Ua ʻike nā kānaka a pau ʻo wai ka Sex Pistols - ʻo ia ka poʻe mele mele punk rock Pelekane mua. Ma ka manawa like, ʻo The Clash ka ʻelele ʻoi loa a lanakila loa o ka pōhaku punk Pelekane like.
Mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana, ua ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hui ma ke mele, e hoʻonui ana i kā lākou pōhaku paʻa a me ka ʻōwili me ka reggae a me ka rockabilly.
Ua hoʻopōmaikaʻi ʻia ka hui me ka kūleʻa, loaʻa iā ia ʻelua mau mea kākau mele ʻokoʻa i kā lākou arsenal - ʻo Joe Strummer lāua ʻo Mick Jones. He leo maikaʻi ko nā mea mele ʻelua, a he hopena maikaʻi hoʻi i ka holomua o ka hui.
Ua hoʻonoho nui ka hui Clash iā lākou iho he poʻe kipi, he kipi. ʻO ka hopena, ua loaʻa i nā mea hoʻokani pila i nā mea pāʻani ma nā ʻaoʻao ʻelua o ka Atlantika.
ʻOiai ua lilo koke lākou i poʻe koa o ka rock and roll ma UK, ʻo ka lua wale nō i ka The Jam i kaulana.
Ua lawe ka poʻe mele i nā makahiki he nui e "haki" i ka ʻoihana hōʻikeʻike ʻAmelika. I kā lākou hana ʻana i kēia i ka makahiki 1982, ua puhi lākou i nā palapala kiʻi a pau i loko o nā mahina.
ʻAʻole i lilo ka Clash i superstar a lākou i makemake ai. Eia nō naʻe, ua makemake ka poʻe mele i ka rock and roll a me ke kūʻē.
ʻO ka moʻolelo o ka hana ʻana o The Clash
ʻO ka Clash, ka mea i hīmeni mau e pili ana i ke kipi a me ka papa hana, he mea kupanaha ke kumu pōhaku kuʻuna. ʻO Joe Strummer (John Graham Mellor) (hānau ʻia ʻAukake 21, 1952) i hoʻohana nui i kona wā kamaliʻi ma ke kula hānai.
I kona piha ʻana i kona mau makahiki he 20, ua ʻauwana wale ʻo ia i nā alanui o Lākana a ua hoʻokumu ʻo ia i kahi hui pōhaku i kapa ʻia ʻo 101's i loko o kahi pā.
Ma kahi o ka manawa like, ʻo Mick Jones (hānau ʻia ʻo 26 Iune 1955) i mua i ka hui pōhaku paʻakikī ʻo London SS. ʻAʻole like me Strummer, hele mai ʻo Jones mai kahi papa hana ma Brixton.
I kona wā ʻōpio, ua komo ʻo ia i ka pōhaku a me ka ʻōwili, i hoʻokumu ʻia ʻo London SS me ka manaʻo e hoʻopiʻi i ke kani kaumaha o nā hui e like me Mott the Hoople and the Faces.
ʻO Paul Simonon ka hoaaloha kamaliʻi o Jones (hānau ʻia ʻo Dekemaba 15, 1956) i hui pū me ka hui bassist ma 1976. Ma hope o ka hoʻolohe ʻana i ka Sex Pistols; Ua pani ʻo ia iā Tony James, a ma hope mai i hui pū me ka hui ʻo Sigue Sigue Sputnik.
Ma hope o ka hele ʻana i kahi hana ola a ka Sex Pistols i ka ʻaha mele, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Joe Strummer i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 1976 e hoʻopau i ka 101's e ʻimi i kahi kuhikuhi mele hou a paʻakikī.
Ua haʻalele ʻo ia i ka hui ma mua koke o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o kā lākou Keys to Your Heart. Me ka mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Keith Levene, ua komo ʻo Strummer i ka London SS i hoʻokumu hou ʻia, i kapa hou ʻia ʻo The Clash.
Hoʻomaka mua o The Clash
Ua pāʻani ka Clash i kā lākou hōʻike mua i ke kauwela o 1976 i ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka Sex Pistols ma Lākana. Ua haʻalele ʻo Levine i ka hui ma hope koke o ka hoʻomaka.
