SEX PISTOLS NERIKES ALLEHANDA JUNE 28 1996


This is swedish newspaper Nerikes Allehanda's review of the Sex Pistols Stockholm June 26 1996 gig. It was published on June 28. The main head line basically means: Throwing kisses instead of spitting, which is a reference to what John did on stage.

It's pretty much standard journalism with an opening calling the whole thing a display of tastelessness. Writer Johan Hedberg refers to the band members as ''four of the world's most pathetic has-beens''. He then goes on about John being fat and Steve looking like an old over-the-hill football hooligan. There's more negativities about the band's songs, clothes and age, except he likes Glen's look. The worst part is were he says that the Sex Pistols aren't punk compared to Green Day, Rancid or Millencolin. In the last bit he admits that five of the songs are classics and that they did a good version of Anarchy In The UK. He also states that they gave the audience a good show.

None of the support bands are mentioned.

I'm always looking for good info on the SEX PISTOLS' gigs in Scandinavia. E-MAIL me if you've got it. Especially those of you who saw them in 1977 and/or have any old pictures, news cuttings or other things of interest.
