Steve Jones Doesn’t Want To Hear the Sex Pistols Anymore.
For the rest of us, the group’s name alone unwraps a pin-held patchwork of images that encapsulate an era and an entire movement. The burning mania of frontman Johnny Rotten, the artwork of seminal albumand the fatal pairing of Sid and Nancy — all of it comes to mind before the thought of Sex Pistols guitarist and founder Steve Jones.Pistol
“We got a new deal with Universal. They wanted to re-release a bunch of the stuff,” he says. “There's some rarities on there. If you're a fan, you’ll probably enjoy it. I don't know, I think it's to coincide with theTV show, of course. I personally don’t care to listen to the Sex Pistols. I’m over it. But, like I said, if you're a fan, you probably will like it.”
Though Lydon has admitted to not having seen the series, some music history purists are on his side, and were let down by the creative license taken by Boyle. Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren is portrayed as a marketing mastermind who cherry-picked the band to suit his revolution, much like Simon Fuller cast the Spice Girls. McLaren’s bloody-raw vision for the band was to stir up shit through a U.S. tour, and he deliberately kept them away from punk meccas such as CBGB and only booked them in the South when they toured the country in 1978. One of those infamous concerts was at Dallas’ Longhorn Ballroom, which is depicted in the series.
“Well, the issues are always the same,” he says. “It doesn't matter if it was in the ‘70s or right now. It’s always the same crap that's going on in politics.”
