Sex Pistols: There’ll Always Be An England
Growing up in the 1970s, you cannot forget that gut feeling of hearing The Sex Pistols for the first time. On seeing this DVD, my guts turned for very different reasons. It’s a sad world when John Lydon turns to a crowd and says “I’m your friend, don’t be shy,” and means it. Thirty years ago we’d have spat at him in reverence. Now people just wave their iPhone. Although this is a really piss poor cash-in, you can’t help but love Steve Jones’ guitar work. Only a dozen songs in 30 years but what gems. Chuck Berry must be mad as hell. The thievery is heavily disguised as subversion, but you still feel the cosh on the back of your head and the vague feeling of hearing someone say, “Ever get the feeling you’ve been cheated?”
