To Bill Grundy, entering the studio that night, this was a last-minute interview with some punk musicians and followers where he didn't know anything about the music or scene and thought the whole thing was likely a fad that would fade out swiftly. Little did he know that, decades later, this would be the one thing he was remembered for by the world at large. Life is full of ironies like this.

Treasured memory of Johnny Rotten being interviewed by Janet Street Porter, who, at that time sported hair dyed in red and yellow stripes. Janet (trying desperately to demonstrate how 'now' she is) launches into an interminable question, hoping for a reply about the aesthetics of punk. Johnny sits in silence, looking mesmerised. The silence continues for several seconds after the question ends. He eventually replies, "'Ere, your 'air looks like rhubarb". Priceless.

I felt that Grundy was just doing what our parents did whatever ephemera we were into had to be ridiculed and minimised. Siouxsie said she had always wanted to meet him, and he said they could meet after the show. Unless there was a really strong subtext to that which was not obvious, I don't know why Jones got so upset. Siouxsie did not seem offended. The controversy that all caused was completely unrelated to the situation.

After that incident, the Pistols were Public Enemy No.1, I had a copy of "Anarchy In The UK", few shops wanted to stock it but I managed to get it before it was withdrawn entirely. I took it to the Xmas college disco and asked the DJ to play it. He played a minute of the single, when it was booed by the crowd. It was immediately replaced by Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music White Boy". My friends and I laughed our heads off. For a very short time, the Pistols were the most exciting group in the country. The ironic thing was that many of the people booing, became punks six months later. Those were the days......

I was 5, but I remember what all my teachers, teachers aids, cousins, aunts and me mum were into. Needless to say, the Ramones, the Sex Pistols, the Dead Boys, the Vibrators and other punk and new wave groups got little airplay outside of New York, L.A., San Francisco and other, major, radio markets.

Although he was fascistic in the Democratic Convention, in 1968, the Chicago Police preserved disorder and made sure the palms got greased, and the trains ran on time. That ended in 1976. Pedophiliac, incest porn and brutal films featuring rape and disembowlment and Satanism were in theaters. Shame was non existent from the bathhouse culture in San Francisco to the Jim Jones cult.

Because the generation who fought in WWII were still around and had been directly exposed to that symbol and Nazi ideology but they knew that the Nazi Germans were long dead and understood for this reason that it was just a shock fashion statement being made by punk kids as a "fuck you" to the establishment. It wasn't like today where the WWII generation is dying out and the media is changing the definition of Nazi and fear mongering with a supposed revival of Nazi ideology (lol) and brainwashing people into thinking the Nazis are still relevant in society to distract the masses from more important enemies. The fact that you can't show a swastika on TV anymore is one of the ways the media mystifies Nazism and perpetuates the fear and delusion. And they're allowed to do this because the WWII generation isn't around to stop them and their trauma from the war isn't fresh in the minds of the corporations anymore.

I watched this, aged 8 on live TV- with my middle aged parents both out of the room - it was a watershed moment in my childhood! I learned so many new words to bring up quizzically and inappropriately with my parents over the following Sunday lunch. This might also have included the other new ‘difficult’ word ‘insolent’ , which was what ITV repeatedly put on a black screen (during subsequent adverts) with white writing, describing and apologising for the ‘earlier incident’ and the behaviour of ‘the badly behaved youths’. Yet, in retrospect the late Mr Grundy was no better and evidently exacerbated the rapid unravelling of events! I’m now the same age that Grundy was then….so that makes me a dirty old bastard as well, I guess. PS loved the Pistols - especially Jonesy - from that day to this. And the Banshees.

Vale Chris Bailey When I say that Chris Bailey is one of the most important people in our Australian Music History, that is a massive understatement. Today's news of his passing is like losing a family member. I'm shattered and devastated. Chris came into my life in 1976, when I was supposed to be doing school homework. Listening to Sydney's JJ 1540am radio ( thanks to the Gough Whitlam government ) I heard (I'm ) Stranded by THE SAINTS. IT STILL RANKS AS ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDS I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY 61 YEARS ON THE PLANET. (I'm ) Stranded by THE SAINTS was released before New Rose. Chris Bailey was extremely intelligent with an acidic wit, not many, if any, could match him. From reports I've heard, Chris was kind, warm, sincere and generous. A beautiful spirit gone way too young. I think he had a great time whilst he was here on Earth. Not many people can do what he did. He was a Punk Pioneer without even trying or even knowing that's what he was doing. Condolences to his family, friends, all his bandmates and his legions of fans and supporters

To Bill Grundy, entering the studio that night, this was a last-minute interview with some punk musicians and followers where he didn't know anything about the music or scene and thought the whole thing was likely a fad that would fade out swiftly. Little did he know that, decades later, this would be the one thing he was remembered for by the world at large. Life is full of ironies like this.
Treasured memory of Johnny Rotten being interviewed by Janet Street Porter, who, at that time sported hair dyed in red and yellow stripes. Janet (trying desperately to demonstrate how 'now' she is) launches into an interminable question, hoping for a reply about the aesthetics of punk. Johnny sits in silence, looking mesmerised. The silence continues for several seconds after the question ends. He eventually replies, "'Ere, your 'air looks like rhubarb". Priceless.
Lydon can be very very funny.
Siouxsie's suprised face when Steve calls Grundy a dirty old man... priceless!

