The Clash - White Man in Hammersmith Palais- Capitol Theater

[ManagFTW66]

miss you joe...RIP and ROCK

[RaptureandZune]

The video quality is... VERY punk.

[804safety]

nothing beats the old clash...cheers from canada

[theclash181]

and the beauty of it all is that you can't understand a word he says

[theclash181]

Interesting quality... must have been very old. Great vid

[JulieFromDrugSquad]

The best song in music history. I have no other words to describe how brilliant this song is.

[rottharn666]

BEST SONG !!!

[rottharn666]

best song !!

[TheClashUSA]

Thx for posting this. I always loved this song.

[10feetoverhead]

Amazing that what they're singing about has so much relevance in our world today. We need some kicLoLk ass mf'ers like this to thump us in the head every now and then. Long live the Clash.

[gmartinz01]

"If Adolf Hitler flew in today / they'd send a limousine anyway." Ol' Joe didn't know how right he was. Not Adolf of course, he's dead, but Ahmadinejad gets invited to speak at Columbia University, the murderous Russian gangsters get to buy sports teams, and our slave-labor Chinese overlords get to dictate our loan repayments. What's a little oppression and civil rights abuses among friends, eh?

[21Bucfan]

@gmartinz01

You said it perfectly. I have nothing to add.

[iwantcompletecontrol]

@gmartinz01 Well aside from the fact that Joe was talking about the UK & not the US... You conveniently forget that US is one of the biggest oppressors & civil rights abusers out there. Joe sang just as much about that as anything else, if not more: "Yankee dollar talk to the dictators of the world, in fact it's giving orders and they can't afford to miss a word" / "Reign of the superpowers must be over...Africa is choking on their Coca Cola" / "Giving deadly exhibitions of murder by napalm" etc

[gmartinz01]

@iwantcompletecontrol I couldn't agree more. The fact that homosexuals and political dissidents are routinely jailed without the right of habeus corpus just infuriates . . . oh, wait, that's Cuba. That being said, you're kind of missing my point (and if Joe was alive, I don't think he'd say HIS point was just about the UK): we still get in bed with the devil whenever we decide it's expedient to do so.

[iwantcompletecontrol]

@gmartinz01 Well Congress just passed a bill that allows the president to jail, indefinitely & without habeus corpus, any US citizen accused of "terrorism," so I guess we're not that much better than Cuba after all. Funny enough, Guantanamo Bay is in Cuba (we come full circle!). I know the point you were trying to make, & I don't necessarily disagree or anything, I just thought the way you worded it implied that the US doesn't commit the same atrocities these countries do, when in fact it does.

[wookiewhat]

@gmartinz01 Joe was referring to the racism, fascism and nationalism that was growing in England at the time.

[pitchforkcustom]

cookin' . ignore alien orders stickers all round

[nimatek667]

why not phone up robin hood? and why not starting to kick out their f'ing teeth? it can't go on like this forever

[kid56us]

I was at this show! This song remains a found memory. Thank you for posting this!

[DominionOfTheSword]

It's a shame, you'd never get a band like this tehse days- the industry would kill it even if the punters didn't rip them on stage. People are too busy pretending to be cool- in burton suits!

[johnsain]

[Kayno1975]

THE clash song. It changed everything. Damn Simo is too cool for school :)

[DeadJ0ker27]

I'm so glad I didn't have see a comment complaining about todays pop music.

The Clash ROCK!

[Terrra91]

Paul was my idol at like 13. Him an Sid but Sid didnt play reggae so...

[RockinBlues4]

@Terrra91 Paul is the bass player king for me ;)

[Terrra91]

@RockinBlues4 Yeh man the coolest man to ever strap on a bass

[RockinBlues4]

@Terrra91 hell yeah

[MsGORGONS]

@Terrra91 did Sid play anything??

[Terrra91]

@MsGORGONS Bass-pretty badly. He was apparently really willing to learn at the start but when Nancy came he went downhill and started becoming a full on heroin addict. His bandmates used to turn his amp off before gigs as a joke because he was so smacked up they knew he wouldnt notice.

[MsGORGONS]

@Terrra91 - yes you are right...it's all a bit sad cos I find some intelligence in Sid even if he comes across as dangerous the moment he got heroin into his life...he just went down hill and we all know how it ended. He was Rotten dear friend and MacLaren destroyed him but Sid let Spungii destroy him first...I saw his bass in a shop in London...it was priceless I don't think the shop didn't even want to sell it. Thanks

[beowulven]

@MsGORGONS

"Dangerous" or "lame"? Nancy begged to die, remember...

[FatalBazuka]

love this song in the gym man !

[IDAihk]

Best song ever <3

[goonchistaw]

midnight to six ,.,.,.,.

[jimdemovie]

what a great song!! j-up-jim..i agree totally with you...lets all shut the f**k up and just listen to what is probably one of the best song ever...ENJOY!!!

