Chimes, Terry Biography

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' self-titled debut album, The Clash. He was replaced by 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. He was inducted into in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame when The Clash was enshrined in 2003, and in fact served as the band's spokesperson at the induction ceremony. However, he did not make the cut of inducted members when Black Sabbath was enshrined in 2006.