I have actually remember this happening. I don't think either Bill Grundy nor the Band were showing respect for each other. I felt that Grundy was just doing what our parents did whatever ephemera we were into had to be ridiculed and minimised. Siouxsie said she had always wanted to meet him, and he said they could meet after the show. Unless there was a really strong subtext to that which was not obvious, I don't know why Jones got so upset. Siouxsie did not seem offended. The controversy that all caused was completely unrelated to the situation.

After that incident, the Pistols were Public Enemy No.1, I had a copy of "Anarchy In The UK", few shops wanted to stock it but I managed to get it before it was withdrawn entirely. I took it to the Xmas college disco and asked the DJ to play it. He played a minute of the single, when it was booed by the crowd. It was immediately replaced by Wild Cherry's "Play That Funky Music White Boy". My friends and I laughed our heads off. For a very short time, the Pistols were the most exciting group in the country. The ironic thing was that many of the people booing, became punks six months later. Those were the days......
So the "posers" already existed at that time apparently

I remember watching this live that early evening in 1976 as a 13 year old. By the next year of 1977, I was going to Punk gigs in London as a 14 year old. If you didn’t experience it, it’s probably difficult to appreciate the scale of revolution this time had on many of us young kids in the UK at the time.
I remember watching this on our GEC colour tele 1976 in the early evening I was 15 at the time
What a shame that there's not much left now. The UK today is one of the most conservative places in the world.
Always feels like a revolution when you are in it.... However, it isn't.
@@SB-ok3xc Define “conservative”
Nice sharing your memories,I’ve always been fascinated by those years in England,and how you lived them
I saw this live when I was 11 and it was the best thing ever on TV
For an 11 year old, you're probably right. However, any emotionally mature adult would be sickened by the comments of a 53 year old man to a 19 year old female. smh
The band were not given the respect they deserved for their musician ship and song writing, Matlock, Jones, Cook and Rotten the original Pistols, Sid of course could not play a note (he was there for the image) but this does not detract from just how great and original the album was and still is.
Not into much British music as a rule but I like the Pistols and even Sid. Very interesting band and interesting times indeed.
So sick of people saying Sid couldn't play bass. There's a 1978 concert where steve Jones's guitar shorts out for half the song and sid's bass playing carried the band through. Granted it was a basic bassline. The misconception I think started because Steve Jones did the mixing and played the bass on the recording of never mind the bollocks because Matlock had left and Sid didn't have time to learn the songs. I'm probably wrong though lol
@@mikemurray3962 Nah you're right. He had never played bass before joining the band (he had experience in drumming and saxophone and even singing but never bass) but he was so excited joining the band the dude popped speed all night to learn how to play bass to The Ramones' debut so he could at least be passable. Then the heroin kicked in...
If only a band would emerge today to challenge the project fear and control there’s never been more of a time in since the 70s when another sex pistols were needed

Nope. Anyone who wears a swastika, at any point, is a cunt for life.

nah he was just making a dirty joke is all. Jimmy Savile? you're a freak mate.
I believe Grundy is just trying to be an early version of a "shock" host. He's provoking EVERYONE on the set who says something; Siouxsie just opened her mouth and he baited her. (If he TRULY wanted her, he would have singled her out backstage in classic Hollywood fashion like any other lech - NOT in front of a group of people and cameras!)

The best part is 1:08 through Rotten: “That’s just their tough shit.” Grundy: “It’s what?” Rotten: “Nothing. A rude word. Next question.” Grundy: “No, no, what was the rude word?” Rotten: (like a little kid admitting wrong doing to an elder) “Shit.” Grundy: “Was it really?” Good heavens, you frighten me to death.”
Rotten: "oh alright so you're playing games now we're all very impressed"

@@MultiEvil85 It was 1976. Obscene language was not heard on TV then. There were only 3 TV channels and there were strict rules about things like that, so Mr Grundy goading on the Sex Pistols to swear was going to end badly for him.

