Alternative Ulster by stiff little fingers, the opening guitar riff hooked me for life. Irish punk that had Catholic and protestant members which was unheard of at the time. Songs like suspect device, and at the edge we're the punk anthems of my childhood.Though the pistols were essential listening ! 🤭❤️
Stiff Little Fingers were my favourite band in my teens, I saw them live twice. Happy days 😊
@@kevinturner3997 me too! Once at Glasgow once at Newcastle. Happy times. Though very loud ! 😄
Oh yes
In total agreement to the intro riff to that song
Buddy of mine gave me my first dose of them with the "Hanx" Lp shortly after is was released.. I was in New York about ten years later or so and picked up a second live lp from like later in their career. The songs had slowed some but the passion was still there.
We went to see them about 10 years ago when they came back around. Still touring. And still kicking ass.
I'm 71 now, but I remember buying this single like it was yesterday. The record shop (in Glasgow, Scotland) was entirely staffed by long haired hippies and the contempt with which I was handed the record was palpable. A few weeks later the shop had the song playing on a loop through the PA. Half the staff had spiky hair, and were wearing bondage trousers with ripped t-shirts held together by safety pins. Anarchy!!! 😂
It's amazing how quickly it was embraced in the UK, like it was something the kids had been missing, but didn't know it.
I remember walking into a guitar shop in 78 and seeing a sign saying, 'anyone playing Stairway to Heaven will be asked to leave'. 😂
I think it became quite common.
@@StevenCorr I think that's still quite common in guitar shops actually. Punk was such a refreshing change from some of the pretentious bloated "prog" rock that was around in the mid-seventies. To an extent we threw out the baby with the bathwater, because there was still some great progressive music being made, but sneering at hippies was an essential part of the fun.
My son did a solo performance of "Holiday in the sun" at his grade 7 school concert (15 yrsago), and I knew at that moment he would be fine because he had all the education he'd ever need 😂😂😂 proudest day of my life
This is from Never Mind the Bollocks. One of the greatest and most important rock n roll albums ever
Sid's image of the band's 'bad boy' was exactly that, just an image. The real bad boy was guitarist Steve Jones, who wasn't afraid to sneek into the backdoor of music stores or warehouses to nick some stuff. A good deal of the band's instruments and equipment were 'collected' in this way 😁
The Ruts - staring at the rude boys... my absolute fav
I second, third and fourth THIS! ^^
proper underated band
The DVD "There'll Always Be An England" is a great concert DVD from the temporarily reunited original Pistols. It's fantastic, and the crowd is a joy to watch. "Did You No Wrong" is my favorite from that show. And the first three studio albums from John Lydon (Rotten) 's Public Image Ltd. are off the scale in terms of completely uncompromising anticommercial music. There's nothing like them.
Love your honest reaction and amazement at this
GET PISSED, DESTROY
theres a film about the sex pistols called ''the great rock n roll swindle'' its a punk musical
Of the top 3 songs on this Sex Pistols album you have now listened to 2 of them. The 3rd one is "Holidays in the Sun".
This is epic. I remember when they arrived on the top ten list as no 1 with God save the queen. Cheers from Sweden. 🇸🇪🥂👊
This is one of those songs where "dance as though no-one is watching" applies!🏴
It's a shame you weren't around to experience this era in person. You would've fitted in perfectly.
😂
Major bands from the first wave of UK punk were the Pistols, Clash, Damned, Stranglers, Buzzcocks. Of the bands that followed the initial wave, The Ruts were probably the most outstanding.
Going to see Ruts DC in Bristol next week.
They've actually improved with age.
Not exactly pure punk, but you have to get into the "STRANGLERS" (you will obviously already know their hit "golden brown").
Try an album called
"When the punks go marching in"
by ABRASIVE WHEELS.
A song called
"you're a fucking bastard"
by THE EXPLOITED will blow you away (great artwork).
Lastly, you will absolutely love a song called
"Sick boy" by the band
"GBH" !
I HOPE YOU ENJOY THEM 👍🏻
(Make sure there is nothing you can knock over and break when you listen to the last 2 songs)😁
Try The Damned, especially the early stuff, New Rose, Neat Neat Neat, also have a look at The Stranglers stuff as well. There's a huge rabbit hole to go down there. Try it, you'll love it.
Outside the UK you could try Holidays In Cambodia or California Uber Alles by The Dead Kennedys or I’m Stranded by The Saints.
paul cook is on drums. steve jones on guitar.
As ive said before this LP changed my life was 14, Pretty Vacant , Holidays in the Sun and a real nasty song Bodies all on this 1 LP along with the two you have seen
Another Sex pistol's song that you should check out is "Don’t Give Me No Lip Child". And another couple of punk songs by UK bands I would recommend are "A New Rose" by The Damned and "So What" by Anti-Nowhere League (I warn you though, arguably the latter has the most offensive lyrics ever). Despite being from the UK though, my personal favourite punk band is very much American. The Dead Kennedys. I highly recommend their entire back catalogue, although my personal favourites by them are "Holiday in Cambodia", "Too Drunk to F**k" and of course their most famous song "California Über Alles".
