My life changed when I came home from school, turned on the telly and saw THIS. God bless the Sex Pistols.

These guys influenced so many future bands.

I remember watching the Sex Pistols on TOTP in 1977and being hooked, I still play their music and still fancy Johnny Rotten!

Absolutely love the Pistols. That being said, having Sid in the band was the nail in the coffin. SId couldn't play bass, stoned or sober, but he looked cool? Call them posers, but even Generation X could play their instruments.

Totally correct! When you kick out you're main musical songwriter (Glen Matlock) it's not gonna end pretty - the band was finished 6 months later - I look at this and, as much as I love their 76/77 work, they've really just become a different version of The Monkees, with the amps turned up and the sneers and outrageous whatevers. "Anarchy in the UK" is in my top 20 greatest rock songs list.

They never claimed to be a punk band

I watched this with my dad when I was 11, my dad said he liked the guitars and backing with punk bands but said they couldn't sing.

Lo mejor del punk Rock Siempre serán los mejores..... S e x Pistols

What’s everyone talking about?! Sid sounds awesome here! :-)

There wouldn’t have been a Punk scene without them, UK or the US. they changed everything. It’s funny when people talk about the NYD’s starting Punk, maybe, but no one would have remembered them because they were rubbish and didn’t influence really anything.

Great times

according to Glen Matlock (the writer of music) his inspiration for the riff was "SOS" by ABBA

the best and only punk band in the history !!!

Where's the totp audience? It looks like this was pre-recorded without an audience and maybe shown on a video screen in the totp studio.

Yes probably because if they went on live there would be some kind of trouble.

It's a promo video that totp showed, probably recorded weeks before hand

Punks not dead☠️

Don't ask us to attend, 'cause we're not all there Oh don't pretend 'cause I don't care I don't believe illusions 'cause too much is real So stop your cheap comment, 'cause we know what we feel

I wonder if noncey Saville was there to introduce the band

Poor Sidney. He could never play this live, he couldn't handle Matlocks skill level, and become a spectacle. Apparently, he was a very nice kid before mother heroin

Vaaa Cunnt

Sid looks healthy here, must've been before he met Nancy

Clearly lip synching to the studio recording. Wonder how that made Rotten feel. Amusingly, the bass on NMTB was played by Glen Matlock. Sid Vicious came along later for the tour. He couldn't play bass.

Perfect setting for Sid Vicious TOTPS has their performers lip sync and pretend to play their instruments

How come Sid don't help out singin

2 x albums." Who killed Bambi", was the second and it was a proper release but a crap album.

2:00 *John Lydon was recruited because McLaren was told (by Westwood) to look out for a crazy guy called John that comes into the shop - that John was John Ritchie (Vicious), but McLaren thought it was the 'crazy' looking Lydon - just another one of Malcolm's stuff ups*
