The Sex Pistols (country, bass, punk, albums, Queen)

Judging by The Filth and the Fury i'm guessing their was a friendship there but it was a turbulent one. It happens with loads of bands, 2 members will clash (like in The Clash funnily enough) but they'll still be mates. In that film Rotten's pretty clearly upset over what happened.

(@ sweet nothing) Ofcourse they were, I just mean that Lydon has always opposed Sid's portrayal as a rock martyr when he was (according to his best mate) just an easily-led, mixed-up kid.

Really, Sid shouldn't even be discussed here. The Pistols ended as a live band when Matlock left.

Funny you should say that as I saw on tele the other day the pistols with Matlock are playing about 20 festivals this summer alone!

Playing good gigs too from what I hear although you know how it is at festivals......f***g a few stoners on bongos sounds like heavenly drums once you drink the herb tea.
But Matlock actually wrote the songs with them that we all know and played most of the shows and still does.
Syd was brought in very short period and played nothing just image.
I like the fact Rotten now likes the Queen and is a property developer!
The Ramones just took drugs and died of drugs.
I know so many people who when they listen to the Ramones like Bonzo and rock n roll radio actually love their cartoon fast tunes.
But the Ramones had clever marketing too with T shirts and stuff good branding they had.
They are loved in south America and Latin countries too!

Johnny and Joey both died of cancer, Dee Dee is the only one that died of drugs.

Drink and drugs lead to cancer and they were drug related cancers.

Johnny died of prostate cancer and Joey died of lymphoma, they weren't drug related.
