what do you think of the sex pistols? i used to like them, but now i see they kinda suck. bad. i dont hate them, but i wish the ramones would get more credit than the sex pistols. (from what i know, they came first... and i've researched this for a report i did) sid vicious was pretty dumb, arrogant, and a nasty human being. so many people worship the guy, and he couldnt play bass. i kinda still like the sex pistols songs, but i dont have too much respect for the band itself. im sorry if i offended anyone, i guess the sex pistols could've been worse. oh, and didnt their manager put the band together AND tell them how to dress? and what's so "romantic" about sid and nancy? please answer these questions and tell what you think. -rainbow
ya, that is kinda the punk attitude, i guess. but there are many punks i think are "nasty", but i like.. im kinda considered a punk by some. i dont know, sid just seems to be un-respectable. he was only fashion. but isnt that what punk is kinda about (whether people are willing to admit it ot not).. i could get into a HUGE discussion about this, but i wont. i have actually defended the sex pistols at times, because i knoe people thatLOATHE the sex pistols, adn that's not right. the sex pistols are just "fashion punk", so people can wear their shirts adn think their punk and look cool.
i used to have four albums of this band i made some good drawings listening to them but im not into punk not at all...
Punk isn't my cup of tea but I'll listen to The Sex Pistols if I'm in the right mood. It kind of sucks that Sid Vicious is such a cult figure considering he couldn't play bass! In my opinion that's not much different from the whole Milli Vanilli fiasco, but compare Sid's reputation with theirs. I agree with babyfreak though, Sid is hugely responsible for the typical obnoxious punk attitude but if he wasn't so cool, he'd be labelled as a poser. But still, stick on Holidays in the Sun and watch me groooooove
Sex Pistols was my favourite band, when I was 13-14 years old, when I was 15 I thought their music sucks, but their attitude and all things punk is cool. Now everything is so full of punk, that it has become sooo booring, and I can't get no thrill of listening the Pistols.
sid (real name john lol) was just a fan who happened to be asked to join. malcolm maclaren ruined the pistols, he purposely made them sound shit on stage just to make the image. junk ruined sid aswell
Punk isn't really about the music. If you rate Sex Pistols or the Ramones on their music, they suck. Simpleton progressions and played out chords, 1 and a half minute songs, etc. For god's sake, the sex pistols were put together like n'sync or the backstreet boys. That's right, they are so punk that they were put together to make money. I used to like punk when I was younger, until I noticed that I knew people personally who could play better than most of these bands, and that the whole 'punk' thing is basically a bunch of whiney kids complaining about bullshit.
Both were good bands. However, the Pistols revolutionised music with their energy and attitude a tad more than the Ramones. Also, I think the Ramones were more of a punk-era band, as opposed to an out and out punk band. Their music is notably different. Only the Clash really approached the Pistols as a punk band force at the time. Sid Vicious an asshole? Yeah, he probably was, but so was Jonny Rotten, and plenty of musicians before and since! It was part and parcel of their appeal to the youth of the '70s, and outrageous indignation they instilled in the establishment and parents.
So what is Good Charlotte? (Besides one of the shittiest bands I have ever had the horrible misfortune of hearing)
All those 'punks' on mtv I mean, whatever that is, that's the genre I'm talking about. They all sound the same, and all follow the rules of my other post, simpleton progressions, played out chords, etc. It's the new age shitfest that carries on where shitheads like the exploited and sex pistols left off.
yeah, but i think good charlotte is worse than the sex pistols (music-wise), i'd rather be around good charlote than the sex pistols though
