DVD Reviews of Sex Pistols - Never Mind the Bollocks
DVD Review: Sex Pistols are Timepieces od an Era
Summary: 5 Stars
Rotten,Sid and the gang were not the best musicians...were not the best looking..and definatly not what you would want your daughter to marry. But the music they generated changed the 1970's culture of music. The Pistols made it okay to be anti-everything , question your government..be different. These songs are timeless classics that no true music fan should be without.DVD Review: You need this dvd!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love the Classic Albums series and I love the Sex Pistols so when I found out they had a dvd for their one and only album I had to get it. I had read and heard nothing but good things about this dvd so I couldn't wait to add it to my collection. When I watched it I thought it was another great documentary about the album and you also hear a little bit about their history too. Everyone in the band is interviewed (except Sid ofcourse.) Rotten is extreemly interesting and hillarious as always. When you hear him talk you'll realize just how smart of a person he really is. Steve Jones plays some guitar and shows how he came up with some of the guitar parts for certain songs. Malcom is also very interesting to hear saying he didn't want to be a manager for the band but rather a mismanager. I always thought that guy was a quack. They talk about all the biggest moments such as the Bill Grundy show, God Save The Queen on a boat, and the artwork for the album including interviews with the artist Jaimie Reed. If you're a big Sex Pitols fan or just love this album then it is very essential you pick up this dvd. This is one of my favorites in my dvd collection. There are also plenty of bonus features including a hillarious story about Johnny Rotten meeting Freddie Mercury who was with Queen recording in the studio in the same building. You can't really go wrong here and the Classic Albums series whenever they document a good album are always good. Other titles in the series I liked were The Dark Side Of The Moon, Who's Next and Machine Head.DVD Review: A great lesson in Sex Pistology
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great DVD. Even long time Sex Pistols fans might get a new tidbit of information that they had never known. For the first time maybe in their lives, the members of the Pistols are very candid and maybe even a bit nostalgic, even though none of them are seen together and they are all interviewed seperately. Steve loves Johnny, but that doesn't mean he wants to hang out with him, Johnny is proud of all the members, and Glenn shows no hard feelings. Paul had the least amount to say, but what he said was direct and to the point. Sid Vicious gets very little time. He is seen in the live footage and Johnny talks about him in a short bonus feature. The only idiot on the entire DVD is Malcolm, but that's really no big surprise. He always has and always will be a tool.
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.
DVD Review: This is the best Sex Pistols documentary but...
Summary: 4 Stars
It didn't go through the whole carrier and it mainly talked about their start and their relationships together which is great but didn't talk about the times and the chronological history of the pistols, their American tour and eventual break up.
You must to watch this along with "The Filth and the Fury" if you want to get the whole picture. One thing I really liked about this is you didn't have Johnny Lydon speaking about the history of the Sex Pistols with anger and spite of earlier interviews which distorted the truth, it was more like he was fondly reminiscing factually about being in the Sex Pistols and giving up his ego and telling of his faults.
Another great thing it was just clips of performances, photos and one on one interviews with the band, producers, techincians and record company executives, no dramatics or no other bands or fans talking about them which would muddle the documentary. It's stripped down to the important stuff.
A must see for any fan.
DVD Review: Even better than "The Filth and the Fury", I agree!
Summary: 5 Stars
I felt pleasantly surprised after watching this. I gained a new respect for the band, and seeing how they created this unique album added a new dimension to the film. I enjoyed the many special features possibly more than the documentary itself.
The band members are in great form and are as candid as you'll ever see them. Glen Matlock and Steve Jones provide many insights, and watching them perform their riffs today is a great pleasure, but it's Johnny Rotten who steals the show with his dark clarity. Amazing words!
It's a fairly low-budget effort, but it's the best Sex Pistols DVD that you can find, and an excellent documentary about the making of legendary music.
