商品の説明
Britain in 1976 was a country divided by class and deeply wounded by industrial unrest and unemployment. The music industry was almost comatose with the effect of overblown supergroups producing self indulgent "progressive rock." consequently the stage is set for four working class teenagers to create chaos and mayhem among the established order of the music business and in 1977 produce one of the most influential albums in rock music. They were the Sex Pistols. This program tells the story of the making of Never Mind the Bollocks - Here's the Sex Pistols, the album that was, and remains to this day, a key inspiration worldwide for the alternative music scene. Featuring live concert footage, TV performances, home movie footage, promotional videos, interviews and much much more!

We finally learn who played what on the album itself. Glen did play the bass guitar on Anarchy, and Steve played two seperate guitar tracks, one track serving as the bass.
They even tracked down the guy who did the artwork for the Pistols.
I think of all those in the band Steve has the most intelligent insight. He admitted that if they had kept Glen and did not do the TV show where they cursed on the air, the Pistols would have lasted longer and recorded more albums.
I came to my own conclusion that Glen was not fired for 'constantly washing his feet', but because he was the most competant musician of the group. Glen tried to teach STeve how to play what he called 'Beatle chords' and Steve refused to play them and just stuck with the major chords in bar form.
If I have anything negetive to say about the DVD, don't be taken in by the 'Play guitar in a day the Steve Jones Way'. Steve does demonstrate how to play a few riffs, and on his original Les Paul with the pinup girls. But would it have killed the camera man to have the camera straight on the guitar and not film the riffs at a 45 degree angle? I know how to play the songs anyway, I've had the original tab book for years, but the camera angle on the guitar on this sequence is terrible.
The boys are alive and well though and getting ready to do some shows soon (November 2007). On the DVD Paul actually looks pretty good and resembles any number of one hit wonder musicians from the 80's. Glen looks like a rather dapper chap and if you didn't know him, you'd think he was a sales manager and not a musician. Steve Jones looks more like a retired wrestler than a punk guitarist, and Johnny..... Well Johnny has aged some. His earlobes are dangling almost comically. As if he had been wearing 5 pound earrings for ten years, and it is obvious he has never cared about his hair, from his glory days until today. I don't know who painted the blue stripe, but Johnny is Johnny.
And saints be praised. There is not one film cell that contains any image of Nancy Spungen.
After all of the lies and lack of information about the Sex Pistols, it is really cool to hear and see how these songs came to be. It is amazing that Lydon, Cook, Jones, and Matlock bumped into each other at an alternative clothing store at such a combustible time period. "Never Mind The Bullocks" is the most influential rock album of all time(so far). While I like the Ramones, their lyrics were crap. NMTB dealt with abortion, the Berlin Wall, government corruption, narcissism, and the incompetence of the press, and a whole lot more.
If only they had a proper manager and had left John Beverly (aka Sid Vicious) in the audience. It is scary how good their second album might have been.
This DVD is a keeper.
No surprise, though, that the pistols were, in fact, good musicians, often imitated, much maligned. The engineers Chris Thomas and Bill Price digging into how they mixed NMTB is fascinating if you've ever worn out a copy of that great, great album. The pistols were a fantastic accident and this DVD gives you a glimpse into their genius. Yep, genius.
