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.
Dive from the stage into The Filth and the Fury.

"My Sex Pistols audition began with them trying to get me drunk. Bad mistake. Im from Irish roots. I dont get drunk." - John Lydon
"I wasnt real impressed with America until I got to Frisco and we met some kids and tasted smack there. Its really fucking good. You should try it sometime." - Sid Vicious
"Steve and Paul are a pair of sheep. Theyre terrified of anything to do with drugs or, you know, blah-blah, anything like that." - Sid Vicious
"I didnt have a life. I had nothing to lose. And I was a miserable sod deep down inside. So the more havoc I created, the more I felt better at doing it because I was a tortured soul. I think fighting came through lack of musical ability. It was like Oh, this is what gets you headlines. " - Steve Jones
"I like to incite people to be violent and nasty...so I can be violent back. I like violence. It turns me on." - Sid Vicious
"In my wildest, worst nightmare fantasies, I would never have thought that English people could ever have disrespected themselves to the point where heroin was their be-all and end-all. What a loser, self-pitying bunch of fucking shit. I hate, loathe, and despise them. I despise Sid for it." - John Lydon
