Fred can literally do it all! I thought this guy was already talented and absolutely hilarious, but there is so much more to him and this video proves it. Keep doin' your thing Fred and we know for fact that anything you pursue in will be great!
Fred Armisen is amazing - loved his comedy and finding out he could play a range of instruments was a 'nice detail' - but what I didn't realise was the pain music brought him and I think you can hear that melancholia / loss in this video. The idea of a young Fred Armisen being in a 90s punk rock band, waiting for their breakthrough that never came to the point he couldn't enjoy/listen to music anymore... and having to make the choice to let it go. Going through all of that and becoming a success in a different area and maintaining a sense of positivity is really inspiring.
This is AWESOME!!!! The Clash THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS!!!! ✊❤️❤️✊ We love and miss you Joe!!! RIP JOE!! 😢❤️❤️😢 WELL DONE FRED!! ✊❤️❤️✊ Just like Fred’s shirt says in the opening of SNL...”Thank You Joe Strummer!”
Yooooo … i am just seeing this , AND AND , the 100th time as well. He is my DUDE ! Fred Rubbish , mate !!! His Clash-game , Punk-RocknRoll as a whole, ALLL instruments is super tight too , just the knowledge. 11 years my senior , he may be, but my top go-to everyday is the nyc London music scene , from back then , THE BEST , aw man , too rad. GOTTA grab J.Thunders LP jr. and bust some Dolls licks just from hearing a couple secs. of ANY of it !!!!
This is the great thing about loop pedals. You don't need people to jam with anymore you can just do it all yourself. Also Fred Armisen is a good musician.
I visited other music once a looong time ago. It was a very nice experience. I bought joia by Caetano veloso. Great disc five out of five stars. And probably the most other music piece I could have purchased that day. Nice job here by Fred.
My mantra song, every morning ,every night ,whole day uplifting my spirit ,start my day with good vibes full of energy, its like medicine to my soul,, I simply love it, thank you so much.Love the CLASH😍 👍😎
This isnt sampling Doof. He's Actually looping music, which u can't do. SInce u think this is "sampling" lmao 😂 Learn music terms before u ever Comment Again💯
@@bettyvermont9352 What a rude, ungracious, unwarranted response. If you think you know it all,, you are sadly mistaken. Why not be kind instead? The people who you communicate with will feel better, and so will you. You could start by apologizing to luna reed, go to your room if you can't play nice. You'll be a happier person, you just will!
@@bettyvermont9352 you are such a dickhead. Imagine gatekeeping looper pedals of all things… Knowing ‘music terms’ is in no way an indicator of knowing how to play music.
yeah well, i never even heard the Clash version, only the Equals, and 'police on my back' is not as good as their other songs, like 'hold me closer' and 'baby come back' and 'ooh that kiss.' but this is blowing my mind. honestly? this sounds like if UNREST covered it. i am MESMERIZED. fkin great!
When all your Punk Rock Friends left your Band and settled down for Job and Family Life.
Yeah but you get to be on SNL this way, so who's the real winner here?
The friends got layed off and divorced. You just wrote a new song

Priceless!!! 🍻☮️
I like how some people are talking shit like they could loop better. This is pretty awesome. He has a pretty good sense of timing.
Simon Keel he was and still is a drummer.
@@clydeg4274 I'm a drummer and can't use my line 6, or my boss shit to loop so we'll. He's a musician.
Freddy Loops
"Pretty awesome "?
Just FUCKING AWESOME
Ian Rubbish, his punk character on SNL, is the best Joe Strummer impersonation I have ever heard. This guy is SO talented!
Ian Rubbish is like Joe Strummer, Johnny Rotten and Mick Jones all rolled into one. His character is like an homage disguised as a parody.
@@kevinkibble8342I think the word is pastiche!
Fred can literally do it all! I thought this guy was already talented and absolutely hilarious, but there is so much more to him and this video proves it.

