Theres an argument that this particular reunion was amongst the greatest ever in terms of the live shows, truly phenomenonal stuff, sounded as good as they ever did and made the music sound vital and primal again. Superb
No band or album affected me like this one did. As a 15 year old kid, nothing came close. As a pushing 60 man, nothing has ever come close, and I don't think anything ever will. Punk started and finished with the Pistols. When John went, everything else to do with punk went too, for me, at least. Bollocks is the best album ever created, by the best band ever to exist.

@Gav Brady: Look . . . I like Steve Jones as much as you do. But it's just not correct to say that the lead guitar can be the glue of a band. It's drums or bass . . .
QED it’s Rhythm guitar actually 95% of the time and their is no real bass line in it, just the guitar riff played on one string basically. Steve and Paul are everything in the sex pistols coz they taught themselves and that’s what usually happens, you develop a unique and great style of playing in the process
It's amazing to hear the difference in what Steve is able to play when Glen plays bass. He doesn't have to play just a watered down rhythm track. Glen handles what Sid couldn't and allows Steve to show his chops. I love it!
@@revol148 you nailed it. Glen the most underrated Sex Pistol. It's almost like The Doors where there were two songwriters in the band except that Glen Matlock had some of the songs written even before Johnny Rotten joined; whereas Jim Morrison had most of the songs before he joined The Doors. Jim and Johnny some of the best lyricists of rock and roll and frontmen.
It always kills me when non musicians say "Those guys can't even play" or whatever. No, these guys are not "Yes" (thank god), but "they can't even play"??? They are freakin' killing it!! The rhythm section is absolutely LOCKED, and the guitarist is loose and tight at the same time. Johnny has a beautiful voice, too.
They don't understand it was more about the energy of punk rock, the lyrics the movement, not a fucking guitar solo that goes on for 10 mins. They sounded incredible
well i'm an geezer and remember when they first started and yes most of them could not play, they started to learn to be taken more serious as musicians & not just a chaos band, and came up with some great music
@Dark Heel Bullshit man. Lydon is a fantastic vocalist with excellent timing, Jones is an accomplished guitarist and Cook always held his own. It was only Sid who couldn't hold a lick.
@@antennawilde After listening to this I must say that Lydons vocals are as fucked as I remember them from the 96 Roskilde gig, where he got bottled of the stage for being a prick! Super annoying, not punk, just trying to wreck what the others are doing. Shabby goat, if you need words for it!
The clash,damned and pistols first albums were unique in that they all came together at a time when music was getting stale and needed livening up. 40_years on and they are all punk classics masterpieces still to this day. Only the damned are still touring but its good to revisit the music of my youth and still get a buzz from it.
@@mikewillis44 Having a scheming, two faced manager is the least of your problems when record companies are terrified of you, radio and TV won't play you and concert venues won't book you. The best managerial qualities of Brian Epstein, Peter Grant, Don Arden and Doc McGhee combined would have struggled to give the Pistols a future.
@@daveskritterkingdom Matlock was the original bass player in the sex pistols. but he should have remained so, when he left it was the beginning of the end, unfortunately
@Scotterket jatzen, did you see the Milwaukee show on the 1996 tour? Some fucker jumped on the stage and he has behind Rotten when the security guy jumped him, and between the two of them, they managed to push John over the monitor and he fell face first into the security pit. The show was stopped for at least 10 minutes or so while he got his breath back. It was scary there for a minute.
Paul and Glen were air tight keeping things moving forever. Steve was pure and perfect Rock guitar. And Johnny, my god, look at his eyes. Nobody has that same look. It was the look of Armageddon. The end of times. That was the Pistols. Never again to be repeated, let alone matched.....
Full marks to Paul Cook here - so many drummers lose their shit in front of a big crowd and play too fast. Cook is totally in control, he actually reins back the verses in "Anarchy" just to make sure they keep in check.
Oh yeah , Hats off to Steve Jones what a blazing rhythm guitarist he just nails it as all four of them did . Love the pistols and Of course Public Image 👍🇦🇺
Rock n punk bands have become too nice and corporate including new ones. Chamomile tea at 9pm in bed by 10.30. Punk n rock desperately needs the rawness, attitude and dysfunction back. Oasis was one of the last to bring it back. Every child, young adult, middle aged and OAP love at least a few rock songs, there's just no one ballsy enough to offer it at the minute
How INSANELY lucky is this crowd to be able to hear the Sex Pistols themselves play "Holidays In The Sun"... one of the greatest rock songs of all time!
everyone who went to this tour... everyone.. were not just surprised but ecstatic that the band was this good. i'm not sure what i was expecting, but... WOW...
