Johnny Rotten The True Tale of Johhny Rotten Together they were legendary, revolutionary. They were among the first of their generation to publically vocalize a resistance to England’s head figure with lyrics like: “God bless the Queen and her fascist regime,” thus sparking a widespread underground rise of anarachy in England and on to the United States. They were among the first to utilize a raw and rebellious form of rock, later coined “punk rock.” They were the Sex Pistols. Together they were invincible. Each member feeling shunned by society, channeled their anger and hostility through a music that pushed societal boundries and most defintely questioned authority. While the Pistols were known for their cocky attitudes and and self-righteous behavior, each member (all four orginally named John) had their own personalities. John Lydon, who went by the moniker “Johnny Rotten,” was actually shy and introvertive. John Simon Richie, “Sid Vicious,” was quite the opposite. Never really knowing who he was (or never really bothering to discover) Simon Ritchie decided to take on the role of Sid, and the Sex Pistols’s bad-boy rebellious image became his identity.
