Yeah, it was a big part of my youth in the late 70s. But I can safely say that it was limited by their, well, limited talent. Some interesting lyrics, though. But a few of the songs are a little basic and stale, in retrospect. Still play it a few times a year, though.

Nevermind the bullocks is one of the best albums ever released. When you really listen to that album, it is a pure masterpiece it could be put out today and hold up to anything.
Much of it is a put on. He's just giving them what they have long since come to expect. I think in the early days of the Pistols it was genuine, but ever since the 80's it's mostly an act. I used to think it was sincere.
I got see PiL in Sydney in 1984 at the Hordern and then Selinas in 1985. John Lydon was on fire, he played parts of his back catalogue. The tour played up and down the coast, even Cronulla and Shellharbour!
I spent an hour dressed in hi-vis using a scraper to peel that poster off a wall in Adelaide. I have it on my wall at home today, framed, it's massive. Best concert eva, so tight, so great.
2 decades later and the press still had fuck all else to do than ask banal and asinine questions. I got to see them in 1996 - they kicked off with “Bodies” and they were phenomenal. They never tried to be anything they weren’t - unless when Johnny’s duking it out with the Press that is. I love seeing him “on”. Fair play to them I say.
John Peel said in 1977 that the Sex Pistols are a great rock’n’roll band and their single releases should be judged on their merits. He left “Never mind the ...” unsaid. Still true.
@@ScottishTeeVee John Lydon once criticised Princess Diana (1961-1997) by calling her a thoroughly useless spare tit in 1998, such an insult to The People's Princess. ❤️❤️❤️👸👸👸😀😀😀🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Never mind the bollocks here’s the sex pistols is one of the fkn best albums ever done,usually a artist releases a album with one or two great tracks to listen to but no on this album every fkn track is spot on the hole way thru, a masterpiece in its own marking💯🎸🎸🎸🎸
@@outis439-A IDK, - he never made any money with the Pistols, and he earned it in a big way; left to his own devices, with later projects, he wasn't an ideal frontman.I think he was trying to survive in a market that didn't care about originality or talent, - more like he bought in, than sold out.As far as money goes, in music, you either make it, or you need a day job; he became a radio jockey because he had to make a living, - and hey, - the guy was instrumental in changing music history, - literally and figuratively. I wouldn't hold anything against him.
Crazy to think this was 27 years ago and they (my dad's generation) already seemed like ancient history to me back then. 1978 (the year I was born) is as remote from today as the 1930s were to the 70s.
@@Muirton66 Pistol, according to John it’s a glorified fairytale of the Sex Pistols story, focusing on minor events that happened and made them major events and cutting out other important info altogether
Australians seem to often get a bit carried away with them whenever it comes to dealing with something big that's come from the outside world. I've noticed it many times with musicians and sportsman.
@@xalstarx Smith was adopted by an Irish couple I believe .. but he's as Mancunian as they come - I'd say he's full on English Manc. Henry is an old Jew. Similar in disposition!
When the Sex Pistols began and the album was recorded it was all innocent youth. It morphed into something bigger than they ever imagined. Bless the Sex Pistols!! 🤘☮
Funny you say that, I met him two days ago in Lincoln where he did a Q&A gig. He couldn’t have been more polite and decent to me and the wife. Top bloke in my opinion.
He's a typical right winged idiot, that's why you don't get a word in edgeways, and might seem genuine first, why do you think he's a trump supporter 😂
@@midnightwitch606 hes a fucking trump supporter because all of the major democratic contenders are all shitbags. he supported obama, but he supports trump now because biden and clinton are both total shitbags. i personally do not like trump, but i think its more about shifting the power away from said shitbags.
@Set III No john was always a nice and polite block if you ever met him and spoke to him like a human being rather than a famous person , From what you see in interviews and stuff he just doesnt give a fuck about the media
I feel so bad for Johnny. His lovely wife Nora has Alzheimer’s. They have been together for so long but she still so young! He’s a great father, husband and grandpa!
He says he doesn't want to live in England again but my understanding is he has a home in England and split his time between the USA and England. Maybe he changed his mind about it.
Lydon didnt do drugs when he was first with the Pistols either...He can be an egotistic twat but he mostly talks common sense about the music industry...
