 Sex
Pistols Vs Rock Hall |
antiMusic reports: The Sex Pistols have told
the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame where they can stuff their induction. Steve
Jones, Johnny Rotten (John Lydon) and Glen Matlock have each spoken out
about the induction of the band next month at a "gala black tie affair".
Steven Jones opened his radio show on Los
Angeles Indie 103.1 on Friday with these words, "We're not going to the
museum. You can shove it. You can have it," according to SexPistols.net.
Glen Matlock told The Independent on Sunday,
"It's nothing to do with the bands - it's all to do with business. When
I first heard about it I was quite excited... but then I found I was going
to have to pay thousands of pounds to take my kids. It's just a big corporate
event, a bunch of Herberts in suits... just a money-making opportunity
for multi-million shysters."[for the most punk rock response see the full

D'Amour had recorded to his laptop on Protools before his death. [see full
