excellent cover. the reason it works is because they don't fuck around with fanciful orchestrations or pretentious recording techniques, the simply go in and hit it hard.
I just listened through the Arcade Fire and a Jeff something's covers, and both pretty much failed to capture the cold anger of the original.
Eeek, fuck no. This is a reasonable facsimile. It's basically done the same way, and "sounds" like modern fidelity. It's not even remotely dripping with the instrumental air or the snarling conviction of the original. But hey, think what you want.
The statement "pretty good" for the original, is the telltale for how well you grasp it's appeal.
WTF? Better? The best is oryginal, The Clash. Polish version The Analogs "Strzelby z Brixton" is too good. I don't learn english, and I make many mistake, sorry :E

may as well listen to the original....the only difference is clarity of vocals but it takes the raw edge of the song away.

The original was pretty good, but I have to admit that this version is better.

There are million covers of this song, most of them are pretty good, but neither one can beat The Clash.

I think the unplugged version of this song for Die Toten Hosen is even better than the original

Of course, they can't best the original. But this is a damn good cover. These guys are skilled.

Die beste Version dieses Lieds das ich bei Youtube gefunden habe...
Von den Hosen sind sonst nur schlechte Live-Aufnahmen von dem Song zu finden...
DANKE!!!