I Think This is great, Tthe Pistols are a ground breaking Band. In 1996 I just happened to drive by The Roseland Theater and The Sex Pistols were playing. I parked the car and tried to get a ticket. No Ticket !!! I'm happy to know my friend Greg got to see them. I'm So Happy That they were finaly getting paid adter being rip off by the record comp., management, Lawyers and Government. Don't forget these guy were fighting Treason Charges wich holes the Deat Penalty, CRAZY all they did was wright and sing the truth NOW That's insain people. The Government doesn't want any of use to be free and don't get me started on Big Thec. OMG everyone Needs To Wake Up Before It's To Late.
That “are you having fun yet” question seemed like she was referencing the interview with Sid where he was asked if “he was having fun” if she did that was fuckin dirty, don’t know if it’s just me that thought that
12:00 This right here is a prime example of media twits and their asinine commentary. Totally unnecessary and uncalled for. When I was a dumb kid I loved Lydon, but I always figured he was just being confrontational when giving guff to these interviewers; I just assumed it was more or less part of the attitude and he was simply giving the people what they wanted and expected. Now that I’m older, I understand exactly why he did that. Now that I can see more unedited, raw footage of a lot of these old interviews, I can fully understand why he snapped at a lot of these people. What a ridiculous question followed by even more absurd comments. Lydon honestly should have back-handed the bastard.
Howdy STV, did you catch them at the SECC 1995 ? SLF supported them , I remember hearing the Pistols snubbed them afterwards cuz fingers stole the show (true,in my opinion).👍
95? You mean 96? I was there, up the back at the slightly elevated stand for the celebs and press, the only one I recognised was Tom Russell. John's wife Nora was standing in front of the box with the fans, right behind me and my friends. I honestly cannot remember watching SLF, not a single clue why, perhaps I was getting a few beers or something, but they are a great band.
I think Johnny Rotten got it wrong, saying that the music of today is crap, because it is based on style, because if you know a favourite band dresses a certain way, or associated with a certain sign, you look in the Rock n Roll section, or whatever so called pop section it is, it helps you find that certain pop band.
It's easy to see why people think John can be a knob sometimes ,but like Liam Gallagher it's show for the press ,my dad used to drive John in his cab in Fulham back in the 80s he said he was lovely,In the nineties I was lucky enough to meet Liam through friends in another band ,he too was lovely ,so even though he winds me up sometimes it's all his distaste for the dumb questions they put to him ,the funny git 👍🏼🍀🇬🇧
The difference is that Lydon is seriously talented and has done a ton of great work. Liam, by contrast, has brought nothing new to the table whatsoever. It's all just regurgitation of the past. Oasis were two-bob numpties, as Jonesy might say.
"anarchy is mind games for the middle classes" So what is the solution for the working class? Eternal capitalism, money, the state, wage labour? Call it what you want, but the end of the capitalist state is the precondition for any alternative to the current trajectory to destruction. Rotten's smattering of knowledge is a dangerous thing, the working class needs to reject his version of conservatism of what exists.
I have the utmost respect for Lydon as an artist and as a human but he should be ashamed of this shamefaced money grab. 'No future' from the mouth of an unqualified history teacher who knows full well that Punk originated in the US and was imported to the UK by a man he despises (Malcolm McLaren) The whole interview resembles a parents night for passive aggressive toddlers.
Most surreal gig i ever went to(Glasgow). Thought it would be full of students,nope,i was one of the youngest there(was 9yrs old the first time they were around),old punks with extensions sewn into to there tartan drainpipes,half mohawks as baldness was taking over,jumping up and down on a sea of specs,and to top it off,some guy grabbed me by the ankle as he tried to find his FALSE TEETH!!! Great night though....
You could tell the press the whole interview was trying to antagonise the band and was making sarcastic comments then wonder why the band replies with the same sarcastic tone to the press 😎✌️
I went to the Glasgow gig on the re-union tour 96,97 ,it was good but strangely i wish i had never went.It seemed to destroy any credibility they had for me
It's not really true that dinosaur rock was all there was; it may have been on the rise in the commercial market, but the 60's produced so many great, original ,bands, - I think ,that much like the social movement that went with it, - the nasty shock was the degree of the regression.
