[richiebear1969]

Young Frankenstein: "A riot is an ugly thing... I think, that it is just about time we had one!"

[bally224]

Fuck , i remember when Joe passed away just a few years ago about this time of year . It was the saddest christmas i can remember and every year i still think of him and the great music he gave us .

[stuartandtheavenue93]

i heard that strummer caught hepatitis as a result of all the gobbing. can anyone confirm that?

[iwantcompletecontrol]

@stuartandtheavenue93 I've heard it was from the gobbing but I've also heard a more unpleasant rumor that Joe was shooting up and got it from a dirty needle. Though I read an interview where Joe said he never did heroin (well, he actually smoked it once, but only once), so I'm guessing the gobbing story is accurate.

[stuartandtheavenue93]

@iwantcompletecontrol ahh, thanks :)

[stuartandtheavenue93]

@iwantcompletecontrol wait, don't you think it maybe could have been an sti?

[iwantcompletecontrol]

@stuartandtheavenue93 You never know, but I've never heard anything like that suggested before.

[tonytheponyism]

Hey Ray - if you're watching this..this is Tony - used to score from you back in the day ( the bloke on the moped!)

[greyhound497]

jimmy pursey and jo

[greyhound497]

jimmy pursey and jo strummerji

[82Rudel]

The guy in the stripe shirt Jimmy Pursey?

[GoldIsFreedom]

How did we lose this energy? Why aren't we out on the streets like the Egyptians? Blair, Brown, Cameron must be tried as traitors of the British people for their immigration policies - that is what punk was about, and let's not forget that posh, nancy boy Clegg - I despise the ponce.

[TheLiquidBeats]

Two top comment are too long to read!!! HAHAH i'm such a lazy prick

[rocknroll19842]

the lords of music broke the mold after they created this masterpiece band. i still rock my london calling shirt i've had since i was 15 i'm now 27 it is so shredded, and beyond ever smelling clean again. i made many memories of stupid drug filled nights, chasing girls,being a punk kid, and so many memories of heartbreak. every girl i have dated in the past 5 years has hated that smelly, shirt, and has tried to get rid of it, but it was known "get rid of it if you want, but im going with it."

[arsenaljsutliffuk]

Back when England was England, oh how times have changed......

[SauravBL]

Lovely song.. xD

[KBgaming1]

[SnapperGrogan]

@wavingtesticles Yep.

[premmerpp]

sheer brilliance loads of memories flooding back, i was there 

[milhaus0179]

You will have Kosovo in London.

If you dont stop it on time.

[wank0r]

only 82% of the United Kingdom is white, and decreasing

[PBANDSNOW]

@wank0r Good.

[MrMoonstar123]

82% boy you sound scared. Out of those 82% how many are British? I think if you dig deeper you will find that most of us are of foreign descendent of settlers to this country. The only difference being is that you can hide behind whiteness whereas colour will always remain. If you like things so black and white then its already here!

[Boltboxer]

I found Waldo!

[matthewjamal]

im 20...anybody else listening to this at my age, keep it alive. Fuck green day...yea they used to be "punk" what the fuck ever, fuck my chemical fagmance....its all about respecting and feeling the true energy of the originators.

[SaRa3363]

@matthewjamal well i'm 13 and i'm so big fan of the clash ;D they are my fav. band....and i like music from 70s and 80s.....i really don't like today music..of course i mean something like justin bieber,miley cyrucs,ect.sometimes i say that i'm born in wrong time:)

[igorpernalonga]

aqui não tem lei

[TheKrasnaludek]

when the UK was white; before it became a door matt for the muslim slobs.

[GBAPCLAN]

@TheKrasnaludek your racist views aren't wanted here hitler.

[iwantcompletecontrol]

@TheKrasnaludek Keep that racist shit to yourself, you fucking dolt. Anyone who comes to a Clash video and posts that kind of ignorant vitriol obviously has no clue what The Clash stood and fought for with their music. "I think people ought to know that we're anti-fascist, we're anti-violence, we're anti-racist and we're pro-creative. We're against ignorance." -Joe Strummer

[Jedi737]

@iwantcompletecontrol a ha ha ha hah ha! ;-) man, you're naive like a 5 years old child. for sure, they fought for a better world, a ha ha ha...