Yes back then Punks, would spiy on bands that they loved..True Fact.
Listen to the whole "Never Mind the Bollocks" album and call it a day. It's s classic.
The Adverts - Gary Gilmores Eyes
The Damned - Love Song
Siouxsie and the Banshees - Love in a void
The Ruts - Babylon is burning
@@der_vicus nice mix! I'd add I'm an upstart - angelic upstarts to that playlist maybe even some sham69 though they were a little plastic,but catchy! 😄
My favorite band from that era is the cramps, try , human fly, first. You won't be disappointed
I very much respect Johnny, he looked after his wife until she died.
The wife of the Sex Pistols frontman passed away after a years-long battle with Alzheimer's. Nora Forster, the wife of Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon better known as Johnny Rotten, died this week following a years-long battle with Alzheimer's.7 Apr 2023
Nora's daughter Ariane was singer in The Slits, sadly she passed away in 2010 aged just 48 after suffering from breast cancer.
Stiff little fingers .suspect device .quality Irish Lads .
Thank you for making this reaction video. You might want to check out "Bodies" by them as well.
Sid Vicious could not play bass and had the amp off a lot on live gigs , its all lead guitar , drums and vocals . Steve Jones lead guitar , Paul Cook , Glen Matlock Bass in this video and song but replaced by Sid and of Johnny Rotten who went on to form Public Image Ltd
Check out New Rose by The Damned. Another big UK punk band from that era.
You're spot on about how the social and economic situation in the UK (and North America for its punk scene) gave rise to the scene and are inseparable from the music. I'd recommend Pretty Vacant as a next stop in your Sex Pistol travels, I think it's their most accomplished song, and there's at least one superb mashup of it floating around - Fade to Pretty Vacant by DJ Copycat.
PRETTY VACANT! PRETTY VACANT!
Love your reaction! You get it! Please try No Feelings.
I still think to this day, in regards to swearing on record, the song, 'Bodies', from Never Mind the Bollox is still the most shocking I've ever heard.
The whole album is incredible but if you want shock and outrage, Bodies still delivers. 👍🏻
.... you never heard 'So What' by the Anti-nowhere League' then?
@petegriffiths8239
Of course I have.
My point still stands.
So, what was brilliant, and I saw them playing it back in May.
But it doesn't have anything like the rage that Lydon gives Bodies.
Not anywhere near it.
It's a comedy song in comparison, but I love it.
@@StevenCorr your right about the different delivery of the 2 songs.
You can't go wrong with any track off Never Mind The Bollocks. Holidays in The Sun or No Feelings are deffo worth checking out 👍
Watch the video "Urgh: A Music War". It's a compilation of live performances from that crossover period from punk to "New Wave" and varies from epic to jaw-droppingly weird. It is the absolute best live performance of the time and includes a LOT of famous bands while they were still relatively unknown. The individual songs as well as the full vid used to be available on UA-cam but you know how that goes... Well worth the time and should be part of everyone's musical history schoolin'.
Oh and yes, he spit on the audiences regularly as well as vomiting on them and bleeding on them.
John Lydon today is one of THE most sincere and 'nice' people. Talks so much sense about todays world. Google him - plenty on YT.
ngl I subbed when you laughed at someone getting spat on😆
Maybe you'll get around to the band "The Jam". Start at the beginning with "In the City" from 1977.
The proper beginning - Art School
@@NorthernSoulGer that would be fine by me
Essential British punk is Buzzcocks Spiral Scratch EP.
Congrats at finding the true essence of rock and roll. The sea pistols attitude is what rock and roll truly is, defiant!
Have a look at New Rose by the Damned and Teenage Kicks by the Undertones, I was 17 at the time and for me along with the Sex Pistols singles they sum up the whole UK punk scene of the era.
I suggest the first UK Punk single. New Rose by The Damned, (Obviously any assertion about being first is going to be disputed, but this one has a very strong claim.)
Bodies...Sex Pistols
Try Bodies by Sex Pistols
They do a great version of Iggy pops “no fun”
It's here 2024
My favorite UK punk bands are Crass (anarcho-punk), Angelic Upstarts, Discharge, Poison Girls, Au Pairs, and (some may disagree) Chumbawamba. Some US bands you might consider are The Plasmatics (metal punk), The Dead Kennedys, The Ramones, and Black Flag.
Studio version, not live. Watch their last concert in San Fran. Saw them live years later in Glasgow.
It was a great time. I didn't dress up but kept my lhippy long hair. If you know the British TV Show The Young Ones, I was the idiot hippy..
Try Sid Viscious' version of My Way. Also great
Punk was a lifestyle! If the artists had only left it on the stage, perhaps punk would have lasted longer! Ironically, it all self destructed!
Pistols were our antidote for all of the hard core jazz and prog rock we were listening to in college. So fun. For the Clash, try Guns of Brixton.
