Jhony Rotten

Well, coincidentally (again) John Lydon is still hanging out at the Sex can attract the attention of Malcolm. Atittude crazy and make a sloppy guy who had become manager of the New York Dolls is kesengsem.

Not so long ago, John Lydon had auditioned. Tetep Alice Cooper song ...! Man, but John's voice is rada fals even make this blond guy admitted into the band. Let more nge-punk, Malcolm changed the name to John Lydon Johnny Rotten. (Even though he just had his best friend so ngeganti name Sid Vicious!). So, stand with four formations Sex Pistols: Johnny Rotten, Paul Cook, Glen Matlock and Steve Jones.

Their first appearance was in St. Martin School of Art in West End on November 6, 1975. They are thought to bring new music that is "dangerous" because it obviously is not good didenger (especially voice vocalist) and the wild.

Sid was trying to want to know the other band members. Pengen kayak diakuin, Sid always wanted to help Pistols in action is sometimes not fair. Imagine, here the band did not want to appear on schedule. Pengennya immediately appear impromptu, and this was possible in places that are not prevalent. Sure wrote that angry is the security. Kalo udah gini, et al Johnny often threatened to riot. Well, if already there is chaos command of Johnny, Sid must intervene bantuin Pistols.

But again, Sid came in handy. Pistols were punk diselundupin at every festival. Band The Flower of Romance so cover-na. As soon as The Flower was called, which appears instead Pistols. Rock!! Seru abis.

Behind the riots he called Pistols, the band turned out to have internal problems. Anyone who wondered if the bassist Glen Matlock was not preferred ma other personnel. The reason is because he was too calm and come from middle-class. Continue? Yes, it turns out that condition is considered less radical by other personnel.

They were thought to kick Glen Matlock out. And ... enter Sid!
