Sex Pistols 'Spend sweet FA On Publicity'."

My recommendation to youthful musicians is : You can do it for yourself, you can. During all of my career I have never orchestrated a record with a tour and an attention campaign. " So what if we released our last album 31 years ago? We make records when we'd like not when we are told.
" It's more natural to make new material this way because there is a different sort of energy when you are out there. That is what the Sex Pistols are all about. Lydon then went on to scoff Madonna and her consistent media attention : " What is it [she] spends? About £250000 a year to keep her phorse face in the paper? ". The band was started as a PR campaign to sell clothing. Anyways, the Pistols will always remain a punk band in my book, if Lydon likes it or not. And putting a song on Guitar hero is getting hoopla. It appears weird for somebody who just ever put out one album to feel he has the legal right to criticise any act with.I dunno, 2 albums. Also due to the nature of Sex Pistols, there wasn't any need for press, as they were infamous. It's like Gn'R, they did not spend moulah on limelight, they were just wound up, and that got folks interested in them, same with Slipknot, and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
