My heart sunk when the audience didn't spontaneously applaud when he mentioned his recovery from substance abuse of 20+ years. But when they also ignored his added accomplishment of being off cigarettes for nearly 12 years; which is even harder to kick than drugs and alcohol, imo; I was and am really pissed off! I've been clean for 13 years but I've yet to beat these stupid cigarettes. He's an inspiration to me for having stopped smoking, alone! Oh yeah, AND he also happens to be 1 of the 4 musicians in The World-Changing Sex Pistols? Huh! This man is uniquely talented and special beyond even talented and special people! I haven't even mentioned how appealing his humble personality is; which reeks of authenticity, and is just more good stuff to add to the great man who seems to not know how really great he is!

"where Punk started" Well where it started was that music critics of the early '70s decided to label some '60s rock and roll, such as the Standells, "punk rock." So you had the Stooges for instance, and later the Modern Lovers for instance (e.g. "Pablo Picasso" -- they included Jerry Harrison btw), and later the Sex Pistols for instance.

Starting in the middle, the north v's south or east v's west (whatever). Basically a series of pitched battles that would take all day until the ball got to one end or everyone was dead! 😂 I love history!

I remember the impact the music,the sound, the energy, the look and artwork of the Sex Pistols had on me in 1977 when my older brother brought 3 of their singles home from England in 1977. I was 9 yrs, but was grown up on all the great stuff, thanks to my brother. Hendrix, CCR, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Bowie, Lou Reed, T. Rex, Queen, Alice Cooper (band), The Sweet, Slade, and of course the 60s great bands the Who, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. None of them, and i mean NONE of them had prepared me for this band and i just immediately knew, that i had found the first band that i could truly relate to. You either hated it or loved it! It was not punk, it was beyond that! And boy, even if they weren't supergroup musicians, what they did was worth 10 times more in terms of artistic value! This was pure Rock n' Roll, like the Rolling Stones, the Who and Hendrix had been in the 60's, and i think its perfect that they didn't do another album, cause i don't know how they possibly could ever improve on Never Mind the Bollocks!

Punk on the other hand appears to finally be getting some critical reappraisal and people are beginning to wonder if Crass, Sham 69, X-ray specs, The Slits were any good and the answer appears to be a firm "not really"! The Sex pistols only wrote four good tunes and even the Clash only made their fortune & critical reputation post 1977 (London Calling wasn't even a punk album!)

Steve Jones' quote, "We're not into music, we're into chaos" appeared in one of the earliest reviews of a Sex Pistols gig in the NME in 1976. I remember reading it and being very impressed. I was the same age as the Pistols and was interested in what was generally known back then, if known at all, as rock music made by punks, though no-one called it Punk Rock. This interest had been engendered by writers at the NME, especially Nick Kent, who had written big article on Iggy Pop, and Charles Shaar Murray who was commenting on the New York punk scene. By the start of 1976 I already had Raw Power, The Ramones and Patti Smith's Horses. I remember thinking that the few pictures I had seen of Johnny Rotten looked promising, but the deal was sealed when I saw the band and some of the other early punks on a programme made by Janet Street-Porter on London Weekend Television. Steve struggles to answer the interviewers question regarding the bands success in terms of their impact and influence. The music that he and the rest of the band made was tough, hard rock. Not particularly original, as he attests, but certainly of a type thin on the ground by then. The clincher was the character, style and attitude of Johnny Rotten, he made all the difference.

After Ed Sanders of The Fugs ("Coca Cola Douche") used "punk rock" to describe his own first solo album and music writer Lester Bangs used "punk" to describe Iggy Pop in 1970, music writers such as Greg Shaw, Dave Marsh, Lenny Kaye, and Robert Hilburn used the expression "punk rock" in print during 1971-1974. That included Hilburn describing the New York Dolls, who Steve Jones, John Lydon, and Glen Matlock admired.

That may all be true, but no-one in the UK used the expression Punk Rock as a genre descriptive prior to the Sex Pistols. Iggy and the Dolls may have been described by American journalists, largely unread in the UK I have to say, as "punks" or as exhibiting the traits of a punk, meaning they were scuzzy, sneering, probably drug addled, street level losers whose music, pretty much ignored in the UK and, I'd wager, the US, was regarded as poorly played sub-Stones riffery, but there was no genre to which the description "Punk Rock" was applied. Nobody walked into record shops and asked to look through their punk rock section, at least not in the UK, pre 1977.

If the Pistols had not worked who knows what would have happened to Steve? And we would not have one of the greatest rock and roll albums ever made. NMTB saved me. I suffered from depression in the 90s and I could not get out of bed without playing NMTB. I found the Pistols hugely therapeutic.

This man is a legend! I was only 8 years old when NMTB came out so the whole thing passed me by at the time,sadly.It's funny to see how history has remembered them versus how they were viewed at the time.Hated,reviled,banned,considered as subversive and even dangerous.It's recognised now of course as one of the most important and influential albums ever recorded.The blistering punch that the songs deliver is still as strong today,this was a band with a far deeper relevance and musical aptitude than people thought.Like I said,funny how things turn out....if you're not familiar with what The Sex Pistols did in the town of Huddersfield on Christmas Day 1977 I'd strongly recommend you to look it up and see just what this "dangerous and reviled" band were really about.Then contrast that with someone who was loved by all back in 1977,one Jimmy Savile......well we now know what he was really about too! I guess the truth of all things will out in the end.I'm just pleased that The Pistols are getting their recognition here in this life rather than any of them getting one of those insincere posthumous tributes.How the music industry could do with someone like them to shake it up again!

I'm glad all this stuff about Steve not being able to play when they first recorded is finally being corrected, seems to me he was a decent player and watching some of the live stuff seemed more than competent !!......

I was 13 and worked the school holidays for a local tomato grower to earn money for records. Bollocks was one of many first Punk albums I brought in 79. SLF, Dead Kenedys, UK Subs and many more. Jones guitar style stood out against most as real talent.

Interesting hearing from Steve, he's a good talker. The interviewer comes across like a bit of geeky, know it all, google executives' slave, but he provided a decent contrast and didn't constantly interrupt like so many nobs these days.

This only goes to prove that something as simple as The Sex Pistols story became so serious. And how actually, a few guys messing about became music so ahead of it's time.

Swindle album had some good grooves .Shame the Pistols didn't make some more albums because Bollocks was great

If bands releasing a stream of albums through the years were creating a relationship of sorts with their fan base then Never Mind The Bollocks surely has to be the best one night stand album of all time😎👌

it's funny Steve lays guitar right handed but when he's talking about songs and kinda plays air guitar talking with his hands he plays lefty

Luke Hmm!...unlikely, even as uneducated and dull minded as Steve was back then i'm sure he could've figured out that you simply re-string the guitar from top to bottom and Viola!!

@@thestr8person Don't know what you're talking about. You can't just restring it 'the other way'. You have to replace the nut with a left handed nut and also flip the bridge (depending in the make of guitar) If you don't do those things your guitar will never stay in tune.

Oh man... nearly five decades after the fact and Americans STILL don't get it. I can't work out how Jonesy lives among these deeply strange people 😂😂
