is that the updated version? what's in it that's extra - had the first edition of it, was very interesting
Pistols were great, always preferred the clash though. As for the Rude Boy footage, pretty sure its Victoria Park, Hackney. some Rock against Racism thingy!

Well.... 
Lydon was the real thing. He still is.
True....
But still, The Clash was the real thing, the Sex Pistols were the Malcolm McLaren posers, not even a full band really, what with a bassist who had to turn his back to the audience so they couldn't see that he had NO idea how to play that bass.
And as far as music, there's really no comparison, The Clash win hands down.
The Pistols are posers eh?
You need to read up on your history.
Maclcom McLaren tried to protray himself as the Svengali of the Pistols. he was not. You need to watch the Filth and the Fury and get your facts straight.
The Sex Pistols were four WORKING CLASS guys who got together and basically started the British Punk movement (In America Punk was aleady happening).
The Clash formed as a RESULT of watching the Sex Pistols. So did Joy Division, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Buzzcocks, and tons of other bands.
The Clash were a bunch of middle class posers. Paul Simonon was a midle class art school kid. Joe Strummer was the worst.
Joe Strummer was a rich kid, the son of a foreign diplomat. He spoke with a cockney accent so he could sound more working class. What a load of shit. Middle Class Joe didnt understand that pooor working class people and be intelligent, articulate, and even poetic. John Lydons theatrical delivery and excellent diction must have really confused him. John Lydon was the son of poor Irish immigrants.
Oh yeah...and the Pistols bass player not being able to play...
Surely you aren't talking about Glen Matlock? The founding bass player of the Pistols, the guy who played with them for two years and wrote the majority of the music for songs with Lydon? Who has gone on to make some really good solo records and has played with Iggy Pop? Not THAT guy, right? He couldnt play?
Because, you know, Sid was only in the Pistols for thier last 9 months of existance, and he didnt even play on thier album. The reason Sid is well known is because of the film Sid and Nancy and McLarens bullshit filled fake documentary the Great Rock and Roll Swindle. And if those are your information sources, then you don't know what you are talking about.
As Lydon once said: "Sid was nothing more than a coat hanger to fill an empty space onstage. " And he was right.
And plus, in terms of experimentation and ambition. Lydon and PIL surpassed anything that the Clash did.
The same year the Clash released thier retro "rock and Roll" album London Calling, Lydon and PIL were paving the way to the future with Metal Box.

Well, I will admit that I haven't studied either band.

No, you know which guy I meant...

Perhaps. It's all a matter of opinion, I think, comparing PiL and The Clash. But comparing The Clash and Sex Pistols (which was your original premise)? There's no comparison. It's The Clash, hands down.
Well I look at it this way.
Musically, and in terms of writing catchy songs, the CLash were better than the pistols.
When it comes to vocals and lyric writing, John Lydon beats Strummer every time.
But both bands are pretty awesome.
Metal Box is a lot more groundreaking and exciting than London Calling.
But London Calling is a great record with some awesome songs. Complete Control being my favorite.
I like both bands. I've met both John Lydon and Joe Strummer. Both of them were very nice, ace guys.
