Sex Pistols Flip Off Hall of Fame

Invited in after five snubs, the original Brit-punks snub back



In closing the Sex Pistols' final pre-reunion performance, Johnny Rotten called out, "Ever get the feeling that you've been cheated?" It's a sentiment he and his surviving bandmates shared with the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Friday: The punk provocateurs issued a terse, sneering statement avowing that they would not attend the ceremony inducting them into the Hall next month. The scrawled note, posted at thefilthandthefury.co.uk, states in Pistol-ian fashion (sic): "Next to the Sex Pistols, rock and roll and that hall of fame is a piss stain. Your museum. Urine in wine. We're not coming. We're not your monkeys. If you voted for us, hope you noted your reasons. Your anonymous as judges but your still music industry people. We're not coming. Your not paying attention.

don't get me wrong, the sex pistols sucked (deliberately)....but they threw a huge wrench into music and that ruled.

Hats off and fists up to those fuckers.

 

[lizard]

it actually would be pretty cool if they did show up, they could spit at the well heeled attendees.

with sid they sucked,
but never mind the bollocks is a brilliant album
I still love it

i still think it's funny how the sex pistols are held in such esteem; there are so many better punk bands out there...but heheh, that's funny as hell

except the repeated misuse of "your", i don't care if it was intentional or not

 

[lizard]

agreed....but the Pistols were a multimedia event engineered by malcolm mcclaren, and they kickstarted a revolution.

mcclaren worked with alot of other bands but never quite created the outrage as with the pistols...although this album cover came close cause the singer was under age.

Fuck those mohawked haired hippies. I hope they die of aids after they snub their local drug clinic's attempts at offering them free std testing.

 

[lizard]

haha punks despised hippies!

 

[cthulufhtagn]

Fuck those mohawked haired hippies.

haha, hippies

Yeah I thought the whole hardcore punk straight edge movement was a direct response to hippiedom.

don't confuse punk and straight edge, two different things

 

[NAD]

That's why I tried to clarify, I know not all punks are straight edge.

But I failed it.

 

[Reign in Acai]

Hey hey I just needed a word that started with an "H" that segued nicely off the word "haired".

 

[lizard]
