Candy. My name's Candy. I'm a bass player.

A bass player?

Yeah, and a singer from a band.

Where're you from?

LA. LA. LA is the place to be.

What're you doing here?

I'm here to see the Sex Pistols and I'm...

also here to make the scene, like everybody else.

You like punk?

Sure. Punk's the new thing.

Punks can evolve. Punk's changing the world.

It's another rock revolution.

Just like Elvis, just like The Beatles,

now it's Johnny Rotten and the Sex Pistols and countless others.

And we're making kind of like new rules.

(CROWD SCREAMS)

My name's John and this is the Sex Pistols.

Is it an historic event?

Oh yeah!

It was the greatest thing I've ever seen. It was worth all the money we paid

and all the trouble we went through to get out here.

Fuck no! They're garbage, man. They're garbage.

I like it for me but I don't think I'd recommend it to anybody.

All I can say is it was a vicious, rotten thing to do.

I've been living in Italy and I feel like I really missed this whole movement.

I think I heard one time that they urinated on the audience one time.

Why I don't know. It just sounds goofy.

The Pistols are just outta sight.

I think they got a lot of balls.

It's about we got some street-fighting men here in America.

It's about time we got someone to rile the people up.

It's better than homework.

It's better than a lot of stuff.

I mean sometimes it's boring in itself but it's something to do.

I wanna be a Sex Pistols holster.

It think it was great. It was short and sweet, the way I like it.

Very loud,

very energetic and very nice.

I thought when I saw Johnny Rotten's face I thought I'd vomit, he's so beautiful.

The Sex Pistols are using news the best way possible. I admire them for it.

Because they've been factory workers,

they'd grow up and do nothing

unless they would use the news and use the media to make something of themselves

and that's finally what they're doing and they deserve it.

Y'all taking pictures of people.

They're doing things that normally happen but you're making a big thing of it.

That's what the Sex Pistols are using.

Those guys can't sing. They're worse than shit.

(FANFARE)

(BIG BEN STRIKES)

Just because I did not say it, how do the Pakistan government...?

Obviously that's precisely what I'm against.

In 1920 the Communist party published a book...

BERNARD BROOKE PARTRIDGE: The Sex Pistols are well known to us

as thoroughly bad news and we'd be very circumspect

about licensing any concert which they wanted to put on in London.

They have appeared in London.

They appeared as recently as a couple of months ago

but we imposed pretty stringent conditions

on the licensee of the hall where the concert took place.

What were the conditions?

Oh, there were 19 pages of them.

(DISTORTED BELL CLANGS)

Now, when you spread the idea,

as it's certainly been spread over this country

and I imagine over your country too,

that man has this right to do whatever he wants when he wants,

that is the most regressive, reactionary philosophy

that you can ever, ever propagate and the children are the sufferers.

It's no good trying to deal with punk. You'll never deal with punk.

You've got to go back and you've got to look at what's happening in society.

And you've got to begin to build again.

See, I'm not shocked by punk.

I'm shamed by it.

When I see these youngsters, who should be full of life and fun and adventure

turning to do this, what have we done to the world?

(HOOTING)

TERRY: People like me don't never have friends.

Cos we tell the truth. we don't care a shit about anything else.

So people can't relate to us.

They're scared. The media's scared to respond to us.

I ain't got no friends. Nobody.

I want friends.

Don't know. It's nice to know you're different from everyone else.

But it has as many down points as its good points.

A lot of times I wished that I was with people and enjoying myself.

But I enjoy myself anyway.

I get my labour money Thursday.

I end up with about £2.

Play cards Thursday night.

And if I win I can go and have a drink.

If I don't I can't, and I stay in or I go and ponce off someone.

My mum, like any mum, is sort of scared for me going out like this.

And my dad is like all dads.

"You should have been in the war. You should have been in the army.

"You should have done this. Look at your hair.

"You look like some poof," and all this.

But I used to get this before I was a punk.

And I think most kids do so...

They don't relate to punk is what you are.

Parents are like that in England.

Cos we won the war.

So they're just kicking at you.

Whatever you do, you just can't be right to a parent in London.

WARNER EXEC: It's all a gamble.

I think that record companies are like book publishers.

You have a responsibility to the public. It's not just dollars and cents.

Certainly this is not a non-profit organisation.

It's a successful organisation.

But I think that you have to expose all kind of music to people.

We were going to play one date originally.

Originally the intent was to play one date,

which was going to be Pittsburgh.

