?!?!?! What the fuck? The Sex Pistols are to punk what jesus is to Christians, or Muhamid is to Muslims, or whatever is to whatever....

sex pistols are to punk what jesus is to islam - an embarrassing outdated footnote that expanded way beyond its significance.

Not sure,but Sid Vicious is definitely playing bass.

who cares about sid vicious, he had nothing at all to do with the entire popular appeal of the band. give me that guy that looks like a really old deko-weeler hybrid and those other lads any day.

 

[Willie Willions]

Yeah, but how many of you were actually there back in the day - for The Sex Pistols first reformation gig?

 

[the strange guy]

I was. July 96.
The cunts cancelled.

 

[RSJ]

Same here. Glad they did though, the finsbury park gig that were on the radio was pretty dodge, though the later one on telly from the Phoenix festival was pretty good.

haha!!! I had a ticket for the belfast gig

 

[Janer]

I had one for the Dublin gig, the only consolation was I got one of those massive posters advertising the gig.

 

[PiperX]

i saw a video of the sex pistols playing in 2004.


yucky yuck yuck


really like...

You have a point there. I love them, however I can imagine seeing them back in 76' in the roxy supported by The Clash and The Damned, will be a far cry from seeing them in a field in Offally in 2008! However, even if there're one-tenth of what I imagine those gigs were like back in the day, then it'll be worth it.

Sex Pistols are the best manufactured boy band to ever swear on the telly.

If they were a boy band, then I fuck'in love boy bands.

Are you not over-stating it there a tad.
For right or for wrong it's often quoted 'Never Mind the Bollocks' is up there with other albums that supposingly defines a generation - 'Sergeant Piper Lonely Hearts' in the 60's, 'Appetite for Destruction' in the late 80's/90's, and 'Nevermind' in the 90's.

Anyway, I'm off to listen to Pretty Vancant

 

[broken arm]

yeah like christianity has defined nations, who also all enthusiastically missed the point.

You're getting way too deep into this man....here, I'll turn up Pretty Vacant for you

 

[nooleen]

i can't hear it, i've already got the Classic Rock station turned up to 11. i think i've gave away my sex pistols records to my 10 year old neighbour who wants to know where the designs for her topshop tights came from, anyway.

...ahhh jaysus, don't be like that. We're all buddies here...the common love of punk bonds us together as brothers, etc. etc.
