Janie Jones - The Clash - Manchester 77

[taquitozz]

ahh this is my favorite song by them

[Cain0296]

Punks not dead !!!

[MrFatsimon]

Mick Hucknall was at this gig...you can spot him in the footage of Garageland from this same Channel 4 Punk documentary...fronted by the late great Tony Wilson

[kevsaunders33]

I agree. There's never been anyone better and there probably never will. The greatest rock n roll band ever

[TheJohndoe63]

@kevsaunders33 never a true word.....THE GREATEST ROK N ROLL BAND EVER.

[ColdOasisU2]

what an underrated frontman is joe

[ZLUGGO]

This is a blitzkrieg attack. This is pure punk rock. Raw power!

[SpacedTime]

FUCK IT

[jediris73]

The Clash was the best, what an awesome live version. If i could get this show on DVD I'd buy it in a second.

[doobiescoo1]

I think that was Gary Busey rocking out in the audience. The best band!

[cheriansrule]

Joe, you were never a crud or a king, you were (from what i know) always just a good guy who cared about people. That's what matters. R.I.P

[Rigsbymortis]

the boss at MY firm always thinks i shirk too.

hes right - i do as little as i can get away with.

im in love with getting stoned whoa!

[lptomtom]

Ah, the time when Paul still sucked at bass...wouldn't last long after that though!

[pitchforkcustom]

he wouldnt, joe would smile. he had a sense of humour big time. hed probably say not bad but mine was better. chill out, bongo jazz a speciality

[wardy0712]

magic!!! still the coolest men in the room!!

[jamesupjimmy]

he's in love with getting stoned woah!

[INCAZZATOMALIBERO]

I was 20teen....

[greenday96fin]

The first Clah song I ever heard. ♥ i luv this!

[napoleonbonerpart]

I bumped into Mick jones a few years ago and kind of recognised him but couldn't place the face. I was running some practice rooms and he was there to see a band he was managing. So he says I'm looking for the Libertines and I was like, oh yeah they are in there, just packing up. At the time I thought it was one of their Dads come to see the band. A week later another guy there was saying he'd been talking to Mick Jones and I was gutted cos I realised who he was.

Clash were soooo good

[jamesupjimmy]

@napoleonbonerpart mick jones and the libertines - fucking lucky wanker!!

[AlGregg1]

no p or o in his alphabetical file

[DJVMFVME]

The Clash gave to their audience always! wow. thanks

peace! Misia "Mitch Micthell" VESSIO

[luiggi1994]

R.I.P Strummer

[dakarlion1]

I once attended a solo-performance of Fred Kienhuis, singer-guitarist of Dutch band The Jack of Hearts. When he ended his concert and came back for some extras he asked if there were any requests. I knew he was a Clash fan so I shouted "Janie Jones", even though I wasn't sure he could play that. He smiled & said "Janie Jones, that's a long time ago" & then he started: "She's in love with the rock & roll world". I love that man and of course I love The Clash, one of the best rockbands ever!

[nstrummer]

@dakarlion1

shame on you, you call yourself a clash fan and you have no idea of janie jones lyrics: "she's in love with rock & roll world", no wonder you went to a fred kienhuis show.

if joe were alive he would be kicking the living shit out of you

[TheAWHB]

This is why punk died!

[WildBert101]

@TheAWHB:

Fuck U FoOl! PUNK'S NOT GONNA DIE! what u see is not our end....we never sell our way!

[goonchistaw]

HE'S IN LOVE WITH ROCK 'N' ROLL WHOA !!

HE'S IN LOVE WITH GETTING STONED WHOA !!

HE'S IN LOVE WITH JANIE JONES WHOA !!

BUT HE DON'T LIKE HIS BORIN' JOB NO !!

[perthgloryboy]

Don't even begin to mention the Libertines in the same breath as the Clash!!!!!

[wreaksrevenge]

@perthgloryboy Well said, in fact I'll repeat it again, don't even CONSIDER to mention the Libertines in the same breath as the Clash!!!!!

[ty2403]

This is exactly how I would imagine Libertines and Clash fusion to sound like!

