The original vocalist John Lydon doesn’t have a good relationship with his ex-bandmates and even sued the guitarist Steve Jones because of the TV series Pistol, released in 2022, which told the story of the band from Jones’ point of view. He also tried to prevent the songs of the band from being used on the show. But he lost the legal battle and the show was released with the original tracks.
Formed in London, England back in 1975, the Sex Pistols are one of the most important Punk Rock bands of all time. Although they released only one album “Never Mind the Bollocks: Here’s The Sex Pistols” (1977), they became a huge influence to countless musicians all over the world.
They not only became an inspiration for Punk artists but also for people from other music genres, such as Guns N’ Roses, for example. The band was active from 1975 to 1978, reuniting the original line-up in 1996, 2002 to 2003 and from 2007 to 2008.
