By the time the greatest rock and roll swindle",was released the pistols were over. mr rotten had left .sid was off doing what he did best jones and cook were the only two trying to do something with mcclaren..Brazil and stuff!!!
disco was taking over the music scene at the time...hence the black arabs...mcclaren would hold parties with the disco crowd and scene and leave sid and jonny locked outside.Alot of the tracks on the album are just fillins nothing new recorded by the band. o
@TheTimDineen shows what you know...it's a 'tude dude. Nothing more nothing less, not clothing, not any particular style. It's all about the 'tude. But what would I know I've only been listening to punk for over 30 years.
Dont know why but there were two different Great RockNRoll swindle albums versions released and this montage was on only one of those. I think one version was the cleaned up version???? Perhaps cleaned up to reach the sweet and innocent, mainstream disco prom queens???
Anybody who doesn't like this has no sense of humor. It's a disco medley of Sex Pistols songs! It's bloody fucking brilliant, and if you disagree, you're just not smart enough to get the joke.
@sambatterson this is not the sex pistols. the group is called 'the black arabs', the track is called 'black arabs' and it's on the double LP 'the great rock and roll swindle' by 'the sex pistols'.
ok i don't give a shit if this is in the great rock n' roll swindle album( its a little bit funny), we all know that after san francisco, the pistols were done, they make their own way with their talents. malcolm was just a leech, who wants to be a "artist", soo to all the suckers of malcolm mclaren fuck up...
Rock-n-Roll Swindle. The Pistol themselves sucked shit. They WERE just Malcolms tool... fucking Johnny and the others would have never seen the light of day if it weren't for Malcolm...
this was not the sex pistols. john lydon REFUSED to participate in this project. it was released under the sex pistols name but was performed FUCKING AWFULLY by other mindless individuals
Yes, this song has really nothing to do with the REAL Sex Pistols. Only partly seen on "The Greatest R"R Swindle" movie. And on the soundtrack record named so too.
I finally was very proud to see The Original Sex Pistols - live in Helsinki, Finland, after waiting 30 years. 23.8.2008
This is the one thing that is a let down on the film , The Great Rock N Roll Swindle . Though you do see the Black Arabs on what is Lesson Five , instead of hearing this form start to finish as you do on the album , it is shown in bits and pieces . Pitty that . Really good this .
Hate meadlies as a rule , but this is brilliant . Despite being a song meadly , it sounds more like just one proper song . Pitty it is not the actual Black Arabs being shown
que buenos músicos y que originales,merece la pena escuchar este popurri de versiones que hace éste poco conocido grupo.A!!!!!, se me olvidaba!!!!.Muerte a los presidentes, a todos!!!!!!!!Anarchy!!!!!!
This is the sex pistols, while recording the great rock and roll swindle they had a great time playing around with their tracks, they decided to take the crap out of disco by doing this medly version in disco style, it was often played at discos and the crowd didnt even know it was the pistols,,
its not the Sex Pistols, its just some shit disco outfit doing a compilation of pistols tracks for the Swindle film, you didnt think that was the pistols playing did you?
really? it makes me wanna throw up and kill all those bloated fuckers who are still alive who call themselves the sex pistols. it was only about the money with them, still is.
at least sid was smart and died young like a true punk, not like a fucking sellout.
I grew up in the UK in the 70's....it was pretty shit but at least we had a good choice of top bands....today its ten times as shitty and no good music! Check out Steve Jones tour of London...
People who say they'll a punk are kidding themselves dressing up and listening to music means shit, if punk means owt it means doing want you want regardless of what others say. Trainspotters are 'Punks' cos they do what they want regardless, they don't do what is concieved by the masses as cool, but they know its the masses who know shit. Do what you want and that is Punk!
You want Punk?? You Fucking want PUNK?????? Psycho by the Sonics..Monk Time by The Monks...You're Gonna Miss me by the 13th floor elevators..Strychnine by the Sonics...I got more but this is a start...Yhea and this was all BEFORE 1969 The Stooges 1st album. Punk is just a word..Punk is Just a Label...If you like the music...If it makes U dance well Fuck Art...Let's Dance!!!
