im a guitarest in a punk band. the sex pistols is one of our major influences. steve jones inspired my guitar playing and sid made me bring out the badass side of me
actually this was their shittiest show ever, but it is their most epic show off all because of all the shit that went on after and cause this show, also if you watch the last song of the gig "no fun" you can watch rotten is actually having no fun and just melts down at the ending and just messes the song as a signal to everyone that hes tired of everything
@AxlTerry94 Ramones are pretty good :) Hazel O'Connor.. Generation X... OH! check out barracuda by heart :) you'll love! lol i'm also 16 and just getting into punk.. punk is so much happier than everything else ^_^
@Gavin66627 Sid was turned up for the first 3 songs, then turned way way down then during Bodies, Steve rips Sids cord out of the amp. I have USA tour bootlegs and Sid was plugged in on all of them,some loud some low but you can still hear his bass during solo's
@eleonora1782 I will always be a big fan of Sid. It takes people like us, who appreciate his talent and greatness, to help him live on in good name. I will always love him!
@JohnnyChristttt ...I know, people who don't like Sid, or the Sex Pistols in general, are crazy in my opinion. *)) I get so tired of hearing shit about them, Sid couldn't play bass, etc., etc. They created brilliant music and a great image, and Great Rock n Roll Swindle is beautiful album, and Sid's a huge reason why!.... P. S. I love your channel- you've got really great videos, mind if i subscribe???
@eleonora1782 I agree. I suppose it's because they had the gut to be different, and state their opinions, and not pussyfoot around like the rest of society. Plus, they were jealous of Sid's good looks. :) I think he COULD play bass, and sing; he's one of my biggest bass influences (as is Glen). People who hate on the Pistols are just pointless, and jealous of Sid's/their success.
@JohnnyChristttt Thanks!! Wow, you're the first person i've heard who agrees with me completely on the Sex Pistols' brilliance. It's nice to hear of a musician who actually is influenced by Sid's bass playing. And he COULD sing- and i'm a classically trained singer, so I know. Besides that he had a great stage presence and theatrical aspect to his singing. * ))
Never Mind the Bollocks is still a breath of fresh air surrounded by the corporate stench that force feeds us pillocks like Justin T. and the GFC. Fuck me how relevant are the Sex Pistols after all these years? Fuck 'em fuck 'em all Johnny you will always be the voice of the marginalised, you said it best "There was no movement, only the sex pistols"
When EMI dropped Mariah Carey after the "Glitter" fiasco, I took the time to write her a fan letter, suggesting that she sing a cover of the Pistols' "EMI" to restart her career. She didn't write back.
@BillAbendroth ya then she married nick cannon lol lol shes a douche bag what the feck would you waste your time giving her good ideas, dumb twat of a wench
that was the funniest thing ever. as soon as lydon started singing the temptations' 'my girl' came on and i was like, wtf? then i realised, "oh yeah, i have another window open."
The metal militia will be attacking Justin Bieber's video (justin bieber baby ft. ludacris) on the FOURTH OF JULY! Assemble all fans of good music in every genre! (Jazz, Metal, Classical, Classic Rock etc.) On said date leave a comment giving your thoughts on JB, close the comment with -MM. Copy and paste this comment to all the good band videos! (Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, led zeppelin, black sabbath classical composers, jazz composers etc) Thumbs up!
What's all rubbish about Sid not able to play bass? Great job by Sid. So tight with Jones you'd think his amp was off and you couldn't hear him playing at all. Simply amazing.
@danalogue sid didnt know how to play bass at first then he stayed up for nights at a time learning to and around late '78 before he met nancy he was actually better then matlock but then the stupid cunt got him into heroin and fucked it all up
The Sex pistols were'nt about playing music proficiently. It was about getting in your/their face. Making you FEEL. Punk was about attitude. Pissing off your parents. Getting the knee-jerk reaction. Being REAL. So what if Johhny Rotten was a crummy singer, and Sid couln't play any instrument well. They came across exactly the way they should. Raw, genuine, antagonistic, anti-anything, don't take them home to dinner REAL!! PISS OFF!!!
