Filed under: News , Exclusive , The Hit List PA The music industry has been in a financial free-fall since the turn of the millennium, which has forced many a musician to look into alternative ways to pay for their drugs. One of these ways is to throw their famous name behind some pretty weird products. Most recently, Courtney Love , who hasn't managed her portion of Nirvana 's royalties particularly well , appeared in [...]

Before: 1980 After: 1997

El jueves diez de enero de 1978, los Sex Pistols tocaban en un curioso -por decir lo menos- lugar, el  Longhorn Ballroom , un foro en Texas especializado en presentar a su audiencia lo mejor de la música country en vivo. En ese show los Pistols hicieron lo que sabían hacer muy bien: fastidiar a la audiencia. Pero quizás no contaban con que la concurrencia habitual del lugar - los sombrerudos que acudían al Longhorn esa noche, como era su costumbre- respondería. ¿El resultado? una mujer subiendo al escenario para descalabrar a Sid Vicious  con [...]

1975'de yeniyetme bir delikanlı, kendisini canlı bir yaftaya dönüştüren, Pink Floyd logosunun üstüne elle "I HATE" yazısını çiziktirilmiş tişörtüyle Londra'nın King's Road Caddesi'nde Dünya'nın Ucu'na 'caddenin bittiği yere' doğru caka sata sata yürüdü. Kırpılmış saçlarından arta kalanları yeşile boyadı ve onu görmezden gelmeye çalışan hippilere tüküren turistlerin safında yer aldı. Bu delikanlının ismi John Lydon'du. Yani Sex Pistol grubunda kullandığı ismiyle Johnny Rotten... Sex Pistols - Submission I.C.U - God Save [...]

Después de enterarme de que el espantoso sweater de Slayer (de un costo nada más y nada menos que de mil pesitos) ya está sold out, me puse a pensar en cuáles serían las peores piezas de mercancía que las bandas hubiesen puesto a la venta, y ¿por qué no? Hagamos una lista de las más inimaginables atrocidades cometidas en pos de la billetiza. Quiero empezar dándole su merecido lugar número uno a los reyes (o no) del merch: Kiss . Ni siquiera puedo recordar la plétora de productos que estos genios presentaron en el [...]

“Wake UP!” I look up from my notepad to find a grimy-looking middle aged dude suddenly swinging his way through the floor of the Nokia theater, pushing me and half-pummeling the people around him as they text and tweet from their mobile devices. He’s being a dick, but I get his point. This show is supposed to be recorded for posterity, for a live video or documentary or some such thing, and Mr. Lydon on stage wants the crowd to get riled up about it. He’s even taunting the sound guy, in rhyme, at the end of a [...]

Another exhausting Rocktober has finally come to an end. Of course, who better to close it out than R Kelly? Thursday, October 25th An Evening With Public Image, LTD at The Regency Ballroom Sure, it's not The Sex Pistols. However, Johnny Rotten's post-Pistols New Wave project may not have the historical gravitas of his first [...]

Photos by G. Johnny Rotten and Geoffrey Dicker Johnny Fucking Rotten!  The legendary lead singer of Sex Pistols and Public Image Limited (aka PiL) John Lydon (better known as Johnny Rotten) was in town to perform a pair of shows and also to sign copies of PiL's latest album "This is PiL" at J&R Music World in New York on October 13, 2012.  Johnny was anything but rotten as he graciously spent quality time with everyone in line, was happy to take photos and would sign [...]

About ten days ago, writer Barney Hoskyns posted the playlist from Johnny Rotten's Capital Radio appearance (July 15, 1977, on the Tommy Vance show) over at Rock's Back Pages , and linked to my old post about the show. Just for the hell of it, here's a Spotify playlist of MOST of the music selected by Mr. Lydon/Rotten from that day. I was able to find 19 of the 24 tracks from the track listing. If you'd like to hear or download the original broadcast, jump into [...]

The long-lost demo of Sex Pistols' "Belson Was A Gas" was recently discovered during a record label transition. The controversial song has been released in various live and alternate versions over the years, but the demo version with Johnny Rotten on vocals has been much sought after and long-since written off. With its sarcastic Holocaust lyrical theme ( allegedly written by Sid Vicious), the band was simply trying to offend the powers that be, using as sensitive a topic as it could muster at the time, since taking the piss out of the Queen was old news by then.

Limited edition super deluxe box set 'Never Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols' to be released September 24, 2012 through Universal Music UK Arguably the most controversial song in the Sex Pistols cannon, "Belsen Was a Gas" was originally drafted by Sid Vicious prior to joining the band. With added input from Johnny Rotten it became part of the bands live set from December 1977 onwards. 35 years later, the track that has never been aired before with John [...]

En menos de dos semanas Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols cumplirá 35 años, y la banda lanzará un box set para festejarlo.

“Belsen Was A Gas” es el nombre de un demo de los Sex Pistols que hasta ahora se creía perdido, grabado por John “Boogie” Tiberi en cinta de cuatro tracks, en su cuarto de ensayo en Denmark Street. Esta canción, que formó parte del repertorio para los shows en vivo de la banda, fue compuesta por Sid Vicious antes de unirse a la misma. Antes de que la versión demo saliera a la luz, solo existían versiones grabadas en vivo y una grabada posterior a la salida de Rotten, [...]

Starring John Lydon, and Harvey Keitel, and titled at various times Cop Killer , The Order of Death , or most commonly Corrupt . Hat tip to Dangerous Minds . What the NY Times said in its review on January 19, 1984: "Mr. Lydon, who has just the right insinuating, runty quality for Leo, makes a strong impression, and in a better film would make an even stronger one. Mr. Faenza has given ''Corrupt'' some momentum and tension, but there's absolutely nothing to hold it together. It's set in New York, but [...]
