Danny Boyle's Sex Pistol miniseries Pistol sticks closer to the historical record than recent biopics. But like all projects of this nature, it takes certain liberties with the truth. Here are 8 of them. ⬇️
. But like all projects of this nature, it takes certain liberties with the truth, some small and some quite large. Here are eight of them.Years before they were Sex Pistols, childhood friends Steve Jones and Paul Cook played together in rock group the Strand along with Wally Nightingale on guitar, Jim Mackin on organ, and Stephen Hayes on bass. Inwe first see them at the moment that Jones decides to change their name to the Swankers.
For the train spotters, here’s how Jones talks about their fling in his book: “When Chrissie was working at the shop she’d shut the place down and we’d put Malcolm and Vivienne [Westwood]’s gospel of Sex into practice,” he wrote. “[Another time], I had her over a bathtub at a party.” In other words, they were friends from the Sex scene that had occasional flings, but it was nothing like the deep and long-lasting relationship seen in, it seems like she’s there for years.
What actually happened is that she asked Lydon to marry her first, but it was Sid Vicious that actually agreed to do it in exchange for two quid. They gathered the necessary papers and nearly went through with it, but the registry office was closed that day for an extended holiday. “The next day wouldn’t work as Sid had to go to court for putting someone’s eye out with a glass,” Hynde wrote in her book. “You really couldn’t take him anywhere. So I never did marry Sid Vicious.
He flew back to England and began putting together the band that became the Rick Kids. When he heard the Pistols were rehearsing with Sid Vicious, he said he barely cared. And when McLaren sat him down at a pub in February and told him his future in the band was looking pretty bleak, he claims he didn’t protest much. “Malcolm, I’m just not interested anymore,” he recalled saying. “I can’t be bothered if they’re rehearsing with someone else behind my back.
