    I am a 63 year old Grandad, was never a Punk but have always admired and enjoyed the music they created.
    Sheer excitement.enthusiasm and great entertainment.
    Their live concerts, the noise,atmosphere etc imo are not much different to the early Beatles, Stones when they started.
    Their Tracks are timeless, as with the Characters themselves.
    40 years on everyone knows them, whoever wins X Factor will be forgotten in a fortnight, specially the drivel churned out as their Track.....!!

      Just admitting that you aren't punk makes you more punk than all of the people that do identify with it. Being punk to me means being yourself, and enjoying what you want without giving a shit what others think 😀

      Incredible as it may seem, I first heard it at my Catholic high school when some teacher played the TOTPs recording to us. I think he later went on record as saying No More Heroes by The Stranglers was his favorite piece of music.

I'd been reading and hearing about them, but it still totally blew my circuits to finally hear them on the radio. One of the greatest rock and roll moments of my life. They never made it to Chicago, but the first punk show I ever went to was a great one, the Stranglers!

      It's a myth that so-called Punk Rockers couldn't play their instruments. The Pistols were adept with the style of music they played...And after a number performances and constant practice. They became a tight band. Plus, not too many bands sounded like they did at that time. Just because they didn't wank on their instruments, playing 50 notes a minute and 5 minute drum solos to prove they took lessons as kids. Does not mean they can't make significant and memorable music. The Stones and The Faces and a few other 60s based groups, didn't always sound proficient either. Nobody comes out of the womb playing a musical instrument.

    Steve Jones and Paul Cook are so in the pocket and with a bass player that not only knows what he's doing but wrote a lot of the songs, Matlock, the band is brutal in its impact. Cook plays such awesome accents, he really makes these simple songs achieve another level. And just because they're simple doesn't mean they're not brilliant. I notice a lot of how the riffs go down minor and come back up major. There's some masterclass in rock n roll in here. Unlike many other punk bands, the Pistols played mid tempo, almost like a 70s metal band, not that they'd want to admit that.

    Lots of people are cynical about these reunion shows and I was myself - I thought it looked tragic for the band and worse for the fans. BUT at the last minute I decided to go to one of these shows in 2007. AND it was a ridiculously great night! What this film can't possibly get across is the atmosphere in the room - it was incredible how the love between band and crowd was tangible, it actully felt like Ecstasy. The band sounded insanely, cartoonishly powerful, and the crowd were all just shouting or laughing. A great nights entertainment.

    As much as I remember, there were 3 gigs at Brixton Academy during November 2007 and others around the UK. I went to the first one at Brixton. Having been a teenager in the late 70's and bouncing around my bedroom to the bollocks album nightly. After the gig and walking out I heard younger people, who probably weren't even born in 1978, saying it was the best gig they'd ever seen. Nuff said.

    I went to this gig very reluctant (1st of three in a row, 1st being on a thursday if memory serves ) , they proved me wrong, even at that age they still managed to impress me , but I also have to say that at the time I was left with this impression that ALL these songs are so imprinted in our psyche that it would have been impossible to listen to the 1st riff of " Pretty vacant " and not go nuts isntantly . I know I did, great show(s).

    Sex Pistols nailed it. They made one of the greatest albums period. They sound amazing here just like they did in '96'. The songs sound fresh here and Steve Jones is up their with the greastest guitar players. Steve's also a real nice geezer, his talk shows are a must listen.

      Very nice!!! However, I just couldn't help but notice Jones and Matlock, although extremely tight, seemed to elsewhere. Lydon commanded center stage and Cook still flails those sticks with the energy of an 18 year old. It just seemed there are still animosity with the onstage cohesion. Still with the unit personal problems I perceive, this is one of THE BEST shows I have seen in a long time!

The real reasons the pistols where hated in the 70 s just like today is because they told the truth & said the words nobody else would dare say ! There music is second to none ! Johnny rotten one of the the most truthful people there is sometimes it's not nice & it's not pretty but at least it's the truth ! Hope they tour this year 40 th anniversary of the bollocks ! (2017)

    There are a handful of rock/punk/metal bands people will listen to 100 years from now and this is one of them. Not J ustin Timberlake, not Justin Beeber, not Jenifer lopez, bruno marz, taylor swift or 99.9% of the stuff we hear on the radio.
    People will listen to the Pistols, not becasue they were great musicians but because the music is so original, fun, high energy, authentic and the words actually say something.
