I’m here because Steve Jones’ album “Fire and Gasoline” is probably in my top five albums of all time! His guitar tone on that is pure fire!!!🔥🎸Gotta support Jonesy!!!!
Steve Jones managed this interview so much better than Kevin Pollak did. What rock was Kevin living under not to be more informed about this band and their music. If you know anything about the Sex Pistols, and have done your research, you don't say when you started your "career as a punk rocker" to a member of this band. The media invented this term and the Sex Pistols did not care for it.
It's in the best tradition of Larry King to know nothing about the person you're interviewing. Like when Seinfeld went ballistic when King mentioned that Seinfeld's show was cancelled.
Only thing missing is KP Doing some of his celebrity impersonations. Love the RIP Larry King desk. Light bulb moment, Kevin get suspenders and some rectangle big glasses and go full larry king Catskills! That will be epic
FRIGGIN" IN THE RIGGIN" AWESOME EPI(SOD)E , DUUUUUUUUDE !!!!!! Dig the show !!! I was so relieved to find out Kevin Pollack is alive , cuz I had him mixed up with some other celeb (still can't figure out who ACTUALLY died) - Anyway , cool no BS lil' (yet long and in depth) chat show ya crazy kids got here !! Kinda like a cooler , MUCH more laxed version of that one on one Costas show . I'm A HUGE SEX PISTOLS NUT , but I like The Show all by itself and am HOOKED !!!! GNARLY
At school there was this Man U fan in my class with the shirt & all that shit, he was born in London, lived in London our school was in London & he'd never been to Manchester.
burt lancaster was in the film the swimmer in 1968. lancaster was in the gypsy moths in 1969. his original podcast must have been some time later than that and not in the 1950's as suggested by the host.
J's JKBx was the reinvention of the radio wheel, just like the riff on @ in the UK reinvented the electric guitar riff. Hope Jonesy reaches 100 in good shape.
51:18 Steve is slightly wrong here, Sid did play with Siouxsie but they were called Siouxsie and the Banshees for that gig (not sure if she spelled it like that yet), "Flowers of Romance" was a completely different Sid Vicious band which didn't include Siouxsie.
Asking whether Sid was in awe that he had joined the band is a great question.youd imagine that would have been the case for anybody but the impression that i get from the videos of him in the band and the interviews of him he didnt seem to show any sign of being starstruck or whatever.i feel as though the thought never crossed his mind.it was as though it was his fate for it to happen and what happened after.even Steve says he never got the impression that sid couldnt believe he got in the band. ok so we have the benefit of hindsight but when i watch documentarys about people and it tells their story it really does seem to me that the work of the fates are truly at play...
i like most of these Pollak interviews but in this one he is so tryhard it's embarrassing. he swears more in the first 10 minutes of the interview than he does in two hours of other interviews (while steve doesn't). i'm sure he was excited and all but come on man. as an actor he should know it is important to LISTEN. when they are discussing eddie izzard, steve asks at 40:45 and again at 41:48 if kevin knows why eddie STOPPED wearing women's clothes in performance, and kevin just went on about why eddie DID wear women's clothes. this is a great question and i don't think it was ever covered in the izzard interview either
Izzard addressed it once - it wasn't all that great he got tired of it or wanted a change. He still wears glossy red long nails :) - Your main point though is well put.
Admittedly, I had this on in the background listening while I was watching football, so maybe I missed it... but I heard no mention of Jones' involvement on Californication. How can you interview Steve Jones and NOT broach one of the two mandatory subjects in any interview with him: The Sex Pistols and Californication. C'mon....
It's annoying when the presenter doesn't know anything. Yes, Sid was a fan before joining, but he wasn't some random fan who 'got lucky', he was John's bloody roommate and friend from art school. He was brought in by John so he would have ally in the band, as Jonesy and Cooke were friends from age 11.
🎶🎵I'm left in misery The girl I love's gone across the sea I'm all alone I ain't got no home Mandy was her name Sleepin' was her game She didn't care about me Oh God, baby can't you see I'm a lonely boy I'm a lonely boy I'm a lonely boy I'm a lonely boy I need her tender touch Oh, I need it oh so much I can't forget I'm so upset I wonder where she's gone I wonder where she went wrong I want to get her back to me But I think she's tired of me I'm a lonely boy Every time I think of her It brings back memories I remember how it used to be Oh baby, can't you see? Oh baby, come back to me. I'm a lonely boy I'm a lonely boy Oh my darlin' can't you see You're the one that means so much to me I know I need you're tender touch Oh I need it oh so much I can't wait to fill your crotch Oh what a crotch I can't wait to fill ****🎵🎶
30:30 What a liar and hypocrite Steve is here saying football fans never change teams--he supported his local club Queens Park Rangers in Shepherds Bush for at least the first 20 years of his life before he decided to go glory-hunting at Chelsea much later on when they got rich in the 1990s..
