Corrections to the entry written by Jimmy Jazz. In which "Jimmy" made some egregious mistakes.
1. Nicky "Topper" Headon joined the band far before the release of Give 'Em Enough Rope. He is credited on almost half the songs on The Clash as the drummer. This album was released in 1977 and Give 'Em Enough Rope was released in 1978, so obviously, he was there almost a year before.
2. Topper Headon did not quit because Joe and Paul kicked him out. He was kicked out because of a heroin addiction. It had nothing to do with the sacking of Mick Jones.
3. Mick Jones had already formed Big Audio Dynamite before he was kicked out of the Clash.
4. People do know what happened to Topper Headon after he left the Clash. He became a taxi driver briefly, went to jail for 15 months on a heroin supplying charge, played a few gigs, and cleaned up his act and stopped using heroin. He also appeared in several documentaries on the Clash and Joe Strummer like Westway to the World, London Calling Studio Footage, and The Future is Unwritten.
Please get your facts straight Jimy Jazz especially when talking about one of the most influential and best punk band of all time.

Get the the clash mug.One day, in the late-mid 70s, God decided that he had given the 20th century enough shit with 2 world wars and so he made it up by inventing Punk rock. Sadly, one of the first, and most famous bands (The Sex Pistols), were acting like complete dicks (who happend to amke brilliant yet simple music). God decided to take things into his own hands and created The Clash. This band were the greatest band of the time and are most probably the greatest band ever. The trancended the punk lebel and fused their music with jazz, dub,rap and regae, but never failed to make their music brilliant.
If The Clash weren't gods themselves, they were certainly blessed by the Almighty One.
Singer Joe Strummer died just before Christmas 2002. His final album was almost complete, it was released the next year and is absoultely brilliant. It is called Streetcore and is on hellcat records.

Get the Clit Clash mug.A first-rate punk band who are the epitome of what British music really is.
Avril Lavigne is not punk. Good Charlotte is not punk. Blink 182 is not punk. Most people these days have no idea what real punk is.If you want you to know what real punk and what real good music is, tune in to The Clash.

'London Calling, 'White Riot', 'Rock the Casbah'- just a few of the brilliant tracks by The Clash. Stop listening to all these new horrid superficial pieces-of-shit bands and listen to music for a change.
