Sid's problem with the bass was not to learn to play it, but to know how to tune it. He didn´t know how to tune it and that's why sometimes the notes sound out of tune.
very clearly the end of 70's punk rock, John Lydon is amazing in this concert. He's had enough, he made that clear with the awesome Public Image first record.
I've only recently realized this was a real song, being about abortion & all. I'm going to play it on an acoustic guitar and sing it as well as Johnny does here.
the sex pistols are awesome the songs are brilliant jones is a great guitar player he is so accurate in power chords-fast short solos-short arrangements-power chords again probably the best band with only one guitar in his line up.but the best that jones have is a good chord progression the EMI part that have the lirycs "too many people..."have a change that i found completely amazing.i also love s jones tone
Great to see Sid actually give a good musical performance here. I honestly think he could have been a capable bassist it's just that he didn't care enough about it and was smacked out of his mind a lot of the time.
i thought sid couldn`t play bass...he sounded ok at the end of bodies when you could hear him. this track was the typical sex pistols offering...hated by the establishment and loved by the fans...sid looked the part...every parents nightmare.
It was a good gig I got it on live and loud bootleg which has extra cheers and sounds different big upgrade on the sound 1989 I bought it it was the first bootleg semi legal as it was sold in the record shops
This was the precursor to all the really great metal bands that came out after the sex pistols, motorhead, maiden, metallica, anthrax, etc., they burned bright, but to quickly
I thought it was from the sweden tours or spots at the time then realised a few years later it was winterland it did nothave no fun on.but on the back cover there were pictures from Lee Wood book day by day which is a great book .and a great write up from a posh newspaper
Sid did struggle at times but sounds good in parts winterland closed down in 1978 oct time shame it was part of the pistol history seen them six times on reunion tours amazing and met John and Glen both in the uk in leicester
They always said that Sid could not play bass. THERE'S SID VICIOUS RIGHT? And he appears to play the bass guitar just fine! You can talk about musicianship, or the lack of it all you want. It's the song that is great. And Johnny Lydon is not even pro-life. It's just real life. IMHO
The Sex Pistols, What a great band what they lack in musical talent they more than make up with their angst distain and anger. Nevermind The Bollocks Here’s The Sex Pistols is one of the most important records in rock history. Rotten sang with such raw emotion, Jones riff genius, Sid a fabulous disaster could have been great, Cookie terribly underrated. What they did in 2 short years will be remembered for ever and No,John I don’t feel I was cheated what you gave us is priceless.
Sid's playing isn't that bad on here. It's just a little sloppy. He's was a decent player. I'm starting to play bass and this is kinda what it sounds like.
he would do ok at the beginning but someone would unplug his amp if he fuck up too many times. Read John Lydons books and other members books, even Lemmy from Morerhead tried to teach him but said he was unteachable.
One of the Pistol’s greatest songs… brilliant & absolutely chilling at the same time!
Underrated comment. Massive song.
The Pistols at their so called worst still beats the shit out of modern day shite at its best.
Exactly! ❤️
Get with the times old man
todays punk and hardcore is the best its ever been, do some research
oldhead
3:01 Oh my god Sid was playing the correct notes!!!
Sid's problem with the bass was not to learn to play it, but to know how to tune it. He didn´t know how to tune it and that's why sometimes the notes sound out of tune.
He was a coat hanger for glen.aparently he was allways the first to rehearsals and practised alone,thats where my way came from.
@Matt Turner LOL!
@@juantruenos463 That would certainly explain why sometimes the notes sound out of tune. ;-)
Yeah that surprised me.
Stebe Jones distorted palm muted chords are legendary!
Steve Jones - say no more; riffing genius; whole band - brilliant
Also a cool guy
very clearly the end of 70's punk rock, John Lydon is amazing in this concert. He's had enough, he made that clear with the awesome Public Image first record.
one of the best songs ever written - fight me if you disagree
the most punk song ever!
