eh. they were everything punk is against. they were assembled by a man, and didnt learn to play music until afterwards. because he wanted to promote his store.
it amuses me that a "punk" band can be so corporate. they were basically a boy band.
but if someone likes that sort of thing, then to each his own.

Shit, I didn't even realize... damn. Thanks for the photos. ;)

[onefootinfront.livejournal.com]

Sid fucking sucked. but man, i loved the old Johnny Rotten. even with his nasty ol' teeth, he was a fox. and even this many years later, their music still kicks fucking ass.

Amen.

[hellodoctor.livejournal.com]

ANARKCHY FLAEMWARR!!!!1!11!1

ahahaha! oh man. i've never heard someone imply that the sex pistols were not punk, just corporate whores... but actually... if they were corporate whores... that would only make me love them even more. think about it.

they'd have fooled us all, huh?

xx

[fishnetaubrey.livejournal.com]

oh, people are just ridiculous. i can't count the number of times i've gotten into the sex-pistols-as-corporate-whores debate. i can see every side of it. yeh, they were created by a man with a vision; they were created as advertisement for a fucking clothing store. but actually, the claim that they didn't learn to play their instruments until later is unfounded. sid couldn't play a fucking chord to save his life when he first joined, but then, he wasn't in the original sex pistols crew. johnny and the rest all played their instruments. maybe not well, but they knew how to play. and the fact is, if malcolm mclaren hadn't taken control of the band, they never would've made it anywhere. and i think it's safe to say that the world, for me at least, would've been a sadder place sans the sex pistols. so fuck the eternal debate. they were punk as fuck and reached a better audience than anyone else and before then, no one'd had the balls to even try.

[poseurbunny.livejournal.com]

man.
personally, i very much lika the post.
saw the sex pistols this summer. rocked more than your mom did in bed.
mr rotten had to look at the lyrics. which was tres amusing. then i got kicked out and hung out with a kid with a mullet.

[waffleghost.livejournal.com]

Har har har. Those pictures always make me smile. Their expressions just kill me.

And oh enough "punk rock" banter. It was Malcolm McLaren that wrecked everything, not the band itself. But nevermind all that. Just enjoy the face poking!

[missalexia.livejournal.com]

Uhh... Sex Pistols touching rocks! RIP

Would ya believe it's my birthday? My friends read the cover article in NME the other week and have started calling me Sid.
