Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros - Safe European Home

[MyRocky1965]

what a fukin tune

[JoeSidney]

i was in the front and this was AMAZING

[Generation1Terrorist]

it hurts me so bad to think that i will never get to see him play

[vadermask]

@Generation1Terrorist I saw him (them) in '99 in Detroit.....this tour!!!  I was soooooooooooooooof'n stoked!!! He signed my set list!!!

[Generation1Terrorist]

@vadermask oh, you lucky bastard! i would have given any amount of money to meet him, he was just amazing..

[paddy7812]

The Future is Unwritten!!!!

[JanieJones85]

Oh man, love that guy so much. The most unique and amazing person ever...

[Clampdown100]

10 years off missing, and hi is still missed..... His the biggest,greates musican on earth!

[iwantcompletecontrol]

It's so weird watching these videos of Joe singing his Clash songs 20+ years after The Clash were together, and he's still got that same, amazing voice we all recognize instantly. Even though he changed on the outside (from age, obviously), that voice, it never changes. I close my eyes and listen and it's haunting almost. I can't explain it, but that's just how I feel about it.

[coolconfuzer]

he sounds perfect in this one.

[Buzble]

I can't listen to Joe Strummer live without feeling chills down my spine. This man was truly one of the greats, no one will evr be able to replace him, so much soul, so much intensity it instantly makes you believe his words and teachings. Thanks Joe for changing th way I see the world.

[redhookrockys]

this vid is stolen  from avms why did you do this

[ezegun]

If You dont like THE CLASH, you dont like Rock. 3 people dont like rock

[DevoDevoT]

After the Clash broke up, I kind of lost touch with Mick and Joe. I listened to some B.A.D. because we all loved to dance, and that was the best Punk-Funk ever. I should have stuck with Joe, though. I am watching and listening to everthing I can find that he did. I'm trying to make up for lost time.

[TheTwotonic]

@DevoDevoT

i second that.

[EastCoastGuitarist]

This is so sick! Is there a DVD of this anywhere?

[retrofire100]

live

[retrofire100]

Great. ..Saw The Clash kive in 1980 and 1981 but missed Joe later... One big mistake...

[MyRedPages]

One more thing--- why would joe appear on B.A.D. tracks if not friends with mick?? Where do you get your info from??

[MyRedPages]

Sittin here with my Safe European Joe...I wanna go back there again. The voice of reason still. I promise not to fuck with the words again.

[ezegun]

If Joe Strummer would be alive, would be lecturing certainly rock. Fuck Yeah!!!

[She95gd]

I Am a Big Fan of Green Day ,but why the hell we need to listen about them on this video!?!Sorry for my bad english

[webbedful]

Fuck....I miss Joe.

[callwithcurrentconti]

WEEAAAAAAHDYUGOH

[duramatters]

hearing the intensity of this I remember the intensity of seeing The Clash do ti live in 1978. I love Joe!

[HetzerOne]

It just fucking doesn't get any better than this.

We miss ya, Joe. 

[DevoDevoT]

Joe continued to play the Clash stuff, and put his complete heart and soul into the songs every time he played 'em.

[NRVERTAKEMEALIVE]

genius joe RIP

[mich0915]

musical genius.

[nealtracy]

They say "He" always takes the best first!.....I think that may well be true!....God bless him!

[gabsings]

Thanks Mr Cusack ;)

[LinkinParkkkkk]

john cusack sent me here.. :)

[ShackIeMeNot]

how the hell are there 3 dislikes?

[TheCelticsrock34]

i want to cry everytime i hear him sing but imagine how mick paul and topper must feel every december 22

[MunchyMcNipples]

No handlers, no auto tune, no lip synching, enough said.

[ipwnrubberduckiesftw]

@MunchyMcNipples real music aint it?

[theunleashedpaladin]

joe strummer FUCKING AWESOME!!!

