The Great Rock n Roll Swindler Ronnie Biggs dies at age 84

The British train robber Ronnie Biggs, notable for the "Great Train Robery" in Britain in 1963 , have died of illness at the age of 84.

After Johnny Rottens departure in 1978 from the Sex Pistols, manager Malcolm McLaren worked for train robber Ronnie Biggs in his Brazilian exile to replace Rotten as the new singer. All this in the Julian Temple´s Movie the Great Rock n Roll swindle. Of course this was a publicity stunt aimed to provoke the British public.

However Mr Biggs did record a tune with what was left of the Sex Pistols, Steve Jones and Paul Cook, "No One is Innocent".

He also recorded a track with the German punk band Die Toten Hosen.

New York Vs London Boys (A battle of words)

Sex Pistols - New York

On the pistols one anly propper studio album was the song New York about New York Dolls.

Frontman and singer John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten was probably tired of hearing on the manager 

Malcolm MacLarens rant about how well he did manage the New York Dolls in the end of their carer ( he didn´t). So to shut the trap Mr Lydon did write the lyric he did. Much to the other SP members embarrasment. The were huge Johnny Thunders (of the NY Dolls) and NY Dolls fans.

The answer came both as elegant as it was a bit childish.




Johnny Thunders - London Boys

The lyrics shows that Thunders was obvious hurt by Lydons tune. It is a bit
schoolyardish and childish. The sarcasm in Sex Pistols lyrics is way over the top of Johnny Thunders.
On the other hand he used the then ex Pistols members Steve Jones and Paul Cook as musicians on one of the recordings, just to tell, I own you.


Battle fought between 1977-78

Butt Ugly Sex Pistols Figures

I don´t know what to make out of this? But I note that it is made.

I guess the the butt ugly figures are in line with what was made in an irony on the cover on the record "Some products, carri on Sex Pistols".

Will I buy them....Do I look like an Idiot?

Malcolm Mc Laren and Vivienne Westwood in 1977

Pissed off Rotten not amused with the re Release of God Save the Queen

Hahaha! It must be ironic that the Britains most hated man in 1976-77, attacked in the streets and denied the right to perform by local authoroties, now are the symbol of the same Britain. Not only was there an offer to play at the 2012 London Olympics. Now the Sex Pistols classic anti establishment anthem is released as a comercial song ever now and them when the Queen of England celebrate something. John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten is not amused, and I understand him.

Sex Pistols are not doing the Olympics.

The Sex Pistols turned down the Olympics 

The legendary punk band The Sex Pistols were asked to reform and perform at the huge summer Olymic event in London 2012, but turned it down. And why should they cope with a society that they been mocking since 1976. A British society that treat them bad and banned them back then. John Lydon have proved that there are still some ideals left in the old punks. They are not going for the gold and sell out. I guess that the idea of being turned into a jolly spectacle celebrated by greedy sporting companies, corrupt politicians and olympic delegates as well as tourists was a bit too gross.

 Note that the AC/DC didn´t play at the opening of the Sydney Olympics in 2000.
