Joe Strummer plays piano

[ichi6417isaberi]

A legend ! Your interprétattion is really original. I love it. :D

Thumb up !

[PBANDSNOW]

He may have not been able to play guitar very well (I think he was pretty good), but he could play the hell out of that piano!!!

[NOFX207]

He plays piano just like he plays guitar. FAAAAAAAAAAST AS HELL

[celticchris1888]

i grew up on this mans voice and music . and now im nearly 30 and still miss him every day

[LNA3igD]

Does anybody know what chords he used for "No Reason"?

[DCarnold84]

@LNA3igD It sounds like: G C G D to me. Sounds like he's hitting octaves of G starting in the 2nd verse and continuing to generally tear it up with those throughout. That piano (and Joe) sound awesome.

[DCarnold84]

@DCarnold84 Optional Correction: The piano is flat so I guess you could play it all a half step down... it might be easier to do this on guitar than piano. Great tunes sound good in any key anyhow.

[LNA3igD]

@DCarnold84 Thanks, just got a chance to sit down at my piano to try it out. My piano must be flat as well, because the G C G D sounds good on my piano but the half step down sounds better on my guitar. I'm gonna go mess with it some more, thanks again for the help.

[DCarnold84]

@LNA3igD You are very welcome.

[HowlDono]

Anyone know the cords hes playing???

[pshicokiller]

[RockinBlues4]

[Boogieboy138]

Is there anything he can't do?

[pshicokiller]

This video makes me cry .

Just thinking that Joe Strummer is dead and Ray Gange is nowhere to be seen.....

[profuselyx]

@pshicokiller Gange is touring with the Dropkick Murpheys

[MansourtheAmazing]

fucking jam

rip joe you champion

[ManFromMelbourne]

Did Slade do a cover of this song too?

[Spraycando]

Top bloke. But I guess this is when he had bad teeth. Ha ha ha. All the best Joe.

[rLadyoftheBlowtorch]

It's called No Reason and Joe wrote it for the film... Then he plays Let the Good Times Roll--this is basically the Shirley & Lee R&B version but I think it's based on an old Cajun song, Laissez les Bons Temps Rouler.

[valebru]

it is an Irish song

[cubeqb]

which one??

[PBANDSNOW]

what song is this, plz reply

[kalibluetoo]

[MustafaHamsho]

I think its just "joe's Tune"

[Kutya81]

"no reason"

[PartyBoy64]

Forgive thy Summer Spent

Without The Great Joe Strummer!

Rest in Peace forever!

[ShebaOfAraby]

Joe better have been reincarnated as something/body that can jam on the piano.

...Fuck. He's probably attained nirvana and is gone for good.

[DangerVonCoken]

no dude nirvana got shot in the face with a shotgun

retard

joe strummer the man

[WestDeanFloyd]

This song is amazing. I wanna start a lil get together and cover this song.

[kalibluetoo]

The first one is on Rude Boy directors cut CD and is called No reason

[frrrrruuunkis]

God Bless.

[conawillvlog]

rest in peace... a legend.

[sidders200]

who are the rorignals of both these songs by?

anyone ???? lol

[kalibluetoo]

I think Shirley and Lee from the 50's sang Let the Good Times Roll and the other I only know as Joe's Tune so maybe Joe

[HexagonalSun]

the first one he wrote for the moive Rude Boy.

[BEaFOOLitsCOOL]

i wish i could have seen joe strummer before he passed away :(

[BEaFOOLitsCOOL]

I love this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[joerocks1977]

Joe Strummer... not enough can be said about him... what a charming smile :-}

[theenglishcivilwar]

oooh yes...

miss you joe

[JamyJack]

Joe Strummer! I could listen to him every minute of my life without getting bored! My hero<3

[kalibluetoo]

Happy Birthday Joe!!8/21 RIP

[robbanzana]

[bigboredthing]

if anybody is interested the DVD of Rudeboy is now available in HMV!! I bought it yesterday

[6661dbz]

his is the most charming and incredible voice i've ever heard!

no other like him, EVER

[deadlyphantom44]

who was ray grange and what did he do? was he a roady?

[betyerdid]

Buy/loan the dvd Rude Boy, or buy/loan books on The (Mighty) Clash

[clashcityrocker2007]

the rude boy story about range gange isnt true. Ray did a little stint as a rodie but he was mostly just a friend of the band and close mate of joes. He was asked to play himself in film but was relunctant to do it at the start.

[kalibluetoo]

just a fan from what I read, but he got suckered into using his name for that lame character.

[MustafaHamsho]

F pointed eared Woody

[bigboredthing]

don't take the mick out of his ears...its not his fault theyre all point nd cute :)

[kalibluetoo]

his ears are hot... the better to hear with

[beanseller]

From the movie Rude Boy, 1978, starring Ray Gange & the Clash.....RIP DADDY

[beatlefan75]

[deweyfinn123]

[jefftube99]

Why oh why did the Rude Boy soundtrack, from which this comes,never get officially released? I'm OK - got my copy - but it should be in the public domain....No Reason and Let the Good Times Roll. We miss you Joe.

[PartyBoy64]

RudeBoy ahah

[prwtogonos]

AΠΛΑ ΘΕΟΣ! ! ! ! !

