PUNK 5 - The Clash interview

[tuzza688]

wow look at joes teeth there worse than lydons lol

[sexpistol455]

SEX PISTOLS!!!!!

[MyAccount4TrollingU]

FUCK ISLAM

[JulieFromDrugSquad]

mick is so hot and i love his shirt!

[hoonkytonkywoman]

My mum designed the Clash cloths .....

[geegeefaggot]

@hoonkytonkywoman Your mum is awesome, no questions :D

[PrisonBreakFilms]

you know what? even if punk bands started emerging again, adressing society issues and playing with sincerity, the sad truth is, noone would give a fuck for them. the world's been corrupted too much by things like lady gaga and green day.

[btcc11]

Negative lyrics? Fuck off!

[stylerz00r]

They look high, Paul especially :D

[DrugStabbingTime]

@mrlee192 Agree 100% with you there, man.

[TheInvisibleCollege]

The interviewer makes the mistake of lumping all the early British punk bands together. You really can't compare the winkingly incendiary sensationalism of the sex pistols to the honesty of the clash.

[EdNortonisMineLol]

Damn, Joe looks gooood here...

[ThisIsEnglaaand]

Paul Simonon is so sexy in this

[manualmaniac1]

wow wt a awesome interview the clash interviewd by velma from scooby doo!

[GuyWithNoName67]

The Clash is my favorite punk rock band. Paul seems really high here. And their drummer at the time (Terry Chimes? Tory Crimes? something like that...) wasn't really important to the band before and during the recording of their debut.

[707Beanmr]

Almost every thing they say is as true today as it was the! I feel punk needs a revival especially with the economic climate, failing Tory government, increasing class gap and racism

[coolbean08]

Where's Topper? :(

[thecoolestfreak]

@coolbean08 I don't think he was in the band at that point :)

[coolbean08]

@thecoolestfreak oh, i was hoping he wasnt left out, he seems like always the shy one to me ;')

[PBANDSNOW]

Joe is so articulate.

[ManFromMelbourne]

Ha ha! Paul`s had a few too many lines of speed i think.

[selectajump]

the interviewer is so fucking boring

[samtron75v1]

paul is rockin back an' forth for the whole video

[4l4ddin77]

are they smoking weed?

[PBANDSNOW]

@4l4ddin77 Probably ;)

[4l4ddin77]

paul simon

[villadavid4ever]

@4l4ddin77 Simon-on..it´s Paul Simonon.

[Spiderwebsider]

Click on some of the Clash postings here and you might find this message:

"This video contains content from Sony Music Entertainment. It is not available in your country."

Take a big dump on 'em Joe, wherever you are, this is not what is was about is it mate?

[PartOfThe21stCentury]

man i wish there was still good bands out there like that.... sure i love green day, but you know what i mean. it`s sad how many people don`t even know what punk is. so many people have said to me that i`m `goth`. anyways, the clash fuckin rules, so thanks joe, paul, nicky and mick! and didnt billie joe (green day) look like joe strummer when he was younger

[spikedude44]

@PartOfThe21stCentury he sure did, but it was no coincidence, he wanted to look like him.

[xFreakshowDreams]

@PartOfThe21stCentury

Oi, I know the feeling. The fucking 'emo' thing is getting on my nerves, too. Nothing pisses me off more than that stupid crap. Punk is real. What do goths and those damn 'emos' gotta say about THAT?

[Waldenpunk]

@PartOfThe21stCentury

There are plenty of good bands out there: The Mansfields, The Love Me Nots, The Maggots, The Mummies, The Dolly Rots, The Preachers...stop living in the past, man and stop listening to the radio!

[AmericanEulogy240]

RIP Joe Strummer and I agree Paul is awesome

[ManFromMelbourne]

I think Paul`s had too much speed or coke here.

[imaguy817]

fuck man this is depressing. not the interview, the fact that im about as old now as paul was in this, and hes a billion times cooler.

[ladymelde]

Luv ya Joe!

[jillhodges1]

Paul simonon is my favorite person. He is so chill. And funny. And knows when and when not to be serious. And you can tell that as he got older he changed as a person but never really grew up. He's the only punk I've ever heard of who could actually let himself age with that inevitable monster of time without being in a constant state of denial nor having a massive mental breakdown. Paul simonon, you're my hero.

