This is the Pistols at their most rawest in the studio. The band are at the top of their game and they're just really jamming. That guitar sound is incredible especially when it changes into Roadrunner👍
Ha ha, who said that they couldn't play? Wish I could play guitar like Steve Jones.! Absolute master of the strings and that was 46 years ago, where has all that time gone? 😕
Hi Alan Always loved the join The beat slows down and they all stay in perfect time. Not bad for a band that couldn't play....HA HA. must comment on Glens bass playing...flows with perfection.
I only knew this version when I was a kid, I never realized how funny it is when John starts mixing up the lyrics to every Modern Lovers song. "What's the first line?" "1-2-3-4-5-6...."
When I first heard this song at a radio show I renounced to my violin lessons, became a punkrocker and now too I enjoy the music that was generated in that period by this astonishing generation. Thank you possesed by good music !
Well, considering he got to re-record them 2 years later, they should be "professional". Though the original demo session was in 1976, Cook & Jones overdubbed new drums & guitar in 1978 for the Swindle soundtrack. They did a good job with it though. Never would realize that Rotten & Matlock weren't even there in the studio, unless you hear the original session track.
Ill never forget spending 40 dollars on this record as an import...way back when it came out. 15-16 year old working full time in the summer...living home rent free...I just HAD TO get this album! And still have it to this day in my collection :)
I hadn't heard this for a thousand years and I was driving home and all of a sudden it came up in my playlist of music I had on my phone. Awesome!!! I forgot how fun these guys were.
I'll never forget driving to a record shop in Baltimore with my cousin in 1984 and buying The Swindle on vinyl for 125 bucks. That's how rare it was. It wasn't released here at the time.
The whole lot's fcking brilliant, makes me laugh. I fckng love it. steve jones and paul cook and whoever's on bass do really well. 'If you can see, oh god fck off', lmao. 'tortcha'. 'der ugg' 'der ugg', 'I dunno the words'. 'er yaya yaya ya', love it. It's fcking great.
It’s moments like this here in what made these boys so friggin’ great to listen to! So badly wish I could’ve had the chance to see em on their ‘96 reunion tour!
Thanks for posting this, I was bought this album for my 16th birthday by my parents who then asked me to play it to them. Lol. Cheers have a good life. :)
And still to this day a great song and a great album..Punk changed music to a degree which many back then related too...it put a refresher back to the music world and woke it up.. A fab era n still love it today.. PUNX NOT DEAD..
Sorry my friend but they were commercial and defeated the cause, they sold out. you want to listen to punk try the Clash or Stiff Little Fingers. is it any wonder why the pistols imploded after only 3 years+ a few months? yet the Clash split after 10 years the SLF spit years after the punk era ended same with the stranglers..i rest my case.
Their version of "Johnny B. Goode" is less than half the length of Judas Priest's version.. and doesn't even have any legitimate lyrics aside from the words "Johnny B. Goode" yet it is so much better and so much more in the vein of Chuck Berry's original than Judas Priest's version!
The real lyrics: Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans Way back up in the woods among the evergreens There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode Who never ever learned to read or write so well But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell Go go Go Johnny go Go Go Johnny go Go Go Johnny go Go Go Johnny go Go Johnny B. Goode He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made People passing by they would stop and say Oh my that little country boy could play Go go Go Johnny go Go Go Johnny go Go Go Johnny go Go Go Johnny go Go Johnny B. Goode His mother told him "Someday you will be a man, And you will be the leader of a big old band. Many people coming from miles around To hear you play your music when the sun go down Maybe someday your name will be in lights Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight." Go go Go Johnny go Go go go Johnny go Go go go Johnny go Go go go Johnny go Go Johnny B.

Steve and Paul, right place at the wrong time, or maybe wrong place at the right time. Either way take your rightful places with the rest of music’s genius’s gentlemen.
Am I to believe Cookie played the shit out of those drums? Now, he is a fucking great drummer, but back then none of them really knew how to play--besides Matlock.
Jones & Cook actually overdubbed the guitar & drum parts in 1978, though the original recording was early in 1976. Johnny's vocal & Glen Matlock's bass were the original, as obviously neither of them were in the band when this soundtrack album was being assembled. The original recording without the overdubs can be heard here ---> th-cam.com/video/IdeHDywuJC0/w-d-xo.html
Jones' front guitar is a masterpiece. Anyone tell me: What guitar did he play? What effect it is, just overdrive? Gimme tabs of solos in the end and I'll find you and force you to hear me play it!
this is proof that the pistols were fucking amazing
Best fookin band ever matey!!!
Yeah man. .best English band since arctic monkeys. ..
This is the Pistols at their most rawest in the studio. The band are at the top of their game and they're just really jamming. That guitar sound is incredible especially when it changes into Roadrunner👍
their best album to me

"Have touch with the modern world. Fell in love with the modern world.'
Paul, shout out what how it starts... Whats the first line?
Best version ever.
Yeah what a cool time aged 10..music shifted. Big time. .
Was a cool tme late 70s.i was 9...but the pistols were cool after disco period. .
Oh man I had the viyl

This song should have been released into the main charts. 😁
Listening to Paul Cook on this track made me take up the drums. Solid.
Well, considering he got to re-record them 2 years later, they should be "professional".