Rotten looks like a scalded schoolboy when Grundy asks him to repeat the "rude" word.
It is strange how a simple law not to allow swearing on television made this interview such a 'shock, horror!' event. The young lads and girls all look very shy and uncomfortable, trying to hide that behind arrogance as so many youngsters do. Had they not chosen to swear and Grundy be so unprofessional as to goad them on, this would have been one of the most instantly forgettable 'stroppy teen' talks ever.
This in 1976. A very conservative year. Nobody had ever seen anything remotely like the Sex Pistols back then. Not even The Stones swore on network TV. It made them and broke them, but for a short while the Pistols were the most exciting group in the country.
Actually I think calling the dirty old bas##d out on live TV took a lot of bollox (Pun intended). And Jonny Rotten was anything but shy.
Is there a list anywhere of all the names in that set?

The Pistols didn't even know it was live TV!!!
"what a fuckin' rotter" is such a low-key fantastic put-down. I keep it in my archive of expressions, to be used at appropriate moments.
I'm watching after seeing the "amish sex pistols" clip. Well worth a watch.
Love how polite and unassuming Glen Matlock is.
In America, in 1976, the average youths were into KC and the Sunshine Band, John Travolta, Starsky and Hutch, Kiss, Boston, Skynyrd, the Eagles and Linda Ronstadt. They dug ABBA and art work made of yarn. They wore Earth shoes and watched drive in movies like Carrie, the Omen and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre to get freaked out. I was 5, but I remember what all my teachers, teachers aids, cousins, aunts and me mum were into. Needless to say, the Ramones, the Sex Pistols, the Dead Boys, the Vibrators and other punk and new wave groups got little airplay outside of New York, L.A., San Francisco and other, major, radio markets. The first time I saw Patti Smith Group, Devo, Blondie, Elvis Costello and others of that ilk was on Saturday Night Live, the Muppets and sundry, network, TV, variety shows.
You are correct!
If you watch the movie 'control' about Joy Division (or better said Ian Curtis), there was nothing for the young people. They had no money, there were not a lot of clubs (apart from the big cities), there was no work, the third world war could happen any moment. Only thing you could do was listen to music in your room, get drunk, or start a band yourselves
@@wanneske1969 ... Also, it seems to me that with the ascendancy of Reagan and Thatcher, younger voters had turned sour on social democracy. In America, the country was in free fall. NYC and Detroit were bankrupt, Los Angeles and Chicago seethed with serial killers like the Hillside Strangler and John Wayne Gacy. In Chicago, Mayor Daley died in 1976. Although he was fascistic in the Democratic Convention, in 1968, the Chicago Police preserved disorder and made sure the palms got greased, and the trains ran on time. That ended in 1976. Pedophiliac, incest porn and brutal films featuring rape and disembowlment and Satanism were in theaters. Shame was non existent from the bathhouse culture in San Francisco to the Jim Jones cult. Abysmal. Baby Boomers wanted conservatives by the late 70s, because the postwar prosperity was over. Rich people finally convinced the young that income taxes levied on them were immoral. It was a right wing zeitgeist to be sure
@@wanneske1969 Ian Curtis was a genius and a tortured visionary
still listen to never mind the bollocks, great raw album that stands the test of time. Brilliant interview, why arent more guests like it.
When Grundy came up on stage to announce 10 Years of Punk at G-Mex in 1986,we all instantly booed him off the stage and people threw things at him 'til he staggered off.I think I remember Frank Sidebottom took over hosting for at least some of the show.
Oh yes he did, he really did
ok, good. at least you played into their crony capitalism by going to the planned show that made more corrupt capitalism from nothing. instead of normal capitalism where the people at least get something of value other than more p3d0 band leaders and drug addiction. i am so impressed epstein would be proud
Young bands these days have no concept of how bad this was back in the day. In fact things have gone backwards really as you'd never get anything like this happening on TV these days.
Unless you were there at the time ( I was) you cannot begin to imagine the shockwave this left behind. It was amazing to witness.
I've heard about that. But in this day and age it seems so harmless and innocent

Weren't they a trio when they got started? That looks like Siouxsie Sioux, Steve Severen, and Budgie. (Isn't that Budgie on the end? I don't know who the black girl is. I never saw her anywhere else in home movies of Britain's Punk Scene. I wonder if anyone else know who she is.)

they're questioning "shit" but not the dude with a swastika on his arm?
Get a grip and learn about punks shock value
Dude Go complain to prince Harry
Being shocked by a swastika is a relatively new phenomenon
Because the generation who fought in WWII were still around and had been directly exposed to that symbol and Nazi ideology but they knew that the Nazi Germans were long dead and understood for this reason that it was just a shock fashion statement being made by punk kids as a "fuck you" to the establishment. It wasn't like today where the WWII generation is dying out and the media is changing the definition of Nazi and fear mongering with a supposed revival of Nazi ideology (lol) and brainwashing people into thinking the Nazis are still relevant in society to distract the masses from more important enemies. The fact that you can't show a swastika on TV anymore is one of the ways the media mystifies Nazism and perpetuates the fear and delusion. And they're allowed to do this because the WWII generation isn't around to stop them and their trauma from the war isn't fresh in the minds of the corporations anymore.
@@SkragorSkumdreg thats not true. the old punks wore the swastika specifically TO shock. shoot, siouxsie got beat up once for wearing it in one of the central european countries on tour. thats why she stopped

