The Filth and the Fury: The Voices of the Sex Pistols

by Sex Pistols, Julien Temple

The official companion to the Fine Line Features documentary film.

The Sex Pistols burst onto the music scene in 1976 and smashed up everything they touched. Their revolutionary sound energized disaffected youth worldwide while their larger-than-life singer, John Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten), and bass player, Sid Vicious, captured headlines throughout the Pistols' twenty-six-month reign as the lads who created punk.

For the first time, John Lydon, Paul Cook, Glen Matlock, Steve Jones, and Sid Vicious tell their story together in their own words through new interviews and archival material. Raw and engaging, The Filth and the Fury captures the emotions and egos that fueled the Pistols' rise to fame and ultimately brought them down.

I loved this book. I really liked what Johnny Rotten said about "Quit trying to be everyone's friend and start trying to be everyone's enemy". It like... gave me purpose ha ha ha XD

I think this belongs to my brother. Again- needed something to read at my parents home, this worked! Very interesting actually. I like all the England "stuff" :)

Very thin book that appears to be just quotes taken from the film. Quality of photographs is none to good. Interesting if you do not have access to the film, otherwise just for diehard fans.