Ma hope koke iho, ua hoʻomaka ka hui i kā lākou huakaʻi mua. ʻO ka Anarchy Tour Pistols, i hoʻomaka i ka hopena o 1976, he ʻekolu wale nō ʻaha mele.
Eia naʻe, i loko o ia manawa pōkole, hiki i ka hui ke hoʻopau i kā lākou ʻaelike mua ma Pepeluali 1977 me ka hui Pelekane ʻo CBS.
Ua hoʻopaʻa ka hui i kā lākou album mua i nā hopena pule ʻekolu. I ka pau ʻana o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana, ua haʻalele ʻo Terry Chimes i ka hui a ua hui ʻo Topper Headon i ka hui ma ke ʻano he pahu pahu.
I ka pūnāwai, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka mele mele mua loa a ka hui ʻo The Clash White Riot a me ka album mua nona iho i ka kūleʻa nui a me ke kūʻai ʻana ma UK, e piʻi ana i ka helu 12 ma nā palapala.
Ua hoʻoholo ka mahele ʻAmelika o CBS ʻaʻole kūpono ʻo The Clash no ka hoʻololi lekiō, no laila ua hoʻoholo lākou ʻaʻole e hoʻokuʻu i ka album.
Kaʻapuni Nui ʻo White Riot
ʻO ka lawe ʻana mai o ka moʻolelo i lilo i mea kūʻai maikaʻi loa i nā manawa āpau. Ma hope koke iho o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka album, ua hoʻomaka ka hui i kahi huakaʻi nui White Riot i kākoʻo ʻia e The Jam and the Buzzcocks.
ʻO ka hana nui o ka huakaʻi he ʻahamele ma London's Rainbow Theatre, kahi i kūʻai maoli ai ka hui. I ka huakaʻi White Riot, ua wehe ʻo CBS i ke mele Remote Control mai ka album ma ke ʻano he hoʻokahi. I ka pane ʻana, ua hoʻopaʻa ʻo The Clash iā Complete Control me ka reggae icon Lee Perry.
Nā pilikia me ke kānāwai
I ka makahiki 1977, ua komo ʻo Strummer lāua ʻo Jones i loko o ka hale paʻahao no nā hewa liʻiliʻi like ʻole, mai ka hana ʻino a hiki i ka ʻaihue ʻana i kahi uluna.
I kēia manawa, hopu ʻia ʻo Simonon lāua ʻo Khidon no ke kī ʻana i nā nūnū me nā mea kaua pneumatic.
Ua hoʻoikaika nuiʻia ke kiʻi o The Clash e kēia mau hanana, akā ua hoʻomaka pū ka hui e komo i nā hana kaiaulu. No ka laʻana, hoʻokani ka poʻe mele ma ka ʻaha mele ʻo Rock Against Racism.
ʻO ka mea hoʻokahi (White Man) In Hammersmith Palais, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ke kauwela o 1978, hōʻike i ka ʻike nui o ka lehulehu.
Ma hope koke iho o ka piʻi ʻana o ka mea hoʻokahi i ka helu 32, ua hoʻomaka ka Clash e hana ma kā lākou album lua. ʻO Sandy Perlman ka mea hana, ʻo Blue Öyster Cult ma mua.
Ua lawe mai ʻo Perlman iā Give 'Em Enough Rope i kahi kani maʻemaʻe akā ikaika i manaʻo ʻia e hopu i ka mākeke ʻAmelika holoʻokoʻa. ʻO ka mea pōʻino, ʻaʻole i hoʻokō ʻia ka "breakthrough" - ua piʻi ka album ma ka helu 128 ma nā palapala kiʻi US i ka pūnāwai o 1979.
ʻO ka nūhou maikaʻi, ua kaulana loa ka moʻolelo ma UK, e hoʻomaka ana ma ka piko o nā pakuhi.
E hele kākou i ka huakaʻi!
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 1979, hoʻomaka ka Clash i kā lākou huakaʻi ʻAmelika mua, ʻo Pearl Harbor '79.
