THE REVIEW
At an unspecified hour, in an unspecified moment of life, I find myself reviewing one of the bands that has sparked the most interest in me. Let's start with the fact that it’s the year '77. Some bad boys set out with the idea of making a record that could get them the money needed for heroin, and they end up playing the part of the drug injected into the veins of their great fans who follow them everywhere because punk is not music but an expression of oneself.
Punk, like the skinhead movement, begins with a workers' movement that will then open up to more people, with the necessary nuances attributed to it.
From the Working Class originates the ideal of the shaved head, work, clashes against the police, and strikes made in the factory against the boss.
It plants its imposing roots in this awkward period for England of the gentry and affluent bourgeoisie, punk from an improvised style that the very Sex Pistols "invented," yes, because punk attire originates with them, from them.
The Sensual Pistols with a Sid Vicious, who was the emblem of an idle, lazy, and indifferent generation, came out with Never Mind The Bollocks, a complete CD but above all very, very, very punk!
A defiant CD that the singer Jonny (gennarino) Rotten managed to emphasize with his unstructured and exaggerated voice, which sometimes almost went off-key in concerts....
The energy they transfer with "Anarchy In The U.K.," "Liar," "No feelings," "God Save The Queen" and "Holiday In The Sun" is like a bomb about to explode.
Even though the punk era that started, in my opinion, with The WHO ends with the Sex Pistols in the '70s, except for a few rare cases, thus marking the end of punk and the beginning of a new wave that starts with the '80s, disco, with the "studio 54" indeed it was no longer fashionable to pierce your ears, but it was cool to dance in the disco.
Even in an ordinary day, Sid Vicious left, during a harsh winter, he wasn’t good, he pretended to play, but with the style he had off stage, he demonstrated that punk is always punk in any case...
What remains of Sid is the emblem of a fiery musical season, a memory of Joe Strummer who told of one time at the Pub, dear Sid injected himself with a dose of heroin and pub toilet water.....this is punk!
ded to: those who believe being punk means secretly smoking a cigarette….to Dexter..and to dreams that shatter easily….time passes, people change…THE SEXY IS ALWAYS HERE!

Sex Pistols
Sex Pistols were an English punk rock band formed in London, widely credited as a key catalyst of the UK punk movement. They released one studio album, "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols" (1977), and broke up in 1978 after a turbulent, highly publicized run.16 Reviews

An attitude that deeply changed an era, an attitude that finds and has found one of its preferential communication channels in music.
"I am an antichrist, I am an anarchist..." Unhinged, irreverent, uncomfortable, and annoying... In short, fundamental.

Nevermind sweeps everything away; it’s a manifesto and a birth.
They are objectively ungovernable... iconoclasts with the sole purpose of offending.
By joe strummer
"God Save The Queen is perhaps the absolute pinnacle of punk rebellion; a spit in the face of everything, authority, religion, culture."
"The Sex Pistols were the true heralds of punk only during the period when they performed violent and nihilistic concerts; the very act of producing a record already goes against its founding principle."
By carlo cimmino
We listened in silence. We were shaken and almost frightened.
I thought there was nothing more punk than a woman smiling like that.

Listening to the CD was 40 minutes of fun and enjoyable listening.
The true dimension of this music is live, pogo and sweat all together inevitably.