Ford Country got a link? I never knew that
Dude's getting two different songs mixed up on roadrunner. I love it.
@Nikol S. Ervant he starts singing "modern world" to the beat of roadrunner
@@spadeplaladin5 no he doesn’t. The first word he sings is roadrunner. The modern world is later on
Ill never forget spending 40 dollars on this record as an import...way back when it came out. 15-16 year old working full time in the summer...living home rent free...I just HAD TO get this album! And still have it to this day in my collection :)
Money well spent. Even now...
@@johnfloyd4166 I see it going for 90--120 USD in fair condition. Way more in excellent condition.
He doesn’t know the lyrics but manages to make it sound better then the original. Bravo!
Johnny was brilliant
A masterpiece duh duh duh
The Pistols killed the music for Road Runner. Would love to hear Jonny sing it!
The Pistols did a great live version during their reunion tours,which you can find on youtube,it is excellent!

True classic ❤❤❤
Still the best album in 40 years..wow..that's mad..❤❤😊😊
Love the tone and energy and mix of the drums especiallythe road runner stage
the only reason this sounds good is because steve and paul were playing their hearts out
Tom I think the drums go through a compressor
Half way through..ace.
And glens bass if amazing.
Just simply my favourite piece of music ever... majestic
Just what I needed today.
Paul Cook's in his element here.
Still better than anything now. ❤❤❤
I cannot being to tell you what this six minutes of music did for me ;)
And still to this day a great song and a great album..Punk changed music to a degree which many back then related too...it put a refresher back to the music world and woke it up..
A fab era n still love it today..
PUNX NOT DEAD..
Never underestimate the importance of the Sex Pistols
Sorry my friend but they were commercial and defeated the cause, they sold out. you want to listen to punk try the Clash or Stiff Little Fingers. is it any wonder why the pistols imploded after only 3 years+ a few months? yet the Clash split after 10 years the SLF spit years after the punk era ended same with the stranglers..i rest my case.
Xmas 1984. Heard this version on a cassette brought home by my Brother.
Best covers ever
Hace 6 años aproximadamente que no escucho este grandioso cover, arriba los pistols!
X2
The "greatest" version of all time!
From the transition on, it always tears me up...
Their version of "Johnny B. Goode" is less than half the length of Judas Priest's version.. and doesn't even have any legitimate lyrics aside from the words "Johnny B. Goode" yet it is so much better and so much more in the vein of Chuck Berry's original than Judas Priest's version!
Probably because Judas Priest are shit.
Dunno roadrunner had potential there
You fucking wanker this is the sex pistols.... Fucking twat
@@strumbolli Nah, you just have bad taste.
The real lyrics:
Deep down Louisiana close to New Orleans
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play the guitar just like a ringing a bell
Go go
Go Johnny go
Go
Go Johnny go
Go
Go Johnny go
Go
Go Johnny go
Go
Johnny B. Goode
He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
People passing by they would stop and say
Oh my that little country boy could play
Go go
Go Johnny go
Go
Go Johnny go
Go
Go Johnny go
Go
Go Johnny go
Go
Johnny B. Goode
His mother told him "Someday you will be a man,
And you will be the leader of a big old band.
Many people coming from miles around
To hear you play your music when the sun go down
Maybe someday your name will be in lights
Saying Johnny B. Goode tonight."
Go go
Go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go go go Johnny go
Go
Johnny B. Goode

Roadrunner, roadrunner
Going faster miles an hour
Gonna drive past the Stop & Shop
With the radio on
I'm in love with Massachusetts
And the neon when it's cold outside
And the highway when it's late at night
Got the radio on
I'm like the roadrunner
All right
I'm in love with modern moonlight
128 when it's dark outside
I'm in love with Massachusetts
I'm in love with the radio on
It helps me from being alone late at night
It helps me from being lonely late at night
I don't feel so bad now in the car
Don't feel so alone, got the radio on
Like the roadrunner, that's right
Said welcome to the spirit of 1956
Patient in the bushes next to '57
The highway is your girlfriend as you go by quick
Suburban trees, suburban speed
And it smells like heaven
I say roadrunner once
Roadrunner twice
I'm in love with rock 'n' roll
And I'll be out all night
Roadrunner, that's right
Ah, ooh
Ahh
Well, now
Roadrunner, roadrunner
Going faster miles an hour
Gonna drive to the Stop & Shop
With the radio on at night
And me in love with modern moonlight
Me in love with modern rock 'n' roll
Modern girls and modern rock 'n' roll
Don't feel so alone, got the radio on
Like the roadrunner
Okay, now you sing, Modern Lovers

I got the AM (Radio on)
Got the car, got the AM (Radio on)
Got the AM sound, got the (Radio on)
Got the rockin' modern neon sound (Radio on)