[TheSandsie13]

@hebert777 me too. i flat fell into a chair when i got the call that joe was dead. had to ask "how, why, when, where" all at once. i miss joe every day. he will live on in all of us who love good old rock' n roll.

[wingite]

joe...ha FUCK! He had more energy than anyone else! pure love and heart! God just wants him to play clash songs in heaven...see you joe!!!

[somamusika]

super song! Joe te amo carnal.

[wafer12]

Jonas you are right - the only band that ever mattered - Joe was and will always be my hero - a great catalogue of music and a legacy that never did and will never live again in my mind and my life - a true genius and a modern icon - this genre can never be reproduced and shouldn't. RIP Punk Rock Warlord - always with you

[petarst]

who cares about Micheal gay? This is the music, only one that can influence on peoples mind to give our best what we can in our life.. every day we can write love songs, but politicals and social songs noone do that..

[JonasMigas]

the great joe from the only band that mattered!

[thecastleanthrax1]

And sometimes, all I can do is sit and take it all in, washed over with awe, and be thankful that there was a Joe Strummer.

[jobbieface]

joe strummer ........fucking legend !

[jayhi1810]

Agree with jobbieface.....two joes sorely missed.

What it be like with their music in todays world....???!!!

Tears....

[ODC771]

Greatest Clash song ever! Martians, anaesthetics and gun play!

[smythy68]

joe is ,was ,and always will be the biggest musical genius we have seen since john lennon,rip 2 u both LEGENDS

[GhostRider247]

Man was a genius .... nuff said.

[wolfthedave]

Exceptional. Miss you Joe.

[juanchocadillacs]

The lost of musicians as Joe Strummer, Joey Rammone,... it really makes me sad because the music is going from bad to worse nowadays.

[jobbieface]

this song fukin rocks.... i was lucky to see clash live sing this , rip joe

[uflaw02]

Not to take anything away from Joe's outfit--indeed they sound awesome-- but It always amazes me everytime I hear Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros play Clash songs how it takes two Mescalero guitarists to equal the same sound Mick Jones was able to generate just by himself.

[000CLASH000]

@uflaw02 Yeah and 2 drummers? Haha best Clash song ever

[Easygame2]

is there a dvd of this show at Roseland Ballroom ?

[youthgoes]

I miss Joe. One of my favorite Clash songs...and wish i could've seen him wtih the Mescaleros before he died. RIP Joe.

[edwardfirth49]

Have to agree with the comments about Joe Strummer, immensely talented.

[SeasofCheeze]

aw man! i need jones for this! wheeeeeeeeeeere you'd go?!?! sounds weird without him...

[arsenalqwert]

PUNK ROCK WARLORD!

[Samuelity1]

backing vocals are pretty pathetic actually Wish Jonesy was there, Joe is amazing of course.

[inflames2121]

This song's just not quite the same without Mick's background vocal

[uflaw02]

Amen brother!

[infocado]

A talent still missed

[markwither1]

The greatest man to ever live Rip Joe thanxs for everything

[dar2365]

great Joe

[excitedbike]

rip Joe Strummer

[freeCELL9]

the only band that fucking matters

[john3427]

Isn't it the Clash?? Why Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros??

Anyway: fantastic!

[alarmfan]

@john3427 Probably because it's not the Clash....it's Joe and The Mescaleros

[john3427]

Oh, OK. But that's a clash song. So Joe Strummer & The Mescaleros only play Clash songs?

[spartawasp]

@john3427 the is the band that joe strummer was in before he died. they played clash songs aswell as songs off of the 3 cds they put out. if you like the clash you need to pick them up. they are great.

[PoisonMint]

joe strummer is the singer of Clash, now performing with another band..... jeeez

[SeamusNaLaoch]

@PoisonMint

lol ... feeling your pain ...

[xMyCurse]

Ex-singer of Clash

and he passed away now

RIP

[xMyCurse]

'Cause the band broke up in 1985

But Joe Strummer played further in more diverse bands

RIP Joe

[kennflek]

so there is a little soul left in people almost every comment posted is positve and filled with compassion..........

