1 00: 00: 31,865 -> 00: 00: 35,077 Well, now, when we come towards the end of tonight on BBC 1,
Michael Fish pay attention to the weather.
Again, lots of clouds.
A little rain from time to all day,
but then the rain will become more persistent
and finally, I think that rain
may change to be quite heavy.
What do you see in the documentary about any band,
before or after, is how great and beautiful everything is.
That's not the truth. It's hell, it's hard.
That's terrible. It's fun for a small level but if you know what you do,
You will tolerate all of that
because of work, in the end, is the most important.
We managed to offend
everyone we are fed up with.
Labor Party, which has promised so much after the war
has done so little for the working class
that the working class is confused about even themselves and don't even understand what it means to the working class.
It's cold and miserable.
Nobody has anything. You can't get a license.
Everyone is in alms.
If you don't be born in money,
then you might as well have kissed goodbye your damn life,
You will mean nothing.
Germ, seed of the Sex Pistols
generated from it.
Now is the season our cold dissatisfaction make a glorious summer - by this York sun.
England is in condition of social upheaval.
That is a very, very different time.
Total social chaos.
There are riots everywhere.
You must join with the picket line.
There are strikes in every type convenience you can think of.
Strength Pound.
The TV channel will turn on and die randomly.
People are fed up with the old way.
The old way is obviously not working.
There's a little sticking out there.
You can see it in the reflection.
Ultra Bright makes you pay attention.
You were told at school, you were told at the job center,
You are told by everyone that you have no chance.
And you only have to receive your lot, and get it straight.
That's where you will get social disputes.
Hate and war... and racial hatred.
When you feel helpless...
You will take power whatever you can...
to maintain a kind of self-esteem.
Want something about how many people have been robbed?
Don't put your hand on me... I'll break your fucking jaw!
The man is sad because he was misinformed,
and he was misled, and he was used.
Yes - I'm a racist. And why?
Who made me a racist?
This government - conservatives,
and every board member is stingy and smelly
who defended the negro.
And I will stand by my words,
because I don't like people this, will never do it!
Words are my weapon.
Violence is something that is not well mastered.
I don't think you can explain how things happen,
other than sometimes they should be,
and the Sex Pistols should have happened, and done.
We go to the garden.
Take off your ass!
I was born at home Pain Queen Charlotte
on September 3, 1955...
And I live together my mother and stepfather
what I thought was my father , in the basement
at Shepherd's Bush.
And I slept on the edge of the bed they were on a camp bed.
My biological father, he redeemed when I was two years old.
The name is Don Jarvis. He is an amateur boxer.
I certainly don't feel like I want to be a child.
Well, I was born and raised around West London,
Shepherd's Bush and Hammersmith area.
That's usually the working class.
I met Steve because we stayed in the corner of each other.
I went to school in near Paul and Steve,
next to Wormwood Scrubs Prison.
My father is a factory worker,
and the mother works in the powder puff factory.
If you look back at me as a school child,
You will see a person who is very shy, quiet,
Types of small church mice in North London.
Parents of Irish immigrants.
My mother taught me to read and write
after meningitis, a serious illness that I experienced at the age of seven,
when I was in a coma for a year.
When I was discharged from the hospital, I was completely erased by the brain...
Old memories have been erased... Don't remember at all.
Just back off in everything.
It feels like I have to start from the beginning again.
# Pictures of Lily... #
How do you get it from man to egg?
I really came back a year because I was so stupid.
And I will never pay attention in class,
I just always daydream.
Steve is quite wild at age 1 0, 1 1 year.
I think he always gets the problem.
You must ensure that you have the right thing.
In addition - I have four fingers and a thumb.
I question everything, I always do it.
If we do Shakespeare,
a teacher will give me a hard time,
and he doesn't want to tell me what I want to know.
I will ask clear questions,
and you shouldn't do that.
You should accept,
"This is Shakespeare. It's amazing, you don't."
That's not good enough for me.
I will steal. I mean, only that which I know how to do.
I often watch my parents steal at Tescos when I was six years old.
And I always got a problem.
And that's what is - music.
# Flavors of the mountain streamline... #
I really like music - Roxy Music and Bowie.
I think that musicians fell from the sky at that time.
I don't think anyone can be a musician.
# School is out forever! #
I am very quiet in school up to around 14 or 1 5,
when I decided I would feel enough.
I know we are being fobbed...
and basically given version of third-level reality that is bad.
So you won't be able to question your future,
because you don't have it.
My mother loves Alice Cooper just like me.
He has very varied tastes for everyone from Irish folk music to T. Rex...
For some early Bowies.
Many heavy metals were present at that time,
everything. A very Catholic feeling.
# I want all you skinheads to get up on your feet #
# Put your braces together and your boots on your feet #
There are lots of skin kids black at Shepherd's Bush,
and we used to go to their party
and listening to ska music.
It's kind of developed from there really,
I think, our interest in music.
I think it's Wally... the famous Wally Nightingale,
who said, "OK, let's start a band."
At that time, Wally said that Steve would be a singer,
and I will play drums.
Wally actually plays guitar, and is up to each of us
to go and study our instruments.
We are used to practicing and practicing,
and just like, fantasize, really.
If I want to use something
which is T. Q. Use the previous week,
I'll go to King's Road and steal it.
I am always used to ending in "Let It Rock" owned by Malcolm McLaren and Vivienne Westwood.
All our other stores go to King's Road,
You will run in and you will get 1 0 poofs to you,
asking what you want, "Can I help you?"
That's why we always end up in Vivienne's,
because it's like a hangout.
I like the clothes, they are different.
That's not all flares and kipper ties.
That is Teddy Boy's clothes. It is far more rebellious,
and obviously I'm interested in that.
The Teddy Boy, for me,
all about ideas being peacocks,
and stand in the crowd, but at the same time
feel that you are the part of the person who was captured,
the - at the end of the period of my art school,
I think I can get profit.
I am friends with Malcolm
because he has a lot of contacts in music.
He seems to know everyone.
He found the way with his words,
perfect for a manager.
I walk up and down on King's Road
with anger and complete hatred.
People are very unreasonable,
and still attached to the flare and platform shoes and long hair neatly permed,
and pretending the world doesn't really happen.
That is an escape that I hate.
There is also a garbage strike
lasts for years and years,
and there is garbage that is stacked as high as 1 foot.
They seem to miss that.
Wear bags rubbish, for God's sake -
and then you deal with it.
And that's what I will do...
I will wrap myself basically in the trash.
... and it's very gloomy and outdated...
that the dog barks at me when I stop by them.
I have news for you. The dog barks at me.
In a strange way, that all persona, say, "Richard Ill"
help when I joined with the Sex Pistols.
Defective, funny, weird -
and "Hunchback from Notre Dame" is there,
and strange characters
which is somehow or other, through all their deformities
achieved something.
#... Just for a short while #
# She'll scratch in the sand #
# Won't let go of the hand... #
Steve is an kleptomaniak, really.
I'm sure he will be diagnosed like that, you know,
because he can't save his hand in his pocket...
which is quite useful, really.
We always know the way behind Hammersmith Odeon backs,
become our local area.
# The Jean Genie... #
David Bowie is playing Ziggy's farewell,
and while the roadies are sleeping in the front row,
he will walk around the stage cut all the microphones.
We have guitars, amplifiers,
big drum kit, PA system, everything,
but, you know, we can't play it correctly.