The lads came a long way from their press conference announcing this tour in London. They looked all 30 lbs heavy,Impressive. Makes the Clash look like 8th grade. Pure venom with some nasty sound behind it. Glen Matlock great as a bass player.
Come on, there's no venom here! A sad sack of meat bags. Funny, though, never thought I'd be bashing my heroes, but hearing this crap again after refusing to for so many years...I immediately have to go back and listen to Bollocks and repeat that I never heard this or I'll never get that old man voice out of my head
+Alex Delvecchio please don't mention the Clash and the pistols in the same sentence as a brief listen to both London calling and Never mind the bollocks would indicate just how great the former were in comparison to these musically limited attention seekers who made one album and miked it ever since.
@@revol148 I think that both albums were great but London Calling was much more a rock album than punk. And if I could only take one of them to a desert Island, it'd be the Pistols.
After all these years I still love the sex pistols they're still my number one band when I was 14 years old and now I'm 49 years old and they still are my number one wish they came around again
F-king brilliant !!, BEST band i ever seen , they were a massive influence on the crap we hear today ,..IWANT 1 OF THEIR SONGS @ MY FUNERAL ,...How were a band so bad SOOOOO Goooood ?
If people want to really hear how good this band was, check out the Spunk release - demos from '76 and '77 before they booted Matlock (the most accomplished musician in the band) and replaced him with an image that McLaren wanted to have. They were a smoking good rock trio with an insane vocalist. Tight as hell.
1996 was fucking brilliant for music. That summer was the bollocks. Formed my first band, great weather, people were happy, I had money in my pocket (still do, but that was a first), had my first concert, great friends, live music in my hometown all the time, sussed out the fairer sex… all that. The best summer of my life.
I remember blaring Never Mind The Bollocks at the record department inside a large store I worked at when that album was released. First, The Ramones in 1976...now these guys I thought. People in the store were incensed..."what is that noise..they are terrible". That "noise" still plays in my house and I am forever grateful . Wish The Pistols could or would tour one last time.
...the pinnacle of Rocknrollistical mayhem, chaos and controlled fury. Even as a $$ reunion band they fucking scorched the stage. Brilliant rhythm section. My droogs. The greatest.
For my gorgeous boy KhaOs who got put to sleep in May. My old boy loved this song and sang (howled) everytime it came on with a big smile on his furry face. RIP KhaOs miss you boy 😔
Great to see a properly functioning Sex Pistols again, they were never the same without Glen driving the rhythm. Sid was nothing but a face and a bad joke. God Save the Sex Pistols.
How many ppl in this day and age can honestly say they don't like that first record? It's kind of amazing how ubiquitous such challenging music has become. I'll never forget getting some of my friends into Bollocks in the late 90's; these kids were gobbling up Nu Metal and Tool and shit and most of what they knew of as punk was Green Day - so to see eyes light up at Anarchy was a telling moment that the music stands the test of time. Course I have no idea how today's kids would react to this, now 20 more years later...but I suspect a decent number would get it. There's some kind of transcendent charisma amid the chaos and belligerence...definite catharsis.
There´s one thing missing...Johnny´s genuine anger. For me, it just doesn´t work without it. I don´t grudge them their audience´s enthusiasm, though. They deserve it for their one album alone.
I remember seeing them in Paris on that tour and they opened with "Bodies" and I was blown away with the sound SO massive...Steve Jones' tone had so much distortion...It was great hearing them with a "modern" sound...
Kings of punk .this record is so good . Steve Jones ,so good ,Paul pounds those drums , mattocks bass lines so good . Then Johnnys vocals wow ,when I first heard this , I was like wow . 50 years old still love it and I still play in a punk rock band .
One album. One single freaking album. The greatest of all times.
I agree with you one hundred percent

they are just so good and relevant even tho they only made one album they said it all

Im just glad he kept the Pistols music alive. Props to Matlock
They changed the music scene like no other band before them.or since
There will never be anyone else like Lydon. A TRUE Original. Icon
John Lydon shows what it's like to be a True Frontman
I’m dreading dying cause I will miss this band they are up there with the great ac/dc these 2 bands are what rock is all about 🤟🏼🇬🇧
How will you miss them if you're dead?
They were the best band ever in 1996 with Glen Matlock! Speed makes for excellent performances.
It's really too bad they could not have put our more music. What they have is great but wow - I'd sure like more from them.
less is more
They wouldn't be what they are if they put out more
Love how they’ve tuned down to a lower key but then Lydon just sings even higher the original
@4th Lensman Of The Apocalypse I’m correct. It’s lower than the album version
@4th Lensman Of The Apocalypse Lol. Good luck with that
There IS a Heaven because Jones" axe sounds like it!!
Greatest band ever
Still love this band!
