Why did you use the wrong mick jones in the photo at 2:19 that’s mick jones from Foreigner bit of a mess up just saying 2mil subscribers and no checking?
If you like the clash, you gotta listen to Angelic Upstarts and The Partisans. Check out Angelic Upstarts - Last Night Another Soldier and The Partisans - Anger and Fear
Met Topper down London 1991 when he was a taxi driver and must admit one of the nicest guys you would ever meet and in my opinion the Best drummer of all put it this way tell me a drummer thats done Ska, Basic Rock, Punk, Reggae, Jazz, Calypso, Funk the list goes on.......
This is England is one of their better songs Considering how dog shit the punk scene is today. Three card trick and North & South are pretty solid. The hook to movers and shakers is good.
@@Scott_M23 same as, the tracks you've picked are the same ones I would have picked. shame how it was Paul who in later years was the one that stopped the Clash from reforming.
5:34 you’ve made some glaring mistakes here. Terry Chimes (Tory Crimes) was the original drummer, who played on the first album. Topper Headon would join just before the recording of Give ‘Em Enough Rope. Chimes was brought back in 1982, 5 years after his departure. This is pretty well known stuff.
the_clash The name 'The Clash' came to Paul Simonon when he was reading the paper and kept noticing the word ‘clash’ mentioned in news reports. Prior to that, the band had considered calling themselves either The Weak Heartdrops or The Psychotic Negatives.
@@PerJustert THAT'S WRONG THEN AINT IT, I'M AN OUTRIGHT ATHEIST AND DON'T BELIEVE IN CONDITIONING FACTIONS. GOD IS AS FAKE AS EVERY RELIGION. SO SORRY FRIEND, YOU ARE WRONG.
The last photograph of Keith Levene is in fact P.I.L. guitarist Lu Edmonds who is thankfully still very much alive. You already know that Mick Jones from The Clash isn’t Mick Jones from Foreigner as your photo caption to his quote would have us believe!
St. Bartholomew’s Catholic Grade School circa 1985 in the 5th grade a classmate tells us about the concert her older brothers took her to over the weekend. None of us knew what or had attended a concert yet. It was The Clash opening up for The Police at Shea Stadium NYC. The Police disbanded after this show. The Clash disbanded in near future after headlining the Us festival.
Terry Chimes was the first real solid rock drummer of The Clash. And a very important drummer, although as an "unofficial member" of the band, but without whose participation in the creation of the band, the first and later, real productive rehearsals where the three of them learned to play, when Mick Jones, himself still a beginner player, still taught Paul Simona how to play the bass guitar; but right from the beginning, from scratch. Paul painted the notes on the neck of the guitar and Mick would constantly shout the next change to tell him what key they were going into and when. Joe Strummer was "color television" for them in terms of playing. But Terry, with his personal political considerations, differed from the other three "Marxists and Trotskyists" who shared a strong socialist/communist worldview, but since they could not easily find another drummer, he still decided to help them with the first album, and despite all the differences on personal plan, kept in the band and helped with songwriting and arrangements for The Clash's first album, on which 14 songs were recorded from February 10 - 27, 1977. In those early days of The Clash, the members often had conversations like "what would you do with with money when they would get rich?", clean pipe dreams of the still often hungry gang members. Terry said that he would buy himself a Lamborghini car, which shocked his friends from the band extremely, and Simonon had never even heard of that Italian car manufacturer before, but thought it was some kind of parrot. That's why Terry "behind the back" was declared a "wannabe" of the rich, the type who vote for the Conservative Party - colloquially called "the Tories" - a party of conservative people and the same values, a party of the English aristocracy connected to the Anglican Church and money flows in the City of London. For the other three, the policy of the British Labor Party was "too soft" and insufficiently clear in its political stance, firm and socially aware. And that political direction, the honest left, which cared the most on fair wages for British workers and pensioners, the unemployed youngsters from Generation X with no positive changes or hopes on horizon, and the most vulnerable group of people - the group of people who maintained production in Britain, and who barely live with their pays in dull, cold and gray council flats.. It was a tolerable left, always lagging behind, but it believed in the maturing of human consciousness... Certainly not today's Marxist fifth column and the terrorist "Antifa" who do not understand anything, but want the destruction and disappearance of their own country in the name of some internationalism - the old, communist name for globalism. Having left the band after the recording of the first album, for political reasons and expressed desire for a Lamborghini car, from his name Terry Chimes, they wrote names on musitians on LP sleeve; drums by Tory Crimes, which means; "Tory criminals". A simple word play with words.. That was not fair to Terry, but it "raised some dust" in musical industry and in dedicated media circles which were pleased that The Clash showed their political direction.. After Topper being sacked from band, Terry once again was jump in and play with rest of the band the USA leg of the "Combat Rock" tour. Sad fact; gig at Shea Stadium, that night on October 13th 1982, was the last gig with The Clash for Terry Chimes. Soon, the next year, on date May 28, 1983, after playing in San Bernardino at a big festival organized by the next generation of "computer geeks" like Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, etc. The main intention of the organizers was to recreate a "woodstock" type of festival, but with bands of their generation. The festival was very well attended, and for The Clash the whole event had the significance of the LAST performance of Mick Jones with his band The Clash. As Joe Strummer often used to say; "The second Topper left, from then on The Clash was just alive.. It was a matter of the moment of the final breakup. The life lesson I learned from all these events is; Don't fix it if it ain't really broken, because the band is a special mix of playing skill and different personalities, for which, thank God, it's impossible to write a formula. We were too young, but we had the pace; practicing, recording the album, and then promoting it around the world. And that's how it was from the first album until "Combat Rock". And everyone we were dead, exhausted. If I had this intelligence and experience then, if we had taken only a year off, The Clash would still be playing today in the original line-up", said Joe a few months before his death, when the most serious possibility appeared the band plays several shows in the original line-up. What a pity..
You are showing the wrong Mick Jones at 02:18. The questions your competence, it really does. You just look for any scandals, where are none. Horrible.
Management had nothing to do with it! Joe Strummer sacked Topper Headon because he was junkie and could barely function anymore. Joe sacked Mick because he wasn't committed to the Clash anymore. He didn't care and wanted to do his own thing. He didn't even want to go on tour again. So both became unreliable. Both Topper and Mick have said they deserved to get fired.
@@electricleg207 yeah they were replaced but band was awful basically doing clash covers in pubs and stuff. Joe was the true gen though and I'll never stop listening. Saw them at Bonds under riotous conditions but worth it.
Joe deeply regretted the sacking of Topper. But at the time it was necessary, and i believe that it saved Toppers life. But i cried when i heard it. I'm an ateist, and Joe Strummer was my God. He shaped me politically.
@@PerJustert I know it saved topper and as someone in recovery myself I'm glad he made it. Still they were. Once in a lifetime band and I think topper the best drummer of the genre. Saw them at bonds in nyc
Yet again get your facts right as Keith Levene was a guitarist NOT A BASS PLAYER and was one of the original Clash members of 76. this download gets a👎
As a lifelong Clash fan, I just now in 2023 see the results and this news of what actually happened to the great band.! Sandinista in 1981 was my favorite. Forgive me for being a bit late. As a soldier for Christ nearly 60 and looking and feeling 25, I wish the band members could #1 not have done any drugs at all besides coffee. Talked and thought more about things and this would've helped you all get along better. Wanna be a rebel now, just believe in the Bible, be straight and reject false doctrine and rainbow colored trans crap and such movements and you will surely be a rebel and a good one! God bless you Joe Strummer and the band, you are in my prayers!
Actually, he did it. Strummer hit a violent bloke in Hamburg at the Markthalle on 19 may 1980. He then regretted it later, for he said during an interview that it made him understand how easily violence can overcome one's personality (or something like that... going by memory here)
The Clash has always had the moniker “The only band that matters”. This is the first time I’m hearing THE MIGHTY VAN HALEN moniker. Also, Van Halen was headlining the Hard Rock day of US Festival. The Clash was headlining the Punk/New Wave day of the US festival. How does one musical genre beat down another?
The Clash blew Van Halen out the water with ease, what type of music did Van do? try pathetic commercial rock nothing more, nothing less, what did the Clash do? Well try Punk, Ska, Basic Rock, Calypso, Jazz, Reggae....the list goes on basically my friend you haven't got a fcuking clue about music but then again you like Van Halen....need I say more.
Sandinista was the most important Clash album for several reasons. First off all it was a kick in the record companys ball's. Usually they charged dobbel for dobbel albums. Clash ment that they were greedy an made the only trippel album in the history of rock n'roll, and they charged it like a single album. Secondly it was the first album that criticised USA and their use of CIA as a terror organisation in South America, destroying democracy and supported fascist tyrannical leaders in slating political opposition. It was the album that shaped us leftwingers.
What is your favorite album by The Clash?
Why did you use the wrong mick jones in the photo at 2:19 that’s mick jones from Foreigner bit of a mess up just saying 2mil subscribers and no checking?

