Yeah but that's nowhere as much an apt comparison as you might think it is. It's like The Monkees vs The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. The Sex Pistols music/image was briefly good and God Save The Queen was a must-have album. But they were a Malcom McLaren creation yada yada.

In his mind they were, apart from being a "rotten" manager & organizing publicity stunts he had sfa to do with their music.

John was the only one in the band with any brains

 

[Duck Farmer]

Yeah that's true. I just meant to say the Ramones and the Clash are a level above Sex Pistols, no matter the popular impact they had at the time. The Clash are quite possibly my favourite band, though it's never easy to pick just one. London Calling is the best album ever though, no doubt about that.

Agree that the Clash are a level above the Sex Pistols and that London Calling is a great album, but it's hard to top Never Mind the Bollocks.

My favourite Ramones song.

Sorry jimmy didnt mean to add to your quote

[Magus]

I don't think the Ramones did anything I dislike.

I really enjoy the time CJ Ramone was in the band because he was first and foremost a huge fan of them. Truly the case of the fan who got lucky to play with them.

And sings in one of my favorite Ramones songs:

Saw CJ a few months ago in a little pub here in Adelaide. He was excellent, had the entire place crowd surfing and singing along.

Guitar solos are for noobs like JimmyBeerCarns

I can't remember posting this but I'm certain my #1 objective was to call Jimmy a noob rather than deride the guitar solo.

I actually don't mind a good solo but they're few and far between.

Of course they are few and far between when you are a Wolfmother fanboi

This is one of my favourite all time sax solos, not so much because of the musicality, but it gave Roy an HG some great material to rabbit on about for the next 2 hours or so during the Rugby League grand final.

Tina Turner's saxophonist, Tim Cappello, is who the "Sexy Sax Man" is parodying in bomberclifford's early post.

I'm no Malcom McLaren expert but he had a pretty good hit rate with getting bands up, to be honest I've never thought of him as being their manager in the fuller sense. Strong parallels with Andy Warhol in this sense though only 10% as weird.

God Save The Queen is on the album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols (the only Pistols album I own) but I don't recall an album by that name.

Hell yeah, I've posted before checking a few times like that in recent days

Don't sweat it, it was 1977 after all

 

[manureid]

So many licra clad people around. Wtf is going on?

 

[Powerstufff]

Don't sweat it, it was 1977 after all

Yeah, a long time ago. I've got some vague memory of them in a video on a boat on the Thames in front of Parliament and singing their version of God Save The Queen. The UK media went bonkers and that always pops into my head when people talk about them

Taking out all the mid-60's garage/psyche/punk/freakbeat stuff for a moment (a lot of which emanated from Texas and is documented on all the Pebbles and Nuggets compilations), the Big Bang for the British punk rock explosion occurred on July 15, 1972, when Iggy and the Stooges played the Kings Cross Cinema in London. Everyone who was anyone in London at the time was at that show, including a young John Lydon. Debate all you want about what was punk, who did it first, and where, but Iggy, James Williamson and co inspired what was to become the punk explosion of the mid-70's on that night. 'Raw Power' was recorded soon after in London and released in 1973, the cover photo of which was shot at that 1972 show.

Sums up Iggy pritty good.

Not that I know anything about it.

Saw Iggy at the Bridgeway in 1989.
Still the best gig i've ever seen.
Steve Jones was in his band at the time.
