Would love to see more Jonny Rotten dvds
Read the other reviews. The dvd is great..... My reason for posting this review is actually hoping my request, for future dvd's, will fall in the right place..... How about VH1's short lived show called "Rotten TV" hosted by Jonny Rotten..... And I even saw Jonny Rotten on an episode of "Judge Judy"..... yes.... THE Judge Judy.... and the old lady took Jonny Rotten's side, when a sit-in drummer was trying to sue him..... These shows would be great to see on dvd.

We mean it, maan
If you are a pistols fan or just curious about one of the most influential bands ever, then this DVD is not to be missed. Packed full of interviews, concert footage and other goodies (my favorite is 'play in a day the Steve Jones way'), this disc is full of surprises.
No surprise, though, that the pistols were, in fact, good musicians, often imitated, much maligned. The engineers Chris Thomas and Bill Price digging into how they mixed NMTB is fascinating if you've ever worn out a copy of that great, great album. The pistols were a fantastic accident and this DVD gives you a glimpse into their genius. Yep, genius.

God save the Sex Pistols!
This is a fantastic DVD for any longtime fan of the SEX PISTOLS, anyone curious about the beginnings of English "punk" or anyone just passionate about rock music. We are treated to candid and relaxed interviews with the important characters involved in bringing this great album to life.

I think this makes a great companion documentary to THE FILTH AND THE FURY; a fine documentary, kind of using the anti-gloss, cut-up approach for highlighting the influences, the rise, the fall and impact of the SEX PISTOLS. For me, NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS has never grown old, the music brilliantly simple. In addition, knowing the history of the band, it makes the music that much richer. On this documentary - John Lydon speaks fondly to the comic, almost camp feel at the heart of this album. Steve Jones laments that if they hadn't kicked Glen out, if they didn't do the Bill Grundy show - there may have been more albums from the SEX PISTOLS.

The bonus material is simply stuff that was excised from the main event of this DVD, because it strays away from the subject of the album itself. It is possible this was originally aired as a series on television, and they had to trim everything for interest of time? Whatever the case, I wish they just presented it as a whole - all included. The bonus material can only be viewed section by section, and that can get tiring after a while. Not a major complaint, really.

I'm glad I bought this DVD; it provides a fresh view to a notoriously underrated band. I recommend it highly.