Time and place?
ya mums bedroom after I've finished with her@@brianstockwell4069
Still makes me want to kick holes in things, powerful
No I don't disagree 😂🎉😂🎉😊😊
I thought Sid couldn’t play?! That was a solid bass line if I’ve ever heard one!
I don't know why it is good that is sounds like that but I love Sid on base
@@jimbohi3648 what?
he could play very basic lines
This was one of the few songs he could play, and the only one he played in the studio
I knew old friends in CBGB's that made sure Sid got addicted to heroin. The Ramones couldn't stand him. But either could most people of the time.
Johnny is pure class, big fan of public image limited too
Favorite Pistols song by far 🤘🏻😜🤘🏻
sid looks so happy to actually be playing bass aw🥺💍
he killed his wife and overdosed
My favourite song of theirs.
I've only recently realized this was a real song, being about abortion & all. I'm going to play it on an acoustic guitar and sing it as well as Johnny does here.
Most brutal song ever written. Deserves literature award.
Paul Cook though on drums. He kept that shit together.
the sex pistols are awesome the songs are brilliant jones is a great guitar player he is so accurate in power chords-fast short solos-short arrangements-power chords again probably the best band with only one guitar in his line up.but the best that jones have is a good chord progression the EMI part that have the lirycs "too many people..."have a change that i found completely amazing.i also love s jones tone
Steve Jones = Badass
Johnny makes me laugh. :) And Sid is actually playing bass.
only until, someone turns his amp down again.. LOL
Like the DK background
His backing vocals are bang on too.
Poor sid at least he tried
@@sprout5606 bullshit....I don't know why you wankers make this up?....
Great to see Sid actually give a good musical performance here. I honestly think he could have been a capable bassist it's just that he didn't care enough about it and was smacked out of his mind a lot of the time.
Solid bass from Sid in here
The unheralded genius of Paul Cook on display here.
I tried this on guitar last night for the first time. Thought it sounded bad, but after seeing this, I think I nailed it 😁
song changed my life..
I always thought Rotten gave some of his best performances on this tour.
They were fairly tight on the tour.
John looked so damn dapper in that outfit.
Dunno if anyone agrees with me but... Every time this song ends I always somehow want or expect it to go on with the part at 2:00
best song ever...
No
Don't know what I should think about this, but I think this is amazing.
Sure it is 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
It is
i thought sid couldn`t play bass...he sounded ok at the end of bodies when you could hear him. this track was the typical sex pistols offering...hated by the establishment and loved by the fans...sid looked the part...every parents nightmare.
Nah he sounded pretty terrible, mushing the notes and his timing wasn’t consistent.
💗💕💗💕💗💕💗💕💗💕💗💕💗
@@Nick-ne4ln stfu
Anecdotes tend to get more and more exaggerated as the years pass. As in, he was a below average musician - he wasnt terrible at all.
Of course he could play this stuff
It's not Tchaikovsky
New box set is amazing 8 tracks never been released and huge upgrade on lots of track that sound so different they are the greatest band ever
The best Sid ever played bass, while people said he couldn't play.
steve jones fucking rules!
thanks, and glen matlock
No product in anyone's hair! Great Show! RIP SID!
Omg, how I love this band❤❤
I think it's the best Pistols song. Lydon is an absolute genius
Rock and friggin' roll!!
It was a good gig I got it on live and loud bootleg which has extra cheers and sounds different big upgrade on the sound 1989 I bought it it was the first bootleg semi legal as it was sold in the record shops

Metal's for dumbasses!
Maiden and Motorhead were before this but yeah
Even the Pistols imploding is light years better than most bands at their best
Sid sounds alright the whole show. All they had to do was keep him clean. Damn shame
@2:48 THAT WAS SICK....THE SID BASS 'SOLO'' ....NEVA HEARD THAT
poesia. greetings from italy
Manque de flûte traversière, autrement calme et reposant,et excelent bassiste trop classe.
Johnny had the flu during this whole show.... I still don't know how he pulled it off.
Once you make it through meningitis, it's probably a breeze getting through a flu
***** really.. wow, never knew that.. thanks. I can't do anything when I have the flu... its amazing they got thru this performance.