We were going to play one date and go out.

And as it transpired,

they had some extra free time so we decided to do a mini tour

of eleven cities on eleven dates,

which due to...

difficulty with the visas finally ended up as seven dates and seven cities.

I think that this tour, mini tour, whatever you want to call it,

very historic in nature and I think it's changed the face of music

in all aspects to come for the next few years.

The American embassy, I think due to a lot of pressure from the English government,

and I'm presuming that...

...refused the visas on the grounds of...

arrest records of four of the members.

All four members.

There hasn't been a rock 'n' roll group to hate for a long time.

It's an antisocial group.

It's something to be afraid of

but at the same time it's news and it sells our papers and sells our programmes.

(MUSIC STARTS)

It's called Banana Bread Recipe.

All right. Ingredients.

Two laughing eyes,

two loving arms,

two well-shaped legs,

two firm milk containers,

one fur-lined mixing bowl,

two large nuts.

Mixing instructions.

Look into laughing eyes

spread well-shaped legs slowly,

squeeze and massage milk containers

very gently

until fur-lined mixing bowl is well greased.

Check frequently with middle finger.

Add banana and gently work in and out

until well creamed.

Cover with nuts and sigh with relief.

Bread is done when banana goes soft.

Be sure to wash mixing utilities

and do not lick the bowl.

Warning - if bread starts to rise

leave town.

TERRY: I think you'll find most punks don't believe in heroes.

That's why they have the courage, or whatever you want to call it,

to walk down the street looking totally ridiculous.

They're just trying to get the message across.

It don't matter what you got on. You're a human being and you're messed up.

And your clothes, in my opinion, relate to how you feel around you.

Like, if someone looked at these clothes they'd say they're fucked up clothes.

And that's the idea.

You're fucked up with the people and the surroundings around you.

You get too much of it, society and all this.

Oh!

We never started the band and then said we'll buy this, buy that.

He already had his stuff and Steve had his stuff.

We just all got together...

...and started mucking about, making tunes.

Played to our grans, things like that.

Then we decided we'd go out over the Golden Shoe.

The pub.

Very poor.

JONATHAN GUINNESS: An important aspect of punk is that it's difficult nowadays

to become regarded as man as opposed to boy.

What the anthropologists call "the rite de passage" in this society

has become fudged

and I think an awful lot of people who enjoy punk

would really like to be back in those days

when they could actually see physical people hacking each other to death.

(MUSIC STARTS)

I'm going to have to ask you to get back out the door,

let people who got tickets get in.

(SHOUTING)

Come on, let's go!

I've worked in records for years and this is a publicity stunt.

They over-sold the tickets

because punk is not a valid form of music here in the States.

I mean it's a vaguely political thing in England

and they come over here and the only way they can create confusion is by fraud,

by over-selling too many tickets.

So you've got all these people out here that are all mad

because they've been taken.

That's their cause, it's not punk.

(HOOTING)

The excitement that the Stones got when they first started

is comparable to the excitement,

the media excitement and the consumer excitement

that the Sex Pistols are receiving now.

The guys are really, really nice people.

They're punks but they're really nice people.

The only thing I have never seen them do,

that I don't know that they've ever done, is thrown up on anybody,

but everything else is true - they spit, they use vulgar language.

Everything else but the throwing up is true.

- Hey, Steve! - Yeah?

Hey!

I've been nicked. I've got to go, sorry. He's nicked me.

Can we just...?

Hey, you're busted.

What kind of badge you got?

I don't know. Safety department.

Safety department. That's very good.

Say goodbye. Say goodbye.

What's your impression of America at this point?

Load of shit.

This idea that the punk rock scene is born of social protest may or may not be true.

Until they actually learn how to speak and enunciate the Queen's English

and put their arguments forward in an intelligible fashion,

I shall be quite unable to judge the validity

of what they are alleged to think.

If they've got something to contribute,

why don't they get off their big fat backsides and contribute it?

What is all this, if I may use the term, cos I think it's offensive in America,

but what is all this crap I keep hearing from people who tell me what they want,

who keep talking to me about their rights?

What about what they're prepared to give? what about their duties?

Why don't we hear a little bit more about that?

And then perhaps we would have a society in which we could all take pride.

Memphis, Tennessee. Elvis's home.

Today's his birthday.

We're here to see Elvis on his birthday.

Well, I just wanted to come out here and take some pictures and...just be out here.

