Anyway, I agree with everything written here and couldn't put it better myself, apart from the sympathy for Vince bit. Maybe at one stage before I knew what a 24 carat cunt he is, that ship has long since sailed.

We all know they should have been called Clash III anyways, since the Rob Harper version of the band was the only REAL clash.

Rob's story is crazy. Played with Mark Knopfler pre Dire Straits played with William Broad pre Billy Idol played in The Marauders pre UK Subs. Then joined those losers The Clash.

I actually think clash II is respectful. This was a lineup that was really doing its own thing and lets them be judged on their own merits. It's unabashed historical revisionism, but a revisionism that suits the purpose, I think.

Their own thing would be a band not playing all the old songs then. Their own thing would be a band who got to record their album. They were anything but their own thing. Their own thing would be using a name that wasn't "The Clash".

I've always felt sorry for Nick and Vince. They were on a hiding to nothing. Pete was already in the band with Mick. They were treated just like hired hands and deserved better. However they joined a band called The Clash. I find Clash II disrespectful like they are not really worthy of being in The Clash. Cut the Crap is an absolute abortion of a record for such a top tier band.
They should've got their chance to play their songs the way they wanted to be heard.

Gerald did a beautiful job recreating CtC however it writes them out of the album all over again.

Clash II seems to diminish what they were doing like this isn't actually "The Clash".

Well it was The Clash just different. I accept that totally. Could these new guys ever match what went before? Tall order for anyone I think.

Seeing them in Brixton left me feeling positive like there was some real possibilities of getting back to some good times. I'm a huge Mick fan and I make no apologies for that but The Clash had to continue but when that album finally dropped I was stunned.

I got to see them in 84, the only chance I got to see The Clash live, and I'm forever grateful for that. And I applaud the passion with which people are apparently championing this era of the band on Facebook or wherever, but it's not for me. Anyway, I agree with everything written here and couldn't put it better myself, apart from the sympathy for Vince bit.

Early version of Sympathy for the Devil. I'm talking of the the period Vince was in the band not his bat shit throat slashing racist cry baby period.

Ah yeah, I just try to forget there was a time NF Vince might have been worthy of those kind of feelings or that he once wrote a vaguely interesting and amusing book.

If you're on FB, you should definitely join up. There's a mind-blasting array of materials up there and there's a metric ton to come.

'84 video is coming, I can feel it in my bones. It's just a matter of time now.
