    I was fortunate enough to see The Clash live, on more than one occasion in the 70's, & early 80's. They were so much more than Punks, which is what a lot of people assumed they were.
    One of the most underrated bands that the UK has ever produced in my opinion, & Bankrobber is one of their smoothest tracks.
    R.I.P. Joe.

      I've seen them more than once, too. The first one was in Milan, summer 1980, Sandinista tour, the last one at Fair Deal, Brixton, July 1982. An also after Mick Jones was sacked I saw them in Milan, but they weren't the Clash anymore IMO

      Yeah, it's funny they were inspired by several different music styles and tried to culminate them all into one.
      And they took it on to big audio dynamite where they really would put all sorts of music into one track with just combinations merge together

    I've been serious fan of The Clash for almost 20 years and I'd never heard this brilliant jam until a year ago. It's a definite staple in my constant rotation and always gives me a sense of happiness to whenever I hear it. Strummer, along with the remaining three were just the best. Clash had the. Chops to seriously play, style for miles , & really were the most important band in the world, for a good run. I miss strummer. He was a good man, and great musician. I'll never forget the day I learned of his passing away. A sad day indeed

    An iconic band that influence the British music scene for years, and this is by far the best version of Bank Robber.
    I find it incredible to think that we lost Joe 20 years ago this year, I take time out every December to reflect on his music and it ht me quite hard when he died, I don't why, but I was shellshocked.

    Always loved the Clash Still do. I grew up on the Stones ( I’m 59) I read in an interview Joe said when he heard ‘Not Fade Away’ ( Stones version) he knew he wanted to be in a band. Also as a fan of both the Stones turned me on to Blues and the Clash onto Reggae. Stones were influenced by American blues and the Clash by Brixton Reggae what could be better.

      Bullshit, if you're going to lie at least make it believable. There was no such thing as a Euro in ww2. The Euro didn't come out until 1st January 1999 and if your father was in the war you must be about 70 so you would be old enough to remember before Euro's ,the fact you didn't shows that you must be young.
      When telling lies do the research and it may be more believable
