John Lydon's impersonation of Hitler and the verse of "Don't mention the war" is also from the famous 70's sit com Fawlty Tower with John Cleese playing the hotel manager to mess around with a bunch of German tourists...
At 3:19 when John covers his mouth he says "Jay Leno Show". He is referring to the Pistols' appearance on the Jay Leno Show the night before. He was not pleased with them, apparently. At 3:29 he is mocking the Leno producers, they didn't want him to go on about the Iraq war (controversial), it looks like he's implying they were like Hitler because he puts his thumb under his nose like a moustache and says, "Don't mention the war!" with a German-like accent.
aggrocontrol... of course Paul Cook played on the record, coz he was the drummer! It was Sid Vicious who didn't because he was in hospital with hepatitis so Steve Jones, the guitarist, played bass instead of Sid. No, Glen Matlock didn't play on never mind the bollocks because he had left the Pistols by then, although he did write most of the songs on Never Mind The Bollocks with the rest of the band before he left. So I think you should shut up m8! U dont have a clue what you're on about!!!
yeah i know... but he played live eccept on usa tour... but it doesn't matter 'cause i think that more than music it matter the soul... but is just my opinion... bye
Perhaps the audience is applauding because they genuinely like what they are seeing on the stage?
Both John and Steve have said that they live in America because the place and the people are a lot more cheerful than in the UK where John says it's like "crabs in a barrel"...one tries to climb out and the others drag him down...
Steve Jones is Guitar Great. All those Sex Pistols riffs came from his head all those years ago. If it was up to the other members of the band it would have been much different.. Cheers

Loud mouth no talent bore. How did he ever get to be famous other than for opening his trap and spewing out venom. And as for wanting anarchy, he would be the first one looking for protection if anarchy ever came anywhere near his precious belongings.
anarchy wouldn't force violence out of every corner, that's a stupid thought. Crime is a result of the law. and, he got famous for telling you that he was crap and didn't give a shit because it wasn't upsetting him. He represents a freedom.
I'm sure he's smarter than you "Warrior1010" or whatever the hell your name is
did i say hell? did that offend you? Its a shame. The only "truth" you discovered, is that Manic Street Preachers are an excellent band. Shame about the rest really
The Ramones were part of the New York proto punk scene, like the New York Dolls, the term punk, was used as far back as circa 1970. The Ramones had Suzie was a Punk Rocker back in 1974, what the Sex Pistols did was package it and show the yanks how it should be done.

Yes he was. Little johnny no talent needs to go back to school and learn what the word nazi means. He would pee his pants if he ever ran into one or had to go through that time in history as a Jew. So tired of aging british nobodies criticizing the US while using it to boost sales of their shoddy product. When was the last time anyone with real talent went on a chat show to promote themselves. Hypocrite and malignant narcissist.
Hey fucktard, while you're at it like Zeus on Olympus, get yourself a copy of the book, "Conjuring Hitler" in order to realize the true history of that period.
although the salutation is far from intellectual or well thought out(what else can you expect) here is a reply: believe in conspiracy theories all day long (conjuring hitler) and you will end up just being another conspiracy nut with no credibility. our governments are out to kill us...so now what? get rid of all government? when has that ever worked? i have yet to hear a workable solution from the other side of the argument. people who think the world is out to get them end up angry and alone
The more I watch John Lydon, the more he becomes unbearable. He constantly interrupts, asserts his disassociation from 'fame' and the falsehood of celebrity, but he just doesn't stop harking back to the Sex Pistol haydays. How many times can he fit in a song title or self reference in a conversation? Anarchy in the Uk indeed.
Good words! Untill the Sex Pistols 's original members are still alive, they're not dead! And don't come to tell me that Sid Vicious was in the band before Glen Matlock (the original bassist), beacause it's a big BULLSHIT!
I've only just realized, Rotten sounds like Zippy from Rainbow. How the hell did I never realise this?
