Credited with starting the underground music scene in the United Kingdom, The Sex Pistols released many amazing songs during their brief career. However, their blatant disregard for the establishment left a lasting impression and helped amass a following. Since the group defied social norms, they didn’t meet much radio success.

McLauren tried to keep the band going but met opposition from Cook and Jones. However, it lasted two weeks when Rotten left the band after the San Franciso Winterland Ballroom show. The group released one studio album, Never Mind The Bollocks Here’s The Sex Pistols, and began a United States tour in 1977. The official reason given was that Glen Matlock ‘Liste. In a nutshell, it appears as if he was fired for exactly the opposite reason Sid Vicious was hired to take his place Glen didn’t look the part, Sid did.

As far as the pistols go, and what they stood for, then Punks NOT dead, sadly, what's come after, epspecially in the last 5 or 6 years then it's just limp commercial nonsense.Sex Pistols started in London, England, in 1975.
New bands still can't get it right, 30 years later, all a bunch of MTV wannabe's. Great to see the lads back! Can't wait for the Glasgow gig! They might be over 50, but they, especially Johnny, still speak the truth and the music is the greatest ever. Shame really but I'd advise anyone considering seeing them to save their money and just put on Never Mind The Bollocks instead. Really disppointed - crap sound, no atmosphere and Lydon just got on my nerves after a bit. Went to Pistols at Academy last night: Worst.

No one has held a candle to them since they came on the scene in 76. I was near the front, and it was like being on the front line. I went to the friday and saturday concerts. Johnny just loves his tartan! As always he`s lapping up publicity.Paul Cook is a stunning drummer.Glen Matlock,strumming those chords,and Steve Jones rockin'the night away!! The acoustics at the Brixton Academy may not guarantee easy listening at the best of times, but Paul Cook's thumping drums and Glen Matlock's skilful bass at least provide a steady rhythm for pogoing. He wore a pheasant shooting outfit, which caused him several wardrobe malfunctions when his trousers kept slipping down, and the patriotic war-time song There'll Always Be An England blasted over the speakers before the set began. Sporting his trademark spiky orange hair, the performer best known as Johnny Rotten wasted no time poking fun at the British establishment. "Half a century young!" a defiant lead singer John Lydon shouted to thousands of fans at the packed venue.
