[jpx08]

[verucapunk]

@jpx08 apparently teeny boppy retards. the Clash is awesome!!!!! they're too busy jerking off to justin bieber and gelling their hair i guess, phuqin freaks

[Evan42881]

Happy Birthday Joe!

[MusicLoveMe1352]

Joe Strummer has my birthday.

On August 21

And I live in London

So Londons Calling

Calling EVERY DAY!!!!!

[ystme]

(Posted by Youtube Stream for iPhone (yst.me) on behalf of onajienergy at twitter)

[TheDragon803]

London called and the young people answered...who's next?

[Panzertank11]

Wonder how many times this was played before hooligans went out rioting

[nhadz16]

so this is now the theme song for the riot happening in London...

[MrBigwong]

The big bankers suck -- and so do, at times -- the cops. But that's no excuse to destroy immigrant businesses and damage the bodies and property of the innocents.

Misdirected rage is a sad, pathetic thing to behold. Fuck the riots!

[RonPaulRepublic]

England is in terrible debt, and these riots are a taste test compared to whats going to happen when the US has currency problems.

[mario23412]

So you got to let me know rioters; should London stay or should London go?

[ffunch]

Ah, Sony Music Entertainment. I'll make a point of not buying anything they sell.

[ffunch]

And who's "SME" who can decide that this video shouldn't be available in my country? Please put them out of business, whoever they are.

[BoboConan]

This live?

[ckyy2j]

The riot reminded me of this

[mustwinder]

@ckyy2j London Burning? Weird, the first thing I thought of when I heard about the riots was this song.

[ckyy2j]

@mustwinder Yeah thats what I'm saying, when I first saw in the news that there was a riot in London I just said "London Calling" and walked away

[mustwinder]

@ckyy2j For me, it was probably just a matter of being a product of the 70's and 80's. I'm not a huge Clash fan but they had some very good songs, this is one of them.

[ckyy2j]

@mustwinder I got yea, and yeah the Clash did have a few mainstream hits, despite being a true punk band

[Knepperify1]

@ckyy2j

The whole week was most of their songbook. White Riot, What's My Name, Career Opportunities, London Calling, Guns of Brixton, The Prisoner, White Man in HS Palais, London's Burning, Tommy Gun, Safe European Home, Hateful, Lost in the Supermarket, Revolution Rock, English Civil War...

The Clash wrote the riots back in 1976-1979.

[KingSlimjeezy]

@Knepperify1 too true, but then again it wasnt the first time London burned...

[southfest09]

@ckyy2j london was calling and some people is answered hm. who is going to pay for this call?

[gividen51]

@ckyy2j I know, Joe warned of exactly what happened, what, 30 years ago. Nothing changes. Ah well, we have the Clash. Guns of Brixton, Paul's masterpiece came to my mind as well.

[shepanrontyron]

Sorry this song has now become reality.

England sucks!

Shame on you!

You've disappointend me so much!

Disgusting!

[Kate2476]

@shepanrontyron maybe you dont realize that the cops are killing people right in front of their families, people are sick of a corrupt police force..

[shepanrontyron]

@Kate2476

Thanks for telling. I wasn't aware of that.

Good to know, and sad to know.

[sarraeee]

it's like a premonition

[akparker1]

Now War is Declared!!!

[connie5732]

the official marketing song for the London olympics. Dunno what Joe Strummer would think of this.

[west3406]

long live punk. pop can suck cock

[x0ticShwty]

@clutchlongboarding copy and paster

[bighouseboy7]

is it just me or is it quite ironic the 2012 olympics are using this song in their ads

[Zooroonies]

this song reminds me of clockwork orange, lol i don't know why

[IndianaParkWars]

@Zooroonies cause its awesome

[Zooroonies]

this is real punk

[gunnergrunt69]

316 Justin Bieber fans can't handle real music.

[llHuckleBuddyll]

@gunnergrunt69

9,305 people should only visit this video for three important purposes, which is to view, listen, and post comments that relates ONLY to The Clash.

[gunnergrunt69]

@llHuckleBuddyll take a chill pill and relax. It's called humor. Try some, I think you'll like it.

[llHuckleBuddyll]

@gunnergrunt69

I will NOT relax until people completely stops mentioning that untalented twit on every fucking CLASSIC.

So please just leave him be so could eventually be gone and forgotten, just like the rest of them crappy money marketing tools.

[mashui99]

@llHuckleBuddyll All they're doing is giving him free advertising, i seriously wish they would shut the fuck up about him. He has nothing to with The Clash, or punk, or rock at all for that matter.

[gunnergrunt69]

@llHuckleBuddyll I use him as the worst insult I can find without resorting to cussing. Once again chill out. If you are tired of seeing people writing stuff on here you don't agree with then by all means STOP FUCKING READING THEM!!!!!

[jacarandas82]

Love it!

[albenizski]

how can they dislike this? because they clicked it haha im the only one laughing hehe

[KingPurcival]

London is calling someone please answer the phone.

[fatkids4sale]

315 dont like good music

[dterzyan]

FUCK YEA! :D

[therat36]

Music in 2011 needs a Joe strummer!! Just like it did in 1979 ...

