Janie Jones - Against Me! covers The Clash

[@timothythomson719]

Freaking awesome! Im 53 now and this was one of the first cassette tapes I ever bought in probably 1984. The Clash, the Jam, Pistols, so much spirit and great tunes. Super tight performance! Hello from Canada. 👋👋🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@jonathansteadman7935]

I lived not far from where the Clash, Cook and Jonesy from the Sex Pistols, and the Who, Shepherds Bush London W12 started from. My American mate knew the Clash and one day we bumped into Joe Strummer walking down Holland Park Avenue. Joe said Hey Pete to my mate, and Pete introduced me to Joe. Very cool, down to earth guy, this was about 1990. Great seeing younger guys get into bands like the Clash and the Jam. Seen both those bands on each tour from '79 to 82. The energy of both those bands was intense, and I've not seen it much since those days. Saw the Damned 3 times during that period and they were so loud my ears would ring the next day. No phones filming, just great times and great energy. You guys nailed it , nice one 👍

[@ramones53rd3rd]

I love the Clash, I love Against Me! I approve.

[@ScaryPunkGhost]

Holy shit, Laura's voice is so different.

[@hawkwind7by7]

Never heard of this band, will check out though, superb cover guys, my fav band too, am 63,saw them twice, still massively relevent today , always hard to play Topper " s stuff, such an underated drummer , kit man did well , as with guitars n bass , all on point , fine singing ,maybe a little more menace in the delivery ,all in all,,,, banging, like to see you cover Complete Control

[@JoesMusicandMemes]

Against Me! is awesome. I highly recommend their album Searching For a Former Clarity.

[@andywesterman8362]

That was unbelievable, loved it.

[@bif3578]

Wow, they really do the song justice--nice! And I dig the little "Tommy Gun" coda at the end.

[@silasjamal1610]

Punk band covers a punk song, who thought lol, a lot of the a.v club covers was bands doing songs outside of their genre which I get and some were surprisingly good, but then there was this that absolutely kicked ass and I like this version as much as the original clash version

[@samsara3694]

Hadnt picked that up before you mentioned! But yeh, neat!

[@SCUNDY100]

met the clash at thier sound check leicester demontfort hall 78 ,have played this song in my set as an encore nice change to see american kid stry to sing with a britsh accent he he does my old punk rock heart good

[@Yorksbloke]

Love The Clash, love this song. Sharleen Spiteri of Texas used to use this as her pseudonym when signing into hotels

[@gastoncaballero2802]

Excelente, The Clash, la unica banda que importa!!!!!!

[@markm3988]

Saw them play this live at a Chicago show around this time. Very cool.

[@2point2]

top quality cover.

[@DavidS94938]

Simply great!

[@user-ky3qi4xl8s]

i like their clash.

[@jessem138]

Looks like AV Club removed most of their AV Undercover series from their channel.

[@SvenGeorgiev]

I was a huge Against Me Fan and a huge Clash Fan. And I never knew about this!

[@MM-of1vf]

about what ? JJ ?

[@SvenGeorgiev]

@@MM-of1vf that Against Me had ever played a Clash Cover. I love Janie Jones but its weird to hear Tom sing this as Joe Strummer sang pretty clearly whereas Tom (when he was still Tom) had this screamo way of singing (see the first three AM records). But still great. Those were the days...Any recommendation as to a new Against Me on the horizon?

[@MM-of1vf]

@@SvenGeorgiev No. I found this video while searching for JJ covers. For me, the best cover is by the band Banana Split, as I already wrote in the comment below this one. Female voice, excellent as well as the cover of the song itself.

[@josephduffy6455]

Excellent cover lads

[@SombraPiloto]

They forgot to turn the mic on for James...

[@btait6770]

Loved the little Tommy gun on the end

[@JoaoJuniorLobo-eq2jg]

[@ginosanti4004]

That’s so great! 👏👍🏼👍🏼

[@carlochianucci5221]

Great, great, great work!!! ❤

[@rubenxmedina8990]

It's crazy that the drummer, jay weinberg, is in Slipknot now. Wild

[@bluebettle]

Ruben X Medina to be fair, Slipknot has 30,000 drummers so it’s statistically very probable

[@itsimminent]

Still not the biggest transition from them to now... ba dum tiss

[@georgexen]

Nailed it

[@user-gp1rh8rw2l]

Smashed it❤

[@warrenermish1454]

Amazing

[@etilico7207]

Awesome❤

[@allstarlord9110]

An amazing punk band covers another amazing punk bad, nice

[@btait6770]

Smashed it 👍

[@bluebettle]

The Clash might be “The only band that matters,” but to me Against Me! is “The only punk band that matters”

[@allstarlord9110]

The Clash were a punk bank though

[@basssnobnj]

You know The Clash was a punk band, right?

[@63mk1]

Badass.

[@felicelagreca2352]

Suonata bene, con il ritmo e la passione giusta.

[@peterfrawley8770]

Rocks!

[@dongroh8904]

And oh ya, watch "Mosh Pitt Kitties" here on KZbin!!!

[@andresfelipe9612]

I think you guys kick ass.

[@chrisromines4477]

Not gonna lie …. This was arguably better than the original lol😂

[@brhf9]

i miss the good ol days of the AV Club...

[@hazzboytv6568]

This drummer is pretty good, he should join Slipknot or something

[@johkym]

Enjoyed that chaps

[@MarcioSilva-ssiillvvaa]

Thumbs up!

[@no-0n358]

Request: can you cover X-ray spex - Oh! Bondage up yours!

[@cavanking]

SUPER FUCKING COVER LADS 💪💪💪

[@davidskeen4000]

Way to be !

[@Charlies247]

Tidy!

[@dongroh8904]

Excellent cover guys! One mighjt say you did it better than The Clash.... but on the grave of Joe Strummer, it can't be me. (Sorry)

[@nanoseconds79]

sick cover! gonna miss jay

[@couchieedward9883]

What's the name of the intro song?

[@stack12190]

Huh.....never realized that was Jay Weinberg on drums.

[@NinjaTylerBlack]

He was a dick

[@SombraPiloto]

@@NinjaTylerBlack Spoiled brat. So glad he quit, now we have Drum God Atom!

[@devilsforkdigital1490]

Bit slow, otherwise good cover.

[@BoudicaJ]

Christ

[@gavinrogers1968]

Vocals are terrible

[@killbot_factory]

wow this is terrible

[@samsara3694]

As somebody who had been to 10 Clash gigs - and who thinks the Clash were the best - at least they play it in tune as well as with vigour, something the Clash rarely did when live.

[@MM-of1vf]

try to find same song/cover banana split band