[iwantcompletecontrol]

@Jedi737 I guess you're just too enlightened for us naive, little people! We all envy you, we really do.

[Rrrayas]

@iwantcompletecontrol Well-said buddy. Fuck the haters, and especially those like the racists with their pack-minded mentality!

[ladyPlule]

@TheKrasnaludek HAHA so dumb HAHAA HAhahahaA

[mschneiderg]

@TheKrasnaludek Do you even know what this song is about? This was about wanting to emulate the Brixton riots, flying in the face of nonsense spouted by the press about them being 'race riots'. Look in the mirror before calling others 'slobs'.

[DRwhofan9100]

@TheKrasnaludek fuck you you fascist cunt

[theblackmafia71]

Supported the H BLOCK fuckin cunts to a man!

i didn't know waldo was in the clash... you learn something everyday

[TheJerksTC]

@arabellasp2 Re you ok? like, mentally?

[lildice200]

Anyone who thinks that the English riots happening are 'punk' and that it is payback for police brutality is either brain dead or apathetic. These guys arent 'showing the government they can do what they want because theyre in poverty', theyre stealing luxurious items like plasma TVs and ipods from honest hard-working men so they can sit on their fat asses and get fed more corporate. propaganda bullshit. Hardly punk.

[mentalfeed70]

@lildice200 lol I hate the punk attitude.

[MrCarloski91]

@lildice200 Spot on!

[RonnyVain89]

this video is badassness incarnate

[brastshit]

かっこよすぎるぜ。。。

@Scott0Pattenden I Agree

[TheYomommasucks]

WHITE RICE, I WANNA RICE!!!!

[Scott0Pattenden]

what a fucking scene! Sad i missed out on the punk movement, and wish I had grown up with this type of music, fuck chart, and mainstream music these days.



[iamjphearmeroar]

1:20 gives me the chills. It's so beautiful!

[trukketrukke1]

joe ci manchi tanto

[x2mars]

who is the dude stage right drinking the beer ?

[SaRa3363]

Happy birthday dear Joe!!!We all miss you... :( R.I.P. <3<3<3<3<3<3<3

[Aksaja37]

@SaRa3363 damit, was trying 2 like soz

[frankiestrummer]

See i feel sorry for the people who are into justin bieber or miley cyrus (no capitals - dont deserve it) or whatever because when they get older and realise how stupid they were, they're just gonna make fun of them like we are now. They're never gonna hold on to this music and realise how great it always will be.

[Elanius1sam]

I missed my age...

[snowbeach1981]

Sabija !

[splinter360]

@HannahGirl81 loooooool you fucking numpty there was loads of blacks around this time. Joe and Mick grew up with black people in brixton you mug. Hence the reason they always take the piss out of idiot white twats like you in there songs ahahahahahahahahahahah such an idiot!! Doesn't even know what hes listening too hahahaha

[HannahGirl81]

@splinter360 doesn't look like there are many blacks in the crowd. Obviously these blacks that they treat as pets were not interested in what they produced.

[splinter360]

@HannahGirl81 Fucking mug. If thats the case why is The Clash covered many j reggae . If thats the case why do people often criticise the clash for trying to be black and other bullshit. You have no idea about this band, yet your on here commenting. Oh god.You clearly have no idea about punk in general. It wasnt about black or white you tosser, it was about the working class. If guys like joe, mick and John Lydon of sex pistols had herd you say shit like this. Would have got bottled on the spot.

[HannahGirl81]

@splinter360 there were no black punks, they were too busy looting shops and playing up trees on their jungle drums. Punk was white mans music, with the clash painfully trying to pretend they were black like the silly middle class leftie apologists that they were.

[splinter360]

@HannahGirl81 What a fucking idiot looool you know nothing of the clash, or punk itself. When punk first started in the 70's the punk bars and clubs where mixed with people from two similar movements punk and Reggae. You even know who don letts is? looool your so clueless. Your just talking about something you know nothing about. And no black people where to busy been discriminated against by ignorant, ibred mugs like you. How sad, your actually clueless.

[Dueyruss]

@HannahGirl81 You're an idiot. Go Google "Bad Brains" and see if there were black punks. Poseur kids who think they're punk, but have no idea where the music came from.

