  • you do have to play instruments to be punk, because punk rock is music, and Sid could play but he was too fucked up to do it right

  • nobody gives a fuck if sid could play or not...sid was sid and that's enough

  • The song wasn't written about the New York Dolls. It's about Malcolm's obsession with New York City, where the Dolls were based.

  • excellent days

  • Lol at 2:02 to 2:15 with John forgetting how the lyrics go

  • I'm a bored lil fa*g*t, you give me a kiss.

    Hahahahaha....

  • has any other band who only ever made just one album ever made such a world impact??

  • poor little faggot :) haha the sex pistols fucking ruuuuuule

  • MY SONG,LOL

  • New york lIve

  • If anyone ruined the Sex Pistols it was Nancy Spungen.

  • Sid was nothing. Maybe he was only the thing who destroyed the Sex Pistols.

    Johnny is a genius, a very intelligent man, a great singer with great attitude and he doesn't need drugs to have the courage to say what he thinks. Now, in 2011 he is healthy and fine , still doing music. He's just the best and he deserves much more credit.

  • God this is good,forgotten they'd sung a song about New York, beats that Jay-Z and Ally Keys boooooring song any day.

  • FUCK The Sex Pistols! Heartbreakers>Sex Pistols

  • @Khold90 Your opinions are like your nipples. Everybody has them, but no one gives a fuck.

  • @ManlyTwig Kind of like how I don't give a fuck about your late ass comment. Just sayin' : )

  • Mioddio sid, che bono

  • Paul is the best he is cool and chill

  • I love all the pistols members, but mostly Johnny Rotten & Sid Vicious ;)

    SP forever & always :D

  • Start your day with a smile....play this every morning LOUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Man I wanna live in New York really bad. I love the Pistols anyway.

  • OMG, this is incredible

  • Sid didn't worship Hitler, he didn't worship anything dumbass.

  • @LORDGOAT1976 Except fucking Nancy. Sid did the world a favor by offing that cunt.

  • @LORDGOAT1976 sids gf was jewish

  • I think they were more relaxed on this mini tour after they had escaped england and its gutter press

  • A great video that conveys perfectly the genuine energy of the Sex Pistols. Probably not one of their most significative pieces but definitively one of my favourites. Powerful and true !

  • Sid didn't worship hitler, they wore swastikas to piss people off and sid didn't even know what it entirely meant.

  • @MsJeffersonAirplane

    im sure he did know, otherwise he wouldnt have worn it

  • sid was a fucking idiot man he worshep hitler fuck sid

    otherwise sex pistols rool

  • @ProfessorFunkilus You sir are an idiot, He did not worship Hitler, he wore that shirt to do what punks do, and thats pissing people off.

  • Note to self:

    Listen to this during sex.

    Reason: This is an eargasm

  • Fuck the USA do you remember !!!!!

  • You know what, just because Johnny Rotten sings something doesnt make it punk law, as far im concerened the whole genre was based on being an indavidual, and I think its more punk to disagree with your idol when they say something than just being a plastic sheep and agreeing with him....as much as I love the Pistols I still have enough brain power to disagree with certaine things Johnny Rotten says...so sorry to say: No dont fuck the U.S.A.

  • ANTI Capitolism. Just pointing out you are all fuckin idiots. Why dont you take over the world. OOOOhh wait isnt that what you thought the commies would do ?

    American fags

  • SID!

  • I love 'em all, what a fuckin' band!

  • poor little faggots....

  • RIP Sid, you were the best !!!! <3

  • power to the fags!!

  • the right way to play a song call problems

  • looks at recording camera .. *spits*

  • @xPenguinLover1258x The reason people hate Sid was because he stabbed his girlfriend to death. ATTITUDE!

  • Nice to see them captured in a better moment of deconstructive glory.

  • Not really Punk, isn't it? 

  •  Its so obnoxious and raw. Raw, unvarnished, unproduced explosion of originality and expression

  • according to Paul Cook, this show was at the time when Sid was determined to learn how to play, before the heroin took over. You can hear him faintly here - not a lot of polish, but he keeps a good bass line going. Actually pretty damn good for someone who probably had never picked up a bass six months before.

  • Sid is the real deal. Pure 70's "I don't give a shit" punk. Who cares if he can play. He set the stage for all others. A true icon.

