It was clear from the beginning that Lydon had plenty to say for himself, and he was soon writing lyrics to accompany the new tunes being written by bass player Glen Matlock, and with a small selection of original material, and with their name shortened to The Sex Pistols, the band played their first gig at St. Lydon’s rehearsal was allegedly met with fits of laughter by the rest of the band, but impressed by his attitude and natural showmanship, McLaren persuaded the group to continue with Lydon, thus bringing to an end their long search for a frontman. He was invited to rehearse with his band, and it was later that evening that John Lydon, then nineteen, first met Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock, members of a band who had been known as The Strand, but had recently changed their name to QT Jones and the Sex Pistols. It was August 1975 when Malcolm McLaren, on the lookout for a frontman for a band he had begun to manage a year earlier, spotted a young man sauntering past his shop in South-west London wearing a t-shirt that declared ‘I Hate Pink Floyd’.

It was banned not only by the BBC but also by nearly every independent radio station, making it the "most heavily censored record in British history". Through an obscenity-laced television interview in December 1976 and their May 1977 single "God Save the Queen", attacking Britons' social conformity and deference to the Crown, they popularised punk rock in the UK. Under the management of Malcolm McLaren, the band attracted controversies that both captivated and appalled Britain. Matlock was replaced by Sid Vicious in early 1977. The Sex Pistols originally comprised vocalist John Lydon (known at the time by his stage name " Johnny Rotten"), guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook and bassist Glen Matlock. Their fashion and hairstyles have been credited as a significant influence on punk image, and they are often associated with anarchism within music. They were responsible for initiating the punk movement in the United Kingdom and inspiring many later punk and alternative rock musicians.

Although their initial career lasted just two and a half years, they are regarded as one of the most groundbreaking acts in the history of popular music. The Sex Pistols were an English punk rock band that formed in London in 1975.
