I have always argued that the sex pistols are real ones before the arrival of the group sid. after they are transformed into something like a consumer product, losing all their authenticity
Lydon is right, schools just turn you into a robot to think what they want you to think and live how they want you to live, luckily some of us can drift away from those fascist thoughts and see the truth, viva Punk, viva Anarchy and viva The Sex Pistols!
John Lydon might seem like a genious, like "overthemountain67" wrote.
But...(there's always a but and/or a butt in the way, right?)...
the way he's acting, he's only increasing the power of the power elite, instead of the power of the people.
He's obviously FOR breaking down any and every barrier (which he said in some interview here on YT; he's against school, getting married, getting kids, etc: patterns).
The downside to it is, that the weaker the families, the stronger the elite.
further proof that Sid could play adequately.....and this footage of him jamming in Denmark St.. is immediately after he joined the group (not as strung out obviously). Luckily the majority of Sex Pistols songs consist Of A, E and D!
I don't know where people get the idea that he could'nt!
But I know where the confusion comes from
He wasn't as good as glen ok granted
But Sid's problem was heroin
He was a drastic addict
He would stone himself up right before a performance and THEN because of THAT he couldn't play the base because he was stoned off his ass.So they would turn his amp down to hide the fact he was stoned and couldn't play but people just seem to hear only the couldn't play part
its tough for people to understand Johnny's statement, I see, because most of you have already been brainwashed into living your life as someone else sees fit..
And you all now think that's normal and everything else then has to be wrong.
What if you don't want to get married..
what if you hate sex and hate having to live by someone else's laws and rules..
What if I want to smoke cigarettes and drink a beer on the street?
Not as hard to become lost in indulgence anymore, due to out advances in entertainment technology, but life *is* a struggle, especially to someone who wants nothing more than the freedom to be true to themselves and express themselves in the way they see fit.
You must remember he said that back in the 70's, which means it might've been more meaningful/relevant because of the time/place. English schools back then supposedly killed your individuality.
Julien Temple is the one who got it all, spedding demos from March 77, the complete boat gig, the Sex Pistols number one footage from 1975, yes everything. That greedy cunt has it all and he wont share, grrrr, makes me pissed off.
I love the way he sings (screams..:D) "...in love with you". And sad, what he said about school and your future after it is still true at least for workingclass people. People should be fucking angry but nowadays it just seems like everybody's asleep....
yeah i totally agree with what john said but everyone just accepts what there told and accepts that there told what they should believe and just go along with it no questions asked
Well, i think people is waking up again... If you read the news on the internet, you can see the thousands of demonstrations that are happening around the world. And many of these demonstrations are against the current educational system. So I think 'Punk' is so alive again!
lol the guitar drops out at the end
