"Call all hippies 'boring old farts!'"

Everyone slam-dancer in that audience is now in their mid-to-late 50s, i.e. well into boring-old-fart-hood. Wonder what they think of their kids' music?

As are all the (surviving) members of the band. And I'm closing in on that age fast :(.

Ramones were much better

somehow they are/were both overrated and underrated at the same time.

So whose cover version is worse: Megadeth's, or Motley Crue's?

I find the trick is to put them in the context of a "one-hit-wonder" band - they're not bad, they're not good. They were timely. But they are also a myth, a construct. And as good as they were pre-Johnny, PiL represents the true core of talent. (Album)

Yeah.
Or another way:

Atonal, incoherent, screaming instead of singing, painfully loud, barely able to play their instruments, angry at the world and both smug and insecure at the same time.

Just what ever disaffected 18 year old boy wants in a band.

Whether you like them or not let's all be honest and admit they
suck as musicians.

And yeah, I have 'Never Mind The Bollocks'.

Dead wrong. Steve Jones was able to write catchy tunes, which is a talent not many guitarists have. Not even Steve Vai or Ingwy malmsteen.

Depends how you define "musician"... Ill take a Dee Dee Ramone over 1000 Joe Satriani's, thank you very much

DrBenway: Let's be really, really honest and admit that we don't know what the fark we're talking about.

Their manager was a dick, intentionally booking clubs in the US to provoke attacks and trying to make chaos just to get them in the paper was a huge dick move.

If anyone would have cared they may have gotten killed but since virtually no one showed up, it killed the band.

I love Never Mind the Bollocks, but I cant listen to these guys live for more than 30 seconds.

/whoever played on the album was great

They did, well Steve played the Bass and the guitar parts on the album because Sid couldn't and Glen was gone although he did session musician ship on Anarchy.

Most of their live work suffers because they never played good venues with decent sound systems and the recordings are bootlegs of bad sound systems. Their best non-Bollocks album is the No Future UK disc which isn't live but reflects the sound the band actually had in the UK when they rose to fame. Bollocks is a much faster tempo album.

Sid was the only one who couldn't play, and he's not in the band on this clip. By '78, the drummer and the guitar player were doing occasional session work. For instance, the two of them played on half the tracks (with Thin Lizzy's Phil Lynott on bass) on the excellent Johnny Thunders album So Alone.

I recently read an old issue of Mojo with a Steve Jones Q&A, and apparently he was good enough to be asked for a session with... Bob Dylan

Yeah they certainly are not good musicians but for some reason I still kinda enjoy them. Not a band I listen to every day or even week but I can't help but nod along when they do come on.

Jonesy's Jukebox was one of the greatest radio shows of all time.

/Happy Birthday you old punk.

the vandals,pennywise, etc etc. fark these asses
