...Sex Pistols – Greatest Hits (Kiss This) Background Knowledge / It was the mid 70’s and fresh out of England came the Sex Pistols. Led by Johnny Rotten (John Lydon) accompanied by Steve Jones on guitar, Paul Cook on drums and Glen Matlock on bass, who later left and was replaced by the infamous Sid Vicious.
