The Sex Pistols

Posted on by

The Sex Pistols are routinely cited as one of the greatest bands in history, along with their debut (and only) album Never Mind the Bollocks… The truth is the Pistols had nothing to do with music or youth culture…. They were simply one of the greatest marketing operations of all time, whose rise to fame was made immensely easier by the shockingly backward state of 1977’s society…

If there’s one revolution the Pistols kickstarted, it was the idea that anything shocking – no matter how dumb, vacant, or closer to the lowest common denominator – is going to generate cash, and that’s the harvest we’re still reaping to this day with gems a-la Pete Doherty, Liam Gallagher, or even Jade Goody…. Get your name in the paper through whatever stunt or nonsense, look wasted, wear the right clothes and wag that oh-so-rebellious finger and half the job’s done…

Look at the publicity generated by one of the most stupid moments in the history of British telly, the Bill Grundy interview in which the affected young clowns make the presenter’s job stupidly easy. “Go on, you’ve got another ten seconds. Say something outrageous.” “You dirty bastard”. “Go on, again”. “You dirty facker! Worra facking rotta!”. If you’ve got a pet dog at home you may know exactly how it works…..

And then there was that swastika wearing, samckhead, psychotic prick, Sid Vicious… He was a proper cunt…

  3. Norman – spot on. I’m fed up of being told that punk “had to happen” and was “necessary”. Firstly, its main audience was teenagers, who are famously independent and critical in their aesthetic tastes. Secondly, it is almost exclusively shit and has not, shall we say, aged well. Thirdly, the performers were cunts to a man (and the rare woman). Mind you, I like the bit in God Save The Queen that goes “No future, no future”.

    • Couldn’t agree more… Not to mention all the hack cunts who have dined out on their association with punk for the last thirty odd years… Cunts like Julie Burchill, Tony Parsons, Caroline Coon and that total twat, Paul Morley…. These cunts and music publications like Mojo and Uncut make out that punk was great and it’s like some great lost era… It was mostly shit and they were dirty bastards, spitting all over the place…

  4. Agreed, the Pistols were utter shite. another thing that annoys me is these cunts who appear on some crap reality show and earn the title of “celebrity” overnight. To me a Celebrity is someone who has earned that by being a great actor, actress, singer etc, not some fucking talentless twat who gets lucky by appearing on a crap TV programme. But then I suppose our media are cunts as well for promoting this sort of cheap, easy to make TV crap, and also the stupid fucking public who watch this kind of shit. That cunt Pete Doherty was on telly a couple of weeks ago, the twat had a guitar on his lap. He’d apparently written a song about his football team so the presenter asked him to play a sing some of it. What a joke that was, some twanging of the guitar strings and him wailing away like a cat with a hot poker shoved up its arse. Mind you he was either pissed or drugged up to the eyeballs and looked like he hadn’t had a wash for weeks.

  5. Spot on, the whole Pistols project was created to sell Viviene Westwoods clothes. McLaren realised that a band having a unique fashion look will become huge. He cites the New York Dolls as his inspiration but I think he got the idea from closer to home, namely the Bay City Rollers. Dont laugh, it was their look which got them noticed. The Pistols were projected as the antithisis of this but in fact were the other side of the same marketing coin.

    • I agree with the Rollers thing… It was all about getting noticed… That’s why knobheads like Vicious and that Nazi cunt, Siouxsie Sioux, wore swastikas… Nothing to do with upsetting the ‘old guard’, it was about getting their ugly mugs in the papers and on TV… That said though, Siouxsie was a little fascist cunt… Wearing swastikas on both arms for over a year and going on about how there were ‘Too many Jews’ in Britain… Of course, none of these punk loving journo cunts are allowed to mention it to her now…