To prevent myself from being beaten
by what Uxbridge Teddy Boys
enter, steal at the store,
I decided to down another route -
wear rubber fetishes and skin.
I feel that...
it will look fun and interesting on King's Road
therefore it will have similar behavior
owned by Teddy Boy, except it's new.
Malcolm's shop attracted me
because it uses rubber.
It's interesting that people can be a problem
that the only way they can have sex is with a face mask
and rubber shirts.
With heavy bollock.
How do you become like that? Being like that for you because you can't face reality.
Steve just returned one day, and said,
"I found a bass player." I said, "Who is that?"
He said, "This person, Glen, who works in Malcolm's shop."
Look, I started practicing with them.
They have so much equipment that Steve has "assembled," should we say?
We always disturb Malcolm to manage us,
and he said he would be interested if we got rid of Wally.
He came once, he said, "You shouldn't sing,
you have to play guitar. You have to get a singer."
We realize that wally must go.
Unfortunately, poor [Wally]...
I know him, Horatio.
This time there is a group of men
that comes from north side of London,
who usually comes to the store
maybe because of the reason that is the same as what we did,
You know, on Saturdays, anything...
there is their group, it seems that is all called "John."
Steve and Paul never believed we are all called John...
They can never accept that.
Sid's real name is John.
They only thought of us
Like the "Clockwork Orange" gang, You know - "The Johns."
I don't know why they chose me...
besides they think I looks different from sir.
We arranged to meet John one night...
in a pub just down the road.
We have a few glasses, and then we go back to the shop.
We gave the singer an audition
in my shop, later, after the pub is closed,
for him to imitate,
and for him to try singing together
with the Alice Cooper track on the jukebox
called "Eighteen", which I admire.
And he sang it like "The Hunchback of Notre Dame."
# I am eighteen #
# And I don't know what I want #
I always see myself
as a bad ugly fucker.
I'm obviously not not a prima donna.
John just started...
goes into spasm in front of the jukebox,
and singing, and do the action,
what then becomes what everyone knows and likes, you know.
And I knew right away that he was a singer.
He... will be the person, really.
I personally won't get it in the band,
even though he looks like a star.
I think he is a sissy to take urine, and he is not serious...
But then, after talks to him for a while,
I realize that it is own insecurity
to take urine because he is not really a singer.
John comes from a world that is different from me and Cookies.
He is more intellectual, John.
I know what Steve is.
I know he has the potential to become a great person.
There is something in his original .
I can see that there is an tragedy in him, just like me.
Deep inside, they are injured people.
And then there's Glen...
nags about things good like the Beatles.
We are the first to call one another cunts blatantly -
face it - and find out.
And we are. We are all... All in our way.
You combine all of this, and that...
it makes a high drama, a little like the game Harold Pinter.
It should not work, but it is.
All of our first exercises are nightmares.
I can't hold a fucking note,
Paul can't really take care of time, I can't play guitar.
I really hate it. It is just noise,
but I'm just stuck there, because that's what I have.
#... no lip, child #
# And I mean what I say #
# Don't give me no lip, child #
# You'll be sorry one day #
Oh, shit, that's terrible. I hate songs like that.
From the start, we argued -
bitter, bitter, from the first day of practice,
pure, full in line.
It will be continuous,
"You know, you must learn to sing."
And it's like, "Why?"
"Who said? Who wrote the rules here?"
But that's okay, you need that character difference.
I don't think, if I can be a sculptor,
I need clay...
I suddenly thought, "You can use people!"
And that is the person I used, like an artist.
I was manipulated.
So, create something called "Sex Pistols"
is my painting, my statue,
"Artful Dodgers" my little one.
Huh - You didn't create me...
I am me.
There are differences.
Everyone on the planet knows Bliss is full of dirt.
He is sure of people now that he is full of filth,
with all the nonsense he said, it's getting worse and worse.
And the idea of the name "Sex Pistols"
is a sexy young killer. "Gun" which means gun -
and then the "gun" means a type of penis.
There has never been a relationship with the manager - for me,
besides he'll always try to steal my idea,
and claim them as their own.
I have to accept that he is a manager
because he was their manager before I joined the band.
I think they are the same damn star sign.
They are the same type personality.
They always butting their heads.
Must be John who drives the ship into the way we see.
Torn, pin, zipper in all gaff,
third level homeless things.
That's poverty, really. Lack of money.
Your pants fall,
You only use security pins.
And I always call it "rotten,"
because the teeth are like, horrible,
they look like dogs,
and - it's just jammed.
Steve always looks like a hairdresser on the highway.
He has perm,
and unfortunately, it has become permanent.
I don't have a hero.
They are all useless.
I mean, there's no band there, right?
None.
Nothing can be accessed.
Emerson, Lake, and Palmer.
All of the super bands were then -
Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Yes - they are dinosaurs,
They are terrible, because they are very boring.
Uriah Heep... Damn, you know... Gong!
I want the Sex Pistols to compete with Bay City Rollers!
Can you imagine Johnny Rotten singing "Shang-a-Lang"?
# Shang-a-lang #
# Shang-a-lang, shang-a-lang #
Ugh-hh!
Stradivarius - is a terrible painter...
and Rembrandt - make rotten violins.
I'm starting to be interested in art,
and finally go to St. Martin for a year.
I walked there and asked for to see the social secretary,
and this person said, "Yes, me."
And that's Sebastian Conran.
And he said, "Well, what's the name of your band?"
And I said, "The Sex Pistols," and Sebastian left -
"The Sex Pistols? Oh, we have to have it."
I remember I was scared,
and I have to take Mandrax to calm myself down.
Hello.
Hello, I'm upset again.
I think I took two Mandrax. We go there,
and that's all artistic-farty in this one room.
There is no stage,
and there is another band called "Bazooka Joe"
that Adam Ant is the bass player in,
and we all dropped the pint -
and it's time for to continue, and Mandrax kicks in,
and we started playing...
#... you to know that I ain't your baby #
# I want you to know I don't care #
I remember staring at John, and thinking,
"This is fantastic. I like this."
It's like one of those magical moments.
Everything in the universe universe is fucking clicked.
# What'cha gonna do about it... #
Glen definitely wants to be in "Top of the Pops."
# I want you to know I don't care... #
# I want you to know that I love you baby... #
For me, it's really tacky.
It says, "I want you know I don't care"
Come naturally.
If I take other people's songs, I twist them.
Finally - we really played in a band,
I'm not a singer, I feel comfortable playing guitar -
your mind, I'm screwed -
and the next thing I know, they have pulled the plug on us,
and everything is over. We like coming out of it,
and wandering around Piccadilly Circus.
I die of trouble before going on stage,
because I don't know what I will do.
And because of that, I have to pull it all
from deep inside.
Hello - # 76 trombone to hit parade #
Look, there's Arthur Askey there.
Ada Ken Dodd - # We are Father... #
# We come from Notty Ash #
There is even...
"There is nothing wrong with me."
- Do we know... - Oi...
Do we know any other damn songs that we can do?
What is not understood English about the Sex Pistols
is that we are a music hall.
Should we do "Roadrunner"?
I hate that. This is terrible. Stop it
Stop it, this is terrible!
There is always a sense of urination, and is fun for that.
Explain how it started. What is the first line?
There is a sense of comedy in English,
even in your darkest moments.
Right... can you start from the beginning?
I can't hear you, Paul.
