Great stuff, 2 x very underrated musicians. Jones' guitar sound on NMTB is killer- PC is a great, very tight drummer. Shame thePistols don't get the credit they deserve forbeing a great rockn roll band
they have received quite a bit of recognition though. from every rock magazine and every best album list and even were supposed to be inducted to the rock and roll hall of fame....
They refused to come to the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame thing because they thought it was stupid. And, since it is stupid... they're smarter than people think.
Joseph Scott yeah that was awesome...but why would they accept a reward from the industry that either scoffed at them or took atvantage of them when they were practically kids? it was the only thing that made sense honestly.
Fascinating stuff. They're only in their early 20's. Just a couple of young blokes doing what young blokes do. Amazing to remember all the fuss they generated. Strange times ...
Sex Pistols. The Clash. Souixe and the Banshees. The Damned. All of these guys are legends. So much influence on the times after. To anyone who wonders exactly the influence? Imagine a grey landscape. Boring, nothing going on. The days bleeding into each other. Now fast forward to the release of Never Mind the Bollocks, and everything has changed. The days no longer bled into each other, there was an opportunity at every second. Clothes, attitude, demeanor, everything changed. That's what it was like. You don't know what I'm talking about? Unless you also witnessed Nirvana, you can never know. Pity
This was posted by someone else a while ago but just taken down. Glad to see it again. Always refreshing to see and hear Paul and Steve instead of Rotten gabbing away. Malcolm McLaren can be seen in a trench coat in the background. The boys were given cans of Foster's lager by the interviewer.
Typical London youths of the day, just out of their teens, in love with rock music, not rock'n'rollers at all. Cook, completely natural for the most part. Jones, acting surly for the cameras to cover his awkwardness.
If you were around in the mid-seventies, young people in the UK who were into rock music were en masse identifiable by their look and the bands they followed. Long hair, flared jeans, denim shirts, that sort of thing. If you were in a band and considered yourself a rock 'n' roller it would all be Chuck Berry and the Stones, especially Keith Richards, whose style and mannerisms were the pinnacle of attainment for any self-respecting rock prospect. Jones and Cook were certainly into rock, but they were poorly educated lower working class misfits who were far from typical rock 'n' roll material. Until the appearance of Malcolm McLaren and later on Johnny Rotten in their lives put their talents to good use.
That's cool that Cookie's mom liked No Fun the best and stuck up for him and the band. I recall reading, back in the day, that Rotten lived at the Cook's home for a bit.
These guys are pretty shy, believe it or not. Oh course, they're well aware that Johnny's interviews with the press are some of the best, and had a lot to do with building up the image of the band, and punk rock in general.
These two played almost all the instruments on Never Mind The Bollocks. Typical musicians: what they really know how to do and would rather be doing is making music.
@@johnnyblythe5375 Quite true. Not sure about Cookie, but I know Steve was shy back then. ***** Looking at the video again, I have to agree with you more than with my own original comment. Steve's looking at him with a "Can you believe this stupid c*nt?" sort of expression. Seems like Paul can't look back at him or he'll bust out laughing, which is what Steve wants anyway. What stands out now (to me) is how polite they are, total opposite of John.
He says "does she" not "doesn't", but yeh he was illiterate until the 90's aswell as talking like every other lad in london at that time and btw your other comment is wrong aswell so your on a roll son.
thestr8person yeah* 90s* as well* London* as well* you're* _comma needed between roll and son._ Moreover, the latter comment is subjective, so how can subjectivity be wrong? You're on a mega-roll, son.
I was about to say, I first watched this around that age, but now that I’m 30, he looks older than me now. I reckon he had a pretty stressful childhood. I haven’t read Lonely Boy, but some bad shit was going down for sure. I think it’s why people generally look older in pre-1950 photos-stress.
funny watching this now,Steve Jones comes across as the nicest chap on his radio programme.....great album thoughbut they are probably just playing the punk role.....they all loved prog rock haha
I like the way Jones was a natural boot boy, the working class flares wearing long haired bovver booted predecessors of punks in the UK who seem to have been written out of youth culture history yet it was their pent up aggression that formed the basis and energy of UK punk though the intellectual and fashion elements which were mainly the contribution of middle class types apart from Lydon's genius of course, that tends to dominate the historical perspective. Hardly surprising!
I like to imagine these two prior to filming the interview. Primping themselves, putting on makeup, trying on outfits, listening to music with a television on, getting loaded.
we need the sid and john footage unno why the fuck dudes not releasing it all these gems should be realesed considering half the ppl who where around then are dead or dying would prob love to see it
Fosters in a steel can and probly warm.... yuk @ 7. 40 the Fosters burp ha ha yuk ... Molly sounds ok as I remember him.. warm Fosters guaranteed to give a headache.
The Pistols were just having fun when they were kids in a rock band..Johnny like to be the anti establishment pissed off guy..Steve was like the little troublemaker.. John Matlock was the guy who really didn't fit in..Paul was the guy who went along for the ride, and being the kick ass drummer. And those guys still try to play up those parts for the fun of it to this day..Oh yeah..And Sid tried to be the Lou Reed type junkie kind of rock star, but he was no Lou Reed..Lou was a street smart New Yorker like me, and wasn't going to die for it..They invite Sid into a band that were about to break big without any bass playing talent, who was Johnny's friend, and really did look the part..And instead of learning the bass properly, and getting rid of his junkie girlfriend, and thanking God he was in this great band..He decided to be Lou Reed, or Iggy Pop in two years flat, and he couldn't pull it off, so he died..They should have gotten a real Punk bass player at that critical moment, and I bet they would have made a few more great albums like Kurt Cobain did before he decided to be an idiot and die on his band, wife and baby, after he got on top of the world in the biggest band around..The Pistols really needed a guy at that exact moment to get it together before it was too late..So Sid dragged them down..He should have remained a fan and he might be alive today..I did Heroin for like 15yrs from 1985 to 2000..It really was bullshit..After a few months you're just trying not to be sick every day..You can't work a job like that, especially a job like a kick ass rock band..These fuckers don't get it..Kurt Cobain Nirvana, Scott Wieland Stone Temple Pilots, , Shannon Hoon Blind Melon, , Layne Staley Alice In Chains, Chris Cornell Soundgarden, All the lead singers from some of the first great Grunge bands dead (Except Eddie Vedder) from like drug related bullshit..My girlfriend said, 'Well they had a lot of money for tons of drugs'. I told her I had enough money everyday to kill myself on dope..You can die on $20, $40 $100 worth of that stuff every day..And every junkie got that type of money...And Paul Cook remained cool for decades and decades..That's my take on all of it being as old as The Pistols were in 1977/78 and watching it all happen..I may be wrong. Let me know.. frankny64yroldwhitekid rockfan PS I love Kurt, and all those guys and their music, and Sid was cool, and God bless them all..But these motherfuckers were no Lou Reed or Iggy Pop, or even Johnny Thunders..lol
Steve Jones is just so fuckin cool!!!
Is it just me or does it feel like Paul Cook was tha most well-spoken & calm out of the Pistols?
Bluefirefoley After Glen left, definitely.
Frijolero18 he also had great hair
Bluefirefoley I`m not sure,
I have thought that?
You can tell that Steve is more ????????
Bluefirefoley Nope,. that was Rotten, for sure
heavytom89 What the fuck, they were just being themselves.
Hahaha
Interviewer - How did your parents feel?
Steve - I aint seen me parents in fuckin 4 years hahaa
cook seems brad pitt here
Great stuff, 2 x very underrated musicians. Jones' guitar sound on NMTB is killer- PC is a great, very tight drummer. Shame thePistols don't get the credit they deserve forbeing a great rockn roll band

