I’m a year older what times we lived in. Have just stopped going to Stranglers gigs not cos I’m to old just there’s only JJ left from the original line up.
I went to see one '77 punk band last year and they only had one member from the original road crew. Not even any of the original members from the band..
I was also 14 in 77... I'd got my first drum kit around that time, and my weekends were spent drumming along to Pistols, Clash, Buzzcocks. Went on to play drums in a few bands after that, and made a few recordings and still have the vinyl. Probably wouldn't have done what I did without the punk ideology, of pick up an instrument and play.
This is great. Hats off to Leeds Poly for recognising which way the wind was blowing. I didn't in 1976. If you weren't around at the time, it's hard to imagine what a Year Zero punk was. It was feared like the Book of Revelation by many people, including me.
I was 15 at the time, it’s impossible to overstate just how earth shattering this felt. McLaren is brilliant in this, he’s got his media face and voice on, playing the Establishment at their own game. The spirit of punk right there!
It was a real breath of fresh air at the time; I was 13/14 and up until then had no interest in music whatsoever, so they must have been doing something tight! Thanks for uploading.
He was, wasn't he. It's a pity our establishments aren't still run by good-humoured old Tories like him instead of the miserable overpaid lefty progressives they are today.
I really like the posh dean of the college. He's totally fair minded and progressive. Deliberately deaf to the hysteria and moral outrage exaggerated everywhere else, he has his definite principles about artistic freedom.
The Sex Pistols were one of the best rebel groups to come out of the UK and Malcolm McLaren knew how to milk the publicity machine. The punk movement really shook up the music industry. Personaly I love an intelligent rebel and Johnny Rotten was perfect at being that!
Hard to believe that the Sex Pistols were once considered public enemy number one. All pretty innocent considering some of the horrors that are still going on in the world.
I did not ever hear about The Sex Pistols in 1976 when i was 10.I only remember a kid at school in class 1977 saying theres a record thats come out that insults the Queen.I was fascinated but still never knew what band it came from.It was 1979 when i heard about the band The Sex Pistols but thought they were a disco band because i still never heard any song and disco was still the rage.It was only until 1981 that i got a single borrowed from a mate called Something Else,A Sex Pistols cover with the b side Friggin in the Riggin.So much dirty language in it made me chuckle
*That's interesting stuff. As a fan of the band, I don't consider anything without Rotten singing a Sex Pistols song. That was a Vicious song and a 'rugby song' for the documentary of the time. Glad you liked them, though*
they were such a shock to the establishment .........you can hear the disapproval in the interviewer...........most people in Britain in 1976 could not relate to that level of disaffection ..........as a 55 year old in 2024 AD unfortunately i now understand it completely !!!!!! as John would say............ ironic isn't it ?!
Unfortunately I was born in 1974 thus didn’t get to experience the Punk era; I would have preferred to have been born in 1950, so that I could have documented the Punk era using a decent still camera; and experience my favourite old Tube trains.
@PSYCHIC_PSYCHO 1974 i was at high school. Glam rock music was popular , with groups such as Slade , The Sweet , Glitter Band , Mott the Hoople , and singers like Suzi Quatro. Disco was kicking off , and soul / funk too.
@@PSYCHIC_PSYCHO What a great thought!...I was 16 in 1976, saw loads of punk bands, and even though I had a camera, never photographed any. Looking back, as a photographer now, I do regret not getting involved in that side of things. I could have potentially built an amazing collection, especially documenting many of the smaller bands. Maybe given to some photographic archive or museum and preserved for posterity. It's always clearer in hindsight.
@@innercityunit2112 I don’t blame you at all; after all you was a teenager, at that age one’s mind is racing and fascinated with life, especially music and sex, hence why you didn’t have the maturity to detach yourself as you were in it; had you been in your early twenties you would have recognised what was unfolding as being culturally significant thus would have thought of documenting the Punk scene using a camera. It wasn’t just the Punk scene that was most worthy of documenting, but also what followed ie the New Romantics scene. I don’t know if you were living in London back in the 70’s, if you were then let me jog your memory; do you remember the old red painted London Underground trains which body-sides that flared outwards at floor-level?; and another batch of Underground trains that were similar but in Aluminium colour whose body-sides also flared outwards at floor-level; these two batches also had glazed window openings that flared outwards. I don’t expect you to reply to this, but it’s up to you, nice meeting you.
The guy intervening sounds like he is from the 1920s, I remember this on TV, I had bought a ticket to see them in Newcastle and the council banned them so I got a refund for my ticket, I wish I had kept it now, be a collector's item, it cost me 75p I think, might have been £1.25, long time back now, next band was the clash but the council allowed them to play, in fact the council stopped banning concerts beside I think they realised how silly they looked, even my mum said it was the same with Bill Haley & the Comets when they played.
Here we are nearly 50 years on and we can now see the irreparable damage the Sex Pistols did to our society Its highly regrettable that our establishment couldn't stop them
@@davidsmith6355 I'm not being flippant at all. We now have a complete collapse in values in our society. Respectability is dead and people now revel in vulgarity and gratuitous hedonism. The last 60 years have been a race to the bottom. People have become lazy, self-centered and entitled. The Sex Pistols opened the pandoras box of narcissism and its led to our collapse.
@@dkizxpt-su3ze Perhaps that is true but the Sex Pistols were really the nail in the coffin of something that had already started with the hippie movement or perhaps earlier. I mean really what the sex pistols and punk were in essence was a vehicle to take the ethics of the widely middle class hippie movement and spread it among the working classes.
I was 14 in 77, it was being hit by lightning the first time I heard the Pistols,I am 60 now and still listen to all my Punk albums.

Well they are certainly no horrors going on in the music industry today..Horribly ‘boring’ maybe.

what damage are you referring to and why has it taken 50 years to see it? Or are you being flippant?