You laugh.
Who wants to bunk up?
# With the radio on... #
"... Damaging, does not meet the requirements..."
# Roadrunner, roadrunner...
"Deform'd, unfinish'd..."
Deform'd, unfinished'd...
One week we will play at high Wycombe
opens for Screaming Lord Sutch,
and I remember seeing some faces, long haired men.
"When all other indications show..."
When all other indications show...
Then, a week later, we will play in "The Nashville,"
... that we are on a dirty night.
"... dirty night."
And I will see the same person with their hair cut short,
and wearing torn shirts.
# Goin 'thousand miles an hour #
Every performance you will see a few more , and a few more, and a few more,
people who have just been converted.
The Sex Pistols must have created a new environment.
It is truly wonderful to see the audience become individuals.
#... radio on... #
# Roadrunner, roadrunner... #
"There is nothing wrong with me."
Oh, God, I don't know that. Damn silly.
There are some original people who are really amazing out there.
"There's nothing wrong with me."
Sioux cat woman...
That woman needs a lot of skills, style and courage...
to look like a cat.
There are several years there
where it's amazing.
People who have no self-esteem suddenly begin to see themselves
as beautiful as not beautiful.
Women begin to respect themselves not a second class citizen.
Punk makes it clear.
I always talk with the audience
one-to-one way after the show.
"Where do you live? What is life like to you?"
Absolute basics.
# She put her bicycle #
# under a tree #
# I think that girl took a fancy to me... #
But it's fun, I guess, talk to them.
Actually, I don't care about talking about bands,
I just want to suck my penis, really.
That's always the first thing in my mind.
I'm not interested in talking about politics after the show,
I don't even know who Prime is the fucking Minister at that time.
# Let's have a ride on your bike #
I pretty much want to have a bunk-up,
Like a good teenager.
# I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth... #
# You didn't look me in the eye #
# Crocodile tears are what you cry #
"Substitute" that I like...
but I only like certain phrases in it.
So I will play it.
# You're so fat, I see right through... #
"Oh, no, you can't do it, that's classic,"
said Glen.
Fuck off!
I think when we started writing our own items...
is when it gets more interesting.
Because that's when it becomes the power of our own music.
Glen came with some great ideas for songs,
and John will only sit in the corner cross out the lyrics, in there and then,
while we play together for that.
We have something, we have enthusiasm.
But what we don't have, we have no way
put it into words...
that's what John has.
The first line I wrote, is "I am an antichrist,"
and I can't think of the fucking thing that blends with it,
and "anarchist" only is perfect.
The only thing I don't like about "Anarchy"
is a terrible rhyme -
"Antichrist - Anarchist," always makes me grimace.
Oh, some damn music that's worth it finally!
# Right... #
# Now #
# I am an antichrist #
# I am an anarchist #
# Don't know what I want, but I know how to get it #
# I wanna destroy passerby #
# 'Cause l... #
# Want to be... #
# Anarchy #
This band is not about making people happy,
it's an attack -
attacks, attacks, attacks.
# Anarchy for the UK #
# It's coming sometime maybe #
# I give a wrong time, stop a traffic line #
# Your future dream is a shopping scheme #
# 'Cause l... #
# I wanna be... #
# Anarchy #
Sid, he is a fan Pistols in total, really.
I love that band.
Together with several other children who know John,
I think I'm the biggest fan they've ever had.
# How many ways to get what you want #
# I use the best I use the rest... #
Rotten is like, amazing.
Just like it can't be trusted.
And Steve is also great.
Glen is a vagina, as usual.
# Want to be... #
# Anarchy #
What makes the Sex Pistols different is John Rotten,
because he's really anti-star.
He doesn't like to shake his buttocks or shake his hips,
he does dance robot, and only jokes,
and taking urine from everyone
in a really mean way.
# ls this the MPLA #
# Or is this the UDA #
# Or is this the IRA #
# I thought it was the UK... #
All Bromley contingents many front lines,
they all end up in the band,
then you get the punk movement.
# I am an antichrist #
# I am an anarchist #
To see us playing like, only three chords
gives the message that anyone can do this.
That's great - all other bands start -
I enjoy watching Clash, I enjoy Damned.
It happened so fast, and it was very interesting,
You will think, "Wow, really there is a movement from here."
One girl fell one night
using a polka dot translucent mac -
and nothing else.
I really saw a tourist staggered when he came to the club.
He was very impressed with his appearance.
Sid is amazing, because of him
prominent characters in the crowd,
because he wasn't in the band.
He created pogo alone.
He just hit some people's backs to get a better look.
In the end he just started to jump around.
Yes, I started because I hated the Bromley Contingent,
and I created the dance which will involve
can beat them in whole "fucking Club 001",
so I just like to be alone.
Skip like horizontal, and sideways,
like boing...
Boing, boing, boing.
You want to land on it, and destroy them to the floor.
Yes...
My name is Nick Kent.
I am a...
A famous journalist for "The New Musical Express."
Well, Sid, because he was known at that time,
that I met before, I won't really meet him -
clearly under influence
a kind of amphetamine
or stimulant propulsion extreme adrenaline.
Sid Vicious is looking for a fight.
Just watch out, buddy, okay?
Or else I will cut you off.
He hit my head several times with a chain,
who do not need stitches, fortunately.
I sort of walked in upstairs in full...
Blood pain and confusion.
I really admire their attitude,
I think that... is very brave.
Immediately before this attack occurred,
John Rotten is having a long discussion with Sid.
I imagine that John is - "Johnny" - because he is known,
is setting me up, because this is all true.
In fact, Sid got the name "Vicious" from the fight.
John Rotten baptized him "Vicious" from that fight.
He said, fell at the door.
Sid Vicious got the name after my pet hamster,
who bit it one day...
when he tried to be sweet for that.
And his name is Sid, and he really likes it.
"Your Sid is fierce."
The group did something very personal, I think, a secret show,
at "The Screen on the Green," lslington.
I went with some of our A & R people,
and Chris Wright, chairman.
Knocking on the door, someone opens the door, and says, "Fuck!"
We will not be persuaded,
so we knocked on the door again and said, "We were invited."
And the head appears again, and says, "Fuck Off!"
They are a very band.
# We're so pretty, oh, so pretty #
# We're vacant #
# We're so pretty, oh, so pretty #
# Vacant #
# Don't ask us to attend 'cause we're not all there #
# Don't pretend, 'cause I don't care #
And there are only a few fights, not many.
I already know musicians to defend themselves
if the object goes up to the stage,
But I have never seen a musician drop their instrument And sort of diving in a small memo
And extend it, and forget about the music.
And I found it a little more.
I returned two or three times after that,
just to make sure... You know, they're just as bad
because I think they are the first time.
#... and we don't care! #
Ever!
Why are all the languages famous?
"Infamous language"? You are joking.
I don't speak anything except *** damn English.
And if it's "Infamous," Then, huh-huh-huh, tough titters.
Basically, the Pistols' attitude towards the press
is one that really like "Fuck you," you know?
I mean, only really "Fuck you."
Amazing - I mean, that is the perfect antidote
to 99% other stupid rock groups
who likes, licks the butt of the press,
and, I mean, it works perfectly for them.
Most journalists are masochists.
They just threw pot, most of them.
Don't accept old orders. Get rid of it.
We've been there for five years or more,
just waiting for this to happen, and now it happens.
