZero]

@lighteningboy Ok, I get it ... I've got bad teeth !!! Ha ha ha