fuck , every time i hear steve , i hear "you dirty fucker , you dirty old man !" deep down inside me ^^
square-magic 'Wot a fuckin' rotter' Ha Ha!
STEVE=LEGEND!!!!!!
not arf
Steve Jones making bird sounds at 1:18
Jillian Adams i wouldn't have noticed that lol
Sex Pistols. The Clash. Souixe and the Banshees. The Damned.

That's how it was
We're just ourselves, if people don't like it, tough! Sums up punk rock.
Jones is f**kin' hammered in that interview.
but he still talks like that XD
He's hammered and smoked up, trust me.

"not rock'n'rollers at all" Great rock and roll musicians both of them. _Music_ is an actual thing you know.
If you were around in the mid-seventies, young people in the UK who were into rock music were en masse identifiable by their look and the bands they followed. Long hair, flared jeans, denim shirts, that sort of thing. If you were in a band and considered yourself a rock 'n' roller it would all be Chuck Berry and the Stones, especially Keith Richards, whose style and mannerisms were the pinnacle of attainment for any self-respecting rock prospect.

no I think he was just drunk
they're colour co-ordinated
"people upset us and we do what we can to get on their nerves" 5:45 and such great delivery
they're fucking 21 and 22
That's cool that Cookie's mom liked No Fun the best and stuck up for him and the band. I recall reading, back in the day, that Rotten lived at the Cook's home for a bit.
Jonesy, even burping back then 😂
Johnny Rotten- "Steve got a perm and unfortunately it became permanent"
These guys are pretty shy, believe it or not. Oh course, they're well aware that Johnny's interviews with the press are some of the best, and had a lot to do with building up the image of the band, and punk rock in general.
They re just bad talkers unlike Rotten.Rotten really knew how to talk, and still do.
These two played almost all the instruments on Never Mind The Bollocks. Typical musicians: what they really know how to do and would rather be doing is making music.
he's gotten obnoxious over the years
Richie B They’re just young and bored being asked the same questions over and over.

