The Call Up- The Clash

[TheRealCritique]

I wasn't planning on joining the military, although academies had been discussed. Reagan and the Clash and stinky war footage helped me realize otherwise...

[coolconfuzer]

fuck this version EVERYONE NEES TO HEAR IT LIVE FROM BONDS! Fucking EPIC!

[cherrielane69]

awesome...that's all I can say...as drgrl said a year ago the band speaks for itself!

[wcleighty]

best-dressed band every (McCartney's sweater in "MMT" - close second)

[dmunozg]

Tiu filmeto estis referencita de Miĉijo, en la esperanta retejo lernu.net. La temo estas bona, kaj estas interese vidi, ke Miĉijo ŝatas ion el Britujo... post ĉio, kion li diris pri tiu lando...

Amike,

Daniel

[swakful]

i bought 12 inch single of this song.

i heard 2 versin of this song.

refrain and refrain.

minimum music.

progressive rock.

[elvis316]

The only band that matters. Great vid, thanks for posting.

[firetaker25]

Are you a clothes dresser?

[AnSpailpinFanach]

Dear GOD. I can only conclude that not only music and politics but also FASHION died with this band.

No, no--Mick ca. BAD still looked roughly like that, and Paul is still...Paul. We're good. Carry on, world, carry on.

...What's with the spotted hankie tied to Joe's arm?

[firetaker25]

You've probably never heard of "costume?"

[AnSpailpinFanach]

Erm...you mean that clothy stuff one drapes oneself in, memory permitting, before one leaves the house in the morning? I thought that was called a shower curtain.

[125Smokey]

I heard they got to raid a military surplus store for their clothes in this video, which leads me to ask why Topper would pick the huge puffy bomber jacket. He must've been boiling.

[iamlovedbysomeone]

Haha, yeah. And then there's Mick!

[125Smokey]

Mick's getup is flat out ridiculous in this video. Of course, in the best way imaginable... I think.

[iamlovedbysomeone]

Yeah, you can't help but love it! In the end, they look the epitome of what they were. They definitely look each their own personality and you gotta appreciate that!

[coolconfuzer]

hey guys if you like this clash song so much you REALLY need to give a listin to this song live at bonds. Its gotta be the greatest fucking song ever recorded by a soundboard.

[Ramshaki]

I Dont find the tabs, somebody have the guitar tabs, i only have the bass tabs

[adzug]

the biggest threat to peace is america. see blackwater and the new laws. mercenaries( contractors ha ha ha

0 arent liable for murder in iraq. no matter who bthey kill or wat they do

[Jaihadist]

Really, if topper wasn't a smack addict and Joe didn't fire mick, what would of happened?

[JOKAMAJA]

Bunch of pussies.

The Muslims are coming to and attempting to kill the West and Obama & company still intends to clarify and pacify and apologize. The CLASH where a great band. Until 1982.

[wtfjunkie]

The Army is just full with kid's with guns. Well lost education.

[missarsenalgunner]

One of their best! Don Letts did a good job with the video...

[RoCk0ApPLE]

J'aime tellement cette song :)

[Keumii56]

Marche dans la rue en écoutant.

V'la le pouvoir qu'elle a truc de fouu.

[G13Raider]

Best Clash song...Ever!!

[poodle720]

this one and Police and thieves

[pele6922]

kleinjopie: i was responding to someone who was asking if joe strummer had died, that was my point.

[killahkoreah]

WAY AHEAD OF THEIR TIME!!!

[loveslatinas]

ya dude they were. R.I.P. TONY BERNARD AND JOE STRUMMER.

[killahkoreah]

Im only 26, but this music is still so relavent to whats going today... Thats what makes some groups and artist timeless.

[dalbxix]

i migliori!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[fatcat669]

hes talkin to you jon....

seeya in the jungle

[pele6922]

too many causes and not enough rebels.

[katinasvenska]

One of the great songs of revolution and rebelllion for all it is worth....

[M4Nmbr56]

What Revolution and rebellion are YOU talking about???LMAOF

[katinasvenska]

The one that never happened smart arse-like all art it is only expressing an ideal but maybe you are too stupid to realize that...

