Classic Album: Sex Pistols (3/7)

[JackBootCharlie]

is this the nadir!!!!! folks ......... it's either write a column in a left wing periodical run by your scuzzie hubbie, talk up arms against the fucking might of the bundestag why don't you just or just hang yourself in a cell in a high-security prison near stutgart, now how bleak is that

[elo333333333]

Everything Johnny Rotten says about me is only 'cause he loves me 'cause I'm so good. It's true. (Grins)... I'm not pleased at Johnny Rotten, who says all these nasty things about me. I know that he feels he has to because I'm, along with the Queen, you know, one of the best things England's got. - Mick Jagger

what a fucking twat.

[keamonn1973]

I was pretty fuckin lit , Gold !!

[Wakeupdream]

Classic Album?This Album is shitty

[StephenFiorentini]

Whenever I'm in the studio the main thing I always strive for is to get the drums and guitars as tight as possibe, and haters can say what they want about the pistols, but god damm it just listen to the anarchy recording!

[katoness]

The bollocks is one of the greatest original rock n roll albums ever. It will stand the test of time for the next 100 years.

[triffs1]

they where fucking great, who`s talking about anarchie these days????????????????? new revolution has to come....

people are tooooo soft these days, we let all shit overcome .

we need justice in the world

[triffs1]

they where fucking great, who`s talking about anarchie these days????????????????? new revolution has to come....

[DoubleVisionandco]

Alot of people don`t like John. Why is because he`s dead honest. People sugar coat things to keep from hurting anothers feelings, but not Johnny Rotten.

Had he not been the sex pistols lead singer, and written the lyrics he did, the sex pistols would have never been as big as they became. He tries to make out like he don`t care about the guys in the band, but he does. They are a magical team. I`ll never forget the first time I heard "Holiday in the sun" It kicked my ass and I loved it.

[zzbear1]

the Pistols dynamics havnt been matched to this day!!!!!!

[PBANDSNOW]

Johnny Rotten was right, the beatles SUCK!!

[Triplesod]

@PBANDSNOW Ahh. I see. You're one of those that follow bands and genre's for the fashion, rather than the music.

That's OK. I suppose. I suppose some people just don't understand music, just don't get it. I mean, Lydon would absolutely detest you for it but he's a loudmouthed gobshite.

[PBANDSNOW]

@Triplesod No, im the type of person who doesnt like a band because everyone else likes them. I dont like the Beatles because I dont think they are talented.

O, and by the way, i follow bands for music.

Dont write back, because I dont care what you have to say.

[Triplesod]

@PBANDSNOW Look mate, don't tell me when I can and cannot post here, you arrogant prick!

Anyway, I appreciate your opinion on the Beatles. There is no psychological study to prove that not liking the band is in some way unnatural (though of course it is!).

To say that the Beatles were untalented is about as ridiculous as any statement could be, though and surely gives most people here the impression you have no real understanding of music.

[PBANDSNOW]

@Triplesod Again you sod, if I say that they have no talent, its because I dont think they have talent.

Fuck off.

[Triplesod]

@PBANDSNOW And again, fair enough. I appreciate your opinion.

1 DISLIKED WHAT MUST BE A DISCO FREAK PUFF

[Leadhead444]

It's good the pistols broke up! why? because that one album was kick ass not too many punk bands can match their rough edge and agression and if they made another album it ruin it for me!! they made one of the greatest albums besides London calling Modern Lovers and Velvet Underground and Nico and Stooges!

[Hasselnorris]

You dirty bastArd! you facking rotter! Classic!

[bradgotch]

When Matlock was kicked out that fuct it. Sid had the "look" but was shite. Sad. But that one album was an absolute ball tearer and still is timeless.

[GlennsMisfits]

"Steve Jones was and still is about the tightest lead guitarist I ever heard in my life"

As I grow older I agree more and more with you.Back in the days never realized how good he was.

[GlennsMisfits]

Man,you should REALLY upload the rest

[AustinKay]

hahahaha, near the end when it shows the newspapers, punk is censored, I'm really glad I wasn't around when shit was so sensitive

[beano1eye]

Although I do like John Lydon, He is so ignorant sometimes to say "If we went in with some heavy metal noise merchant" it would have been a disaster is ridiculous, He knew absolutely nothing about music & production at the time! Tom Allom who produced Judas Priest's British Steel album would have done a fantastic job with "Never Mind The Bollocks"

[Bakerlite1]

Awesome - Sill good songs after 30 years

[eveningthought]

LOL:

Malcolm: I suddenly realised that I was the manipulator...

Steve: Malcolm shit himself.

McLaren is so full of crap! Even after all these years!

[Slance1Himself]

LOL!

[kidcalabria]

Where are Parts 1and 2? Goddammit!! Don't tell me they got taken off because of "copyright infringement"!

Anyway, thanks for posting this

[EuchridEucrow1]

Boy, Matlock does seem like a fairly bland individual, doesn't he?

No wonder Lydon claims, in typically exaggerated fashion, to 'hate' him.

He did come up with one of the all-time great rock and roll riffs, though!

[thrillathakilla]

The reason he was sacked or left was because he didn't fit in with the rest of the group. But Sid coming in made things worse.

[theyakkoman]

Actually, Sid did a pretty good job. He learned to play the bass and did it quite well. Then he met Nancy and THEN it went down hill.