[neilsthomo]

My most favourite Clash tune ever.All the best Woody

[taxmonkey123]

If Adolf Hitler flew in today, they'd send a limousine anyway.

[jamesupjimmy]

let's not be gimps and talk about politics whilst such a good song is being played OK??

[hope2beable]

For fuck sake look at Noam Chomsky and John Pilger on you tube-Clash only band ever to broadcast politics we had't heard about-the important bits-miss you Joe

[skitzey]

tones of bands talk about politics, not just the clash

[TheJohndoe63]

hey dust wot makes the world go round....us lossers that take time 2 vote..thats democ scary,,,,,,,,

[fremsley1]

clicked wrong thumb should be green Comatoid .your right

[comatoid]

The Clash was all about talking politics, lets not ever stop what they set out to bring into our eyes

[als660]

Great Song, Great band!! No political shit!!Behave yourselves!!!

[nikkikmoo]

Let's leave the comments to stuff regarding the Clash, this conversation is so off-topic its not even funny

[killtodayscountry]

atomic you can thank the bushes and fox news for all that brainwashing.awsome song by the clash

[xmisspnutinix]

Joe Strummer Tribute Gig, King Tuts Wah Wah Hut Tomorrow!

Shall be amazing. Rip Joe

[finniedog]

Raw and Pure!

[suhiir]

When I was young in the late '70s. I didn't agree with ALL of their politics, but I could recognize the quality of their music and the sincerity of their intent. As I've aged I've even come to see them as prophetic, even as my personal politics come to be much more like theirs.

What I'm trying to say is that the power of their music and the spirit of their message reinforce each other.

Bottom Line: The CLASH rules.

[gmartinz01]

"If Adolf Hitler flew in today / they'd send a limousine anyway." Yes, they would, and yes they did. I'm sure Mr. Ahmandinajad rode in comfort when he went to speak at Columbia University.

[atomic116090]

The same comfort as Obama and Bush get? In your perception evil lies in the east, just because you're raised with lies, learn to be objective

[gmartinz01]

OK, I'll be objective:  "We will drive Israel into the sea." "We have no homosexuals in Iran." "We are working to remove all the secular professors from the University of Tehran." Looking at these statements of the great little man, I'd be inclined to think he's a repressive, reactionary thug. But I could be wrong; perhaps he was just lying.

[luchiluchiano]

at leat you're smart and using your head. Atomic116090 is also making good points. Ignorance paved the way to Auschwitz

[thejackroller]

Replace Israel with Islam and that sounds a lot like a speech by an evangelical republican. Perception is key to our understanding of the world. I for one, believe democracy is an illusion in the USA, but don't listen to me, look up the facts from a non biased source and see what you think.

[atomic116090]

And what about those terrorists in Washington? They use the whole world as their playground, they let innocent youth fight out their anger on society, feeding children growing up with propaganda and describing them the world as a stage of evil, where only america is pure and kind. Whatever happend to thinking for yourselves?

[craig77776]

@atomic116090: yh you're right I mean the taliban does'nt really exist

[atomic116090]

the taliban are a political movement in afghanistan, it is not our concern and it does not form a threat to us.

[craig77776]

"Attempting to achieve world peace will b the final battle that would lead to a democratic world" In other words world peace can only b achieved through democracy&cooperation the Taliban r trying 2 disrupt democratic elections in Afghanistan as their attacks on the polling stations show this is not cooperating. They r blowing up soldiers who r trying to achieve peace in Afghanistan&bring the country back 2 relative civilisation.Thus they r a threat 2 the world peace and therefore a threat to us

[craig77776]

They also play a major role in the heroin industry, shipping it over 2 the streets of our cities. Where I live there r many heroin addicts who keep the crime figures up as they do what ever it takes 2 get the drug. Also another Far East threat is al Qaeda. Anyway you said that In your perception evil lies in the east" and my point was that it isnt just our "perception, it really does exist in the far east.

[78topper]

You have a very immature understanding of world politics.

We never thought the taliban were "good guys". They were simply at war with our enemy, so we helped them.

Nothing more than that.

And now you regurgitate the current leftist mantra that we are at war for oil. If this was true, and we are stealing all the middle east oil, why have gas prices actually risen since we invaded iraq and afghanistan?

hmmmmm....

Guess your little theory does not hold up too well.

[78topper]

Once again, you need to actually read something and stop spouting the crap they shoved down your throat in school.

It is laughable to think that the US or the UK has any sway over the OPEC countries. They do not act in our interests, or to our advantage. Never have,.

So answer me this, if oil is our motivation, why are we in Afghanistan? They have none.

Please think for yourself. The answers are not as simplistic as your liberal teachers have told you they were.

[78topper]

@Dustontheroad

You can answer or not, makes no difference to me. I just want to try to help deprogram you.

I will not respond again, as others are correct this board should not be about politics.

