Sex Pistols
The Sex Pistols were the face of punk rock as we know it. I have a love/hate relationship with them for inventing punk. Without Punks there would be no Goths. This in itslef is a crime, but then there is the sub-group of Goths. EMOs. Jones...
Just The Facts
- Sex Pistols were founded in Britain, 1975
- It was orignally comprised of Glenn (odd first name for punk rocker) Matlock, Paul Cook, Steve Jones and John "Johnyy Rotten" Lyndon
- They are fucking awesome (FACT)
Synopsis of the Pistols
According to my trusted friend, Professor Wik. E. Pedia, the Pistols are "responsible for initiating the Punk Rock movement in the UK" and "...are regarded as one of the most influential musical acts in history" and "Fucking badass". Oh, wait...The Pistols were basically a bunch of pissed off, angsty 20-year-old screaming about how government sucks. That was in 1976. They were 20-something then. It's 2009, thirty-three years later. They still do live preformances.
Oh. My. God.
Members
All the members, at least in thew good songs, are as follows
Sid Vicious, bassist, DEAD. Vicious (Whose real name was Simon John Ritchie. He got his nickname when he was bitten by Lyndon's pet lizard, Sid the Vicious. That's how he got his nickname. HOLY SHIT) was the icon of the Pistols and indeed of punk rock then and now. He also really liked heroin. Like, alot. He missed and interview for The Damned because he was sooooooo high. He died of an overdose. Of heroin. Did I mention the heroin thing?
FUCK YOU, HEROIN
Johnny Rotten: John Lyndon was...well, is....he's... just look at this picture 
No crazy here
Steve Jones was founder and semi-proprietor of the Sex Pistols. He played Lead Guitar. And he was awesome. And he was awesome.
Paul Cook is the drummer. His is, by far, the shortest Wikipedia article of the band, so I'll leave it at that. that and he looks kind of like a tard.
Kind of.
Okay just for the record it was The Stooges, not The Ramones who invented punk rock and The Sex Pistols weren't the first in anything, it was The Damned who kicked off British punk. Look it up.
ReplyRAMONES "invented" punk, not the pistols. I like the pistols, but they were not much of a band. They made one and a half albums. Their notoriety came from publicity stunts. The word Punk means a million things to a million different people (avril Livigne, what the fuck?), but looking at the bands that came after them ( as well as their influences)you can see how the Ramones are the real band worthy of your attention.
Replynope.. it's actually the Sex Pistols.. go ahead check your Encyclopedia :))
You must have that habit of surprising your partner in order to enjoy your sex life.
ReplyPretty sure it was a hamster... not a lizard. Also, I'd have mentioned everyone's favorite genius/asshole manager, Malcom McClarren. Otherwise... good!
ReplyIt's a shame that there is nothing said about our dearest Cookie XD
ReplySid was bitten by Johns hamster not lizard. The original sex pistol lineup was-- Vocals/Steve Jones - Guitar/Wally Nightingale - Bass/Glenn Matlock - Drums/Paul Cook. Go check out THE FILTH AND THE FURY. And Iggy Pop created it all in the 60s
ReplyYou really shouldn't use "I" in anything like this.
ReplyThe Pistols created the look. The Ramones created the sound.
Replyit doesn't really matter who created what. all that matters is that it happened.
ACTUALLY, it matters much! The Ramones invented the game,
