5.0 out of 5 stars Last Gang Rides Again!, 17 Dec 2003
By Mel Ranchero (Hole In The Wall) - See all my reviews
Glad to see this definitive Clash biog back and updated one more time. Always the first reference tome to be consulted for any overview article on the band, it now includes some great new info about Joe Strummer's childhood and last years.

If you were there at the time, it'll take you right back there. If you weren't, it'll make you feel you were.

3.0 out of 5 stars Deep and yet so superficial, 10 Aug 2005
By A Customer
Thsi book is great and it really is! It is an intense piece of research and many hours of meticulously searching to uncover the myth of The Clash. It will give you loads of information and great details about the members and you will get an interesting view into the world of The Clash from the perspective of an outsider.
However the one major flaw of this book is the fact that not one of the members have participated in the making of this book by giving interviews or nothing. Therefore you never get that intimate feel that Johhny Green or Kris Needs's books will give you. This is a study book about The Clash and lack the personal perspective of those truly involved.
But still worth the read if you are a massive fan.

4.0 out of 5 stars Detailed but lacking, 29 Mar 2006
This review is from: The "Clash": Return of the Last Gang in Town (Paperback)
As a Clash fan who has read both editions of Gray's opus (Last Gang in Town being the first), I think I prefer the first because it offers a broader sweep of the band and the context in which they existed. This revised edition is essential reading for diehard fans - every song, every gig (almost!) is detailed to the point of obsession, which will delight anoraks, but it lacks the intimate touch. There's a lot on the early background of the various members, but little on the "where are they now" front... The book seems to finish rather abruptly, with only the briefest update on the Clash since the split. And, being a gossipy type, it would have been interesting to have more on their personal lives. It's a hefty read for anyone but probably the most authoritative and objective account of the most influential band of the modern era. Perhaps the two books would have worked better as two separate editions, with the second as a sequel, as there is so much material. Some people around the Clash were only touched on briefly, when they were clearly pivotal in the Clash entourage, so Johnny Green's biog is an essential companion, for example.
