The Clash without Jones and Headon were good but nowhere near as good . Former Clash roadie Johnny Green went to a show and Strummer remarked that he was wearing a `crap suit` . Green replied `it`s not as crap as your band ` .Strummer just said `i know`. as you know doubt know he regretted sacking Topper and Mick . I reckon they (the classic line up ) could have made at least another one or maybe even two credible albums.

From The Clash to Combat Rock was a short time span ,i don`t think any groups could do that now. They were a 24 hour group . They had it all ,the songs the look the commitment.

Well... yeah... he is sort of putting out his punk persona. But in reality you cannot make great songs and big hits to it as well, such as The Guns of Brixton or London Calling without any musical talent or will to do it. There were tens of thousands punk bands in the 70s, 80s but very few made such commercial success or popularity as the Clash. Also the punks had that attitude that it wasn't about the music at all, well it really was beacuse as soon as their music faded out of the youth, their influence and short seighted philosophies faded away as well, or morphed into sonething else.

@renatokobashigawa70252 ай бұрын
I think this is a very relevant point today, not by the point itself, but by its existence since music became an industry. Saying that the music of today is simplistic, bad or too commercial is ignoring that music has always been simplistic, bad and too commercial. Even at that time Joe Strummer was pointing out overproduction as an issue with artists, not caring much about live performances. It has always been this way, but it seems that music from yesterday was better due to pure survival bias. Simply put, bad music has always been made. It's just been washed away with time, along with being less noticeable because music wasn't as accessible as it is today.

Very accurate comment. End of the day. It’s all show business. If your music makes people want to dance, (Whatever the lyrical content is), kids will dance. Think you’ve got political power in your music? You’re a dreamer.

I dearly love Joe Strummer and The Clash, but almost every interview around Cut The Crap time he comes out with so many David Brent from The Office type statements. The other guys in the band, particularly Nick Sheppard, actually look a bit embarrassed. I get the impression even Joe didn't believe a lot of what he was saying around this time.
