Not the original recording

[eldeano1]

@leag451 yeah it's a live version, I prefer it to the studio I think.

[FlorenceGrin]

I think i just found a new Favorite Band :D

[TomJoad1928]

Vevo is selling the rope we are gonna hang em on. Joe's lyrics. Sing loud till the world cant ignore you no more.

[takerumiyamoto]

I hate modern Music. Hell yah Punk Rulez

[wileib1]

@takerumiyamoto Its not all bad. If you know what to look for and where to look for it, you will find that my generation has some damn good artists.

[apapaia100]

L'UNICO GRUPPO CHE CONTI

[KeKeBassSurf]

No fucking advertisement for punk rock

[advchandra1]

"They said we'd be artistically free, when we signed that bit of paper"

That meant you VEVO!!

You curb artistic talent by commercialing other artists...

[iffyfart]

FUCK VEVO!!!!!!

[RaptureandZune]

Fuck you V-E-V-O, VEVO!!!

[PatricKruspe]

I can't think of any comment so i'd say Fuck VEVO !

[TenGreenBullets]

COMPLETE CONTROL, EVEN OVER THIS SONG! Right VEVO?

[tuzza688]

What i would give to be Pogoing in the crowd to the clash in 76.

[dianalee84]

@tuzza688 I saw them in the early 1980's with about 30 people in the audience in Stony Brook,NY when I was 12. Have No idea why there were so few people there, ? Their Loss! Best gig ever! RIP Joe

[bonopunk77]

9 years without Joe. R.I.P mate!

and btw, fuck VEVO.

[TheBronky21]

VEVO SE LA COME ENTERAA!!! 

[g0nz0]

you know the world's gone to the shithole when you type joe on youtube and the first three things to appear are joe jonas instead of joe strummer

[Rebelqueen89]

THE CLASH I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[allfantasticimages]

Brilliant song.

[BunQiuTD]

I can't hear what they're saying....

[sabracadabra27]

the best band ever

[fallen88zero]

This song is so inspiring it sends a shiver up one's spine,i'm 22 and The Clash's first album and first handful of singles/b-sides hit the nail on the head musically and lyricaly more than anything that has come out since in my life time.

Two Words - No Comparison!

[Clashrascal]

The greatest song ever written. 34 years and no other song comes close.

[EvilBiasFree]

Like this if Glee brought you here!

[gaymanrights]

@EvilBiasFree fuck you

[EvilBiasFree]

@gaymanrights Problem?

[gaymanrights]

@EvilBiasFree Yes

[EvilBiasFree]

@gaymanrights Wanna be friends?

[gaymanrights]

@EvilBiasFree no

[EvilBiasFree]

@gaymanrights Why are you being mean to me?

[Rigsbymortisful]

"i dont trust you, so why should you trust me?"

honesty and understanding in the face of a stalemate.

[gormnikohagensk]

why does the clash even have a VEVO?

[RooseveltJones]

215,229 hits only for this. You people suck.

[nietzschealeatorio]

classico

i love the clash

[Theluca2312]

punk



[uzickimajmunac]

VEVO RULES

[spearburning2011]

great song great band

[Beatriceranieri]

0:17 wow wow wow

[shadow0106]

Clash city rockers!

[shadow0106]

Rock n roll is my fucking college, i need no fucking boring fake intelectual professor!

[57filter]

cannot share vevo video on facebook :)))) what a retard :)) and we should care about this why ?????

[FinCroweman]

read once that shane mcgowan took an acid and went to see these guys play dressed in a black bin bag, what a legend, what a band

[SMSREUSSELL]

Desde Costa Rica se escuchan



[xfatkrisx]

i can't share it on facebook :(

[MikeyAnarchyPunk]

@xfatkrisx None VEVO Videos can't be shared on Facebook or any other website :C I think this is the last thing that the Guys of the Clash Wanted, y'know, that the VEVO wouldn't let us share their songs with everybody, because if we do, VEVO channel wil lose views... FUCK VEVO, Really :'(

[xfatkrisx]

thumbs ups if you think that this songs kicck ass , like the clash does. (pure rocck!!!), revolution is coming! saludos desde argentina!!!

[MrRDiggity]

Wonderful! and at "Laidleypunk12": Green Day will never be in the same league as The Clash. The Clash is a chapter in music history and Green Day at best will be a footnote. And for the last time Green Day is a pop band...get over it.

[edomiteslayerkenobi]

Topper was the difference!

