    I'm taking early retirement tomorrow (16/1/25) and I'm so happy watch something from my youth. When they swore on Bill Grundy's Tonight show (1976), my dad was with us. We had to stop laughing as dad was OUTRAGED!!!. We thought it was amazing, and my bro bought the single so we could play it loud on our headphones and Dad would never know...

    The difference between American punk and British punk--particularly the Pistols--was that British punk declared war on British society. The Pistols were absolutely serious when they said "I wanna be anarchy". The Pistols totally changed the shape of British pop and music culture in the mid-70s, and in fact were the most important music group to come around at the very least since Black Sabbath, and possibly since the Beatles.

      They really were not recognized but their influence was great. They made it to the states in 1978…imploded and broke up. Their influence is great when it comes to UK Punk Rock they are that of legend that has come and gone, but never forgotten. The Damned released the first UK Punk Rock single in 1976. Then came the Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Buzzcocks and countless others would follow. The UK Punk Rock scene was prompted by the 1976 tour of original American New York Punk band The Ramones who were influenced in part by Detroit proto-punk bands The MC5, The Stooges and a certain guitar style influenced by Led Zepplin’s Jimmy Page on their song Communication Breakdown.

      Pistols were almost like a boy band ( and I loved them ) creation of Malcom McClaren, who wanted to create what he’d seen in CBGBs - NY Dolls and Ramones.
      Dammed - more real
      The Clash, far better, but less punk.
      Punk was a belief that any group of kids could make music, with an attitude and a message.
      Uk - The Jam, Specials, Dexys and The Pogues.
      US - Grand Master Flash, Blondie, and Public Enemy.
      Great reaction bro.

    Since you mentioned "mayhem", something really important to realize is that the scene that grew out of this was known for absolutely crazy and sometimes dangerous live shows. I've played in several bands but one of my early ones was a Post Punk band, as opposed to Punk or Thrash, but those are related and it was just the way the scene was at the time in the early eighties, and so we played all these shows together, and sometimes groups would come in from out of town, like Nirvana a few years later, but just tons of insane intense shows, some with law enforcement involved.
    Whatever you are seeing here in this video, in your mind take it a whole order of magnitude crazier, and then do it again. It's so hard to describe without pictures or a really long narrative, but it was so intense.

    The Sex Pistols were very important to the British music industry, because they were rebelling against Progressive Rock bands like Pink Floyd, Yes, and Genesis (during the Peter Gabriel years), because they, and the young music listeners in the UK, felt that they had departed too far from the basic foundations of Rock music. The Sex Pistols inspired the “Do It Yourself” approach to Rock music that encouraged a generation of bands and music artists of various subgenres to write their own songs and record their own music as they saw fit.

    8:27 The vocals are not bad they are amazing. The diction the timing the tuning the performance is amazing. Get one of your so called great vocalist to try and sing this and they couldn't. They would find it extremely hard to time the lyrics and would not be able to get the aggression across.a good vocalist isn't about having a five octave range it's about portraying and interpreting a song . John Lydon right up there with any vocalist.

    At that time in the UK, it was bleak for many people. The lower classes were treated badly, irrespective of the colour of their skin. I love the fact that the punks and Rastas found a unity. They all realised that oppression is colourblind (at least in many countries). To the rich, the poor are just tools to be exploited. I feel the Pistols are remembered and revered simply because they had the balls to stand up at that difficult time and speak the truth about social issues.

    They only did one U.S. tour and the band broke up after (during) a show in San Francisco. From what I’ve read most of their U. S. Gigs were in places where the audience didn’t know anything about them and in some cases were actually hostile and/or violent towards them.

    In the late 70's Sex Pistols were STRICTLY played in alternative radio stations. In LA that meant KROQ/Rodney Bigenheimer (DJ) -- if you only listened to mainstream popular radio you missed them.

  • @gpxo11
    @gpxo11 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    The States were self absorbed with disco and the Bee Gees-so the Sex Pistols were ignored much like the Ramones except in New York City clubs. Punk was mainly popular in large cities where there was enough people who had their own clique with the spiked hair etc. You knew about punk music but it never was mainstream which I believe is how the punkers preferred because once anything goes mainstream or popular, it becomes the very "establishment they rail against-the punkers themselves become a parody of themselves.

