@kizzle1985 Glen left/sacked because Malcom Mclaren diden't think he was "punk" enough, so he would pit Johnny against him ect. Steve and Paul even say that was the biggest mistake they did. Atleast now they are all friends again and tour every few years and are making money now.
it wanst that big or great in the beginin, the media makes it amazing, the first gigs were just like today, playing in front of 2.5 people and a dog if u were lucky..........all u youngsters, get with today and go say something....YOU CUNTS!!!!!
You were all meant to be emo's. That's why you were born in the 90s and cry about not havin' been born before, instead of just doing what we did back then; Making our own fucking time to live in.
Quit YouTube and get out on the fucking strrets, fags.
it seemed VERY revolutionary at the time, as the first ROCK AND ROLL generation gap (not music or cultural) but now is essentially a stale idea, atleast the genre is. I wouldnt say some of the DIY ideals are. Punk certainly died when New Wave came about. Not that certain new wave bands arent good just ended the movement. Though you can credit punk as influening tremendous amounts of bands of the Alternative genre in the 80's and 90's. RIP Punk 1975-1978 whatever just my take on it.
i love how all of lydon's messages and conscious awarness ideas boiled down to a way of wearing clothing. i think if knew the clothes he wore normally would be the driving force behind 'punk' he wouldve dressed up a bit. punk nowhere near means anything anymore. 90 percent of the punks i know go home to there home cooked meals and suburban repluclican lifstyles. yet still get out on weekends and pretend they know what they stand for.

neither johnny rotten nor punk ever meant anything. from the moment punk got to britain, it was always about the clothes, it was always about spitting on your favorite band, and it was always about heroin
Did you see Westwood there in her bondage outfit? Also the guy at the end looks like he's trying to stop chewing his face off from the speed. Brilliant.
janet street porter is a right wing cunt nowadays, like most of that generation that sold the fuck out, how fucking horrible are tony parsons and ben elton these days?
Johnny slagging the Dolls in the song New York to be provocative and get attention was really portentous of fledging rappers picking a studio beef with an established rapper, for no other reason than to be heard
sid also contributed with belson was a gas...he wrote the whole thing...pretty good for a "complete loser junkie" if you ask me....also why is yotube like a fukin parade of people who think they know the most about a band who? who cares if they did this or didnt do that if you like it watch it and shit but if you dont you dont need to go on about how shit it is and especialy with punk stop saying every band is a sell out...fuck!
Its too bad they kicked Glenn out of the band considering he was the most prolific writer of the bunch. After that complete loser junky Sid Vicious joined they stopped writing songs. He didn't even play on the first album, that was all Steve Jones. The only thing that idiot contributed was a sense of style.
Sid didn't MAKE Glen quit. It was Glen's sort of..positive attitude that pissed everyone off. They basically backed him into a corner and he leaped. Glen's choice. It was Johnny who invited Sid. And I think he could play drums (Siouxe And The Banshees) and he could sing. He couldn't play bass, so what?
Steve Jones said that Glen kept washing his feet and liked the Beatles so they booted him. I think there was more to the story, pretty funny tho. Sid could sing I'll give him that.
Yeah, for liking the Beatles and Abba. And Glenn couldn't really handle the vulgar message of the songs. He's dressed in a silk shirt and red flared pants..just like the hippies/mainstream. Glen was a great bassist, but he just doesn't fit in.
Yes I know what you mean! Completely out of place! Poor guy he was a good player but just didn't fit...I LMAO every time I hear "we're sooo preettyyyy oh soo preettyyy!" lol
Saw this when it was first broadcast. Haven't forgotten it. Saw Steve in Kensington Market a few days later. I was two years younger so it's that playground hierarchy. They, The Sex Pistols are still "IT" Enjoy the truth for once.
