	Musicians - Terry Chimes

Terry Chimes (also known as Tory Crimes) (born January 25, 1955 in London) was the original drummer of punk rock group The Clash. He originally played with them from July 1976 to May 1977 and again from May 1982 to May 1983. He briefly toured with Black Sabbath in November and December of 1987, and May 1988.

The Clash

Terry Chimes was a member of the legendary proto-punk band London SS, which also featured Mick Jones and Paul Simonon who, with Chimes, would team up with Joe Strummer and Keith Levene to form The Clash.

Keith Levene left the band early on and Chimes left the band but was brought back to record the bands' selft-titled debut album, The Clash. He was replaced by Nicky 'Topper' Headon.

In 1982 Topper was fired from the band for his drug problems and Chimes was asked to rejoin for a U.S. tour supporting The Who and the following UK tour.

Other Bands

After leaving The Clash, Terry drummed in bands including Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers briefly in 1977, Generation X from 1979 to 1980, Hanoi Rocks in 1985 and Black Sabbath on their Eternal Idol Tour in 1987/88.

Today

He now practices as a chiropractor, and has been doing so since 1994.