fuck off with your pedantic bullshit
Rowan Leaf Nah, how about you shut the fuck up and quit your bitching.
Steve is thinking how he can steal the camera.
I love his sly little winks. After all is said and done, I think he's just a teddy bear.
Steve Jones is only 22 here, he looks way older. He'd done a lot by that age though, more than some people do in a lifetime.
I was about to say, I first watched this around that age, but now that I’m 30, he looks older than me now. I reckon he had a pretty stressful childhood. I haven’t read Lonely Boy, but some bad shit was going down for sure. I think it’s why people generally look older in pre-1950 photos-stress.
And to think, they were done as a band 2 months later. Shame. Great band.
Maclaren can be seen creeping around in the background - from 10:31
What a creep lol
funny watching this now,Steve Jones comes across as the nicest chap on his radio programme.....great album thoughbut they are probably just playing the punk role.....they all loved prog rock haha
these two are just adorable :)
Steve’s speaking has come a long way.
Good old Jonesy, drunk as a skunk. Well done to Paul for holding it together.
Cookie’s mom sounds cool as hell.
I like the way Jones was a natural boot boy, the working class flares wearing long haired bovver booted predecessors of punks in the UK who seem to have been written out of youth culture history yet it was their pent up aggression that formed the basis and energy of UK punk though the intellectual and fashion elements which were mainly the contribution of middle class types apart from Lydon's genius of course, that tends to dominate the historical perspective.

.ha ha…’I wish I could say the same.. (about you)..lol…Cookie being funny. I think they thought Molly was OK
I wonder if Danny is Ronnie Biggs
They are so cute! Love them.
Steve Jones is like a character out of a Jean Genet book
Heh. I've read The Thief's Journal and i know what you mean.
The guy had to throw in 150 questions with too much trivia in 15 min. Those guys took it all in stride for a pair of pretty vacant geezers.
Steve Jones guitar is the sound of Pie mash and liquor. Londoners.
Pretty cool.. interviewer could have have asked more about their influences.. ie iggy, dolls, kinks etc... other than that, good bit o banter :)
is steve wearing make up?
i watched this when i was younger and i thought Steve was an inarticulate delinquent but now i realize he was just drunk as fuck lol
I like to imagine these two prior to filming the interview. Primping themselves, putting on makeup, trying on outfits, listening to music with a television on, getting loaded.
All I want to do is climb through my monitor and drop out in that courtyard in 1977 so I can go boozing with these guys.
gawd how does hot topic stuff get here
You know..."marketing".
Before the interview they’d probably just nicked a car. Nearer to the truth
we need the sid and john footage unno why the fuck dudes not releasing it all these gems should be realesed considering half the ppl who where around then are dead or dying would prob love to see it
Jones f’ing freezing 🥶 out here 🤣
Hermoso steve 😘😍😗😏
Paul Cook took all the Pistols craziness in stride!
Great work guys.
Fantastic! First time i see That interview!! Thanxxxxxx
Cookie and Jonesy. Legends!
Hahahahaha Steve all fidgety and irritated
Total honesty.❤
Fosters in a steel can and probly warm.... yuk @ 7. 40 the Fosters burp ha ha yuk ... Molly sounds ok as I remember him.. warm Fosters guaranteed to give a headache.
Steve Jones is a pro smoker!!
Just 2 months before they all knocked it on the head.
Are those sparrows, twittering in the bushes? Bloody hell - don't see those in London, now!
True punk rockers.
ROLLA KOSTA: They where actors dude, and limited musicians.

9:30 after having fun saying hi to Danny the Aussie on the run and the interviewer goes: back to the music.. and Paul "ooooh fffuck"
Steve trying to act "cool" for the camera is bloody hilarious!
1:24 steve, the fuck did you just do 🤨🤨 or more importantly, how?
looks like it was snowing in Australia
This was in the UK.
Malcolm Mclaren 10:35?
yep, I think this was in Denmark street
Interview with Ian "Molly" Meldrum, Australian host of" Countdown" TV rock show.
Dont get me wrong, Paul Cook is fucked up as well. lol
It must take a lot of energy to pretend not to give a fuck
Jonesy has always been the funny one
His deadpan humour's great
Malcolm Rip in the backgound great interview and upload.
Haha Steve Jones is ripped out of his damn mind
Who thinks Paul is hot?
Drinking , farting , burping , swearing , they talk like there’s a firing squad pointing at them . This wiz just normal back then .
Unpleasant
brad pitt?
Love it - fame: don't give a fuck

You are right about Sid. To be fair Steve was a great guitarist.
@@divergencefilms Steve was one of the greatest guitarists ever.
And here you see mclaren sneaking into an interview
