@HeathInClearLake You fucking idiot. Green Day had their start too. They used to be a small shitty punk band that played at 924 Gilman St. back in the hay day. They were right there at the end of all that west coast punk scene with bands like NoFX, Minor Threat, Propaghandi, etc fucking etc.
So yeah, they might suck now, but there was a time...
Levi's used this when I was still at secondary school in '91. Strummer died in 2002. Probably the best thing about the commercials back then, is that it introduced my contemporaries to decent music. :-)
omfg lol i cant believe this add gave my fav band ever there only number 1 hit, wtf is this shit i mean they played the song wrong ,it looks fucking gay, all fucked up i mean this so embarrasing i mean i wonder what the clash lads would think of this?
Oddio..questo spot lo facevano durante i break pubblicitari in occasione del concerto di Michael Jackson a Bucarest nel 1992....mi ricordo come se fosse ieri!
Today in my PHSE lesson at college, my teacher told us that she worked for the advertising media company in charge of making this advert. She got to meet Brad and she has made an awful lot of Levi jeans. Hope this of interest to someone. :)
Very welcome, it took about all my life to get this video now in ours pc's. I watched it about 17 years ago only on mtv television. And only after about 12 years i got it on vhs. Then i lost that vhs... And only after long time period i got it again, and ripped! ;)

Clash=only band that ever mattered

And don't you ever dare compare anyone to Joe Strummer, let alone that hack Billy J. Armstrong. BJA wears mascara.

@staphinfection they've always sucked. And the west coast punk scene? It also sucked. They turned passion into a fashion.

as soon as joe died the rest of the clash was able to sell out joe wouldn't have stood for that crap

@sword4thelord it`s good that the ad introduced you to the clash ,but as a fan from the early days i think this one of their worst songs

questo è uno dei tanti spot che continua ha manifestare che il LEVIS 501 è IL jeans più figo che possa esistere sul mercato.
personalmete credo che un buon intenditore di denim capisca di che cosa sto parlando!

There is a reason why this song was allowed for the advert....it was to do with getting a mate who was down on his luck out of the shit.
