Out on the publicity trail to promote his new autobiography 'Anger Is an Energy: My Life Uncensored,' former Sex Pistols singer John Lydon has unburdened himself of lingering guilt he's long felt regarding the 1979 death of the band's bassist, Sid Vicious.
When the Sex Pistols released ‘Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols’ in 1977, it sparked off a musical and social revolution in England and became one of the landmark albums of its time. To mark the record’s 35th anniversary, Universal Music UK will release a special deluxe box set version on Sept. 24.
He played a rock star in both ‘Forgetting Sarah Marshall’ and ‘Get Him to the Greek’ and did his best REO Speedwagon cover for the recent ‘Rock of Ages’ movie. Now actor/comedian Russell Brand will take center stage at the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Summer Olympics to perform a pair of classics.
Last weekend was New York’s CBGB Festival, and judging from the reports, saying that it rocked would be an understatement. The festival was put together to help commemorate the history of the legendary club, one known for its underground culture and utter grungy rock feel.
