London Calling

[Charleybones]

Tony Bennett applauding at 3:34. Now Joe would have laughed at that....

[anoyeswmht]

who is the drummer?

[Dilliboy63]

elvis costello FTW!!

[defleppardgirl2009]

This is an amazing verson. frankly I think that Joe would have loved it

[acdc11491]

Grohl looks like clapton here, kinda cool lol

[longi94pc]

bruce and the clash are the best

[GuitarBoyA7X]

whos van zandt ?

[Dilliboy63]

townes van zandt, look'em up he's important

[deichbeat]

@GuitarBoyA7X guitar player in the e street band (with springsteen ) and "silvio dante" of the sopranos..

[Aujouret]

"Boring Old Farts"?

If Joe were alive today he would be 57. A senior citizen.

A BOF himself. Joe was proud to be in rock and roll. He loved and respected many forms of music and was happy to be respected by his piers. He was brilliant.

[Aujouret]

They are just showing their love and respect for Joe. Well deserved, of course. There was only one Joe Strummer. I miss him so much.

[TheLatchford]

honir9 they are trying there best give them a break,when you hit the turf what do you wan us all to sing hope u like it,in fact i think we all turn up in pink and sing HE WAS A GOOD BOY AND WE ALL LOVED HIM HA HA be safe u madmad i get ure drift

[alexei1922]

BRAVO!!!!!!!!!!

[joeybakerboardking]

i live less than a mile from where bruce springsteen paid his dues

[BobbySmoke]

I think the drummer is Pete Thomas from Elvis Costello's the Attractions and the Imposters.

[Honir9]

Sucks. So wrong. Joe's rolling over...

[tapz1972]

Big Pile Of Steaming Wank!!!

[zshot2188]

god they suck at this song

[Love666metal714]

Dave Grohl is everywhere....Jesus christ.

[dadswizz]

when springstein says "this is for joe" i feel like jumping on stage and head-butting him, then kick costello straight in the nuts. i'm not a big fan of them. as might see ! ! i know they mean well, but they are still shit. the best thing costello ever did was not come back from america. all of them boring old farts.

[tapz1972]

Hahahaaaa Yepp Yepp I hear ya....Their trying so hard too lol

[Hiiino]

Epiiiiiiiiiiiiiiic

[nunctecognovi]

Anyone can tell me Van Zandt first name?

[EtienneNirvanaBob]

Steven

[nunctecognovi]

thank you. I didn't know that he and the actor in the Sopranos who plays Silvio Dante were the same person. It's so weird...

[54spiritedwill54]

This is AMAZING

[spartyman7]

THE best moment in the history of the Grammys

[georgerandotti]

In your dreams you want to suck me off. Not going to happen man. -NOT- going to happen.

These types of thoughts are not on a normal Hetro's mind. You've got some issues Brohan.

:(

[georgerandotti]

It's a "Tribute" by his peers. It shows RESPECT. Something you know nothing about.

[GoodTimeTraveler]

georgerandotti sucks cock!

Gee, don't like that personal attack?

Then stop attacking.

btw, lots have posted negs on this vid - it's called opinion - live with it, then grow up.

geez.

[georgerandotti]

F YOU man. That stage is BRIMMING over with Rock History paying homage to a fellow Legend! Bow your head. :(

[GoodTimeTraveler]

Quantity is not quality.

If 4 guitars rox why not 8, 12 maybe 40 guitars on stage?

This tribute might have been fresher and edgier if performed by musicians influenced by Strummer, not his aging contemporaries.

[GoodTimeTraveler]

a bit flat without the original pounding bass and stummers riffs after each verse. Where's the riffs?

It starts out ok but after a few bars I just feel like barfing watching these jerks.

Gee, talk about 'phony beatlemania...'

[DAndEFilms]

nice

[ukgovtstufffathers]

I miss Joe..Bizarre i spent an afternoon with him in 1995 without knowing who he was..then in 2005 i moved to Bridgwater and found out all about this face i'd met who had died two years earlier in Bridgy..spooky .. The Future is unwritten" but watch out for the Reptiles ...Zombies of Death!!

[Kattcatkittygal]

Great group of Musicians. I have never seen this before. Thanks for sharing it. I miss

Joe Strummer.....

[Ileuspaulino]

legal..........

[gwenstefanidudefan]

Oh my gosh in the background that's Tony Kanal from No Doubt! Ha ha I love No Doubt Cool....song is very good also :)

[peteOooman]

great tribute to a great man!

[veitchk]

visionary.......b.n.p.

[pghpa611]

Cutting Edge, innovated, inspiring and creative these are the qualities of The Clash.

..............................­................

On a personal side step>>>> As age finds its way to all of us its only reward is the knowledge that we grew up in the most amazing time in history. Disagree, its because you weren't there . Have to Run ,,, London's Calling......... PEACE

[wtmyageagain]

I LIVE BY THE RIVVER

[spartyman7]

This is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!

