Sex Pistols

Sex Pistols is a punk rock band. For those who don't know the difference between punk rock and normal rock. Punk is basically teenagers that rebel against everything (Parental controls, politics, religion, even war.). Punk culture is commonly popular in European countries like England, France and Germany.
The Sex Pistols is the band that started it all. Most of today's punk bands follow what their creator has left behind. But the Sex Pistols didn't have the greatest cooperation. They had to replace their bass guitarists four times!!!! And each time they switched was because the previous one died of drug overdose!!!! You would think that they would be against drugs, but they didn't care. In fact they always seemed to be high before their gigs and after. They brought out their first album "Never Mind the Bollocks...Here's The Sex Pistols" in 1977. They started out with no money at all and managed to become one of the most famous bands of all time. How cool is that. But lots of arguments and controversy started when Glen Matlock left the band. He left for his own reasons and talked about it with the band. When they officially confirmed Matlock's resignation, they started a war of words. Enough of that and back to their music. Now the second album the brought out was "God Save The Queen" which caused a lot of controversy since it was "anti-royalist" to those that supported the queen. Basically to make a long story short, they weren't the most lovable band in history. Now there is a lot more to the Sex Pistols and if you are interested in learning more, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sex_Pistols. that is where I got my info. Here's the song
