This incandescent UK punk group came together under the aegis of entrepreneur Malcolm McLaren during the summer of 1975. Periodically known as the Swankers, with lead vocalist Wally Nightingale, they soon metamorphosed into the Sex Pistols. With a line-up comprising: Steve Jones(guitar), Paul Cook (drums), Glen Matlock (bass) and Johnny Rotten (vocals). The group signed to EMI Records which released their first single, 'Anarchy In The UK'. From Rotten's sneering laugh at the opening of the song to the final seconds of feedback, it was a riveting debut. Soon afterwards, the group was dropped from EMI in a blaze of publicity. By February 1977, Matlock was replaced by punk caricature Sid Vicious. The following month, the group was signed to A&M Records outsi More... (Submit New Sex Pistols Lyrics) (Submit New Sex Pistols Lyrics) Review about Sex Pistols Not Anti-Semetic | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Belsen Was A Gas performed by Sex Pistols I dont believe this is supporting the Nazi ideas. It says Be a man kill someone kill yourself be a man. that sounds like they were saying if you are going to kell someone kill yourself. Life is fun and i wish you were here. That is what some Jews were forced to right so that the Nazis could get their famalies easier. BELSEN WAS A GAS ??? FUCKING RIGHT IT WAS !! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Belsen Was A Gas performed by Sex Pistols My God - you sad sad bastards !! I take it that everyone so far is an American ??? Why are you trying to disect this song ?? It is EXACTLY what it says - BELSEN WAS A GAS !! John Lydon fucking HATED it - but Maclaren wanted shock. YES It IS ANTI JEW - it does SLAG OFF the camps. it says " FUCK YOU " to everybody - they are not proud of it now but at the time it was what was needed to get publicity. Flowers of Romance | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Belsen Was A Gas performed by Sex Pistols Apparently this song was written by the Flowers of Romance, Vicious' band before the Pistols. Sid himself is reported to have been involved in writing this song. Despite wearing a swastika, which is in itself either a very cruel or very ignorant thing to do, Sid was most likely not anti-semitic, seeing his long-time girlfriend Nancy Spungen was herself an American Jew. Sid also once said in an interview that everything would be OK when there were "no more whites or blacks,' giving the impression that he was not racist. Vicious' wearing of the swastika was probably done as a thoughtless sand insensitive shock statement, but probably not out of any intention to cause hurt to Jewish people. Apparently, not the brightest of sparks, old Sid . . . Sub"marine"mission | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Submission performed by Sex Pistols For all of you that thought this was going to be a song about BDSM before you read the lyrics, well, thats what they thought it would be about before they wrote them. Watching a documentary the other day on the album, band members spoke about it being based on BDSM but somewhere along the line someone went "hmmm" (to put it politely) and, in gest I guess, it turned into "Submarine Mission" - Sub Mission - and hence. Can't remember the exact details of course but is it really necessary? I rather love this one... cruel ! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Belsen Was A Gas performed by Sex Pistols It could be either a really sucky joke or real anti-semitic 'cause I think "belsen" comes from bergen-belsen a concentration camp where many Jews died and pictures reveal the dead bodys pealed in masses , horrible , you don't believe me , google it " belsen" oh almost forgot there were gas chambers in this concentration camp so " belsen was a gas " SEXXY SEX PISTOLS | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song God Save The Queen performed by Sex Pistols the fact of the matter is taht the Sex pistols weren't once of those bands that were like..Yeah wats that??.Skatboarding is popular..lets write a song about that..They wrote songs from the heeart they stuck it to the man and thats true rock..Let the legend of sid and johnny live on..:D Its Up To You | Reviewer: Lewww ------ About the song Belsen Was A Gas performed by Sex Pistols Basically.. This is the bets sex pistols song.. Jonny came from a multi-national area of Finsbury Park, so i doubt its against Jewish people, its the sex pistols for god sake.. of course they´re gonna be outragous. Listen to religion by public image... its basically the same, just against Jesus Christ. If you dont like the song then don´t bother listening to it, its all up to you. Arrrrr! | Reviewer: John ------ About the song Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle performed by Sex Pistols One of my favorite songs of all-time by anybody, even without Rotten it's kick-ass, perfect that the Pistols went out like PIRATES, all the various voices are great fun and it shows again that musically, anyway, Jones & Cook were as vital as Rotten - for sheer power the Pistols blew everybody else away...and this is just great FUN Arrrrr! | Reviewer: John ------ About the song Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle performed by Sex Pistols One of my favorite songs of all-time by anybody, even without Rotten it's kick-ass, perfect that the Pistols went out like PIRATES, all the various voices are great fun and it shows again that musically, anyway, Jones & Cook were as vital as Rotten - for sheer power the Pistols blew everybody else away...and this is just great FUN Completing the song. | Reviewer: Matthew McMillan ------ About the song The Great Rock N Roll Swindle performed by Sex Pistols I want the last verses rapped by one of the guest vocalists at the end. Rod Stewarts got a luggage label attached to his tonsils Paul Cook hamburgers etc etc . I just want to complete the song like I managed to do for "Friggin In The Riggin " after all these years on a site like this!! Cheers. Sex Pistols live forever..! | Reviewer: sanne ------ About artist/band Sex Pistols i agree with all the comments here. i live in Holland but i luv them..they're great! never saw them life {cause im only 13} wich is a shame, but they rule on cd's, dvd's & internet. such a shame Sid Vicious died young. he was awesome. x Sanne You're gonna give yourself a coniption | Reviewer: Bozo impersonator ------ About the song Who Killed Bambi performed by Sex Pistols This is actually Edward Tudorpole AKA Tenpole Tudor... the would-be successor to Johnny Rotten's old spot as mouth for the Pistols. This song is best enjoyed while watching Mr. Tudorpole's spastic performance in the Great Rock 'n Roll Swindle. The real message ... | Reviewer: Kenny ------ About the song Belsen Was A Gas performed by Sex Pistols I believe the real irony comes into play when you consider that the nazis used to play adverts for belson, calling it a paradise for jews who wish to leave Germany, and NOT be harmed. This song, I believe, is referencing those broadcasts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belsen_Was_a_Gas One of the Great Rock Songs of All Time | Reviewer: Mickey Dean ------ About the song God Save The Queen performed by Sex Pistols The great Rock N Roll swindle was the press convincing as many people as possible that the Sex Pistols were an untalented publicity stunt whereas now many people who have actually listened to their album are finding out they were amazing. John Lydon was recently asked in a magazine interview what would be the legacy of the Sex Pistols; without hesitation he said: "Our Album". When it's as good as Never Mind The Bollocks one is all you need. Jonny Rotten | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song God Save The Queen performed by Sex Pistols "you don't right a song like god save the queen cause you hate the english race you right it because you love 'em and you're fed up with them being mistreated" - Jonny Rotten lushhh! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Belsen Was A Gas performed by Sex Pistols i love this song so much but i don't find it anti- semitism but i guess i can't talk coz im not jewish! i thought of wearing a swastika once (just for shock value mind) but after learning about the holocaust i felt like a shit for even thinking about wearing one! anyway love this song so much! and if you think it is anti-semitic then don't listen to it simple! Punk | Reviewer: blackmanok ------ About the song God Save The Queen performed by Sex Pistols the sex pistols really was the embodiment of what punk was all about i love this band! and this song! Shocking, yes. Anti-semitic, no. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Belsen Was A Gas performed by Sex Pistols Even though Sid Vicious insisted on wearing a swastika t-shirt (for the shock value, combined with his own ignorance I suppose) I don't think that anti-semitism is what the Sex Pistols were going for here. The song is laced with sarcasm and irony - the Belsen was a "gas" pun, for example, along with the juxtaposition of mass graves and postcards with the message "Life is fun". The last lines of the song really says it all: "Be someone, kill someone, be a man kill yourself" - suggesting that the Nazis would have done the world a favor by simply offing themselves in the first place. NOT the Sex Pistols! | Reviewer: Zorba W. ------ About the song Punk Rock Christmas performed by Sex Pistols Where did you get the idea this is the Pistols? This is by the Ravers (later known as the Nails), an American band from Colorado. Singer sounds nothing like Johnny Rotten. Song is not cruel | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Belsen Was A Gas performed by Sex Pistols This song may seem like it is anti-semeic but realy it is just black humer. Everybody knows that brits tell stupid horiible jokes, this is just one of them. I have many jewish friends who do not find this song ant-semitic at all. On of them thinks this is the best sex pistols song. Anyone who boycotts this songis missing out. ---buy the ticket, take the ride--- You could review the artist/band Sex Pistols in Biography page You could review Sex Pistols album by visiting Albums page and selecting an album You could review Sex Pistols song by clicking the song which you like  Download "Sex Pistols" Music | | ||||||||||
