The Clash’s Paul Simonon has stated that he wouldn’t have reunited the band for £1million.The iconic punk bassist has explained that while the members were contemplating a reunion in the ‘90s – after parting ways in 1986 – there were numerous reasons why the prospect never materialised, including his feud with bandmate Mick Jones.“There was talk between me, Joe [Strummer], Mick and Mick’s manager, Gary Kurfirst, who was looking after Mick in B.A.D. But it didn’t happen for lots of reasons,” he explained to MOJO.
“I was getting pissed off with Mick.”He continued, explaining how even the financial incentive to reform wasn’t enough for him to pursue the idea at the time: “I said, ‘I don’t want to do it.’ Mick said, ‘Why not? You’ll get a million pounds.’ That pissed me off even more. So I said, ‘I don’t want a fucking million pounds.’”“I think he was a bit shocked that I wasn’t keen on the idea,” he added.
“And I don’t think Joe would have really wanted to do it either. For me, The Clash story was over.”While the punk veterans decided against the decision to reform back in the ‘90s, the opportunity did arise again shortly after, when they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in January 2003 – a month after the death of the guitarist in December 2002.Once again, the band declined the offer to reunite for the event and, in 2013, the bassist stated that he believed the reformation would have hindered their legacy.
“It’s a better story at the end of the day that we didn’t get back together… It seems like we would have squandered what we’d achieved by reforming,” he told Billboard at the time.“Why do people get together? Why do bands reform? Oh, they’re good mates. Well, that’s nice.
