Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - White Riot

[RockNRollSwindle01]

Youtube - "Your reaction?"

I wanna start a fucking a punk band again !

[Tomataduplenty1]

@RockNRollSwindle01 this is not punk

[jimjimtrains]

@Tomataduplenty1 what are you watching????? of course its punk its the punk rock warlord in action|!

[TheYounque]

wherever you are ...please ...joe ...keep on playing.

[harrycross]

I saw them at the TLA in Phily on this tour & when he played this I had tears in my eyes & I'm not ashamed to admit it. I also got misty eyed years later when I saw Mick Jones (in Carbon/Siliscon) do Police on My Back.

[Lieu3C4]

No place for whores in the middle of wars but best to keep an overwatch when running street law hardcores.

[DevoDevoT]

Joe never left anything on the table. He doubled down on every song he sung.

[jimjimtrains]

when I watch this its like... i dunno... but i don't even notice that he's older than from watching the clash he still has the same energy

[nimatek667]

Riot In Peace Joe!!!

[turpinz]

who cares if I'm showing my age, I still remember the clash doing this at Leeds Poly (Leeds Met to some of you) in Nov 76 when they played with the pistols, heartbreakers and the damned on the Anarchy in the UK tour.

[tkcomune]

Dude, where did you get this?

[TheSandsie13]

it's a good attempt joe. i miss you no end joseph wish you were still here. R.I.P. my favorate matey bloke.

[PliskinLee]

Why oh why did it have to be you Joe that was taken so prematurely?

[musicmanLPB]

I keep staying this a thousand times but Joe Strummer is GOD!!!!

[credencedawg]

broken strings and full tilt, on the hoof, as ever. He always seemed to get that the essence of great music was immensely pleasurable *noise*. That and the passion of anybodies real deal.

[argopunk]

Nice.

[fiacchi]

Guardate ke cosa faceva ancora a 50anniii..!!!Un mitoooo:)

[queenoclare]

JOE THE WORLD NEEDS YOU!

[griso79]

GREAT performance!

We miss you Joe.

[bioshockt]

@angeltobaros I hope you burn in a fire.

[weimer495]

man joes so awesome he broke a siring and kept on playing.

[wolfthedave]

Oh Joe, you were just the best!

[badtown88]

I totally would have came in my pants if I witnessed this in person.

[aa274631]

The only way Joe could get any better is if he were a zombie. Therefore I propose scientists of the world should unite to reanimate him and bring him back for us!

[SirFunkward]

joe strummer 4 ever

[Sonicfanallways]

nice

[sas147741]

A RIOT OF MY OWN!

[kidricofdoom]

that song sends me apeshit lol love it.

[petarst]

is this real ? OH MY GOD FUCK THIS I WAS NOT THERE .....

BELGRADE CALLING FOR JOE ...

[SchlechtesElternhaus]

Joe Strummer kicks god's fucking ass...

[marticeltractor]

That's impossible!

Joe Strummer can't kick his own ass.

[hangin10]

Have you ever tried to kick your own ass? I'm pretty sure everybody's feet can reach their own ass. :)

[petarst]

from where he gets that strength ?

[HeathInClearLake]

Don't overanalyze, bro. The fans in the crowd wanna hear white riot, and Joe was happy to do it for them. It's not about redoing the bible, it's about sending people home, happy knowing that the saw the man himself perform "White Riot".

[Blanqueador]

WHITE RIOT!!!!1

[bufalogil]

amazing audio.

[wassworth]

That would've been fucking spiritual.

[jac59876]

joe had tht tele his whole career and probably played it til the day he died.....right on RIP

[jrmarrero96]

the band were not hired to have a stage presence or upstage Joe, they were just required to provide adequate backing for the songs.

[harryspoonpotter]

pity his backing band have no stage presence. luckily he's godlike enough to carry the song himself

[BOULALITA]

this is awsome,

[HeathInClearLake]

Did Joe break a string?

[SchlechtesElternhaus]

It's unbelievable...I cried, obviously i didn't know him and i haven't seen Joe Strmmer live...

This man was a genius...

Good job Joe

[britnum1]

with all the respect that the clash deservs but this sounds pretty good

[bummer2112]

I see Joe broke a string :P

RIP

[aHARRYz]

*Strummer

[aHARRYz]

R.I.P joe Stummer, a legend, why did he have to die?

[revoltoso68]

the joe it's wonderfoul .......

if are possile return in the our world we need,a men like you....good bye joe...nik

[longdistancecaller]

It seems like the anger is gone--still all of the passion. In heaven all the angels must be moshing. MIss you joe.

[brookgo]

Man, I'm a sissy. I almost started crying watching this video. I'm so sad that I never got to see him live.

[o0Knucklehead0o]

@brookgo thats not being a sissy man, a man who never cries is not a real man... you could ALL learn a lesson from our fella here.

[5150zombie]

@brookgo It's cool man, I do it too.

