I was born way too late to see them live. Which fucking sucks, The Clash is the greatest band ever, and kids in my generation are stupid fucks for not liking them.

@sclapione Maybe, but it's good.

@dutchjoens "He had ZERO impact outside POP culture"

Bullshit.

@Ncjpr1993 "ls, which ranged from stuff as soft as Elton John, to stuff like Iron Maiden"

the mainstream of the time

Saw them on the Combat Rock tour in 1982 but it was over by then - I wish I had seen them in 77. At least I got to see Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros before he died. I saw the Beatles live [yes, I am that old] and the Stones and the Who several times, but the Clash were the business!

I saw them in NY a couple of times in the 80s, nothing has ever come close to those concerts. No group has ever come close. "The only band that matters."

@Ncjpr1993 brutal, unrefined; but true. :3

@Ncjpr1993 I feel the same mate

I saw them in Toronto 1982. The stage had meshing and camouflage, so it was easy to climb up on stage. I went during the song "Call Up", which was pretty mellow and after 30 seconds I was politely escorted off the stage. At Police and Thieves, this big black guy went berserk and rushed the stage. He was the 1st to get thrown off stage. White Riot was the encore and Joe created a Wall of Sound. Fans rushed the stage and were getting thrown off seconds after they got up.

@daytonacameras I'll thank my family for my taste in music. My mom raised me listening to her vinyls, which ranged from stuff as soft as Elton John, to stuff like Iron Maiden. My oldest brother got me into punk when I was about 5. I would dig through his CD collection to look for something to play Super Mario 64 to, and one day, I found The Clash.