[taxmonkey123]

I'd fuck Paul and I'm straight.

[PartOfThe21stCentury]

then ur not straight buddy

[reecegeorge]

What the!interview Clash play Pistols!!!Your leading our young astray!!!!

[FunkyPunk881]

Awesome, "complexesies"

Oh Joe, WHY WHY WHY did you have to go so soon?!

[omgitsmattutube]

lol i love punks ( real punks ) in interview they always sound so confused and unsure like why the fuck r u interviewing us lol

[jonomutiny]

Simonon is speeding off his face, he cannot sit still, Ha ha ha ha, Great band...Strummer was a fuckin genius........................­but I still love Zep, ha ha ha

[X0MissHolly0X]

Joe Stummer RIP Warlord Hero, Punk Icon. You are missed,mate! <3

[ishcarly]

joee was sooo cool.

[mgtkr1]

knew it was janet st porter before i saw her, the voice hasnt altered much.

[RConnorable]

1 May take a holiday.

[Freddaroo]

lmao. the guy in the middle is just getting high and not even giving anything about the interview. pure punk

[alexachos]

hes smoking a cigarette.

[JaineyJones]

the guy in the middle lol that's paul simonon the hottest most amazing bass player in the world lol.

[NeebsLucas11]

true dat.

[Sleaz11]

lol Paul is the best

[kinghani]

Is that woman who I think she is?

[ofxxxthexxxflowers]

who do you think she is? I know who I think she is.

[kinghani]

You first.

[ofxxxthexxxflowers]

well, I'm probably wrong, but I thought it was Janet Street-Porter. That accent and those teeth did it for me, and she's probably the right age too. Though I might be wrong. Who did you think it was?

[kinghani]

The same. Great minds assume alike eh?

[ofxxxthexxxflowers]

so it would appear :D

[TheModdy]

well I though´tha´

[TheModdy]

Is paul under crack or wha`?

[madriot1977]

Might be....

[ManFromMelbourne]

Ha Ha. Paul`s speeding off his dial.

[Dork1234angusyoung]

im with you on that dude

[Disappearingboy1039]

At first i didn't like The Clash to much now i'm in love with them. They're so good

[completecontrol77]

I WANT MICK'S SHIRT!!!!!!!!!

[StrummerLivesxxx]

I think Mick Jones was gorgeous.

R.I.P Joe

[purenectar]

their lyrics are not negative...

[ripthisjoint908]

@purenectar thats what i was thinking haha. the lyrics inspired a generation!

[pistols16]

R.I.P. JOE

I MISS YOU.......

[SamBradfordlove]

Stop talking black

[skatehain]

paul looks coked out of his mind.

[Stumpjumper14]

Why is it that mick sounds like the gayest person ever? It makes no sense at all.

[EmotionBleuPetrole]

paul simonon looks very young here

[jverlander35]

@EmotionBleuPetrole he was. paul is the man!

[mattwaatti]

hey amn the clash fucking rock's no other answers

[AsGoodAs90]

Their music meant something deeper than just singing about a subject. They expressed their opinions, criticised flaws of the society. Uncensored and honest opinions in an increasingly corrupt and shallow world.

[blades92]

"But its anther generation to yours."

"Yeah, one that went wrong."

Lmao Pauls a true legend. Rip joex

[umarcan]

well this reflects worse on Street Porter than anyone else-she's hardly setting the world on fire

[Racoonbob]

the funniest quote of joe is "the reason girls wear pointed shoes is to see which direction theyre walking in"

[mescalero78]

"Well i mean if there was jobs they wouldn't be on the dole, and maybe we would be singing about love and kissing or something."

<3 Joe Strummer.

[bhurintk]

<3 i love u k

[Dr0ctave]

Wow... Janet Street Porter used to be quite cute.

[DarkGhost678]

why wouldnt they play a clash song after the interview

[STRANGEFRU1T]

i love the clash. rip joe.

[jobbieface]

is that kucking janet fusckig street kicking porter ! the xnuficking buck toothed lesbo splitarse...!

