The Sex Pistols - Bodies - 1/14/1978 - Winterland (Official)

[@MrNEILSUPERNAUT]

The Pistols at their so called worst still beats the shit out of modern day shite at its best.

[@AndreiTãtaruknowledgeWindows]

Exactly! ❤️

todays punk and hardcore is the best its ever been, do some research

One of the Pistol’s greatest songs… brilliant & absolutely chilling at the same time!

[@matthewgaunt4358]

Underrated comment. Massive song.

[@TobcioccLeyton]

very clearly the end of 70's punk rock, John Lydon is amazing in this concert. He's had enough, he made that clear with the awesome Public Image first record.

[@discharge29]

one of the best songs ever written - fight me if you disagree

[@fightclub5066]

the most punk song ever!

No I don't disagree 😂🎉😂🎉😊😊

[@daveecrackcorn7479]

I thought Sid couldn’t play?! That was a solid bass line if I’ve ever heard one!

[@jimbohi3648]

I don't know why it is good that is sounds like that but I love Sid on base

[@uteroofficial3146]

@@jimbohi3648 what?

[@maverikk521]

he could play very basic lines

[@flamingcabbage8359]

This was one of the few songs he could play, and the only one he played in the studio

[@Zoink888]

I knew old friends in CBGB's that made sure Sid got addicted to heroin. The Ramones couldn't stand him. But either could most people of the time.

[@jhonnycagexrage7458]

3:01 Oh my god Sid was playing the correct notes!!!

[@juantruenos463]

Sid's problem with the bass was not to learn to play it, but to know how to tune it. He didn´t know how to tune it and that's why sometimes the notes sound out of tune.

[@familyoftwo7441]

He was a coat hanger for glen.aparently he was allways the first to rehearsals and practised alone,thats where my way came from.

[@RobinEdgar]

@Matt Turner LOL!

[@RobinEdgar]

@@juantruenos463 That would certainly explain why sometimes the notes sound out of tune. ;-)

[@tomgat6314]

Also a cool guy

Stebe Jones distorted palm muted chords are legendary!

sid looks so happy to actually be playing bass aw🥺💍

he killed his wife and overdosed

[@mickgeraghty3121]

Johnny is pure class, big fan of public image limited too

[@100cruzin]

Steve Jones = Badass

[@yutehube4468]

My favourite song of theirs.

[@suzankathleen3953]

I've only recently realized this was a real song, being about abortion & all. I'm going to play it on an acoustic guitar and sing it as well as Johnny does here.

[@zadorazciencekidsfun7605]

Most brutal song ever written. Deserves literature award.

[@mountzod]

Favorite Pistols song by far 🤘🏻😜🤘🏻

[@jorgestraight4922]

Paul Cook though on drums. He kept that shit together.

[@angusb2439]

Solid bass from Sid in here

[@klausrain111]

The unheralded genius of Paul Cook on display here.

best song ever...

No

[@13badbert]

song changed my life..

[@martinperotti625]

the sex pistols are awesome the songs are brilliant jones is a great guitar player he is so accurate in power chords-fast short solos-short arrangements-power chords again probably the best band with only one guitar in his line up.but the best that jones have is a good chord progression the EMI part that have the lirycs "too many people..."have a change that i found completely amazing.i also love s jones tone

[@Maverick4023]

Great to see Sid actually give a good musical performance here. I honestly think he could have been a capable bassist it's just that he didn't care enough about it and was smacked out of his mind a lot of the time.

[@kubaa.6515]

Don't know what I should think about this, but I think this is amazing.

[@ursulaschlapbach311]

Sure it is 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@sphere82]

[@danielscissorhands]

Johnny makes me laugh. :) And Sid is actually playing bass.

[@longshotkdb]

only until, someone turns his amp down again.. LOL

I always thought Rotten gave some of his best performances on this tour.

[@duncansmoviesandanimation6555]

They were fairly tight on the tour.

[@AlcaeusTnr]

Dunno if anyone agrees with me but... Every time this song ends I always somehow want or expect it to go on with the part at 2:00

[@greenwizard2112]

I tried this on guitar last night for the first time. Thought it sounded bad, but after seeing this, I think I nailed it 😁

No product in anyone's hair! Great Show! RIP SID!

It was a good gig I got it on live and loud bootleg which has extra cheers and sounds different big upgrade on the sound 1989 I bought it it was the first bootleg semi legal as it was sold in the record shops

[@williefinn4932]

i thought sid couldn`t play bass...he sounded ok at the end of bodies when you could hear him. this track was the typical sex pistols offering...hated by the establishment and loved by the fans...sid looked the part...every parents nightmare.

[@Nick-ne4ln]

Nah he sounded pretty terrible, mushing the notes and his timing wasn’t consistent.

Anecdotes tend to get more and more exaggerated as the years pass. As in, he was a below average musician - he wasnt terrible at all.

The quintessential punk rock record .

[@davef4728]

This was the precursor to all the really great metal bands that came out after the sex pistols, motorhead, maiden, metallica, anthrax, etc., they burned bright, but to quickly

[@pumasgoya]

Metal's for dumbasses!