[x1MasterChief]

whos the guy at 0:34

[asian95drag0n]

@x1MasterChief His name's Ray Gange

[Tiwaking]

@Audioslave3 Comparing The Clash to AUDIOSLAVE? Are you mental?

[Audioslave3]

@Tiwaking Okay! Go on, 'Audioslave sucks blah blah blah'. Truth is, Audioslave were one of the few bands to capture that 70's great hard rock sound. I still think Audioslave were better.

[fede018]

@Audioslave3 GTFO! i like Audioslave, but WTF? that's so random. The Clash are waay above fuckiing Audioslave

[7ot7eN]

I like most the totally stoned folks backstage

[mieper80]

especially in london

[JOHNBEAR2]

when will the clash reform and tour,after all the stranglers done it,and look how many original members they have

[cpj93070]

@JOHNBEAR2 how could they reform when joe's dead? NO JOE NO CLASH.

[mapache11]

@JOHNBEAR2 ...you have officially been named Youtube Tool of the Week. Good job.

[nblBer]

compare this crude shit to Ramones. beh english music is nothing compared to american. and i'm not even from the states

[splinter360]

@nblBer loooooooooooooooooooooool nah your not from the states your from fucking russia which is quite ironic. But i dont think you know you musical history Cause let me tell you. Every major US band has been inspired by a British band or Musician

[nblBer]

indeed they were inspired, but somehow they manage to be better at it

[goddamikickass]

@nblBer The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Iron Maiden, Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, The Sex Pistols, The Clash, Def Leppard, Judas Priest. Yeah apart from the greatest and most important bands of all time British music is crap... prat.

[nblBer]

i don't consider sex pistols a band of any importance, their music is kind of revolting, i'm 90% sure that when they played the venue half of the people in the house were disgusted by the crap they were bound to hear. Same story with the clash. And ofcourse modern people don't listen to heavy metal, because it's just rubbish.

So from all the bands you named only the who can be considered a truly good band but only because of the songs they recorded in the 60s

[goddamikickass]

@nblBer Wow you really don't know anything about music do you...

[nblBer]

what's this shit of a statement supposed to mean?

fact that i do not adore all the "most important bands" only because they are so important doesn't mean that i don't know anything.

it only means that i'm way smarter then you

[Evan42881]

@nblBer Can you say the same thing you just said with grammar. I'm not trying to be rude, I'm dyslexic, and I think i know what you're saying, but I can't pinpoint it....

[nblBer]

can you pinpoint my grammar mistakes then?

[Evan42881]

@nblBer Sorry, wrong comment.

[nat7bgtt]

SMASH CAPITALISM!

[shedendboy1]

Thatgreekguy23. VIVA THE TURKS, FUCK THE GREEKS.

[maxmatt4]

RIOT!!!

[bitofbrandy]

the youths speak out about the riots ---> youtube.com/watch?v=0EJzrLVqU8­­M

[ashpool2000]

3:33 - "fucking long 'aired cunt!"  lol

[ThatGreekGuy23]

A GOOD POM IS SIX FEET UNDER

[napalmslayer]

Anyone who thinks these attrocious riots are in any way justified is a fucking moron. It has nothing to do with politics and it is not race related in any way because for one thing a good majority of the victims of the riots have been black and asian. Case in point the three innocent young asian men who were ran over the other by one of the vile fucking scumbags. And thats all they are: they dont give a fuck about youth unemployment and they probably dont even know who mark duggen is.

[khanimambobar]

London´s Riot = World Revolution? = 2012?

[cLick1333]

Black riot?

[namakokobe]

I think most important things that living with Peaceful mind. But sometimes anger also needs.

[TheSonicmook]

EAT THE RICH

[CumInAsses]

this is a great song for the london riots

[Mxyzptlk562]

The funny thing about so many of the people commenting here is that they don't that the song White Riot was written very shorty after a somewhat similar disturbance in 1976. Sadly things have not change much since and history is repeating itself.

[carlgt1]

I'm pretty sure Joe would hate today's riot -- a bunch of dumb kids who want to steal iphones & expensive watches -- and beat up and burn local community shops etc.

[mikirso]

@carlgt1 a bunch of unemployed with no father nor future who are so angry and desperate about their awful situation thanks to Tony fucking Blair and David bloody Cameron.

