    The unfortunate thing is Joe wasn’t fully appreciated while he was alive. Yes, The Clash had a loyal following, but they were rarely on TV. Their albums weren’t million-sellers at the time. I’m just glad I saw them play live in 1978, 1982 and 1985. They changed my life.

    The lyric sheet to Combat Rock raises rock/ punk lyrics over the edge of the greatest poet- beat-rock art style of all time.

    Joe was a musical and lyrical genius, an innovator and one of a kind, super cool bloke was a well above average human being to boot. Man, he’s my #1 rocker and always will be. He lives on thru us.

    He played a gig in Liverpool not long before he died, my cousin who was into punk went and said Joe looked ill and was very pale and sweaty. He even told his then girlfriend he was worried Joe was ill but just thought it was his age and touring taking its toll. Died way too young but at least did what he loved right up until the end👍

    I lost track of the Clash over the decades. I saw the Clash play at the Palladium (formerly, the Academy of Music) in NYC - I believe it was the London Calling tour. I was sad to learn that Joe died so young.

    Although an average guitarist, Joe was a great songwriter and combined with Mick Jones' song writing skills The Clash were always going to make it, with or without the Punk Rock movement. I never did get to see The 101ers or The Clash live, but did know Clive Timperley, the lead guitarist for The 101ers; now he was a great guitarist and all around nice guy too. Interesting and informative video on a true British rocker - thanks for uploading - liked and subscribed.

      And 50% of this iconic band. Their respective back grounds are irrelevant, what mattered was their chemistry and what they created together. Let me guess…..your working class and still have that chip on your shoulder?