He is a freaking genius !❤🎤🎸🎼

I like Fred Armisen too. He's very talented.
This is an Equals song! The Clash covered it.
its not about playing fancy solos. This is real creative and melodic music. I can see a lot of new order influence. This is really great. Cool guy.
I think New Order was heavily influenced by the Clash. Fortunate enough to have seen both bands a few times live.
This Is A The Clash Cover
@@wiltorres9318 the clash covered it from THE EQUALS. (EDDY GRANT sang that song with them).
Is it weird I get a little emotional watching this video? Just in total awe watching him!
his greatest trick is not making a joke about how awkward it is waiting for a loop-musician to add more layers
This is worthy of a double thumbs up!!!
I second that
I love Fred he's the man
Fred Armisen is fucking genius.
"If you really wanna show everyone how well you're doin', YA GOTTA GET YASEF SOME MAHBLE COLLUUMMSSS!"
Mlepnos singing about how he's being harassed by the 99th Precinct.
So much talent and he makes it look so easy
I’m learning to play guitar and my favorite band is the clash so I wanted to see someone play this song and found Fred armisen awesome
This might be the best thing I've ever seen and heard.
Yet another reason to love Fred
This guy is everything that my timing isn't! Bravo man!!! Inspiring!
I see Fred doing punk, I click like. Then I click play
When I see your comments I press like and then I agree with you
Amazing! Brings Back memories... Cops everywhere these days... Stay safe People.
This is so awesome to see the song idea come together one section at a time
@Fred_Armisen, the new bandleader for Late Night with Seth Myers (@LateNightSeth). Congrats, Fred! You're gonna rock it!
Impressed ..New fan of Fred Armisen..I really did throw away my TV for decades.
Rock On, Fred! That was great, man!
This guy...he just keeps surprising me.
Great cover of The Equals classic!
My goodness that soft, strong and beautiful voice. I could watch and listen to you over and over.♾
Look up Fred's band that he was in in the 90's they were called Trenchmouth
They were gonna be Fugazi sized for a little bit and then hey we’re gonna get RHCP sized.
talented guy!
Love this guy.
We need to see more of this especially in shows like portlandia
This is how the edge records every single song XD
Wow, he covered the Equals, awesome!!!
This is AWESOME!!!!
The Clash
THE ONLY BAND THAT MATTERS!!!!
✊❤️❤️✊
We love and miss you Joe!!!
RIP JOE!! 😢❤️❤️😢
WELL DONE FRED!! ✊❤️❤️✊
Just like Fred’s shirt says in the opening of SNL...”Thank You Joe Strummer!”
Love The Clash but this sounds more like the original 1967 Equals version . The Clash sped it up.
Yeah this wasn't a Clash original. If you were a Clash fan, you'd actually know that.
@@TheMusicalElitist Yes, I do know they didn’t originally write it.
@@BrianAchterberg928liar
Better than I expected
I just fell in love
I fuckin love this guy.
he just became my new idol, comedian, rock star, panny dropper
This is what "Star Power" looks like, great job FRED!

Love the talent of this guy!
Whoa, I'm so glad I found this!
Police on my back and Washington bullets Two best on Sandinista!
Police On My Back resonates now more than ever.
One of my favorites covering one of my very favorites .
One of the most influential bands ever, the Equals.
Man, of many talents, and a lover of punk, see what you can become if you never give up.
He's really talented. Wish he did more punk stuff
Checkout Trenchmouth, his 90s band
Ian Rubbish and Crisis of Conformity, which were both half satire, half homage to punk.
@@kevinkibble8342 Thanks for letting me know about Crisis of Conformity, good stuff!
@@DarthMapz Thanks Mapz182yo. Sorry for the delayed reply. Trench mouth are good too!
I love you Fred!!!! haha, you are the best!
He’s an angel 👼
Get it Fred! This is great.
What a great talent. The guy could've been a professional musician, as well as actor and comic. Good dude.
Wow, the layering on that is incredible
This is pretty good. Thanks for sharing.
Fred is funny AND talented. Thanks for sharing, Fred!
legend
Shout out to the Equals
Love this. Brings back good memories.
Fred was an accomplished drummer before he auditioned for SNL.
I visited other music once a looong time ago. It was a very nice experience. I bought joia by Caetano veloso. Great disc five out of five stars. And probably the most other music piece I could have purchased that day. Nice job here by Fred.
Right on!! Always love when he sings!!
.. and that build at the end🎯
That was great!
Rock it man!
I know you will!
I love this and I love Fred.
