Mick Jones had a band called London S.S. with Bernard Rhodes who would become later The Clash's manager. Paul Simonon joined the London S.S. at its last legs. After, they decided to start all over again in a new band. Mick Jones decided to teach Paul Simonon how to play guitar, but as Paul had never played that instrument, it was too difficult for him. So they decided he should play bass, "because it's easier and has only four strings", as Paul said once. They got Keith Levene as another guitarist and Terry Chimes as drummer. Bernard Rhodes was becoming the band's manager. Paul and Mick met Joe Strummer once, and Bernard asked him if he would like to join the band. Joe Strummer had another band (called The 101'ers) and was more musically experienced than the ot More...

I love this song. Like hell it is! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Death or Glory performed by The Clash An anthem about the death of punk, and the end of an ideal, with the simple refrain that the old anthem of rebellion was just another plot line... Until the bridge. As they sing the last refrain, they finally let us read between the lines: "Like hell it is!". Simply wonderful. Creature Feature Song? | Reviewer: Rapplescallion ------ About the song Tainted Love performed by The Clash When I first heard this song, it was on a CD my buddy gave me and was (supposedly) by Creature Feature... I wanted to look up the lyrics, but aparently there is no CF version? Apparently it's been done by multiple times, but is there a Creature Feature version? Not just a great punk song | Reviewer: Randy Parker ------ About the song Complete Control performed by The Clash Complete Control is not just a great Punk Song. It is one of the greatest songs ever. I first discovered The Clash when I was 14 back in 1980. They moved me like nothing else. I was nuts about The Danmed and The Sex Pistols but nothing ever has hit me so hard as the first time I heard Clash. I remember getting a new pair of headphones from my Mom over this band. She couldn't understand the lyrics(no could I ) and didn't want to. I would blast Complete Contol into my ears and bounce around my room. I had to go buy the sheet music to learn the lyrics. Their accents were so strong it was Hell trying to figure the words out. The music itself was as powerful as the words. The Clash had way of energizing people lke nothing before. I have turned many people on to them over the years. Most were into London Calling more than The Clash LP. That is another sotry in itself. Another one of Musics most important albums was London Calling. If you've never listened to Complete Control. Do yourself a favor. BUY that song. YOU GUYS ARE ALL INSANELY STUPID. | Reviewer: Mishal ------ About the song Rock the Casbah performed by The Clash This is a PUNK ROCK song. This is exactly why The Clash thought it was SO hilarious that the American military were using this song as positive propaganda for the military--IT'S COMPLETELY MAKING FUN OF THEM. The Clash were completely left-wing and completely against the bombing and the war, this is all freaking SATIRE. Seriously, guys, get a fucking clue. It's not against Islam, it's against the suppression of rock music in the middle east, but it's saying the people of the middle east will overcome the oppression and rock ;P Cool Song | Reviewer: Ethan ------ About the song Death is a Star performed by The Clash At first i really didnt much care for the song, but now i listen to it and i like it. I am a guitar play so when i listen to songs i sometimes neglect the lyrics... and this was no exception. It is the tune behind it i find neat, it sounds old and loungy but evilish, its a neat peice of music. But now i have looked at the lyrics and its even more interesting. Good song. One of best Clash songs | Reviewer: Al Nicol ------ About the song Safe European Home performed by The Clash I want this song played at my funeral, it is amazing. It is inspired when Joe n Mick Jones went to Jamaica in order to write 2nd album and felt intimidated when they tried to buy some gear from the locals. They just wanted to come home to a.............. Fabulous song and even better live!!!! charlie don't surf | Reviewer: x ------ About the song Charlie Don't Surf performed by The Clash this song has been with me since i first heard sandinista on a cassette out in the park watching hanes shred vinyl or whatever a f#ckn frisbee is made of. and i play it for every little young m@th*fu#ker that i can. judge not lest ye be found guilty of whatever petty shit that you can think of . what do you think??? Casbah and Sharif | Reviewer: Melissa ------ About the song Rock the Casbah performed by The Clash First of all I have looked up the lyrics to this song and it is Sharif which by the way if your smart and actually look up the definitions of the words Sharif means a prince..... and Casbah is a palace or castle. For all of you whom are arguing the pronunciation of words you know nothing about I recommend you learn to look up things you do not know. Next time check the dictionary when you have things to question and don't make an assumption because then you could be falsely educating other people about something and that is how things throughout history get mis represented and inacurately spoken of! Nuclear error and more | Reviewer: Chuck ------ About the song London Calling performed by The Clash I too