That must be, that is the only thing that can happen.
That is the only thing that is not from industry -
it comes from the children themselves. Something must come from children.
# Come on and join us #
# We're the young nation #
# Come on and join us #

This group is a new teenage cult leader which seems to be will be big
as a mod and rocker is in the 60s.
This cult is called "punk," music, "punk rock."
Basic rock music - is raw, outrageous and rude,
Like their fan magazine , "Sniffing Glue."
I think music we are very honest.
This is the most honest thing that has happened in the last 1 5 years.
Nobody beat him.
Finding a playground is becoming increasingly difficult,
Thanks to the reputation of the bastard increasingly as a troublemaker,
and the Sex Pistols themselves even have to rent a strip club so that their music is heard. No other place will take it.
# Anarchy #
From the road.
I find Pistol is very reliable,
I feel that everything is related to violence...
in mind, not in the body.
Malcolm starts a little seriously about it,
and he brought an lawyer with the name Fisher...
A terrible lawyer whose name I refused to speak -
There is...
basically an auction between Polydor and EML.
We came with a contract that gave the Pistols total creative control.
Malcolm decided to go with EML.
I entered the A & R department, I said,
"Who are these crazy people?"
They said, "This is the Sex Pistols, we just signed it.
They are amazing."
And my first real plug for them is, after all this,
is by calling the "Today" program.
They call back, say, "Yes...
We want to use the Sex Pistols," you know,
"Is that okay?" I said, "I'm sure it will be fine."
They put us in a green room, with a fridge,
and I remember when I fell
about four bottles damn "Blue Nun,"
and I just made love - has a good long time,
angry at this point, at when we went there.
And that's all I remember.
They are "punk rockers." new madness, they told me.
They are heroes -
not the Rolling Stones are good and clean.
They are as drunk as me. They are clean by comparison,
they are the group called "the Sex Pistols,"
I was told that the group...
has received £ 40,000 from the record company.
Doesn't that seem to be slightly challenged
to anti-materialistic views are they about life?
- No, more, more festive. - Is it true?
- Oh yeah. - Tell me more about that.
We spent it already.
- I don't know. Have you - Yes, everything is gone.
Nobody heard that, because he was drunk himself,
and he did not pay attention to when he asked,
"What did you do with the money?" and I said, "We spent it."
- Tell me more about that. - We spent it.
- I don't know. Have you - Yes, everything is gone.
- Really? - Lower the boozer.
Very? Good God!
Now, I want to know one thing:
Beethoven, Mozart, Bach and Brahms have all died...
- They are all our heroes. - Is it true? What do you say?
- They are extraordinary people. - Wre they?
- Yes, they really changed us. - But they die.
If they changed someone else?
That's just their bullshit.
Rotten, he slipped and said "bad luck" under his breath.
- What is that? - Nothing, harsh words.
- Next question. - No no...
What are the harsh words?
- Damn. - Is it true? Gosh.
- You scared me to death. - Alright, so you play the game...
He's like your father, isn't he, this grandfather?
Or your grandfather.
Are you worried, or just enjoying yourself?
- Enjoy yourself. - Do you?
That's what I think.
- I always want to meet you. - Is it true?
Siouxsie, he just felt ashamed of him,
And he said, "Oh, maybe we'll meet later?"
We will meet later, right?
You are dirty. You are a dirty old man.
Steve fully understands
that he was talking with a drunkard
like you will get drunk in the pub,
and he just beat him.
Come on, you have five seconds,
- Say something outrageous. - You dirty ***.
I only remember this damn pussy
just starting to provoke us, and we protect it.
- Continue - again. - You dirty ***.
- Smart kid. - What's messy.
That's for tonight. Other rockers, Eamonn,
and I said nothing again about him, will come back tomorrow.
I will meet you soon. I hope I don't see you again.
From me, though, good night.
McLaren is there. He is scared.
He defecates himself.
She's white, you know, go
"We better get out from here, fast!"
But the next day, was all the big ideas.
That's perfect stand-up comedy. That's Arthur Askey.
# Well, I don't mind the things that you say #
# I try and do these things for you #
# Why should I do it? I'm always referring to #
That's all, the four letter word does everything.
# Goin 'outta my head #
I like it...
I like it very much. It feels like finally, I have arrived.
Let the circus begin.
# The bog is no place to see your face... #
The committee has decided,
that in justice to the public Derby,
Sex Pistols won't appear here tonight,
but we quite agree that the other three groups
already ordered will continue.
For the past 1 2 months, punk rock has become
almost an war cry in British society.
For many people, it is a greater threat to our way of life from Russian Communism or hyper-inflation,
and that results in excitement that is more popular than one of them.
We look forward to this night, with this protest
to make Wales know, and let people in this city know,
that we protest and it is not our fault,
that this thing has reached Caerphilly.
When your local council doesn't prohibit punk rock concerts,
Do you really go there and try to stop it yourself?
No, we never stopped it at any time.
We go there with a very positive message.
We have done everything humanely
to ban this and stop it.
Sir, can I ask why Are you here tonight?
Because I... is recognized as a Christian.
If I think one of mine belongs to there, I will drag them out.
They are outside, cold. We are here, we are fine.
This one is about Harold Wilson -
It's called "Liar."
# You lie, lie, lie, lie lie... #
# Sleep in heavenly peace #
# Should have realized... #
In our "Anarchy" tour is really followed
everywhere in the whole country, from gig to show,
and we must appear to indicate willingness to play,
so maybe we will get the money,
although there are pounds for a cent that they won't let us play.
Mr. Stabler, you can't watch a punk concert at Newcastle?
The decision was made when we found it was only children who will oversee the show.
The average adult will see a strip show, or a blue film.
It is prohibited in this city, and is prohibited in that city.
And it's really not about us playing anymore,
it's about this controversy that we like,
throw up on stage, and spit.
And I remember going across Pennines,
followed by the press fleet,
and we stopped for coffee and sandwiches,
and we can hear what is said by these press people.
One press person said to another,
"Did you get anything?" and others say,
"I got two" fuckers "and" shit " from Johnny Rotten."
Can I now switch to Bernard Brook-Partridge in London...
Most of these groups will be far better with sudden death.
The worst, now, is the Sex Pistols.
They are the human antithesis...
And the whole world will be much better
by their total unconsciousness and speech.
# You're a wild #
# Lie, lie, lie, lie... #
Today Johnny Rotten returns to the words that he wrote on his songs,
is the day he died. I know that as a fact.
I think people feel that this...
this is a kind of thing that is decreasing,
and is a monster in front of our , and actually will,
causes image problems for the recording industry.
At that time, someone at EMI made a decision
that they no longer want to take action on the label.
This is about EML.
They are big labels with the main attitude,
and they want everything to be fake and easy to manipulate.
And you can't have it with people like us.
- Think of it as chaos! - That doesn't happen.
# An unlimited supply #
# And there is no reason why #
They told us that they couldn't
to continue promoting actions -
and we will go well.
# E-M-l #
"Let's call it chaos!"
# E-M-l #
"Let's call it chaos!"
# E-M-l #
"Let's call it chaos!"
Ouch.
#... With an unlimited supply #
# That was the only reason #
# We all have to say goodbye #
# Unlimited supply - E-M-l #
# There is no reason why - E-M-l #
# Unlimited supply #
# E-M-l #
# Hello, EMI #
# Good - bye! #
It starts with John and Glen falls, really.