[orangetoes223]

that twat had no idea what she was talking about so funny

[MrscmfTownend]

datz tha shitt my nigga

[rockchic21]

exactly the same rock music has died we've just got to accept it

i don't understand why EVERY FUCKING MUSICIAN is the same bland old shit even though everyones trying to different. Musicians have NOTHING to say, i dont get it, there is SO MUCH going on today whilst everyone just sings about boring pretentious abstract BULLSHIT

joe strummer i love you FOREVER

[ohhxdahhling]

oh, i agree.

it's absolutely terrible.

It's like disco is starting all over again.

[opticalsound67]

janet street porter is a riot!!!

[Raymond1970]

Haha Janet Street Porter

[ohhxdahhling]

"There just has to be new groups."

Thank God someone realized that.

The majority of top 40 and general music sucked in the mid-late 70s, before punk had its revolution.

Then again, that's my opinion.

[waqman]

The Clash, best punk band ever!

[1960unclemort]

best BAND ever

[supadupamike]

punk punk punk punk the word has lost all meaning. as has the attitude the music. punk is dead. realize and move on.

[asinzuar]

the interviewer's quite pretty.

[robinsminstrel]

SEXPISTOLS75, so what you're saying is that you agree that sid was a drug addict murderer, but he's still one of your idols? you a big fan of charles manson too?

for the record i never said music today is better than punk, i am saying it now however. even the killers, zutons and all those shite rock bands today are better than punk. the clash have some good songs, but they seem to be the exception rather than the rule.

now if you want some real music search for, hendrix, zeppelin, the doors

[SEXPISTOLS75]

why do yall care about who my idol is!!

NO!i dont like charels manson!

i do like SOME new music...just not the emo shit

[skanetheclash]

punk is not about playing good music

[skanetheclash]

robinsmintrel you don´t understand the punk..

[lazymornings]

some people only know how to be sheep like!!!having a punk view and doing what makes you happy is too confusing for some, it's sad but true.

[skanetheclash]

people think that only because you like punk you have to get stoned, brake things...

(not far from the truth in some cases)

im sorry about my english xD

[lazymornings]

being punk to me,means wanted a different way of living, a much more honest way, without liers in suits telling people whats right and what they should think, thats punk.

[skanetheclash]

yeah

being punk for me is not wearing black clothes and having punk haircuts

i think being punk is want to fight the discriminations, all that politic liers, being a good person with everyone... i dont know how to say it in english..jaj

i think everybody must be how they want, i want people to be the way they really are not the way that society tells them to be

[Brandondryer40324]

thats almost exactly the way i view it. but i view it as doing things the way you want and not the way everyone tells you to be. stand out from everyone else. its not how you dress or look. yes having a punk haircut and having black clothes is cool. but thats not what being punk is about.

[skanetheclash]

im TOTALLY agree with you

[mynameiskelly1]

I agree Why is everyone talking about Sid Vicious? Although I have to say someone either got it wrong or didnt make themselves clear when they said Sid Vicious wasn't in the band when this aired. Sid Vicious was not in the Clash anyway. maybe they meant Sid was not in The Sex Pistols when this aired?! But it sounded like they were referring to the clip above and of course Sid Vicious was not in The Clash. I'll just add that Joe Strummer remains a hero of mine.

[1960unclemort]

sid never wrote or played on any pistols records

[whitedwarf13]

@1960unclemort He played on Bodies, off the album and on a couple of Great Rock N Roll Swindle tracks.

[UtoobRulz]

sid was a joke to me.

[Mariagaro]

I wish i had live that moment!

[doomtints]

Sid wasn't even in the band when this was aired, so why the fuck is anyone talking about Sid here anyway?

[SEXPISTOLS75]

'cause he's a idol

(an idol for me)

[GrottyWanker69]

No matter how iconic for punk he was Sid is not someone to idolize. he was a complete and utter fuckup. he shot up, got hepatitis sucked ass at playing bass and got into fights that weren't nessecary. He was a moron.

[SEXPISTOLS75]

what ever hes still my idol

[GrottyWanker69]

Idolize a fucktard if you want, it's just stupid to idolize someone the didn't really do anything. he couldn't even play his instrument for christ's sake, the only reason he was ever in the pistols was because he was johnny's friend.

[clivetemple]

But isn't that like saying Picasso couldn't paint because he thought the sky was green and grass was blue? You're completely missing what punk was all about.

[SEXPISTOLS75]

why do even care who my idol is anyway???

