@jcrown01 HA! Fuck I miss you Strummer. All the good ones are gone. There will never be another Strummer, Cobain, Hendrix. At least there are recordings.
'Have to agree with the last few sentiments. Joe's music and singing was more developed as he matured and experimented with musical styles. The lytrics and music really complement one another. Ultimately, he and the Mecaleros were really having 'fun' again... :-R
It sometimes seems that musicians who decide to fly solo are never as good as the band they became famous with. Not so with Joe Strummer. He was always great with The Clash, and man, do I love him with the Mescaleros. They put out some really strong albums together. I'll forever remember Joe Strummer as a decent, sensitive soul.
This guy gave off an energy that touched everyone even if you dont believe in that sort of stuff it still hit ya right in the heart, love you Joe and always will.
R.I.P. Joe and thanks for the music you left behind.
Still get emotional thinking about Joe and how much he gave us in the way too short time he was here. I agree with what the others have said about the generous vibe you get from his music, and the fact that the stuff he was doing with the Mesacleros was getting better and better. There'll never be another like you, Joe...glad I knew you, if only through your music.
I think this vid best captures what a Joe Strummer concert felt like. The previous commenters have it right: Joe Strummer was an absolute joy, and did his best to share that with the rest of us.
The biggest thing I get from this song, especially watching it performed live, is the absolute joy in Joe Strummer's words and music. There's such a feeling of hope, of generosity, of respect and tolerance in these five minutes. He may not be with us, but he'll always be with us, you know?
Joe understood that passion is the only fashion. Joe was a genius blend of anger, intelligence and energy. Can't believe he's gone. What are we gonna do now?
I taped it too. This was the best track, much better live. The interview from 89 was really interesting. Also had a cracking live version of English Civil War if memory serves.
This version is fucking dynamite. Still miss the man to this day. He was getting better and better just as we lost him. Ah well 4 years of the Mescaleros is better than 20 years of most other bands.
Ahhh... to hear that great raspy voice live.. miss him ... Love him!! A lot of people don't realize what a genuinly nice guy he was, and that the whole Clash thing was so far behind him??
everything this man ever done is right up there, no doubts about it, genius, and missed, I'm glad he made so much in such a short life ! how come all the greats die young ! ! is it a curse ?
Ragga, Bhangra, two-step Tanga Mini-cab radio, music on the go Um, surfbeat, backbeat, frontbeat, backseat There's a bunch of players and they're really letting go We got, Brit pop, hip hop, rockabilly, Lindy hop Gaelic heavy metal fans fighting in the road Ah, Sunday boozers for chewing gum users They got a crazy D.J. and she's really letting go Oh, welcome stranger Welcome stranger to the humble neighborhoods LOVE YOU JOE STRUMMER!!!
Joe and the Mescaleros were an awesome band. I was fortunate enough to see them in Boston at the Roxy. It was probably the best show I ever saw. RIP, Joe. You are the greatest!
I bar-b-q'd a ham on the grill for X-mas with my Uncle who I hadn't seen in 15 years ...Yummy pals!!!! Happy Holidays from Southern California ...and a better NEW YEAR ....!!! PUNK ROCK IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT !!! LATE!!!
Suggested Serving 3refdc : watch this video with your 1 year old baby on your lap. If you are lucky - she'll pop open a second window and start playing it twice.
All I see on here are good comments about Joe. Bless him. Good to know that most blokes that listened to and grew up on The Clash have followed the same path...
I've definitely shed more than my share of tears over him and all that was lost when he passed - he was a genius, and really just an awesome, incredible person...wish I coulda known him.
Lol, I'm so glad I found this posting!!! When I bought the album, I went through and tried to eat all the food he lists off, duck, okra, empaladas, Tikka chicken, etc... It expanded my mind for food. Thanks again Joe! You've made my life a richer thing!
It's not in TFIU, I think its from a Channel 4tribute special. You can turn it into an mp3 directly from youtube with Freecorder (free software), though.
Ladies and gentlemen, Joe fucking Strummer! In about as much as a capsule that you could contain all that he was in: the lyrics say it, the music says it, the power of the performance...his joy of playing. I love this video.
i cannot believe you just took the words right out of my mouth. i made the same comment to my friend to whom i just sent the link to this video. joe is a master of commanding the audiences attention, especially in the part where he has to describe his own music. joe is a musical genius, his stuff will outlast all generations.
The Clash....the last great rock band. Haunted Joe to the end....the one that got away. Rest in peace. 9 years and 1 day.
