Matlock was replaced by the notorious Sid Vicious in 1977, despite the fact that Sid couldn't play his instrument. McLaren was recruited to manage, and the Pistols were off, raising hell and wreaking havoc on London, the UK and Western Europe, driving the British punk movement with abrasive rock and roll and arrogant anarchist lyrics. Several name changes, a couple different lineups, and a few short years later, the first official incarnation of the Sex Pistols was born, with Paul Cook on drums, Glen Matlock on bass, Steve Jones on guitar, and Johnny Rotten on vocals. The Sex Pistols' early origins were in 1972 when a group of deviant British boys began to gravitate around a clothing boutique managed by Malcolm McLaren. Despite their short lifespan, punk music is still reeling from the impact of this flamboyant antiestablishment gang. If there is one band in the history of British culture that reeks of controversy and influence, it's the Sex Pistols.
