Recorded in May 1976 at the Majestic Studio. I do like the sound of this demo as Spedding doesn't 'overfill' it with too many sounds (Like on NMTB) and it's clear that they could actually play.

Glenn Matlock was a class bass player, his work really lifts this song.

I'm a big fan of both the Pistols and Spedding and I must say that it REALLY sounds like Spedding on lead - if it's not, Spedding must have REALLY taught Jones some of his tricks.

Agree with you about the guitar overdubs, Jones had only been playing 18 months by then and nobody playing 18 months would sound like that. I reckon it is Matlock though cos he was miles ahead of the others musically.

Always liked Chris Spedding. Been following his career since Motorbiking. Saw him at Knebworth at the Pink Floyd gig in 75. You can tell he's playing on this track because it stands out . He is a solid, rock guitar player and fits in well with this track. I have a few I wish he played on.

Seems like Spedding was one of the few of the "Old Guard" that was willing to give punk bands a listen and appreciate it for the stripped-down, 'less is more' attitude and not write it off in favor or the overblown production that the mainstream was promoting

Glen was extremely melodic bass player, solid and on time too. I'm not sure his style suited to the wall of sound that was Never Mind The Bollocks, but nevertheless a top bass man like you say.

WOW thanks for loading this been waiting to hear this for years. Sound great, it sounds more like Spedding than Jones on the lead fills. It actually sounds like Jones learned from Spedding how to get a decent sound after this session. Matlock is a great tight melodic bass player but he is far too busy for the bands sound that became the Ramones type root note bass lines on the NMTB recordings

Hmm - I think Steve Jones deserves the benefit of the doubt here. All the lead guitar "licks" on this demo aren't all that long and have clearly been punched in over the top - i.e. the guitarist only has to get them more-or-less right once. I can definitely say that in my early band days when I could barely play for toffee, the engineer on our demo had me do exactly the same thing and made me sound a lot better than I actually was.

Obviously Chris Spedding has been an influence on Steve Jones guitar playing,..for me, the most rock and roll out of all the 70's punk bands,and one of the few who did'nt 'up tempo' after the Ramones played here...brilliant..still my fave band.

That is of course & obviously Chris Spedding playing those little guitar fills Not the actual solo , cool demo indeed ... even more cool that when it came down to to it , Steve Jones' simplified Bass & fantastic Guitar is exactly what was needed & better for it . A killer classic album , obviously ! ... I love & own most of Spedding's albums - very cool that his last 2 albums have Glen then Paul playing with him , a returned favour 35+ years later ! KING MOB // SHARKS Excellent New Music must haves 10/10 !!

this to me is the best version of this song.. the way the electric guitar and the base go together it gives the song a sort of free spirited feel to it.. at least I think it does.. Its to bad they didn't join forces with spedding and played as a group right through the era.. I wonder what would have happened if they stayed together as a group..

Spedding was one of the few 'older' musicians to greet punk with an open mind. He'd been around for years himself and played in different genres,( jazz, r & r , rockabilly.) while his peers dismissed it as junk and beneath them, mostly because it wasn't bloated and overproduced the way 99% of the music in the early '70s was. He recognized the fresh vitality that it promised (and sometimes delivered).

@blastingcaps This is the sound Chris Spedding was going for. He wanted to give them a different sound. So he tried out an R&B style, which came out as he wanted it to. The Pistols nor McLaren didn't like it that much as they wanted a guitar orchestra (As in NMTB). But I love this, and to say the mix is terrible is just being dumb and ignorant.

Despite what Spedding has said, he IS playing all the little riffs on this version that he produced. Jonesy wasn't good enough at this point to play like this. One of my fave versions of No Feelings - a little on the fast side but that's OK.

This shows you how musically Conservative the Pistols were really. Pretty basic RocknRoll nigh on pub rock. The only real difference was Rottens vocal style, which wasn't so over the top here as it would later become. Of course I love it.

Your obviously not a Sex Pistols fan then. Glen Matlock is a excellent bass player. Listen to him in 1976,1977 with the Sex Pistols, then with the Rich Kids. Hes a solid bass player and is spoken highly of, hes always been able to hold his own. Listen to the Sex Pistols No Feeling Instrutmental demo, Glen is mixed very high and you can really hear how great he was. You must be a Sid fanboy..

And FYI Sid learned to play bass: he obviously wasn't as good as Matlock but for someone who had NEVER picked up a bass before and ONLY practiced for a 2 weeks period prior to his live debut with the Sex Pistols he did a decent job! Besides that Sid's bass wasn't always unplugged contrary to widespread common belief: he PLAYED on their gigs as you can distinctively hear in various recordings of the Pistols' live performances!

This is almost certainly a lame and boring comment, but I really do feel, that, in a very real sense, they should have kept Glen Matlock in the band. Not only was he a much funkier bass player than Sid, he was laddish enough, and Johnny Rotten had enough image to go round anyway, so I think a bit of light and shade within the band would have been better for them.
@likkidixx14 жыл бұрын
@gerontodon John hated him from the start and doesn't, in my opinion, give hime enough credit for the songwriting. Steve didn't like him either. Fact is, Glen was a great songwriter and they produced musically very little stuff worthwhile after Glen left. Then again, some of Rotten's lyrics wasn't accepted by Glen so that couldn't continue either.

more like "punk and roll" than straight "punk" (and all the better for it). yes, the track IS better than the version on "bollocks." by the time "bollocks" was mastered, mclaren had decided to take the FUN out of the pistols (along with the matlock). that was the POINT, i guess. (pointing the way toward angry, political british punk.) but something was lost in the process....
