'Never Mind The Bollocks Here's The Sex Pistols'



I think it is funny when “punks” make a really clean, melodic rock album. What’s less anarchic than recording an album for Virgin? 

Interestingly, Sid Vicious (the noted drug addict, who sometimes played bass guitar) is featured just on one song on the Sex Pistols’ only record. Former bassist Glen Matlock was asked to return, but once he wasn’t paid he laid down only one song. Guitarist Steve Jones played bass on every other track.

Say what you will about the vapid modern entertainment culture, but Vicious is a well-known “rock god” for basically dying. He’s famous for nothing.
