Greatest band ever. Guy Stevens did something immeasurable to them. They hated Pearlman, but he and Topper made them great. Guy Stevens completed the destiny. Greatest band ever. Learn it. Live it. My wife's favorite band now, too. She gets it. Thank you God.
Got my Fender guitar because of Joe, though I bought it a year or so ago, and am going through the painful process of learning it on an extremely basic level. I don't know what I'll play but I just want to at least know all of the notes.
I felt kinda sad today, so I decided to listen to "I'm not Down", came across this video.. and it totally cheered me up!! Joe & Guy at the beginning ("Hold onto this" haha), Paul winking to the camera at 1:04, Mick cracking up around 1:55 and Topper playing the guitar (3:00) were the highlight of my day!
my wife cant undestand how a band changed my life...if it wasnt for this band i wouldnt be the leftist i am today. for better or wose they are the soundtrack of my life
its great seeing mick still making quality music..remember legends never die...joe will lve forever in his music.
isnt it great watching four great blokes having a laugh,not realising how great and important their music was to become R I P joe strummer and god bless paul topper and mick always in my heart...
I've gone thru 2 London Calling CD's because it keeps getting stolen. The essence of me is simple: I'm the person having a great time at a Clash concert. They rock you + pick you up from your slump and you feel triumphant. The Clash was VERY influential in my slumpy teen age years. To this day, their music gets my complete attention all the way to my soul.
The guy jumping around is Guy Stevens, the producer. He was a fantastic nut, they loved him. He died a lonely alcoholics death, hence the song "Midnight to Stevens."
to see a better version of this type in "clash in studio" It is the real video it shows them play 4 horsemen, the right profile and also guy steven going crazy. Instead of being covered by the songs it show the m playing. watch it. It is the coolest video ive seen. And they play other songs.
I'm Not Down is the classic here as far as i am concerned - shows the Clash (MJ in particular) had developed into being able to translate very persoanl subjects into great soulful songs, not just pompous concepts such as FourHorsemen! Not Strummers greatest...
Great!

These songs can always lift my spirits. The Clash can get my thoughts on more important things.