Steve Jones was always my favorite Pistol, and Paul Cook, were there for the money, they were all about the payday, Johnny was just a glory hog and they needed Glen because he could play
@@helenbartoszek243 You don't get it, do you? He identified with the hundred million ordinary Americans who supported Trump, and not the rich elites in showbusiness who didn't. Get that in your thick head.
@@tomcarl8021 What did Trump do for the ordinary people? Did he bring in national health care like we have in Australia ,NZ, UK and Europe? Did he give the people paid holidays, paid sick days, maternity and paternity leave? Trump is one of the rich elite and the dickhead is still carrying on about the election. Boohoo! If he was all about the people then he would accept their decision that the people did not want him as President anymore. Not to mention January 6th. I bet Lydon is spewing he didn't keep his UK citizenship as it would cost him nothing to look after his wife.
I gotta say, 'What do you think about Rod Stewarts latest work' was hilarious hahaha. I never knew Skunk Anansie was support on that tour. Great choice.
Man Steve looks like shit. He was using at this point right? Also man the band aged so damn fast over the next ten years. When “Filth and the Fury” came out, which is a great Docu they look totally different. Like they aged decades in that period of just ten years. Especially John.
Something like 'How long did it take to prepare the sperm sandwich that Glen Matlock ate?' Steve allegedly spadged in a sandwich which Glen (likely unknowingly) then ate.
I'm a journalist myself and i think the whole "cashing in, selling out" angle that most of these reporters are going for is very tiresome, boring. These guys hadn't played together for 19 years! Selling out would have been doing tour after tour during that time. Even if money was a motivation for doing these gigs it doesn't fucking matter. Johnny could tell these reporters what poverty looks like that's for sure, that's for sure
@@ScottishTeeVee I was born in 72 so 4 in 76 I tick off 4 big boxes that day! Couldn't name a single Tool song,they seemed a bit metal for that bill. Would of been better to get a local unsigned punk band instead. Great day outside at Finsbury Park though 😀🏴

Great upload, thanks. Amazing how young they look.

"Lydon" not Lyndon!!
No wonder they get sick of reporters, all they get asked are questions that are either moronic or accusatory.
Yep, same questions over and over again, it must drive most bands crazy, lazy journalism I guess.
I got see PiL in Sydney in 1984 at the Hordern and then Selinas in 1985. John Lydon was on fire, he played parts of his back catalogue. The tour played up and down the coast, even Cronulla and Shellharbour!
I seen P.I.L at The Crystal Ballroom St.Kilda 84(?)
45 years later (2021) and they are still relevant....
The interview becomes all about John. The whole band is there
Yeah, it's a shame, I enjoy hearing all the guys in interviews, but the journalists just want to hear from John all the time.
That`s because he is by far the most entertaining personality out of the four of them.
He loves the attention.
They always gear it towards him. I think it's because he puts on a show on purpose.
John was always the most charismatic

'No future' from the mouth of an unqualified history teacher who knows full well that Punk originated in the US and was imported to the UK by a man he despises (Malcolm McLaren) The whole interview resembles a parents night for passive aggressive toddlers.
they are just a rock n roll band , relax, punk is made up by the media
Just having some banter with the Aussie media good fun interview I think
Most surreal gig i ever went to(Glasgow). Thought it would be full of students,nope,i was one of the youngest there(was 9yrs old the first time they were around),old punks with extensions sewn into to there tartan drainpipes,half mohawks as baldness was taking over,jumping up and down on a sea of specs,and to top it off,some guy grabbed me by the ankle as he tried to find his FALSE TEETH!!! Great night though....
I was there too. Fukin amazing!❤
You could tell the press the whole interview was trying to antagonise the band and was making sarcastic comments then wonder why the band replies with the same sarcastic tone to the press 😎✌️
This video made me realize that John Lydon and Johnny Rotten are two different people lol
😄.
@@ScottishTeeVee How do you put emojis onto YT?
If you look closely they're not.
Rookie camera work and stupid questions; Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!
😂 He still smokes like a trooper. He don’t give a f
Reminds me of Jah Wobble with PiL. "Why don't you ask a sensible question?"