[fergal24kinney]

any chance of an mp3 of "No Reason"? or link to the mp3 or anything, cos its brilliant. RIP Joe

[singgaa]

the first song is called "No Reason" !

[Quickstoptim]

Great clip! Five stars -- only because they won't let you give 50.

[jimbo9998823]

I'm with ya man :)

[GXXXGrdBoyXXXB]

Does someone know the name of the first song ?

[leofransisco]

the second song is "Let the good times roll" by Shirley and lee. an absolute classic!

[thenewsidvicious]

wheres this taking from

[andyvastola]

this is a scene from "Rude Boy", of course an awesome flick from 1980. Look it up on imdb

[robbanzana]

Which songs is he playing? Or are they his own?

[Khultan]

I was shocked to see Joe rockin' on the piano with a particular tune harkening back to the early days and roots of rock n roll way before the Beatles. My intellectual curiousity about this video (which I purchased) TPRM enlightened me about what happened then in the late 1970s which I was totally obvlivious to *being a preteen* I knew only a little about the Clash....this video educated me more and I've been acquiring and learning from since then onwards....

[Khultan]

I purchased The Punk Rock Movie video in 1994 in San Francisco. That really opened my eyes. So many bands I never heard of and other band just barely familiar with such as a very young Billy Idol singing very unfamiliar songs or John Lydon, as a matter of fact, seeing that video was the first time for me to see the Sex Pistols and hear ANY songs and performance and in their context of the times....

[daxdaxdax]

U.S. Bombs did a cover of this song on The World album

[daxdaxdax]

they called it "Joe's Tune" which probably doesn't answer your question...

[dafringle]

any one know the name of the first song?

[bapyou]

English teeth! RIP Joe.

[DuckTeaAndAnarchy]

so i guess theres no lyrics i can snag?? ....damn...

[fergal24kinney]

whats the name of the first song he plays?

[RansomHoliday]

he wrote that for Rude Boy i believe. i remember hearing something about it on the Rude Boy dvd.

[jfh78rpm]

doesanybody kno wat this song is called offically and who it was orginally by???

[lkasflapytrs]

Shirley Goodman and Leonard Lee made the original and I think it's called Let the good times roll

[jfh78rpm]

cheers mate

[dondi1961]

this is my favorite scene in rude boy. thank you so much for sharing it. whenever i remeber joe strummer, i think of him singing that last song & smile. rip joe strummer.

[rudeass]

Look at how happy he looks when he plays the second tune

[diegodelap]

oh me god, thank you whoever uploaded this :)

[concretejungle203]

hey mustafa, have a little respect for the only band that matters. Sorry, just needed to remind you.

[DonQuixote85]

LucyStag, I could'nt agree more. Just that voice-- say, a nice, piano only version of Bankrobber would let me die a happy girl.

StaleFudgeCakes-- Close to perfect they were. :)

Here's to you, Joe! :)

[StaleFudgeCakes]

Genious. Joe Stummer was amazing.

MustafaHamsho stfu. He was severely talented and so many have seen that. So what if the Clash didn't top music charts everywhere? It doesn't mean a thing. The Clash... well they are so incredible it often sends shivers down my spine. They come quite close to being perfect music wise. At least in my opinion. R.I.P. Joe.

[LucyStag]

This makes me wish that he had recorded some really sparce stuff. Just that voice...all you need.

[Scottea1776]

RIP Joe.. thanks you changed all our lives

[kerjanin]

Joe the Killer!"C'mon babe rock me all night long!"

I love him so much.Joe my mate Let The Good Times Roll!! Thanks for posting.

[jfh78rpm]

MustafaHamsho can drop dead asshole long live JOE Strummer

[MustafaHamsho]

his career died 20 years before he did

[tonebot13]

now you must die

[LucyStag]

Sod off. You clearly the kind of person who thinks that if you're not topping the charts, you must be untalented. Have fun with your boring music, then.

[Hexum19]

Are you fucking kidding me?

Streetcore was among his best works ever, comparable to his best work with The Clash.

[olgaicannot]

we still miss you joe. R.I.P.

i love this video.

<3

[LetsSubmerge]

Oh man.

God I love him so much. AH.

12.22.02 Rest in Peace Joe

[HeathInClearLake]

Plays the piano like he strummed the guitar...like firing a machine gun. BAM!BAM!BAM!BAM!BAM!

[fugitive29]

so beautiful, one of my favorite parts of Rude Boy.

[hiwaysound]

joe dead at 50, just not right

[Khultan]

Before my time but those lyrics are true. He really did love music. I didn't know he could play the piano. I can't understand how someone like Joe Strummer can push up daisies and people like Mick Jagger AND Kieth KEEF RICHARDS with his drug addict ass be the ones still alive?

[clarence99]

what a stupid thing to say ya twit.

[Khultan]

And yours is any better, clarence99? You twerp.

[albrechtsponge]

By the way the answer to the previous person's question is yes this is from Rude Boy. Alas the scenes in which I appeared ended up on the cutting room floor.

[albrechtsponge]

I could never say anything bad about Joe Strummer. I knew him personally - a little. Loved the man.

[grantventura]

Wow this is cool. Is it from Rude Boy?

[lkasflapytrs]

his smile makes me happy

[Sirbestonen]

HA niiiiiicceee :)
