The 10 First Time I Heard the Sex Pistols
Genesis Owusu: I would’ve been maybe like six or seven years old when I first heard the Sex Pistols in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater.
Billie Joe Armstrong (Green Day): Never Mind the Bollocks was one of the first punk records I ever heard.
Peter Hook: June the 4th, 1976: I was 20 years old and I went to see the Sex Pistols play for 50 pence in the Lesser Free Trade Hall in Manchester.
Darryl Jenifer (Bad Brains): My friend Sid McCray, who recently passed, me and him kind of was the start of Bad Brains.
Julia Cumming (Sunflower Bean): I was 10 years old, and my closest cousin — she was probably 12 — was with my mom and me for the summer.
Jason Williamson (Sleaford Mods): As a kid, six or seven years old, I remember hearing the tail end of news reports about the Sex Pistols.
