Guitarist STEVE JONES Tells Why They Picked FRANK CARTER As Frontman For A Series Of SEX PISTOLS Gigs
31 January 2025
Steve Jones, Glenn Matlock, Frank Carter and Paul Cook
Never mind the bollocks, here’s Frank.
Original SEX PISTOLS Paul Cook (drummer), Glen Matlock (bassist) and Steve
Jones (guitarist) played a gig to raise funds for London’s historical, small Bush Hall
venue in Shepherd’s Bush (where Jones and Cook grew up) last year. They recruited
fab loudmouth Frank Carter of Frank Carter And The Rattlesnakes.
Several other gigs followed quickly and this year they’ll perform
at the yearly musical event for Teenage Cancer Trust in the historic
Royal Albert Hall in London.
GOD SAVE FRANK

Original SEX PISTOLS, Paul Cook (drummer), Glen Matlock (bassist) and Steve
Jones (guitarist) played their one and only album Never Mind The Bollocks
(still the best punk LP in my book), in its entirety at a fundraiser for London’s
historical, small Bush Hall venue in Shepherd’s Bush last week. It was a blast.
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
And due to popular demand, they announced a handful of gigs in September in the UK.

God Save Punk Icons GENERATION SEX = GENERATION X + SEX PISTOLS
One summer festival track a day keeps the doctor away
26 June 2023
Back in 2018, it looked like former 70s Generation X punk icons Billy Idol and bassist Tony James (also Sigue Sigue Sputnik and the Sisters of Mercy) and Sex Pistols legends, drummer Paul Cook and brill-riff guitarist Steve Jones had nothing to do, were bored
and phoned each other to kick out the jams together.
Enter GENERATION SEX. They played a string of gigs, mixing Gen X and
Pistols classics and then returned to their bat caves to get bored again.
But you can’t keep lifetime punk junkies like these bandidos too long away from a stage. GS got together again this year, already played some festivals the past few months and will continue to do the same this summer.
Last weekend they took the stage at Glastonbury Festival.
Yes, they’re older and don’t look like James Dean anymore. So what? They’re still younger than The Stones, Paul McCartney and Bob Dylan. And since when is age the touchstone for playing fucking great music. 65-year-old stars can suck, but 18-year-old snotty-nosed indies can suck too. 18-year old snotty-nosed indies can rock your balls off, so can (some) 65-year-old stars too.
So what about these old cowboys? They’re BIG FUN. And watch/hear how Cook hammers his drums, Jones still comes up with anarchist riffs as he did his whole pistol life and rebel yeller Billy Idol still screams his lungs out. Bye, bye Johnny Forgotten.
GOD SAVE GENERATION SEX.
I’ll be there.

Video For ‘GOD SAVE THE QUEEN’ By SEX PISTOLS – The Controversial Uppercut Came Out This Day In 1977
For your punk eyes
27 May 2023
The SEX PISTOLS released their controversial sucker-punch GOD SAVE THE QUEEN
46 years ago today, on 27 May 1977. Despite it sold enough copies to reach the top
spot on the UK Singles Charts the BBC‘s conservative bosses refused to play the song.
Given the fact that Queen Elizabeth passed away last September
this classic punk anthem shines another light on its content.
God save the Queen
A fascist regime
They made you a moron
Potential H-bomb
God save the Queen
She ain’t no human being
There is no future
In England’s dreaming

Quote Of The Day – JOHNNY FORGOTTEN ROTTEN Loves His Queen
You ARE a curmudgeon, a terribly right-wing one. From hero to zero, Johnny.

Top singles from the past
5 June 2022
To celebrate Queen Elizabeth‘s 70 years in power millions of Brits went
ballistic this weekend during the massive Queen’s Platinum Jubilee
festivities for the imperishable folklore celebrity.
Last Friday, Virgin Records re-released the Sex Pistols‘ fierce anthem
God Save The Queen. The day after (4 June) it topped the UK Singles
Charts exactly 45 years after it was denied the numero uno spot by
the BBC morons on its first release.
God save the Queen

SEX PISTOLS Shocked The United Kingdom 40 Years Ago – But Nothing Has Changed Today…
When timeless in sound and vision…
‘God Save The Queen’ by SEX PISTOLS
Forty years ago today – 27 May 1977 – the SEX PISTOLS released controversial single
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN. A timeless punk banger that shocked the conservative United Kingdom. I just loved their rage, their controversial attitude, their middle finger for the capitalistic establishment and Johnny Rotten‘s new generation charisma. These outcasts
were just sensational, highly inspiring and made the best punk rock album ever!…
So what’s the status today, 40 years later? Well, after several reunion tours the legendary
four-piece filled their pockets with tons of money. Face & voice John ‘Rotten’ Lydon recently became an American citizen (obviously inspired by Obama he claimed) after living for many years now in a huge mansion in Los Angeles and he stated on several talk-shows (selling another book, again) a couple of months ago that idiot Trump is a ‘possible friend and in
a way a political Sex Pistol ‘ and Brexit (read: old Brittania going back to intolerance, racism and egoism) is a great thing for the UK as that is what the working class wanted and ‘ I’m one of them and I’m with them’‘ waffled the nowadays irrelevant punk has-been. And, oh yeah, the Queen is still in charge. Wow, what a revolution! We’re back at point zero. Over the years punk became a million dollars business and their early figureheads, like the Pistols, became silly comedians and greedy chameleons. Sad, really sad…
THE SEX PISTOLS – The Filth And The Fury 40 Years Ago Today…
Looking and listening back in time! Memorable moments in sonic history!
Forty years ago today – 1 December 1976 – the SEX PISTOLS shocked the British island with this (in)famous appearance on ITV’s live early evening ‘Today‘ show. Haha! Good old conservative and prude Britannia went completely mad after the rude language interview with four unknown who-the-fuck-cares teenagers. Presenter Bill Grundy was fired, although he was right about one thing: “they are as drunk as I am…” Here’s the SHIT….
Oh my God, it looks actually like silly amateurish British comedy today. Here is the real f*****g way to remember what the b****y brilliant Pistols were all about and they are
SO relevant again in today’s bleak Brexit land. Political filth and fury anno 2016 in the UK…