Sandinista!
Sandinista. The album with the lyrics and pictures on the sleeves were priceless!
Love their music. Still listen to it today. Thank you for sharing this. ❤️🏴
At 2:19 that picture is the wrong Mick Jones. The picture is the Foreigner Mick Jones... lol... great research!
Best band of all time you can’t change my mind nobody has topped them

This band saved my life ✔️
Mick Jones thumbnail photo at 2:19 is the wrong Mick Jones. That's the guy from Foreigner.
ITS NOT THE SAME MICK JONES? bruh I've always thought it was the same 😭

Topper was certainly a great stuff he could play all styles of music and guitar and piano as well . By his own admission a terrible cab driver though!
Whats tragic about the Clash is their album released in 1985 😳
It was trash
This is England is one of their better songs
Considering how dog shit the punk scene is today. Three card trick and North & South are pretty solid. The hook to movers and shakers is good.
@@Scott_M23 I think there are some good songs on it, but the production is terrible.

I listen to Radio Clash pretty much daily 🎶🎤🎸
"Rock The Casbah" featured Joe Strummer on vocals. Mick Jones sang on "Should I Stay Or Should I Go?"

Also, "English Civil War." Good stuff.
Topper did not join just in time for their first album. His first album was "Give em enough rope"
The absolute DEFINITIVE punk band ever!
In the mid-1970s punk rock was the shot-in-the-arm rock music needed. As the saying goes about the Clash: "The Only Band That Matters."

I love your pfp!!

Armagideon time cover is one of their most underrated
Cut the Crap was shockingly crap.
Finally bro a clash vid
FINALLY SOMEONE GETS THE PRONOUNCIATION RIGHT WITH TOPPERS SURNAME. HEEDON NOT HEAD- ON.
I remember when they went to Number 1 in England.

the Clash never opened for the Police at the Shea
My bad, you are correct sir. If only I had a older brother who was willing to take me to either show!
Topper HEAD-ON, not "Heedon." You can't have a heedon collision, but you can have a head-on collision.

The 101ers were not a cover band as they did their own numbers and yet again👎

Absolutely wrong. Strummer didn't hit anyone over the head with his guitar it was Simmonon at a gig in Europe possibly Germany.
