Johnny Rotten.....remember it was "Punk", the band could barely play their instruments.
i think you misunderstand punk music ozy. appologies if I am wrong.
The sex pistols could play instruments apart from Syd Vicious, they tried to teach him the bass but failed ,lol.
People think of punks as spikey haired ragamuffins wit hsafety pins sticking out their noses and playing deafening music. This is not the case with the majority of the punk bands.
They are mostly antiestablishemnt, anti government and I dont see anything wrong with that.
The clash were a punk band and a very fine one at that. they sang about rights for the people and other important everyday issues.
Stiff little fingers a superb all time great punk band. sang and still sing about life issues.
if you heard a few songs of theirs you would never think they are a punk band. A few you could loook up in spotify or pandora are " bits of kids" "each dollar a bullet" "price of admission" "Johnny was" ( bob marley cover) "
these two are different from the sex pistols, they were anarchic punk and mostly about image but still under the same genre of music as punk.
I do like the sex pistols and I am not sticking up for them here. I just wanted to say not all punks were like the sex pistols and folk would be wrong to think all punks are anything like the pistols.
OK, had to get that in,lol.
cheers
