Sex Pistols - Holidays In The Sun


Band: Sex Pistols
Song: Holidays In The Sun
Album: Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols (1977)
Genre: Punk Rock

So I had an absolute blast last night.  My band opened for a super talented group, and we also covered a Motörhead song, which has been a bucket list item of mine for a while now.  It was a super great show, I hope to play with the band again in the future honestly.

I'm picking this song though (since I already shared Ace Of Spades a while ago and that's the song we covered) since the singer for the band we opened for and his girlfriend are dressing up a Sid and Nancy for their halloween show.  Made me think of these guys (obviously I suppose) and I realized I have hardly shared any of the music from the biggest 1 album band to exist (total speculation on my part).  So yeah, here it is, haha



You can follow me on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+, or even sponsor my podcast on Patreon. No big, do whatever. But yeah, Twitter and Facebook are where I’m most active.

A to Z Challenge: S is for Sex Pistols


Band: Sex Pistols
Genre:  Punk Rock

Everybody loves some good old anarchy, right?

Turns out that the Sex Pistols like anarchy so much they actually hired their bassist Sid Vicious based entirely on his anarchist attitude. Apparently one night he stayed up all night with a Ramone's album and a crap load of speed and learned apparently managed to figure it out. A quote I managed to find is that Sid went to Lemmy of Motörhead saying "I can't play bass," to which Lemmy replied "I know."  On their album Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols he only recorded bass on the song Bodies.  According to legend they didn't even plug him into an amp a lot of the time.

Musically though I really dig the low talent energy that this band has.  They just smash away at their instruments and politically rage away, ya know?  There's a huge level of fun to listening to bands that really aren't good at what they do, but they do it with full enthusiasm.

Hope you're enjoying the A to Z so far from my blog and the others, been a great time so far, right?