[monez14]

@mikirso no they're just stupid lazy niggers

[BillyPilgrim1981]

@monez14 Racism is no joke.... all the epitaths in the world can't describe your comment.

[splinter360]

@monez14 Why are you even on here if your racist. Please dont tell me your a clash fan. Cause that would just be sad. Cause i'm sure you know Most of the clash are from brixton and grew up with black people and fucking incorporate a lot of reggae in their music. Fucking idiot ,just read listen to the fucking first verse. "Black people got some problems, but they dont mind throwing bricks, white people go to school where they teach them how to be thick" Thats you you fucking idiot.

[splinter360]

@carlgt1 Thats true but at the same time. I think joe would agree with the original reason this started. The feds shot an unarmed man. Joe lived in brixton in the 70's so he knew how it was for police to treat the working class like shit.

[MPSecare]

Those pants... those mustaches.... lol

[platypusboy]

England: The hemorrhoid on the anus of the world

[siouxise82]

White Riot in London now! True in the 70's, still current today- The Clash are timeless.

[splinter360]

Theres a white riot going on now. Wonder what joe would think of this.

[dickhead6315]

@splinter360 more like a black riot

[splinter360]

@dickhead6315 Man if your ganna be racist. Then you probably shouldn't listen to the clash. Infact if your racist you'd probably hate the clash. 

[dickhead6315]

@splinter360 how's that racist? Because I said the word 'black'? Do you know what White Riot is about? It's about White people. Well racist.

[splinter360]

@dickhead6315 Mate I know exactly what it is about.But i'm fucking tired of people saying the riot is a "black riot" thats just ignorant to the truth. It jut shows you lack understanding.

[Blahstep]

@splinter360 more like, black riot.

[Badbillyjoe]

@Blahstep, no it's not just a black riot. It is a black, white, and everybody riot.

[LiquidRelief]

@splinter360 it's not a white riot, that's the problem it's a brown, arabian and nigger riot. No white is in the game. They came to your country, and are destroying it right before your eyes. You can be very proud on that.

[splinter360]

@LiquidRelief Thank you. You clearly don't live in London let alone England. So your opinion is not valued. But thanks anyway.

[LiquidRelief]

@splinter360 Londonistan

[generallyafailure123]

@splinter360 Give him a break, he's right. I lived in London for 5 years and was present during the rioting by the way.

[splinter360]

@generallyafailure123 Don't tell me to fucking give him a break. He's a racist. Like I said before if your racist and listen to the clash. Your one stupid fucker. Thats like being lactose intolerant and chilling out with milk. Fucking idiots. Did you racist cunts even take time to look at what the gig is about "ant-nazi" and what the tour was called? "Rude Boy" which if you don't know what it means, its a Jamaican sub culture. Twats the lot of you. Aint no place for your ignorant views here.

[generallyafailure123]

@generallyafailure123 It is completely unreasonable to accuse me of being racist. I like to see myself as well-rounded and generally tolerant but I ain't up for what is going on right now: the tolerance of our country is being taken advantage of right before our very eyes and these riots (while I'm not saying that foreigners and immigrants are the sole perpetrators) are a reaction of a confused country that doesn't know what is normal.

[LiquidRelief]

@splinter360 type in wikipedia: ISLAM IN LONDON, then see for yourself. have a nice day.

[splinter360]

@LiquidRelief Your clearly an idiot. I don't need to click your link. Your a small minded person, whos on this bandwaggon of accusing the muslims. Its so, so, so sad. Human nature. Racism will never die. First it was the Irish, then the blacks, then the jews, then the blacks again, now its the Muslims we want to target. Fucking idiots

[generallyafailure123]

@splinter360 It seems to be your opinion that no-one else apart from you deserves to be watching this video or commenting. Clearly your idea of punk appreciation is very exclusive. You can hardly claim that even a racist anti- semite has no right to enjoy the Clash: good music should be for everyone.

[splinter360]

@generallyafailure123 No. If that were the case I would slate everyone on here. But if your a fan of the clash then you knew what they stood for. I mean for gods sake. The performance in this vid is for an anti-racism gig. And your saying its ok for some ignorant people to come on here and slate exactly what the clash fought hard for?? Fuck that, i'm ganna stand up for my beliefs.
