The Great Rock n Roll Swindle

[mistermassive1]

Maybe it's this music that has me thinking the way I do. Too bad for the "gang rap, R&B" crowd who worship money and luxury just like the elites that KEEP THEM DOWN! Yup, nothing like worshiping the God of misery and not fighting back with music (it's a start).

[fedtemis]

That kid was better than rotten!

[gr0fozije7]

Can anyone please tell me what exac. this guy is speaking for J.Rotten when he speaks about all people from the last minute of the song??

[nirvanafan91ify]

[Sasaphrass23]

Somebody answer my question....why is Sid drumming? And how come he looks better at that then bass?(:

[MrScrumpbee]

@Sasaphrass23 Steve is also drumming at one point with Paul on the guitar.They are just messing around.Someone may correct me but I once read that Sid played drums for one gig with a band called The Flowers of Romance with Siouxie (later of the Banshees) on lead vocals.The gig was stopped after Sid threw a glass into the audience and blinded a young girl in one eye.

[0mgwtfbbq21]

Haven't seen this for years. The Swindle was indeed the final nail in the coffin but this is still a great vid.

[BritAU2TH]

If the pretend bands of today like Oasis, Xfactor products, etc think they have attitude, they better take a long look at themselves...they have fuck all compared with the sex pistols...Music Died in the early 80's as far as i'm concerned.

[qhacesCHE]

[punksnotdead543]

I liked the very first singer the best.

[verfyth]

johnny rotten now selling butter on uk tv ...what a cunt

[tomnackom3]

like he cares what you think..

[cryptsub]

This audition was supposedly to find a replacement for J Rotten. The "winner" was the wanker Tenpole Tudor. Most of the rest of the singers are Johnny clones.

Malcolm Maclaren - what a cunt.

[Soldat80]

Remins me of the chants of the foreign legion. No wonder, cause they coppied most of it from the germans of WW2.

[Gatakumo]

this shoudl be in rock band!!! NOT that would be selling out

[RebelliousPunk77]

Fuck forever.

[jdupnrth]

SO GREAT! BEST.

[kronoscosmicthrone]

could anyone tell me what bass sids using in this video?

[jhbanner]

Sid is plying a Rickenbacker.

[FORDCOUNTRY7885]

@jhbanner

Well, Sid is HOLDING a Rickenbacker. Whether or not he was actually PLAYING it is entirely another story.

(Odds are it was really either Steve jones or Andy Allen playing it)

[ikickuhead]

this was a kind of singer audition.... rotten leaves the pistols in 78.

ROD STEWARD GONNA KISS MY BALLS

[Wolfenfang]

Fucking Rocking Yeah !! Love the lyrics - "Ian Dury Company Fraud, Mick Jagger White Nigger, David Bowie is a Fucking Cunt"...... LOL !!!!!!!!!!!!

[brooklynkoehn]

[Markko144]

[YourSuicidalPancake]

Splitshanx,Jonny Rotten wasn't even in this video!!!

[rocker2009uk]

the time is right to do it now...

[Heavymetalpunker92x]

thats why these kids doing to day, its about 92 prosent who listening to rap or pop, and there are we 8 prosent who listening to punk and heavy metal and real music! god i wish i lived in the 70s and the 80s! good times, never turn back! but the memories are there left! :)

[Lennonish]

heavy metal is NOT real music. heavy metal is shit

[PFMproductions]

You dont believe that 8% crap are you. Theres ALOT more people listening to real music, even though the majority is manufactured. more like 30 - 40 percent listening to real stuff.

[PunkShoulder]

PUNK is real music

[thebong1]

we love pistols forever

[juliosp5]

[KJRolling]

This brilliant tune is featured on January the 22nd of the book 'The Song For Today' by Jimmie Oliver.

[SteveResin]

The time is right to fuck it up... they should have stuck with Tenpole. Would have been amazing.

[Hollandia777]

There's nothing to listen after these hot punk 70's...Guitars are just FUCKING GREAT

[Rockdear]

I just love it..how much reason have those men.. fckin great

[ballynafeighbluedog]

[ziggyrotten]

I hate the idea of them trying to say some kid could be just as good as johnny and it seems like every kid in this video is trying to act like johnny instead of just being them self's "anyone can be a sex pistol" looks more like there trying to say "anyone can be johnny" and thats rubbish.

[christophe76382]

People said we couldn't play The called us foul-mothed yobs But the only notes that really count Are the ones that come in wads They all drowned when the air turned blue 'Cos we didn't give a toss Filthy lucre, ain't nothing new But we all get cash from the chaos The time is right to do it now The greatest rock'n'roll swindle The time is right to do it now !!!!!!!!!!

[illhaveadouble]

I love to see Sid laughing at Eddie (around 1.00)

[ligbrus]

yess, he's so cute there

[illhaveadouble]

It was made in 1980

[abigbutt]

Ten Pole Tudor...was awesome in this video!

[SexPistolsLuver]

[greasygloves]

1978/79 I think.
