To this day, the rockers have been embroiled in legal wrangles, with John recently taking his ex- bandmates to court over the use of the group’s music in Danny Boyles’ miniseries on the band titled ‘Pistol’. The band reunited in 1996 for two years, and again between 20, before going their separates after another year’s reunion between 20. He started out for a brief period of time as a glam rocker, but then tried out for a solo career with his first album Chestnut Street Incident released by former David Bowie manager, Tony DeFries on the Mainman (division of MCA) label. ![]() The Sex Pistols last year also reissued ‘God Save the Queen’ to mark the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, before her death aged 96 in September at her beloved Balmoral estate in Scotland.Glen quit the Pistols shortly after the group launched and in 1977 was replaced by bassist Sid Vicious, who died aged 21 in 29179, John Mellencamp was born in Seymour, Indiana on October 7, 1951. He said the song would feature for “one night only” and sang the opening line: “We’re gonna save the king, It ain’t just old thing”. Glen added before the gig he would not be changing the lyrics to Sex Pistols’ iconic protest anthem ‘God Save The Queen’ because it was proving tricky to make new lines rhyme. The show took place at London’s 100 Club to support the release of his new album ‘Consequences Coming’, and he said about the gig on social media: “I wonder what kind of warrant I’ll get?! Come on down to the 100 Club this Saturday and find out.” The site said the record, being released via the UMR label, would also feature a B-side of ‘I Wanna be Me’.Įarlier this month, the band’s former bassist Glen played an updated version of ‘God Save The Queen’ at London’s 100 Club to coincide with King Charles’ coronation. But even Bjork has some lines that make me squirm.Singer John Lydon, aka Johnny Rotten, guitarist Steve Jones, drummer Paul Cook and bassist Glen Matlock, kicked off their punk careers with the 1976 anthem, and it is getting a release on coloured vinyl for the first time.Īn announcement on the Sex Pistols’ website announced it would be out 9 June, adding: “7” replica of UK single but in coloured vinyl officially for the first time. Bottom line, I am able to listen to one but not the other. But she can't help her accent, and I think somehow sells it better for me (maybe because her music and she are both so peculiar that you expect her to pronounce things like a Martian). The closest example to Alanis I can think of is Bjork, who also will torture the rhythm of English, and also sings with an accent. Mellencamp's lyrics actually echo part of an old poem written by Solomon. Sting I do like (at least in the context of the Police and his first couple solo albums), and he does do it, but gets away with it because I like the music and the sound of his voice enough to give it a pass, I guess. Like John Mellencamp, we can reach the pinnacle of our profession and amass. And FWIW I do like "You Oughta Know"-it's less lyrically objectionable and more musically compelling than her other singles, for me. I do think in Alanis's case, it's exaggerated in impact because of the odd accent she uses when she sings. I'm no fan of Henley or Mellencamp either, though I don't need to reach as far as their lyrics to tell you why. ![]() I heard these specific songs that irritated me hundreds of times.
