One of my favorite bands of all time. RIP Joe.

I saw the Clash at a one-off gig at Rafters Manchester in 1978. Joe had apparently gone down with a throat infection and the band had postponed an earlier concert the day before. Myself and a few friends shared a few drinks with him and the band before going on stage. No airs and graces with Joe as with other musicians at the time. We were all part of the same scene. Definitely a man of principle. RIP Joe Strummer.

In 78 they did the 'out on parole ' tour which i seen at Glasgow Apollo, was my first gig as a 16 year old. The Specials (the Coventry aka )and American outfit Suicide were the support. I seen both nights of their London Calling tour at the same venue. I also seen them being bundled into that police van at the first gig. ...I'll die happy 👍

That's a wonderful story. I bet it was a bash.

I saw The Clash when I was 15years old. The Clash changed my life forever on that night and truly feel helped me to become a better person. Between The Clash...The Pogues and The Mescoleros..I was fortunate to see Joe play 11 different times. For me..There is not a better front man,,such a rare and honest soul and his heart always on his sleeve. Miss You Joe..and just want you to know what a blessing you are for me..and I have no doubt millions of others. Thank You For All You Shared and With All The Heart and Sincerity that you wore on Your Sleeve. An Amazing Artist and A Beautiful Soul!! Rip Joe, and from every corner of my heart-Thamk You.

I had the pleasure of seeing Joe perform in Washington DC a month after 9/11. He was my favorite artist of all time. R.I.P. Joe - Punk Rock Warlord

So take your knight in shinning armor act on the road, because I got bad news for you, there's women out there that need their teeth knocked out of their heads as much as anyone else, and the reason they skate through life and get away with what they do is because of idiots like you.

If it hasn't already been noted by another commenter(s), his earlier band that he was in before forming The Clash was called The 101ers -- some songs that appeared on their "Eglin Avenue" album would get rerecorded onto subsequent Clash albums ("Jail Guitar Doors" being one such track, I believe)

Yes! That's what I'm hoping for. Obviously I have to leave a lot of important things out, but maybe I'll remind someone about a band or artist they haven't listened to in a while.

He also spent time in Mexico 🇲🇽 thats why in the song , "Should I Stay or Should I Go," he sings the lyrics," should I stay or should I go, " in Spanish.

John was a diplomat's son, so he traveled a lot and got immersed into many different Cultures which influenced his Sensitivity. Seen him in '78 orpheum Boston, Great Show on acid. He F'. .. up when he Fired Mick tho! Beach boys

One of the greatest musicians ever

I never knew that he was born in Turkey. In the 1990s I was the bassist of a band that used to cover a few tunes by the Clash.