For what, I don't really know,
only a clash of personalities, and so on.
When you talk like a bastard...
and looks like arsehole, you are an arsehole.
There is clearly a big problem between me and John.
I feel that once John got his face in the paper,
he will be a different person -
which I don't like.
When we went to the Netherlands, my last show with them was in Paradiso.
I feel that everyone is in my case.
He always complains that we are too outrageous,
and it's funny, but he always washes himself.
Every time we enter a hotel,
he will wash his feet the damn thing is in the sink.
Steve and I like that, I guess,
and John always feels outside.
He thinks of bringing Sid in. He will have someone there,
Like a colleague, you know?
Someone is closer to him.
I will hear that they have been training with Sid.
No one has the courtesy _ polite to tell me.
# I've seen you in the mirror when the story began #
# And I fell in love with you I love your mortal sin... #
It has become like a band cartoon strip,
as an opponent of the rock and roll band that actually plays
and do something real.
# I got no emotions for anybody else #
# You better understand I'm in love with myself #
Glen has reached the point where he decided that the direction of the band is completely foreign
for whatever he wants to link to him.
That's absolute bullshit.
I think one of Malcolm's games is, sort of dividing and conquering.
Malcolm tells John that I will say a lot of things
which I didn't say, and Bliss told me
John has said a lot things he didn't say.
I respect. I always do this.
He taught them to play.
I rather regret going...
because Sid can't play a damn tone.
#... see his hanging picture on your wall #
I feel guilty about Sid,
because I wish I could tell him more...
about what to expect.
Well... I gathered my own group,
"The Flowers of Romance,"
and Rotten asked me whether I want to join with
"These are all big secrets, man," you know...
"Go down to this pub at this and that and that,"
and I think they will do me because I didn't come to the wrong one Rotten party or something.
He is very sensitive to things like that.
And... I went to there and he said,
"Do you want to play bass for the Sex Pistols?"
# Turn the page and it's the scoop of the century #
# Don't wanna be seven I've had enough of this #
# This is brainwash and this is a clue #
# To the stars who fooled you #
Sid is my friend.
Very, very close friend.
He just - Laughing at everything.
Genius in that way, and his name is John.
# I got you in the camera, I got you in my camera #
# A second of your life ruined for life #
We do a lot of things crazy together, me and Sid.
We are also used to busk, for money...
I'm with a violin, Sid with a tambourine,
maybe a broken guitar, doing Alice Cooper songs.
"I Love the Dead" is our favorite.
That will give us the most money.
"Please keep quiet."
"Here - take the money, go somewhere else."
Why are you vomiting - to me?
The best time of the band is all when Sid first joins,
and he really determined to learn bass
and matches and becomes part of the band.
He must look great, Sid...
Yes, he must be a face. Real laugh.
He used to take out urine from Rotten.
All I did was cashed in the facts
that I'm handsome, and I have a good figure,
and women like me.
What do they want, angels in flares and anorak?
Because if they want it...
it's not me, baby.
Finding myself in this rather strange little shop,
at Johnny Rotten, Sid Vicious,
and various other Sex Pistols.
Hello, Mr. Nimmo.
And the last thing they heard, a donkey told him to be cornered
in the back alley at Fulham.
After EMI discards the Sex Pistols,
A & M Records took it,
and held a ceremony contract signing in front of Buckingham Palace.
Malcolm is honest in one thing...
That he always said he had no control over us.
And he didn't do it.
And the punch is great, in the limo,
before signing it wasn't really awesome.
It's also a good fight.
"No, you are the biggest vagina,"
"No, you are the worst,"
"No, you are a vagina," and so on, and so on.
There is only one vagina that I want to kiss,
and that's bliss. Then the door opens,
and then we have to sign.
At this point, the Sex Pistols,
even though it's fired, it doesn't really suffer.
Here they are, signed a new contract
who can make them a lot of money,
and they already have the song to be recorded for A & M
to honor the Queen's jubilee.
Father Sid is Grenadier guard.
Imagine that - Sid signed a contract that was very, very expensive,
while the old man guarded the fence.
That's a genius.
According to the story, after this happy signing ceremony,
everyone returns to the A & M office to celebrate.
The four Sex Pistols turned out to be too much,
and live according to their public image
overall obnoxiousness.
- How are you? - Stay away.
When we get to A & M records,
total frenzy breaks out there too.
I don't remember what happened,
but the secretary is scared,
and Sid's legs are bleeding.
I have black eyes, Bliss is running around,
Steve teases all secretaries,
and then we go into the car , then go to the studio,
where we recorded "God Save the Queen" with Chris Thomas,
and there is this school next door, and all the children run out
because we were there. And they call the police too.
That day was really crazy.
The next day we got up, Malcolm said,
"Well, A & M has fired you."
Anti-establishment Sex Gun
referred to in the founding press
to protest what has happened to them.
We feel that we are like an infectious disease.
When you enter and exits the company,
and the man gave you - "Look... Take this money
and don't come back."
What should you think about?
Do you have money?
Yes, they gave we checked last night.
Make it very clear in where their heads are...
None.
We are not boys good that they think we are.
We are not good boys.
We are really bad little bastards.
And we're still so.
Virgin Records signed it,
and Johnny Rotten has to record
Queen's jubilee memorial song -
"God Save the Queen."
You don't write "God Save the Queen"
because you hate English race.
You write songs like that because you love them,
and you are fed up with those who are treated badly.
# God save the Queen #
# The fascist regime #
# They made you a moron #
# H-bomb potential #
# God save the Queen #
# She isn't no human being #
# There is no future #
# ln England's dreamin '#
# Don't be told what you want #
# Don't be told what you need #
# There's no future, no future #
# No future for you #
# God save the Queen #
# We mean it, man #
# We love our Queen #
# God saves #
# God save the Queen #
# 'Cause tourists are money #

Should I be innocent? I hope the bastard dies.
# Oh, God save history #

# We're the future - your future #

# We mean it, man #
# We love our Queen #
# God saves #
I really don't think what he's singing about is outrageous.
He doesn't say "Let's kill him," or "Let's fuck him."
He shows the truth.
# God save the Queen #
# We mean it, man #
# There is no future #
# ln England's dreaming #
# No future #
# No future for you #
# No future #
# No future for me #
Cut off his head, friend.
# No future #
# No future for you #

# No future for you #
It alienates the whole country.
If they hang us at the gate of the traitor,
it will be valued by 56 million.
You can't beat that, man. That is the status of the National Gallery.
Silver rain on "The Sun" this week.
"God Save the Queen"
is an alternative anthem .
What do we offer to the UK...
is...
important point. We are maypole that they danced.
# Go away, I hate you, hate you, hate you #
# Go away, I hate you, far across the sea #
Where is it better to celebrate the release of "God Save the Queen"
rather than down the River Thames, and start playing
outside the Parliament Building?
"God Save the Queen," and "Anarchy in the UK" on Jubilee Day.
I just want to go abroad -
and there is no way out.
Have you ever felt trapped?
This is indecent, everyone.
All of this, that's bullshit.
Well, I have enough your bullshit.
I'm too cold now. I will go back down.
I like it. I get 20 pounds a week,
think everything is great.
I don't want to deal with that business side I don't really question it.
I was a friend _ McLaren before the band,
so I believe McLaren is like a friend.