[Anarchywillreturn234]

back in the days of the greatest band of all time. the clash are a part of me. they are fucking amazing.

[ThisIsEnglaaand]

it makes me so sad that my favorite band were over before i'd even been born. Can't begin to explain how much i love this video, and other videos of them live like this, although it makes me want to invent a time machine, fuck off back to '77 and stay there forever. The Clash will always be the best. Love it!!

[scaredypicker]

whats the point in a clash vevo? hate vevo...

[raq757uplayer]

@scaredypicker Idd.. this song is about how the record companies tries to control everything.. and vevo controls whole youtube.. so ironic haha

[claraghpunk]

@ pretty vacantsway i know how exactly you rfeel, mate, feckin cat!

[tMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMt]

Gotta love how they put an advertisement on an anti-commercialism song.

[snehesten]

Happy summer evening music

[JAMMYbeast]

How ironic. The Clash- Complete Control put on VEVO...

[Mickekzon]

Well, they said it... there is complete contorol, even over THIS song. Sad, but true.

[UVS19992]

@JAMMYbeast at least ramones dont have vevo

[PunkyTom1962]

@JAMMYbeast i agree bruva ...who the are VEVO

[PunkyTom1962]

@PunkyTom1962 who the fuck are VEVO i meant to say .....

[MrSuperkrap]

PUNK died 30 years ago. make your own waves children

[unclemort1960]

@MrSuperkrap it may have died but look at the huge influence it left on music/TV/film/books etc

[michiheroes]

WTF IS LADY GAGA DOIN IN THE BACKGROUND?!!!

[jhonnybomb77]

Guys we have to do our riot!! they taught us how to do it and now is the time!!

RIOT!!!

[zzhamstring]

I would have love to see the Clash & Nirvana tour together !!!!!

[jo4nny]

@zzhamstring Nirvana were miserable, I'd rather see The Clash performing alone. PERIOD.

[intenzez]

@zzhamstring They´re not a good fit. Kurt Cobain despised Joe Strummer and The Clash for making Sandinista. The Clash and The Libertines would have been a better fit.

[elliequigley]

I wish all the good music like this could come back but even if it did it would never be the same. I'm now 15 but I've grown up with The Clash, The Sex Pistols, Stiff Little Fingers, Cock Sparrer ect. To this day I still say I love The Clash and everyone else. If my dad had never introduced me to this music I'd be a little thug head listening to all the crap in the charts these days! R.I.P Joe Strummer. Your one hell of legend!!!!!!!!!!!

[unclemort1960]

@elliequigley top marks to your dad for introducing you to the clash,did he get you of to sleep by singing `city of the dead` as a lullaby!

[oscarfish38]

THIS IS JOE PUBLIC SPEAKING!!!!!!!..... Get your claws off THE CLASH.... SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT (UK) Limited............ FFS.

[GabrielDhalaman]

GIVE OFF,VEVO AND FUCKERS OUT THERE,I WONT LISTEN TO THE CLASH,RAMONES OR WATHVER WITH THAT LADY SHIT FACE NEXT TO THE VIDEO,FUCK YOU

FUCK YOU,I SAID FUCK YOU

[dbbusybee]

Is one of the venues on this venue Manchester Apollo ? Saw the Clash here and remember Simenon wearing white trousers and sure it was hat backdrop. Brilliant :-)

[PrettyVacant1936]

FUCK VEVO, LOVE CLASH

[CiaranXD]

Boo! to the 6 people who have disliked this. Clearly don't have a taste in decent music.

[o0MrAnderson0o]

THIS is music.... not what is done today by "artists", and even not by them but by the big companies that tell them what to do.... could you mention just ONE "artist" that could make a song like this nowadays?---------THE CLASH!!!!

[SmellsLikeBassSpirit]

Thanks to Vevo, i searched this video for a long time, now i finally found it!

[RaptureandZune]

@SmellsLikeBassSpirit Actually those assholes from vevo deleted other videos of this song and upload their own copy.

[RaptureandZune]

Thanks for uploading, you cunts from vevo. =]

[PBANDSNOW]

This video follows the clash from playing small punk clubs all the way to playing Shea Stadium, its crazy!!!

[fat1man1strangler]

uk has the best music

[pablobenitez1]

@PrettyVacantsWay Yo tampoco, lo que hubiera dado por verlos tocar en vivo :( que mal

[Dookiebassplayer7]

@PrettyVacantsWay I couldn't agree more,a real band is kinda lika a family. you have your good times,you have your bad times. but you all know there is this chemistry between 4 musicians,that makes it all worthwhile. that why it all went downhill when they Fired topper and mick. it just wasnt the same family anymore

[chrislopez44]

@PrettyVacantsWay did you really burst? that would have been awesome to see.

