Movie Reviews of Let's Rock Again
Movie Review: JOE STRUMMER "LET'S ROCK AGAIN" DVD
Summary: 4 Stars
THIS IS A GREAT DOCUMENTARY DVD OF THE LATE JOE STRUMMER, THE LEGENDARY FRONTMAN FROM THE FAMOUS PUNK BAND - THE CLASH!!! THIS DOCUMENTARY IS ABOUT JOE'S LIFE AFTER THE CLASH. IN THIS DOCUMENTARY IT COVERS THE LAST 18 MONTHS OF JOE'S LIFE. HE DIED IN 2002. JUST LIKE HE ROCKED IN THE CLASH, HE CONTINUED TO TRY AND "ROCK AGAIN" THIS TIME WITH A NEW BAND CALLED THE "MESCALEROS".
JOE CHANGED HIS NAME TO JOE STRUMMER BECAUSE, AS HE PUTS IT, HE COUNDN'T PLAY ONE GUITAR STRING AT A TIME, HE HAD TO "STRUMM" THE ENTIRE 6 STRINGS ALL AT THE SAME TIME!!! HE ALWAYS PLAYED WITH A PASSION AND PUT 150 PERCENT EFFORT INTO IT!!!
THIS BAND WAS REALLY, REALLY GOOD. THEY WERE MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THE "CLASH". THIS BAND WAS MORE "ORGANIC" AND EVEN INCLUDED FIDDLES. HOWEVER, THEY FAILED TO EVEN BREAK-EVEN ON RECORD SALES OF THEIR FIRST ALBUM. THIS PUSHED JOE TO STRIVE HARDER ON THEIR SECOND ALBUM, TO TRY AND AT LEAST GET IT TO BREAK EVEN IN SALES. HOWEVER IT WAS NOT SUCCESSFUL EITHER.
THIS DVD SHOWS JOE TRYING HIS BEST TO BE SUCCESSFUL AGAIN, AND NEVER GIVING UP, EVEN UP UNTIL THE END. IT SHOWS HIM ON THE STREET, HANDING OUT "FLYERS" TO HIS BAND'S CONCERT TO BE PERFORMED THAT NIGHT. ITS SAD THOUGH, BECAUSE MOST OF THE PEOPLE DON'T EVEN RECOGNIZE HIM. HE TRIES HIS BEST TO PROMOTE HIS SHOW, BUT THE "STREET" PEOPLE DON'T SEEM TO CARE.
THE DVD CONTAINS ABOUT 5 SONGS PERFORMED BY THE "MESCALEROS" BAND. THEY ARE REALLY, REALLY GOOD!!! ITS SAD THAT THEY DID NOT GET THE RECOGNITION THAT THEY DESERVED. ANYWAY, YOU CAN ENJOY THESE 5 SONG PERFOMANCES. AND IN THIS DVD, YOU GET TO KNOW WHAT JOE WAS LIKE DURING HIS LAST 18 MONTHS ALIVE.
THE CLASH INCLUDING JOE STRUMMER ARE INDUCTEE'S INTO THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME IN CLEVELAND, OHIO!!! JOE WAS WELL RESPECTED BY HIS PIERS AND THE ROCK & ROLL INDUSTRY. CHRISSY HYNDE OF THE PRETENDERS EVEN WROTE A SONG ABOUT JOE STRUMMER CALLED "THE BIKER". IN HER DVD "THE PRETENDERS LOOSE IN LA", SHE PERFORMS THE SONG AND DEDICATES IT TO JOE AND SAYS JOE "YOU BRING OUT THE BIKER IN ME"!!! ALSO, THE NEW ORLEANS SOUTHERN ROCK BAND, "COWBOY MOUTH" HAS A SONG CALLED "JOE STRUMMER". THEY PERFORM IT IN THEIR CONCERT DVD "THIS IS COWBOY MOUTH". (PLEASE SEE MY REVIEW OF THIS DVD).
IF YOU LOVE ROCK & ROLL AND IT'S STORY AND HISTORY, YOU SHOULD REALLY ENJOY THIS DVD, AND IN THAT CONTEXT I RECOMMMEN IT!!!
