I really enjoyed watching this. It's like someone that took the shortcut because they were super excited to get to their destination then taking the scenic route home and being amazed by everything they missed along the way the first time 👍😎👍
A lot of people didn't get to the 2nd part, so I thought it would be an appropriate Monday upload. I'm working on a big one for the end of the week, so the patience will be rewarded, lol
I think the key element is Terry Chimes he gave the clash that beefy earlier sound with his drumming he was a straight punk/rock n roll drummer. His band list after the clash is impressive Generation x, couple of shows with sham 69, Hanoi rocks, the cherry bombs, black sabbath, the heartbreakers (johnny thunders not tom petty obviously).
I just “discovered” Lars Fredriksen’s band Old Firm Casuals and their album called This Means War. You should definitely check them out if you haven’t already. They just wrapped up recording sessions for a new album as well!
Cool thing about the clash was they never tainted their legacy by doing the "reunion" yes mick and paul used to do clash medley's as encores with damon albarn and Gabriel Wallace when they were both touring members of Gorillaz but we never got the equivalent of what the pistols are doing now a pistols advertised tour without rotten.
Give 'Em Enough Rope slaps. Hard for me to say which I like more between that and London Calling but I'd still probably go London Calling just because of how formative that record was for me. Also Hateful is still my favourite Clash song so that's a point for London Calling too.
Also side note, if you're looking for other profoundly impactful bands I would look into The Buzzcocks who technically invented d-beat with their song You Tear Me Up (Discharge credits them as inspiration). Also HAH, I didn't get to the part of the video where you said you didn't like The Buzzcocks when I wrote this.
@@thepunkrockreview Haha, they are definitely very much a pop band so I can see why they're not for everyone, but they have some really stand out tracks that are worth going back for imo, even if ya don't like the poppier stuff. For me those would be: Harmony In My Head Airwaves Dream Something's Gone Wrong Again Moving Away From The Pulsebeat Jerk Everybody's Happy Nowadays What Do You Know Lipstick You Tear Me Up (as previously mentioned) Also Pete Shelley went on to form Magazine and their song Shot By Both Sides always deserves a listen. It shares a riff with Lipstick but I think it's just a much better use of it in Shot By Both Sides.
I love learning with you except for me it's that I've been a Clash fan for decades but never listened to Rancid. I guess I'll go do some homework. Edited to ask: Good Rancid album for a Clash fan to start with?
I would start with And Out Come The Wolves. Then check out Let's Go, then Indestructible, Troublemaker, Let The Dominoes Fall, Life Won't Wait. In that order. I'd love your feedback on some of it.... shoot me an email if you want to chat about it!
i was never a big fan of the clash. i liked the first abum but after that they were crap. when i first connected the clash n rancid was the out come the wolves album. thought that was a bit clashy. but one of my fave memories when i was a kid was buying white riot at a shop called bostocks in bradford. i went back the week after and thought fuck it im getting the album lol.. that was the last time i bought a clash record ..1978... they brought a film out in 79 called rude boy.. if anybody aint seen it..its worth a watch
The punk rock voice: I think it comes from David Bowie. At first people kind of argued over what punk rock was. This is why this is happening. Bauhaus was considered punk at first by some. Peter Murphy and Joe Strummer sound similar, and that is rooted in Bowie. Others share this opinion.
You’re probably about the same age as me. I remember seeing One Man Army at an abandoned naval base when I was 17. Anyway, I’ve noticed that in a lot of online spaces there are people trying to say punk rock is a conservative, right wing movement/music genre. We are old enough to know better than that, but my concern is the younger people who aren’t old enough to know better. People like us need to teach the younger folks what punk actually is, and it isn’t supportive of the police, or support billionaire politicians and businessmen. It’s crazy that people are saying that. Anyway, nice video!!
The only people saying that are people that don't matter. They're actually just saying more or less that right wing is counter culture. Which, if you think about it, should be a good thing, and celebrated. Tho I don't think it's necessarily true. Don't listen to Joe Rogan, either, he doesn't make the rules. VIVA LA REVOLUTION!!! 👊😎🏴☠️
The worst = Cut The Crap, combat rock is more like aquired taste, Sandinista is arguably loaded with filler, London calling.. not sure why you still have a dislike for but hey i dont like ketchup so... 😂
@thepunkrockreview i can totally see the Sandinista dislike, i can kind of understand Combat Rock (although funk/DUB Clash is my favorite ) but London Calling.. I'm glad you're giving it a chance though! the Album Cut The Crap is the worst in my book so I'm wondering how you will (if) review it.

That's a prefect description of this, actually, lol
Fuck it, I’ll watch it again. Fun video 👏

The BBC did a documentary about what was happening when The Clash became big. It is on youtube...Rasta.

The more I learn about it all, the more I agree with that quite a bit

Been a fan of them for YEARS! Great band, stoked to hear some new material from them

Yeah, that's super weird, can't do a show without the front man while he's still alive... lol

First Buzzcocks singer > the later one
Lol, I'm still willing to try more of their music and see if I can't broaden my tastes a bit
@@thepunkrockreview Haha, they are definitely very much a pop band so I can see why they're not for everyone, but they have some really stand out tracks that are worth going back for imo, even if ya don't like the poppier stuff.
For me those would be:
Harmony In My Head
Airwaves Dream
Something's Gone Wrong Again
Moving Away From The Pulsebeat
Jerk
Everybody's Happy Nowadays
What Do You Know
Lipstick
You Tear Me Up (as previously mentioned)
Also Pete Shelley went on to form Magazine and their song Shot By Both Sides always deserves a listen. It shares a riff with Lipstick but I think it's just a much better use of it in Shot By Both Sides.
Cut the crap didn't do well but I like it. Especially the song We are the Clash, or dirty punk. My fav album is The Singles (1991). It's roots

What are some of your favorite bands?

so true its an individual journey for us all and what a trip it was
Yeah, I'm still struggling with the fact that I enjoy a couple of their albums, lol

Yeah i tried London Calling again and I just don't care for it, much