I kēlā kauwela, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i ka EP wale nō o UK, ʻo The Cost of Living, kahi i hoʻokomo ʻia i kahi mana uhi o Bobby Fuller Four I Fought the Law ("I Fought the Law").
Ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i ke kauwela ma hope o The Clash in America, ua hoʻomaka ka hui i kahi huakaʻi ʻelua o US, e kiʻi ana iā Mickey Gallagher o Ian Dury & Blockheads ma ke ʻano he keyboardist.
ʻO ka huakaʻi mua a me ka lua o ka US me The Clash i hōʻike pū ʻia i nā mea pena R&B e like me Bo Diddley, Sam & Dave, Lee Dorsey a me Screamin 'Jay Hawkins, a me ka rocker ʻāina ʻo Joe Ely a me ka hui punk rockabilly ʻo Cramps. .
Ke kāhea nei ʻo Lākana
Ua hōʻike ʻia ke koho ʻana o nā mea pena kiʻi kipa ʻo The Clash i loko o ka rock 'n' roll kahiko a me kāna mau kaʻao āpau. ʻO kēia makemake ka mea hoʻoikaika ma hope o kā lākou mele mele ʻelua ʻo London Calling.
Hana ʻia e Guy Stevens, ka mea i hana mua me Mott the Hoople, ke kaena nei ka album i nā ʻano ʻano like ʻole mai ka rockabilly a me R&B i ka rock a me ka reggae.
Ua kūʻai ʻia ka album pālua ma ke kumukūʻai o hoʻokahi moʻolelo, ʻo ia hoʻi, he hopena maikaʻi i kona kaulana. Hoʻomaka ka moʻolelo ma ka helu 9 ma UK i ka hopena o 1979 a piʻi i ka helu 27 ma US i ka puna o 1980.
ʻO Sandinista!
Ua huakaʻi maikaʻi ka Clash i ka US, UK a me ʻEulopa i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 1980s.
I ke kauwela, ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui i ka Bankrobber hoʻokahi, i hoʻopaʻa pū ʻia e nā mea mele me DJ Mikey Dread. Ua manaʻo ʻia ke mele no ka poʻe hoʻolohe Dutch wale nō.
I ka hāʻule ʻana, ua koi ʻia ka hui UK o CBS e hoʻokuʻu i ka mea hoʻokahi ma muli o ke koi kaulana. Ma hope koke iho, ua huakaʻi ka hui i New York e hoʻomaka i ka hana paʻakikī a lōʻihi o ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana i ka hahai ʻana iā London Calling.
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi US EP i Nowemapa i kapa ʻia ʻo Black Market Clash. I ka mahina aʻe, ua hoʻonohonoho ʻia ka moʻolelo e ka album ʻehā o ka hui, ʻo Sandinista!, i hoʻokuʻu ʻia i ka manawa like ma US a me UK.
Ua hui pū ʻia ka hopena koʻikoʻi i ka album, me ka pane maikaʻi ʻana o ka poʻe ʻAmelika ma mua o ko lākou mau hoa Pelekane.
Eia kekahi, ua emi iki ka lehulehu o ka hui ma UK - Sandinista! ʻO ia ka moʻolelo mua a ka hui i kūʻai maikaʻi aku ma US ma mua o UK.
Ma hope o ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka hapa nui o 1981 ma ka huakaʻi, ua hoʻoholo ka Clash e hoʻopaʻa i kā lākou album ʻelima me ka mea hana Glyn Jones. He mea hana mua kēia o The Rolling Stones, The Who and Led Zeppelin.
Ua haʻalele ʻo Headon i ka hui ma hope koke o ka pau ʻana o nā kau. Ma kahi ʻōlelo paʻi, ua ʻōlelo ʻia ua haʻi aku ʻo ia i ka hui ma muli o nā ʻokoʻa politika. Ua hōʻike ʻia ma hope o ka haʻihaʻi ʻana ma muli o kāna hoʻohana nui ʻana i ka lāʻau.