[tayandbritt4eva]

hey joetaiwan1 u a jack ass the clash is one of the greatest bands of all time! i should tell u to gargle peanut butter

[joetaiwan1]

High quality music. Evil politics. I don't support Nazism, Communism or racism-all similar ideologies in their inhumanity. People who support these types of ideas should be criticized.

[joetaiwan1]

The Clash were Marxists, and therefore responsible for spreading ideas that killed a lot more people than Bush ever did.

[Spazikstan]

lolwut?

[texasradio73]

shut up

[ale999999]

asshole

[brooking1001]

this is for joetalwan1...go and see what your friend georgeee Bush is doing in places like Afghanistan and Iraq:) what a stupid,ignorant and ilinformed comment....

[joetaiwan1]

I dislike Mr. Bush (for different reasons than you.) Regardless, even the most severe critic of Mr. Bush surely would not compare his policies to the horrors wrought by Marxism. That would be,well, "stupid, ignorant and ill informed."

[psophan]

finally, someone online that speaks sense, seriously, people out there who compare George bush to Marxists and Nazis are real morons. Never has Bush carried out the act of genocide and he has never purged the U.S. of 1.2 million people (around the number that died from Stalin's rule in Russia during the great purge) Sure, he's made some mistakes, and won't be remembered as the U.S.'s favorite president, but on the other hand, he isn't a dictator like people like to think, he's gone in <6 months!

[joetaiwan1]

Thank you. and, yes, it will be a PEACEFUL transition of power. I don't know many dictators who walk away from authority because of a constitution.

[Kattcatkittygal]

BUSH not a "Dictator', But he is a puppet. Bush's does nothing but lie,live in ego and self interest. As President, he took an OAT to represent "WE THE PEOPLE" For me, he representing BIG BUSINESS. The WAR in IRAG

is NOT for the PEOPLE. It's for his interest, and Cheney has interest in Halliburton. Bush has done nothing to help the average American, only corporate America. BUSH has not KILLED Millions of People, Do you know how many people have come home in body bags?

[AnRK1936]

The Clash wern't Marxists you fuckin idiot. The only song where any specific political ideology is mentioned is "Spanish Bombs" which was about the Catalonion anarchists in Spanish during WW2, and in that there's the line "they see a red flag, they want a black one" which is referencing their struggle AGAINST Marxists. Do some fuckin reading.

Great cover though.

[joetaiwan1]

Dear me. Is that the kind of language we use to mask when we don't know what we're talking about?

I think you need to listen to the Clash a little more, especially, "Sandinista."

Cheers!

[AnRK1936]

Being anti-capitalist doesn't necessitate that you are a socialist, that's all I was getting at. I assume your judging that I'm young and politically uneducated with your patronising tone, but you'd be wrong on both counts. What I meant by "specific" was an obvious association, such as red flag and black flag respectively with communism and anarchism.

What kind of punk fan are you exactly to look down on swearing anyway? Plenty of very Academic and Intellectual people swear like sailors.

[joetaiwan1]

Well, this reply is more civilized, so I won't be patronizing.

Interesting point. I'm not sure I'm convinced. If you're against capitalism, what are you? I mean either you believe in private property rights or don't.

I dislike swearing. I think it's an ugly form of expression. but that's really a big topic.I didn't mean to imply that it's unintelligent, just ugly.

"Sandinista"refers to the Marxists who seized power in Nicaragua. I think that's very specific.

[AnRK1936]

With stuff like that, I don't necessarily believe that they are always in favour of the ideals, more their spirit of combating a force which exploits and dictates over them. Obviously most forms of Socialism have proven to be just as bad as Capitalism and Representative Democracy combined.

I believe in ParEcon, a self regulatory economy with supply and demand involved. It's philosophy involves no direct ownership, just a structure where peoples property "ownership" is a social matter.

[joetaiwan1]

Thanks for your reply. Well, I'm a little unclear on your meaning because supply and demand are facts no matter what political system is in place. The choice is just to ignore those facts or not.

But my bigger point is that your system requires violence or threats of violence to implement. How else can you expropriate property without force?

[AnRK1936]

Yeah I just meant it actually involved listening to supply and demand more in line with the way Capitalism does, rather then the horrendously inefficient way in which Socialist economies work.

There's no real violence involved in it's implementation, just people involved in businesses take matters into their own hands, rather then the violent revolts in alot of anti-capitalist philosophies. Look it up for yourself man, it'll provide better answers then I can.

[ashena2000]

I love The Clash-but I do miss Joe Strummer-but they still have great appeal I think!

[r8ltl]

what the fu hippy arses

[moshugari]

That was fucking shithouse

[Jman077]

Does anyone know who the rhythm section is?

[FranklinS123456]

well i can at least tell you the bass player is tony kanal or whatever his name is from No Doubt

[lmiteyone]

too bad curt cobain is gone...could you see him instead of miami steve??

[texasradio73]

no cos kurt was a poofter scream like a bitch junkie

[beanday2]

this is the best version of the song i ever heard

[dmanstoit]

[grhamilton95]

[RonPaul2008dotcomluv]

Love the energy!