[whiteriot93]

Only two word , f****ing great!!!

[hiyapal92]

The Future in Unwritten - Know your rights

[macanan100]

the clash todavia son una de las mejores bandas y pensar que se conocieron en la cola para cobrar el el paro!!!!!! la avaricia de las discograficas han condenado al punrock a ser un producto de venta igual que las bombillas o las magdalenas,el caso es vender!!! TIENE MUCHO MERITO, UN RESPETO PARA ELLOS!!!!!!!!!!!!

[reefinit]

i can think of only one who lives and sings hes songs with such belief like strummer neil young

[trumbellst]

also try paul weller

[cantonadenmark]

Just fantastic....one of the best Clash songs ever...Joe was a genius...RIP Joe...you will forever be the rock and roll blood running through my veins

[shannonbhoy]

Thanks, I needed to hear this today. Joe is the man, now and forever.

[ruamoku]

Legendary.. saw them at The Rainbow in London 1977, f*****g A.

[weimer495]

i discovered the clash about two years ago. there my favorite band. an although ive never met him. i miss joe

[coolcatjerk]

new recruit, spread the message man

[tiffer68]

The best

[BabylonShitstem]

Whered ya go?

They got the weed they got the taxis!

RIP 7 years your gone cant fukin believe your gone

[29cherokee29]

@BabylonShitstem I went to the place where every white face is an invitation to robbery.

[daRIG1970]

RUDIE CANT'T FAIL!!!

Love It! Excellent!

Joe Strummer R.I.P.

[weimer495]

i wish i could have been at this concert. when it was going on i prob never even heard of the clash or joe

[hebert777]

When I saw people crying about Michael Jackson's death...I remember how much I cried for Joe Strummer...and I still cry...Joe changed my life...and was the best thing in art I've ever seen.

[kierangrunge]

so true, and same with me. without being disrespectful, michael jackson was pretty over-rated, and most people of certainly my age (born early 90s) havent heard of joe strummer, yet he was possibly the biggest genius punk rock ever had.

[JoeYY182]

i second that dude (: joe strummer changed the way i view life

[rockerstarblack]

@kierangrunge i forgive the MJ Statement cuz you were born in the nineties. That man was a musical genius.

[SickBoy99a]

@kierangrunge In punk there were lots of people, lots of bands that railed against the system. It was always a battle of ideas and ideology. Joe Strummer had that, but he had a humanity that most of the others didn't. Joe always knew, and cared, that the injustices he was writing about affected real people. It was never theoretical to him.

[kierangrunge]

@SickBoy99a That, I suppose is what made him stand out. With the sort of feeling behind his songs, he could make songs far better than anyone who wrote about nothing important

[mickeba1]

@kierangrunge Forget the music. Joe was a greater man than a musician.

[TheEddster]

@kierangrunge same, i'm 93, and no-one has heard of Joe Strummer...W.T.F

[TheEddster]

@kierangrunge same, i'm a '93 kid and no-one my age has heard of Joe Strummer...WTF.

[BenHughesLlan]

@TheEddster Oh some of us have mate :D

[kierangrunge]

@TheEddster Spreading the word is sadly all that keeps this man's legacy alive, his music alive, and the music of his fellow punk rockers alive. Once you hear The Clash, The Mescaleros, or anything Joe Strummer, you realise how much of a god-like musician he was. I've managed to make at least 5 Clash fans, just by showing them the music, because in this modern world of shite music and corporate sell-outs, Joe Strummer and those like him are just being lost to history

[ynotyrrebrac]

@kierangrunge Many people too young to have been around have/will hear of Joe Strummer, The Clash, SLF and all of the original punk bands, I like "new" bands like Green Day, but it pisses me right off when they deny their heritage, we all come from somewhere!

