[ApartmentThe]

congrats to ya, mate.

[MrJohneybgood]

As long as these guys are alive, punk will never die

[rcpubtree]

these guys are the true face of rock and roll - most other groups have sold out, but these guys "don't care"

[rcpubtree]

these guys are the true face of rock and roll

[BorgieBabyxx]

Man, they sound fucking terrible(sadly)

It's so damn slow...

[leesmartin]

Theyve still got it

[Tlax13]

oh god these guys are so bent out of shape its almost funny. paul and johnny look okay but steve and glen look dead.

[drjefff]

@Tlax13 Glen has always looked that way

[revol148]

Late middle-aged men playing at a dull tedious corporate rock restival, their hands well buttered with plenty of cash in order to alleviate such indignity.They are just a heritage act now: a shadow of their former selves safe in the knowledge that there is a ready market for such nostalgia especially with the current parlous state of rock'n'roll.I saw them at Crystal palace back in 2002 - Steve Jones was so disinterested he was looking at his watch between songs.

[TheSickness14]

... DID I JUST SEE 1:48-1:50 DID I JUST SEE COREY TAYLOR'S SON!?!?

[TheSickness14]

WORSHIP THE GOD OF PUNK lulz

[kranker99frank]

This is really cool punk is the best

[DaddyNowhere]

Thanks for another grim reminder of my getting older. Great to see them still rocking though, retro or not. Amazing they're all present, (save for Sid, though Glen was surely the superior musician). Thanks for posting!

[yepheth]

Pretty Country

[callinalltrux]

@goonerhugo... Lenny's right. Grow up and be a banker like yer dad,eh? Punk rock doesn't need you around son.

[firstcat]

sucks

[goonerhugo]

this is fucking awful, punk is about bloodying your self up and showing you dont give a fuck. i see a bunch of old men barely standing without zimaframes. they should have over dosed before they were 30, like any good punk band.

[Lennykinda]

@goonerhugo .. your a nob

[fmk1106]

Saw this on cable tv late one night. IT was the first time I had heard this song. It's brilliant!  "WE'RE SO PRETTY, OH SO PRETTY,........VAAACAAANT!....­.BUT WE DON'T CARE!!!!"

[billsurf101]

The ultimate punk band with the ultimate "fuck off" attitude that just slaps the shit out of you at every turn. Love the sex pistols.

[prestwoodwolf]

A major Part of English history! gOD sAVE tHE pISTOLS!!!

[FatKidCookie]

no punk rock bands as of today beats the "punkness" of the Sex Pistols

[samuel588]

This is a fucking awesome version of the song. I love it.

[ideastospitat]

I literally pissed myself when they broke into that country western Pretty Vacant.

[pelamen]

so good to see rotten angry like old times... for the people to wanna see a really punk band called FLEMA

[andrejouellette]

Too bad!!! Right side audio missing. Anybody else notice?? AJO in canukland!

[skinnyhurley]

LOL! "We're tired now, goodnight!" ahahahha

[amapunker76]

Best live band ever.

[ChrisPacfart]

@amapunker76 after Albano & Romina

[aponcedeleonch]

in my opinion they are pretty good playing live...that is one of the principal reasons they get famous....maybe that changed when sid entered the band (he couldnt play shit), but when they were with matlock it was fuckin awesome and still is fucking awesome

[1960unclemort]

@aponcedeleonch right -matlock wrote the majority of the  music and all of pretty vacant

[TheNicholas0202]

It gets serious at 02:51

Then they deliver one of the best live performances ever

[Rockonbigfella]

sound shit live

[oasis4ever92]

at no point did the sex pistols attempt to be crowd pleasing. they went out and voiced there opinions. did it with the bollocks.

what did john say at the start of the video? enjoy it or go fucking die?

[Rockonbigfella]

fuk u u fag !

im nt slagging them and if you r a true sex pistols fan you would agree tht they r crap live and they used to mute sid's base so shut the fuk up!

[oasis4ever92]

no need for the mindless agression across the internet.

define crap. if u mean musically medioca then yes, crap. but if u mean unenjoyable they most certainly are not.

btw "fuk" is spelt "fuck"

[laurence231]

and mediocre is spelt mediocre not medioca! sorry i just had to join this argument!

[hofsteveO]

Legends,...

So if people are pissed off about them still playing...

They were hardly known as crowd pleasers in the first place...

What would Johnny say?..

FUCK OFF...

I, to the contrary, living in Canada, apprciate the lasting power of Mr Lyden. I've had problems w. censorship found in Canada's Avril Lavigne products w. any notice to this effect on CD & DVD. And I am a reduced income due to disability. Twice I tried to voice my displeasure to Mme Lavigne x2 censored.ONLY SUPPORT REAL RECORD STORES!! The Sex Pistols 'Never Mind The Bollocks', only albumI've ever owned, is like Mozart, Bach or Handel!! Appreciate it or f*ck*ng DIE!! To use Mr Lyden's words.