[izobelsutton]

WANKER NOT EVEN LOOK ALIKES

[asbury26]

geeez, i remember that seeing on tv years ago and i was so impressed by its energy! glad to have found that on you tube. thanks for posting it here!

[Harry022]

Doesnt work with the American accents.

[bababoum]

true.

[ditsieblonde]

What a tribute to the greatest !!!

[spiritanimal]

strummer was amazing, i can't believe some people weren't standing to applaud.

[ThatSpick]

u don't noe rock if u don't noe the "old people" of rock

[warrencampbell]

why the hell do they need 4 guitarists?

[nobrainnobrain69]

It's a tribute to Joe Strummer...

[virulentwaif]

my gosh he must be 11 "who are the old geezers singing London calling?" it certainly isnt U2 you dumb bastard

[nnowgoo]

why the hell r old pepole singing london calling?

[OuroborosAnarchy]

The song itself is twenty seven years old itself so the ones singing are the ones from the era it was released in.. Dumbass.

[creelabc]

dumb c&nt

[roffenils87]

i think its a great way to honer Joe Strummer. of corse it sounds better when strummer sings his song then anyone else.

[Warpig57]

Nothing will ever match the way Joe Strummer could do it.

[bigfeet]

i just wanna say, the boss is old and cant sing. or hold notes. has he ever, really?

[jclarke123]

whos the guy in the suit and glasses? his voice pisses me off

[sza06]

elvis costello

[squittlepunk]

dude, thats elvis costello, smarty

[celticfan60]

tuff shit being you then you dick

[elixirguitarist]

Wow heres another brainless remark, Tony Kanal happens to be quite a good bassist, listen to some of his earlier stuff, and bassists happen to be quite a huge part in music, what would "Another One Bites The Dust" be without bass? nothing thats what, and that is one of the great songs every written.

[dragons2610]

fuck off elixirguitarist!!! what are you going to do for a face when the monkey wants its arse back??

[therisingsuun]

I think Tony Kanal is a bit worse than Dave Grohl. But who cares about bass players amirite?

[ROFLPWNSMAGES]

Wow, nice language there buddy, quit trying to build a intelligent response with cursing every other word. And you never answered my questions, why did they let him on stage with them? I'm sure Grohl didnt beg, and I have listened to Bonham, Chambers, Smith, Bozzio, Etc. I've heard all the greats so quit acting like I only listen to Grohl's drumming, and I have read and own several reviews that hail Grohl as being one if not THE best drummer in the world.

[ROFLPWNSMAGES]

Maybe you should question your own "Stupid opinions" before trashing someone elses who never put down anybody in the first place.

[ROFLPWNSMAGES]

And who can scream like Dave Grohl? NOBODY...(Note, pussy emo wailing and inaubidble hardcore yelling isnt considered screaming)

[ROFLPWNSMAGES]

I happen to think Grohl is an excellent drummer and to this day I havent heard of anybody who is substantially better than him, listen to Probot and tell me that isnt incredibly creative drumming. Music doesnt always have to be guitar solos or double bass the whole song, that makes for no dynamic, those kinds of bands are dead, lifeless things

[ROFLPWNSMAGES]

I admit Grohl isnt the best guitarist but he is indeed the jack of all trades, Grohl can write genuine rock music that sounds good to the ear of any worth a damn musician so stop letting your fag rock god ego's get in the way of recognizing real talent

[ROFLPWNSMAGES]

To say that Dave Grohl is a talentless musician is a truly ignorant remark, obviously these guys respect him enough to let him on stage with them so stop acting like Costello, Springsteen, and Van Zandt are gods and Grohl is a peasant.

[kamamakaziii]

got to admit they destroyed a truley fantastic song

[Brianjonestown]

"versitile"??? LOL!! Maybe you should learn to spell before you suck the talent from Dave Grohl's limp dick, little one

[Brianjonestown]

Grohl isn't fit to lick the boots of the other guys. That poseur should get off the fucking stage

[bigfeet]

you8re a dumb piece of elephant shit. dave has more versitile talent than 90% of the worlds population. i think youre not fit to lick the crack of my ass, so u should get off youtube.

[dragons2610]

your a dumb peice of shit big feet. you cant even spell so who are you calling dumb? grohl cant sing and he is a less than average guitarist and a reasonable drummer and all the sudden he is a more 'versitile' haha talent than 90% of the worlds population. and how do you draw that comparison anyway? fuck off cunt

[dragons2610]

i totally agree with you and im going to shit can that wanker that told you to get off you tube. he cant even spell! haha

[Flagss]

this sucks

[Wheez17]

you suck

[newcastlealan9]

thanks for posting this

[jay88i]

is that the guy from sopranos?

[newerajj]

Yep, Steven Van Zandt aka Silvio Dante.

[toacosmo]

Steve Van Zandt? Yeah, he played Silvio Dante.