Maiden and Motorhead were before this but yeah

I thought it was from the sweden tours or spots at the time then realised a few years later it was winterland it did nothave no fun on.but on the back cover there were pictures from Lee Wood book day by day which is a great book .and a great write up from a posh newspaper

[@tedcantu1]

Johnny had the flu during this whole show.... I still don't know how he pulled it off.

[@danielscissorhands]

Once you make it through meningitis, it's probably a breeze getting through a flu

[@tedcantu1]

***** really.. wow, never knew that.. thanks. I can't do anything when I have the flu... its amazing they got thru this performance.

[@edwardhernandez684]

They probably got really drunk

I was here and gave to sid Chinese rock he wanted and absolutely needed

[@thebirdman4324353]

You know things are bad if Sid is having to carry a portion of the song on bass

[@Freddy-Da-Freeloadah]

They always said that Sid could not play bass. THERE'S SID VICIOUS RIGHT? And he appears to play the bass guitar just fine! You can talk about musicianship, or the lack of it all you want. It's the song that is great. And Johnny Lydon is not even pro-life. It's just real life. IMHO

[@scatrrr]

easy listening

[@kocurek77]

Why they didn't record any new song?

[@ezechielpequay5894]

Because they only have fleeting meetings. never long-term reformations

[@chelseasmile1991]

[@michaelotterbeck9290]

The Sex Pistols, What a great band what they lack in musical talent they more than make up with their angst distain and anger. Nevermind The Bollocks Here’s The Sex Pistols is one of the most important records in rock history. Rotten sang with such raw emotion, Jones riff genius, Sid a fabulous disaster could have been great, Cookie terribly underrated. What they did in 2 short years will be remembered for ever and No,John I don’t feel I was cheated what you gave us is priceless.

[@duncansmoviesandanimation6555]

Sid's playing isn't that bad on here. It's just a little sloppy. He's was a decent player. I'm starting to play bass and this is kinda what it sounds like.

[@Warum_Nicht]

Before rap and R&B music, punk rock was the true degenerate music.

[@BigBangTheory6]

What would they have been without Jonsey?

no sid Can play

[@lastpirateslife]

the joke is that he couldn't, the truth is that he could. what other lies have we bought

[@mrfry3]

he would do ok at the beginning but someone would unplug his amp if he fuck up too many times. Read John Lydons books and other members books, even Lemmy from Morerhead tried to teach him but said he was unteachable.

[@notch156]

Oh.... He COULD play bass 🤯

[@FromTheRoomOfLittleEase]

Please don't read this, it's too long to possibly be read. "Can't play" in the seventies didn't mean you couldn't *really* play a note. People who take the "never played at all" shit too literally have clearly never spent any time around 70's musicians or fans of progressive rock etc from back then. "Can't play" in 70's terms would cover pretty much all punk music and most heavy metal. My dad and Uncle used to say bar chords were for figuring out the song, not for actually playing. You use substitution chords and triads etc and blend techniques like arpeggios and licks in as much as possible and you only strum chords on an acoustic guitar. If you don't understand this you don't understand what punk rock even is. It's basically exactly everything the average long hair avoided like the plague technique wise. As far as bass goes, the Dee Dee Ramone style following along with the guitar changes and playing with a pick staccato "plunking" in punk, new wave, later metal, and "college rock" was also exactly what to avoid and considered absolute trash bass playing. A real bass line would be more like a traditional bass line and in those terms even a basic version of that (like in Tejano and polka) was called "chicken scratch bass" and was considered a joke that is sometimes what is needed but completely without merit. "Lead" bass players in bands like the Who were "heavy metalers" who were basically almost punk but ultimately respected for their writing and overall skill (as "thats just rock and roll, haha," not serious "music") They were seen as cutting it close. People were very critical, even in punk because the standard was quite high. Music was more vocal accompaniment with lifting floating harmonies than beating strumming pounding rhythm in the minds of people from that time period. You have to get that to understand why punk was hard to grasp for some and exciting and new to others. You also have to get that to understand what it contributed to in later music. 60s bubblegum, garage rock, Heavy Metal, Punk, and Disco all lead away from the floating melodies and harmonies and toward foot stomping beat and full on heavy bass that comes through and delivers. It took awhile but it definitely took over and has never gone away. Sid's bass playing was bad but he definitely played, even though there were times that get over stated were he hardly played or played so bad they turned his amp off. I mean, why do you think they turned his amp off? Oh, he was playing alright, or that wouldn't have ever been necessary. Elvis knew how to play that acoustic guitar around his neck but he didn't do it much, so what? Honestly I think Sid was a way better singer than Johnny Lydon and should have taken over when Lydon left, maybe they could have brought back Glen Matlock on bass? At least for one tour in '79 maybe? Check out Sid Vicious "C'mon everybody" and "Something Else" (I recommend the "video" film versions here on KZbin) for an example of what might have been if you aren't already familiar. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sKHEh5mVm7iLpbM kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4TCm62vi5V9qtU