  • I like them more now than  i did at the time...

    calling other really fine musicians in the peak of their creativity, ''boring old farts'' was something that put me off. It still does, when i think of it...

    But i feel more tolerant now and i even find the 55 years old mr. Lydon rather amiable and sympathetic...

    ...strange...

  • underrated song - my fav next to anarchy

  • I don't get why the hell everyone hates Sid. Since when do you have to be able to play an instrument to be punk? He couldn't play, but he had the attitude. I love Sid, and I love Johnny Rotten <3

    Sex Pistols fucking rule.

  • @xPenguinLover1258x he's no Geddy Lee, but he could hit all of the root notes - watch the san francisco gig

  • @xPenguinLover1258x Thats true, Joe Strummer couldn't play any chords on his guitar that didnt involve all 6 strings

  • @xPenguinLover1258x Sid was actually making some good progress with his bass playing. You might have some ill feelings toward Sid if you read about him. He was a piece of shit in certain respects. John doesn't get credit for being a pretty good person in a lot of ways.

  • @xPenguinLover1258x

    not everyone hates Sid. i love him. a lot of people love him

  • @xPenguinLover1258x I didn't hate sid, I hated Nancy and Malcolm. Plus Glenn never got the credit for his writing.

  • @xPenguinLover1258x its not that he couldn't play is that his bass was unplugged the whole time lol he was just there to give them an image basically.

  • @xPenguinLover1258x You couldnt had said it better, im proud to say I love Sid!! I hate those who hate them, fuck them!! I also love Johnny Rotten he is so cool and genious <3

    Happily to know there is more ppl out there who agrees with me or at least feel the same as myself:D

    Yeah they fucking rule <3

  • @xPenguinLover1258x sid copied john. if acting and emulating other people is punk then yeah he was. biggest mistake they made getting rid of glen.

  • @xPenguinLover1258x because punk rock rock is music and thats what matters, i dont hate sid i admire him, a lot, but the awsomeness of the sex pistols doesnt come from their cloaths or attitude, it comes from the amazing punk rock

  • @xPenguinLover1258x the point that people are kinda pissed about is punk is a music and he just pretended to play yeah u dont gotta be good but u still gotta play other wise your just an icon

  • @xPenguinLover1258x beacause you cant be in a band as a heroin addicted murderer who cant play

  • @xPenguinLover1258x Wasn't that what PUNK was all about - to be the opposite of what the system wanted us to be? Look at how the hair went - to Mowhawk's & colored hair - a counterculture that sought out this music, even though the mainstream radio stations wouldn't play it - a very short lived burst of creativity - was great - attitude - torn clothing.

  • @xPenguinLover1258x like my dad said, Sid vicious just looked cool

  • @xPenguinLover1258x He could play, Him & his girlfriend were in a hotel together, she went to sleep but Sid stayed up with a Ramones album and a bass guitar. When she woke up Sid could play.

  • Johny is screaming poetry to your fat ears, can you dig it?

  • You're telling me 'shut your mouth'

    If I wasn't kissing, you wouldn't be around

    You talk about faggots, little moma's boy

    You sit at home, you got a chaperone

    You need an escort to take a piss

    He holds your hand and he shakes your dick

    You're so pretty, suburban kitty

    You think you're gonna change, rearrange your city?

    poor little london boys

  • haha fyfan va kul min farsa kanske finns i publiken. och dem försöker verka så himla vuxna nu.

  • Good Song Sex Pistols Never Die !!!!! Never

  • The attention they got back then, and the coverage they still get over thirty years on is all the proof you need to think "they were one of the greatest rock bands ever".

  • Sid may have killed his girlfriend, been a cokehead and shocked people with the nazi shit but he was definitly cool as fuck. He was supposed to have been really giddy and childish before all the punk shit, shame how twisted he ended up. R.I.P

  • @Esc8TheF8te im not defending Sid by this comment, im saying the cold facts. Sid was WAY to nice and loving to murder someone. Im not saying he didnt, i just personally dont think he did

  • @PBANDSNOW I've seen a few caring people turn into complete arseholes after taking drugs, they try to rob shit off you, borrow money, sell things they don't own. Sid was a junkie, thats a cold fact. The way someone is emotionally inclined is not a fact, remember the cab driver a few months back who shot shitloads of people with a shotgun? He was thought to be a nice quiet guy >.< I also don't believe Sid did it, not because of how he was just because i remember him for being cool not a murderer.