They probably got really drunk
johnny hit and run pauline X
drugs
" Sid" is 🔥 he is burning up in fact🤣🤣🤣🎅😈
The quintessential punk rock record .
Sex pistols legends
You know things are bad if Sid is having to carry a portion of the song on bass
I was here and gave to sid Chinese rock he wanted and absolutely needed
I thought it was from the sweden tours or spots at the time then realised a few years later it was winterland it did nothave no fun on.but on the back cover there were pictures from Lee Wood book day by day which is a great book .and a great write up from a posh newspaper
So many many band has been influenced by this!
very nice
Sid did struggle at times but sounds good in parts winterland closed down in 1978 oct time shame it was part of the pistol history seen them six times on reunion tours amazing and met John and Glen both in the uk in leicester
Big collector every bootleg I've got it jumps and f this bit accept on one cd there is a full version sid was okay on bass
I like the Bass ❤🎉❤
John often forgot the words. This song proves it.
Drugs don't always enhance a performance
Im no animal !!!!
They always said that Sid could not play bass. THERE'S SID VICIOUS RIGHT? And he appears to play the bass guitar just fine! You can talk about musicianship, or the lack of it all you want. It's the song that is great. And Johnny Lydon is not even pro-life. It's just real life. IMHO
Sid is another story...
2:50
Best ever
Reportedly ( by himself) Steve Jones favourite 'on stage' number that he enjoyed playing - with gaps for some posing & stuff...
Rotten
easy listening
God bless
Fuck yes!!
Sid joue de la basse ?? solo !!!! Surement les quelques accords appris par Lemmy.
I swear I wasn't there.
David Logat i believe you
I was, that's me disguised as Johnny's microphone stand
haha
Why they didn't record any new song?
Because they only have fleeting meetings. never long-term reformations
The Mean of this Song is amezing 👍
1:49 *_MUMMYYYYYY_*
Oh.... He COULD play bass 🤯
The Sex Pistols, What a great band what they lack in musical talent they more than make up with their angst distain and anger. Nevermind The Bollocks Here’s The Sex Pistols is one of the most important records in rock history. Rotten sang with such raw emotion, Jones riff genius, Sid a fabulous disaster could have been great, Cookie terribly underrated.

0:26 Sid is very animated there
Raw
🙋📻🔥🎸☁️✈️
Any company whose ad shows up before this really fucked something up royally. “Buy our parka” “I don’t wanna be an abortion”
2:00 😊
Sid's playing isn't that bad on here. It's just a little sloppy. He's was a decent player. I'm starting to play bass and this is kinda what it sounds like.
Ironic advert before this ... screaming babies...
John sounds totally fed up during liar but that's nothing compared to no fun
You can see him slowly reaching that point.
Before rap and R&B music, punk rock was the true degenerate music.
Sid si podía tocar el bajo ,que le importara tocarlo correctamente ya era mucha ambición 😅😅
no sid Can play
the joke is that he couldn't, the truth is that he could. what other lies have we bought
he would do ok at the beginning but someone would unplug his amp if he fuck up too many times. Read John Lydons books and other members books, even Lemmy from Morerhead tried to teach him but said he was unteachable.
Acho que esta é a apresentação mais punk deles
Я люблю вас всем сердцем
john Lyndon is a very cleaver man
Why is there a bandage on Sid's arm?
へたくそｗｗｗ 笑えるｗｗｗ これが最高だよｗｗｗ！！
This is definitely my favorite song about abortion.
What would they have been without Jonsey?
time for a ballad ha ha
Пусть не врут, что Сид не умел играть на басу.
😀😀😀
My friends don't like this song. And I'm much older than they are.
any line that has the f word in it 4 times is ok in my book.
Xxx
So sid was really playing, like sht tbh, but he was playing.
Respect
Im not an animal
Good catholic boys. Just a bit rough around the edges.
もうちよっと、おちついて..
The bass guitar is on silent should of stuck with Matlock