[PrettyVacantsWay]

@chrislopez44 Ohhh you're such a funny and cruel person !

[PunkLobo]

@PrettyVacantsWay Manly tears shed huh, bro?

Sadly time is not a linear thing. Its just like the fuse of a bomb. Once its burnt theres no way back. Look at the bright side. Now the kids have justine bieber and lady gaga. Oh, wait... Guess I gonna cry too lol

[PrettyVacantsWay]

@PunkLobo yeah, you're right, but i'm a girl so maybe that's why i usually cry because of this. LOL

[Kalamalooo]

@PrettyVacantsWay

lol friends

[Eubird17]

I cannot watch the clash here if before it is an advertisment for 'chipmunk'...

[duckfishimasak]

so sick i cried

totally radical

[anonquarff]

mosta awesome ban ever and still the best gig i ever went to london 79 awesome

[StLouisEarl]

April 4, 1977: British CBS releases the Clash's self-titled first album, in the UK only. CBS in the US refuses to release it until 1979 and even then will get rid of the more violent songs. However, those Americans who are cool and smart will buy 100,000 imported copies of "The Clash," making it one of the biggest-selling import records of all time. ☺

[FrankIeroLove]

i swear..if i had been a teenager during those times, this would've been one of those bands that i would sneak out at night to go see at a show :D if only...

[edwardsweeney24]

how have we gone from this to beiber ?

[timflan1234]

@edwardsweeney24 Shut the fuck up, all I hear about on youtube is all about justin fucking beiber. I don't like him and I wouldn't even remember who he is if people like you didn't bring him up every 10 seconds.

[affectionatepunch]

@timflan1234 I'm with you 100% on that one Timflan that cunts name is mentioned on practically every comments page! That and a comment on someone "accidently" pressing the dislike button arghhh! Pricks like beiber have always existed be it Donny osmond or David bleedin cassidy hes nothing new...

[joydivision808]

@edwardsweeney24 i know

[sirdan180]

I cant believe they put up a clash vevo. This is just a way of making more and more money, not what joe, mick, paul or any one else of the clash would want. this is exactly what they were against!

[intenzez]

@sirdan180 You left out Topper.

[MrSuperkrap]

The lead singer of Aerosmith - whoever he is - resembles a geriatric lady boy with a lot of cash to spend on hollywood plastic surgery.

[MrSuperkrap]

The lead simger of Aerosmith - whoever he is - resembles a geriatric lady boy with a lot of cash to spend on hollywood plastic surgery.

[intenzez]

@MrSuperkrap Who cares about the lead singer of Aerosmith, Steven Tyler?

[PBANDSNOW]

No one rivals the Clash. You cant have a more politically active band. You cant get a better songwriting team than Strummer/Jones. Topper is an incredible drummer, Paul is bass dynamite, Mick is just a god at guitar. And Joe, hes an amazing singer, an amazing writer, and he just loves it so much. R.I.P Joe, R.I.P The Clash R.I.P Punk R.I.P Good music all together!

[FeatherlessTurkey]

OMG 2:21, I WENT ALL THE WAY TO NEW YORK, AND WENT THERE, BOND,i looked on the roof,,,and imagined them, putting the banner there

[TheSkaddict]

This song will never ever get old.

[kris5434]

STILL SAY AREOSMITH WAS BETTER BUT THE ARE 1 POINT BEHIND

BETALES ARE 2POINTS BEHIND

[Lunatic4Bizcas]

@kris5434 : Aerosmith is a joke of a band, especially when compared to timeless giants such as THE CLASH. Aside from that, Steve Tyler has to be one of the most annoying frontmen and vocalists of any Rock band ever!

[NightwatchRebel]

theclashVEVO. Not in their spirit.

[707Beanmr]

@NightwatchRebel joe strummer would be turning in his grave knowning these greedy wankers have taken there music and tried to make profit of someone else let alone the clash!

[HeadHunteR1988]

The future is unwritten comrades.. And the future does not belong to capitalists, fascists and all these scums.. Our future is libertarian communism.

[MrPanchaos]

e psit...2 dislikers...up yours!!! ha!

[GREENozepyDAY]

The one person who disliked this must have hit the wrong button by mistake.

[danielscissorhands]

@GREENozepyDAY or disliked the advertising.