[bnbfalcon]

@brookgo The same here. Your not a sissy for crying about a someone who actually cared about people. He will be missed.

[FakeSmileFilms]

MUCH LOVE AND RESPECT!

[kmanderville]

I WANNA RIOT, WHITE RIOT, RIOT OF MY OWN...

that rock

[guitargczr699]

ok..does it really matter if the Ramones had "punk" lyrics? it was the music tht made the Ramones punk. in some of the Ramones songs they mention the SLA, Vietnam, and different things if u really listen hard. it was the Clash and the Sex Pistols tht really brought the political side of punk music.

[littlevish]

yeah, some of the Ramones lyrics are punk.

"Better call, call the law

When you gonna turn yourself in? Yeah

You're a politician

Don't become one of Hitler's children

Bonzo goes to bitburg then goes out for a cup of tea

As I watched it on TV somehow it really bothered me

Drank in all the bars in town for an extended foreign policy

Pick up the pieces"

[lint182]

i love this song!!! joe not dead!!!

[hafpak]

im sorry but he died in 2002. It's not like he's the guy from the Doors, Jim Morrison. where only one doctor sayed he was dead (you need 2 for it to be leagal.)

Strummer FTW though.

[lint182]

i love this song!!! joe not dead!!!

[lint182]

i love this song!!! joe not dead!!!

[chestertouristcom]

classic clash/strummer

[julius1441]

the clash and the ramones are the best

[SpringsteenFinland]

the ramones sucks! they're lyrics dont tell nothing what matters. "i wanna be sedatet" BOOOOORING!!!

[julius1441]

but the spirit of ramones is punk and Joe Strummer likes ramones (in life)

[guitrfrnd]

the lyrics aren't political but they ARE the spirit of punk... because iggy made no punk.

so they were the first

[maxsheeppower]

if joe strummer was still alive he could probablly kick your ass orobourus

FUCK YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[maxsheeppower]

fuck you no buddy over 30 should play on a stage, suck my fuckin balls buddy

[pakercharly]

I agree with The Cure.

Joe is amazing. I'll never forget all the great times his music brought me.

Rest In Peace

[OroborusFMA]

No one over 30 should be on stage.

[r4m0n0]

bullshit

[punkacero]

he's got a cut string and he keeps playing ! punk on !

[JoesRamone]

and i thought first it was the strap of his guitar... didn't even thought it could be a string :D

[punkacero]

ya I took a look again and I think you were right! too thick to be a string LOL!

punk on anyway ! xD

[JoesRamone]

it might be the string, cos the quality in this vid is not too sharp, so it might make the string or whatever it is thicker or whatever... "one of unsolved mysteries of men" xD

[JoesRamone]

yup, its e or a string

[WolfGangDanThaddeus]

of course i wanna riot+

[birdiejoehoaks]

Aristotlekh is a bitch.

great video though

[speedballink00]

I'll have to correct you...rudy was the former mayor of NYC.

[bossman103]

He's been dead 5 years and he is still been touted as the most important musician of the punk period shows you Joe was and is a legend shame there is no one about like this now

[LUXXINTERIOR666]

damn thats cool

[dizzyhayride]

He said, "Rudi Gulliani, gotta gotta getta get away. Rudi Gulliani, gotta golla rolla ebba ay..."

[znkrharris]

what did he say about rudi guiliani?

[Geckle124]

This video looks like it was on that show Reverb that used to be on HBO

[Geckle124]

This was definitely from that show Reverb on HBO

[ReadyTeddy93]

Joes amazing , I can imagine him doing that at 70 and still sounding great. Its depressing he won't be able to. I would have killed to see a live performance by him , saved up all my money and flown out to see him wherever he was playing.

[AcousticSolo]

I feel the same

Even if i had to pay £5,000 for a ticket to see him play, i would have.

[hebert777]

I would have too.

[shroox]

Brilliant! Thanks Aristotlekh

[thecallup]

Fantastic... Is this available from a DVD or was this a TV clip?

[Nimlas1]

I think Joe broke a string about half way through.

[benor1337]

rip joe

[powerofthepistols]

sings *Black men gotta lot of problems, they don't mind throwing bricks!* I love white riot! Your so great Joe!

[turtleduce]

the clash would of reformed they were gonna do a world tour after the finished compiling the essential clash, but joe died during.

[alleatkin]

Throw a brick today in memory of Joe !

[Baconmaninspace]

That's got to be the greatest comment I've ever read.

[Smrdjoni]

AWESOME

BELGRADE CALLING

[Ganni86]

Great perfomance. Goodbye, Joe. :)

[AbolishXGovnt]

i wish joe didnt have to die...and then maybe The Clash would've reformed...that would of been so kick ass

[EdwoodCA]

Didn't lose a thing with age is RIGHT! Joe and the boys are tearing it up!

[thisIDisunavailable]

Joe didn't lose a thing with age. That was excellent. I'd kill to see anything Joe did live ever. RIP.

[paulflah]

nice one.nothing wrong with that at all
