Sid Vicious was a fucking Junkie who abused/mistreated animals and NOT a Sweet Kid as you describe Him.........As a Big Pistols Fan myself and a former big fan of Vicious that is what Ive unfortunatly learned about him.......very sad indeed.
it's a joke? this is a joke to people? They aren't trying to impress anyone. They are still the pistols. they are old as hell, yeah. but they're doing this because they love the sex pistols. and i'm sure they really really care about what you think about this. you gotta think about who you're talking about. Vicious wasn't a marketing tool. The world turned him into one. The is music. fuck punk. fuck everything. this is real. the sex pistols are real.
How bad is Lydon these days - shockingly bad - like an awful 'Stars In Their Eyes' version of himself. He sounds like he doesn't believe himself. He's become a major player in the system that he purports to detest. False God!
Glen helped start the band, was there before Johnny and helped write the songs. If you don't know this are you sure you're a fan? Musically Sid was nothing to the band. All accounts he was a sweet kid. Too bad his life played out as it did. Having all 5 members would be amazing!
Its not a joke. The music sounds fucking powerful. I didnt like the lads for their image, I loved the music. I love John's style and energy as well as the lyrics. Steve's a good guitarist and I could recognize a Paul Cook drum beat anywhere.
what the fuck do you want lol, there a lot older now, and one of them is dead, the fact there togeather playing at all is amazing, most people couldnt get over the loss of a friend like that and still carry on
Their pension funds needed topping up and now they can retire to California and sunny London. Have you noticed how the 2 who migrated to USA are fat bastards, whilst Matlock and Cook have not blown out.
Re mrefeeene s comment, this is the origional pistols lineup glen tatlock now on bass was binned of for sid vicious but he s dead so they brought tatlock back. Tatlock was the main lyrisist for the band
we cant just say the 'rawe danger' has gone from these guys cos lets face it, they've grown up now. They're never gonna be as 'raw' as when they were kids. Anyway they still sound pretty raw to me and look how Jonny prowls around the stage like some psychopathic clown.
Not exactly. His personality and lifestyle actually characterized punks in my opinion. Why would you do drugs if you didn't have problems? Why would you have problems if you had a nice comfortable home with a computer and good food? Punks wanted justice, and wanted the country to get better and pay attention to them - those who lived hard lives.
The very fact that people resent them reforming shows that they have fallen into the trap of thinking punk was something that was self destructive. They haven't sold out, they are just in the faces of everybody. It's those who actually appreciate them and get the humour that see that reforming or not, it's no bad thing.
@morfeeene: The Pistols were also always about satire and mockery about society and it still works......that´s probably what John meant when he said: We are NOT about rock´n´roll........!
@morfeeene i gotta agree with you. johnny rotten seems like an old english chap trying to imititate himself from the 70's but it just comes across as almost humerous.
i admit he couldnt play bass, but beofre he met nancy he was trying to hard to be good at playing the bass, n trying to get his life in order, then nancy came n start him on herion
You people are being entirely ridiculous! One of the greatest bands of all time is getting back together for a couple of shows, and you complain? So what if they don't sound the same, their older, there's nothing they can do about that. If you want the old sound, listen to Never Mind the Bollocks, but if you say that you like the Pistols, then quit fucking complaining!
this doesnt deserve the four and half stars it has. whats so punk about getting back together 30 years down the line for a bit of money? i mean, you gotta put food on the table but this is ridiculous
Steve was pretty good, but it wasn't the quality of their music but the way they fucked all up that kicked ass to everyone. I'm not trying to insult the Pistols. I love them too!
@greendaykickarse agree.didnt listen to pistols for like 10 years and then I give them another shot,and I was fucking surprised how god he was.But they were as a band really good.Too much hype masked their really good live shows.And johnny today sounds much better then lot of old singers
don't be so stupid, sid vicious didn't do anything, he didn't play, he didn't write anything, glen mattlock played and wrote,and vicious joined sex pistols in 1977, he was not one of the first members, the truth is that sid vicious is shit, he's just famous because he was an asshole and he dressed like a "punk" he was just an idiot who was in the right place at the right time
I was there on the 14th, front row on the barrier, and I can tell you that Mr Lydon has certainly not lost it... His voice changed cos with PiL he had lessons and it altered it... no way has he lost his bite though...
That guitar tone sounds fucking amazing!
