Sex Pistols

Back in November 1977, when the Sex Pistols graced Australia’s Countdown, they were riding the wave of their explosive debut album, *Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols*. Released just a month earlier, in October, the album served as a cultural touchstone, shaking up the music scene with its raw energy and unapologetic defiance. It's fascinating to recall that during this time, the band, often regarded as the flagbearers of punk rock, was navigating the chaos of fame, and even the constant tension among its members. In this particular interview, Paul Cook and Steve Jones bantered with Ian “Molly” Meldrum while quaffing Foster's Lager, which presented an all-too-human side of punk's bravado. And let’s not forget Malcolm McLaren lurking in the background, a reminder of the complex dynamics that defined the band. This period was crucial, marking both their triumphs and the legend of punk’s ever-present volatility.
