Vivienne Westwood recommended Malcolm McLaren try out a young lad named John as singer for his new band. McLaren auditioned Lydon (Rotten) and the rest is history. When Westwood saw Lydon she told McLaren that he wasn't the John she meant, she meant John Ritchie (Vicious). Also Sid was invited to audition for The Damned but he didn't show and Dave Vanian got the job. Sid had a deep resentment towards Vanian there after. Probably why Sid threw the glass at The Damned at the 100 Club that missed, shattered and blinded a young girl in her eye.
@Philip Holmes Will have a look Philip. I'm pretty sure I wrote this comment about Pretty Vacant, not Holidays in the Sun, though....must have kept the same comment section for both songs, maybe?
The final vibratos that make steve are brilliant,S J as a guitar is amazing his sense of rythim is perfect one of the bests players since that day to today
Jones hits a few 'avant garde' notes at the beginning, but gets the bollocks out for the rest. John and Paul are on fire here. Proof that they could really play .
@Philip Holmes Yes i think im one of of their biggest fans I have 7 pictures / posters framed that hang on the wall in every room in this house. I cried like a child when one of the Johns took his life. I mean, of course, Sid Vicous

AHH that hits the spot. Sid was valuable as a hype man just like flavor flav was. I bet when the ramones were just starting out and joey was on drums they were like he is usless but today we all know he was the soul of that band just like sid was to his the face of the generation type thing. What happened to nancy though was just crazy even for sid RIP dude ur a fucking legend in my eyes.
@exploremagic23 Good decision, two very influential bands. For me, it was Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, but I found my way around. When you think about it, all the great bands had such a unique sound, they were able to transcend genre. The Sex Pistols are certainly included on that list. We need another kick-ass movement.
@miniraptorX Actually Sid is playing. I have this on record, Its very faint but you can hear it. For God Save The Queen and I wanna be me his bass was turned up all the way then Steve turned it down. Listen for it during Steves solo's on certain songs. During Bodies, Steve actually unplugs Sids amp and thats caught on film
this live is awesome even with sid doing nothing!jones gives us a lesson to every guitar player how 5th chords and riffs should be the vibrato in the end is brilliant
That US tour is one of the greatest in Rock because that kind of music was unknown and they played in the most improbable places,thanks to Malcolm choosing them. CBGB's in New York? Naw,lets do a cowboy bar in san Antonio that even hates English glam. Along with Miles in 1949 in N.Y.playing 'Birth of the Cool',Hank Williams last concert,The Dolls at Max's,Suicide in Belguim 77',Cluster playing 12 hours in Black Forest in 70',Little Richard in the South 1954,this was a career defining gig!
@dangermouse1964 johnny is the icon, there`s no sex pistols without johnny rotten! there`s no punk rock without johnny rotten. all hail johnny rotten! there will never be another one like him EVER!
I don't know why people were so down on their musicianship. This isn't far off from Chicago blues song structure technically speaking, granted revved up a bit and with half the soloing. Solid riffs clean turn arounds though, a surprisingly solid band.
I was listening to the sex pistols in 1982, and thought there would be nothing like it again..... then i saw a music video my sister showed me it was ...welcome to the jungle gnr ...it wasn't sex pistols but it had the same energy ... so we will see it again
@mccann444 You're sadly mistakened, lad. I agree with you about Sid being a second frontman, but he couldn't play bass worth a shit. Everyone agrees on that, I'm sure. Glenn Matlock, on the other hand, was a founding member, really contributed to the sound that shocked the world. He deserves to be a part of the re-union.
that is very good, I was wondering if it is overdubbed, I kind of doubt it because Sid's backing vocals would have been turned down, or OFF, Jones guitaring is top class, better than just about anyone at times (if you like real rock guitar sounds) Gilmore-stuff him, Clapton-Steve is god, Cooks drumming is loose and not twisted up and it flows with no gaps and great cymbals, JR's vocals are clear and sharp, Sid is thumping out a bass line most of the time, should have turned his mic off and not told him, the pistols were either a shambles on stage or magnificent,
John and Steve really get this song together during and after the guitar solo. As Steve plays the solo John gets right into it, quick look at Steve before it ends and off they go. And without any bass! Gives an insight to how good they were. With Glen there could have even been a second album when it would have really mattered?
This was cool back then but if people (the mainstream) saw this today they will all be like dude, what the heck? I still think this is whats in, Sid Lives!
superb concert, id have shaved my grannys beard to be there,sex pistols arrival shook music to its foundations,this is my fave track from this gig along with belsen,what a shame about the break up,so much potential, my reckoning is they should have had a fifth member,to play bass,,,cme lead,then steve jones decided he wanted to be a member of "the def leppard club",not that they are bad
John Rotten looked like a grown up to me when I 1st discovered the Sex Pistols...OMG now he looks like a baby. He was way ahead of his time. He was brilliant. & Sid who knws maybe he's still alive.
That is true and sad that Sid died on the 02.th of February 1979,I was just 7 years old and I wish that I was born much earlier to see Sid when he was still alive and make love with him
+Johnny Rotten Yes he was a legend and that would be great to see Sid and Johnny but I can understand you that you don´t want to make love with him,because you´re not gay,right?And that is totally okay Johnny Rotten ;-)))
@NoDestinyLive4Now yeah as someone who is from Boston and now living in Houston, it is a horrible place. Argh Texas, but when you find cool people they are fucking authentic.
Because he's cooler than deep space. See the Video for 'Love Kills' by Joe Strummer from the 'Sid & Nancy' film and you'll see a loving tribute to him at the end. He was very well loved by those who knew him.
watch the live in sanfranciso stuff. His bass was plugged in and during bodies, Steve's amp fails and all you can hear is bass....not great but he was hittin the notes and timing good enough to get by..............SO HAHAHAHAHHA EVER GET THE FEELING YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT?

