“I think in that context, when a generation of kids is that ignorant of their recent history, it does a good job of showing what the Pistols were standing for. It's current and it's in the air, partly because I think nothing contemporary is as extreme or as strongly stated as what The Sex Pistols were able to do in their time, in the '70s. I think the reason to [make the film] is that their ideas are still alive: the defense of the right to be an individual, and questioning everything you read, and questioning all the information that's bombarded increasingly at you.” ThinkingDoeStillsIdeasReasonKidsAbleJobsFilmIndividualSexAliveGenerationsAirInformationStandingCurrentsExtremesDefenseIgnorantContemporaryQuestioningGood JobPistolsBombardedSex PistolsQuestioning Everything Author:Julien Temple

“Sometimes the road was only a lane, with thick hawthorne hedges, and the green elms overhung it on either side so that when you looked up there was only a strip of blue sky between. And as you rode along in the warm, keen air you had a sensation that the world was standing still and life would last forever.

“The second show [Judas Priest] there was a point where I stood back. We had a 40-foot ramp that went out into the crowd. Rob came out on the bike. It was raining. He drove the bike to the end of the ramp. I'm standing there looking at him. Rain coming down. Lights flashing. Blue smoke everywhere from the bike. He's on the bike with his metal horns in the air, and there were 30,000 people in front of him screaming. I remember thinking, "This is real."” PeopleThinkingRealEndsShowsLightRememberAirFeetFrontsRainStandingBlueCrowdsSmokePriestsMetalsBikeHornsStanding ThereJudasRampJudas Priest Author:Richie Faulkner