[kierangrunge]

@ynotyrrebrac I used to like Green Day (I still have all their records), but being at their show in 2009 just threw me straight off them. They have sold out, which in itself is totally against everything punk was. Johnny Lydon even said how Green Day piss him off, saying they don't deserve the status of punk. And that's tragically where punk has gone. About the best punk band I've heard from the past 20 years has to be Manic Street Preachers (well... their earlier stuff was punk)

[afzoomie67]

@kierangrunge I was born in 1997 and I love the Clash and Joe...and Mick....and Paul......and how can we forget Topper, the "Human Drum Machine"?

[paddy7812]

@hebert777 X2, I was lucky enough to see both "The Clash" and the "The Mescalaero's" Not a day goes by that I'm not humming or whistling those tune's!!!

[Ratt1971]

rip mellor

[fag0tron]

i wish joe strummer was alive today. whenever i hear the clash or the mescaleros, i wonder what he'd have to say about what's been going on in the world now...

[reefinit]

joe strummer.. there will never be another

rougher than tuff dreader than dread

r.i.p.

[pachypanario]

no puedo dejar de escucharlo

[theoneandonlyjoeg]

my fav clash song

[keepitwitmine]

yeah its a good 1

[jobbieface]

a fucking 1 ...top class

[jkthemod]

I wonder where THAT guitar is now?... the long-serving friend, its stickers/decals worn and tattered- but plenty operational. You can see that he "means" it... this is no pose, he implores you (the listener) to take action... to seek, to question, to instigate change. Ever notice his left leg?....pumping/pistoning through each song; he gestures to his head/heart or to us... because we need to be/HAVE to be receiving the message. We all owe Joe Strummer something! "where'd you go?"

[hiccup2398]

i've been told by a long-time punk rocker that when he passed away it was sold for just a few grand, if i'd had know i would've beg borrowed or stole the money for it.

joe really was something special, and his music is his legacy, still as relevant today as it was when he wrote it, R.I.P punk rock warlord (Y)

[jobbieface]

whiteman in hammersmith palais...................anthe­m

[rosiedublin1234]

true, but when i watch the mascelaros i see a band that are having fun and a man who is at his peak and at ease with himself. i love the clash but as to which i love more.......london calling, possibly the greatest album of all time

[Blanqueador]

possibly?

[Volume5]

The Mescaleros were never The Clash and never claimed to be, but they were the next best thing. - they were definitely a "real" band and they definitely rocked.

RIP Joe

[dadswizz]

the big diffrence was the clash was 4 kids growing up together, like finding their feet in life. the mescaleros was bunch of guys going to work to make a living.. don't get me wrong, love em both, seen the clash 5 times and the mascelros at glastonbury in 99. but 30 years seperates them. teenagers V middleage men !! know what i mean. just enjoy, cos no one has ever done anything better than JOE. only the good die young !

[petarst]

I will be happy to see mescaleros after all but i didnt

[reefinit]

this is the greatest frontman there ever fucking was.

[spodbw]

joe rocked rip

[piggerbenis]

Not a "real band"? WTF does that even mean? Fucking idiot.

[annystrummer]

joeeee was the besttttt man ever!

[jrmarrero96]

the fact is that they were still hired guns. Tymon Dogg is a fantastic musician, I met him and Joe Strummer in NY so I am not making a derogatory remark about any of the Mescaleros but the fact that Joe put his name right in front of the band says it all for me. After all, It is not called "Joe Strummer and the Clash" is it mate?

[jobbieface]

joe strummer.......enuff sed!

[jrmarrero96]

the Mescaleroes were not a real band like the Clash, they were just a bunch of hired guns. There is no real comparison.

[cl0udtop]

they were getting there though...

still a great version.

miss ya joe

[moddave78]

id sooner be a hired gun in a band with joe strummer than with, ooh lets say, phil fucking collins!! the masceleros were all musicians that strummer had met over the years actually!! like tymon dogg, who showed strummer his first chords on guitar when they lived in a squat together and used to go busking!! well before the clash had even formed!! need i say more?

[clashcityrocker2007]

Fact is joe wanted people who could groove. They groove well enough for me. so they work!