[Zelinskas9]

@GREENozepyDAY Normally I would be annoyed by comments like this, but given the circumstances, you may actually be right.

[TheKaman633]

i think that the people from classic punk bands who are still alive are really disappointed with the bands that think they are punk when they are just crap like green day!!!!!

[JameJame661]

@TheKaman633 Green Day isn't crap! Get over the what "is" and "isn't" punk thing!

[njlacrosse9]

@JameJame661 You're right, just because a band isn't punk doesn't mean they are shit.

It is just a coincidence that Green Day isn't punk and they are shit!

[JameJame661]

@njlacrosse9 Okay, I respect your opinion, everybody has their own taste in music. But could you please enlighten me as to why you think Green Day is shit

[thesunstartstoset]

@JameJame661 Probably because there popular and he feels anything that most people like is garbage because its mainstream and so then he can delusion that he listens to good music because hes on the minority page.

Dont worry about it, almost every music video I watch its some guy explaining that there not punk, even though there is multiple forms of punk rock and ways to express it.

[randomnamelolol]

@thesunstartstoset I like popular music, but not Greenday. IMO they are shit, no strings attached. Their oldies like Basket Case make me jizz but their new album makes me want to shoot them all on the face.

[intenzez]

@JameJame661 Green Day aren´t punk. They are just shit. Utter and complete shit. Not punk, never was, never will be.

[Laidleypunk12]

@intenzez U can't really say that. the whole point of punk rock is do what you fucking want, both green day and the clash did that. Its impossible to compare green day to the clash (though no-one was doing that); and besides, just because green day have mainstream success; more-so then the clash did doesn't mean their not punk

[intenzez]

@Laidleypunk12 It´s not mainstream success that makes me judge them, it´s how they handled it.

[TheKaman633]

i think that the people who are from classic punk bands are really disappointed with the the bands that think that they are punk when they are just crap

[poopinyourpantsporn]

This song was written in response to companies like Vevo. I fucking hate how these coorporates assholes dare to put a band like The Clash in the same system as Lady Fucking Gaga and Justin Bieber. It's not right.

[edwardsweeney24]

97,000 view ?.................... for the best song and band ever, probally all watching the crap music of today

[franco123ramon]

The Clash and The Ramones rules

[cybertron2006]

@Swede7777 Wrong band, perhaps? :p

[Swede7777]

Go gorillaz! 

[NomadHipHop]

@Swede7777 I LIKE TURTLES!

[foreverbells]

Amazing. <3

[sweeetxfire]

WTF how dare they put a vid of justin beiber singing happy birthday before this!!

[vrbanecjerko]

some puff pressed dislike

[shafira12]

im starting to hate wii

[leondenis00]

Jerry Seinfeld at 00:28

[JayRocFly]

the only band that matters

[junopiper]

Best Clash song...

[ShaanSilva]

@thestranger4812 F!CK THAT NAME!!! THIS IS THE CLASH, SHOW SOME RESPECT!!

[Squibfire]

that was amazing, just pure wow

[ShanefulishnessXD]

Fuck Vevo.

[Savedro]

Simply the greatest band ever!

[hottisaimaa]

maailmanhistorian parassssss

[stumblestfu]

@hottisaimaa samaa mieltä

[hottisaimaa]

toppe headon addict....in the future, but this is the best song ever

[manny667]

my best time

[tool619]

yep , VEVO is in complete control/

[krmln321]

what the fuck?!?!?! i wanna watch the complete control music video, and i gotta listen to a commercial to watch it. screw vevo.

[raq757uplayer]

This song is about the Clah hate to EMI. their record company. and vevo controls the vid.. rofl.

[stormer4ever]

omfg vevo has taken over clash too!

[machbaby]

This band is tight.

Topper Headon is such a fantastic drummer.

[KEVINAKAKEVO1]

One of the most unforgetable punk rock bands!

[AStrummerNamedJoe]

Aww Joe doesn't sing this with the same fiery intensity that he did on the album.

Does anyone know what he says at 2:40?

[Scrachfury13]

VEVO is in complete control.

[WeHateSandCastles]

Joe Strummer would roll in his grave if he knew Vivo had control over there videos. i love how they cared for there fans they always tried to make the CD's as cheap as they can and let people through the back door to see the show. you will never see a band like this again, where they could be huge and not be sellouts at the same time

[dude25875]

Anyone else see the irony of a military recruitment ad on a Clash vid?

[PBANDSNOW]

everyone, this live version is on from hre to eternity album
