The Clash - Straight To Hell, live on a certain tv show! Remixed with awesome interview clips.

[Firebrand1967]

Wow! Thx 4 posting this live version of my best-fave Clash song! B-)

[irishace11]

Bob Dylan once said Mick Jones was so fucking good on the guitar it took two guys to replace him.

[finitenoir]

AWESOME!!!!!!!!! :)

[pvtparts33]

This is my favorite video on YouTube. Awesomeness simply emulates from Joe and Mick, I'm getting a heavy dosage of better-then-perfect music.

[scarface82us]

Joe Strummer = One cool mofo'

[timeforavirus]

Did Ron drink a beer ?

[timeforavirus]

SNL .... ?...

[danielscissorhands]

@timeforavirus You are correct, Sir!

[timeforavirus]

@danielscissorhandsKool I remember the show when I was young The Clash did two songs !..do you have the other?Thanks for the post ..The Clash the only band hat matters..I rated faved

[timeforavirus]

@danielscissorhands The Beer ?...in past Ron Howard played it straight and was always milk toast ..so on this show he grabs a beer opens and drinks it to prove that he was a man ..it was funny.. happy days yes and other shows ..I hope it ws this show

[nuwavegurl]

Thanks so much for sharing this. The Clash was too cool for words and this performance showcases this! We'll never see a band like them again!

[danielscissorhands]

@nuwavegurl Yes, they also did Should I Stay or Should I go. Maybe I'll upload that one too. Have to be careful cuz i already have 1 copyright strike - which means I can no longer upload videos as "unlisted" (semi-private).

:-P

Did Ron drink a beer? Umm... not sure. Maybe a couple. But I think he's just naturally hyper like that. lol. Did u ever watch happy days?

[bettyfelon1]

I love Mohawk Joe.

[DCott31]

Ron Howard's mustache is a con.

[TATER1971]

Thanks so much for uploading this incredible performance. Mick's on fire here..

[tripodswordfish]

Hello! Thanks so much for the upload. Do you happen to have the uncut version of the interview where Strummer is calling everything a con?? That is pure genius. Thanks!!

[danielscissorhands]

@tripodswordfish I wish! But that is how Much Music edited the interview when they originally aired it. So, you would have to somehow find the people at Much Music, in Canada, and see if anyone at the station has the entire interview. If you do, let me know!! Cheers. And you are welcome. :-) Ihave been thinking of re-doing this with a better quality version of the performance on SNL, but don't know if it will pass the copyrighters.

[tripodswordfish]

@danielscissorhands Thanks so much! I might just investigate.... I'll let you know if anything is promising. Yea, the quality isn't too bad though, all things considered, but never know what the copyrighters will catch :'/ But thanks again for the info!!

[abr0hamlincon]

is that david spade at the beginning

[danielscissorhands]

@abr0hamlincon lol... David Spade... you're joking right? What year do you think this is? It's Ron Howard.

[abr0hamlincon]

@danielscissorhands oh his hair was kinda like spades and i dont watch snl so i didn't know

[elojotivi]

The clash without Topper Headon It´s not the clash

[geekUSA101]

I think Strummer was annoyed with Mick in this performance

[Marlowe711]

Such an amazing song, probably one of their best. It almost seems like a fitting end to the Clash, the only band that mattered.

[TheLindsayBarrett]

Jones is a dancing machine.

Anyway, one of my favorite Clash songs. The other favorites are all the rest.

[charlesncharge]

i know people have said it before but it's amazing how this particular variety show has gone from life-changing, amazing music like the clash to justin bieber

[pjool]

THANK YOU

[waynedaly100]

belushbi RIP,usa champion of punk,SNL

[waynedaly100]

this is sat night live, look at mick, what a wanker

[HHHHHHHHHDANI]

legend!!!!!!! for me!!!!! :)

[mediattackrecords]

all corporate music business is a POPULAR con and ROCK star sham.

[corkbender]

Music today is crap compared to this. Everything now is corporate American Idol crap.

[strummer77clash]

Thank you! I was looking for this. I guess I missed yours.

[deljr62]

The more I watch them, the more I miss them, but I can't stop watching.

[goonchistaw]

thx brilliant post.

[danielscissorhands]

@goonchistaw Thanks! I kind of regret not ripping a higher quality version of the snl performance off a dvd I have (instead of using a version I found online) and remixing it with those interviews. Might redo it, but i am scared of getting copyright strikes. I already have one. And it means I am not allowed to post "unlisted" videos on this account.

ps: check out my joe strummer interview on my channel. :-D

[calboy64]

@danielscissorhands that was absolute class,,,last great performance,from the mighty real clash....

[danielscissorhands]

@calboy64 Well technically not the "real Clash." I did my research, and that's Terry Chimes on drums. He replaced Topper in April of 1982, and the Clash appeared on SNL in October of 1982. Then Pete Howard replaced Terry Chimes in Feb/March of 1983. But then again, Terry was their original drummer. So I guess you could still call it the real Clash. :)

[Rhinoincas]

how fucking koooooool do they look...the band of my life...

[cagonzalez1965]

I watch this video, and can't help but miss those days, and REALLY miss Joe...GAWD he practically died gigging...a true artist......

[SuperPunk1995]

the proper fender line up!!!!

[Kingrob30]

Far superior to a perfomance I saw on SNL of this song!

[silkcity19]

@Kingrob30 This was from SNL

[Kingrob30]

@silkcity19 thanks

[crashstah]

finally found this !!!THE CLASH ROCK

[PBANDSNOW]

I think Topper would have like this :(

[PBANDSNOW]

Whats Mick says at 5:00 is more true now than then

[kirkeat]

One of my favorite live performances of this song. This and the one on their live album.

[grimmmm1]

M.I.A. sampled this song with paper planes-only sad part is that when i play this people say wtf?

[danielscissorhands]

@grimmmm1 Well then you are talking to people who don't know very much about music, I guess. Or, good music that is. Yeah, I know the MIA song Paper Planes. It's ok.

[grimmmm1]

@danielscissorhands Bankrobber is probably my favorite

[PBANDSNOW]

"Even rock and roll is a con" It is now joe

[JanineRobin]

In the dictionary under "cool", it says "see Joe Strummer"

[rp61wasinnocentok]

@PBANDSNOW It ain't so rare these days mate, it has been circulating now for many years. They did 2 tracks during this SNL appearance, the other ttrack was Should I Stay Or Should I Go.

[beehands]

nice dance, red suit.

[TheCelticsrock34]

if anyone dislikes this video here's what i have to say "There aint no need for ya go straight to hell boy." R.I.P Joe

[silkcity19]

YouTube always removes this video due to copy write, hope it stays up for a while

[drstevie]

great performance.. .!proud of this England band

[jakestooge34]

I own a copy of this SNL episode on VHS with this song. I played it over and over again.

[ckyskater456]

Finally,its about damn time!

[paulcityrocker]

[danielscissorhands]

@paulcityrocker yw. thanks for thanking me :-) those interviews were very influentialfor me as a teenager.
