I Wanna Be Me - Sex Pistols

[ManilaSyndicate]

In this rough and crude recording lay a germ of the future legend. Like most great bands, they had it from the start.

[cloudola]

wow... people fighting with each other to determine who's the absolute punkestest of them all... GOD I LOVE THE INTERNET!!!!

[MrNivo666]

Jesus CHRIST

[decaysvegan]

God you idiots make me sick. Haven't you got something better to do than argue over Punk ? I am a huge Punk fan and have been for 35 years. Yeah I'm an old fart. Why don't all you idiots just enjoy your Punk music, both new and old bands. Listen to the lyrics and enjoy them. Its there to enjoy, not there as a book of rules. Rules are the last thing Punk should be about.

[MrNivo666]

@decaysvegan in 75 I'm introduce with the commercial punk song from blondie's 'denise' than I hear on the radio here in belgium in 78 anarchy from the uk and a new world open 4 me ps fuck the rules

[Sazandar]

PUNK: being PRETTY VACANT, I WANNA BE ME, and it's NO FUN

[MrBertaga]

my favorite's song of PISTOLS... so many years ago, boring nights,drugs,and alcohol

[AriannaTgirl]

Ha ha. Dummies, he says YOU wanna be me; not I wanna be me. Did you think he was retarded and wanted to be himself? lol Enjoy the song, but don't fucking tell ME what the fuck he's saying or what it's about. He was telling Nick Kent from the NME to go fuck himself for giving him a bad review. I was a punk long before any of you self-righteous posers, so suck my tranny dick. :-)

[1964chrissie]

@AriannaTgirl who cares what you think he sings, the song is still called I wanna be me, and it's spelled poseurs not posers, fuck off,

[AriannaTgirl]

@1964chrissie No. Poseur is a French word. Unless you pronounce it like you're French, it's "poser". Maybe in England they spell it that way because it's a term of French origin that predates punk by a good 100 years. But you is wrong. And I don't give a shit who gives a shit. Just remember. You're wrong. You always were wrong. You're wrong now. You always will be wrong. You never count. Ever. lol

[1964chrissie]

@AriannaTgirl Poseur is a french loan word, meaning a person who pretends to be something they are not, poser means a question/puzzle or the person who poses the question, now shut up stupid semi-literate fool.

[AriannaTgirl]

@1964chrissie Stop talking out of your ass. Punks adopted and mispronounced the word ages ago. Thank Poly Styrene for making it that way. (R.I.P. Poly.) Pose is pose, as in "posing" for a photo. Stop being a crybaby, and accept that you have no life if you even bothered discussing this with me. You can never out-argue me, birdbrain. You are a poser and an angry hippie.

[1964chrissie]

@AriannaTgirl How did Poly Styrene spell it ? P.O.S.E.U.R. who's talking about how it's pronounced? you just can't spell, you lose the argument then you talk shit and pretend you've won, pardon me for knowing the English language, something to do with being born in England, so fuck off bull-shitting freak, that's freak spelled C.U.N.T. you stupid Poseur!

[AriannaTgirl]

@1964chrissie Ha ha! You hate me, thank god, because I consider it compliment to hated by a boring old fool like you! I am so glad you wasted you energy on writing ANYTHING concerning me or my opinions, you sad old has-been POSER!!!! :D

[MonkeyHunch]

@1964chrissie im really fuckin wasted oow bbut the poly styrene bit got me staring at the screen for a while trying to fathom it so thumbs up even though i dont un derstand your comment!

[1964chrissie]

@MonkeyHunch Okay! don't over-do the substances.......

[MonkeyHunch]

@1964chrissie LoL , duly noted :)......

[MonkeyHunch]

@AriannaTgirl I still have a penis do you ?? LOL im gonna stick up for 1964 chrissie

[AriannaTgirl]

The song is about Nick Kent, you POSERS. That's right. You are ALL POSERS. I WAS A PUNK BEFORE ANY OF YOU WERE PUNKS. In fact YOU'RE NO BETTER THAN SOMEONE LISTENING TO THE EAGLES IN THE LATE 70'S!!! Punk is like a prop in a useless, dead lifestyle from over 30 years ago. You people have no balls or original thouhts in your heads. That's why you get emotional over me correcting you about a song title. GROW UP! You're worse than HIPPIES!!! lol

[RemoteMemory]

@AriannaTgirl

So, just to get this straight. You are saying that because you "were a punk before any of [us] were punks"; this makes you the only authority on punk, and anyone who disagrees with you is not punk?

That is the most un-punk attitude ever. Close minded, conformist, and authoritarian.

You sound more like a fascist to me.

Diversity in music is what keeps this fucking world from being a bore.

If everyone were a sheep like you, this world would suck 100x more than it already does.

[elvein1]

@RemoteMemory (>^_^)># have a waffle kind sir! ^^

[MartianBattleplan]

@RemoteMemory Too fucking true. When we start looking at punk as a trend and not a lifestyle then it becomes obsolete. Some of the most punk people I've met didn't have the style or the idea that they were better than anyone. They had the heart. That's what it's about.

[UTFRG]

@RemoteMemory But most people are bloody sheep its so depressing that they dont even know they are conformists

[PBANDSNOW]

@AriannaTgirl Stupid girl, too ignorant to know what your talking about, to arrogant to learn anything about the subject.