Rock n Roll characters are gone.........and will never be back unfortunately.......they are a rapidly dying breed
British Punk is the Best!!!! Especially Sex Pistol!!!

Well......he right about the first bit anyway.
Everything that he said in this was true he wasn't talented but over time Sex Pistols lost some of their "punk"
Bollocks, he was an absolute waste of space.
Punk turned into a circus when he joined the pistols..
Only Lydon and Matlock remained relevant.

happy? the band in this particular time was a shit show and all hated each other and was getting their money nicked by mclaren
shit show? best show of the us tour...bands often hate eachon a tour to a new country orchestrated by an idiot (Malcolm and the Warner goons)

I agree mate have fun

More energy and angst than all these modern bands combined. Fucking brilliant...
Haven't seen this for ages, it's a fantastic rock 'n' roll show.
my god.. Johnny was so handsome

Fun to see pictures of the music you havent heard for over 43 years. Bought this on a Vinyl Bootleg "Live at Longhorn Ballroom" in 1979.😊

The first band I listened to that really pissed my parents! lol
Pure rock and roll energy, not 1 rock bands couldn't perform in this high energy absolutely rock orgazam
es la primera vez q escucho sex pistols y sinceramente me encanto
"Big tough Sid falls over!" 3:47 "Yeah, that's really crazy..."
this band and nirvana is what got me into rock n roll
The kick drum makes up somewhat for the patchy bass playing. Cook and Jones were a great foundation.
When it comes to kick drums,Cookie is KING!
AHH that hits the spot. Sid was valuable as a hype man just like flavor flav was.

a tragic case, that Sid. Totally messed up. His own mother supplied his drugs too.
"look at that living circus"..legend!
this was the first punk song i learnedon my guitar i play it every live performance just becuause its to me one of the greatest punk anthems
one of mine too. . .hope you're still kicking!
some of the greatest rock ever
@miniraptorX Actually Sid is playing. I have this on record, Its very faint but you can hear it. For God Save The Queen and I wanna be me his bass was turned up all the way then Steve turned it down.

Malcolm was simply repeating the disastrous tour of the South that he sent the New York Dolls on in 1975. Look it up.
@@ernestodelaserna9494this show was at the Longhorn ballroom in Dallas TX,my brother went to this gig,he said the tension was high that night
yea, major mistake on the scheduling being NY clubs were where it was at.@@ernestodelaserna9494
He actually screwed up the scheduling and missed the Northern leg. They were supposed to appear on SNL on that leg.
Johnnys wink at the end is gold!
Steve Jones is an epic guitarist... both for tone, rhythm and his blues styles... but anyone else notice he's pretty out of tune in places here?
i think the bass and guitar was out of tune.
He had tuning problems all the way through the tour!
didn't like how he often reverted to bedroom Chuck Berry riffs though. . .otherwise he was a solid holder with great tone
It’s punk it’s meant to be out of tune
The greatest use of anger in music ever.
2023年、今見てもかっこいい✨そしてジョニー歌うまい😂
