Sex Pistols

The most famous (and infamous) band of the late 70s British punk scene. Their rebellious image combined with a commercial sound (partly thanks to producer Chris Thomas) created some of the most memorable moments of the 70s - both musical and otherwise.
Band Line-up:
- Vocals: [b]Johnny Rotten[/b] (John Lydon) 1975-1978 Vocals
- Guitar: [b]Steve Jones[/b] 1975-1978 Guitar
- Bass: [b]Glen Matlock [/b]1975-1977 Bass
- Drums: [b]Paul Cook[/b] 1975-1978 Drums.
Replacement:
- [b]Sid Vicious[/b] Bass 1977-1978 [i](Replaced Glen Matlock)[/i]

The band effectively split up after their 1978 US tour, although Jones and Cook continued to record under the name for another year or so.

The original line-up reformed in 1996 for a series of concert tours, and has played live shows off and on since then, and released live recordings.

Original line-up, minus John Lydon reformed in 2024 with [a=Frank Carter (2)] on vocals, initially to raise funds for Bush Hall in Shepherd’s Bush, west London, before touring the UK.
