Paul's ass at 0:42 drives me crazy really. But gotta admit that this live wasnt really good, normally they did great lives, but this one was like weak..
Why the fuck are people commenting about blink 182 and green day? This is the clash and they deserve better respect. I'm a punk but I can easily say i don't care weather this is punk or not because it's fantastic music. I'm gonna go with Joe strummer and say it is indeed revolution rock. Best band ever.

For everyone who says this is "punk" just so you know according to Joe Strummer in an interview they preferred the genre title "Revolution Rock" which is a phrase you might have heard of in the song with the same name for the title off londons calling :)
Other bands couldnt lace their boots-I was a young lad and was their its Punk and alot more go watch some DVD or read a book alot of ignorance and disrespect..Who else did 3 cracking albums straight after each other and broke USA., A little knowledge is a dangerous thing take it from someone who was their and has saw,Iggi Pop,Damned,Skids,UKSubs,Lou Reed,Stranglers,SLF and many more
This IS punk. Though all punk bands plays their own style of punk witch is why i LOVE punk :D not only du i love punk-rock but also skate punk and pretty much all REAL punk
One of the greatest bands of all time. And one of fave. These guys and Bowie make me proud to be from the brixton area. This man. music like this and those lyrics. The Clash are just it for me.
punk no punk image no image come on guys dont get too mainstream with the likes of green day etc copying these song ( and botching the greatness of these songs into shitty remakes) we just have to look back on what they did for music and their generation with the information filled songs and awesome style in music unmatched at the time now all we have is clash punk band wannabes who cant even sing as well as them nor play their instruments as good please people just love clash for clash = great
@MrTheincredibleplum There's nothing wrong with liking a mainstream band. Green Day is an amazing band, and they became mainstream as a result. So really, what's to hate about a mainstream band. They still sound great. Btw, I am a Green Day fan but also a fan of The Clash, and any music I find I enjoy listening to.
@snoopy25042 i don't wanna be a dick, but green day became mainstream because they signed on to Lookout! records back in '89. Lookout! records made sure their name got out there and green day just rode off their own early green day talent, people loved it. other bands like NOFX, sum 41, and blink-182 quickly followed suit and became what we know them now. green day however dramatically evolved with american idiot and made their songs much more melodic since then.
@mega48man I see what you're saying, but Green Day didn't change to make more money, or to get more popular. They decided to have fun with a new style of music, and mature their sound. They didn't change because they were told to. They changed because they wanted to. But they're still Green Day. I don't really feel like there's anymore to discuss on this matter
@snoopy25042 oh yeah, i totally agree with you, green day and blink have always been about the musical integrity, not about the money. i remember billie joe said just that in an interview, or something like it. i know Blink just released that new single that's gonna be an their upcoming album which will be made up of all their different types of sounds they've done over the years, i'm pretty excited.
@mega48man I'm sorry, I had to laugh at your post. Blink 182 NOT about the money??? lol Each one of those guys had their own tour bus for the same tour! Why? Because they were sick of each other and had the money to do it. You know very little about the industry. Blink 182 and Greenday are close to the top of my list of sellouts. Doesn't matter if their music is good or not. They are most certainly about the money. They catered to their labels. That's why their later albums were a joke.

@RadioFilth You don’t need to say “In My Opinion” because a true Clash fan doesn’t care if your favourite Clash song is “Crooked Beat”, as long as your a Clash fan, no one can judge your taste in Clash songs.
anyone who says the clash aren't punk are foolish.. anyone who says saying something on your mind isn't punk is equally as foolish.. for the people who say this isn't punk.. punk isn't what you play its what you say/do/feel.. anyone who judges people for speaking there mind is a poseur.. to that one guy who said this band was "fall out boy".. they were a scene band cause punk was a scene back then but that doesn't discount them any for writing great political music that influenced new punk
Clash é a minha banda favorita sem sombra de dúvida, mas ao vivo eles são muito ruuuiiiins mano xD quer dizer, claro que eu piraria total se fosse a um show deles, mas em estúdio são muito melhores que ao vivo rs
@quintobeatlesam Essa versão realmente não está muito boa, mas dizer que eram lixo ao vivo? Bicho, uma dos motivos deles terem sido chamados de "a única banda que interessa" era o fato dos shows deles serem incendiários. Ninguém ia ao show deles pra ver pirotecnia ou virtuosismo, mas sim pra vê-los mandando ver num rock básico mas que incorporava uma porrada de outras coisas, reggae, hard rock, até mesmo jazz.
Go down to the US/Mexico border, this song is more true than ever. "Coming through the door is a snub-nose .44 / what the barrel can't snort it can splatter on the floor . . . "

