Joe Strummer

[Pevenseagull]

1 yr on from his untimely death, I for one will be toasting the great man this afternoon

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

R.I.P Joe Strummer - The Thinking Man's Johnny Rotten

 

[Marc]

Indeed, I remember sitting in McDonalds in Churchill Square Mall and getting a text off my old man "Sorry Marc sad news, Joe Strummer died of a heartattack yesterday" - I sat there in silence and disbelief, totally shocked.
Wore my old mans Clash T-Shirt that evening.

Certainly a to the legend will be had tonight, he is still thoroughly missed, may he continue to R.I.P.

 

[Gwylan]

I was in shock most of last year's Christmas eve. I remember playing all four sides of London calling one after the other (yes, I still have it on vinyl).

RIP Joe, you'll be long remembered.

COMANDANTE JOE

I guess in quite a lot of ways I grew up just like you
A bolshy kid who didn’t think the way they told him to
You kicked over the statues, a roots rock rebel star
Who knew that punk was more than just the sound of a guitar
And I’ll always remember that night at the Rainbow
When you wrote a soundtrack for my life,
Comandante Joe.

So many bands back then were like too many bands today
A bunch of blokes who made a noise with bugger all to say
The Clash were always out in front, you put the rest to shame
Your words were calls to action, your music was a flame
You were our common Dante, and you raised an inferno
And you wrote a soundtrack for my life,
Comandante Joe.

Reggae in the Palais
Midnight till six!
Rockin’ Reds in Brockwell Park!
Sten guns in Knightsbridge!
Up and down the Westway
In and out the lights!
Clash City Rockers!
Know Your Rights!

I guess in quite a lot of ways I grew up just like you
A bolshy kid who didn’t think the way they told him to
Like you I always knew that words and music held the key
As you did for so many, you showed the way to me
Although I never met you, I’m so sad to see you go
‘Cos you wrote a soundtrack for my life,
Comandante Joe.

[Brighton Jock]

Joe Strummer ,an absolute legend, RIP Joe............

 

[London Calling]

Its ironic that Joe who gave so much, inspired so many will get **** all OBE's etc but Mick Jagger etc get awards but for what? The ability to grow old ungracefully?

"Cos you wrote a soundtrack for my life,"

Attila, nice one and it goes for many many others too.

 

[El Presidente]

"Cos you wrote a soundtrack for my life,"

The same could of course be said for Rick Astley

 

[Hiney]

Thanks Attila, brilliant stuff.

Watched Rude Boy last night. What a f***ing brilliant band The Clash were.

Favourite Track ...............

White Riot - so much energy

 

[Southy]

Complete control, white man, Tommy Gun, straight to Hell, Rudie cant fail, safe european homes, the list could go on for ever. Just bought streetcore and coma girl is as good as anything he ever did. The Clash were the greatest band of all time and Joe was their heart, RIP Joe X

Well I don't think he's great man. I think that The Clash were and remain pure and utter crap. If the PC lefty brigade/in crowd on this forum don't like that then tough. That includes Attila the Commie.

Cue abuse, but I am as big an Albion fan on this forum as anyone else. I am also Right Wing so make a meal of that heroes! No doubt when you return to mummy and daddy's palatial pile and have grown out of trying to be shocking, you may grow up but I doubt it. When you are a professional earning loads you will still be extolling the virtuies of the "alternative".

RULE BRITANNIA!

Well that was a rant and a half ! Somewhat disrepectful to the memory of the man we wished to remember. Dont really see your point to mention it here on this thread.

My wife gave me the Streetcore cd for Christmas - Joe still had it in him. Only wish I had taken the chance to see The Mescaleros when I had a chance.