This honestly never gets old for me. I always go back and try to see if I can hear what a lot of them are saying to themselves as Grundy speaks, you can make out a word or two but it is very difficult to tell. I wish somebody would see if you can possibly isolate some of the voices to be able to hear it better. Like after Grundy moves on from Rotten saying “shit”, you can hear him mumbling something, but it is really hard to tell exactly what he says.
I only hear, "alright I guess, you rotten prick." But I'm not sure
He says: "oh alright so you are playing games now we're all very impressed"

For the record, Siouxsie was 19 when this happened. Bill was 53. Creep.
Why is he a creep, she was 19 and its legal. He was probably just being cheeky to her with that comment.

On the one hand, the Sex Pistols (and say the name like they represent the store Sex) were punk's first big media splash, although it was building over here for a decade; on the other hand, they did what VU did, get bands together, Siouxsee and the Banshees being a case in point.

Is he dead ..? Was he the guy that Overdosed when staying with Sid?
@@ilovesammy3657 no he passed a few years ago in Montreal
Do you know about the girl in the middle?
I watched this, aged 8 on live TV- with my middle aged parents both out of the room - it was a watershed moment in my childhood! I learned so many new words to bring up quizzically and inappropriately with my parents over the following Sunday lunch. This might also have included the other new ‘difficult’ word ‘insolent’ , which was what ITV repeatedly put on a black screen (during subsequent adverts) with white writing, describing and apologising for the ‘earlier incident’ and the behaviour of ‘the badly behaved youths’. Yet, in retrospect the late Mr Grundy was no better and evidently exacerbated the rapid unravelling of events! I’m now the same age that Grundy was then….so that makes me a dirty old bastard as well, I guess. PS loved the Pistols - especially Jonesy - from that day to this. And the Banshees.
The same age? That would make you circa early fifties if you were Eight at the time 'Grundy must have been around 60 or so ' do people look younger now for longer than 40 / 50 years ago.
Yeah I watched Logans Run at the age of six the same year! I've never been the same since lmao!
WATCHED it live, it was not the Grundy show from memory but from what i recall was Thames TV's early evening slot " Today " ( usually followed by Crossroads ) for the London area usually hosted by Eammon Andrews but Grundy was a very regular fill in by the mid 70s - until this.
You're right, it was just called "Today"
The last word, not audible, is from Grundy. Lip read it, he says "oh, shit" as the music starts up! Drunk as he was, he realised he'd just committed suicide on TV!
Haha
that was probably the best marketing campaign they could hope for (without realising it). Actually I read the the Sex pistols were replacing the Queen who declined joining the show with a last minute notice.
I fucking love Steve Jones reading his book at the moment fucking love it.
I think Glen Matlock (being a proper musician and all) actually looked interested when Grundy referred to Bach and Beethoven, I can see it in his eyes. But Johnny interrupted. Maybe he knew that Glen was about to say something intelligent in response!
Glen's an intelligent musician.
The new generation which curses out its teachers on a daily basis cannot begin to imagine how outrageously radical Steve's words were here. This was something completely different

I know Lydon actually liked Pink Floyd even though he had a tshirt stating the opposite lol
Madrigalmann22 I couldn't agree more. I was into progressive rock before punk because it was the only type of music a self respecting young man could be into at the time, with perhaps Bowie and Roxy Music excepted. But I always felt a certain distance from it. When punk arrived like many others I knew it was what I had been waiting for.

Vale Chris Bailey When I say that Chris Bailey is one of the most important people in our Australian Music History, that is a massive understatement. Today's news of his passing is like losing a family member. I'm shattered and devastated. Chris came into my life in 1976, when I was supposed to be doing school homework. Listening to Sydney's JJ 1540am radio ( thanks to the Gough Whitlam government ) I heard (I'm ) Stranded by THE SAINTS. IT STILL RANKS AS ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDS I'VE EVER HEARD IN MY 61 YEARS ON THE PLANET. (I'm ) Stranded by THE SAINTS was released before New Rose. Chris Bailey was extremely intelligent with an acidic wit, not many, if any, could match him. From reports I've heard, Chris was kind, warm, sincere and generous. A beautiful spirit gone way too young. I think he had a great time whilst he was here on Earth. Not many people can do what he did. He was a Punk Pioneer without even trying or even knowing that's what he was doing. Condolences to his family, friends, all his bandmates and his legions of fans and supporters
Jones was the only true anti-establishment figure here. The others look uncomfortable, Jones doesn’t give a toss. Innocent times, actually.