      McLaren also nicked Andrew Loog Oldham’s Stones blueprint… It was Andrew’s idea to market Jagger and the boys as the anti-Beatles: with all that ‘Would you let your daughter marry a Rolling Stone?’ type stuff… Oldham made the UK believe the Rolling Stones were uncouth, unkempt yobs… When in actual fact they were (except for Bill and Charlie) middle class boys form places like Dartford and Cheltenham… McLaren took this idea a step further and got the Pistols to act as obnoxious and as shitty as possible, with the oh so shocking swear words thrown in…. Not to mention kicking up a deliberate stink during the Silver Jubilee…. Thing is though, I don’t think John Lydon is a stupid man, but the other Pistols (especially Vicious) were as thick as pigshit… So they were like a gift to someone like McLaren really…

  6. “People said we couldn’t play, they called us foul mouthed yobs. But the only notes that really count are the ones that come in wads” Says it all……

  7. Always were cunts always are cunts and will always be cunts ,Nevermind the bollocks was never that good it had 5 really good songs 3 decent songs and 4 shite songs. Hell I like adam and the ants alot more, sex pistols weren’t that good and public image ltd. sucks.

      • Adam and the ants were pretty good considering the utter fucking shite that came out in the 80’s its easy to make fun of them because of their costumes. I think they were slagging off barry lyndon and pirates. Still pretty cool though the first two ant albums were ace but what confuses me is why was the title track Dirk Wears White Sox kept off the album DWWS?why would they get rid of the concept to the fucking album?. listen to it here https://youtu.be/_cGGiEo3qAc it was supposedly a demo that for some fucked up reason was kept off the album… weird I consider it one of the best songs they have probably done it should have opened the album with it.

      • ‘Dirk’ was left off because it was about Dirk Bogarde in the film The Night Porter, and although the Ants weren’t Nazis, there was loads of Nazi imagery in the film. Very hypocritical of the music press and the likes of Paul Morley (that cunt again!) to lambast the Ants for ‘Dirk’ when they sang the praises of Joy Division, who were a good band, but their name came from a brothel in a Nazi concentration camp in the book ‘House Of Dolls…’ The Ants then record company pullled ‘Dirk’ off the album and Adam was far from happy about it,,,,

  8. There shite singing, and shitty attitude aren’t the only reasons the Pistols need a cunting. Back in ’84 when I started high school, there was a kid in my class who basically lived his life according to the ‘message’, the Sex Pistols sent out. He always refused to wear the school’s uniform, he constantly swore and spat at teachers and other pupils, and he generally had a shitty attitude. The one time he spat at me, he required the services of a dentist. Even at 11, I was 6 feet tall. He ended up, (I think it was ’86), getting the shit kicked out of him, after he’d put his hand up the skirt of a mate’s girlfriend. It wasn’t the first time he’d had a beating, but it was the worst one, (broken jaw and nose, two black eyes etc,). My mate got away with it. Just. I also remember seeing an interview with McClaren and Westwood and thinking what a pair of fucking bell ends they were.

    Oddly enough, I occasionally see this dickhead around town. He still glares at me, and I still feel grateful, that I’m not the sad, lonely, balding, little twat that he is. I’m told he’s still a nasty bastard too.

    • I get that, QDM… There was this little cunt who was after my kid sister… But she was never interested so he decided he’d make her life a misery… When I found out he was bullying her at school me and another mate kicked fuck out of him… He didn’t just do it to my sister though, the cunt liked picking on young girls… Anyway the last time I saw the cunt he looked at me (and my sister) like he was the one who was wronged and bullied… The little cunt shouldn’t gob at girls, pinch their arms, and pull their hair, so tough shit…

  9. Andy Murray, what a cunt eh ? Hes only taken team GB into the Davis cup final for the first time since who knows when, If that doesnt deserve a cunting I dont know what does. 😉

    • The BBC are fawning over Murray, saying he guided GB to the Davis Cup Final.
      Funny that, I thought the Davis Cup was a team event, so Andy Murray played all the doubles games on his own did he?
      And it pisses me off big time, the Cunt is Scottish, not English, but the BBC always fawn over Andy citing him as British.