I think he was a great guy.

I felt like a brother to him even though I never met him.

And...

If you excuse me now, I just want to go in and pay my respects.

He was a great person. we loved him very much.

Where is he now? He's resting in the rose garden.

What's your favourite Elvis song?

"Are You Lonesome Tonight?"

Have you yourself ever seen a punk group perform?

Oh, yes. Six or seven times I think it is now.

Which groups?

Um... These dreadful chaps, the Sex Pistols.

I've had the enormous displeasure of seeing them twice.

And other groups whose names I happily can't remember.

Can't tell you how pleased it makes me.

Why do you think that punk rock occurred?

Well, I have a very basic attitude towards this.

How about money?

How about money?

They're not poverty stricken, these boys, are they?

They don't do it for the money? I think they do.

TONY JAMES: The idea of having a job or having a career has never occurred to me.

Cos since I left school I always saw jobs in terms of saving up to buy equipment.

So I've never actually felt involved.

When I've held a job it's cos I'm saving up to buy a guitar

or buy an amplifier, know what I mean?

So I feel I've never experienced the idea of actually being in a job

and wanting to be, you know, head of Tesco's or something.

Like stacking shelves, hoping to be like...

chief stacker.

It sounds a bit stupid but for me rock 'n' roll and being in the group

and living the life is the most important thing and comes above everything else.

The band recorded their album in a room which is a bit like a converted garage

about maybe 15 foot deep and 10 foot wide and there's bits hanging off the ceiling.

It doesn't matter.

I think technology in the music industry

has advanced so much in the last five years

that it's almost become an end in itself for a lot of major bands.

I don't think you need to record records that sound as good and as clean

as many bands have done in the past to make good music.

And in fact that highly technological recording process

gets in the way of making good, exciting, live raunchy music.

(CRUIS-O-MATIC: My Boot On Your Face)

Part of the enjoyment of going to see a punk band is the intimacy.

See, in England when the kids watch the punk band they spit at the performers

and that's a show of affection

which the band themselves don't particularly care for.

All my family in Russia weren't allowed to go to school

and they weren't allowed to go out

so they used to amuse themselves by playing instruments in...

in their homes

and they would go out and hire themselves out as little bands.

In fact, many of the major orchestras in this country have relatives of mine

playing bassoons and cellos and things like that.

Well, I don't know very much about...

I know there's a group called the Flying Spiders in Holland,

a group called Brood in Holland and in France...

A band called Telephone, a band called Asphalt Jungle,

Television, a group called the Talking Heads,

The Erasers with Susan Eraser.

My favourite group that's out now is a group called The Clash.

The Adventures from San Francisco.

In New York there's the Ramones, Suicide, Teenage Jesus and the Jerks.

Japan I don't know about.

I get much more pleasure out of turning somebody onto this kind of music

than to ring up the cashier.

I'm an attorney and I'm financially independent of the store.

Before I came here I had definite opinions

and I suppose they were very negative about the Sex Pistols.

I've been here and I've talked to a lot of people.

Those opinions have changed drastically now

from negative to sort of a mellow type situation.

And really I guess now all I can do is the only thing that we are supposed to do,

as news reporters, and that's to wait and see what happens.

(SPEECH INAUDIBLE)

(CRICKETS CHIRPING)

I didn't know who they were until the people started telling us.

The Morning News and The Times, everybody called us.

"Hey, you got the Sex Pistols!"

And I'd say, "Yeah, I guess so. who are they?"

"well, they're a controversial group.

"They do this and they do that and they do this."

They called me at home and they kinda upset me.

And then the public started calling us and I was rather disturbed about it.

I tried to cancel it, you know.

I tried very hard

but they told me there would be three lawsuits if I cancelled it

and I said well...

(MUSIC STARTS)

I think your television, not the way it's made,

where it is in America, is just great for kids of my age

and you'll find that's like 100%.

Out of 100.

You can't beat that. But over here it's poxy.

I mean most of the programmes...

Our best programmes are the ones you blokes don't want and you sling us.

Kojak or some shit like that.

Our telly goes off at 11.30 and you gotta listen to God Save The Queen.

It gets a bit monotonous after a while.

And most kids ain't in till 12.00, 2.00 in the morning, anyway.

It still don't mean they're tired.

I mean society says you gotta be in bed at 12.00.

Which is totally wrong.

If you are awake and you can't sleep, there's no reason

why you shouldn't be able to switch the telly on, which you can't.

