The Sex Pistols have announced a concert to mark the 30th anniversary of the release of their controversial album Never Mind the Bollocks
Never Mind The Bollocks… Here’s The Sex Pistols, which included God Save the Queen and Anarchy in the UK, caused uproar when it was released in October 1977. But it was one of the defining records of the punk movement and is now recognized as one of the most influential albums in rock history.
The album’s reissue is to tie in with the anniversary, and four singles - God Save the Queen, Anarchy in the UK, Pretty Vacant and Holidays In The Sun - will be re-released on vinyl.
The NME magazine is running a campaign to get God Save the Queen to number one in the UK after it missed out first time around. It was originally banned by the BBC and ended up reaching number two at the time of the Queen’s silver jubilee - although some theories say the chart was manipulated to avoid embarrassment.

Why do I have to be in this part of the world, where we only ever seem to get gods and goddesses of pop? The last rock band that was here was Linkin Park, which I don’t really fancy!
Sigh… Punk’s Not Dead, Just Commercially Wounded.

well allan a some time ago I heard that Zack de la Rocha start to be a “hard comunist” and he run with a mahine gun in azia forests to safe us from capitalizm… he he …this is ofcours bulshit but thers something in it. I think it’s not god conection when you mix ideology and music.
Its funny when I see zack when he speak about comunism. You know.. in poland we have got it from end of war to eighty’s and I know this creepy years from my grandfater or parent’s story’s. my Grand’mother alway’s say about those year’s with tears in she’s eyes…
Love Ratm the music, the energy, tom morello gitar, but I think that cris cornel and Audioslave was like fresh air to them.
