"They never bothered to correct the incredible fatal, bad mistakes about our legend and legacy in their museum and up until now, they've rejected our nomination for three years running, and now they want a piece of us.
"They never cared who we were," Lydon said. Seriously, do you really think we’re going to edit those guys? If so, think again.)Ī few days before the induction ceremony, Lydon appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live and answered Kimmel’s question as to why he and his fellow Pistols were so hell-bent on refusing to have anything to do with the Hall of Fame.
(Yes, those spelling errors are from the original text. Outside the shit-stream is a real Sex Pistol." Your anonymous as judges but your still music industry people. If you voted for us, hope you noted your reasons. "Next to the Sex Pistols, rock and roll and that hall of fame is a piss stain. The statement, which appeared in scrawl-like text on the Sex Pistols’ official website, read as follows: As such, few Pistols fans were surprised when the announcement in February 2006 of their impending induction resulted in a statement from the band which offered as much of a sneer as the “we don’t care” in their song “Pretty Vacant.” Given that the whole point of punk rock was ostensibly to do away with the bloated excess of the 1970s rock scene and get back to basics with material that was raw, angry, and pure, it stands to reason that John Lydon, Steve Jones, Paul Cook, and Glen Matlock would react poorly to the idea of being inducted into something as respectable as the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Sex Pistols founder and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member Glen Matlock and Council of Fashion Designers of America member Keanan Duffty will visit Polimoda on January 11th, 2017 to discuss the fascinating intersection of fashion and Music and it’s effect on modern culture, opening the Polimoda Rendez-Vous cycle for 2017 with a guest lecture entitled The Saturday Boys. Not that they were there to have the honored bestowed upon them, mind you, but it’s the day it happened nonetheless. We're the Sex Pistols and that's something to be celebrated I think." While the Sex Pistols lacked Sid Vicious, they now have the dynamic that made them famous.11 years ago today, the Sex Pistols were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. While their only album The Vicious White Kids wasn't released until 1991, the cover of " My Way" is an excellent punk staple. Other appearances include Rich Kids, mostly known for their single " Ghosts of Princes in Towers", Iggy Pop's 1980 album Soldier, and The Damned's Not of This Earth in 1995 for " Tailspin" and " Never Could Believe." Beyond that he has toured with a large number of other punk and post-punk acts, managing to make a living as a spare bassist. His biggest act since leaving the Sex Pistols has been occasional Sex Pistols reunion concerts, as he explained to The Guardian that "John, Steve, Paul and myself have got something in common that no other four people in the world have. The most notable work he has done since is almost certainly being the bassist for his replacement's later band Vicious White Kids, in which Sid Vicious proved himself as a very capable front man. That divergence in what the band should aspired to be can be seen in Matlock's annoyance with Johnny Rotten for turning down the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, as given in an interview with Post Gazette: "I think it was a unilateral decision by Johnny Rotten and I don't agree with it." Steve Jones merely said "I appreciate it but I couldn't care less" about the honor. When responding to a question from Rhino about whether it was Malcolm McClaren, the Pistols' manager, who fired Matlock, Steve Jones confessed that it was a group decision: "He was a good writer but he didn't look like a Sex Pistol and he was always washing his feet." The official telegram, as remembered by the BBC, said "Yes Glen Matlock was thrown out of the Sex Pistols so I'm told because he went on too long about Paul McCartney STOP" Matlock had already left the band.Īs far as a reason for his dismissal has actually emerged, it seems that he left for the same reasons why Sid Vicious joined: his look and what he thought the band should be. While most fans of the Sex Pistols know that Sid Vicious replaced Glen Matlock as the bassist, few know, however that almost all the bass parts on Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols - with the exception of " Anarchy in the UK" - were not played by Matlock, but by Steve Jones, the band's guitarist.
