Sex Pistols - Interview 1996

Steve is absolutely munted during these interviews ... hilarious ...

I was just thinking exactly the same thing. Jonesy has always been the coolest Pistol by far.

Steve has been clean and sober since 1990.

The Sex Pistols deserves to get paid.... They are the best there ever was.... They are also the best therapy...

[@johnhareiel5118]

Agreed. The Pistols have been on my daily playlist dealing with b*llshit. I been a fan since '91......but with adult life, my too therapy is getting in my ride and blast my Pistols playlist (along with Rancid). I get in my phase where that's all I jam on for months. Such an escape from adult life and always makes me feel like 16 with no concern in the world.

Really great stuff. Truth Johnny is sometimes rotten. But honest 👍👍👍👍🇮🇪

[@GoldGauntletComix]

Music is in desperate need of a Sex Pistols now!!

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

The music industry is a million times worse than it was when the pistols came along, it’s never going to be put right again either because individuality is not allowed by the big music companies.

[@mattpadden5631]

A great bunch of life-affirming interview clips, weird to think this is nearly a quarter of a century ago now.

Went to the filthy lucre concert in Adelaide in 96. Best concert ever!!!!!!!

[@jamesgretsch4894]

Why do people have issue with them wanting to be paid? I feel they deserve to be wealthy.

[@Pepenthez]

No one said they had a problem with it… they sold out tickets instantly even the other week for their next dates

[@V1HAMMER]

The comment about Sid from Johnny was a bit cold . Yes Sid didn't provide anything musically but Johnny himself says that he never picked members for his other band Public Image based on musical talent and that he doesn't consider himself a musician. So if he feels that way Sid provided as much as anyone else

[@johnhareiel5118]

Not really. Even with no musical knowledge, they at least played their own instruments, wrote the songs, as well as performed them. Sid did neither. Especially being unplugged at mostly every show. Sid doesn't equate to what The Pistols or later on PIL put out. Sid was a useless junkie.

[@mjh5437]

Sid Vicious is more famous than the rest of them put together!!

[@Eleventhearlofmars]

@@mjh5437 no he isn’t. He was named after johns hamster that’s his legacy. 🤣

[@kelsian_smith03]

@@mjh5437 only because of his looks he did alright with some of his solo songs like My Way, C’mon Everybody and Something Else but he was pretty shit on the base. He was just glorified and basically overall was self destructive as he never had a chance in life with the way his life ended.

[@roman_wallcrawler8226]

@@johnhareiel5118 He wrote Belsen was a gas which is arguably the hardest hitting song from the pistols and whether intentional or not he developed the band’s signature song by playing the songs faster than glen and simply playing the root notes of Steve’s guitar instead of whatever fancy shit glen was doing.

they never got paid back in the day. only right they get some money for all they did for punk and music in general.

[@lukeallan8876]

Sad they didn't make money. 4 what they sing. They changed the English culture. That's not easy to create punk that has stood the test of time

I love how they did it for themselves. Well deserved.

The Pistols should make a final album with new material while they still have all the band members, I'm sure there's new things to shout about to kick the stone away from underneath the Establishment's feet? (_A_)

[@wyverntheterrible]

Except lydon fucking hates the others, especially since they stitched him up with the TV series (so he sees it at least)

Absolutely not.

The working class have always been shat on and the Pistols are our spokes people, so fuckin pay them what there owd

[@kelsian_smith03]

John, Steve, Paul and Glen should be getting money whenever their music is used in the media altogether like movies, shows, adverts and videos

[@johnfrench9596]

I don't think there's anything wrong with them milking it for the money , it's understandable really , I'd have liked it more if Rotten hadn't re-invented himself as some bullshit showbiz entity who doesn't even sing the songs properly , why has he changed how he delivers the vocals , he even changed the actual notes that he sings and adopted some kind of A tonal 'PIL style' vocal technique , WTF save all that shit for PIL , this is the Pistols .. and he's ruining it ..
