No, not another Brexit thread, but an anniversary one...
40 years ago today - the iconic single was released by the Sex Pistols. This video captures the song perfectly:

Until sombebody with a reputation that can be trusted said it was 5 millions worth then who's to say he's not being full on punk and set fire to a few nappies and as such fooloing idiots into believing any old shit soundbited out as fact. I've yet to meet such an individual. Fucking idiot.

Bill Drummond and Jimmy Cauty did it for real on the money they actually earned. Not on a load of Tee-sHIRTS given to them by mum and dad.

A long time ago but still made me smile.
what have we got these days ?, loads of earnest young men singing soppy ballads about their feelings, plus a whole glut of whining divas off the cowell conveyor belt.
It was more fun being 16 then I reckon.

It was more fun being 16 then I reckon. Plenty of those existed back in them days. Still plenty of experimental moody stuff around now, it just takes a bit of effort to find it. Something a lot of old punks can't be bothered to do it seems, rather just bemoan how it was and as thus, turning into everything they once despised...and so on.

Nice try, but the difference is the pistols hit number 1, in jubilee week...they made headlines and made people sit up and listen. It was a genuine movement which shocked the mainstream and was exciting to be part of. Nowt like that now is there ?

Partial to a pogo mese'n at the time. Ship Hotel disco Barry, South Wales - Pistols, Lurkers, Damned, Adverts.
Later - Oh Bondage up Yours! at El Syds with the needle jumping all over the disc and the floor about to fall through. Great times!

Love this version. Look at some of the old gits in the audience. Looks like a Oatcake Meeting in the Gardeners,

The Pistols and The Clash weren't punk to me, but the last great Rock n Roll bands from this country.

It made every teenager believe they could also be in a band and lots of us formed bands. I did and played for 2 years. We weren't very good but the youth clubs loved us and it was bloody great fun.

Tell us more mate, sounds an interesting tale 4 of us just left school, formed a punk band calling ourselves H Bomb and The Megatonnes, we played Pistols and clash songs then decided to play our own stuff because the guitarist could play and write songs. After a year we changed our name to Deceptive Vision and played youth clubs and in village halls. It was fun because the girls thought we were brilliant, so that worked and we got paid by cans of beer. Problem was after 18 months we backed some band (we only played 4 songs) and a recording company from Lincoln were watching the other band, but said they wanted to sign us up as well. There was the end of us. The lead singer and I wanted to be signed up but the drummer and guitarist said no we are punks we will never sell out. So that was the end of that. I formed another band (I played bass) but sadly the drummer hung himself. That was the end for me. Walked away and joined the Army isn't that what anarchists do eventually, grow up realising we cannot change society we just become society sadly

Don't regret it, savour what you did.