Steve is there but at the same time not there
Seen them twice after waiting years......worth it though. Best band ever!
I went to the Glasgow gig on the re-union tour 96,97 ,it was good but strangely i wish i had never went.It seemed to destroy any credibility they had for me
Must be hard for Johnny, being so much more intelligent than the rest of the band.
Congratulations on one of the most uneducated comments ever.
Glenn's pretty smart too. Another reason is his middle class ideals clashed with Lydons working class ego & was fired from the Pistols...
@@darania1 Someone read Das Kapital... 🙄
@badseyborbon2493 As Stalin once said you can't beat a bit of Karl Marx in the morning..!
@@darania1 I prefer gin and weetos
Hard workin men who deserved to be paid for the riches they brought to our lives
Idiotic Questions By The Press . Good On John Squashing Them . 👌🏼👍🏼
It's not really true that dinosaur rock was all there was; it may have been on the rise in the commercial market, but the 60's produced so many great, original ,bands, - I think ,that much like the social movement that went with it, - the nasty shock was the degree of the regression.
Steve Jones was always my favorite Pistol, and Paul Cook, were there for the money, they were all about the payday, Johnny was just a glory hog and they needed Glen because he could play
No no Johnny was quite good at selling butter 🤷🏻♂️ quite the anarchist 😁😁
I liked Glen too though.
@@scottie74 not to mention a Trump supporter.
@@helenbartoszek243 You don't get it, do you?
He identified with the hundred million ordinary Americans who supported Trump, and not the rich elites in showbusiness who didn't.
Get that in your thick head.
@@tomcarl8021 What did Trump do for the ordinary people? Did he bring in national health care like we have in Australia ,NZ, UK and Europe? Did he give the people paid holidays, paid sick days, maternity and paternity leave? Trump is one of the rich elite and the dickhead is still carrying on about the election. Boohoo! If he was all about the people then he would accept their decision that the people did not want him as President anymore. Not to mention January 6th. I bet Lydon is spewing he didn't keep his UK citizenship as it would cost him nothing to look after his wife.
I gotta say, 'What do you think about Rod Stewarts latest work' was hilarious hahaha. I never knew Skunk Anansie was support on that tour. Great choice.
lydon is well clever!!!
Think they had a sponsorship deal with Benson and hedges
Some of the press seem a bit pretentious...and intimidated. Lol
Interviewers here snowflakes before the term snowflake was a thing
@9:50. "It's not about wankers rewriting history for us". Are you listening Danny Boyle?
Said he would never do it because he would never repeat himself….
Nevermind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols...fantastic album. And no band will top them, period 💯 shame I didn't exist yet to see them 😂
Man Steve looks like shit. He was using at this point right? Also man the band aged so damn fast over the next ten years. When “Filth and the Fury” came out, which is a great Docu they look totally different. Like they aged decades in that period of just ten years. Especially John.
17:09 - 17:15: What is the question here?
Something like 'How long did it take to prepare the sperm sandwich that Glen Matlock ate?' Steve allegedly spadged in a sandwich which Glen (likely unknowingly) then ate.
Always on top of the interview...interesting but why does he always get stupid questions
Glen looks like that kid your mom invited to your party…. But you didn’t want him there!!
I'm a journalist myself and i think the whole "cashing in, selling out" angle that most of these reporters are going for is very tiresome, boring. These guys hadn't played together for 19 years! Selling out would have been doing tour after tour during that time. Even if money was a motivation for doing these gigs it doesn't fucking matter. Johnny could tell these reporters what poverty looks like that's for sure, that's for sure
Never mind the Sex Pistols, we are the bollox.
Jonesy looks happy!
I saw them on that tour in London with Iggy,Buzzcocks ,Stiff Little Fingers ana Tool
🏴
You were lucky to have seen them and all the other bands
@@ScottishTeeVee I was born in 72 so 4 in 76 I tick off 4 big boxes that day! Couldn't name a single Tool song,they seemed a bit metal for that bill. Would of been better to get a local unsigned punk band instead. Great day outside at Finsbury Park though 😀🏴
@@PUNKinDRUBLIC72 I'm with you Stosh, I ain't got a clue about tool, could not name one song. Thanks for being here 😎