am fortunate enough to still have all my vinyl and the precious info packaged with the jacket - I so miss those! Just wanted to confirm nuclear error, but also, alluding to London in WWII, radio signal for news was at top of the dial and London sent out the air raid sirens that could be heard in the small towns. Remember your history classes, the details are spelled out in lyrics such as come out of your cupboards. Why I came here and put this post now- Werewolves of London, released by Warren Zevon a year previous, 1978, is homaged with the werewolf cries during the middle eighth of London Calling. Cool trivia for younger people exploring past music and that song in particular because of Kid Rock's sampling of Werewolves in his current Sweet Home rip off hit. At least it has kids checking out the real thing and that's sweet. wow you are stupid | Reviewer: huss ------ About the song Rock the Casbah performed by The Clash the dude with the wow review you are stupid as an arab and a fan of the clash i can assure you 100% casbah doesn't mean mosque you idiot it just means a region and he says sharif it's obvious have you ever heard the song,how did you hear sharif as sharia tone deaf is one thing but you are completely deaf. subject | Reviewer: cindy mcclellan ------ About the song Rock the Casbah performed by The Clash lol. a casbah is a marketplace you guys. its just the center of the citadel.there are no Algerians. it's just about ayatollah khomeni's disapproval of western culture in Iran and the oil crisis of the 70s. You are the stupid one. | Reviewer: What ------ About the song Rock the Casbah performed by The Clash This song talks about how Iran outlawed western music. The Sharif a.k.a. the leader doesn't like the music being played. He bans it but people still play it behind his back. So he sends his jet fighters to bomb those who play the music but the pilots also like the music. Casbah means like a fortress. Basically, it's rock the fortress even if the leader doesn't like it. It's my interpretation of the song. wonder why? | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Safe European Home performed by The Clash Sitting here in my safe european office, Mickey, I'm wondering why people think Americans are dense. Was the reference to every white face being an invitation to robbery, the natty dreads at the Sheraton, or the Rudie come from Jamaica part that made you think this song was about America? Sharif | Reviewer: Bosco ------ About the song Rock the Casbah performed by The Clash Sharīf (Arabic: شريف) is a traditional Arab tribal title given to those who serve as the protector of the tribe and all tribal assets, such as property, wells, and land. The feminine form is sharifa(h). beautiful. | Reviewer: saleskee ------ About the song Death is a Star performed by The Clash I love the beginning; the "I was gripped *Clicks fingers* by that deadly phantom." I believe it's about the fact that people escape their daily lives through movies and they don't mind seeing a little bit of death and destruction - it excites them. great band | Reviewer: dave ------ About the song London Calling performed by The Clash i had heard of clash quite a while ago but never really listened to them properly and though they wasn't my kind of think , oh how wrong i was this song is amazing and the lyrics are pefect im only 19 but i can relate totally to this song , i love the clash one of my most fav bands ever these type of bands wipe the floor with any of the latest new bands ! can't beat some good old rock ! White Riot They don't write songs like this anymore | Reviewer: randy thomson ------ About the song White Riot performed by The Clash This song has stood the test of time. The first punk song I ever heard besides Love's"7 and & Is" it still sounds fresh, more than thirty years later. The Clash were, for a few years there, "The only band that mattered." There's so much energy in the song, singing simple, but effective lyrics, and Mick Jones was just beginning to show what he could pull off on guitar. They shouldn't have let their egos get in the way and tear themselves apart. They were needed long after we had to play their old stuff to hear something that meant anything. Not a clash song.. | Reviewer: monkey ------ About the song Tainted Love performed by The Clash Nope. The Clash *NEVER* did this song. Definately not a released version. I can find no evidence anywhere that The Clash ever did this song in concert or otherwise.. the wikipedia article was most likely corrected because of this error. It's wrong on a lot of places on the net - mostly the robot lyrics sites. If someone could correct me, i'd appreciate it. wow | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Rock the Casbah performed by The Clash "you are all stupid. a casbah is like a mosque. it's an islamic place of prayer. it is against "sharia law" to play rock music, or even dance. they are saying sharia don't like it, not the sharif don't like it. it's a song about protesting islam" i think that the stupid one here is you... and it is the sharif... listen tot he song and look at the lyrics on the inside of any cd with this song on it You could review the artist/band The Clash in Biography page You could review The Clash album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review The Clash song by clicking the song which you like  Download "The Clash" Music | |
