Crusoe Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I only found out recently that Steve Jones had written the song "Lonely Boy". We used to cover it about 30 years ago and for some reason I thought that it was a Pistols cover of a song by Eddie Cochrane or someone like that.

SteveK Posted August 23, 2021 Share Posted August 23, 2021 I was in a band booked to play Westfield College in November '75. After soundchecking, some scruffy 'erbert, in the widest Oxford Bags imaginable, came up to us and told us they were going to be playing, and that they would be using our PA!!!! Later that evening, during their set, the singer announced to those that were still in the hall, "We're The Sex Pistols... Have fun!" I remember getting the distinct feeling that he didn't really mean it! Anyway, to the point... I want to know who's going to be playing me! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upside downer Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) Trailer for the upcoming series. Don't judge a book by its cover and all that but this looks worryingly like it's going to head down the cliché carriageway. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ol1B3w7NtU Edited April 13, 2022 by upside downer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much myth about the Sex Pistols as it is, and this looks to add to it, I can see why John Lydon was reluctant about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusoe Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 Looks terrible. I really doubt that Lydon et al would have spoken like that. Artistic license to the max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nail Soup Posted April 14, 2022 Share Posted April 14, 2022 11 hours ago, oldslapper said: Anarchic threats with Eton accents I think that was Malcolm McClaren...... and he did speak a bit like that (but would not describe it as Eton though). Let's see........ it will maybe re-hash all the old cliche's...... but if it actually follows the Steve Jones autobiography on which it claims to be based it would be an interesting new angle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Nada Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 The trailer looks worrying 😞, but I live in hope that the episodes will be as good as Steve Jones' autobiography. Danny Boyle's involvement is a another beacon of hope. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They filmed nearly all the live music scenes at The Venue and The New Cross Inn over a few days/nights last summer. It was hilarious negotiating the streets around the crews, the actors, extras and a load of tag along old school punks hanging out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveK Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 I always felt that the Sex Pistols were taken far too seriously. The trailer looks to be a good example of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_bass5 Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Surprised this thread stopped being active, seeing as its now streaming. Not sure how accurate it is, but im enjoying it (although its been an eye opener if it’s is all true). I didn't know it at the time, but i took a photo back in June 2021, which turns out was the set for a brief clip where ‘Pauline’ is down on the Southbank.
