Sex Pistols

When the Sex Pistols took to the stage at the KROCK Festival in California on September 14, 2002, they were riding a wave of nostalgia and renewed interest. This live performance came years after their legendary debut album, *Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols,* which had dropped in 1977 and left an indelible mark on punk rock. By 2002, the band was mostly active in reunion tours, having rekindled their connection with fans who had long considered them icons of rebellion and raw energy. Interestingly, the show at Inland Invasion highlighted the band's lasting impact, as the set included classics that generations of fans still adored, like “No Feelings,” showcasing their enduring appeal. It’s quite a kick to think about how a band that once set out to destroy the status quo still had the power to electrify an audience decades later. It’s like they paused life in the fast lane but never truly put the brakes on their legacy.