Screw the comments about Sid this and Sid that...He was a nob! He could'nt play bass, got kicked out of Siouxsie and the banshee's because he couldn't play drums.. lol .. and it's common knowledge that his bass was not even plugged in half the time. :P
exactli bill why? lmfao, i can`t believe they were playing for a bunch of hicks in texas noless, lmfao, wtf? and then ppl will complain they played sloppy, i`d play sloppy for those ppl too, they didn`t deserve a good show
@MsSaturn3 They werent sloppy,if their was more bass it would sound fuller,I got the booteg of this gig and during god save the queen,I wanna be me sid is full blast.....Longhorn is one of the greatest gigs caught on film as far as im concerned,showed a great rock n roll band going up against the odds,the band played amazing that night
sid was too heroin addicted to be going on an american tour then. that was a very bad idea, and it not only killed the sex pistols, it killed sid too in the end.what sid needed was rehab. the rest of the band just didn`t get that sid couldn`t just not do heroin at that point, he was physically addicted to it. the whole thing was just a very bad idea, on the part of the band, they just didn`t get it! the band knew that ppl wanted to see sid on stage, so that`s why they kept him. it was money!
tate uhhh, glenn was a dick!!! lmfao, that`s why johnny got rid of him in the 1st place. sid was a nice guy, and a close friend of johnny`s so that`s who he chose to replace him. and let`s be frank, steve jones was a dick too. a total arrogant bastard, who thought he was jimi hendrix on guitar lol. who the fuck cares if sid could play? they were a punk band, not some swill led zepplin wanna be`s. punk was never about being a great musician, it was about being pissed off! and sid fit that role.
and they only turned off his bass during the american tour, because by that time, sid was so hooked on heroin, and either dope sick, or high as a kite, that he was sloppy, and played even worse than normal. it`s very very sad. sid would have gotten better on bass if it has not been for nancy cunt and heroin, but he was so young, and so ill equipped to handle the pressures of how gigantic the pistols has become by that point, it just destroyed him. i feel so sorry for sid, he was a real punk too.
mattias, yes of course bass is important lmfao, but johnny shouldn`t have had sid join the band lol, it wasn`t sid`s fault, johnny is the 1 who wanted him in the band. place the blame where there blame belongs, johnny rotten. who was also reponsible for introducing sid to nancy, huge mistake! sid didn`t have time to learn how to play bass. he got in the band, met nancy, and was completely hooked on heroin, from the 1st time he tried it, in the span of a few months. it`s not sid`s fault.
Here´s another video that shows that the bass is really important... this is for the people that dont know a s*** about music and dont hear if the bass is on or it is off...
Why would the Pistols want to put on a good show for a bunch of fucking redneck cowboys?
Yes, turn the bass off, bleed on the audience, insult them as well, etc.
The whole idea behind booking shows in these places was to cause trouble. The only bad thing here is the heroin use. Other than that, everything is spot on.
Dude, drop the stereotypes. I live right by Dallas and Sex Pistols is my second favorite band (behind Bush). Also... weren't most of their show's purposefully like this? Sid didn't know howplay bass and frequently cut himself onstage... so this performance pretty much looks like all of the band's amazing yet controversial ones. Anyway, Sex Pistols rule and I'm still hoping for that potential reunion!
@BillMcGee666 The Sex Pistols played gigs where they were not welcomed. Johnny Rotten came on stage and called the Cowboys Faggots. The cowboys started throwing hamburgers and beer cans at the band.
for the first part of the gig it is,i have this gig on record and bootleg cd,has god save the queen,i wanna be me,seventeen,new york and hes on during all of em,hes off an on during this whole gig during bodies steve unplugs him tho
they did during early and mid 77 but in later 77 and all of the 78 tour they gave sid his freedom hahaha,steve was known on occasion to turn off or unplug him and sid wouldent know till 2 songs later...should of never got rid of glen hes a great bass player and musician in general
