British punk band in the late 1970's consisting of 4 Members, Johnny Rotten, Steve Jones, Glen Matlock(Later replaced by Sid Vicious) and Paul Cook. This band used loud offensive music & lyrics, which definied punk for what it is,not what it seems,making punk rock of true essence to society.

R.I.P. Sid Vicious

A band fronted by the smartest man in the world, John Lydon AKA Johnny Rotten.

How come everyone mentions Sid vicious when talking about the pistols? I'm sure he was a good person before all the drugs but All he did in the Pistols was stand there, look the part, and play a few cords, which were out of time. John Lydon wrote the lyrics and kept the band on track. He deserves more credit then he gets.

Anyway they did and said what they wanted to, and didn't let anyone influence their choices.

By the way, the Pistols are way better then the clash
the Sex Pistol's lyrics are better then the clash's, end of story.

Despite what people believe, were NOT a manufactured band.were not brought together by that lying asshole Malcolm Mclaren. Paul and Steve went a long way back. So did Johnny and Sid. Were not told what do on that Bill who-ever-the-hell show. Apparently Malcolm was cowering in the back awaiting a lawsuit. Mclaren did nothing for the band but mooch of their succes. But I guess he was somewhat clever. He did trick you all into believing him. Asshole.
Sex Pistols will live forever.

Honestly, the best band ever. Didn't give a damn what anybody thought. My kind of men right there.

A band whom many belive created or started punk, though they did not, they did help define the genre. By the way, Iggy pop and the stooges didn't start punk, that would be the Mc5.
um...anarchy in the U.K...?

A great punk band. Had a lot of good songs, but had ill tempered members(sorry Jonny and Sid). And they had one hell of a good guitarist.
nothing else really to say