[andysmith63]

@AriannaTgirl Nice one!

[TrollingDayAndNight]

@AriannaTgirl congrats, your mother fired you out of her vagina before our mothers fired us out of theirs, you deserve utmost respect...tranny

[damnheat2005]

Who are these people who say this song is called "wanna be me" not " I wanna be me" fucking idiots, it says "I Wanna Be Me" on the B-side of the Anarchy in the U.K. single (EMI 2566) from 1976, so fuck off, and all the people who have voted these dopey comments "up" can fuck off too!!!!!!!!!!!

[hoxvoxbox]

@1964chrissie LOL rightly pissed. Thumb up.

[xBakaSutox]

@1964chrissie does it matter really, people just can't listen to the fucking song, u are right man, fucking cunts ¬¬ I hate those 'fans'

[1964chrissie]

@Riyun72 I expect a better class of insult from an Aussie, I mistook you for a yank, fuck off Cobber!

[MrRocklover106]

[xxballzXdeepXcydxx]

@MrRocklover106 ahaha wow

[PrettyVacantsWay]

@xxballzXdeepXcydxx let me tell you something...Johnny Rotten is 10000 times better than Sid. and it comes from a 14 years old girl. xD

[xxballzXdeepXcydxx]

@xxballzXdeepXcydxx uh i never said ANYONE was good......

[damianpaya]

where is the bass ? i dont hear

stupid sid vicius you dont are a really six pistols

[chasindevils]

@damianpaya

AT this point sid was not in the band. John Matlock was playing bass.

If you have the cd or an LP of the recording you can hear the bass.

For some reson all youtube videos cut out some bass tones.

[RaySLF]

@chasindevils Glen Matlock. he was the original bass player before Sid

[dagmardomcekova]

@damianpaya You stupid

[venyogo2]

@damianpaya Someday you gonna i die, and i go to laugh

[Lina0David]

R.I.P Sid Vicious, you are missed!

[petraSID]

I love Steve's T(ITS)-SHIRT

[sk8erboy953]

Johnny rotten all the way!!!!!!!!!! Vicious was A TOOL!!!

[sk8erboy953]

Sid Was A Fucking Tool, he fucked the sex pistols over!! watch the documentary!!!

[alfabat2]

@sk8erboy953 and everything they say in a documentary is true

Sid was just great

[dagmardomcekova]

@alfabat2 God save the Sex Pistols

[2004020671]

mugrosos reñetooneros!!! esto es musica, ja ja ja

[maniaczek91]

Is it only me or is speed too slow ?

[JeffroTV]

This was the first song I learned on Guitar when I was 16. The rest is history. Thanks Sex Pistols.

[DietDrMario]

punk could be considered dead as a "music style"

But punk isnt truly dead. Aslong as their are people putting their messege across in kick arse songs without giving a fuck what anyone thinks,punks still alive :D

Its like saying Rebellion is dead...

[sturdle]

@DietDrMario better than rapcrap (well anything is) 

[mrjohnps81]

i have a an anti swastika tattoo on my back,i got it in prison right on the yard in front of a group of aryan brotherhood members,its a swastika with a slash through it,fuk u lame ass nazi wanna be mother fukers,show me a swastika,and i would remove it from your skin

[aclark141]

@mrjohnps81 Ms. Johns, I don't mind if child molesters like you get an anti swastika tattoo, you should be chemically castrated.

[Vizzardy]

punk forever!!!

[Kelly14UK]

Favorite PiSTOls song. Submission and New York too.

[thenextcircle]

at 00:4, johnny does the quagmire head bob

[Darkangelrock92]

Steve was the cool guy

Paul was the great guy

Glenn was a great song writer and he was exellent bassist

Sid was the face of punk and had the right additude and he was gorgeous as well

John was the genious and he was gorgeous too :)

Long live the SP! <3

[Darkangelrock92]

Punk was so much better in the 70s and parts of 80s, but mostly the 70s :)

Modern ''punk'' is a waste and shitty!

[Argarna]

I love how the lyrics are "you wanna cover us in margarine" and now Jonny sells butter

[RayIshima]

god this guy cant sing

[JimmyDFFDBorneo]

@RayIshima

I know, isn't it great! I hate music where people actually sing.

[GoodGuitarSolos]

@JimmyDFFDBorneo Seriously? This is awesome but hate music where people know how to sing, pretty radical, eh?

[JimmyDFFDBorneo]

@GoodGuitarSolos Thank you. I know that's not supposed to be a complement, but saying something is to extreme is a complement to any Sex Pistols fan.

[GoodGuitarSolos]

@JimmyDFFDBorneo Haha!

[Kelly14UK]

@RayIshima Yeah, sure. And the likes of Cheryl Cole CAN? You're missing the point.

[UpTheIrons230497]

Good Song!

[childrenofmaiden25]

they'd be on top of the world if Sid was still alive

[ZALIZAAAA]

@childrenofmaiden25

dude,..Sid could barely play the guitar..he was ..fuck... he was talentless next to everyone else..and im being nice by saying that..

he should have never be a member of the sex pistols..just my opinion..

they'd be on top of the world if they could get along..not if Sid was alive..

Rotten is what made the pistols who they are..try imagining them with another front man..you cant..now try imagine them with another bass player.drummer etc etc..i can..
