Iggy and the Stooges were punks WAY before the Pistols!
I like a few of the Pistols songs but I always prefered The Clash. isn't their relationship sort of a Beatles/Stones thing? The Beatles got more "acclaim" and "credit" but the Stones were the better band?
I quite like those wacky Ramones, too--recently bought the first two remasters!
Ah, hell---just like what ya like! |

I have just a single name when people talk about punk music... RAMONES!
I saw it live a lot of times (12 times exactly) and is the best punk band in my opinion.
And the best of all, they loved my country

Madafaka, I love the Ramones, Clash, Pistols, Dead Boys, and so on, but the greatest Punk band of all was the Heartbreakers, in my opinion. The great Johnny Thunders is sorely missed. |

I thought Johhny Thunders was at one time with the NY Dolls. |

Last verse of Anarchy, they switch the inflection on "I wanna be...." Incredible! Go check it out and agree with me. Small change, absolute brilliance, whether they even knew it or not. Stonesish move.
Yes, I was kidding about Vicious-virtuousity. I was hoping Mr. T would go bananas. I read a book on the Pistols once that said Vicious didn't even know how to play when he joined the band. |

I was just watching a video of the Pistols @ Budokan in '96...and I forgot how fucking good it was. I've watched the thing 10 or 12 times at least...and Johnny STILL cracks me up.
It was so good...I think I'm gonna watch it again tonight.

Pete Townshend went out drinking with two members of the Sex Pistols in January of 1977 and woke up many hours later in a Soho Doorway with a policeman leaning over him and asking the legend if he remembered his own name ?????
Pete scratched his head and said , " Huh ??? "
The policeman goes , " Well , if you can remember your name ' PETE ' , then I will not run you in this evening and you can go home and sleep in your own bed . "
The rest , my Stones Brothers and Sisters , is how they say ................................History .

Pete was skin popping with Jones that night.
I wish I could skin pop with a Sex Pistol. Yeah, you heard me, I said I wish I could skin pop with a Sex Pistol!
"10 hours in the tin can, Ronnie!" |

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm ! Smaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack !
Pete also " skin popped " with Paul Weller and Steve Strange at the " Club for Heroes " in September of 1980 . Later that evening , in the wee wee hours when the Petey went to the toilet to take a pee , somebody shot him up with a speedball and left him there to die . Pete's driver / bodyguard came into the Club looking for him , found the " great one " slumped over a stall and carried Pete over his shoulder and propped the man up inside the car where he noticed that Pete's lips were purple and his skin was blue . The driver was very concerned that " The Chairman " might " kick it " that very evening so he drove him to the Emergency Room where several doctors were alerted to his arrival and began working on resuscitating his heart which had stopped beating . Their efforts and the driver's quick thinking saved Pete's life as he was only seconds away from Cardiac Arrest . Pete later admitted that whilst the medical personnel were busy working on him he had an " out - of - body experience " and promptly composed the classic song " Athena " .

I wonder if Keith and Pete ever skin popped together? I kinda doubt it. Pete is cerebral and Keith is loinal. Those distinct types usually don't skin pop together, although they sometimes meet for drinks.

I never cared about tracks, in fact, I wear them as a badge of honor.
The neck scars from "jugging" have faded with time and now look like messy hickeys. I suppose in another ten years they will look more like liver spots that anything reprobatable. |

The Pistols and what they " stood " for in thier time was cool. But, this is a frigging joke. They are going against everything that they really were about...... |

Well, the gist of what's being debated here is not past tense but present. They WERE, but ARE they? Do they have the right to come back from the dead and play Vegas? I say HELL yes. It's a different sort of subversion. Like Martha My Dear said, their original US tour was mostly cowboy bars, because playing CBGBs and Max's would've been too predictable. I think seeing them in a casino would be a hoot, but I'm glad I'm going to see their ONLY US gig in an actual punk club.
They're not the same as they were in '77. Neither are the Stones, and neither am I. Now they're just a great band playing great music.
When I saw them in '96 at Roseland, I was in the middle of maneuvering across the dancefloor when they broke out "God Save The Queen". I thought there might NOT be a future for me. All hell broke loose! People went NUTS, and the band sounded like GOD. It was one of those defining moments, and I sure didn't go in there looking for any of THOSE.
Hey, I'm not about to argue with anyone about the merits of the Sex Pistols. You either get it or you don't, but their importance is pretty much a given. Like the Stones, it's not ALL about the music, not by a long shot. It's about the listener, what that music once meant, and what it means now.

The way I see it is that I OWE the Sex Pistols whatever they are charging for a ticket. I'll even kick in for some merch too.
I wasn't old enough to go see them on their first "tour" of Honky Tonks. And if Johnny is to be believed, he didn't get paid for that tour...in fact he went in the hole to buy his own airplane ticket back to London.
And this is why I don't care if they are cashing in now. None of the Sex Pistols ever got rich from being a Pistol. But they SHOULD have. The Pistols and The Clash SAVED my Rock & Roll soul. Strummer is gone now, so I can't pay him back anymore...but there is still Johnny & Co. THEM I can pay back.
Besides, what could be more fun than seeing a really great band, in a dinky dingey club, with some good friends? It's not just a show...it's an adventure!!!
I can't figure out your watery love... |

Phil Lynott - RIP. Thin Lizzy knew the score.
Just remembering how the Pistols made the national news on more than one occasion during that '77 tour. They showed bits of the most extreme concert footage they could find and then had a reporter outside some of the southern clubs pitching the whole thing with alternating mild amusement and disgust - spitting on the audience seemed to be the thing he harped on the most, along with replays of Lydon practically vomiting the line "she ain't no human being!"
I was 11 years old and just shocked. How could anyone want to go see this stuff? Why aren't these people in jail?
Long live the Sex Pistols! |

Yeah, Lizzy were a great and sadly forgotten 70s blues rockers. They blew doors on most of their competition still somehow surviving in the "classic rock" world. I had most of their stuff lying around on vinyl and tape until I picked up Dedication last year. Nice package. "She Knows" "Cowboy Song" "Jailbreak" "Whiskey in the Jar" and a whole lot more.
Hey Zeeta, are you going to any London shows? |

I'm working on it mate! The � are not allowing much and I'm moving to the capital in a few weeks so it's all a bit tight. Met some guy the other night who said he had tix to the Twickenham show and he may fix me up at an OK price. It will be an unpromped piss up for all 'round Bill's place!!!!!!! I *hopefully* will be there,
Matt
