Early life [edit]

Strummer was built-in John Graham Mellor in Ankara, Turkey on 21 August 1952, the son of a Scottish mother and English begetter. His female parent, Anna Mackenzie (1915–1986), was the daughter of a crofter and was born and raised in Bonar Bridge; she later became a nurse. His father, Ronald Ralph Mellor MBE (1916–1984), was born in the Indian city of Lucknow due to his own begetter's job as a railway official in India, and became a clerical officer who afterwards attained the rank of second secretarial assistant in the foreign service.^[2] Through his father, Strummer had an Armenian great-grandfather and a German-Jewish not bad-grandmother.^[3] At the age of 9, Strummer and his 10-twelvemonth-erstwhile brother David began boarding at the City of London Freemen's School in Surrey, and rarely saw their parents during the next seven years. He later said, "[A]t the age of nine I had to say good-cheerio to them because they went abroad to Africa or something. I went to boarding school and only saw them once a year after that – the Government paid for me to see my parents in one case a yr. I was left on my own, and went to this school where thick rich people sent their thick rich kids. Some other perk of my father's job – it was a job with a lot of perks – all the fees were paid past the Regime."^[4]

Strummer adult a love of rock music listening to records by Little Richard, the Beach Boys and Woody Guthrie.^[5] Strummer would even go past the nickname "Woody" for a few years.^[6] He would later refer to the Beach Boys as "the reason [he] played music".^[7] Past 1970, his brother had become estranged from the family. His suicide in July of that yr greatly afflicted Strummer, as did having to identify his body afterward it had lain undiscovered for three days.^[viii] Strummer said, "[David] was a twelvemonth older than me. Funnily enough, you lot know, he was a Nazi. He was a member of the National Front. He was into the occult and he used to have these deaths-heads and cross-basic all over everything. He didn't like to talk to everyone, and I think suicide was the but way out for him. What else could he accept done[?]"^[iv]

Afterward finishing his time at City of London Freemen's School in 1970, Strummer moved on to the Central School of Art and Design in London,^[9] where he briefly considered condign a professional person cartoonist and completed a one-twelvemonth foundation course.^[10] During this time, he shared a flat in Palmers Green with friends Clive Timperley and Tymon Dogg. He said, "I bought a ukulele. No kidding. I saved some money, £ane.99 I call back, and bought information technology down Shaftesbury Artery. And then the guy I was busking with taught me to play 'Johnny B. Goode'. [...] I was on my own for the beginning time with this ukulele and 'Johnny B. Goode'. And that'due south how I started."^[4]

In 1973, Strummer moved to Newport, South Wales. He did not study at Newport Higher of Art, simply met up with higher musicians at the students' union in Stow Hill and became the vocaliser for Flaming Youth before renaming the band the Vultures.^[six] The Vultures included three former members of Rip Off Park Rock & Coil Allstars, the original higher band co-founded by Terry Earl Taylor. For the side by side year, Strummer was the band's role-time singer and rhythm guitarist. During this time, he also worked as a gravedigger in St Woolos Cemetery.^{[xi] [12]} Whilst in Newport, he wrote and recorded on an quondam reel-to-reel tape recorder "Crumby Bum Blues", which was after used in Julien Temple's 2007 moving-picture show Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten. In 1974, the band fell autonomously and Strummer moved back to London, where he met up once more with Dogg. He was a street performer for a while and so decided to grade another band with his roommates called the 101ers,^[1] named later the accost of their squat at 101 Walterton Road in Maida Vale.^{[6] [13]} The band played many gigs in London pubs, performing covers of pop American R&B and dejection songs. During this catamenia Strummer worked a number of occasional temporary jobs to fund the purchase of musical equipment, including time spent as a Gardener in Hyde Park "to become the money for the guitar".^[14]

In 1975, he stopped calling himself Woody Mellor and adopted the stage name Joe Strummer, afterwards insisting that his friends call him by that name. The surname "Strummer" obviously referred to his role every bit rhythm guitarist in a cocky-deprecating way. Strummer was the atomic number 82 singer of the 101ers and began to write original songs for the group. One vocal he wrote was inspired by the Slits' drummer Palmolive, who was his girlfriend at the fourth dimension. The grouping liked the song "Keys to Your Heart", which they picked as their first single.^[4]

