English punk rock band

For other uses, see Sex Pistols (disambiguation).

The Sex Pistols are an English punk rock band formed in London in 1975. Although their initial career lasted just two and a half years, they became culturally influential in popular music. The band initiated the punk movement in the United Kingdom and inspired many later punk, post-punk and alternative rock musicians, while their clothing and hairstyles were a significant influence on the early punk image.

The Sex Pistols' first line-up consisted of vocalist Johnny Rotten (born John Lydon), guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook, and bassist Glen Matlock, with Matlock replaced by Sid Vicious (born John Richie) in early 1977. Under the management of Malcolm McLaren, the band gained widespread attention from British press after swearing live on-air during a December 1976 television interview.

They were around for only two years and recorded only a single record, but their influence was vast in both the U.S. and the U.K. – the Punk explosion they ignited upended the music business and launched literally thousands of bands.

Formed in London in 1975, the Sex Pistols came together under manager Malcolm McClaren, a visual artist and boutique owner (and, briefly, manager of the New York Dolls) who had a vision for a band that would provoke on every possible level. He took under his wing a trio made up of regulars at his boutique — guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook, and bassist Glen Matlock –

A pistol is a type of handgun, characterised by a barrel with an integral chamber. The word "pistol" derives from the Middle Frenchpistolet (c. 1550), meaning a small gun or knife, and first appeared in the English languagec. 1570 when early handguns were produced in Europe. In colloquial usage, the word "pistol" is often used as a generic term to describe any type of handgun, inclusive of revolvers (which have a single barrel and a separate cylinder housing multiple chambers) and the pocket-sizedderringers (which are often multi-barrelled).

The most common type of pistol used in the contemporary era is the semi-automatic pistol. The older single-shot and lever-action pistols are now rarely seen and used primarily for nostalgic hunting and historical reenactment. Fully-automatic machine pistols are uncommon in civilian usage because of their generally poor recoil-control
