Πρόβα των Sex Pistols, από το “μεταθανάτιο” νοκιμαντέρ – άλμπουμ The Great Rock’n’Roll Swindle.
Από το “Johnny B. Goode” του Chuck Berry, το οποίο ο Johnny διακόπτει γιατί “το μισεί”, στο “Roadrunner” του Jonathan Richman, του οποίου όπως διαπιστώνει “δεν ξέρει τα λόγια”.
Αυτό δεν εμποδίζει το συγκεκριμένο track να είναι, με τον δικό του τρόπο, συναρπαστικό.
Sex Pistols rehearsal, from the “posthumous” documentary – album The Great Rock’n’ Roll Swindle.
From Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B Goode”, which Johnny stops because “he hates it”, to Jonathan Richman’s “Roadrunner”, whose words, as he finds out, he doesn’t know.
This does not prevent the track from being fascinating.

Well, that was shambolic. Have you ever seen an interview with Johnny Rotten? He has to be one of the funniest people on the planet. He takes sarcasm and insult to a high art.
Well, he used to be my idol when I was in my teens, I know [almost] everything about him, including his recent [2017] support for Trump!
He really supported Trump?!?!
Oh yes he did. And I fully agreed with him at the time.

I’ll let that one pass.
That was a great performance. I never liked Johnnie B Goode much, but it’s really quite good with nonsense blabbering for the lyrics. I thought the Roadrunner song turned out really well.
Indeed! These guys weren’t “virtuosos” but they surely knew how to deliver the goods!
LOLOL! OMG! This is funny! What a unique happening these guys were. Sounds good, and lots of fun.
“Fun” is definitely the word!
