Paul Simonon
extremely underrated b-ssist for the legendary british punk band, the clash.
his upbringing in brixton gave him a love for reggae which left a definite mark on some of the clash’s work, and helped produce one of their most memorable songs, “the guns of brixton”, which paul also sang on.
the youngest of the group, he was known just as much for his b-ss playing as he was for his good looks during the late 1970s and early 1980s.
immortalized on the cover of their swan-song double vinyl, london calling.
now resides in england and keeps up with his first love, painting.
everyone remembers joe strummer, and most remember mick jones, but why don’t so many remember paul simonon?