K LISTEN UP PPLS. anyone who accepts teh Clash as good music wouldnt know good music if it jumped out of a bush and kicked them in the junk. the clash r phony, contrived punk rockerz with no real talent. Thumbs up if U agree!!1!
WTF!?? Not knowing enough it is thus hard to say exactly where old Topper got to on that day, and as for Strummer strichting there in pain, and Mick and Paul back to back indifferent unsaying, I truly wonder what the executives were paying at that stage in their career: cocaine wouldn't cover it I fear.
The petty conversations on this video just make me want to smash a bloody guitar over every one of 'ems heads. Like, seriously? This is a page about The Clash. Like them or not, who the hell cares? They are most definetly punk-- sorry they're not ugly Sum41 or Greenday. This is the real deal. Punk don't come with an image or a sound, it comes with a soul and a meaning to be.
@xFreakshowDreams Tell erm man. People are sooo fucking silly buying that manufactured crap, then bringing it to a clash vid. Good to know there are some who understand this.
Its like a "Drunken Master" style of singing :D. The power comes from the relaxed, unpredictable style. Jones on the other hand has a more "sentimental"? or emotional way of singing that works wonderful for songs like "Lost in the Supermarket" and "The Card Cheat" whose "stories" to me are the best. I don't think I've every listened to another band whose song lyrics seem have so much depth and relavance to the world I see, even 30 after they were written! Don't know what it is but I like it!
I don't care what style the music is called or what some other group has decided their music is . I just love this music. Strummer and Jones are both amazing at how they sing the songs. They are so different that the contrast between the two makes both their styles so great. It feels like Strummer gives a lot of energy yet his "enunciation" is so relaxed or drunk or 'dissonant'? or whatever but it gives their songs so much style and the uniqueness makes it stand out in my head.
People giving punk a face is NOT punk. Punk does not have to be a anarchist drunk that questions authority. Punk is having the balls to say that you are a capitalist lawyer and obeys the law and actually standing for it. That is my opinion in any case, does not necassarily have to mean it's true.
is it punk is being against authority,,(dictionary reference),,, so why should be punk be following you guys,, punk is an attitude, and more than a music...
alright mofo 69InTheMoodForSka69 if u dont think the clash r punk trhen ur just fagit poser bc the i agree with superTankP the clash started something new back in there day and same with the ramone they started something new and also all the other old punk band like misfits and dk aka dead Kennedy all have started something new so fagit ass poser go die
i just... don't get it. Sorry, I just don't understand the whole 'punk' thing; seems like a load of reactionary conformity to me, albeit I am speaking as a child of the 90s. Someone, please justify this music to me, I am open to interpretation.
@satanilmiopadrone I can understand why you don't get it. Punk started out in the mid-70's as a form of socialist movement that wished to bring down a highly right-wing party in power in Britain at the time. This subversion started out as butchering poetry with psychedelic rock (fore-most of this was the band OJ). It then grew into a diverse structure. Fast forward to the mid-90's and the structure changed due to many reasons but the act of subversion was replaced by a blind denial of any form-
@satanilmiopadrone - of authority. Ultimately when music's commercial appeal started to expand and the need for bands to become in some sense marketable punk-rock grew, both in mainstream and underground, as a back-lash to this increased commercialism and. This was then scraped by most record-companies due to the fact it nurtured an unmanageable roster and now it's all about the blind denial of authority. Opinion is split due to Some believing that blind denial to authority leads to blind-
@satanilmiopadrone - acceptance to appear to reject it (even if they truly don't) while others consider it to be a genuine war-cry for social and/or anarchical reform in an oppressive world. I hope that helps you to justify it for yourself (I'm not one to "recruit" for one camp or another) or at least shed some light over what everyone's on about. Oh and sorry for the wall of text, but history isn't brief :P.
