Stop going on about drummers vs guitarists -- you yanks dont get it - this is a band bar none - we dont do this in the UK - we dont turn up to a gig and compare artists - we celebrate a band.

Performed for 'Concerts for the People of Kampuchea'. I remember flipping out over this version of Armagideon Time - Joe's passion, his howling, his earnestness, and the snarly "Use a Calculator!!' towards the end in response to the statement 'A lot of people won't get no supper tonight....'. The Clash ranking among the top 3 greatest influences in my life. Loved that I got to see them in concert twice. RIP Joe

I loved their reggae stuff like One More Time more than their other stuff, Armagideon Time was my favourite Clash Song. The riddim is used in a lot of reggae songs. It’s called The Real Rock riddim. First version is Real Rock by Sound Dimension in 1968. The producer was the legendary Coxsone Dodd. Still owe The Clash, cause they made me listen to dub and reggae. ❤

Hearing Strummer mangle the lyrics in the first verse reminds me of how on our way to see the Clash play we used to love speculating what songs they would choose and what lyrics Joe Strummer would get badly wrong. I know I am biased when I say this but they really did live up to their reputation as one of the best ever live bands.

This is one my fave Clash songs I used to play it over and over on parents 'record player'. It was B side to London Calling but far superior in my view.

Earl. I just want to point out two things. (1) This is a straight up reggae song with no discernible rock and roll in it. (2) Specifically, the Clash are performing their cover of the original Armageddon Time reggae song that was first recorded by Willie William. This song was written by Wilbert Keith Williams, Jackie Mittoo and Clement "Sir Coxsone" Dodd. Dodd is the founder of the famous Studio One in Kingston, Jamaica, where the Wailers with Bob Marley, first auditioned.
