God save the Sex Pistols!

Hahahaha...you sure do love the NY Dolls, eh?

I figure if you play a stripped down version of the style you SHOULD like it...but i guess the pistols didnt play anything but a hyped up verion of shit

 

I love the Dolls dedication to rock-n-roll! They covered Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Sonny Boy Williamson, Gary US Bonds, Shangri Las, Willie Dixon, Gene Pitney, the Cadets, the Coasters, Eddie Cochran, Otis Redding, Archie Bell and the Drells and more. Johnny Thunders covered anybody else of import from the golden age of RnR in his post-Dolls career.

And their originals were 100% pure RnR too! 'Personality Crisis' has been described as a band playing 'Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On' and 'Jumpin' Jack Flash' at the same time. Their originals all had this 'we're gonna be blown up tomorrow so lets party today!' kinda vibe.

Rock-n-roll was put on life support on the sad day that Johnny and Jerry left the Dolls to form the Heartbreakers (a fantastic RnR band BTW) with Richard Hell. It hasn't recovered IMO.

Sex Pistols played nothing that resembled RnR in any way. They hated RnR and had a party on the anniversary of Eddie Cochran's death!! Just puke. That weasel McLaren will rot in HELL!!!

Yeah, I love the Dolls like Donald Trump loves money!! God bless Johnny Thunders and may He have mercy on the souls of McLaren and Rotten.

 

I dont think he will have mercy on them...they sinned in the the eyes of the punk rock god

 

Just replying to the OP..

You call the Sex Pistols raw..haha..must be the first punk band you have ever heard. That shit is manufactured..just like Britney Spears would be today..

 

THANK YOU! *bows*

 

Oh I just love Pretty Vacant. And here I am, hanging out in my Sex Pistols-shirt. I think it's cool that they were made to be like they were (and they put a lot of themselfs -ideas and thinking- into it) 'cause they were so much better than what Backstreet Boys and other made groups are/were.

 

fuck the sex pistols they were all about shock value they didnt actually mean anything they were saying. they weren't political but they screamed anarchy and basically acted as a release valve for the anger of several generations that should have been channeled to actually creating something significant. i mean they were half decent musically but they didnt care about punk or the kids buying their music and no culture can sustain itself and do anythign worthwhile that way...

if you like british punk rock from that era seriously check out crass, flux of pink indians, conflict, icons of filth...theres many more to list...

 

CRASS?
You MUST be joking!
They are a heap of SHIT!
Middle class twats in an Epping Forest commune.

 

and what would anarcho-punk been without them and the albums they helped to release? a heap of SHIT!

 

Anarcho-punk is a total naive, crock of shit!
Anarchy could and NEVER will work in the REAL world!
Get over it!

I mean come on, picture it, in a world of no law or rules, the nazi skinhead is gonna sit down beside the crusty, bi-sexual, hippy and share a bong and say "Hey man, I've been such a bad guy all my life, I think I'll go vegan".
And they all live happily ever after?

Don't think so!
The very people who shout for anarchy are the first ones who would be stomped into the ground!

 

you are speaking of anarchy as it is defined in the dictionary and i am speaking of it in terms of politics. as for nazi skins, there struggle is the exact opposite of ours, they view people as ideally subservient to the state while we view individuals cooperating as potentially making the state irrelevant, so in the event that anarchy exists the power of nazis will have been throughly smashed and run through...

 

besides why are you making it political? i said the sex pistols are shit, if you like there sound listen to crass for people who actually mean what they are singing...

 

Don't see the point there as the sound of the Pistols is very different to bands like CRASS, Icons of Filth and most anarcho bands.
As for CONflict meaning what they were singing, try asking Oi Polloi and a few other bands that they ripped off in the 1980's!

 

the pistols came to america,took a dagger,stuck it in the heart of the disco scene and gave it a few turns.like em or not you couldnt ignore them,and anyone that killed disco is tops in my book

 

The Sex Pistols are the shit.
Seriously.
Fuck yeah. <3

 

Sex Pistols changed music in the 70s. No one since has had the same impact in their generation. Not sure about John Lydon doing the butter adverts mind.

 

I love LOVE the sex pistols and sid and everything about them. I could listen to them every day for the rest of my life and die a happy lady.

 

I think you guys need to listen to some REAL punk and not that sex pistols crap. Id reccomend screeching weasel to start