    I was introduced to punk (didn't know what it was called punk at the time), as a kid watching I believe was a 60 Minutes report back in the late 70's. It was years later when I could access the music on 8 Track, then cassette tape, finding the genre pretty much by mistake as my friends and I delved into metal bands such as Slayer, GBH, The Exploited, Venom and so on.

      Yes indeed British youth making a stand. It's what they do, & they do well. Here in USA we got "freedom of speech" (as we call it) & the freedom to peacefully protest as we say. But often times we don't do so whereas the British would be straight up doing so in many situations where we just sit on our behinds and let whatever the hell it is get out of control maybe it's because our country is so big compared to hell compared to that entire Island there would fit in one small West Coast State people got to keep that in mind this place the USA is a whole different Beast. The Sex Pistols were great and Johnny's band that he got going after the Sex Pistols was also is also a fabulous band they're called Public Image Limited PIL. In the mid-80s that band even got some actual radio airplay. I saw them performance San Francisco several times in the mid 80s the music not quite the same as the Sex Pistols but Johnny is always always a star. I've always been rather fond of their flowers of romance album I think it might be the second for public Image Limited I can't quite recall right now and Johnny's still punk rock to this day seriously. I mean I've never even heard of a band turning down getting inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame OMG LOL that s*** doesn't impress Johnny LOL he has no interest in taking part in any of that s*** he don't need our stinking praise and Awards and crap LOL punk rock to the Core!

Shout and scream along to it and play air drums. You know how to do it. ❤

    yes, anyone who was into punk music here in America in the late 77 was very much aware of the Pistols. Don't forget, the Ramones debut LP in April 1976 was the first punk album and we kids played it to death. BTW Johnny is a VERY GOOD punk singer, angry snarling, sarcastic, nasty, bitter. Everything you could want in a punk singer singing these songs.

    The Sex Pistols only ever released one album, then the band broke up, and then Sid died, so they never really had a chance to catch on in the States. They were popular in New York while the band was still together, but punk rock didn't really catch on in the rest of the country until about 1982 or 83.

    Punk bands are almost by definition not mainstream successful bands. Punk fans in the US knew about the Sex Pistols and some of the other big UK bands, but they certainly weren't getting the kind of airplay that would get them to the charts. The US had their own punk bands that were more well known here and also failing to make the charts. I'd be interested to know what you'd think of the Dead Kennedys. They're an interesting punk band with a definite agenda. I would recommend listening with the lyrics available, though. Depending on what recording you grab, Jello's not always easily intelligible, and the words matter in their songs. I know you'd love the Ramones. They were actual punk, not pop punk, but they are still the catchiest of all the punk bands to me.

    Is this the M.P.L.A? (Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola)
    Or is this the U.D.A? (Irish paramilitary group)
    Or is this the I.R.A? (Irish paramilitary group)
    I thought it was the U.K
    Or just another country

    The big equivalent in the US to the Pistols was The Ramones and there was rivalry between them.

    "Simon Ferocious" was rude to Freddie Mercury, so this band is dead to me.
    Another request for My Chemical Romance "Welcome to the Black Parade." Their drummer passed recently, so a tribute would be fitting, but I think you'll REALLY like this song. Many people call it the modern "Bohemian Rhapsody" and is the emo anthem. Lead singer, Gerard Way, also wrote "The Umbrella Academy" comics, from which the show was created.

    The Pistols were a great Rock band. Steve Jones guitar tone is phenomenal. The British punk scene arrived and disappeared with the Pistols. What followed was the new wave pop scene.....not Punk. Blondie,Boomtown Rats, and 💩 like that. As for anarchists...dont make me laugh,...Jonn Lydon now lives as a millionaire in the USA and Steve Jones became a "Hair Metal" guitatist and quested for Iggy Pop and also enjoys his retirement as a millionaire.

      What is it with you with some punk bands making some money from the music they created so long ago. Of all the hundreds or maybe thousands of these punk bands very few ever saw any money come their way or let alone any recognition. And you're only half right yes there was new wave that followed in the demise of the first generation of punk but the second generation with bands like the Ruts, stiff little fingers then to be followed in the early eighties by what is called Post Punk bands like Killing Joke and Bauhaus and again followed by 80s hardcore punk bands in the UK like Discharge gbh and Amibex. I did like the start of your comment about Steve Jones he does have a fantastic guitar tone kind of a cross between Chuck Berry and Black Sabbath.
