Excellent recording of the Sex Pistols, recorded at the Longhorn Ballroom in Asbury Park, NJ, on January 10th, 1978.
The Sex Pistols may have only been together for two years in the late
'70s, but they changed the face of popular music. Through their raw,
nihilistic singles and violent performances, the band revolutionized the
idea of what rock & roll could be. In England, the group was
considered dangerous to the very fabric of society and was banned across
the country; in America, they didn't have the same impact, but
countless bands in both countries were inspired by the sheer sonic force
of their music, while countless others were inspired by their
independent, do-it-yourself ethics. Even if they didn't release any
singles by themselves, there was an implicit independence in the way
they played their music and handled their career. The band gave birth to
the massive independent music underground in England and America that
would soon include bands that didn't have a direct musical connection to
The Sex Pistols' initial three-minute blasts of rage, but couldn't have
existed without those singles.
Guitarist Steve Jones and drummer Paul Cook were regulars at a boutique
owned by their manager, Malcolm McLaren; bassist Glen Matlock worked at
the store. Vocalist John Lydon, who would later perform under the name
Johnny Rotten, met the rest of the group at the shop and was asked to
join the band. While the band played simple rock & roll loudly and
abrasively, Rotten arrogantly sang of anarchy, abortion, violence,
fascism, and apathy; without Rotten, the band wouldn't have been
threatening to England's government -- he provided the band's conceptual
direction, calculated to be as confrontational and threatening as
possible. The publicity caused by their caustic first single "Anarchy in
the U.K." caused the band to be dropped by their record label, EMI.
Matlock was fired before their next single "God Save the Queen," which
was released on Virgin; it was banned by the BBC. Matlock's replacement
was Sid Vicious, a tough street kid who, unlike the rest of the band,
couldn't play his instrument.
After releasing one album, Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex
Pistols, in 1977, the band headed over to the U.S. for a tour in January
of 1978; it lasted 14 days. Rotten left the band after their show at
San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom on January 14, heading back to New
York; he would form Public Image Limited later that year. McLaren tried
to continue the band but Cook and Jones soon turned against him. In the
two decades following the Sex Pistols' implosion, an endless stream of
outtakes, demos, repackagings, and live shows were released on a variety
of labels, which only helped their cult grow. In 1996, to celebrate
their impending twentieth anniversary, The Sex Pistols reunited, with
original bassist Glen Matlock taking the place of the deceased Sid
Vicious. The band embarked on an international tour in June of 1996,
releasing the Filthy Lucre Live album the following month. Four years
later, Julien Temple (who helmed the band's first movie, The Great Rock
& Roll Swindle) directed the documentary film The Filth & the
Fury.