Yeah. You ask anybody and they all want to get out, man.

It's just the shithouse round here.

Even if you get a job, you're still fucked.

- We got a job. - Even if you get a job.

Get us in the red.

I'm working now and I'm still fucked.

I still have to go out thieving to get my fucking money.

Can't do it.

There ain't nothing to do round here.

Put it this way. I go work in the morning, get up at half past seven,

be in work by 8.00,

come home at 5.00, sometimes I do overtime,

then when I come back I just go straight home and I go straight to bed.

- And that's it. - You fucking wanker!

I just wait till the morning comes.

When Friday comes, like today, I went pictures. I just come back from pictures.

Nothing else to do now. Just hanging round here.

In a minute I go home.

Fuck off, Carter.

- How old are you? - 16.

- 15. - 16!

Can't get a job and that.

Mum and dad kicks them out usually.

Or they just fuck off somewhere.

Round the poor suburbs of London usually.

Cos what you're saying is totally unintelligible

and he can't understand you.

And we called him so that means it's a waste of his time

so let's give him a good interview, right.

Well, do you know what I mean?

Do I know what you mean?

About why you called it a day?

Yeah, I know what you mean.

Everybody was for Sid. I mean Sid was like...

I don't know if you saw any of the gigs but Sid was like really shining out.

And John was being like nothing.

You know, he just wasn't giving it any more.

He just wasn't, and he wasn't shaping up.

He was looking awful,

the way he was dressing.

The way he looked looked horrible.

He wouldn't listen to anybody.

And, like, you know...

I mean, Sid tried to talk to him time and time and time again.

Shall we kiss for you?

We're going to sleep later on. what are you looking for?

Yes, so am I.

Do you want me to make you a cup of coffee?

Where's my Scotch? Yeah, could you?

Yes, I'll make you a cup of coffee.

But will you try and fucking wake up, please?

Because we gave him an interview.

- We want to give him a good interview. - I'll do it, OK.

All right? You're not talking intelligibly,

you're falling asleep on your sunglasses. wake the fuck up.

wake up, please.

- Just wake up, please. - Yeah, OK, I'll wake up.

Right. what's the next question?

He ain't gonna drop dead. Take it from me.

He's just fucked up.

I mean he's been sick for three months that he's been on the road.

- The whole time. - (HE SNORES)

Look at that poster up there. He's yellow on that poster.

You can see it, can't you?

- Why was he...? - Sid, what are you...?

Put the ashtray in the middle.

Yeah, you put the cigarette on the bed.

- What d'you say? - Put it in the ashtray.

(CROWD CHEERING)

I see we got a lot of real men out here tonight.

I just came up and upset the bass player

because I knew that he knew that I meant physical harm.

And I have to say I was ugly about it.

But he came out and hit us over the head with a bass.

He was hitting us because I was going like this. "Come on, buddy."

And he kept going like this.

And I would have been glad to take him on or his buddy Johnny.

I don't care either one.

And so consequently I was taken out of the concert.

I came here to openly cause dissent against the Sex Pistols

because I believe negatively in what they're doing

and as far as I'm concerned, they're not worth killing.

(BAND STOPS)

we cut it about three times. He still got nervous.

What can I do? I'm made to look a cunt.

I don't go up there and get nervous and make them look cunts.

Ain't right that they should get nervous and make me look a cunt.

Ain't what it's all about.

If you can't take it don't fucking stand the pace.

What about the audience?

They're not as good as we usually have but...

You know, they were there, we played, that's it.

- I don't care if one people turns up. - Tel.

- And they like us. - See you tomorrow. I'm going.

Yeah, all right.

Cos how many geezers do you give a chance...to fucking get it right?

I gave him three or four.

I don't know if you're supposed to give them more than that.

But I never.

That's all you can give someone.

Don't even really expect to give anyone one chance

and I don't want no one expect to give me one chance.

(CHEERING)

Listen...

Listen, for fuck's sake...

I'm sick of making speeches all the time.

Every time I come to a gig I got to make a speech about fucking fighting.

Every fucking time.

Do you know what I think?

Without the dude and his fucking speeches I fucking think,

"Oh, he don't mean it. He's only doing it cos it makes him look bigger."

Know what I mean?

I don't wanna fucking keep saying, "Stop fighting, stop fighting."

Just fucking enjoy yourselves for a change.