[krisisrad]

what do you mean? the call up was like a draft. that's rebellion. duh! and revolution, that was what the clash were pretty much about. that's why punk sucks right now because no one wants any kind of revolution, when there needs to be one in this day and age.

[track8fodderstompf]

Its weird that they released this as a single.... It should of been Charlie Dont Surf instead, or lightening strikes...

Its still a guurrd song from the Clash's best album : )

[devilshaircut9]

Such a good album that I bought the vinyl LP and then later when it came out on CD's I got that too.

Great to hear this now!

[rebjiii]

i agree...this was strange choice for a single.....was 'police on my back' a single?

[sarasvati97]

Love their sound. Love them.

[Senayansoldier]

Did Nine Inch Nails sample this?

[peesoup]

wtf is mick wearing? he looks like Tarzan Arafat ......

[theenglishcivilwar]

actually that's true!! ^^

[fancymonster]

Tarzan Arafat! He he....

[Dork1234angusyoung]

yeah he does

bad fashion choice

[swe92clash]

it´s up to you not hear the call up R.I.P Joe

[katinasvenska]

Did he die???Lead singer

[krisisrad]

joe strummer, yes he died of a heart attack in 2002. maybe 03 i forget

[Dork1234angusyoung]

December 22,2002

[pele6922]

joe strummer died

[kleinjopie]

So did Elvis...Janis ..Jim..Jimi ..john...George..Miles..James.­.Bob..Sid..Keith..whats ur point!!

[Ramshaki]

Because Joe wrote I Dont Wanna Die, thats the point, lol

Hahaha has been pased 2 monts after your comment, cheers xD

[mapache11]

I have to laugh when, after seeing RIP Joe, and things of that sort dozens of times, someone still asks "Is he dead?"..stop wasting our time and use Google for fuck sakes.

[Volbeat1010]

PUNK ROX

R.I.P Joe Strummer

[crazylikeafool]

amazing how their talent was so ahead of their time... amazing!

[china027]

Love that beat!Great song!

[hamjamnspamalot]

every time......EVERY time...there's that note (whammy bar?) that's placed after the line ".....maybe I wanna see the wheatfields.....over Kiev and down to the sea...".....it hits my heart...and the way Joe sings it.....duff video....but awesome awesome song...RIP JOE STRUMMER we miss you in Australia!!!!

[Koleaan]

Yah, the chord you are talking about does use a whammy bar for that part. I know what you mean though

[theenglishcivilwar]

yeah, that makes the same thing to me (sorry for my english) when he says "there is a rose that I wanna live for" and specially "who gives you work, and why should you do it?"

[Pele2269]

love the clash-never heard this song tho--i need to put this in my coby ;-))

[andymac1873]

THE CLASH ROCK

[fergiesredarmy2007]

enrique iglesias?? go suck his fuckin dick and leave 'real music' to the proper music fans. Great great band

[hitsagai]

fucking awesome

[profitprophet368]

RIP Joe

[gkaplan2000]

sandinista is patchy at best. some great songs, but also some dross

[SpazzyNimrod]

is it just me or does joe look different in this? skinnier or younger or somethin.

[OceaniaTisForThee]

mmmm... alien cum....

[lobdsk]

comments are dumb and I don't know why I read them. Its kind of like reading the tabloids at the supermarket

[fugitive29]

are ya gettin' all lost in the comments?

[vanillafudgecheese]

Can you no longer read happily?

Thanks for the great video!

[drgrl]

All comments about The Clash, no matter how positive , are puny compared to the power of the music and the performance itself. The band speaks for itself; and that's all you need to know.

[Hasjiesman]

Wees opstandig tegen iedere vorm van onderdrukking,corruptie en de gevestigde orde van bureaucraten en woekeraars

[postergaard]

Sandinista is the most important Clash album, because it has show the way to so many other bands. Sandinista was a moment in time. Something that to me will never be replaced.