Career [edit]

The Clash (1976–1986) [edit]

On 3 Apr 1976, the and then-unknown Sexual activity Pistols opened for the 101ers at a venue called the Nashville Rooms in London, and Strummer was impressed past them.^[one] Sometime after the show, Strummer was approached by Bernie Rhodes and Mick Jones. Jones was from the band London SS and wanted Strummer to join as lead vocalist. Strummer agreed to leave the 101ers and join Jones, bassist Paul Simonon, drummer Terry Chimes and guitarist Keith Levene.^[13] The band was named the Clash by Simonon and fabricated their debut on 4 July 1976 in Sheffield, opening for the Sex Pistols at the Black Swan (also known as the Mucky Duck, now known as the Boardwalk).^[xiii] On 25 January 1977, the band signed with CBS Records as a three-piece after Levene was fired from the ring and Chimes quit. Topper Headon after became the band'southward full-fourth dimension drummer.

This incident shocked Strummer, and had a lasting personal bear on on him. Strummer said, "Information technology was a watershed—violence had really controlled me for once". He determined never again to fight violence with violence.^[8]

Earlier the album Gainsay Rock was released in 1982, Strummer went into hiding and the band's management said that he had "disappeared". Bernie Rhodes, the ring'due south manager, pressured Joe to do and so because tickets were selling slowly for the Scottish leg of an upcoming tour.^[8] It was planned for Strummer to travel, in hush-hush, to Texas and stay with his friend, musician Joe Ely. Uneasy with his determination, Strummer instead decided to genuinely disappear and "dicked around" in France. During this fourth dimension, Strummer ran the Paris Marathon in April 1982. He claimed his grooming regimen consisted of 10 pints of beer the night before the race. For this period of fourth dimension, Joe's whereabouts were a mystery not only to the public, but to the band's management equally well. Joe said later on that this was a huge mistake and that you "have to have some regrets". This was in spite of the popular success of the single "Rock the Casbah". During this time, band members began to argue frequently, and with tensions high, the group began to autumn apart.^[13]

In September 1983, Strummer issued the infamous "Clash Communique", and fired Mick Jones.^[thirteen] Topper Headon had earlier been kicked out of the ring because of his heroin addiction, and Terry Chimes was brought back temporarily to fill his place until the permanent replacement, Pete Howard, could be found. This left the band with but two of its original members, Strummer and Simonon. Rhodes persuaded Strummer to carry on, adding two new guitarists.^[thirteen] Under this lineup, they released the album Cut the Crap in 1985. The album was panned by fans and critics alike and Strummer disbanded the Clash.

At the band'southward induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Disharmonism was said to be "considered one of the nearly overtly political, explosive and exciting bands in rock and roll history".^[15]

Joe wrote all the tabs in his meticulously neat mitt on a long piece of newspaper which he taped to the top of the guitar so he could glance down occasionally when he was onstage." This bout would be the offset of several collaborations with the band.

In 1989, Strummer appeared in Jim Jarmusch's film Mystery Train as a drunken, brusque-tempered drifter named Johnny (whom most characters refer to every bit Elvis, much to Johnny's dismay).

Off-phase, he's the Clash member with the everyman profile.

Prior to using any Telecaster oriented guitar, before buying his 1966 model, he used every bit main guitars a Gretsch White Falcon and a 1964 Hofner Verithin.^[59] For amplification Strummer was known to use amplifiers such as a Roland Jazz Chorus, a Selmer Bassman while he was in the 101ers, a Phonation AC30 and various Marshall amplifiers,^[lx] merely his principal amplifier was a Music Man Hard disk 212,150.^[61] Strummer commented on his choice of amplifier with "I don't accept time to search for those old Fender tube amps. The Music Man is the closest thing to that sound I've institute" and that the "plastic motif on the front is repulsive."^[62]