The Ramones for sure. Rockaway Beach is my fave. Enjoyed this!
The UK punk scene was very much of it's time and place - you had to be there to really understand the impact on our world back then of conformity and blandness. You would have loved it! Fortunately for me I was in the right place at the right time. Sadly I didn't get to see the Pistols but they had a profound effect on UK culture (not just music) at that time.
EMI is another great song of theirs, telling the tale of their brief stay with record companies, EMI and A&M, who thought they were onto the next big thing until they couldn't handle all the negative publicity. They then signed with Virgin Records, a new label founded by a very youthful Richard Branson and the legendary Never Mind the Bollocks album was released under that label.
They made a huge impression on me and led the way for many great bands (and first single) - The Clash (White Riot), The Damned (New Rose - credited as the first UK punk single), The Stranglers (Get a grip on yourself), The Jam (In the city), Siouxie and the Banshees (Honk Kong garden), X-Ray Spex (Oh bondage up yours!), Penetration (Don't dictate), just to name a few of my favourites!
Glen Matlock was the original bass player before Sid and went on to form the Rich Kids with Midge Ure (later of Ultravox and co-writer with Bob Geldof of the 'Band Aid - Do they know it's Christmas' song). Cheers.
I'd say as well as The Sex Pistols and The Clash, check out Crass and The Ruts (both UK bands and from the same era). For much more modern UK Punk I'd highly recommend Gallows, when I was 16-17 they solidified what Punk is to me when I saw their performance on TV at the Manchester Apollo in 2007 (Rockworld.TV). The performance has been uploaded to youtube.
Angelic Upstarts "Police Oppression "
The Pistols and all that came with them were a reaction to the state of the UK at the time. This was their first recorded output, came out as a 7 inch single in 77. The UK was in economic decline. There was nothing for the youth of the time. Unemployment was very high. The Pistols expressed the feeling on the streets perfectly. They were a one off. Not built to last. They imploded very quickly. But at the time lyrics like 'anarchy for the UK' and 'no future for you' caught the mood of the time.
Social Distortion" Mommy's little monster " from Orange County. Bad Brains from Jamaica . TSOL again from Orange county. Fear from San Francisco. Just a few American punk bands that that pushed the scene. U.K band The Exploited.
My favorite Sex Pistols songs hands down has to be Pretty Vacant. Misfits are from New Jersey.
The stranglers Rattus Norvegicus and No More Heroes, are fantastic, try them.
The Misfits are from New Jersey. After they split, they're singer started a band called Samhain that got signed by Rick Rubin and had to change their name to Danzig. The lead singers, Glenn Danzig, stage surname.
Hi there lanae I’m a new subscriber and I like the way your enthusiasm about British punk seen has got yr excited but the is more and more but try this group, they called the members and the song is sound of the suburbs it’s a little cracker ??
And - small tidbit - the drummer of the Sex Pistols, Paul Cook, has a daughter named Hollie Cook that is a great reggae singer. It's great stoner reggae LOL but beautifully sung. She's currently active.
Sid Vicious did a solo single of My Way the Frank Sinatra , crazy video and hilarious
Sex Pistols forever 🖤
The Sex Pistols kicked off their American tour with some gigs in Texas in January 1978. It lasted just 2 weeks before it fell apart and the band split up for good. Check out some footage.
A few suggestions:
1) The Clash - Rock The Casbah
2) Black Flag - Rise Above
3) The Undertones - Teenage Kicks
4) Hüsker Dü - Could You Be The One
5) Stormtroopers of Death - Milk
6) Misfits - Die, Die, Die my Darling
If nothing else, the selection is diverse and leads you in many directions
If you wanted go check out some female led Aussie punk, Amyl and the Sniffers might be right up your alley. Guided by Angels. Amy is somerhing else.
Someone probably already mentioned it, but there's a TV series called "Pistols" about the band. It's really good.
If you want UK, The Stiff Little Fingers are a good choice. If US as well, The Descendents and Minor Threat, and Bad Brains.
Need to listen to some early Stranglers for 1977 anything from Rattus Norvegicus or No More Heroes
Song - Submission
my fave pistols song is, 'bodies' and ' pretty vacant., other good punk bands are, : xray specs, the exploited,

Try......Conflict - Conflict (1982) awesome!
Play EMI !.
Scotland UK 67
Do "Bodies", "Submission," and "EMI."
The original line-up of the Sex Pistols - and the guys who play on every studio recording - are Johnny Rotten (John Lydon), Steve Jones, Glen Matlock, and Paul Cook. Sid Vicious was a friend of the band and came in to replace Matlock on bass after he was sacked by management. Unfortunately, Sid was one of the worst musicians of all time and could barely play his instrument. So when you're listening to their studio recordings, it's Glen Matlock on bass, or occasionally guitarist Steve Jones subbing on bass. It's never Sid.
You have to check out "Pretty Vacant", "Holidays In The Sun" and "Did You No Wrong".