I'm not blaming Nancy, but she and Sid were a star-crossed couple.

[thrillathakilla]

Sid couldn't play much, Bodies and a bit of Anarchy in the UK but nothing other than that.

Watch them play in the Longhorn Ballroom, specifically during Bodies, Sid plugs his amp in, Steve promptly unplugs it.

[theyakkoman]

Well, at least I know he tried hard. Both Keith Levine and Kris Needs remember a night were Sid would sit with his bass the whole night threw and play along to the Ramones album, in that way learning to play the bass.

I think Lydon summed Sid up the best. "Sid was a very good friend of mine and I miss him dearly, but he was a twat. He bought the whole "sex, drugs and rock n' roll myth".

He was a tragic character.

[thrillathakilla]

He certainly was. One thing that Sid also showed is those who die young become legends.

[illhaveadouble]

theyakkoman: You speak as if you knew Sid. Did you?

[theyakkoman]

I'm quoting real life witnesses. Like I said, Kris Needs, Keith Levine, Paul Cook, John Lydon etc. People who knew Sid. I wanna defend the guy since he either gets "too fast to live

too young to die " saint glory over himself or "talentless hack poser shit". The truth, like so many things, can be found somewhere in the middle, but people seem to lean to the extremes.

[illhaveadouble]

Ah, I see. I was confused when you asserted whether these 'real life witnesses' were right or wrong. I did know Sid (we hung around in the same crowd) and thought I had found an old friend. Sorry I misunderstood.

[punkrockenpunk]

watch loads of sids first gigs especially the ones from holland and sweden and the last gig hes ok. the gigs before he got into heroine sid can paly fine

[bally28]

nonsense

[desasterz]

here, Malcom's alright, I've seen some interviews when he's so not got a clue i actually feel sorry for him. He said once "John is a nice boy trying to be bad"

[LOLUK]

7:00 - Oh, shut the fuck up, McLaren!

[Obelisk2290]

they are giving them way too much credit for their musicianship yet they had an impact

[onitag]

johnny rotten is the first man to be smart and love simplicity at the same time!!!!the kind of guy that can  really !say ,,fuck einstein'' whenever he wanted

[aintpluggedin]

mono-deluxe. haha

[ajittffcure]

Ha ha... classic stuff! I agree that John Lydon has got a unique churning vocal delivery.

[DreamerM]

Lookit Chris grin as he works on the Anarchy mix! He loves that music. :)

[jks2]

look close to the bass at 0:50 how high the strings are of the fretboard

[DreamerM]

John was a school drop out, but a life-long reader who was always writing. He got the Pistols job because he had a certain look and a certain attitude but no one could have predicted he would be an intelligent, talented lyricist as well. Or that he would take his frontman job as seriously as he did.

The Pistols had an accidental chemistry shouldn't have been wasted in bar scraps. McLauren was an idiot.

[jungle551]

dude fuck off if i want to know about John then i'll fucking look him up (I don't need to). YOU'RE ON THE INTERNET!!

[samboni10]

Did someone wake up on the wrong side of their mother this morning?

[Romio77Godyarts]

@DreamerM McLaren was a genius. He had the idea of using a band to promote his shop. He gave the band its name (They were called Swankers before), he gave them a place to rehearse. He chose Lydon. And more importantly, it was thanks to him they signed with a major label. With no exposure, they wouldn't have gotten as far as they did. He had nothing to do with the music or the lyrics, both brilliant, but he was important.

[Slance1Himself]

Johnny Rotten without music kicks ass! :O very cool

[Eddiethemetalist]

if you listen to "through my eyes" with pistols you can clearly hear that johnny is a fantastic singer

[dreamdeceiver]

Ouvindo só o overdub vocal, eu pensei que fosse uma cabra gripada sendo espancapa pelo dono do sítio.E tem gente que acha essa porcaria de banda significativa.Sex Lixous é um tremendo de um faz me rir.Dei boas risadas ouvindo essa porcaria.

[aintpluggedin]

you gotta admit, steve had some nice tits back then :-)

[rejectedgtr13]

tight!!!

[peaceman1234567]

If they went in with some heavy metal noise merchant producer they would`ve sounded more like Uriah Heep

[PunkKTiLLiDiE]

thats the best recorded version of anarchy ive ever heard, SO TIGHT!

[leeraconteur]

If the master is lost, where is the 24 track working copy that Bill Price was mixing in this clip?

Nothing pisses me off more than knowing that a priceless piece of music has a lost master.

Crist.

[thrillathakilla]

That bit bill was working is the Rejected version, you can buy it on iTunes.

[junkboxxxxxx]

Makes me want to be a studio sound engineer... looks like a lot of fun.

[PunkKTiLLiDiE]

at 6:35 does Paul's cymbal have a triangle cut out of it?

[blazertreyflip]

honkey donkey?

[cr3w1n]

the pistols where more than music, there are more likely to send a message by not telling you what to think but more about the things thatarent meant to be known...mission accompplished if you ask me

[Q25R]

untalented english fops.good riddance to bad rubbish.go manchester

[lisaskell]

ha ha who the fuck are you to slag cunts off you come from manchester again i say ha ha fucking ha untalented like your two football teams man who and man shity roses and oasis wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the pistols open your eyes mate

[punkinchavland]