[MattAull]

who's your idols the sex pistols are warner brothers, sex pistols are simply warner brother group of people they can call punk, the sex pistols are just like a cartoon but warener brothers felt bugs bunny should have spiked hair and a studded jacket

[SEXPISTOLS75]

SID FUCKING VICIOUS

[jimmyclaw99]

Worst bassist to ever pretend he could play

[MrscmfTownend]

nigga wat eva

[pistols16]

who sid

[aintnoplum]

mans is cluckn

[robinsminstrel]

he was a heroin addicted bass player of a band DESPITE the fact that he could'nt play the instrument, oh and he also murdered his girlfriend.

why in the name of god is he respected and not despised?

[SEXPISTOLS75]

Sid's My Hero

[SEXPISTOLS75]

And I Miss Sid

[robinsminstrel]

yeah if there's one thing the world needs

it's more drug filled, talentless, murdering, worthless pieces of shit

[SEXPISTOLS75]

What The Fuck Does That Mean

[SEXPISTOLS75]

Dont talk about sid like that

He Was A GREAT Guy

[johnnyeatsmonkeys1]

No he wasn't. He mutilated animals, shot up regularly, and was a complete idiot. How is that GREAT guy? Look past the iconic punk image and learn a thing or two about what a punk rocker really is.

[Brandondryer40324]

yeah really. he probably couldnt play but i thought he was cool.

[Brandondryer40324]

actually that sounds better than what the world has now

[Brandondryer40324]

we need less of the bullshit music we have now. and more of what we see in videos like these. mater of fact is there are more talentless pieces of shit now.

[SEXPISTOLS75]

I MISS JOE!

[Joeypunx999]

"CREATIVE VIOLENCE" man im gonna do that on my jacket

[stopthewarNALG]

wow! try to understand everything!not easy for a french person guy!cant ask dem to speak slowly!lol; such a charismatic band.

[zx7gp]

No,they are not stoned,thats just what happens when ya dont eat your fruit and veggies laddies!

If it wasnt for The Clash we may still be asleep from the 70's.They woke me up and gave me hope.Never be a band like that again.

[MetalForBlood]

Fucking legends!

But yeah, that dude's high... kinda obvious :L

[SEXPISTOLS75]

Who?

[vigi75]

lool they look absolutely stoned! paul is really funny, looking like he was ready to dance (but still sexy, yet^^) i really love this band!

[cj93070]

76 wasnt it this interview my word 32 years ago joe didnt look any older than he did in 85 but mick and paul look so look there.

[MimeSex]

Paul Simonon is so hardcore. xD

[tomydono]

pauls wasted!

[SEXPISTOLS75]

How Do You Know That?

[ePhilosopher]

but they're rarely gonna knock

[ProiteXswe]

Love U!

[ajittffcure]

The interviewer was so biased here. She was indirectly giving the impression that punks were all morons. In reality, the true punks spoke with such substance and wisdom.

The interviewer finally questioned- "What do the Sex Pistols mean by Anarchy in the UK?" as if back then she was living in a place like an Alice in Wonderland!

[OzTvAgogo]

It looks like she learned her interviewing, and I use the term loosely, techniques from Bill Grundy.

[ajittffcure]

Bill Grundy was a very ignorant and an unprofessional interviewer!

[Blenhemshots]

"If they weren't on the dole would they still be your fans?"

Yes they would - because they were one of the best Rock'n'Roll bands of the 20th century - BITCH!

[ProiteXswe]

"If they weren't on the dole would they still be your fans?"

Yes they would - because they were one of the best Rock'n'Roll bands of the 20th century - BITCH!

Rock'n'Roll bands??? PUNK band! Punks not dead! punk for ever!

[Blenhemshots]

Even The Sex Pistols described themselves as "Rock'n'Roll" - it's simply a generic term for electric guitar based modern music, post 1955. (-; But hey you're right, punk forever!

[screamingblueme]

I like

[concretedonkey]

lol strummer cant pronounce moog right

[kirkbyla]

and you point is what,how do you say moog

or how can you say moog wrongly

[concretedonkey]

don't get me wrong strummers awesome its just pronounced so it rhymes with rouge. he says it and sounds kinda like a cow XD

[popiko6]

they look so stoned.....! But still they're perfectly posing...!
