Sid spit on the fruit plate and signed my earth shoe that night…remember those ugly footwear?

Signed Steve’s drum bag too.

Didn’t seem such a bad sort, but he had only been here a day.

When you go to an ACDC concert back in the 70s you would soon realize you were watching the Angus Young talent show. The guys incredible and being impressed by his jamming just made the band entirely. I feel the same way about the sex pistols. Steve Jones just roaring on that guitar like only he could. Awesome hooks. The guitar work was primo even though most Karen Carpenter fans thought it was too noisy or something. Ridiculous. Steve rocked it and hes the sex pistol with whom nobody knows his name. It was his band.. his groove.. his talent. STEVE JONES PEOPLE.

In October of ‘82 a good friend of mine gave me the Pistols opening show in Atlanta on tape..dreadful sound but I still have it.

Trying to track down the remaining tour has has been difficult

Any thing from the Taco Bell in Memphis?

I was old enough- sort of, to go to Wtock. And live in Athens in 77-8. The gig at SE Music Hall for the Pistols was totally great. I had a ticket. I got near stage. All was swell. But for the rain. All this Hulla-ballu about was it good or not etc. CRAP! I think the fact they played a shopping mall is totally Like Andy Warhols 99 cents thing. I saw them insire of music fans that night. Coming from the CBGBS world of NYC, I can say I was in the right place at the right time. A wonderful ni. But we had to drive all the way back to Athens in the rain. A small price to pay or a few hours of history! Rock the F on man, Curtis Knapp

The opening act for the Atlanta Great Southeast Music Hall show was Cruis-O-Matic and the band is still active today. In fact I drum for them and original member Edward Tanner is still on lead guitar and vocals for the band. Now that the show is 30 years past, Edward (an attorney today) is still being interview about the event. In fact the AJC just did a piece this week. I wasn’t that aware of the Punk scene back then, but find in interesting that the Pistols’ US tour is still a big deal among music journalists and fans. Edward mentions the event in the History section of cruis-o-matic.com if anyone is interested.

maclaren was as you americans say an asshole,he attemted to indoctrinate the lads but failed miserably with lydon who to this day still shows us how stupid maclaren really was and is. i saw the pistols live a few times in their very early gigs in the uk,they definately redefined the music industry. sid was a great advert for punk but unfortunately met up with nauseating nancy and became a waster like her. glad to see that real punk is still being listened to over the water, the so called new punk that you guys churn out over there now is complete rubbish even your old school bands didnt have a patch on our punk as ours was all about the times, places and attitudes of a forgotten youth left with no jobs and no futures.