[00Indy]

what were they thinking when they did sandanista? it was just terrible, i mean this song is great, almost. it would be better if they hadnt put in the chimes or whatever in the background, but i wasnt alive at the time so i dont really know if that was the spirit of the times but still

[tedGEGI]

was lucky enough to see the clash here in San Diego at the concourse center way back in Sept. 1983---joe had his mohawk look, they had just released their Combat Rock album----they were great,will never be surpassed

[cpj93070]

combat rock had been out since may of 82 mate so over a year and the classic clash would have broken up by then.

[FloydBeatWhoLedStoog]

the clash are the best punk band

[01011101010001111010]

My mistake... that was for another video... THATS AMAZING!!... nice song and AWESOME BAND!

[tranquilbluesky]

i always like this one not sure why

[intrablue08]

nice outfit mick.

[Warren4rock4now]

if it was any other band that outfit would've been auctioned for a shitload lol

[hullmaskin]

LOL @ YOU, raknrollin-

do you know what real music is?

i bet you sit there listening to your own fart all day... the clash are the best, and you cant handle it, you bitch.

[MermaidzAurora]

..some ones getting a call up.. from some one soon.. :)

[cwegers]

love you joe

[slapcatz]

THE CLASH---> ALL THE WAY Best band ever, we truly miss you Joe Strummer, R.I.P Rock the cashbah! Rock the cahbah!!

[raknrollin]

IT STINKS ! P.U. !!!!!!

Gay pretentious posers. sell-outs.

No talent coward drug crazed irresponsible idiots. 80's bull ! MTV crap.

[dairyflat]

You're a funny guy. I like the way you balance that chip on your shoulder! ;)

[Jualmas1990]

fuck you.

[intrablue08]

[01011101010001111010]

Fuckin' Dick-head

[Erickaf]

[hairymary1962]

whats wrong with you has somebody taken your sweets, you sound like a lot of fun you sad lonely distorted prick ,go out and see if you can find a friend

[PompadourPlanet]

does anyone know wher i can get a FSLN bandana?

[Kraftysot]

Commies arent known for thier marketing.

Live in the south eastern united states? I might be able to get you one.

[PompadourPlanet]

[childofthe80s1981]

oh yay Sony gets their way as usual yet another artist that can't be shared on websites

[heathrow998]

maybe I wanna see the wheatfields........

greatest rock vid of all time!!

[FruityMcGayMan]

I am the gayest person on the TUBE

[meredumais]

Congratulations, from the bottom of my heart, if that's your goal ! I'm sure Joe would say the very same thing with complete sincerity if he were still around...R.I.P., Joe. You're my hero. And I play this song for my teenage sons regularly...

[raknrollin]

I guess they would hide in the basement when the nazi bastards bombed london.

[hairymary1962]

just as well you have a computer to hide behind because you wouldnt last long without one you scum bag

[FruityMcGayMan]

Awesome

[raknrollin]

VOMIT

[FruityMcGayMan]

Hey raknrollin why did you subscribe to me?

[Gadolinium158]

This is one of my favorite songs by The Clash. People don't seem to realize how musically diverse this band is and consequently ,this song isn't as popular as I would expect.

RIP Joe Strummer. You will be dearly missed

[pestyy]

I agree, The Clash's songs differ so much. And for the good of music. This exposes their deep talent and overlooked by the fucking AOR media.

[poodle720]

a classic

[alli294]

Rare to see this one anymore! Thanks for posting it! Classic! RIP Joe.

[mushroomheadsquish]

Check out my video for "Ghetto Defendant". Just put it up the other day. Cheers. Long live Joe Mellor. RIP.

[Bobbyb9331]

the only band ThaT MATTERS

[LittleAngryTeddy]

you can never go wrong with classic clash, legendas never die.

[samjosrob]

Just found out there was a video when i looked up the song on Wikipedia. I love this song, and this band!

[LittleAngryTeddy]

classic clash, can't go wrong

[bronk17]

you must not act the way you were brought up--So true--currently, where are artists that make us think deeply the way the Clash did? I don't wanna kill. Peace

[xJakeShagpilex]

Fucking legend

[longdistancecaller]

"Can't sing about career opportunities any more can we?"...so they just took on the fucking world. SANDINISTA!

