The Sex Pistols were a pioneering punk rock band from London, England, formed in 1975 by vocalist Johnny Rotten (John Lydon) and bassist Glenn Matlock. The band's early days were marked by controversy and notoriety, with their debut single "Anarchy in the U.K." sparking outrage among critics and authorities alike.

Despite their short-lived career, which lasted only from 1975 to 1978, the Sex Pistols left a lasting impact on the music industry. Their raw energy, rebellious attitude, and rejection of mainstream values helped pave the way for future punk bands like The Clash, The Damned, and The Jam. The band's iconic single "God Save the Queen" became an anthem for Britain's youth and a symbol of anti-establishment sentiment.

The Sex Pistols' live shows were notorious for their intensity and chaos, with stage invasions, fights, and even occasional destruction of equipment becoming commonplace. Their final gig at London's Winterland in January 1978 was marked by a particularly violent altercation between Johnny Rotten and the band's manager, Malcolm McLaren, which ultimately led to the group's demise.