[Slaythefake]

Wow punk meant something once.. Who would have thunk it, wheres my MTV?

[asa44sure]

simply the best

[TheDarkmore]

When i was 16y i sad: i want to do the same thing, but with more overdrive XD

Respect forever!

[mickdimas]

I am still in love with a rock-n-roll world, among other things!

[louinthewhoverse]

The best ever!

[TheCJSMJ]

I love Mick in 1:24

[owy75]

The Best & most inspirational band in the World - FACT !

[Fluffy8778]

Awesome twist when Mick Jones sings the last part.I think that is what sets the clash apart from other punk bands.The other punks bands would have keep on with the chorus.

[TheLastFraudster]

The greatest band there's ever period!!!

[OxcartUser]

The Clash were great in the studio, no question, but they flat out kicked ass on stage. They never held back anything and poured their guts out every show (especially Joe).

One of the greatest live bands EVER.

[stoprejectingmynames]

Oh my god, this looks like it's been sped up. Especially Joe.

Great song by a great band.

[AnarchyDom]

So good, it's shame that I'm too young to have seen them live. I've only ever came across one live band that have put a decent effort towards recreating this punk energy, if only there were more like them.

[MegaMenzie]

he's got a Ford Cortina and it just won't run without fuel. Fill 'er up Jacko

fucking great

[piojudo1]

the clash is and will be the best band ever

[HarryBowie]

[jambo130864]

[basszant]

It doesn't get more intense than this.

Pure energy, that's what The Clash were.

And they still are to me.

[JoeStunner]

It's a fucking miracle this lot didn't just explode into one gigantic fireball when they played.  Fucking immense! You're much missed, Joe.

[whokilledcamilo]

[BenHughesLlan]

He's in love with getting stoned woooahh!!!

[Staggerbaroque]

Wow, thanks for posting this. I remember this as the first song on the first Clash album and being thunderstruck by the opening chorus.

[JoeStunner]

Incendiary stuff!!! If only most modern bands had 10% of that verve and fury.

[PoireauMan68]

@JoeStunner everyone sedated

[sandandr2]

one of their best songs and live its even better

[dothevol]

Holy Shit!

[desasterz]

Mick Jones is the blackist white man in the room.

[sanativescrub]

[Scottmau5]

Joe Strummer is actually coked oot his nut !!! yeeessssss!!!!!

[thais71100]

Oh yeahhh !!! Rock 'n Roll !!

[luckysilviano]

The perfect Rock n Roll song .

[repodonkey]

an amazing testament to the human spirit. You best believe i break my back to earn my pay, an I don't forget to grovel.

[angrydog1295]

without the Ramones the Clash would just be a another lost poster bill.

[petercrowley41]

The Clash were inspired by The Ramones, but that doesn't make them inferior. Neither band sustained the brilliance of their first couple of years.

[GilbertSyndrome]

Well, since the clash were already playing together after the ramones made it in the UK i'd have to disagree. The ramones did inspire a lot of bands and they helped boost the whole punk movement. Thats like saying that without MC5 the ramones would be another lost poster bill.

[JoesRamone]

but without the Clash, punk wouldn't have been worth shit!

[HellVomit09]

My ears feel good now.

[125Smokey]

Best song under 2 minutes EVER!

[MokaMartini]

"he's in love in r'n'r whooo

he's in love with getting stoned whoo

he's in love with janie jones whoo

but he don't like his boring job now"

simple. brilliant. effective.

a question: does today exist a band that talks to young boys like this?

[ooodzy]

probs the arctic monkeys did, oasis did, the libertines did and as much as i love them all none of them have really stuck to this, but for different reasons!!!!!!!

[GilbertSyndrome]

Probably yeah, i'm sure that some kids have their own versions of the clash.

[guffley]

good post moka

[a997aa]

I love how Joe gets into the song.

[PietriGirl]

amo este tema :)

revolution rockkkk!

[ladymelde]

I don't like my boring job either.

[IAMOHSOGREAT]

I can´t find no fucking job

[andygem]

the future is unwritten

[jaygill111]

[dagwoodful]

[cms331]