[clashgurl07]

The Greatest Band Ever and Forever!!

Long live the Clash!!!!!

[cj93070]

totally serious they are one of the best bands ever.

[cj93070]

totally serious they are one of the best bands ever.

[clapton1958]

Twat. Even as a joke, that's just shit. Think of something better next time.

[jerryloupenguin]

then why are you watching it?

[cj93070]

totally serious they are one of the best bands ever.

[cj93070]

totally serious they are one of the best bands ever.

[meredumais]

Thank you so much for this. I've always loved the song; never knew there was a video. Their work is so beautifully,permanently relevant...

[Slicric13]

SANDI-FUCKIN-ESTA!!!!!!!!!!!

[tfo0427]

i declare paul simonon the best bassist ever.

[clashgurl07]

and the hottest!!!!!

[almacrowe1999]

Clash's greatest era, "Sandanista!" is so under-rated. Love the instrumental version of this too, on "superblackmarketclash." Check it!

[Slicric13]

There is a town

[msut14]

"Maybe a wanna see the wheatfields..."

Thank you CLASH, and RIP Joe...

[ljwright1]

An exceptional song from an exceptional band!

R.I.P. Joe

[olgaicannot]

I love this song. I love The Clash.

[jeligula]

RIP Joe Strummer

[SandstormFreedom]

"There is a rose..."

That whole chorus is very Dark Tower -esque. Interesting that this was the album I listened to while reading those books.

[steelyman40]

I have to say........great welding jobs on the truck and the I-beam beside mr Strummer and the hand rails the draft dodger grabs...hell all of the welding is perfect in this video! I can't put my finger on why the metallurgy on the siren isn't quite right, though...does anyone know if this is a prop or a real siren?

[clapton1958]

Haha, jesus christ you're like I am when it comes to analysing how a guitar has been built ... completely obsessive! Good job, man.

[rs646583]

rip joe derbypunk

[BiSiouxsie]

great band great song i love it, so mysterious

[fedsom]

you mean the fact that its an anti-Draft song confuses you?

[BiSiouxsie]

but you speak to me ? i don't understand

anyway yes i guess (supposed from the text)that....

[zombiejuice]

I love this song

the straps on Mick's hat piss me off

[JohnEpi1973]

...over kiev , down to the seas...

[heathrow998]

maybe I wanna see the wheat fields......

[heathrow998]

best rock vid of all friggin time

[GRAFITTI76]

One of the greatest songs- what do you give me,warn me about?: Georg Orwell 1984, marked capitalism, to be in an army of imperialist soldier.

Joe Strummer, comme back soon again, we need you, - socalism is here to stay, it is worth fighting for

[jsp9ph]

Best song they made.Magic.1980 first time seen the vid.

[Happydozer]

Remember this guys, we are still in a war. Don't heed President "Shit-for-brains" call up. Don't heed his call up for a war for oil.

[flagg7000]

right on! good to know there are still people in this country who have the intelligence to oppose authority and appreciate good music.

[tattyjan]

this and justice tonight are the two best clash songs

[pfonyt]

The best Clash's songs are all of their songs, and all of their songs are greatest song of all time! It's quite simple to make a list of their worst songs (the B-side of Cut The Crap IMO).

One of Joe's favourites was "(White Man) In Hammersmith Palais". If I was obliged to make a choice, now I choose "London Calling" or "Armagideon Time" or infinite other songs of THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS!

[Eskimooiler]

Sad... so sad.. I miss this time.... I miss Joe.

[ekili11]

this is so great

[6sidesofsandinista]

This is one of my favorite CLASH tunes. I didn't know there was a video for this song. Thanks for sharing this with me. The best 5:05 of my day so far! Thanks again.

[ladybarrett]

'There is a rose that I want to live for...'

[jimbo9998823]

'He who will die - is He who will kill..'

[WhiteBoy41]

Marching song. Killer !!!! Rock !
