punk was a moral decision in england, much more than music, it was a statement of complete disenfranchisement and the system is completely screwed, sound familiar? joe's been gone 10 years now - i would like to have his voice on the air waves now.
I was 11 when i first heard the Pistols and fell totally in love with the punk movement.Now im 45 and play it daily also my 10 year old is following in the genre and loves it.LONG LIVE PUNK
happy times in gateshead n sunderland as a young pretend punk rocker my mohecan lasted a week dad killed me great stuff great times growing up ... used to compair cockneys standing in roker end to me as a youngan they were spooky folk dressed ahead of us with punk ..... we followed them early days but london was the music capital them days ...
I dont even like reggae music but this is by far my favourite song ever.
The clash were able to take any genre and make it amazing...i guess thats why they were so loved. They were different, unlike anything there's ever been, and as it seems, unlike anything there ever will be.
Long live The Clash aka the only band that matters
That was on february 18 in 1980. At the Lewisham Odeon. Part of the 16 Tons Tour. some of the recordings from this gig can be found on From Here To Eternity. Goddamn best live album I ever heard!
@gburlamaquiful there arnt any punk bands nowadays, punk unfortunetly died in the 80's, we need new talent to fix that problem, im in a band and am writing punk songs, we need to create a new era of punk
Awesome production on this one, without going to wiki can't remember if it was produced by Dread, Perry or Foote great job anyway - you can do any style if you got a genius drummer!
@ytpoliticsnigga That was Mickey Dread! (I know cos I thought it was Perry for years...) And amen to that drummer-remark. It IS TRUE that your band is just as good as your drummer.... And Topper was one of the best around!
@Ak1z As an Irishman I couldn't agree more. Everything has suffered except x-factor bollox. At what point will we hear proper creativity again, i.e ska, Billy Bragg, Weller, proper songwriting born out of frustration, poverty, corruption etc? British and Irish music peaked from '77 to '84. All corporate post Live-Aid wank after that. Geldof's irony!!??
@regipunk1 hmm i cant quite remember what exact emotion led me to the "cunt bastard" cry but i will paraphrase. My already slow internet streaming is made slower because of VEVO with is unneeded gloss on the page. Im trying to evoke some punk ethos to my day and night but then im given a Heres the clash by VEVO. And perhaps im a bit irritated by its corporate like presence on everything "pop culture" and "counter culture"
@subzi ermm i dont no wot ur on about wots vevo mean? are you avin a go at me?sorry but i really dont know wot ur on about.i dont remember leaving a comment on this song.this vevo thing means nothing to me as i dont know wot it is.i know wot l.o.l means ......i think! im 47 you see all i know is punk its my way of life,cheers
bankrobbers are stealing the bank's money, the cash that bankers have for their own investments and profits. people who gave their money to the bank should not have a problem. sorry for my english
thumbs up if you watch this videos of great bands like Zeppelin, Stones, sex pistols, Clash, and all the grat bands of the 60s and 70s instead of the crap of these days
“We made a video to go with Bankrobber, and filmed part of it in Lewisham when we were playing there [February 1980] with Johnny and Baker. They were standing outside a bank in Lewisham High Street wearing hats, long coats and masks like gangsters from an American movie and the police pulled them because they thought they looked dodgy. As if robbers would be that stupid!” — Mick Jones [from the official Clash book]
one christmas just after the great man died my wife and eldest son bought me a tree in the joe strummer forest in skye, scotland. I'm hoping to get over there and see it one day man.
Dread at the controls...