[SovietTelevision]

Christ this sucks. Considering how obviously bored they are playing the same shit over and over you'd think they'd write some new songs. Lazy old fat slobs.

[blades92]

I think this is fucking mint!

i actually pissed myself when they was playing at the start! Takes some fuckin' balls to do that in front of thousands of people!

[Stube437]

@blades92 not when you know you've got one of the worlds killer riffs to lay on them. In fact it builds it up more don't it?

[peaceman1234567]

Audio orgasm!!

[sail1948]

Johnny Rotten the well known rock and roll rebel should stick to advertising butter.

Bloody awful.

[blackcard23]

they're old and fat, AND THEY DONT GIVE A FUCK!!!

[The12Child]

@blackcard23 Yeah that is real punk rock! that is what rock&roll all about

[warzoned1]

@blackcard23 And that's why we love them! This is so tender, so poignant. Reminds me of a happy childhood. Oh shit.....

[07geir]

I didnt know they were that bad... the studio version from never mind... is absolute fantastic good

[jonsen82]

U just cant re-create chaos....let the Pistols rest back in the `70s where they belong...this was simply an embarrasing act from old men.....

[maison666]

one of the best bands ever but this is pure shit.

[markusa]

too OLD.

[goonerhinchey]

i was there, it's me at 37sec...

[mogs9999]

long haired fella ??

[goonerhinchey]

yep,

[BeachBabeJo]

i was there :)

they were well good

[sidlives84]

they should have made glenn dress like sid! hahaha SID LIVESSSSSSSSS

[tatethompson1234]

why would they want glen to dress as sid? glen is the real bassist and is a accomplished muscian...sid was nothing at all....waste of a spot in a important band.

[sidlives84]

cuz glen is a cunt who noone cares for, the sex pistols ARE punk rock but thier old farts now and you are not shit. give up the past you fucking loser and move on. punk is dead but sid lives!

[tatethompson1234]

sid was a tool and was nothing and was just a person to take up the spot on stage....he couldent even write his own songs.....least glen made the rich kids and phillistines and played with tons of people as session and live...your pretty pathetic if your one of those sid is my hero people...only thing i agree is punk is dead except for people who understand it truely.

[sidlives84]

your right punk is dead, who gives a fuck but people like you who cant move on in life you just sit in your comfy chair an dwell on it loser. sex pistols are god, and sid was thier jesus, hahahahahaha. if you dont like sid keep ur sorry comments to urselfs

[fringecakeboy]

@sidlives84 YOU ARE A COCK THE PISTOLS BROKE UP BECAUSE THEY NEVER SERIOUSLY RECOVERED FROM GLEN[who wrote most of their music]LEAVING THE BAND....AND THAT IS A SENTIMENT REALISED BY JONES LYDON AND MCCLAREN....WATCH NEVERMIND THE BOLLOCKS THE CLASSIC ALBUM SERIES AND GET YA FACTS RIGHT......SID WAS A POOR OLD HELPLESS JUNKIE WHO BETWEEN HIM AND HIS SOPPY BIRD NANCY KILLED THE PISTOLS[by the way dim-lo i thought i had a stupid user name till i saw yours]

[Pauluk33]

live these guys, lol. I dont care if people thing their a bore or not, they still play they still sound good, better some of the other trash around

[Zango]

haha, that's the problem: they sound good now and the shouldn't, they should play as they used to...

[drakebell1990]

how the hell do they sound good!!

They are a load of fucking shit and they always have been

[justpullingyourleg]

thats the whole piont of REAL punk

[SalDOWN]

what a lame crowd!

[scottyboy15]

I was there front row nd il tell u it was far from a lame crowd it was fuking amazin!

[dgg1994]

NO MOSHING?!?!? Blasmaphey!

[rolo1052]

you cant mosh to old men lol

[frrfp]

is that steve jones?! god he looks like absolute shit lol. like a walking cadaver

[novakknchita]

good intro

sex pistols style

[markusa]

one album made over 31 years ago.

lydon is now a total sell out boring cunt.

[HerrHorst303]

I agree pal:)

everyones selling out these days!

[weirdboy118118]

sex pistols r genuises and fucking gr8 !!!!

[HerrHorst303]

I used to have so much respect for John Lydon, until I heard today about him fighting Kele Okereke because he was black, when all he did was ask if he would re-start public image.

And also having a huge go at Duffy because she hugged him

he is a royal.... COCK!

