Frank Carter & Sex Pistols - full show - The Forum, London - 26 Sep 2024

[@BikesCarsandChat]

I had my doubts, but the lad absolutely smashed it! 👌👍

[@AVOLdesign]

Absolutely brilliant, thanks a lot for filming and posting! The best English band, playing some of the best songs ever written. There is still nothing like the sound created by Steve, Glen and Paul. And Frank Carter is the perfect front man for this band! Let's hope they will play more shows!

[@SimonSanders1]

You're very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Easun36]

...and record new tunes!

[@Kit-l6f]

Amen

[@Kit-l6f]

Yeah didn't expect it to either but Franks just great!

[@Kit-l6f]

If only they'd met you 40 years ealier

[@coslifehurts]

Amazing fabulous. Stumbled across this after stumbling across Steve Jones podcast! This is just brilliant.

[@lukewarmaus]

you've just been stumbling across everything!

[@damianrf6309]

Middle-aged men pogoing with their iPhones…Punk’s not dead.

[@Kit-l6f]

It's never been punk it's rock n roll

[@Chaosticsoda]

I'm a massive Johnny fan but Frank has fucking smashed it.

[@jarrahdrum]

thanks for this front row view, subscribed

[@Mark-m1i9u]

Fkin brilliant! Frank has been a revelation in all these recent gigs.

[@blairgowans4625]

Frank Carter is a gun. He's the only person that could have pulled this off. Well done boys.

[@cogleypeter6697]

just fantastic so happy frank did this and thank,s for posting this video

[@Wearenotreallyhere]

Impossible to fill Lydon’s shoes but fuck this is energised!! This just shouldn’t work but does, really well!

[@zoltan-zq3xe]

Agreed love John 100%

[@somoslasfieras]

Well,Lydon is more charismatic,but this guy cant sing in tune,and Lydon dont... i like better this guy to be honest.

[@BoRag70]

I was thinking the same but he does a good job actually. 👍

[@thericker41]

amazing...

[@felipecarvajal4764]

Absolutely agreed

[@Kit-l6f]

Steve, I was clasically trained but you taught me how to play rock n roll, thanks mate, really to meet ya some day. My name's Kit, cheers

[@marcgrant1721]

I can't believe it's not but.... holy fuck it's frank carter!!!

Absolutely spot on and they all looked as though they were really enjoying it! Top night out

He can't sing 😂

[@mycallhill]

Frank Carter was phenomenal;how can he sing so well while crowd surfing;amazing;that guy has so much energy;the rest of the lads were fantastic ;best concert I ever been to(;big festival invites next year?????

[@mondozilla69]

It was brilliant! As was the Birmingham gig. Frank is the man!

[@nambc777]

And he can actually sing !!!! 😅😅

[@ianwhitehead691]

P.I.L

[@praximan-ke8ek]

I would just like to say what a fantastic job the security guys at the front did/do at this gig Just watch them in this video and see their high levels of competence and professionalism What a team!

[@memetcand]

thank you very much friend!

[@brothermoto1964]

Fantastic!! Hopefully someone did an equally as good a job for Rock City so I get to enjoy that again.

[@newcybrown6352]

Good job mate . Thanks .

[@AnthonyInglis-z5g]

The band was tight and enjoying themselves. Carter brings a new lease of life to them. I would definitely go and see them again. I hope they write and record some new material, would love to see what they could come up with. Johnny who?

[@brimans3092]

Totally agree mate.. Would love to hear some new songs while they are this fresh and tight.. And if people can't handle that then they can go do one... Was same argument when Ronnie Biggs got involved but we kiddy punks back then loved that...

[@garydickinson8013]

When the lyricist and singer is no longer part of the band, it will be completely different material, with that on mind, why not a different name too?

[@AnthonyInglis-z5g]

@@garydickinson8013 . No need for a name change. They have the best brand name in the punk genre. Bands can survive a singer change and they have more than enough experience between them to produce new tunes, especially with Matlock onboard.

[@garydickinson8013]

@@AnthonyInglis-z5g I disagree, but it's all about opinions isn't it.