  • @Esc8TheF8te yes i remember that, and yes sid was a junkie, but the only proof that sid did it was that he was a junkie, and that he was with her. Thats it, even Nancies mother thinks sid is innocent, and she was against him at first, than she though about it and realized that even if Sid was a junkie, he still couldnt have done that.

  • @PBANDSNOW I don't want to be the guy posting up proof of why its true Sid killed Nancy...on a pistols video LOL Evidence pointing at him doing it (his knife, arguements etc.) and some theories defending him too. I dont know whats true BUT i know he'll never be forgotten. Also i see Clash on your page! XD Did you listen to any of Strummers later stuff? my dad showed me johnny appleseed the other night, great fucking tune!

  • @Esc8TheF8te ya, i like most of the new stuff, like coma girl and redemption song. He`s just an alround great performer

  • @Esc8TheF8te they for real dont kno be cuz it could have been the people that they got the heroin from

  • @Esc8TheF8te he wuz not a coke head he wuz shootin heroin

  • go sid! i got my 1st cd when im 13!

  • :29 he say's 'cheech and chong'.

  • @Eidelmania cheese and chalk.

  • classic of the punk  I LOVE ANARCHY IN DE UK

  • only band that sounds just as good live as when in the recording studio

  • @cronker78 fuck you, really shut the fuck up, your lucky hes not alive or hed kick your ass

  • @LOSEALLFOR1LOVE cronker is right. And Sid could never kick anyone's ass, he was beat up and thrown overboard on the Jubilee by Joan Jet's female drummer.

  • @Eidelmania but there is a video with the sex pistols playing and sid hit som 1 wit his bass hella hard

  • Every band that calls themselves punk doesnt deserve to smell the SEX PISTOLS shit.......Fuck the whole world.

  • I LOVE HOW SID NEVER GAVE A FUCK ABOUT WHAT PPL THOUGHT, HAHAHHA look at how he FUCKS AROUND WITH THE BASS HAHAHAHAH HES NOT EVEN WITH IT !!!! LOVE SIDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

  • @Dracazoe was he ever plugged in

  • hmzmh i really want to find a cool guy who wants to chat with me

  • @HildaBennett1 no one cares piss off!

  • I have to say sid and johnny were pretty hot back in the day

  • fucking awsome!!

  • the band that put out 1 fucking album - argueable the best ever

  • sounds great

  • i remember........

    match us, can't catch us

    but still, that guy was built

  • oh sex!!!! i love your pistols!!!!!! i want d some sex....with jhonny rotten!

  • the Band on good form, good footage, thanks.

  • forever junky sid..

  • Was Johnny Thunders' "Little London Boy" a retort to this?

  • yes

  • Thanks Tony,

  • "new york" is pretty ironic because the pistols were way influenced by the dolls. in fact i remember seeing steve jones in an interview talking about how much thunders influenced him- down to his stage presence. i have also seen pics of sid and thunders hanging out. maybe it was all tongue in cheek. who knows? i guess it was the precursor to rappers dissing each other in songs.

  • @tonyfrombalt i think its because rotten hated them but the pistols were just trying to cause outrage because sid liked and so did jones so its just rottens touch here

  • el mejor grupo del mundo!!

  • fuck the usa

    the pistols rules.!!!

  • Don't get mad....you know its true.

  • @BonzoGoesToMexico The only reason Johnny wrote this song is cause he was intimidated by the Heartbreakers......you can always count on johnny to attack things he is intimidated by.

  • @BonzoGoesToMexico Me neither and i also love both Sid & Johnny equal i wouldnt choose between them!!

  • why are you down thumming him hes right fuckheads`

  • Thank you...one person in the room, who is intelligent.

  • dude, do ur homework before making shit comments

  • What do you mean " Do your homework"? Go ahead and school me. I dare you.

  • you make me laugh

  • Thank you.

  • Fuck yea!, Sex Pistols rule!

  • title " Keep yer mouth shut" ? --thanx for the song post- these guys are great !

  • wow It's great

  • Fucking awesome song....