(CHEERING)

If you come in the pub as an individual and you said,

"what the fuck are you trying to have... achieved by this?"

then I have to explain it to you.

And then another geezer comes in the pub and I have to explain it to him.

And then another geezer.

But if I get on the stage...

then I'm telling all of them at the same time.

Listen...

if you don't fucking enjoy this after this song we're fucking off.

This ones called "Borstal Breakout".

I'm really into it and I'm into the punk rock scene and they moved me.

They made me shake more than I've ever shook before

and that's what makes them the best.

What did they sing?

What did they sing? who cares what they're singing? They're singing... who cares?

Who fucking cares. Get outta here.

What did they sing?

It isn't what they sing. Get outta here.

What did they sing?

Get outta here.

Get out.

I don't want to mess your cameras up. I don't want any trouble.

Get the fuck outta here.

You guys going in? Are you going in?

Standing in the street.

- What? - Standing in the street.

I'm not going in there, no.

- You not going in? - No.

- You go across the street? - what's wrong with standing here?

Man, you can't stand here. I'll get the law on you if you're not going in.

Just don't do that. Get off of me.

Means that you get hurt bad.

Nobody hurt me, just a fucking Texas patrolman took me

and threw me out the door because I was hanging around.

I was born in Texas and I know Texas

and they throw you out the door because they've afraid of you.

And they have the authority cos they have a badge

and they have a fucking billy club and a gun.

What's it all about? It's about this.

It's about fucking having a good time.

They're just so afraid of you they gotta injure you.

That's why punks carry chains, because people are constantly hassling you

What are you gonna do tonight?

I have no clue. I don't care.

I do care but, you know, you can't care.

You can't care at all because if you care you'll get let down.

I think it's fun.

Do you want your ears ploughed out some more?

I told them. I said watch. You watch.

The first thing he's going to say, "what am I doing here?" Right?

And the band had so many problems at the moment.

And like that's the first thing he said.

Fucking hell, I'm sweating in this shirt.

Stand up. I'll help you take it off.

Excuse us a second.

You just have to bear with us. I hope you're not really mad.

Oh, nothing on under it.

Huh?

I just said I got nothing on under it.

An interview with Sid and Nancy.

Good. Sid and Nancy at home.

Nobody look.

God, I'm sweaty.

I've been with Sid ever since the first day I got to England.

We were partners in crime.

We have good fun.

We help each other out.

You know?

OK, fire away. Next question.

Sid would have died 15 deaths if I hadn't been around.

That's just, you know, the way he is.

This is what he does when he's not with me.

It's shit when people say that he can't play, because he can.

He learned all the Pistols songs in two weeks

and it just made him wanna work all the more.

Hey, d' you wanna make a porn movie?

Give us £100.

We made one for Sex Pistols Number Three in Huddersfield.

- Yeah? - Can I have a ciggie?

Yeah. Real good fun.

It was quite fun. On a dirty floor with a Never Mind the Bollocks poster under us.

It was great. It was one of those.

What were you doing? Screwing?

Fucking and being dom and submissive.

Sid licking my feet.

Oh, no! Sid!

What?

What?

Oh.

Not even on the seam neither.

JOHNNY: Ah! Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

We're the best band in the fucking world!

I was elected. My majority was 10,000

and that does give me not only a duty to do certain things.

It gives me the right to do certain things as well

and the punk rock scene better understand it.

Because I represent the status quo.

I represent perpetuity.

I represent orthodox government.

I represent the democratic elective process.

They represent none of those things and that is why I

and those whom I represent will win.

Because they can't beat us, and they're not going to beat us.

It's as simple as that.

It's not an arrogant statement. It's just a statement of fact.

Despite all the hassles, what was it you thought the Pistols were trying to do?

Was it just really kick the establishment up the arse?

(HE SNORES)

Sid?

Ow!

What the fuck?

Sid! Damn you!

Fuck!

Yeah.

I'm sorry.

You know I can't help it.

- That's the eighth time... - I'm just so tired.

...you've spilled a cigarette on me, spilled coffee on me,

spilled orange juice on me.

What was the next question?

What was the next question again?

Don't drop it on me again.

Sit over here.

What was the question?

What are you going to do today?

Go home, try and get a bunk up, then go to bed.

- What are you going to try and do? - Get a bunk up.

What's that?

A shag. A fuck.

Where?

Over the disco.

Where I always go.

If you don't you go to bed...

...and wait to try for tomorrow.

I don't know what I want to do.