[pbl1]

well everyone else sees a problem, so shut the fuck up ass clown

[craig77776]

Whether you agree or not that it is a threat to us or not the Taliban is an evil movement that is based in the far east, and you basically agreed with that when you said the Taliban is not our threat suggesting that it does pose a threat to some people. I hope all it comes out clear

[atomic116090]

It is not evil, it is a culture you do not understand, and your government has profits making it sound like an evil movement, but it's not.

I study communication and history always repeats its self, do you remember the lies the american government spread about baby murders by iraqi's, back in the '90's?

[craig77776]

"Evil, in many cultures, is a broad term used to describe what are seen as subjectively harmful deeds that are labeled as such to steer moral support". true evil is Killing innocent people, its a "harmful deed".If your perception of evil is people who dont believe in your god then it is a false perception, we live in the 21st centuary we have become more civilised and no longer kill those who disagree with us. often child molesters were molested as kids, they see it as normal but its still wrong

[atomic116090]

You're missing my point.. Our opinion is being influenced by so many media and parties. We get a map of a certain reality, but this is just a simple map made by the hands of men. This view the map gives us is no reality, just an extract of it. "The map is not the territory." How can we say we know the truth about cultures as the taliban if we are only givin a 'map' of them? There is no way anyone of us knows any objective reality of these cultures.

[BigPreme74]

comparing adolf hitler to ahmandinajad is a bit silly and by a bit silly I mean very f+cking silly.

[SaulSantiagoable]

@BigPreme74 Why

[ldestouches]

i'm the all night drug prowling wolf who looks so sick in the sun

[TheDyved]

there has never been a better band, this song is a part of history

[mdricha]

Sex Pistols were a fashion band..the Clash mattered.

[pussypop100]

@yes you are right the pistols were the punk boy band 

[tilly15773]

@mdricha aint that the truth!

[raq757uplayer]

@mdricha Word mate. Pistols were fucking posers.

[PBANDSNOW]

@mdricha thats not true dude,one of joe strummers most famous lines were "After seeing the sex pistols, i realized that the 101ers had no future, and my feet had finally hit the ground" no pistols, no clash

[BartyFDT]

@mdricha EXCELLENT!

[pittrek81]

Great video. Where can I find the whole gig ? Was it officially released or is it on some bootleg ?

[JCR101393]

R.I.P. joe strummer

[davidennis1]

[elvis316]

No elvis beatles or the rolling stones. never mind my screen name--this is the only band that matters.

RIP Joe, the last of the punk rock warlords.

[RachtheDroog]

This is the best song ever written...

[clash78]

[clashfreak4]

this is so good so I don't know what to say. It's unbeliveble

[campkllyorself]

there is really nothing negative to say about anything this band made.joe strummer is the fuckin man

[kwakky]

uh, what about "cut the crap"?

[TFDumont]

Touché!

Sort of... Only half the classic Clash were there so you can only say half bad about something they did!

I think...

[Markko144]

wiseguytaft you are clearly out to offend

[c341045]

[nuclearskies06]

If Adolf Hitler flew in today, they'd send a limousine anyway- Best line ever.

With "White youth, Black youth, better find another solution", yeah.

[riotdave]

no doubt

[ferro0404]

[dartpunk]

Best song ever.

[Caligula138]

NEW JERSEY! FTW! The only band that matters...

[Lieutenantsexmachine]

[petekelly61]

[strummer2006]

Joe Strummer's favorite Clash song, it was played at his funeral. RIP Joe.

[zekohonda]

the best stong, of the best band ever :)

[mynameisnotalfredo]

This is my favorite Clash song. Bob Marley must have smiled the first time he heard this song; a bunch of white punk rockers rocking reggae beats! Clash rock on eternally!

[VenusImperius]

Oh yeah, Marley knew the Clash were trying to stick it to the man

[decker1026]

CORRECT MY FRIEND

[VivaLaSexPistols]

This song is the Ruby of Strummer's career.

[mtw1945]

Dillinger and Leroy Smart.....Roots Rockers!!!!!!

[wilbur45]

The Clash, The Sex Pistols, The Monkees...all put together by management...what bands do after they get together is what matters...

[clashfreak4]

the only band that matters! fuck sex pistols

[Markko144]

.......

[GDrulz]

fucking true.

[Markko144]

i dunno the clash are very good but without the sex pistols around they the whole thing wouldnt have been as effective towards society.

[skitzey]

tru dat blud

[nameherejony]

The Clash had real meaning in their song, politically fueled lyrics. The Sex Pistols were a bunch of morons who managed to produce a few hits.

[themisfitskickass]

they managed to produce a whole great album.

[truerange]

The only farkin band that ever matters is who they are...

Punk ROCKAS!

[nameherejony]

A whole lot better.. only band that ever mattered.

[Caligula138]

The Pistols were almost a Novelty act...
