    American punks just never reached the rage of their British counterparts. And I say that cuz I was an American punk in the way back. One of the most eye-opening events of my young life while serving in the Army in the 80's was seeing Killing Joke in Hamburg... Lots of Brits stationed there at the time, and I remembered seeing normally buttoned-down British sergeants [equivalent to US SSG's or SFC's], pillars of Her Majesties Forces, just losing their eff'ing minds and screaming their throats out.
    Punk, REAL punk, is like the Beatles... a form of rock that spread and influenced the whole world but still remained a curiously British phenomenon.

    • @gabix7488

      @@gabix7488 Good point, but I think a key difference is that the Pistols weren't screaming at American society. There was a certain distance in the Pistols' protests that allowed Americans to treat it as entertainment rather than social rage.

      50 maybe but not 60 - if this was 2007 they would've been in their early 50's at most. Also, check out Richard Thompson a British singer song writer and master guitar player - he's 71 and his last album 13 Rivers was incredible. Check out a track of his from the early 80's called Shoot Out the Lights - the electric guitar playing on that is insane!!

    Possibly the most important rock musical piece of our time, not only did it shake up the limp pop and disco music at the time it also introduced the power chord in a big way, bands like Sabbath and Kiss were using the power chord some years before but the Pistols really brought it into the main part of the songs, rock music totally changed after, groups like Deep Purple, Scorpions and especially Thin Lizzy changed their style from a blues to a more punk feeling, without the Pistols there would have been no iron maiden or def leppard, the sound also influenced American bands such as Motley Crue, Wasp and of course Guns N Roses, of course Im not a punk but I really appreciate what these guys created in terms of a musical sound, it cannot also be underestimated how many people were influenced to pick up a guitar , I still play to this day and I have to say I am totally unfluenced by the Sex Pistols

    I am an Aussie, I love the English and what they have produced. I finally saw the Sex Pistols in 1996 and took my 15 year old daughter to teach her what 'real' music was like. By the way, she saw Slipknot last weekend, not a bad upbringing I thought. You decide!

    • @christopherthompson3387
      @christopherthompson3387 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Gotta question.... Slipknot? Hmmm...but you're the dad, so you must have your particular reasons. Definitely Sex Pistols...every kid is gonna need to vent their frustrations and Johnny Rotten and the Pistols are the time-tested ultimate outlet and they are for real...but should be explained to your kid in the context of "the day". I would have thrown in some old school DEVO if she's curious about college or hovering anywhere near an honor role...or not. Anyway, like I said...you are the parent and you've made a good decision exposing your kid to the Sex Pistols...so she'll never be shocked at the appearance of another group again!

      cathal Sweeney...........Their music specifically didn't but they helped launch a hundred bands that did change music. There were so many bands that started after the kids saw the sex pistols. Many kids thought, fuck if THEY can do...this so could I. It was those kids and their music that morphed into new wave, post punk, synth pop ect....that's how the Pistols changed music. Joy Division being a perfect example of "the Pistols effect"

      Started playing Bass guitar in 81.
      Glen Matlock was my instant person to relate to. His bass playing, song writing is second to none.
      I must admit to enjoying reading other fans input...
      but till anyone becomes a musician themselves... Its just none existant.