      I saw a segment on the BBC news channel, it was about 15 seconds long but featured at least 4 cuts to his stupid cunt of a whore Kim Sears sitting in the crowd supporting ‘her man’

      FUCK OFF, the BBC love Tennis because it is the only fucking sport they can show because the corporate cunts purchased the rights to all the sport.

      In 15 years time the only sport you will see on the BBC will be The Boat Race, The Great North Run & The London Marathon.
      The sooner these complicit, child abusing cunts and far from impartial BBC is disbanded the better!

      Did anyone see that hook nosed Jew Emily Maitlis on the BBC just last week? she was interviewing some labour cunt, as the interview ended she twisted his words to promote the BBC’s bias and she was called out for it by the politician.
      Her reply…. “I was only joking”
      Well Emily, Hitler was only joking when he gassed all those Jews, so that’s OK then.

      Fuck the BBC, Fuck Andy Murray, Fuck Emily Maitlis and fuck the Jews (as Doug Stanhope would happily say)

      • You have no idea how much I enjoy the fact that you are pissed off by the fact that Murray is Scottish. The cunt will probably go and win the thing now. That would such a cuntish thing to do.

  10. Oh, and a fantastic cunting Norman.
    The Sex Pistols, the only band a 3 yr old can recreate on guitar hero.
    3 chords, usually B, D & F or the classic C Major triad (C, E & G)
    If you can play 3 chords with the above notes as the roots you too can be lauded as a seminal artist and be selling Clover Butter when you are 60

    CUNTS

    • Exactly or you could unplug your bass and pretend to be Sid Vicious ,Rotten called him that because he named his hamster Syd Barrett hahaha and stupid vicious put his hand in the hamster cage and got bitten. Sid Vicous Is Johnny Rotten’s creation more or less.

  11. Did no one think that those vicious and rotten names might have been fabricunted for material gain, may I just say that I am new here, and love the site,

    • They were! johnny rotten was called that because his bad teeth although it doesn’t look that bad Mccunten gave him that nickname, and Rotten gave Ritchie, The Sid Vicous nickname the other members didn’t want to have nicknames probably cause it was more about Sid and John then them

  13. I would like to NOMINATE:

    SuperCasino

    Anyone who works odd shifts, is unemployed or just an insomniac will be aware of this shower of tax avoiding cunts.
    It can be seen on Channel 5 (in the UK) usually around 1am – 3am, they are a bunch of tax avoiding cunts based in Guernsey and they also run Jackpot 247 (which can be seen on ITV in the UK, at the same times!)
    These two fucking scamming trading names are both run by the same company, Netplay TV, a quick check on companies house shows how many spin-off companies they have incorporated, all for tax evasion of course!
    When you do win with these cunts, which is rare, they will NOT pay you your winnings. A friend of mine won over £2000 and it took him 6 MONTHS, yes 6 FUCKING MONTHS and involving a solicitor until they finally paid him out, this was after asking for scans of his birth certificate, driving license, credit card and they even DEMANDED a photo with a newspaper showing the days date, I kid you not!

    They try to make out they encourage responsible gaming (no, it’s gambling, not gaming you cunts) yet they then offer you a free £10, but before you can even win you have to bet 99x this in 30 days, thats betting £990, but in the small print they state a maximum win of £100.
    So, you get a free £10 for joining, you then have to wager £990 in 30 days on HIGH risk bets (streets, corners, splits or single numbers) and even after all this you can only ever win £100.

    A shower of fucking tax avoiding cunts who have been reported to the gambling commission, let’s hope they revoke their license!

  15. So Dave Cameron put his maggot sized, syphilis infested cock inside a dead pig, and Jeremy Corby fucked an obese living pig
    I’d say it’s swings & roundabouts!
    Still, makes a change from fucking children I suppose.
