It was always Cook Jones together, even in the swindle movie. John was not part of it and so was the situation with Glen that was later replaced by Sid who was the real anarchist. They always die young, ya know....
Cook always kept the Pistols grounded, they needed one normal down to earth geezer among all the loose cannons especially after Matlock was replaced by Sid, he was their Entwistle.
bogus money Matlock was a smart grounded bloke too. Those two were the brains of the outfit. Cook and Matlock can mix well with anyone because they didn't do the drugs and booze like Steve, did and , Johnny. John always seems pissed these days.
Don’t insult JE. Sid couldn’t play the bass bc he was too stoned. Tragic and not his fault but he is not or will be considered an entwistle. Poor sids mother gave him heroin as a young teenager!
the term underrated is used alot but you r right, in this case paul cook def is. I wouldn't under appreciated tho by the pistols themselves. They all knew Cookie was more then solid. You had to be a bit of a talent to keep beat and drum them songs!
Not to me. I always loved him. Since DAY one. I had a cassette bootleg of him in '77 from '76 (I was hep, I know, I know ) and his fucking kick drum work on the opening of No Fun was unnnn belieeeeevable. WAY back then WAAAAAAy back then.
Nice to hear them discuss British royalty and history. Cookie is well versed in history. I read somewhere he loves to read up on history and this proves it.
Honoure the Fire You Are The Dumbest Little Left Wing bitch, You are thick and stupid, you Are A Fool! You are not British! You are not from the United Kingdom! You are a scumbag! You are thick and stupid!!! You are thick, The Reason you’re thick, is because your To Stupid To Understand How Much Money the Royal Family bring into the U.K.
Honoure the Fire You Are The Stupidest And Dumbest Little Lefty On this Planet. You are obviously Not British!!! You are not British. You’re Thick!!! An intelligent Person would realise how much money The Royal Family Bring into this Great United Kingdom.
I bloody love them to bits. Jones is the ultimate rocker the most original of all and Cookie..bless him!! Great drummer, great band, the greatest. I adore them!!
People outside England won't know what Paul means when he says he thinks Prince Charles is the F.A.Cup ... the shape of the handles of the F.A Cup look like Charles' big bloody wingnuts ... that's what.
Well I'm not from England....but it seems like Prince Charles is not the sharpest tool in the shed...not the brightest bulb in the house....know what I'm saying?
I feel like Paul is the reserved, classy member of the Pistols, he was just quiet and kept to himself and went along with the ride....and didn't wash his feet too much.
Just saw this..I first heard the Pistols in the summer of 1977..wore the 45 ( remember those?) out, then the LP. These guys gave me many hours of great songs and were the soundtrack to my first year in college..Thank you and wish them all the best.
The audio on these clips are always terrible!!!! Why is it so quiet? You work at a radio station.... with awesome audio quality. How is this even an issue?
WOW. I love to hear them talk about their band not getting along. JUST GET OVER IT YOU GUYS!!! You are ALL legends!! made history. Now enjoy it and get back together! Also shoutout to Paul for being above all of that and still talking to everyone!! Love you dudes!
Can't quite believe I'm watching 50% of The Sex Pistols chatting about 'being Knighted' - no one could've foreseen this eventuality in 1977 !! Of that I am sure. Lol. Peace. Rx
Always thought Cookie was the back bone of the pisToLs.He did his job and just got on with it....Would have liked to hear more pisToLs chat.Make the most of it when you've got the chance.
Paul and steve were and still are the face of the sex pistols, they were the only proper musicians there WHO KNEW HOW TO PLAY THEIR INSTRUMENTS 👏👏👏 Lotta love for cookie and jonesy
PLEASE!!! SOMEONE TELL ME WHERE CAN I WATCH JOHNNY ROTTEN ON JONESY'S JUKEBOX. Please! I'm not referring to the only podcast transcripts, i mean the video! like this one! If you have a link, please. And if you don't mind, link me the one with Malcom Mcleren also. please.
What's Cookie doing in LA today? I missed the show and this is just a short segment so I missed why he is in town. Is he on vacation with his family or is he doing shows with some band? I remember when the Jukebox was on Indie 103.1 and Cookie showed up on it a lot in studio or over the phone.
This is NMTB on camera. Jones did all guitar and most bass parts on the lp. Bodies UK and Queen the 3 not him. He would lay down guitar to Cooks drums, bass after half a step down.
Very sweet seeing them together. I wish they lived in the same city, so they could sit on a park bench, once a week and feed the pigeons and chat.These knights should wrinkle together! Hussah! London isn't so bad, Steve! And L.A. could be a great winter retreat, Paul.........................
Steve was a former skinhead and petty thief who loved music. He and John never got on as Steve didnt accept John as any form of leader or band representative....which (like it or not) he became The band formed with a singer - Wally - Glen, Paul and Steve. They had a rehearsal suite for over a year just outside Hammersmith, as Wally's dad worked for a firm which made the room available. They could play with limitations, mainly with stolen equipment. Steve couldnt sing, neither could Wally....in came Malcolm who latched on to them as the band hung round his Kings Road shop, where Glen worked. Malcolm advertised for a singer. BANG! Glen was ostracised by Steve for being a perfectionist and a moaner Sid was treated as an oddball by everyone except John, who thought he would stand out in a crowd. Malcolm heard the kerching as soon as he met him Paul could play drums well, he was friendly and comfortable Steve became a top guitar player - also played 90% of the bass on NMTB, after Chris Thomas insisted Malcolm saw the band as an extension of his shops, to add in more publicity for a new wave of arts - mainly London centric - around Let it Rock which became Sex, which became Seditionaries John tolerated Steve, loved Paul, didnt mind Glen Glen was a decent bass player who knew Malcolm well and he saw fame on the horizon, but became a Pete Best figure when Steve told him to fuck off Sid was a drug-dependent loner who didnt own a bass and couldnt play. He found a home when John suggested he joined to bolster the image and reputation of the band - he was mainly intended to be a good laugh Steve tolerated Sid as a talentless, yet amusing, add-on and unlike Glen, Sid didnt try to boss anyone around Everyone, apart from Glen, despised Malcolm, yet they all fell in with him as he provided the band's much needed structure: no Malcolm = no TV appearance, no album, no fame.... Complex, wasn't it?n
The single biggest secret to the Pistols isn't Wanker A: Johnny or Wanker B: Steve. It is Paul. PS I love Steve and John's contributions as much as anyone, but Cookie is it!
