Anybody here see the Sex Pistols series 'Pistol'? I wasn't expecting a great deal but two shows in,I'm hooked. I suppose they were the complete opposite to what 1975 ELO was and what they believed in but I've always liked the punk ethic. If I was 2 years older I think I may have gone down the punk route! This is the story of the Pistols through the eyes of Steve Jones (it's based on his memoirs) and tells the story of their roots and early gigs, the troubles and fights that they had to put up with in mid 70s England.

I haven't seen Pistol, but Danny Boyle directed it and I usually appreciate his work. I'll have to check it out.

I was the same as you Timeblue and was slightly too young to fully go down the punk route, but as my brother is two years older than me I went with him to see bands like The Dickies, The Ramones, Splodgenessabounds, Chelsea and The Rezillos, which is why I now have tinnitus!!

WOW! You saw The Ramones! I've not watch this yet. But I did read from someone in their 20's, who's take away was that The Ramones were proof that you don't need talent to make it.

I have, I’ve still got most of the tickets from the concerts I went to from 1979 onwards, except ones from Birmingham University as no tickets were issued they just stamped your hand. This is a shame as I was too drunk to remember many of the bands I saw Sat 11th October 1980- The Ramones, Odeon Birmingham And Sun 25th October 1987- The Ramones, Hummingbird Birmingham The 1980 gig must have been amazing It was, if you have the It’s Alive album it was just like that, people were diving from the balcony onto the crowd below, crowd surfing and then climbing back up the balcony.
