It's hard to overstate how different this album sounded to my suburban, American ears in 1979. At the time, my brothers and I were listening to Bad Company, Ted Nugent, Styx. This album cut through all that and sounded like REAL ROCK AND ROLL. This album changed everything.

Ramones are my all-time fav band - but there isn't a person in the world who can tell me that this isn't the ultimate punk rock album. Everything about it is perfect, and every person I've ever talked to who was THERE says the same thing: the 70s went from black-and-white to technicolor with the release of this record. Revisionist try-hards will try to downplay the Pistols importance. Those people don't know what they're talking about. An incredible rock'n'roll album that sounded like nothing else at the time. The Ramones from America, The Saints from Australia and Sex Pistols from the U.K changed everything. Period.

I would agree this album that hit all the rights buttons and was a seminal and influential (for better or worse) moment in punk and music. I bought it on vinyl when it first came and own and still listen to the cd today. Sadly, it was all an ACCIDENT of brilliance by a band that couldn't play its instruments, couldn't sing, was put together as a marketing prop (product) by Malcolm McLaren the way similar, later svengalis assembled boy bands, and it disintigrated almost immediatley because there was no substance or talent there to begin, only chaos. Once you've shocked the world once with outragous looks and blasphemous lyrics it's harder to offend or get people's attention a second or third time. They've already heard it, and without real musical talent there is nothing else left after the initial shock-and-offend factor has worn off or been diluted.

Bollocks is effectively a singles/hits collection Anarchy, God Save, Vacunt, Holidays were all singles with older songs and Bodies, EMI, Holidays being few songs which were written around the album recording. New York as song critiqued the New York Dolls (like Stooges) proto punk band which had become more renowned for their drug lifestyle than their great musical influence. EMI is about the record label that released Anarchy but fired the band like A&M mentioned in song who fired the pistols with out releasing anything! Sub - Mission was written in response to band manager/miss-manager MacLaren idea to write a song to have a BDSM theme so Rotten and Matlock decided to take piss out of this idea by producing a twisted love song about not about Submission but a Submarine Mission. Anarchy was their first recording and as you say sticks out from rest of album. Great that you enjoyed this album I would love you to react listen to X-ray Spex album Germ Free Adolescents you will get so much from it.

New York is part of a triology of songs. The first was New York Dolls - "Looking for a kiss" which Sex Pistols - "New York" is about. The last one is Johnny Thunders - "London Boys" which is an answer to the Sex Pistols-track. Johnny Thunders was a New York Doll (guitar). Also on the last track ("London Boys") Steve Jones and Paul Cook (from Sex Pistols) are doing guitars and drums.

I bought this record when it first came out in 1977, I was 21 and in university. Even though I was in Canada, I had heard about the controversies around the band (how they kept getting dropped by record labels) & the controversy around God Save the Queen (during her Silver Jubilee) so I bought it on impulse, out of curiosity. I took it back to my university residence room and played it immediately, shocking all the my neighbours who were stuck in only listening to prog rock, some of which had become very stale. Some of them said "Is THAT the Sex Pistols?!" I loved this album, it has so much energy and was a breath of fresh air. The chorus of God Save the Queen with the "no future, no future, no future for you" gave my goosebumps. To freak out my neighbours, I'd play songs from this album interspersed with Italian opera.

The Velvet Underground & Nico, the start of the whole Punk/Alternative Universe. Not only one of the best debut albums of all time, but also the most influential on so many other musicians. In the beginning it only sold a meagre 30 000 copies, " but everybody who bought a copy started a band!" (Brian Eno). It was Lou Reed's streetwise and nihilistic lyrics combined with John Cale's sinister and menacing soundscapes that would change Rock music forever, paving the path for so many things to come. A must listen if you wan't to be taken seriously as somebody who is skilled in the knowledge of Rock music and it's history.

When this album came out (of nowhere for U.S. audiences) most 60's classic rock bands where gone or withering on the vine, 70's rock bands where becoming over-produced product (except perhaps for Zeppelin, Heart, asnd Springsteen) and radio airplay was drowning in third-rate disco atrocities and mind-numbing soft rock (I'm looking at you "Seasons In The Sun"!). The Sex Pistols saved rock and roll in every way possible: ripping away MOR convention, opening up new and stripped down musical possibilities, and most importantly, showing that rock music could still be dangerous, as well as funny and insightful. All the great and influential bands and genres that were just breaking through, or followed in the late 70's (including future influencers like Joy Division, Talking Heads and The Clash), owed their existence to the Pistols. I'll say it again, the Pistols and Never Mind The Bollocks saved music for an entire generation. And it also just rocks!

Guitarist Steve Jones and drummer Paul Cook did a few songs like Silly Things and Lonely Boy. Also Belsen Was A Gas. The original had Johnny Rotten on vocals. They did a version called Belsen Vos A Gassa feat. the great trainrobber Ronnie Biggs on vocals as well as him singing No One Is Innocent. Steve Jones also sang on Friggin' In The Riggin'. The original bass player Glen Matlock left early in the recordings and only did Anarchy In The UK. The rest was recorded by guitarist Steve Jones. They hired Sid Vicious aka John Simon Ritchie. More for show. He couldn't really play. According to an interview with their manager Malcolm McLaren his then girlfriend Vivienne Westwood suggested this guy John that used to hang around in their shop Sex as the vocalist. Malcolm hired John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten. When watching their first concert Vivienne asked who this guy was. She had meant John Simon Ritchie. They both came in the shop. Some years ago Steve Jones played in Neurotic Outsiders with Duff McKagan (GNR), Matt Sorum (GNR) and John Taylor (Duran Duran). Check out their song Jerk. He also had a role as a roadie for several episodes of Californication.
