The Sex Pistols - Wikipedia: Fact or Fiction?

Kudos to the interviewer, he actually let Paul speak when he was talking unlike most talk shows now.

Out of the Pistols Paul Cook is the one that would the best to know in real life, he comes over as a total gent.

paul cook is a legend, nevermind the bollocks never gets old, such a perfect punk rock album, really a perfect rock n roll album!

I'm over 60 so I was a teen into jep, Sabbath, purple, basically 70's heavy metal and i remember hearing all these rumors of this abomination called punk rock, well one day I was listening to the radio and this totally bad ass guitar riff starting playing and I'm like really into it and then this guy starts singing"god save the queen", wennt out that day and bought the import copy of nmtb, over 40years later and it's still in regular rotation on my play list.

Cooky is one of the biggest underrated drummers of all time, listen carefully... he's amazing

[jayanxiety]

Mr. Cook was RIGHT about Adam Ant (then known as Stuart Goddard) being a member of Bazooka Joe! He quit the band when he realized that HE was the ONLY band member who actually enjoyed the Sex Pistols performance. This had a direct influence on him to adopt the Punk style and create the Adam Ant persona. True story

After Glen left, Steve and Paul were the musical backbone of that band. Perfect combination of attitude and musicianship.

Top interview, I really enjoyed it, flowed so well, Paul comes across as a straight up, down to earth guy

[djw]

At last, waaaay overdue. Pistols are my favourite punk band of all time

[larryschreiner]

This is actually quite a good format for an interview.

[anonb]

This is one of the best Sex Pistols interviews I've seen... most of the ones I've seen have been with Johnny Rotten, Malcolm MacLaren and a few with Glen Matlock. This makes a change. A lot of new stuff here.

Paul was/is a great drummer & rock solid behind the pistols! Him & Steve gave them their distinctive sound, complimented beautifully by the snarling JR & not forgetting the bass artistry of Glen!

[pellelidell]

My two cents: Cooky was a rock solid meat-and-potatoes drummer who had great groove. Steve Jones' guitar playing was latex tight and very rock'n roll. Exceptional guitar playing and guitar sound on "...Bollocks" (with the assistance of Chris Thomas and Bill Price). Glen Matlock's writing talent and bass playing was unquestionably brilliant (I was sad to see him go). John Lydon was the perfect frontman, equipped with provocative lyrics, unique vocals, clever one-liners and a cool look. Sid Vicious was...well, he couldn't play but was truly the perfect punkrock poster boy (and sadly a junkie). On July 28, 1977, the 15-year old version of me saw Sex Pistols live in my city Stockholm. I was gobsmacked...and it changed my life.

Wow, this has been quite a season of Fact or Fiction, thanks for this

[craigpatrick]

So Bowie had a part in the coming together of the band 😃

[Lucasrainford]

Love Paul Cook, the backbone of the Pistols, what a life he's had!

[pointnozzleaway]

always been a hardcore Pistols fan....Never knew Steve played Bass on the Bollocks album. Always thought it was Glenn ! well I learned something today !

"You've got to understand, we were very poor..."
Oh well then, case dismissed.
