Steve Jones is one of the best rock and roll guitar players in history. Steve has the magic in his hands and his sound is the perfect example of the magical union of the Gibson Les Paul and the Marshall JCM800 amplifier.

Absolutely agreed. It was definitely one of the better ideas of me as a youth to go see the Pistols in 1996. Would love to see Gemeration Sex, too. Hope they keep touring.

Watched this so many times. Steve Jones n Paul Cook really are solid Professionals.

Man I can't believe what I'm reading here. This is the best thing to happen to rock and roll in years. These guys are still learning to play together. I can't stop watching this. It's fking amazing and I never thought it would happen. Ready steady go, your generation and the pistols classics Wish I was there in the crowd. Tony on bass, Billy on vocals plus Paul and Steve tearing it up 1977 style🔥🔥🔥

Steve has lost some serious weight - he had no choice, his doctors told him when he nearly died from a heart condition. 'Burny Guitars' provide him mostly nowadays and they give them to him for free. Steve HATES Gibson, even though here/on these gigs he still uses a copy of his legendary cheesecake Custom, and it is due to the way the previous management dealt with him, I mean for fucks sake you give someone of his stature what TF he wants - just look at 'who' Gibson endorses today, it is comical.

Back in the 80s I had a tape with Generation X on one side and Sex Pistols on the other. Loved both bands!

My way ! In my opinion, this is the best version ever!!!!!!do you agree with me, old punk man grow up with with those legends we all enjoying today??

Steve Cook: the Blueprint for all Punk Drummers

My heart beams - look at Jonesy, he is just having a ball. Given he nearly died a few years back to have icons, true not wannabe 'icons' still with us and performing is an incalculable gift. I saw the 'Filthy Lucre' Tour, and I was off my face but will never ever forget Steve with his magnificent Gibson blue sparkler Custom in leopard pants with "SLAG" on his guitar strap. BTW Steve gifted that beautiful sparkling blue guitar to one of his very closest mates. It will NEVER be sold. Wish he'd asked for it back for these gigs.

Outstanding ‼️😍🎸🔥

Generation X one of my favorite bands

Can’t believe they played Bodies!!:0

Very entertaining and Cookie played a blinder! Clearly looked after himself all these years, very impressive.

Generation X, The Sex Pistols and Sigue Sigue Sputnik all inspired us to make our quadruple-album. A solid performance by the band!! No Serial Killer.

Brilliant. Cook and Jones were on fire. Very enjoyable.

It was a fantastic Night, never forget ❤❤❤❤

4 of my early heroes. Jonesy is an awesome guitar player and cooky still rock steady. Awesome. And Billy just being Billy. Mr James showing he still has it too

Those people attempted concert like this!they have no idea, how lucky they are!I'm pistols and Billy fan,all my life, and I'm still dreaming to be lucky to attempting 1 of the concert,,Those guys created rock revolution

Yeah, it is unbelievable! Back in the day I made dozens and dozens of cassette tapes with KIss Me Deadly on them trying to get people to hear them. If you don't know them already try Teenage Head and their debut LP. Nothing like the Generation X debut, but it has that punk 'n' roll sincerity and originality of the first Generation X LP. People really don't get how great that first Generation X LP truly is. Pretty much perfect.

The American version is not as strong, swapping out 3 songs for three others. Listen, on the Brit version is as good as anything they did, missing on the US version. Yes, I know Teenage Head's debut and it's excellent. My 3 fav Canadian punk albums are DOA Something Better Change, The Subhumans' Incorrect Thoughts and Youth Youth Youth's Sin 12" EP.

Finally Gibson have produced a new run of Custom LP's for Steve after treating him like shit for a decade +. I once watched a sit down with Liam Gallagher and he said he would swap his entire OASIS back catalogue for one record - that record was "Never Mind The Bollocks". Now there is context. Steve Jones is such a cool sleazy bloke and as a guitarist he has created some of 'the' most iconic music in history. And his guitar strap collection is hilarious. He nearly died a few years back - thank God one of his best mates noticed something was not right and Steve went into have tests done and found he was extremely sick - but now he's back to just nailing it.

Johnny is not the founder of the sex pistols, but he is really the emblem of it, it is undeniable.
