Well, with Matlock they would have been too good, and their sound would have been different, the godawful lack of talent that was Sid Vicious gave the band some ballance.

And i dont care what you say, Jones and Cook were not bad musicians, not great, but far from bad, they were the soul of the band, and Rotten brought the attitude.

Vicious was just their mascot, so to speak.

the riffs arent interesting
his voice sucks
the lyrics are bland
the drums are average

LMFAO.

Must just be me, what kind of lyrics do you prefer?

the drums are average

Imagine if Neil Peart f*cking drummed for every band in existence, how boring that would be.

oh, and, they only released like 2 albums of material

Because they broke up rather quickly.

And no, quantity isn't very important, ask Journey.

i forgot, guitar and bass playing the same thing makes a real thick sound

Knocked out in bed last night
I´ve had my fill, my share of looting
And now, the tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think, i killed a cat
And may i say, oh no, not their way
But no, no, not me
I did it my way
...i see what you mean now, that was deep, lmao

there's nothing wrong with releasing just 2 albums, hell, days of the new released 3 and theyre awesome, but the difference is that travis meeks is actually an interesting musician, i noticed you didnt argue that point of mine, i know the pistols are really boring
i dont feel anything when i hear sex pistols, you say that's what's so great about rage, how they make you feel, well that's what's so horrible about the pistols theyre boring and give me nothing

That's one of the things about them that i like the most.

Lyrics aren't f*cking everything, you might as well scewer The Ramones while you are at it.

Dispite popular belief, punk was much more about Nihilism than trying to be deep, Sex Pistols never tried to be deep, why criticize them for not being deep?... It makes no sense.

There is no know buddy, it's completely subjective.

i dont feel anything when i hear sex pistols, you say that's what's so great about rage, how they make you feel, well that's what's so horrible about the pistols theyre boring and give me nothing

Well thats your problem, thats no reason to knock people who get a different experience from the music.

I enjoy The Pistols's music a lot, same with Rage, i get similar feelings when listening to either of them.

Though i do like Rage more.

i wasnt trying to pick out their lyrics as being particulary bad, they arent good is all and i was trying to say that there is nothing, absolutely nothing that i like about this band, i can tolerate a lot, that's actually the basis of my tastes people forcing what they like into me, and i sit there complacent picking out that one thing i like, but the pistols give me nothing.

feelings are why bands are overrated. feelings let you see what other people dont, and feelings arent based on talent just what sounds f-cking good. because you say you like the pistols because the feeling you get, i dont get that feeling, so what's left for me, they arent the kind of band you warm up to most people ive talked to either like em or dont, there isnt much gray.


this whole thread is subjective.

I was just somewhat diverted by your comments about technical skill, i figured you for some "technical skill" freak like Don.
