It is one of the greatest songs ever. I first discovered The Clash when I was 14 back in 1980. They moved me like nothing else. I was nuts about The Danmed and The Sex Pistols but nothing ever has hit me so hard as the first time I heard Clash. I remember getting a new pair of headphones from my Mom over this band. She couldn't understand the lyrics(no could I ) and didn't want to. I would blast Complete Contol into my ears and bounce around my room. I had to go buy the sheet music to learn the lyrics. Their accents were so strong it was Hell trying to figure the words out. The music itself was as powerful as the words. The Clash had way of energizing people lke nothing before. I have turned many people on to them over the years. Most were into London Calling more than The Clash LP. That is another sotry in itself. Another one of Musics most important albums was London Calling. If you've never listened to Complete Control. Do yourself a favor. BUY that song. The best punk track ever - forget it the best track ever | Reviewer: Anonymous | 1/3/09 Everything about Complete Control is perfect from the opening riff,Joe's lyrics Mick's guitar over dubs,Topper's drop out,to the front cover of the single!White Man...got close as did Stay Free but Complete Control still makes me want to smash my windows.Thanks Joe - you're still shining brightly X Gettin into the Clash | Reviewer: Jamian | 12/30/08 I just heard this song last night and I'm wild for it. This is a punk rock standard; you can hear how everyone else steals from this song. I'm really seeing the power of the Clash. Mick and Joe are absolutely amazing. I wish I knew what Joe was saying at the end, though, like the other post asked haha c-o-n control! | Reviewer: 16 Year Old Clash Fan | 5/26/08 i did, do and always will love the clash this has got to be the BEST punk song of all time. so much energy, power and great vibes. they pretty much bite the system in the ass with this song although, my favourite Clash song will lways be Atom Tan. <33 I love, i even sing it at work, which is fast food >.< <33 Rip Joe Strummer 6 years and still mourning... Best Single | Reviewer: Lizlee | 11/10/07 complete control is just simply complete genius i just actually saw the autobiography of joe strummer "The Future is Unwritten" last night and it made me realize how truely talented The Clash was. R.I.P. Joe Strummer. yes | Reviewer: wriggle | 10/22/07 as a punk all my life, i have finally come to the conclusion that this is the punk anthem. it's taken me a few years as you can tell. and i agree with all the previous comments. rip strummer Epic | Reviewer: Sophie | 8/1/07 I think this is the ultimate punk rock anthem. Also, does anyone know what joe is yelling at the end? the line before he says "that means you" and everything that follows after that, I can never understand, hehe. the clash were the best punk band ever end of. | Reviewer: bobbo lad | 7/3/07 this is one of the best songs ever. micks guitar sounding as good as ever, (well, better) and strummers voice and lyrics are top class. this blows the jam away a hundred times. sorry 'tees heathen' :P The Clash with Class | Reviewer: Tees Heathen | 5/30/07 1977 - no one was really 'into' the Sex Pistols; they were just a badge you wore to upset your parents. The real divide was between followers of the Jam and the Clash. I was and remain a Jam fanatic but this song really did it for me. It had power, drive and the sound wasn't full of holes like a string vest. My mate was as fanatical about the Clash as I the Jam, but he didn't think this was their best. Just goes to show.... best ever 7" single | Reviewer: ian jackson | 8/4/06 Complete Control is simply the Bohemian Rhapsody of Punk but not just that it's simply the greatest piece of rock music ever made. It has everything, a great intro riff fantastic atmospheric drop out in the middle and an unbelievably powerful end section played and sung with unrivalled passion. I bought the single by chance without hearing it from woolworths for 30p just after it came out in 1977 and it just blew me away and still does to this day. No other record has that staying power. I never tire if hearing it nearly 30 years later. Mick Jones' guitar is the best sounding guitar ever, the sheer power has never been equalled by anyone even Mick himself. This was the record that put the clash at the top of the league and they never bettered it nor did anyone else. They came close with white man in Hammersmith Palais but it fails on production and energy. If you like Punk or rock music this song will not fail to impress. The clash should have ruled the world on the strength of this song alone and deserve an award for it. Add Your New Review About The Song By Pages:   1    2