  • people who say the Pistols can't play are fucking stupid.

    I saw an interview once with Pete Townsend and he said this was the band he wanted to join.

  • john said these were some of thE best shows they EVER did in SWEDEN...!!!

  • Sid spitting on the camera lens is CLASSIC!

  • Dopo di loro il nulla..

  • sid was just there to make the band look cool thats about it lol.. kinda funny

  • No mikemarsh, Sid wasn't there to make "the band look cool", the band didn't give a shit about "looking cool". Sid was there because Glen and John didn't get along and Glen left the band, so John thought it would a good idea to bring Sid into it as he was his best mate. That's the truth, the rest is rubbish.

  • fuck ya, Sid's the only junky in the whole band!

  • thats what i said...sids the only one with any attitude

  • your a fucking knob johnny rotten was the band. if it werent for him sid wouldnt have been in the band. whos realy punk anyway? theirs no such thing.

  • i live in sweden!

  • Nice for you, wanker!

  • the sex pistols had something nobody else will ever had they had attidute and a message and well i think johnny rotten sang like he did on purpose like well fuck this i dont have to try to sing good and hes still good that takes some talent.

  • Fuck Ya...This is totally bitchin...Pistols rule!!!!

  • still the best...even after 30+ years seems lik yesterday

  • Johnny Rotten, a true punk god

  • love it!

  • You got to love Sex Pistols and Johnny's accent!!!!

    It's awesome!!!!!!

  • Johnny Rotten is the man not Sid

  • accept drinking and fighting Sid is fucking useless.

    the crackwhore nancy too.

  • fuck nancy blonde junky fuck but.... r.i.p sid who caresvif he could paly or not it was punk rock 70's to be honest not many ppl could play so give it a rest cunts. and if any nerds wanna disagree uve got my profile. oh and i no my spellin is bad im quite mortal so fuck off

  • Beware he is an internet tough guy. i agree with his points, but you come off as a douche.

  • RIP

    Sid & Nancy

  • Grande Sid!

  • sid vicious the best

  • sid is the man, nancy spungen was the fucking death of sid. if that crazy junkie bitch didn't come into his life who knows what would have happened. and sid did not kill her either. sex pistols are just fuckin classic and this def one of their couple best songs!

  • This was in my opinion their toughest song, that three cord intro, devastating

  • Today could be 52... Happy birthday, Sid...! Wherever you are... ^^

    I love you...

  • My hearth is Rotten!!!

    Il mio cuore è Marcio

  • i love johnny

  • Never mind the bollocks is ONE of a very few albums that mean something in the history of rock and roll.

    AND the original line up are able to rock!

  • If you hate the Sex Pistols, you DON'T NEED TO BREAK THE DICKS AT US!!! We love they and you MUST DISAPPEAR OR I KICK YOUR ASS, FUCKING BASTARD!!!

  • ROck and Punk are DIFFERENT yOR A IDIOT

  • HAHAHA!!

    You are idiot! Punk is pure ROCK AND ROLL!!!

  • I love SEX PISTOLS!!!... I LOVE MY KING SID!!! ... He has for sure a really, really sexy back...!! Ihihihih...

  • punk always was fashion. it came from fashion and a fashion uniform killed punk...

  • join my club !

  • OH MY GOSH SID! he was sooo fit! fucking hell lol

  • I don't get why people constantly bash on the Sex Pistols in these comments... If you don't like em them shut the hell up and go comment somewhere else shitheads.

    SEX PISTOLS!!

  • can't keep eyes off sids sexy torso:) luv johns attitude

  • This is what PUNK ROCK is all about!

  • What a great performance!

  • The gangstas of today have made a marginal contribution to our culture. The Pistols didn't do anything really new musically (Chuck Berry?, simple rock?, arrogance?), but they changed our fashion to a large degree!

  • hey dumsfrie, what are you hi? sex pistols changed the face of rock music, besides James Dean was queer!

  • I never thought I would say this but the PIstols just weren't that good. Got kinda the James Dean treatment i think and were made legends simply cause they were not around that long and there was a little death.

  • yeah john lyndon had a great attitude, "FUCK THE ESTABLISHMENT ill advertise butter instead" the only decent thing about the sex pistols was sid and even he couldnt play

  • fuck you