# Too many problems why am I here #
# Don't need to be me 'cause you're all too clear #
# I can see there's something wrong with you #
# But what do you expect me to do? #
# At least I have to know what I want to be #
# Don't come to me if you need pity #
# Are you lonely you got no one #
# You get your body in suspension #
# That's no problem #
# Problems #
# Problems the problem is you #
The reason we are here is because it is the Sex Pistols.
If it's not the Sex Pistols, will be interested in this,
in this... boat tonight.
Listen, we have Richard Branson which looks like "Catweazel."
# They know a doctor gonna take you away #
# They take you away and throw away the key #
# They don't want you and they don't want me #
# You got a problem... #
What happened to Malcolm?
# Problems, problems #
We declare war on Britain...

Latest Sex Pistols record "God Save the Queen"
is number one on today's Capital Hit Line.
But the IBA, which regulates broadcasting measures
has advised us that especially at this time,
this record tends to cause a violation
to a number of our listeners,
and asked us not to play it in our normal program.
"God Save the Queen" is never number one.
There is no number one that week.
Whatever we say and do
really hit nerve, raw nerve.
That's messed up.
I still have to sleep on the subway,
can't afford a taxi,
and all that does not want handled by management.
Completely from there,
walks on streets in London
I'm alone, it's impossible.
I will be attacked on view.
You feel like a human wolf, like being hunted.
Always afraid of your life, really.
"God Save the Queen", eh, John?
I have a machete knife which rips this leg,
and the knife stuck in my kneecap...
and they can't pull it out,
so I have to like it, go with it.
I got a stiletto knife through My wrist is here,
Lucky I don't have one eye gouged,
because the bottle is pushed here.
Arriving at the hospital...
The first thing they did was to call the police.
And I was arrested because "suspicion caused an affray."
And a phone call from the editor...
who will say, "Bliss, we will print anything,
because you sell more paper than we ever did on Armistice Day."
7:00 on the day Wednesday, August 1.
Elvis Presley, at one time is known to millions
as "The King of Rock and Roll,"
has died suddenly at the age of 42 years.
The king of rock and roll died yesterday.
He was found lying face down on the bathroom floor.
There are many reports
that Presley is a heavy drug user.
All the time when Malcolm said,
"We can't get shows in the UK," we can play abroad.
We can do that, don't we, Julien?
Who needs damn English? It is a load of dirt.
There are lots of candles in my ears today.
So we did nothing. I just sit there,
with - Iike, we don't even practice,
no one wants to practice or do anything.
So, like, you know - that is a logical conclusion,
Do you know what I mean? Boredom...
And, like, I like that so where do I have to look?
No, I can't let it go.
My nose is broken, I keep wearing it.
And he appeared with Sid, and I thought,
"Who is this woman? This is a 'terrible person.'
That's like, the weirdest thing ...
I will never feel such negative energy from someone.
There are only dark clouds...
For this bird, and me really hated him.
The first time I met Nancy,
I thought Steve made love on the toilet.
I don't like it.
Nancy is a prostitute...
That's on coattails of "New Dolls York. "
And I really introduced it to Sid.
Embarrassing for me.
In New York I dance without clothes.
I used to go to people and dance in front of them,
and then get tips from them,
and you will do a little handwork, you know,
for... ten dollars, or they want to make love.
I'm just - You know...
is that, you know, I just -
there's nothing for that,
I only give good blowjobs.
"This will tear your ball."
I read the first Sex Pistols review,
the bad luck, and I said, "I have to go there."
I want to see something interesting.
Nancy, as heroin dealer / girlfriend...
Pumping him with teeth every chance he can get.
He doesn't like me because I'm ajunkie.
He tried to make Sid and me separate for months,
month, month.
Everyone knows when a bird starts piercing his nose being a rock and roll band, that it was suicide.
That's why when he really starts to mess,
and don't care about playing.
And I don't want to have anything to do with him.
We did everything to get rid of Nancy it's possible physically.
I even dangled him get out of the window one night, with his ankle.
And other band members hate me...
because I'm with New York Dolls -
Johnny and Jerry, and they are addicts.
# Fix #
# My baby... #
They must bring a lot of heroin too.
And I know Sid is really being Johnny Thunders.
I like New York Dolls,
because they are evil and cruel, and they wear makeup,
and they don't care.
And they play rock and roll which is full of temptations.
And they have good names, and good hair.
That must have a big effect on me.
I think he is the coolest thing ever -
Thunder, at that time.
I started stealing some of his attitude,
and his appearance, and, you know, his movements on the stage.
I look back now, and I'm embarrassed
how much I tried to copy it.
I don't need to do that. I already have my own items.
My discovery to the Sex Pistols
is arrogant in the head.
That's a bit offunny, actually, when I often see fans doing it,
I thought, "Oh, look, they did something I created."
Cunt, shit, bullshit.
Bill Grundy is a bloomers!
Because I have made the price of myself go up by one inch.
Leatherjackets come with heroin.
Vampirish goth looks comes with heroin.
This is damaging...
Here, want this one?
Because he is a victim of fashion which is very easily fooled.
Sid went straight into the worst type of rock and roll idiot You can hope for _ to have nightmares about.
He doesn't understand what we did -
Who wants some safety pins?
Our culture, our lives.
Who else wants something?
Come on if you want something, you cunts!
All I can say is yes, I can take English,
but I can't take one heroin addict.
Oh look, Sid.
At a time when we should be the most strict,
It can't be more loose.
# There is no point asking, you'll get no reply #
# Oh, just remember I don't decide #
# I got no reason, it's all too much #
# You'll always find us #
# Out to lunch #
# We're so pretty, oh, so pretty #
# We're vacant #
It's a pity. All these rich children...
Being a bastard. I found it rebelling.
It's like the army now,
a faction - chic.
I'm not beautiful.
I can never be beautiful.
I am in it in the beginning.
# There is no point asking, you'll get no reply #
# Just remember I don't decide #
That bastard ruined it...
They adopt a picture that is uniform in attitude,
and everything is about yourself.
# We're so pretty, oh, so pretty... #
# Ah... vacant #
Punk cliche appearance that becomes a punk postcard
with Mohican, and all black, with pointed hair and all that.
It's never been like from the start.
They don't have money
to go out and buy a 50 quid leather jacket
it's very similar to yourself, you know?
#... and we don't care #
And all that garbage, garbage bands -
basically all say, "Yes, we're punk bands,"
destroy it directly. It becomes accepted -
absorbed back into the system.
Shitstem.
# We're pretty... #
# Pretty vacant #
I'm a punk!
# And we don't care! #
Mother, mother, hurry up!
They killed Bambi!
"Who killed Bambi" is Malcolm's idea.
We are musicians. We don't want to make a film.
Malcolm is very clever - spending other people's money.
But there is a burden that is inserted into the film from band royalties, which we don't know.
I remember, just appeared to do the scene...
there is this person there, I think, "Oh, he looks familiar..."
Do you know the way to Hindley Airfield, friend?
And I said, "I know you are from somewhere,"
and that's Sting.
That was the debut of the film, I believe.
So that is the flying lesson you are looking for, right?
Now, you have come to the right place, Sex Pistol.
Understandably, drummer boy...
We are a sensational new wave of blows,
and we know how to sell more notes
from Malcolm McLaren.
And I know it's just garbage,
clears the whole principal and purpose.
We believe in rock and roll,
and we don't need you, Sex Pistol.
