Sex Pistols: In Their Own Words | Music Documentary | Johnny Rotten | Sid Vicious
A deep dive into the history, influence, and music of the groundbreaking punk rock band, The Sex Pistols. Although their initial career lasted just two and a half years, they were one of the most important acts in the history of popular music and pop culture. Their fashion and hairstyles were a significant influence on punk image, and they are often associated with anarchism within music.

The Sex Pistols were an English punk rock band formed in London in 1975. They were responsible for initiating the punk movement in the United Kingdom and inspiring many later punk and alternative rock musicians.
The Sex Pistols originally comprised vocalist Johnny Rotten (John Lydon), guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook, and bassist Glen Matlock; Matlock was replaced by Sid Vicious in early 1977. Under the management of Malcolm McLaren, the band attracted some controversies that both captivated and appalled Britain. Through an obscenity-laced television interview in December 1976 and their May 1977 single “God Save the Queen“, the latter of which attacked Britons’ social conformity and deference to the Crown, calling the monarchy a “fascist regime“. The release of the song popularised punk rock in the UK.
The Sex Pistols’ only album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols (1977) — a UK number one — is a staple record of punk rock. In January 1978, at the end of their turbulent tour of the US, Rotten announced the band’s break-up. Over the next few months, the three remaining members recorded songs for McLaren’s film of the Sex Pistols’ story, The Great Rock ’n’ Roll Swindle.
The Sex Pistols have been recognized as an influential band. In 2004, Rolling Stone placed them No. 58 on its list of the “100 Greatest Artists of All Time“. On 24 February 2006, the Sex Pistols—, also directly inspired the style, and often the formation itself, of many punk and post-punk bands during their first two-and-a-half-year run. The Clash, Siouxsie and the Banshees, the Adverts, Vic Godard of Subway Sect, and Ari Up of the Slits are among those in London’s “inner circle“ of early punk bands that credit the Pistols.
Among the many musicians of a later time who have acknowledged their debt to the Pistols are members of the Jesus and Mary Chain, NOFX, The Stone Roses, Guns N’ Roses, Nirvana, Green Day, and Oasis. Tim Mohr links Western radio airplay of the Sex Pistols as helping create the whole East German punk movement. Calling the band “immensely influential“, a London College of Music study guide notes that “many styles of popular music, such as grunge, indie, thrash metal and even rap owe their foundations to the legacy of groundbreaking punk bands—of which the Sex Pistols was the most prominent.“