Ua pani ka hui iā Headon me kā lākou mea hoʻokani pahu kahiko, ʻo Terry Chimes. Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia ka album Combat Rock i ka pūnāwai. Ua lilo ka album i album lanakila loa a The Clash.
Ua komo ʻo ia i nā palapala kiʻi UK ma ka helu 2 a paʻi i ka ʻumi kiʻekiʻe ma nā palapala kiʻi US i ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 1983 me ka hit Rock the Casbah.
I ka hāʻule ʻana o 1982, ua hoʻokani ʻo The Clash me The Who i kā lākou huakaʻi aloha.
Napoo o ka oihana holomua
ʻOiai ʻo The Clash i ko lākou kiʻekiʻe kālepa i ka makahiki 1983, ua hoʻomaka ka hui e hāʻule.
I ka pūnāwai, haʻalele ʻo Chimes i ka hui a ua pani ʻia e Pete Howard, he lālā mua o Cold Fish. I ke kauwela, ua poʻo ka hui i ka American Festival ma Kaleponi. ʻO kēia ko lākou hiʻohiʻona nui hope loa.
I Kepakemapa, ua kipaku ʻo Joe Strummer lāua ʻo Paul Simonon iā Mick Jones no ka mea "haʻalele ʻo ia i ka manaʻo kumu no ka Clash". Ua hoʻokumu ʻo Jones i ka Big Audio Dynamite i ka makahiki aʻe. I kēlā manawa, hoʻolimalima ka Clash i nā mea hoʻokani pila ʻo Vince White a me Nick Sheppard.
I ka makahiki 1984, ua mākaʻikaʻi ka hui iā ʻAmelika a me ʻEulopa, "hoʻāʻo" i ka laina hou. Ua hoʻokuʻu ka hui hou ʻo The Clash i kā lākou album mua, ʻo Cut the Crap, i Nowemapa. Ua hui ʻia ka album me nā loiloi maikaʻi ʻole a me nā kūʻai aku.
I ka hoʻomaka ʻana o 1986, ua hoʻoholo ʻo Strummer lāua ʻo Simonon e hoʻopau mau i ka hui. I kekahi mau makahiki ma hope mai, ua hoʻokumu ʻo Simonon i ka hui pōhaku ʻo Havana 3 AM. Ua hoʻokuʻu wale ʻo ia i hoʻokahi album i ka makahiki 1991, ma hope o ka hoʻokuʻu ʻia ʻana o ka album āna i manaʻo ai i ka pena.
A laila, lilo ka mea hoʻokani pila i ka makemake i ka hale kiʻiʻoniʻoni, e ʻike ʻia ana ma Alex Cox "Straight to Hell" (1986) a me "Mystery Train" na Jim Jarmusch (1989).
Ua hoʻokuʻu ʻo Strummer i ka album mele Earthquake Weather i ka makahiki 1989. Ma hope koke iho, ua hui pū ʻo ia me The Pogues ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻokani pila a me ka leo. I ka makahiki 1991, hele mālie ʻo ia i ka malu.
ka holo o ke kaulana
Ua hoʻokomo ʻia ka hui i ka Rock and Roll Hall of Fame i Nowemapa 2002 a ua hoʻolālā ʻia e hui hou. Akā naʻe, ʻaʻole i manaʻo ʻia ka hui e loaʻa ka lua. Ua make koke ʻo Strummer i ka maʻi puʻuwai congenital i ka lā 22 o Dekemaba, 2002.
I nā makahiki he ʻumi e hiki mai ana, ua ikaika ʻo Jones lāua ʻo Simonon i ke kahua mele. Ua hana ʻo Jones i nā album ʻelua no ka hui pōhaku kaulana ʻo Libertines, ʻoiai ʻo Simonon i hui pū me Blur's (Damon Albarn).
Ma 2013, ua hoʻolaha ka hui i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana i kahi papahana waihona nui i kapa ʻia ʻo Sound System. Loaʻa iā ia nā hana hou o nā album ʻelima mua o ka hui, ʻekolu mau CD hou o nā rarities, nā mele a me nā demos, a me kahi DVD.
Me ka pahu pahu, ua hoʻokuʻu ʻia kahi hui hou, The Clash Hits Back.