@satanilmiopadrone I'm with you, this is my favourite band of all time and I have no time for their critics and the naive dickheads who talk about them "selling out" but at the end of the day they never changed anything politically. The previous reply is just plain wrong, not least because Labour were in power until '79 - The Clash were talking about South American politics by the time of Thatcher.
the Clash never wanted to be limited by Punk's image, although though they still considered themself to be a punk band when others questioned the image they created after London Calling.
Strummer the linchpin..he only knew one way...Full on give it 2 ya straight...sadly his heart gave out at 50 ....But ohhhh..... the Legacy is there for all to see...and try to live up to.
I've always thought some of the ideals of Punk were totally mashed up anyway.... hypocritical and contradictory...
From "Do what you want" to "Okay, follow these rules"
"I can do this" "You can't do this"
the Clash did what they wanted. I think that's to be admired. Same goes to Green Day, Joe Strummer liked them, probably because he also admired the path they took of doing what they liked.
Did they play any proper gigs with Nick Sheppard and the other Cut The Crap members? I know they did that homeless busking tour, but I've never seen any footage of, say, This is England live or anything.
But is it Post Punk? Given that Punk was the thing of the moment nearly 35 years ago, and that You Tube is the thing of the current era.... Discuss all you media studies and social studies students..
the guy who said that the clash flickered out after london calling is reatarted..... London calling was 1979.... this concert is 1983.... they had a ten year run, and still released Rock the Casbah, and Magnificent Seven....
subjective opinion that they got worse, they changed, because real punk is going against the flow.... just like Jazz, except real punk is more politically directed and full of aignst.... They changed, but hardly got worse.
No, Terry was the original part of the band, raw punk songs with direct messages... I was speaking about Topper's major and unrepeatable role in an improving ultimate sound of the Clash.. The Clash is one of my favorite and most influential band ever. After Topper departure from the band, the Clash will never be the same..
@CROMarioVk Yeah I gotta give it to you there cause everyone knows that after London Calling they just sorta fickled away which is a true shame in my opinion. Greatest Punk Band that ever lived going out by getting worse over time.
@ B.Ninja -True, that's also my opinion. London Calling - real masterpiece, school matriculation mandatory for any "punk rock musicians". Sandinista would be OK single album, not triple But, like in any other band, personal and creative situation slowly comes to saturation, and break is inevitable. They are strongly influenced my way of thinking and attitude towards the musics, politics, friendship and most important, r'n'r attitude... Best regards for all Clash City Rockers wherever they are...
@ftooc i'd say fuck sony because my camera is their brand and it runs out of battery without me even using it. fail. and also cuz they stopped making PS2 games.
does it matter wether u believe this is punk or not. they are considered a punk band, joe strummer is a punk rock warlord, and everyone agreed and knew it. it doesnt matter if u think it isnt. the fact that they were different, started something new, and sent out the message is wat was their point, and in the end, its all still music, how u catagorize it doesnt matter as long as its good music ! GOO CLASH FOREVER!
@superTarikP Dude Joe is a punk rock warlord! Punk is not a huge dress up game and hating the government for no reason. Punk is when there is a rebellion against the government that is being UNFAIR. Like in American, we are failing into Communism. The government is starting to control companies and it is starting to force people in to laws that are not right to some people. Our main government is way too powerful too! The Clash was against this! You are right man!
Mate, don't presume to know what someone would have thought.
I think you will find that a bit of government intervention would not have troubled any members of the class if it curbs in some was the venal and parasitic tendencies of free market capitalism.
The clash were not from a country with a tradition of suspicion of government as a concept.
I ♥ The Clash

