if you're serious, that makes your comment even funnier. That song is about a girl putting on a choker with a ankh dangling from it and realized guys started talking to her more often.

@@shockmonkeyradio7128 The ankh is a symbol of life, and the choker represents the constraints of societal expectations. It's a profound commentary on how superficiality can unlock doors in a shallow world. Ace of Base were clearly operating on a plane the rest of us mere mortals can only dream of.

@@GenericPerson123 no. They're on ecstasy.

@@shockmonkeyradio7128 This is Fred.

@@GenericPerson123 duh

oh yeah, those Richard Donner Superman movies were epic. I don't think they will ever do a better Superman movie like those again. Also, i know how it was back in the late 70s, early 80s. An album was like 3 weeks allowance so we played them until the tape snapped and we used scotch tape to fix it. If it makes you feel better, I am huge fan of Queen and Dave Matthews Band. While objectively better bands...they certainly are not cool.

that's kind of the point, i regret that i didn't touch on it, but Superman is the god-like character that has to be a part of everything happening the DC comics universe. therefore blood drives and Lois suffer for it. Superman is fictional, and yet is way more productive to think about than the very real and very terrible Sex Pistols.

@@mcgannahanskyjellyfetti6854 i was wondering if this video would get some comments today. Lol

well, he was the most trustworthy. No one believed those crazy Vikings.

@@alonsogomez1994 I love the internet. I do all these videos and second-guess myself thinking: "I hope this doesn't come off as weird." Then sometimes I get a comment on a video that makes me feel sane and centered.

thank you. I have been thinking of making a playlist of reviews...people seem to like them. I may do that this weekend.

I get too nervous on stage. I'm better alone with a camera.

@@shockmonkeyradio7128 I didn't construct that sentence very well about your Spiderman stand up,it must be the punk influence affecting my literacy.You seem so confident on this channel .Though Stand up can be pretty nerve wracking with the bottom line being a laughing audience.

@@MartinJones-f5o reactions in the moment distract me. If they laugh or not. You seem literate. You type a lot. What I think is funny is that no one commented on my ukulele videos saying I need to sing more. Johnny Rotten would whoop my ass at karaoke.

There's certainly less fans of Ace of Base. But I move on to other things. Blame it on my ADD, baby. After all, I didn't want to turn my channel into a "Nightwing's Butt" channel just because it is my most viewed video. Plus "slagging off punks" sounds more dirty here in America.

<sarcasm > because if they make an x-men movie they have to feature wolverine </sarcasm > I always liked B-tier heroes in comics. That's why Deadpool was so good. I think DC should make a Blue Beetle and Booster Gold movie. Good to know there is some cross-over between punk and comics nerds.

@@shockmonkeyradio7128 We do use the word nerd in Britain and America is to blame

Uh....thank you!

I hate busting my own hand.

I'd go as far to call The Sex Pistols "Performance Art", but they are objectively terrible. The talent is minimal, the music theory is non-existent, and the lyrics are shallow and offensive for it's own sake. Bo Burnham is a musician who wants to be a performance artist but The Sex Pistols were performance artists who wanted to be musicians. I wish they survived into the MTV Unplugged era and then everyone would understand what i'm talking about. (I watched that series "Pistol", that's what got me thinking about all this. That series is better than that band ever was.)

@@shockmonkeyradio7128 Taking it a point at a time I think the problem is that you have a subjective definition of "objectively terrible". "talent is minimal". Well I don't think anyone was ever claiming they were Genesis , but Matlock, Jones, and Cook are all decent musicians who were perhaps learning on the job. "music theory is non-existent" - it's not prog, it's three chord rock and roll ; the lyrics aren't the strongest (The Clash were better ) though Lydon has always had a knack for a memorable line, I'm not sure he'd agree with "offensive for it's own sake" though ; there was perhaps an element of performance art with Lydon though he wouldn't call it that, more that he refused to take the role of rock star seriously, the rest of teh performance art aspects came from Malcolm McLaren. Jones , Cook and Matlock I think just wanted to egt on with being a rock band, it's telling that afdter the Pistols they formed the Professionals who were pretty much just a rock band. I saw them live twice when they reformed , again a good band with the weak point being that Lydon by that point sounded liek a pantomime dame making a hideous wailing noise - he sounded great in the 70s , even if he wasn't a conventyional singer. Pistol from the clips I've seen looks terrible, I'm going to read the Steve Jones biography it's based on instead.

@@Morphstock ive learned way more about punk than i ever wanted to.

@@shockmonkeyradio7128 Happy to have been of assistance! : - )

Oh, my bad. I'm curious, what do you call cigarettes?

I hope that's sarcasm.

I'm English so I was being gently sarcastic

@@shockmonkeyradio7128 I think to Americans we either sound like Dick Van Dyke or the members of the Royal Family which is okay because I don't understand the East Coast

@@shockmonkeyradio7128 sometimes they're called ciggies and fags which I think means a homosexual to you.Just be thankfully because if us British weren't so handy with a musket you'd be speaking French

@@MartinJones-f5o I'm unfamiliar with regional accents in Jolly Ol' England. Never been. Mostly my English accent is pulled from a bunch of Monty Python skits.

Also play trumpet and brass, guitar, piano, no luck with wood winds (the teeth). Can read and write music...argued with guitar heroes who only read tabs. Listening to music doesn't make anyone an expert on music.

Need more patrons so I can visit the barber more frequently.

Gambling is like guns. Probably best not to pick it up at all.

When it comes to UK punk though as you rightly said sex pistols was all about aesthetics. A better example showcasing the uk punk scene while also being popular would be either the clash or the undertones. But that’s just my opinion

...a very dirty lab.

@@shockmonkeyradio7128 agreed, what punk bands do you like?

@@longpigpie3584 none of them. But if it makes you feel better, I don't like country music either

@@shockmonkeyradio7128 that’s fair I’m not super keen on punk or country

Based upon your subjective opinion?

i knew i would come to regret giving Cobain too much credit.

I think it was actually Steve Jones playing the bass. Not Sid though.

You know most "real" punks are grandparents now.

@@shockmonkeyradio7128 Darby Crash isn't.

@@JeneralDethray was he the guy from the sex pistols that ODed on heroin?

@@shockmonkeyradio7128 no that was Gary Floyd

@@JeneralDethray hard to keep track of all the terrible musicians who OD...

Now that's funny!

Yet. The t-shirts have survived

Holy hell what an asinine comparison

Yoda? Is that you?

Another terrible band. Wow, there's a lot of tone deaf people out there, eh?

@@shockmonkeyradio7128 I'm not tone deaf by any stretch, I love it. You sound like a 77 year old man in 1977, an anachronism of an anachronism.

@@shockmonkeyradio7128 I was a music fan since childhood and a music journalist in the 70s and 80s in the UK and like all kinds, from west coast jazz to the Velvet Underground and Love. To me the Pistols were really a singles band. Bollocks doesn't work as a coherent album and the best songs were the work of Glen Matlock. The Spunk bootleg demos is a better listen. Sid Vicious had no talent whatsoever of course, but the Pistols weren't just about fashion, though the punk scene was infested with outfits inspired by their success far more deserving of that insult for sure.

@@Mistersandyrobertson there's no accounting for taste. I can't stop people from liking terrible music. However, ranking the Sex Pistols as better than The Stones, Van Halen, and Motley Crue, as Gavin did, is a bridge too far.

@@shockmonkeyradio7128 I cannot disagree with that!