Record companies know
that our music is more means to them
rather than anarchy that is sick that you have ever done.
Get out of my car, you cunts!
He used to really get a hump, McLaren,
when we started asking for money,
so I stopped asking for it.
We have never had our own lawyer, which is insanity.
That is the closest thing to being in one of these boy bands -
is that they are all famous,
and we are known in the department.
How can you become a Sex Pistol without money?
You call the office, You get a zero response,
Your check is not paid,
no rental, no income, complete disaster.
That's very beautiful. "God Save the Queen"!
It's a monkey tea party.
What is the manager doing ?
The person who claims that he's manipulating everything -
manipulated nothing.
He didn't understand at that time.
Once we said, "We left the group
unless you got us some shows, you stupid little bastard,"
he got something together the next day.
Well, he can do that all the time.
"Spots" is good - Sex Pistols on tour.
But I think it's terrible that we have to, like,
not being yourself, and going under secret monikers.
I'm a Sex Gun, and that's it.
And we only performed this secret in small clubs,
and it's only packed with fans who have never seen us.
And they are like the best show, man.
They are really great.

Huddersfield, I remember very dearly.
Two concerts, matinee,
with children throwing pie to me,
and later that night, attacked union members.
That's heaven.
He wants daddy back to work,
which in my opinion is a very good idea.
It's like our Christmas party, really.
I remember everyone really relaxed that day.
Everyone gets very good,
and everyone is in an extraordinary mood.
Because it is a benefit for children broken offiremen around that time,
and who have done strikes for a long time.
And I have written to Santa today,
and I have a skateboard.
Lots of love at home,
and Sid was great that day.
Everything about is very beautiful.
Okay, gang, this party is given to you absolutely free
and at the expense of Sex Pistols,
so let's cheer for the Sex Pistols.
Come on, listen to you!

# Mommy! #
I think it's our last show in England.
- Who is this? - Sex Pistols.
Sid Vicious?
Yes.
This is Rodney Bingenheimer from the "Rodney on the Roq" show.
Oh, hi, man. Without a future.
Is Johnny Rotten there?
- Yes - Hey, how are you?
I'm fine.
You're coming soon to America, right?
Get a job, move to California.
- Come to California - This is the best.
Oh, I don't know...
Can you get eggs and chips?
You can do whatever you want here, man.
Nothing has been pressed on L.A.
Oh, yes you are. Mentally pressured, baby.
Right - that's true.
This week at the Rock Concert Don Kirshner...
Kansas is extraordinary...
Family Funk from Sylvers...
The outrageous of the Sex Pistols.
Some transactions are slippery from Ricky Jay,
and funny Robert Aguayo.
We have difficulty getting our visa
because we have criminal records, all of us.
They stripped us off at the airport,
and Lord Sid's thanks are the first person they tracked,
Because as soon as they've seen their underwear...
That's it, we are safe.
They don't want to play
with the rest of our sticks after that point.
Worldwide
they achieve fame in 19 languages.
In the city, choose "Young entrepreneurs this year"
by Investors Review.
On Fleet Street, they sell more paper
from the Armistice.
They don't care with music -
they are pure into chaos.
Strict security for arrival from the famous punk rock group known as the Sex Pistols,
a group of naughty from radical counter-culture.
Warner's notes have been warned
that group might attack members of American Press,
but when Steve Jones, Paul Cook,
Johnny Rotten, and Sid Vicious arrived,
This is what they have to say...
None.
Well, come to America...
really strange experience.
Ow-ww! Damn kicking me on the fucking ball?
We have, like, this bodyguard...
With a walkie-talkie, and that...
Continue to be followed by, like, FBI
and fucking CIA, and 50 reporters.
That's kind of scary.
And here they are - at least two of them -
in a hotel room in Atlanta,
waiting for the other two to do the promised interview.
But they are in a strange atmosphere...
Flaky - demands that they be paid ten dollars
before they do interview "bleep-bleep".
Denied that, they stomped.
"Sleep," they said.
When the four young men left, their saliva was on the carpet,
their butts on the floor.
Beer waste and hard drinks that afternoon,
and some empty Clearasil boxes.
They left the hotel to go to the sex shop,
and then to their first concert in America.
We don't come from America, we don't understand America,
So how can they understand us?
Okay, you are all cowboys.
You're homo!
And I said, "You're really fucking cowboy friends."
They throw rain bottles and cans of beer,
and pig nose, and fuck know what.
Anarchy in...
I got a can full of broken beer right on my lips.
U-S A.
Fucking big lips with blood dripping down.
The show is quite scary,
because of all the publicity that has preceded us.
People just come there to see this weird show.
They think we will get sick on the stage,
bullshit on the stage, beat each other,
killing each other - well, that's partially true.
# I am an antichrist #
# I am an anarchist... #
Then Sid starts hitting himself,
cut himself on the stage, and really comes out for lunch.
# l... #
# Want to be #
Birds are better looking in America, that's for sure.
I really enjoyed that part ,
and they know how to suck dick.
They learn at early age here.
Sid loves Pistols -
as a fan...
but on stage with us, he can't handle it.
He doesn't become himself anymore,
he's trying to be Johnny Rotten...
with drugs.
And that shows, in my opinion, on my mind, is very bad.
Texas officer fuckin 'took me...
and throw me out.
And they have the authority because they have a badge,
and they have billy clubs and pistols.
Malcolm, he likes the idea of Sid being outrageous,
no matter how it makes it everything is chaotic.
I think he pushed it. I remember Sid said once...
"He never can is quite embarrassing."
And Malcolm left, "Yes, yes, I agree."
"You can be angry, go away."
He told me that I had to do what I wanted to do, you know?
And just kidding other people.
Fuck someone else, you know? Fuck them.
They moved me, they made me shake
more than I've ever rocked before,
and that's it... What makes them the best.
I thought I heard that they...
urinating on the audience once.
Why, I don't know. That sounds ridiculous.
- Get out of here! - What did they say?
Get out of here!
Better than homework.
Get out of here!
You fagot fucker!
Yes, the man tried on the stage
and damn attack me,
so I destroyed the brain with my guitar.
He knows that I mean to hurt physically,
and I have to say I am ugly about it.
But he came out and hit our heads with bass.
They are amazing.
If I can only see words, they will be bigger.
That was my first time in America.
Sid will sit next to me, and we will look out the window,
and we looked at the scenery without end,
and imagine John Wayne and Indians.
You will not sleep. You won't want to,
because this is the first time.
Steve and Paul fly around America with Bliss.
Steven, badges like what do you get?
I don't know. Department of security.
It is very nice.
Say goodbye. Say goodbye.
They don't want to be on the tour bus,
because they "really are bored with reggae, man."
Steve and Paul are a pair of sheep.
They did what Malcolm said.
Sid is just looking for a slap,
and being an idiot. Rotten goes into his ego...
it's really sad, very fast.
But the point is, Sid is my friend,
and I don't want him to be an idiot.
This is why we did trips on the bus,
this is why Sid must stay with me,
and like, the other don't understand.
They think, "Oh, you can handle it, man."
But, like, drug anesthetic is not like that.
That's not something you can just blow away.
This is the worst disease you can imagine.
She's too young for that bullshit,
and un-american for that nonsense.
I can drink, and I can drink druggie
from being a druggie.
And I will do it for my friends,
every time, anytime.
You can't feel comfortable, and you sweat...
and you boil hot and you pour sweat.
