For all the aging punks on here, by Coach on Aug 9, 2013 22:16:39 GMT 1, Front Row on Radio 4 tonight was a special about one of the greatest bands of all time - The Clash
The blurb:
The Clash were the noisy sound of rebellion in the late 1970s, a band who refused to perform on Top of the Pops, sold their double album for the price of a single LP, and won an international audience and critical acclaim.
Three decades after their acrimonious split, band members Mick Jones, Paul Simonon and Nicky 'Topper' Headon re-unite to reflect on their career and their legacy, as they prepare to release a box set of all their music.
And from the Front Row archives, we hear from the band's charismatic front-man Joe Strummer, recorded in 1999, three years before his death at the age of 50: 'musicians don't know what they're doing in a creative way, it's more like blundering around - and certainly we had no idea what sort of impact we were going to make with our blunderings'.

Great on vinyl, even better live, unfortunately I was a little too young to see them live in concert, but the recordings are great

Meltdown expected, the wheat is growing thin
Engines stop running but I have no fear
'Cause London is burning and I live by the river..."
London Calling - now there's a rock song. Sadly, they don't write 'em like that anymore. Joe Strummer, amigo mio, you are sorely missed.

Once you start listening to R4, it becomes like a family member or an old friend! The today programme in the morning is very good. The comedy is excellent, especially the news quiz and I'm sorry I haven't a clue. But then I am a bit of an oldie.

I heard that at the time, and was pissing myself on the way to work.
Anyway, hope you old punks enjoy the clash programme.
Still blown away BT white riot, even after all these years.

For all the aging punks on here, by Happy Go Lucky Chap on Aug 11, 2013 10:55:04 GMT 1, Was lucky enough to see them a handful of times, most memorable was Joe Strummer singing Armagideon Time whilst standing on our table in a pub in Edinburgh during the busking tour of 85.
Recently saw SLF, 'twas a good pogo!

My all time favourite gig was Strummer and the Mecaleroes in Belfast in 99. Amazing stuff and a top, top bloke
*any excuse to get this one up again*

please don't tell me you went to those gigs you b@stard? Sadly not. They're not mine unfortunately. I came across them while searching for any info on a festival I went to in the early '80's at Queen's Hall in Leeds, 'Christmas on Earth' it was billed as. Bloomin' cold and grim was how I remember it. |

Dubious claim to famed being threatened not once , but twice by Paul Simenon with a bass guitar over my head for gobbing in his face ....disgusting habit.
