This incandescent UK punk group came together under the aegis of entrepreneur Malcolm McLaren during the summer of 1975. Periodically known as the Swankers, with lead vocalist Wally Nightingale, they soon metamorphosed into the Sex Pistols. With a line-up comprising: Steve Jones(guitar), Paul Cook (drums), Glen Matlock (bass) and Johnny Rotten (vocals). The group signed to EMI Records which released their first single, 'Anarchy In The UK'. From Rotten's sneering laugh at the opening of the song to the final seconds of feedback, it was a riveting debut. Soon afterwards, the group was dropped from EMI in a blaze of publicity. By February 1977, Matlock was replaced by punk caricature Sid Vicious. The following month, the group was signed to A&M Records outsi More...

Rod Stewarts got a luggage label attached to his tonsils Paul Cook hamburgers etc etc . I just want to complete the song like I managed to do for "Friggin In The Riggin " after all these years on a site like this!! Cheers. Sex Pistols live forever..! | Reviewer: sanne ------ About artist/band Sex Pistols i agree with all the comments here. i live in Holland but i luv them..they're great! never saw them life {cause im only 13} wich is a shame, but they rule on cd's, dvd's & internet. such a shame Sid Vicious died young. he was awesome. x Sanne You're gonna give yourself a coniption | Reviewer: Bozo impersonator ------ About the song Who Killed Bambi performed by Sex Pistols This is actually Edward Tudorpole AKA Tenpole Tudor... the would-be successor to Johnny Rotten's old spot as mouth for the Pistols. This song is best enjoyed while watching Mr. Tudorpole's spastic performance in the Great Rock 'n Roll Swindle. The real message ... | Reviewer: Kenny ------ About the song Belsen Was A Gas performed by Sex Pistols I believe the real irony comes into play when you consider that the nazis used to play adverts for belson, calling it a paradise for jews who wish to leave Germany, and NOT be harmed. This song, I believe, is referencing those broadcasts. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belsen_Was_a_Gas One of the Great Rock Songs of All Time | Reviewer: Mickey Dean ------ About the song God Save The Queen performed by Sex Pistols The great Rock N Roll swindle was the press convincing as many people as possible that the Sex Pistols were an untalented publicity stunt whereas now many people who have actually listened to their album are finding out they were amazing. John Lydon was recently asked in a magazine interview what would be the legacy of the Sex Pistols; without hesitation he said: "Our Album". When it's as good as Never Mind The Bollocks one is all you need. Jonny Rotten | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song God Save The Queen performed by Sex Pistols "you don't right a song like god save the queen cause you hate the english race you right it because you love 'em and you're fed up with them being mistreated" - Jonny Rotten lushhh! | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Belsen Was A Gas performed by Sex Pistols i love this song so much but i don't find it anti- semitism but i guess i can't talk coz im not jewish! i thought of wearing a swastika once (just for shock value mind) but after learning about the holocaust i felt like a shit for even thinking about wearing one! anyway love this song so much! and if you think it is anti-semitic then don't listen to it simple! Punk | Reviewer: blackmanok ------ About the song God Save The Queen performed by Sex Pistols the sex pistols really was the embodiment of what punk was all about i love this band! and this song! Shocking, yes. Anti-semitic, no. | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Belsen Was A Gas performed by Sex Pistols Even though Sid Vicious insisted on wearing a swastika t-shirt (for the shock value, combined with his own ignorance I suppose) I don't think that anti-semitism is what the Sex Pistols were going for here. The song is laced with sarcasm and irony - the Belsen was a "gas" pun, for example, along with the juxtaposition of mass graves and postcards with the message "Life is fun". The last lines of the song really says it all: "Be someone, kill someone, be a man kill yourself" - suggesting that the Nazis would have done the world a favor by simply offing themselves in the first place. NOT the Sex Pistols! | Reviewer: Zorba W. ------ About the song Punk Rock Christmas performed by Sex Pistols Where did you get the idea this is the Pistols? This is by the Ravers (later known as the Nails), an American band from Colorado. Singer sounds nothing like Johnny Rotten. Song is not cruel | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Belsen Was A Gas performed by Sex Pistols This song may seem like it is anti-semeic but realy it is just black humer. Everybody knows that brits tell stupid horiible jokes, this is just one of them. I have many jewish friends who do not find this song ant-semitic at all. On of them thinks this is the best sex pistols song. Anyone who boycotts this songis missing out. ---buy the ticket, take the ride--- This song is cruel to Holocaust survivors | Reviewer: David ------ About the song Belsen Was A Gas performed by Sex Pistols This song is really anti-semitic. There are those who debate what anti-semitisim really is. Well this song is a good example. How pathetic creating a song and marketing it to the skinhead types.
