[@Boilingfrogg]

Thanks for watching. Got to meet him at this show. Dream come true for me also.

[@chadbogner4621]

As others have said i could listen to John speak for hours. He's lived through some very low points, and some very high points and every time he speaks its with sincerity and full of emotion.

[@erikmolnar6585]

Everyone I met who new Sid including their tour manager really loved him. Or at the very least said they liked him. Soo said they saw Texas Chainsaw Massacre together ❤️

I wasn't even born when this band was around but I'm obsessed. I'd give anything to meet them

@@kathrinfischer3684 Thank you Kathrin, Bless you for that! Funny thing is Leipzig is the only place I have been to in Germany! Here’s what I remember: Cobbled roads, meat with meat-sauce on a plate of meat for breakfast, with a meat dessert, and a whole room of German engineers shouting at me in the first ever Burger King because they had just paid me to fly first-class from Birmingham to repair something that they had simply not plugged in!!! 🙈😂 “You made us look stupid!” The boss shouted at me!!!?? 🤣 That was in 95 I think?

@Boilingfrogg brilliant content I remember wen I was 10 my sister asked me what I wanted for my birthday present??? My reply was the sex pistols never mind the bollocks LP !! she took me for it I've still got it along with my other pistols records

[@Boilingfrogg]

@@ianwoodham3676 Nice one! Bet it'll be worth a Bob or two? Not that you'd want to sell it of course .so you've been a pistols fan since the very beginning. I was a late starter. I got into the pistols around 1979. You'll be the Same age as me then. I was born March 67

@@leonboden7974 LOl I got into punk at around 1979. Always been a pistols fan. Also was into crass the Exploited ANWL And the rest. Yeah I didn't mind the specials. I've never know anyone who don't like em?

[@leonboden7974]

@Boilingfrogg watch I think rock goes to colledge specials in concert . I used to come home from school and at 6pm bbc2 that was on . Terry hall became my idol there and then he didn't take any crap . It'll be on you tube 1979 or 1980 maybe . Good on you for your favorite groups 👏 in early 80s at discos all the tribes used to wait around the dance floor until it was their tribes time to join in it was awesome like ska mod punk new wave Adam and the ants rock etc etc it was fab and truly I don't think that has ever happened since those days

[@Boilingfrogg]

@@leonboden7974 Yes I remember it well. Different tribes waiting for their turn on the dance floor. At our local youth centre it was always the same two records they'd play every Friday. Dead Kennedys "Holiday In Cambodia" and sex pistols "Holidays in the sun" we'd be falling all over the place dancing. After drinking a few bottles of strongbow cider in the streets. Lol

Legend, sir John

[@Mr75044]

I was a hard core punk 77. Birmingham UK. Every body was skint No future 3 million on the dole.. Class system was strong. Working class wasn't supposed to become Any thing other than factory workers. The punk movement said fuck that Do what you want. I did.. Forget American punk Not the same. Any way my point is. The look was all down to John. The attitude was down to John Question every thing. The wake up.call to the system Inc the royals . Was down to John's lyrics. He is the British punk Movement. To have the balls to Write about UDA IRA ect in the 70s Amongst other subjects was tough beyond belief.... The band was the Tank & John was the war head. He changed my life for the better. Ive done loads of stuff in my life that teachers & parents Attitudes would of stopped me.. If I had listened to them & not the Pistols. Thanks for reading And thanks John Thanks Sex Pistols. RESPECT.

[@Boilingfrogg]

@@Mr75044 Thanks for that. I agree to an extent . UK punk and NY Where world's Appart. But I doubt Johnny would view himself as part of a "punk movement" laterANAKO Bands like crass dirt, sub humans etc.were considered as a " movement" But I doubt they would consider themselves as part of a movement either? as in the lyrics of crass. "Movements are systems and Systems kill" they're just giving their options. Did you get to see the original pistols back in their day? Thanks for your reply my friend.

[@Mr75044]