[@DrDemetrio]

​@@garydickinson8013Glen Matlock wrote the songs dipshit

[@BadLuckLuke]

They should definitely record new material

[@mht525]

Awesome 2025 and Still doing it. The band even care to be in tune. Pistols for Australia..... Punk 4eva 🏴🇦🇺

[@andyluckett4053]

nice one, great night

[@clausm2203]

Thanks for sharing

[@SimonSanders1]

You're welcome!

[@dumpwoodhere]

Well done for catching this juggernaut of a band mate. I only saw the reformed pistols years ago but it was like seeing the Beatles.

[@ianroberts1421]

30 years sober and straight and playing brilliant guitar. What a total legend

[@martinmcdonald9575]

Amazing footage..

[@neilb224]

They sound better now than they did back then 😂😂👍👍👍

[@TrentPiker]

Fkin brilliant!

[@anthonychappell9409]

Gotta say I'm well impressed... Hats off to Frank Carter, he done a cracking job. Great show

[@davebrucelee2011]

Great night , i watched em in Birmingham

[@alanstewart6408]

Best gig I’ve attended this year. They absolutely smashed Glasgow 🇬🇧

[@StephenMerchant-up8sg]

Carter boy done good!

[@jameswarhol442]

I'm not an animal !...I'm not an animal!...I'm not an animal!...............Brilliant stuff. I rarely do this but I have to take back my comment from several weeks ago where I said I wouldn't pay to see this. I'm not a purist and have no problem not seeing Mr Rotten front the proceedings.......but my initial impression was been there, done that. However I've come to see Mr Carter brings a new freshness to the original madness and that's all that really matters. Hopefully they'll bring this racket to the colonies sometime soon.

[@nobbytart27]

Great comment, i was exactly the same, this gig was quite simply fucking amazing, unless you can score a De Lorean this is as close to the original as your ever going to get

[@AnthonyInglis-z5g]

@@jameswarhol442 . Well done on the change of mind. If you get the chance go and see them, it’s well worth the time and effort. Best gig atmosphere I’ve enjoyed in years, it was like being on a football terrace back in the 70’s with the crowd swaying.

[@juansstein]

epic night out.

[@Dropkick67]

great vid hanx!!!

[@garyhillman4993]

Magic saw em in 77 hate to see them getting old but it comes to us all n quickly too ! Frank is brilliant he really is 👏👏

[@jahwobble5214]

Love Lydon am also a massive PIL fan but am also a Frank and the Rattlesnakes fan but he works so well with this band

[@zoltan-zq3xe]

Same.

[@fernandolandi7726]

Great show!!!!

[@ronmercer7766]

Great show. Fun time had by all .

Damn! What a band! 😮 I’ve been listening to the Pistols since ‘78.

[@LuisRomero-uq1zw]

Rock on Legends

[@garyhillman4993]

What a f kn great LP eh. I got it day it came out. Magic hope they do some new songs make an LP

[@stevekaotixx]

The great thing is, he's probably just as famous as the rest of them but is so humble and respectful 👌

[@alldatsswingbybigdaddy7126]

Thanks for sharing, man! Goosebumps🤩

[@SimonSanders1]

You're very welcome! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@colinrainsforth1342]

Love that Frank isn’t trying to be Johnny. Makes this a rapturous celebration of The Sex Pistols music rather than a cheap tribute.

[@odd_job_007]

I had no fucking idea this was happening until saw Steve Jones on a podcast - NEED TO SEE THIS LIVE! Frank Carter kills it.

[@PercyFirzelle]

Well well well. This actually good. Credit where credit is due.

[@robbarro4953]

The moment I heard Frank was doing this I figured it would work well. Perfect guy with the perfect attitude to shoot his shot with some legends.

[@ggates5371]

This puts a smile on my grumpy face.

[@SRPiper]

I think Frank is great! Absolute lunatic, great presence and a good voice, he’s made it fun for them again 👍

[@brianmcghee9313]

Mega! need to go see this

[@dielel9268]

Give us new material Pistols!!! I mean it's been a while...

[@hotfroganimations]

I think that time has well past

[@BadLuckLuke]

Glenn & Frank are great songwriters, Jonesy a Champions League guitar riffs maker & Cookie always solid, so... why not?!?!