Its like a "Drunken Master" style of singing :D. The power comes from the relaxed, unpredictable style. Jones on the other hand has a more "sentimental"? or emotional way of singing that works wonderful for songs like "Lost in the Supermarket" and "The Card Cheat" whose "stories" to me are the best. I don't think I've every listened to another band whose song lyrics seem have so much depth and relavance to the world I see, even 30 after they were written! Don't know what it is but I like it!

Personally, the two songs that motivated me the most or hell just made me feel better were " I"m not down " and "Clampdown."
syntax0101 1 year ago 2
I don't care what style the music is called or what some other group has decided their music is . I just love this music. Strummer and Jones are both amazing at how they sing the songs. They are so different that the contrast between the two makes both their styles so great. It feels like Strummer gives a lot of energy yet his "enunciation" is so relaxed or drunk or 'dissonant'? or whatever but it gives their songs so much style and the uniqueness makes it stand out in my head.

People giving punk a face is NOT punk. Punk does not have to be a anarchist drunk that questions authority. Punk is having the balls to say that you are a capitalist lawyer and obeys the law and actually standing for it. That is my opinion in any case, does not necassarily have to mean it's true.

i just... don't get it. Sorry, I just don't understand the whole 'punk' thing; seems like a load of reactionary conformity to me, albeit I am speaking as a child of the 90s. Someone, please justify this music to me, I am open to interpretation.
satanilmiopadrone 1 year ago
@satanilmiopadrone I can understand why you don't get it. Punk started out in the mid-70's as a form of socialist movement that wished to bring down a highly right-wing party in power in Britain at the time. This subversion started out as butchering poetry with psychedelic rock (fore-most of this was the band OJ). It then grew into a diverse structure. Fast forward to the mid-90's and the structure changed due to many reasons but the act of subversion was replaced by a blind denial of any form-

@satanilmiopadrone - of authority. Ultimately when music's commercial appeal started to expand and the need for bands to become in some sense marketable punk-rock grew, both in mainstream and underground, as a back-lash to this increased commercialism and. This was then scraped by most record-companies due to the fact it nurtured an unmanageable roster and now it's all about the blind denial of authority. Opinion is split due to Some believing that blind denial to authority leads to blind-

@satanilmiopadrone - acceptance to appear to reject it (even if they truly don't) while others consider it to be a genuine war-cry for social and/or anarchical reform in an oppressive world. I hope that helps you to justify it for yourself (I'm not one to "recruit" for one camp or another) or at least shed some light over what everyone's on about. Oh and sorry for the wall of text, but history isn't brief :P.

@satanilmiopadrone I'm with you, this is my favourite band of all time and I have no time for their critics and the naive dickheads who talk about them "selling out" but at the end of the day they never changed anything politically. The previous reply is just plain wrong, not least because Labour were in power until '79 - The Clash were talking about South American politics by the time of Thatcher.

the Clash never wanted to be limited by Punk's image, although though they still considered themself to be a punk band when others questioned the image they created after London Calling.

I've always thought some of the ideals of Punk were totally mashed up anyway.... hypocritical and contradictory...
From "Do what you want" to "Okay, follow these rules"
"I can do this" "You can't do this"
the Clash did what they wanted. I think that's to be admired. Same goes to Green Day, Joe Strummer liked them, probably because he also admired the path they took of doing what they liked.

the guy who said that the clash flickered out after london calling is reatarted..... London calling was 1979.... this concert is 1983.... they had a ten year run, and still released Rock the Casbah, and Magnificent Seven....
subjective opinion that they got worse, they changed, because real punk is going against the flow.... just like Jazz, except real punk is more politically directed and full of aignst.... They changed, but hardly got worse.

No, Terry was the original part of the band, raw punk songs with direct messages... I was speaking about Topper's major and unrepeatable role in an improving ultimate sound of the Clash.. The Clash is one of my favorite and most influential band ever. After Topper departure from the band, the Clash will never be the same..
CROMarioVk 1 year ago
@CROMarioVk Yeah I gotta give it to you there cause everyone knows that after London Calling they just sorta fickled away which is a true shame in my opinion. Greatest Punk Band that ever lived going out by getting worse over time.
BassistNinja 1 year ago
@ B.Ninja -True, that's also my opinion. London Calling - real masterpiece, school matriculation mandatory for any "punk rock musicians". Sandinista would be OK single album, not triple But, like in any other band, personal and creative situation slowly comes to saturation, and break is inevitable. They are strongly influenced my way of thinking and attitude towards the musics, politics, friendship and most important, r'n'r attitude... Best regards for all Clash City Rockers wherever they are...

@superTarikP Dude Joe is a punk rock warlord! Punk is not a huge dress up game and hating the government for no reason. Punk is when there is a rebellion against the government that is being UNFAIR. Like in American, we are failing into Communism. The government is starting to control companies and it is starting to force people in to laws that are not right to some people. Our main government is way too powerful too! The Clash was against this! You are right man!