Oh yeah and as Joe said "always question authority"!!!!!!!!!

[chrstnlmllr51]

God that bass line

[BlondAmericanAnarchy]

London calling to the zombies of death. Maybe my favorite line in all of rock.

[StraitjacketAirsoft]

@BlondAmericanAnarchy "i eat more chicken than any man ever seen" -the doors. back door man

[gunnergrunt69]

@BlondAmericanAnarchy I was surprised that they didn't use this on any zombie films.

[ContraversialPro]

Mick and Paul still got it, i saw them in the gorillaz tour and they were great.

[willardfreeman]

Good Lord, was it really 1977?

[BEARARMZ]

@willardfreeman this was 79-80

[frankwright3]

Rest in Peace, Joe Strummer.

[ybravura]

This song is so powerful that if you heard it once in 1977 and didn't hear it again until today, you'd recognize it immediately. How many songs by The Slut of the Year will be remembered 5 years from now?

[mashui99]

@ybravura That's the difference in being popular and actually being good.

[1976donzi]

@ybravura  Absolutely-----------God Save The Queen, Fascist Regime

[neokelt13]

@ybravura You got that right !!!!!!!!



[rg813]

@ybravura hahaha i thought you were saying "the slut of the year" was like a band or something.

[SterilizeThePopulace]

@ybravura I don't know why you said 1977 (it was '79). But your point is a good one.

[Donkeyhawk]

310 Nazis somehow found this page.

[actionfish]

the people who disliked this must be justin bieber fans

[blking928]

@actionfish They are probably saying "EWWWWWWW they are old and ugly"

[ILOVEGHOSTADVENTURES]

great song!!! every time i play it in the car, my brit friend says " point for brits"

[Panamsterdam]

This is my favorite song!

[ColorMeStupidxx]

why do so many amazing musicians have to die?!! :(

[bombtek33]

@ColorMeStupidxx drugs, alcohol, and treating your body like a cheap rental car for starters...

[heavymarwan97]

@ColorMeStupidxx because god wants awesome music in heaven!!

[SlamTheLabel]

@heavymarwan97 clever

[Jessieleeann]

R.I.P. Joe Strummer and Joey Ramone.

I love you.

[x85DogsOfWar85x]

i just noticed @ 0:30,the guitarist to the right has a gun tucked in his pants....thats awesome!!!!



[BEARARMZ]

@x85DogsOfWar85x holy shit!! ive seen this video like a million times and never noticed that! lmao

[hazeldogzzz]

nooooo

[hazeldogzzz]

awesome song for the movie billy eliot!!!

[redleader810]

306 people didn't get london's call



[luckygirl137ab]

I had a phone interview for a job at Pax Lodge, in London. I *had* to listen to this while I was waiting for that phone to ring :) Interview went well, might live and work there for 4 months, will find out next week. Then I have to listen to their song "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" :)

[BlondAmericanAnarchy]

Brilliant lyrics I swear.

[NicoleJ8]

love love love back off you haters

[bohs1984]

I hit the dislike button just to see if the world would spin off its axis and melt into the sun. It didn't, BUT IT SHOULD HAVE.

[andre270291]

When people say 'I could not live without X or Y band' it was because you would read the lyrics(since there was maybe one tv at home), and create a message out of it. Nowadays, there are no lyrics sheets, and not many people would look up the lyrics online. The world is going so fast that no one pays attention, as simple as that. This song is amazing, but you can't get it by just listening to it. You must read the lyrics and realize the powerful message that it contains.

[markd325]

Up for 5 years, and only 4.5 million views?! WTF! 

[sakusaku0707]

このＰＶ、ベストヒットＵＳＡ見たとき、すごい衝撃を受けました­。かっこよすぎて・・・今見てもかっこいい。

[dylan134]

hardcore superstar still im glad. used this vid for influence for their vid. practically the same video

[canudigit97]

1:07 I LIVE IN A VAN....

[dougiefreshny]

@canudigit97 down by the river

[LDJ96]

@dougiefreshny *Adjusts belt*

[nabim123]

[louderthanlove]

Fuck! what a great great Rock Band...Timeless!

[angelwestside]

[toph4er]

This is ska, note the accented upbeat :)

[zempke]

this joke is atypical punk" why did the monkey fall out of the tree?.... cause he was DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!! IF YOU DONT GET IT YOU NEVER WILL

[MrLetsdothisthang]

one of the best bands of all time

[soitgoes02]

@MrLetsdothisthang the only band that matters!

[x85DogsOfWar85x]

you ever heard of G.G. Allin???? that dude was fucking crazy,he had the same "punk" philosophy....except he used to play naked,rape women and men....and animals,punch random people in the face,shit on stage eat it and throw it at the crowd. i dont know the purpose of tyhis,or why it would be considered punk.....this comment has no purpose,just thought i'd throw it out there while we were on the punk subject. LOL

[ThorVB11]

RIP joe strummer

[Mariahh1206]

too many people about what's punk. It's music, lifestyle, shut the fuck about what's hot or what's not. it's in your heart. enjoy music while it lasts !

