Listening to Never Mind the Bollocks, ask me anything

[oustemnow]

but be quick, I'm already on "No Feelings"

[Fenris]

1. Her name was Pauline, she lived in a tree

Where was she from?

[oustemnow]

2. oh, come now

she was a girl from Birmingham

[BurtWorm]

3. What are your three favorite songs from that album?

Not to influence you, but mine are (in no particular order) Submission, Bodies, and Holiday in the Sun. Or is it Holidays?

[oustemnow]

5. ah, alright, if I have to choose

I'd say "Holidays in the Sun," "Pretty Vacant" and "Submission."

[BurtWorm]

7. Submission was the first song my first band and I covered.

I'm on a submarine mission for you, baby.

4. GOD SAVE THE QUEEN

Is one of the 10 greatest rock n roll songs of all time...I mean that.

Not sure where I'd rank the album, but it would also rank very high on the list (I would guess #1 punk all time and Top 25 all time)

6. You anarchist, you!!!! -nm

[jeter]

8. My band use to play Holidays in the Sun

When I was in a band anyway.

[Rowdyboy]

9. Wasn't Anarchy in the UK on that album?

I saw them in Memphis in 1977 (?). Hell, years sorta blended together back then.

[kwolf68]

10. Yes

Never Mind the Bollocks was the only album the Pistols ever released.

They self-destructed on their American tour in support of that album. They just bagged it one night...Soon thereafter the Sid and Nancy story and punk was basically dealt a death blow at that point being pushed further underground as corporate america tried to pass off new-wave as punk while real punkers at the time (Fear, Wasted Youth, Germs, Crime, Zeroes, Agent Orange, etc) were still plodging away at it.

12. "Ever get the feelimg you've been cheated?"

Jophnny's last words, as a Sex Pistol, until recently.

It was the Cow Palace, in the San Francisco area, where they called it quits.

[kwolf68]

15. Yep...I remember that

Rotten said he was saying that for himself and the band.

[oustemnow]

11. yes, indeed, it was

I saw them do a reunion show a couple of months ago, at the Greek in LA. It was kind of disappointing; Johnny told the crowd, "Make sure to yell a lot; it will disturb the rich people up in the hills!" Never mind that, at this point, he is one of the rich people up in the hills. And Steve Jones has bloated considerably.

[CanuckAmok]

13. Saw a movie recently...

...I can't remember what it was called, but it had two hitmen in it. About half way through the movie I realised the two hitmen were Steve Jones and (Duran Duran's) John Taylor.

Hmmm....

[NightTrain]

14. Did ya crank the volume up all the way?

If not, you cheated yourself out of the full experience!

[oustemnow]

16. yes indeed, NightTrain

it was up to 22!