[moddave78]

a very good point well made! it's not like they just banged out old clash hits for some easy cash either. they brought out some great new music. R.I.P Joe Strummer, the world was a better place when he was in it!

[uly138]

is it heretical to love this video? i think i love the mescaleros as much as the clash. Do i need to go to confessional?

[JellySensei]

Mea Culpa

Mea Culpa

Mea Maxima Culpa

Me too Uly, let's go to Hell together then.

[AWall1975]

Its too bad the drummer doesn't do those awesome Topper drum fills towards the end.

[luvlife23]

Know that where ever you are in musical heaven, we will always remember you Joe

[robbiewhitenz]

what can you say seminal timeless brilliant

puts all the current crop of pussy bands aside from

kings of leon to shame!! Rock in peace Joe

[Stozhek1990]

Acoustic Solo, totally agree with you, still a great version. Joe is a hero.

[mccarthy11]

just named my new puppy strummer. amazing video!

[BOULALITA]

mick is missing like the where you go part is nothing without mick

[palexminear]

i disagree, i think this is a classic song with or without Mick, granted with Mick it is even better but this is almost as good as it can get

r.i.p. joe, you will always be remembered

[Keumii56]

I'm totally agree :D

[freeCELL9]

yea its still good but how the hell can you mess up the words???? its Where Did You Go!..by that guy saying heyyyy ohhh makes me just like a little sad inside

[BOULALITA]

how could you die dear joe you were never be replaced

[bangtidy89]

good version!

[AcousticSolo]

the fact that the backing vocalist seems to not know the words ruins it for me , " Hey ho? " instead of "Where'd ya go? " ?

:( shame cause joe does fucking fantastic!

[rawrfknrawr]

The backup vocalist is a right knob.

But listening to this, apart from that, you'd almost think it was The Clash.

[stugats1]

joe was simply brilliant

[GinkyGinky]

my god... it's fucking great when they attack again with the song, i got thrills!

[Ma965]

fucking awesome. We miss you Joe.....

[jobbieface]

sheer fucking class..................

[oaklandpunk]

Cheers to you Joe Strummer, the best ever! You continue to inspire us. Thank you.

[glasgowscottish]

this version is better than the clash's.

[RedDesire1]

That is possibly the most ridiculous statement Ive read on You Tube (and Ive read some seriously fucking stupid stuff).

[tomnackom3]

RIP joe

[BOULALITA]

the young one who replaces mick jones dont know what his singing, anyway wheres mick?

[mccarthy11]

wheres mick? it isnt the clash, this is the mescalero's. complete different band.

[SSSSBBBB81]

it's sad that I never saw The Clash or Joe Strummer live. :(

[ieyasu]

I know how you feel. I miss joe strummer and i've never even met the guy.

[andreolichuruguay]

I´m from Uruguay, the other side of the world. Yesterday i read in a wall of Montevideo "Strummer es dios" /(("Strummer is god".... Y reaelly think that´s true...... Glory Joe

[jobbieface]

class....joe still booting it oot.........

[jesusnails]

ffs i miss the clash, i miss joe...

[jobbieface]

that is how you rock a venue!

[betyerdid]

Rocks.

[elrond511]

Joe Strummers true legacy has still to become apparent , but it wont be long trust me !

[UNT315J]

God bless you Joe.....

[RudieCantFail1977]

Brilliant.

[ranchosx]

joe strummer is god

[justlikeheathen]

seconded.

[kirkpimp]

They sure don't make musicians like him anymore.

[cyrus138]

i don't like the drumming on this one. The bald fuck just sounds like he's bein lazy and not makin the effort with the chops. No energy, just typical.

[FatManRedemption]

hmmm. How come the crowd doesn't know how to say "Where'd you go?"

[123be4]

hahahahaha...well noticed...they r just murmuring wheyyyyoooohhhh...still well performed though...just another sick clash song...

[HugoF]

love this song so much...