[@hotfroganimations]

@@BadLuckLuke I’d be all for it, I just can’t see it

[@OpelFruits676]

Nice to see Silly Thing getting an airing

[@mosayebmohammadi5198]

what a showmanship, talent and voice Frank has, absolutely brilliant.

[@dallaire3345]

I enjoy this line-up. As long as they don't make a new record.

[@metalski64]

Effing amazing. Please come to Canada.

[@teamblitz1990]

It's almost unthinkable but how good are the pistols without lydon? More united as a group without the ego of Mr Rotten

[@westernstateswaterreplenis4612]

I hope they tour with this. Excellent.

[@ericcruz1622]

Frank carter is the best choice for singing these songs.

[@nando19751]

it's awesome seeing the security guards getting into it.

[@Sotangy247]

Wow Frank sounded amazing on this

[@Carljohan1718]

What happend to Lyndon??????

[@nickbratis3326]

So people want their punk polished now ? It's alright but people commenting that Lydon is irrelevant need their head checked.

[@xxRafaelProductions]

Agreed, the "unpolished" sound is the appeal

[@Kooshmint]

Lydon is a hack

[@anthonymackey222]

They sound very good with bass.

[@geoffbardell8872]

Awesome. That is all

[@alanstewart6408]

This is the way music should sound. Rock n Roll with serious fucking attitude 🇬🇧 Special mention to Steve Jones. That’s how you play a guitar 💙

[@scottburton9741]

The lead singer of the Sex Pistols is not supposed to be afraid of saying a particular fucking word, but other than that Frank does a fine job as a Rotten cosplayer

[@nobbytart27]

Wouldnt get hung up about odd words, the world has moved on thank fcuk, we dont go out queer bashing on Friday nights anymore and we dont sing Belson was a gas for exactly the same reason

[@scottburton9741]

​@@nobbytart27they're the fucking Sex Pistols not the fucking water pistols

[@nobbytart27]

Just go and see them, you will soon get over your disapointment

[@scottburton9741]

@nobbytart27 as soon as they tour Australia, I'm gonna try and make as many shows as I can. It's still the fookin' Sex Pistols

[@youngandrew66]

All credit to the pistols, they've never come back with 2 backup guitarists and lots of shit , just Jones thrashing g away on his own

can not wait to see them in august!!!

[@colinheaton6934]

Imagine going to a gig as incredible as that but not enjoying it cause you've gotta stand still to film it 😅😅😂...there is no way I'm filming anything for anybody else

[@SimonSanders1]

Yeah, imagine that. Happily, I enjoyed it all the more BECAUSE I was filming it. Watching the gig, filming it, knowing I could watch it again. And that I could - all being well - share it with others. BTW...' incredible ', the adjective you used, means difficult/impossible to believe. And yet, it's because I filmed it and (to date) 17k people have found this video and seen the evidence - including you - you now can see it for yourself. It happened. I was there - and happy to share for those that couldn't be.

[@Stexy13]

im very fond of this Mr.Carter

[@santiagodelmonte2341]

Have to admit that the band is at its best. Though Johnny Rotten should buy a dog & go for a walk. God does he suck.

[@Kit-l6f]

I havent been this exited since 1977

[@hughmcnamara7697]

He does a great job pleasantly surprised

[@slimedog]

So great! So what if Rotten Johnny, who I love, didn't want to play. These are the musicians who created this music playing in their country where they most revered and rightly so. What a great presentation!

[@tonyvincent9146]

I’d see them - easy - John can’t deliver the music at this level!!

[@NaufalAlghaniShandi]

did they change the lyric into god save the king on 26:40 ?

[@jaysavy]

Well,at first I was like there’s no replacing Johnny Rotten ,but hey ,this kid is doing a pretty good job ,so I can’t say that he sucks 🤷🏻‍♂️well done!!

[@Compliment_Thief]

Johnny’s lookin great here and thank god he lost that PiL warble, sounds on top form too!

[@oliversaudny8616]

He did a great job,but to be honest one of the best videos i saw on YT was Sex Pistols 2008(?) at the Brixton Academy.The crowd was also aewsome. If you can't or will not play with JL, Frank is good.

[@MarfeeWarfee]

Theres no replacing John, but this guy gets damn close.

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

Jonesy a proper guitar hero for those of us that can't shred
