The Clash - Hateful [LIVE]

Hateful by The Clash performed by Death or Glory - Tribute to The Clash at Strummercamp Festival 2024 For bookings and tour dates go to clashtributeband.com A song that featured on our very first setlist, Hateful is a strong composition that we think is very underrated in The Clash’s vast back cataloged. That’s why we played it early. It’s one we can only really pull off thanks to having Matt on melodica. We’ve played it 9 times in total but The Clash only played it live 3 times, 5 months before London Calling was released and then never played it again. Clearly a song about drugs (with strong links to the death of Sid Vicious who had been in The Clash’s entourage before he joined The Sex Pistols), Joe Strummer once said “all this ‘junkie he’s so out of it’ rock & roll stuff doesn’t appeal to me at all” around the time of its release which strongly suggests Hateful is a song lamenting hard drug use, not celebrating it. In Joe’s notebook it was titled “H is for Hateful”, a clear reference to heroin and the songs final verse depicts a heroin addict slowing losing functionality. The call and response vocals and the fast Bo Diddley rhythm put the listener in a whirlwind-frenzy. It’s like a reel of film flicking before your eyes. The production from Bill Price & Guy Steven’s augment this. The whole album is so cinematic but Hateful feels like a cornerstone of that statement. After they toured with Bo Diddley on the Pearl Harbour Tour in 1979, The Clash returned to London inspired and jammed many Bo Diddley covers including Mona & Roadrunner before deciding to try and write a song of their own in that iconic rhythmic style - and Hateful was born. In 2002, Joe Strummer described Bo Diddley as his all time hero and here we are playing it late in our set at Strummercamp Festiva back in May.
