This is a joke. In a good way. The hardcore Pistols fans (I would consider myself a fan, though perhaps not the most adamant in the world) can't take a joke. Given the snarky smartassdom that defines the band, you'd think people would appreciate this.
Rock was based on country and blues...these guys are just taking it full circle. Johnny "I can't believe it's English butter" Rotten would probably like it too.
Very good... the guy taht said it was an insult, i thing i know nothing about the pistols.... not even them were serious about there songs... they were just playng.... this song and this band its better than that group of ``punks``
Some like, some don't...personally, I like. I appreciate all music at times. And this proves that nothing is scared. Well done Hayseed. The original made me rock, this one actually made me think. :))
watt the hell are these hillbillie twats doin there ruining a great song sung by the greatest british punk rock band there ever was "the SEXPISTOLS" GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
the sex pistols may not have been good and had a not so good bass player but they got there point across in a very good way
why the fuck would you comment on this then? i guaran fucking tee that the sex pistols influenenced who ever it is that you listen to. the sex pistols never wanted fame but they sure as hell got it. fuck you buddy
No, the band was started by malcolm mclaren because he wanted to manage a punk band after returning from NYC. He formed the sex pistols, and then they kicked out their first bassist and replaced him with Sid Vicious, who couldn't actually play bass, but was image correct for the band. Sorry, the Sex Pistols were fashion punks. Not that british punk isn't amazing, the Sex Pistols just sucked balls.
yeah, the pistols were basically hacks, but i still think they had some catchy shit. you can't say any of this about the clash, though (like the other guy did).
The Pistols were not started by McLaren. They were formed before Malcolm went to NY, and he only became their manager on his return. The famous Vivienne Westwood 'Love/Hate' T-shirt - featuring 'Kutie Jones and his Sex Pistols' - (the first mention of the band's name in print) predates Malcolm's trip, all the proof you need. The band then consisted of Jones, Cook, Matlock & Wally Nightingale. Kutie Jones incidentally was Jones' stage name when he was the singer before Rotten joined in Aug 75.
Actually the Sex Pistols were thoroughly working class youths (or football hooligans). The band was not started by Mclaren, he only agreed to manage the band as it would mean Steve Jones (guitarist) would stop stealing from his shop.. and it was Mclaren that ultimately ruined the pistols.
The Clash on the otherhand did go to public schools...
He grew up in a council estate in Finsbury and went to a catholic school (typical when your parents are irish immigrants). Joe Strummer from the clash on the other hand DID go to a fee paying boarding school
from the rock & roll hall of fame website (in which the clash has been inducted):
"Quite simply, the Clash were among the most explosive and exciting bands in rock and roll history. They played a major role in creating and defining the punk movement. If the short-lived Sex Pistols were glorious nihilists, then the Clash expressed punk's impassioned political conscience. Their explosive, uptempo punk-rock manifestos were unleashed with pure adrenaline and total conviction."
You bunch of geeks.... if they did a version of this song that was exactly the same as the sex pistols original what would be the point? you might as well just listen to the original... BTW Hayseed and the Pistols are both gods of what they do..
you arsehole, sid was the only one who used drugs (heroin anyway)and he was fuck all to do with the music, they were already the sex pistols we all know long before he came along, they changed the whole music buisness
with one album, which still sounds as fresh as it did 30 years ago,
artschool? steve jones did'nt go to any fuckin school
I agree, Johnny Rotten even thinks punk is dead! My band have been going longer than the sex pistols did. And if he would even go to a punk show or check out a label like hellcat then he'd be so wrong.
sex pistols were a bunch of art school arses... the clash were the best british punk band of that era, real working class hero's... this is far better than the sex pistols version
First of all, John looks a bit like Hoss from Bonanza with the cowboy hat on.
Second of all, great song, great video, great reminder of how far (or maybe, how far we haven't) gotten since the days of the Holocaust and E/W Germany and the Cold War and WW1/2
why the fuck would you say somethng like that only sid vicious was no one else they all wanted him to stop rotten would lock him in rooms for weeks at a time to get him off it
Off to see these guys tonight in Glasgow. Saw them play in Foress or somewhere up North of Scotland last year and they were amazing. Looking forward to it even more this time round.
one word kiwi, twat!,sex pistols classic? on your planet maybe,try lookin into the background of Dixie b4 youu get your bondage straps in a knot,these guys can play like mofo's,and hey, they kick ass live,so maybe b4 you shoot off your gob,you'll realise that its all bout havin a goodtime,you want to get with the program bud,have a brew,kickback n relax
this is really good, their new album seems more poppy, lookingfor bucks with this one, but this song is great. Going to see them for the fourth time woooot :D
John Wheeler. You have a crazier wardrobe than I do! THAT is an acheivement. Great cover. A MILLION times better than the original - didn't even like this song until now. Cheers, guys.
Hah, like the Sex Pistols are some big secret. The biggest secret about them is that they were a "Boy Band", a bunch of hacks put together by Malcolm Mclaren based on the image they had, and, more importantly, the image he could drape upon them. There was a lot that was real and vital about early punk rock, but the Sex Pistols were a joke then, and they are a joke now.
oi, leave it out lol, it doesnt matter what the managers intentions were, those 4 boys played some great music, sex pistols never took themselves seriously but then again that was the spirit of punk rock, doesnt mean they are a joke though
These guys are amazing, I've loved this song since it's release and I've loved them for about the past 6 years... But this is talent, and I love it!
