[Boogieloveshermates]

[zuzpiren]

his hair blonde and his voice is lovely

i love you so much Alex Band

[Pavel1915]

what is this? whoose the orginal author of london calling? clash or that?

[karlhungus21]

quelle horreur

[TheGreenPivot]

fail, cause they only covered this song because the song has calling in the name and so do they. Waits for the thumbs downs

[Lauramaryanngraham]

@TheGreenPivot Nothing to do with the fact that they're in London then? You prick. Funny how none of their other songs or covers have "calling" in the name. You're a dick, think before you speak.

[Adrrrrien]

excellente reprise

[tomydono]

this is maybe the worst cover i have ever witnessed. awfull..... well thats only my opinion but im sure and clasher would agree.

[12JimmySmith]

@tomydono Why? Because they are American?

[bobskindoodle]

Shit.

[fastskyr34]

Alex did an awesome job with this song - love his hair and his voice is lovely - The Calling rock!!!!!!!!!

[negramaro85]

This is ROCK!!!

[Aurelex]

Heureusement des gens sont là pour remarquer le véritable talent d'Alex.

Ok vous pouvez préférer la version originale mais on ne peut pas dire qu'il ruine la chanson ou encore que c'est totalement pathétique.

Honnêtement ça m'enerve les gens qui pensent comme ça.

Sur ceux moi j'adore cette interprétation, et Alex oujours aussi magnifique sur scène, thanks for this video.

I kinda feel like I want to say that I like this; I want to give it a chance as much as anyone else, but it would be impossible for me to say that I enjoyed this at all. They butchered the classic opening riff, the guitar tone sounded desperately amateurish, the vocals did not carry Strummer's grit. This had none of the original version's rawness (which I believe is what made the song so classic in the first place). I don't want to sound like an elitist ass prick, but c'mon... this is shit...

[MidnightCorner]

This is pretty cool. I wish it wasn't live though.. Microphones have a way of destroying a voice. Listen to one of his acustic performances on youtube and You'll see what I mean. they sound better.

[NormaJeaneVargas]

I don't think Alex sung it for disrespect..if anything he probably did it to show respect to the originals of the era, The Clash. You call it shit. You try it. Everyone thinks they're amazing until you're infront of millions of people all waiting for you.

[Shchetchynianin]

Pathetic...

[painthead94]

if mick jones saw this he would fucking sue these fucking faggot ass basterds

[painthead94]

wtf!?! what the hell? who the hell are thesse guys to remake and ruin one of the greatest songs ever written? im gana kill these guys. fuckin faggots

[Cameronesi1990]

Who the hell are these guys ?

And what do they think they are doing ruining one of the best songs ever written!? Fucking disgraceful...

[Slapshot770]

This is kind of wrong. It's okay but it completely takes away from the raw energy. It's not supposed to be sung nicely these supposed to be grit in the voice. Joe Strummer had the right idea.

[lanad]

Oooh :) I really love Alex's voice .... The Clash ♥

[selekta87]

Great cover, totally new interpretation, so please don't say smomething like 'shit' etc, because it's not true!! This man is really talenteds so respect!!

[pheonixgardian]

say what you want i think its a good cover because it sounds so differant to the original which is what a cover is ment to be awsome

[knockoutnedband]

what the fuck are backstreet boys doing?

no one sung it better then Joe, no one played it better then The Clash.

[dbfkjmatt]

wat a shitty american fucker

[alandechandt]

jhonny rotten?

do you mean joe strummer? lol..

anyway.. it's a great song.. :)

[ZPwnerer]

wow, that guy sucked, it just doesn't sound right without johnny rotten.

[JonnyA2006]