[Mrsk8park]

this is what is going to be playing when kate says "I Do" then when they get a divorce it will be "God Save the Queen" then when people find out about the divorce it will be "London's Burning" When people take out there gun to shoot them self it will be "Tommy Gun".

[mulljacob]

Guess I need to lookup the lyrics, I can't understand anything but "london calling."

[reverendflash]

@tball95672

Oh, it's gonna go like that? Then ALL rock is over-rated. It's fuckin' music - the tinkering of notes and chords on instruments while vocalists make wailing sounds on top of it. Not gonna revive someone in an ambulance with it.

[untamed94]

ATTENTION Clash Fans! Please HERE ME OUT. I can't tell you how many times I've heard people say "I couldn't have made it through my teenage years without The Clash ". I'm in a band. and we work as hard as we can. and we CAN NOT catch a break. Help us be that band kids NEED. Please take a small piece of your time to check out our independent Music Video for our song Red-Light Revolver. Let us know what you think. if you like it tell your friends about it. Good and Bad Comments are welcome.

[u2hayashi]

今、聴いても、何時聴いても、カッコイーす。メンバーのイデタチ­が異常な位、ソリッド。流石は、punks.

[roscoe0546]

@u2hayashi That'swhat she said



[roscoe0546]

@u2hayashi  That's what she said

[talisstercustauri]

@adiostraitorobama You'll be waiting for eternity then, I reckon ;-)

[astearns1975]

This is what U2 wishes they were!

[buzzerson]

No, that song is called "Junktown" by Faster Than Flash -- a side project of his. I had it on vinyl from some English movie soundtrack, but lost it. I found it here on youtube, though. Great song.

[Vaicurious]

Londons calling and it's calling you gay.

[salvadory]

4 million views in four years - katy perry 16 million views in a week- this is why the world is still fucked up!

[Nevermore2007]

@salvadory because people are slaves to mainstrem, they forgot what real music was and is and how it was played

[familyguyrofl]

like this if you bought the clash converse celebrating the band

[HAZARD499]

thumbs up if you're punk forever

[AdamElseify]

This song predicts the future

[fulgione2]

It's the CLASH - shut up stupid!

[adzmajevski]

296 people who like justin bieber watched this video.....



[RELubber]

Why does this vid even have a dislike button?

[JinsukeHP]

@RELubber Sound quality is the only excuse.



[Beastrider9]

@RELubber Because trolls are pople to, evil vile disgusting hateful people but still people.

[welcome2oldskol]

@RELubber Yeah! they should take it off, it don't make sense when you think of it.

[sakurabastheman]

@RELubber because the song isn't that good.

[RELubber]

@sakurabastheman Seems you're in the vast minority with that opinion.

[1mkboyd]

@RELubber Because people have a right to dislike this, it is crap.

[wildmanwill22]

@1mkboyd Or maybe you just don't know music when you hear it.

[jckracing2]

@RELubber Because if everybody liked it it wouldn't be cool

[jimmyofaden]

@RELubber 93 other and I agree..Who would dislike this.

[jewerl84]

shut the fuck up its music i love the passion and crazy that wat made them great

[purpleleprechauns33]

awesome song!!!!!!!!

[abstractbard]

No need for a bracket or category for The Clash and Sex Pistols

[zigifrojd]

Great song.

[chevyvictor]

farrr whos that dick like he's throwing his guitar around the place

[superbutface]

[JEDI7ACEN]

296 Don't believe this is the sound Green Day tried for.

[TheMouse1310]

you have no life for writing that.

@edrftvygbdhskfksjskj

[edrftvygbdhskfksjskj]

@TheMouse1310 Pretty much.

[TheMouse1310]

@SamZucchini

if it didn't make any sense, it wouldn't be the highest rated comment.

[uzickimajmunac]

they rock by the river!

[gagas001]

amazing song! check my bass cover of london calling on my channel! :)

[chrisnealxxx]

"The Only Band That Matters" proves why they were with this video!

The Clash were truly GODS

[MObaid27]

the bass is nasty...

[joeygoldfish]

why is this listed as "music of the '90's"? this is music of the '70's. it's a great song, but let's not fuck each other around.

[deejayzak]

If Kurt Cobain looks straight up above him, and he squints really hard, he can see the bottom of Joes feet

[thesportsdude90]

The Clash >>>> Sex Pistols.

London Calling >>> Nevermind the Bollocks

[MObaid27]

sick bass...

[jmsp1967]

pay attention to the bass...

[mickbrian1231]

Greatest punk band of all time.

[oblongfan1]

i prefer london lady!

[ripperduck]

I was too young to appreciate what amazing talent these guy had. I'm not anymore....they were amazing....

[yourinurine2]

classic tune and i would like to watch the video but the audio is too low for my old ears....

[robelstable]

293 pussy motherfuckin nerds watched these fucks(compliment) blow it up

[ainslietagen]

@robelstable hey! nerds can like the clash too...

[robelstable]

@ainslietagen i wasn't taking a shot at nerds, but the people who disliked this video. sorry hun if your a nerd.  btw, i'm pro-nerd, they invent all the best stuff
