Music's 10 Most Scandalous Live-TV Moments

Feb 9, 4:23pm Stereogum

When M.I.A. held up her middle finger during Madonna's Super Bowl Halftime Show last weekend, she dominated blog chatter for a few days and incited a few minor cable-TV debates. She could have to pay a fine, and she's definitely changed the narrative around her next album. But she hasn't gotten anywhere near the pantheon of music's most controversial live-TV performances; she didn't even hold that finger proudly up to the camera. If she really wanted to start riots, she should've taken note of the moments on our list below. Add your own picks to the comments section. [...]

Happy Birthday, Johnny Rotten!

Jan 31, 7:15pm Waved Rumor

The Rock 'n Roll Guru reminded us today.... "January 31, 1956: John Lydon , better known as Johnny Rotten, was born. He is 56. Johnny Rotten was a member of the much-loved yet short-lived (save for a few reunion tours) Sex Pistols. The Sex Pistols were the definitive punk band and left a legacy well beyond their brief existence." Forget the Pistols! It's 2012 and John at 56 is all about Public Image Ltd. , Lydon's post Pistols band. The PiL musical entity (ie. band) is planning for the [...]

Winona, me e il punk

Jan 19, 2:00am JunkiePop

Tornando a casa, alle 20 e 30, da lavoro, ho realizzato che Winona Ryder è la metafora più lapalissiana ed evidente della vita mia e di molti altri. Faccio un passo indietro e guardo il me poco più che 15enne che vede per la prima volta Mermaids (Sirene) e perde totalmente la testa per quella ragazza che ad un certo punto si veste da Cher, si trucca da Cher e perde la verginità col bello in moto (e gli lecca la giacca di pelle). Non credo di avere mai voluto così tanto essere qualcosa di inanimato come una giacca, [...]

FELIZ CUMPLEAÑOS ANARQUÍA

Nov 25, 2011, 10:55am noiselab

El punk es ahora todo un "adulto contemporáneo" ya que el legendario himno "Anarchy in U.K." cumple 35 años de haberse publicado como single (el 26 de noviembre de 1976), aunque The Sex Pistols, los perpetradores del asunto, no despegaron realmente hasta 1977 cuando fuera lanzado el disco "Nevermind the Bollocks...Here´s The Sex Pistols". Las canciones perfectamente diseñadas para la era punk, más las declaraciones de los miembros de la banda sobre que "Mick Jagger y Rod Stewart eran un mierda", entre otras linduras punk, hicieron que el grupo y la canción se convirtieran en un clásico que hoy celebra [...]

LOS GRAFFITIS DE THE SEX PISTOLS: ¿OBRA PATRIMONIO DE LA HUMANIDAD?

Nov 23, 2011, 6:34pm noiselab

El arqueólogo y profesor en la Universidad de York, Inglaterra, John Schofield ha causado controversia por su intención de que unos graffitis hechos por los integrantes de Sex Pistols, en los muros de un departamento que ellos rentaban afines de los 70s, se conserven en la categoría y la importancia de pinturas rupestres antiguas y además, sean considerados patronomio de la humanidad. Según el arqueólogo, las pinturas forman parte de una época histórica en la cultura reciente de su país y del mundo. El edificio se localiza en la calle Denmark en el centro de Londres, [...]

University of York considers Sex Pistols house an important archaeological site

Nov 23, 2011, 2:30pm Punknews.org

In what is perhaps both a nod to The Sex Pistols ' place in the history of modern music and an insult to John Lydon's artistic capabilities, The Telegraph is reporting that the University of York's archaeology department has declared a house The Sex Pistols rented in the 1970s to be an important historical and archaeological site. The reason is due to pieces of art that Lydon (also known as Johnny Rotten) drew on its walls while living there. The department's Dr. John Schofield compares the pieces to early human drawings in southern France's Lascaux caves, and [...]

Nov 22, 2011, 6:27pm Spinner.com

Filed under: News BBC The Sex Pistols mark a distinct turning point in rock 'n' roll history, when pop tendencies turned toward brash punk and anarchism. But it's not just the Pistols' music that helped form a new politically minded artist -- it was their graffiti as well. As the BBC reports, a London flat that the Pistols' Johnny Rotten , Sid Vicious and other members shared in 1975 still bears the [...]
