first, for those of you who have no understanding of punk, know that the pistols and other early punk bands were about live performance, not recordings. having said that, given that their career as a band was short-lived, try this album to grok what they were about.

the truth is these songs sound almost innocent compared to the headache rock, death & speedmetal, goth and other punk spinoffs that have sprouted since. musically the songs are simple and great rock n roll. lydon was an acidic, brilliant lyricist, as good as punk ever had, and his raw on-edge "singing" is as good as any punk vocalist ever.

This is perhaps more McLaren's album than that of the Sex Pistols. It’s a mess, it’s in bad taste, but at least it's an interesting mess. The God Save The Queen Symphony with vocals by McLaren is truly strange. The French version of Anarchy by one Jerzimy accompanied by an accordian is poignant but bizarre, while the two version of Einmal war Belsen Vortefflich (the second with vocals by Ronnie Biggs, are beyond redemption. The famous My Way a la Sid Vicious has a certain tragic charm and does not seem out of place amid all the weirdness. The orchestral version of EMI with vocal by Steve Jones is quite impressive with its sinister lyrics, while Friggin’ in the Riggin , sung by Steve Jones is crude and vulgar. This is followed by the entirely pointless You Need Hands by Malcolm McLaren. The album concludes with Tenpole Tudor's messy but at least enthusiastic Who Killed Bambi. Bearing in mind that this is a soundtrack and that the group had already split up at its release, it's still probably one of the worst second albums in history. Whereas the first album mocked the establishment and the music business, this one mocked the Sex Pistols themselves. It's a very interesting piece of rock ‘n roll history but not a great listening experience.

God Save The Queen (2002 CD Single)</span>

1. God Save The Queen
2. God Save The Queen (Neil Barnes Remix - 12" Version)
3. God Save The Queen (Neil Barnes Remix - Radio Edit)

and here are the sex pistols here to personally ruin the jubilee for everyone, fantastic! this release really expressed the generation's feeling towards the royals back in 1977, clearing a way for people to go "wait a sec, what has the queen ever done for me!" and to speak their mind.
Theres nothing different about this re-release and it isn't as shocking as it was 25 years ago but its got the energy for a generation to speak out. so if you think bands like blink 182 and new found glory are punk, listen to the pistols and hear real punk! all round a fantastic punk song and one of the most influential records ever!</span>