[DreamerM]

I'm sure you were present at both incidents and had a complete view of exactly what happened. It can't possibly be exaggerated or any sort of misunderstanding.

[HerrHorst303]

alright then, cockey arse

whats to be misunderstood about "it's your black attitude!", and on top of that he didn't ACTUALLY deny it

he's an absolute cunt

[thealphacenturi]

Did you get Johnny's side of the story or give him the benefit of the doubt? No. Your attitude is actually how racism gets started, you hear one thing, so much be true right?

[HerrHorst303]

I don't see why you're arguing about it

I'm allowed my views aren't I

He obviously said something, he didn't deny it, he just said Kele started it which, lets be honest, he's a bit of a fag and wouldn't start a fight with anyone because he'd probably lose

but the racism is horrible, you can't deny it

[thealphacenturi]

"I don't see why you're arguing about it"

In that case, I don't see why you're talking about it period.

"I'm allowed my views aren't I"

But your "views" are based on assumptions, or nothing really.

"He obviously said something, he didn't deny it, "

watch?v=ezxPG6Xz2Kc

Wow, how unbiased you are!

[HerrHorst303]

grow up mate:)

there was actually no need for you to say anything was there

[thealphacenturi]

Now you're dancing around the issue telling others they don't need to talk, but somehow you do? Great! So, you admit that the possibility that John Lydon DIDN'T say anything racist?

[HerrHorst303]

mate, I just said what I thought

and you've got all wingy about it

so be quiet

[thealphacenturi]

I'll take that as you admitting you were probably wrong then. Next time, why not use your head and give someone the benefit of the doubt first. Don't talk about me "whining" about anything when it was YOU who started this calling him a cock and accusing him of being a racist.

[HerrHorst303]

how was I wrong?

he obviously said it

were you there? can you actually say Johnny didn't say it?

stop being a little girl and winging about what someone else says. You didn't need to argue did you

I'm perfectly entitled to say what I like

[thealphacenturi]

"he obviously said it"

You are to provide proof please.

"were you there? can you actually say Johnny didn't say it?"

Umm, you should ask YOURSELF that. Were you there? Can you actually say he did? No.

"stop being a little girl and winging about what someone else says."

May I refer you to your first post on this subject?

[HerrHorst303]

I'll say again

I can post whatever I want

I wasn't looking for an argument, I was just saying what I thought

be quiet

[thealphacenturi]

"I wasn't looking for an argument,"

Then don't post dumb and likely erroneous accusations.

[HerrHorst303]

I can post what I want mate, I was just saying what I thought

stop being such a girl

[thealphacenturi]

Wow.. what a great comeback. *Can't wait for you to come back and say "I can post what I want, stop talking" or whatever.*

[HerrHorst303]

be quiet:)

[thealphacenturi]

I think that's my business. Thanks.

[HerrHorst303]

be quiet:)

[ginastripes]

lol.

[frankybadboy]

Thanx for posting this, those guys sound amazing...I'm certain that the pistols didn't play this tight back in 1978. Matlock's bass is great, Steve Jones is rockin'...and well Lydon is just one of the best frontman in rock history. I wish I could've seen that show.

:)

[Zigster38]

F*ck yeah, they still rock. The police are bumholes LOL

[punkrock16forever]

wHEN THE FUCK WAS THIS ON TELLY I WAS IN IBIZA AND MISSED IT BASTARD.....

[rottenlydon]

it was televised soon after the gig ,the same night, its been shown twice again since then just yesterday, keep checking ITV2 guide and it will be on again no doubt

[davesfence]

LYDON IS A LIVING LEGEND.

[msinthrop]

I dont care if they end up playing supermarket openings. I was their at the beginning and ill stay to the end. They still rule.

[bolloxinator]

Best lineup they ever had. John, Steve, Glen and Paul. Sid was good fun and all, but MacClaren brought him in and developed his image as no more than a gimmick. Musically, he didn't fit in at all. Glen Matlock's bass really rounds off the band's sound, and they still sound fucking great after all these years. Thanks for posting it.

[zx6hell]

did you know only three of the pistols made the never mind the bullocks album johnny, steve and paul and that steve jones played the bass on never mind the bullocks

[gummock]

All I can say I was there in the begining and its great to here again

Fucking great band

well done for posting it

[pimpypimperson]

THANK YOU!

[markusa]

old and past it. boring

[beelez]

Best band at the festival! Never seen them live and found them to be f*cking awesome!

[barnabywilde]

Best Ever ! fuck yeah i was right at the front

[Breesey]

[sidchaos1988]

cheers 30 years on and still on top form long l;ive the pistols

[rottenlydon]

I saw them in Glasgow in 1996 and they were amazing,

[sidchaos1988]
