Questions about the Sex Pistols.

Here are the questions about the Sex Pistols:

1)What songs have you heard?
In fact, I haven't heard them before I did homework about them. But I've known that they're an important band of punk music since I've start to listen to rock and other brands of music. I've heard "God Save The Queen".

2)Why were they important?
Because they were the first band that started to play punk music.

3)Do people still listen to the Sex Pistols?
Someone who like punk music maybe listen to them. I don't know exactly. I've got a friend who like punk music and listen to the Sex Pistols.

4)Have they any influence in the music that is made today?
Yes, they have. Because they were the first band who started with the punk music in London. After then other bands have made better the sound of the punk music.

5)Any anecdotes?
Yes, I've read that their tours and concert usually finished with disturbs. And that the song "God Save the Queen" is an offense at the crown and at the
British nationalism.

I hope you like. (;
Bye!

John Joseph Lydon.


Now I'm going to speak about John Joseph Lydon: (Born 31 January 1956 in London, England), also known as Johnny Rotten, is a British rock musician, best known as lead vocalist for the punk rock group Sex Pistols and post punk group Public Image Ltd. He grew up on a council estate in Finsbury Park, North London with three younger brothers. At the age of seven, he contracted spinal meningitis, putting him in and out of comas for half a year and erasing most of his memory. The disease left him with a permanent curve in his spine.

He's musician and singer-songwrites. Then I'll say that he plays vocals, stroh violin, saxophone, guitar, bass guitar, violin, synthesizer, keyboards and percussion.

Public Image Ltd. were an English musical group formed in 1978 by vocalist John Lydon, guitarist Keith Levene, and bassist Jah Wobble.

Sex Pistols.

I'm going to speak about the Sex Pistols: They're an English punk rock band that formed in London in 1975. The band originally comprised vocalist Johnny Rotten, guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook and bassist Glen Matlock (replaced by Sid Vicious). Although their initial career lasted only three years and produced only four singles and one studio album, Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols, the Sex Pistols have been described by the BBC as "the definitive English punk rock band." The Sex Pistols emerged as a response to the "increasingly safe and bloated" progressive rock and manufactured pop music of the mid-1970s. At the end of their tour, Rotten left the band in January 1978. The remaining trio carried on with vocals Sid Vicious, but he died of a heroin overdose that February.
