Joe Strummer, my favourite front man of all time, with a song I can remember chanting at the top of my voice at the Glasgow Apollo! 'When will we see your like again'
J.B. Beverley He isn’t truly gone ever. I feel deeply connected to joe himself. I feel his presences and joe’s spirit is around me and there. I really freaking truly madly deeply love him so much. Words just freaking describe ever what joe really means to me.
I’ll never forget the shock & disbelief I felt when I heard Joe had passed on... although I never knew him, it felt like a very close friend or much loved family member had died.
I was 17 when Joe passed away. This song has always struck a chord with me and if anyone asks, it's my favorite song. The vibe and political tone fit what I represent. It's not a flashy favorite song of all time but it hits all the notes and well it gets people to listen to the Clash.
Saw The Clash in Purley, Surrey in December 1978....& I was only just 14. And again in 1981 when I was a little bit taller. Scary times but I'm so glad I went.....they were brilliant. 👌
Met with Joe and The Clash backstage in 82 and also in 99 with The Mescalaros, honesty one of the nicest guy I've ever met, not one bit of " Rock Star" arrogance,he went out of his way to talk sincerely with all his fans,r.i.p Joe....
Biblical ,right on the barrier on my mates shoulders , sang every word with him , amazing gig nearly all classic Clash songs , i was so happy if I died then I'd be happy😂😂😂
Joe Strummer to me and millions of other Clash fans is and always will be the voice of punk rock and his music will live on for all eternity! Miss him sooooo much ! Absolute legend 👏
The importance and impact of this mans musicial contribution have few equals.and thats a good thing.joe achieved immortality just by being himself.rare.
So fortunate to have been there. And I remember at the time one reviewer described Joe Strummer and The Mescaleros more fun than any Clash reunion. RIP, Joe.
An actual guy that was angry about his lot,Squatter in the late 70's,when times were genuinely difficult.also said,after the single release of The Clash,'This Is England' When England fans rioted abroad,It filled him with pride
The Herald June 2022.i can actually remember it when he actually said it,as it astonished me..Also wore England tops a couple of times on stage about this time
Joe was awesome, & one of a kind as a frontman! I saw the Clash at the at the Hammersmith Palais in 1979 or 1980, & they were excellent! No video will ever convey just how good they were, Joe in particular. They created an atmosphere that doesn't come across on here. Sorely missed indeed!
Joe's music has been in my life since I was 10 years old when I heard Tommy Gun. Im 50 now and have him to thank for turning me onto reggae,dub,ska 50s and 60's psyche and rockabilly,hip hop from a young age. I listen to allsorts but there's always room for Joe and The Clash. R.I.P.
Miss Joe Squillions..bought him and Simeon a couple of drinks in Newcastle before a Uni gig and our friendship began. They were skint..but Joe never forgot and l got a drink back off him in Derby.
I was there. If I remember correctly, he played Rock the Casbah and everyone went nuts. Also at one point, he attacked one of the TV cameras I think with one his guitar.
