Jones is crazy with those lead runs/fills. If you watch videos of the live shows from the 70's and ones from lately, sometimes he does them, sometimes not. Sometimes he just does part of them etc... So cool!
Nice one, Sparky! Great playing & tone here. I’ve been meaning to do a Sex Pistols cover on my channel for the longest time! I keep being nagged by a friend who’s a big SP/John Lydon fan to record one. I was thinking of doing either this OR “New York”. What a brilliant album, Nevermind The Bollocks is. Steve Jones’ playing is KILLER and is like the epitome of the punk guitar sound/style - mostly rhythm with some lead licks and short solos. Definitely a favorite album (and song) of mine - and incredibly influential it was (and continues to be).
Hi Mitch. Great to hear from you. It was about time I did a Pistols song… Steve Jones is one of the tightest rhythm players ever. He’s really underrated. Looking forward to you doing New York!
From Japan. The Pistols are deified as the gods of punk rock in Japan. Sid Vicious is an eternal hero of anarchism.By the way, Pretty Vacant is extremely difficult to translate into Japanese. It has strong nuances unique to English-speaking countries.
Son très bon. Le son de Steve Jones c'est un silverface twin reverb poussé dans ses retranchements, tout à fond ! Autant dire que c'est difficile à faire pour une utilisation domestique. Voilà ma configuration assez proche : 2 pédales hotone xtomp. La 1ère en amont avec IR silverface twin reverb 2×12 JBL. Volume au maximum pour simuler un haut parleur dans ses derniers retranchements et présence au 3/4. 2ème pédale hotone xtomp avec simulation ampli silverface twin reverb. Volume et output au maximum. Peu de basse, beaucoup d'aigüe. Facultatif : Pédale d'égalisation 10 bandes joyo en baissant le volume à moins 12db. Voilà ! Pour la guitare, micros humbuckers obligatoire et une bonne Les Paul.
Amazing huge sex pistols me they could play really good 250 items in my collection met glen and John seen them live 6 times live reunion they are the best band ever never mind the bollocks
Is that you Steve...blimy mate you've lost a few pounds! Bang on mate, you just made a 60 year old man feel 16 again...and I play this one, but not with your excellent lead bits!! 👍

Such an underrated guitarist! Simple - but SUPER-tight!
Brilliant cover, caught the guitar sound amazingly and clear and LOUD! Kudos man!
The best guitar player STEVE JONES.the 1996 tour is the best guitar tone i ve ever heard.
Also one of the tightest players out there. He is absolutely locked on the rhythm section. That is not easy!
Saw them in Glasgow in 1996. They opened with bodies and the intro was mind blowing
Love the tone. Absolutely excellent.👍
DAMN THAT TONE, SO NICE
First time I've seen this and I'm totally blown away! Magnificent 😁
Thank you! Cheers! 👍👍
Steve Jones legend !
Absolutely!

PERFECT!
AMAZING!
omg congrats, you sound really good, i'm trying to learn this song, but i can't figure out the strumming for the intro in the A,D,G strings
Love it!
Ha ha. Most excellent. I'm plugging in as I speak to learn this one.
Have fun!

Chris spedding did all the guitar on NMTB recording.The guy who also did guitar for the Wombles.Pistols were the first band who played badly live.
That's not true. Not sure if Spending had any appearance on the album
@@tedgartner1816 Pretty sure he played on the demo recordings doubt on the actual NMTB album,that was Jones
Very good! Should use more barre chords for power
I just played what I think they played…
Cant beat a bit of Pistols ! Id say do a cover of The Clash Complete Control but im not a Patreon although i soon might be :)
Cheers Jase! I've got London Calling on the list... might do that one soon!
Como hago que mis solos suenen asi con una epiphone custom un marshall lead 12 y tubescreamer no llego jajajaj
Hell yeah!!!
👏👏👏👏👏
Hell yeah
Super
Pretty pretty vacant
FUCK YES!!!!!
fucking cool as fuck🤘🏽
Tell my wife!
Effin A!
Fuckyeah
But did you steal the guitar to make it really authentic 😂 excellent
would have to be a aged white Burny Les Paul with the stickers...LOL!
Very difficult!
You can do it!
@@SparkyGuitar HAHAHAHAHAHABABAHABABAHAHAH
gg
And we don't care
Your thumb freaks me out..like it should have googly eyes and play its own song
Best comment ever!
Whoa, this is basically 70s Aerosmith.
.... but miles better😉
@@daryljohn3075 I'd say they're about equal. 70s Aerosmith was very good.
