  • lol the guitar drops out at the end

  • 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

    (sorry for my english)

  • Is it just me, or does anyone else hear Sid playing the bass?

  • @Boogieboy138 Thanks for being the only one who ever noticed. RARE. Sid playing in a live rehearsal yet studio setting.

  • 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!

  • the great rock'n'roll swindle!!

  • What song are they playing?

  • @1maiko1 No Feelings

  • Do you think you could re-upload this with just the song?

  • Good performance. I used to have some of this when I had "The Great Rock n' Roll Swindel".

  • The most brilliant description of living life as an english male that i have ever heard.

  • 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.

  • he was only about 19 in this,i think,. he was well clued up our Jonny,..

  • He was actually twenty-one - but that's still pretty young!

    Yeah, he was one smart cookie. (:

  • @SuperGrimupnorth He was 21 actually but he said he thought he was younger back then because he was on amphetamine.

  • 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!

  • Sid could play base very well

    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

  • I love that simple explaination of life at the beginning, via THE one and only Johnny Rotten. Fucking legendary, man.

  • extended ? in what way?

  • Oh you think you're clever when you said that

    Clever when you followed yourself away

    Clever when you lost what I still have

    When you rached a certain age

    When mother sais it's time to grow up now

    So stop speacking your mind look in my eyes, learn to give the wanted answer

    Teacher's scared of your inteligence

    He cant lose his reputation

  • Sid actually plaid...

  • hahaha u gave me two thumbs down cuz i found another evidence that he could play bass? man i hate haters

  • still fresher than most music around today!

  • i'm 29 wif two kids...

  • Then I pity the fool!! lol

  • i would love to see the whole rehearsal...

  • so true johnny...so true! sex pistols still own everybody! So =P to the haters!

  • 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?

    That's what johnny was talking about.

    Freedom to do what YOU wanted to do

  • @orangie84 amen

  • oh yeah , this is music THE SEX PISTOLS 4 EVER YEAH

  • he looks demonized...this is one of the few good scenes from rock n roll swindle

  • :DDDD AWESOME!!! go sex pistols!!!!!

  • He is right about the whole suicide thing some people do that.

  • ...or sometimes the evil squirels get them, Gloria. lol

  • lol

  • His speech is true for the most part.

    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.

  • doesnt anyone have the complete clip of no feelings?

  • The Sex Pistols do.

    They are very thrifty with

    archive clips of the band

    in it's hayday.

    Filth And The Fury documentary

    mostly recycles

    Malcolm's GR'N'R comedy.

  • 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.

  • That is such a misguided statement.

  • Lol. I'm watching this and my old mother comes in, sees, laughs and says, "what a cute little boy is that!"

    Too bad most people don't get Johnny. They just don't. It makes me sad.

  • Classic, live forever SEX PISTOLS.

    Well said you genious Rotten!

  • what a load of bollocks sid was an idiot and mr lydon is an even bigger idiot than his ego

  • and you're a fucking ignorant

  • that is so true... u finish school then u go 2 collage \ university get a job get married have kids then die..see how life sux

  • He doesn't say life sux.

  • Ya i kno he didnt say that but  just 2 me it suxs

  • of course he said that...life has to suck if you wanna commit suicide fool

  • Oh, John!

    What a sweet, little boy.. C|

    Seriously though, here he reminds me of a cartoon character.. like someone out of a Beano comic.

    Maybe Dennis the Menace? xD

  • All Johnny ever spoke is the truth, very powerful.

    Don't accept the old order, get rid of it!!

  • sex pistols yeah john lyndon is a fucking

    genious to bad most people don,t get him

  • wow *-*

  • where can i see the whole video

  • Awesome

  • Johnny when he had balls.

  • Rumahuqu says YEAH !

  • this was obviously before sid was a huuge heroin addict, he is not THAT bad on bass

  • he could play after he became a heroin addict man not before lol.

  • he played the drums before though

  • Джони Ротън е пич !

  • Съгласен съм

  • R.I.P I LOVE SID VICIOUS

  • 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!

  • Ah so true!

    Finally people start opening their eyes again.

  • sweet!

  • Oh Sid, the bass was not for you, and neither was this world.

    R.I.P. The greatest punk ever.

  • I especially like Johnny's face on the end.. What's happening? haha

  • i love yr mortal sin

  • Great interview!