And your nose leads and...
and suddenly you get a cold,
and the sweat turns into ice for you,
and you install the apop.
Then you boil again, and you release it, and, like,
You're cold again and, like, you can't win.
And you lie down, and it's uncomfortable,
You sit, it's not comfortable. This makes you crazy.
I hate Sid for that,
and I will hate anyone for screwing up since then.
This is the only medicine that completely cancels all creativity.
It's about feeling sorry for yourself.
This is the worst and worst form of life.
Well, he didn't even play at the end.
You know, he almost can't play it.
Half the time he isn't even connected.
That's like ajoke. It feels like...
"What am I here for? What do I do with this type of circus?"
I just don't want to have a part of it.
In the end, like, I am the only one
which has the anarchy left in me.
The rest of the band, they can't accept it.
And then we have to, like... Like I said, San Francisco,
and in the city of Malcolm,
and Sid goes with Bliss,
Suddenly Sid hit again.
Winterland - final result.
That's not a rock and roll party.
It's more like a dying horse
what is needed for to get rid of his misery.
But Malcolm sees it more as a media circus.
He didn't realize how great our band was.
This is KSAM in San Francisco,
with the Sex Pistols, lives from Winterland.
Throughout the show, people threw things at them.
Of all - from above, from the side,
from the bottom right - and there are many people
jump on stage and be taken away.
The stage...
They came.
That's not really _ impossible in San Francisco
has a functioning monitor.
... What is that?
Is it impossible to have a sound check?
No.
This is the encore of the Sex Pistols.
Bliss will arrange it to look ridiculous.
We are all cheated -
audience... and lead singer.
You will get one number and one number only,
because I'm a lazy bastard.
You have to understand, they live in a very good hotel.
This is "unpleasant."
Sid and I were not permitted in this very good hotel.
We have to live with the road crew in a motel.
Lack of respect... for bliss -
and he did not reply to the call -
that's for me.
It's not fooled at all.
We arrived at the hotel and ordered.
I didn't realize that he didn't get a room there.
So he finally lives somewhere else.
# No fun, my babe #
# No fun #
Bliss is with me.
I don't have a credit card, and without money, without a ticket.
He tried to destroy
the thing that made Sex Pistols great,
and he managed to reach it that night.
#... fun to be alone #
# In love #
# With nobody else #
John came, and we tried
a conversation "clean the air", and we said to him,
"I don't want to continue, is even longer
the way this happened. This is, like, totally useless. Someone will be killed , you know?"
John said he thought the problem was bliss,
and we have to get rid of Malcolm and continue,
and try and try that way.
# Fun to be alone #
# Walkin 'by myself #
# Fun to be alone #
# In love #
# With nobody else #
I'm not really hanging out with John.
He always drains me. Taking a lot of energy.
My bliss hung out with me, so I went to McLaren's side.
Another thing I regret.
# Maybe call somebody on the telephone #
# Well come on, my babe #
# Come on #
I will drop Sid in seconds
at a certain point for the band,
because I know he messed up.
# No fun... #
That is the burden of the cobbler.
I only play bass, and become crazy,
and jumping up and down. And he thinks I'm trying
to take over his position as "Johnny Rotten Baru."
# No fun #
I don't want to be a prostitute for the rest of my life.
I don't want to be an ajunkie at all.
I know Sid the second will hit him again
that's the end.
# No - no fun #
# No fun #
# Alone - no fun #
# By myself, it's no fun... #
I'm the one who said "I've had enough."
I can't handle it anymore.
I don't want anything to do with with Rotten and Vicious.
Oh, bullshit, why should I continue?
I am sorry to say that I want to go out and leave.
I regret it, I really did it.
And I apologize to John that I was cheated.
# No fun #
We may continue if we will get rid of Bliss.
# No fun #
But that's what I feel.
And I can't let go of my feelings at that time.
I know it must end.
I don't think it will end...
with them being total coward nomads.
Steve and Paul scold me.
The last show is the worst _ show that I think we've played.
It's like, it's not going anywhere.
This won't work, is over.
Cookies agree, and we only make love.
The night the group split,
Vicious is pulled from the plane at Kennedy Airport,
victims of drug overdose.
Apart from all the hassles, what are you thinking
Is the gun really trying to do?
Is it just like really kicking the ass formation?
Sid?
Sid, he didn't interview me. Please try and wake up.
Ow-ww!
Sid, damn you!
Fuck.
Everyone is for Sid - I mean, Sid is like...
I don't know if You see the show,
but Sid is like, really shines.
And John is like, nothing.
The only person... only two people I can think of...
what I want to play...
Sid...?
My God...
I felt nothing but sadness, _ sadness and sadness for Sid.
The point is, like,
if I really like it, talk about it,
I just sobbed.
He is someone who is very dear to.
you see? He is one of Johns.
I care about every person from Johns.
John's gang should be is a band.
- Wake up, Sid. - Yes alright. I get up.
Now what is the next question ?
I can't be more honest than that.
Don't drop it on me again.
Well, that room... is very bloody.
There is blood on the sheets, and blood on the bed
there is a trace of blood towards the bathroom,
where the woman's body was found lying under the sink.
He was stabbed in the stomach.
Everything doesn't work more than three minutes,
and they go out. Vicious is not trying
to silence the camera that waits outside the courtroom,
but he refused to answer one of the reporter's questions,
and push the microphone firmly out of the way.
Grand Jury will decide whether or not to indict Vicious for murder.
If charged, the case moved to the Supreme Court for further action.
Vicious ordered to Ryker's lsland.
If proven guilty of murder of Miss Spungen,
Vicious faces 1 5 years to live in prison.
# Not pleasant... #
Have you had fun now?
Are you kidding me?
No, I don't have fun at all.
Where do you want to be?
Under the ground.
Are you serious?
Oh yeah.
I lost my friend.
I can't change it. I'm too young.
God, I hope I'm smarter.
You can see back, and leave,
"I can do something."
He died, for love.
They turn it into making money.
"Hahahaha..."
How cute they are.
Damn cheeks.
I will hate them forever for doing it.
You can't get worse than that. Can you, Julien? You know?
No respect.
Vicious... poor sod.
# No fun #
# No fun - my babe #
# No fun #
# Fun to be alone #
# Walkin 'by myself #
# Fun to be alone #
# ln love... #
And I said, "You are really fucking homo cowboys,
You can throw objects fucking in the world at us,
and you won't release our from this stage."
# Maybe goin 'out maybe stay at home #
# Maybe call somebody on the telephone #
# Come on #
# No fun #
We give 200 percent
for, like two years, and that's it.
I think we run out of steam.
You dirty ***.
I like being a Sex Pistol.
I will always be a Sex Pistol.
But at least, you know, when I'm dead at least I can say I have done something.
# No fun #
Press the destroyer self button, and start again.
That's about all of that.
# No fun #
So creating something called the Sex Pistols
is my painting, my statue,
my little swinger.
Are you still babbling, Malcolm?
Sex Pistols end
at the right time for all the wrong reasons,
but the reason is incorrectly forwarded,
and people continue to lie -
about reality.
Ah, ha, ha...
Ever feel you've been cheated?
Good evening.
We do what we have to do...
and that's why we don't survive.
Only fake people survive.
What I want is for future generations
to go, "Fuck, I have enough,
this is the truth."
Infamy, blasphemy!
They all got it for me.
