The Sex pistols are to re-release God Save The Queen :w00t:

Public relations expert Diana Mather said re-releasing it is a "PR stunt"

For me that level of expertise at the BBC is certainly well worth the license fee money.:sneaky:

As an aside, has any band ever sold out more than the sex pistols?

Er... not sure about surpassing them, but I'd include:
1. The Clash
2. Fleetwood Mac
3. Jefferson Airplane
4. Burl Ives - well he was fat enough to be a group...

Then what about that well known girl group, 'Mama Cass' :w00t:

Or the Greek group that said 'No' to 'Yes', 'Demis Roussos'

I'm not sure Mama Cass or Demis Roussos sold out, apart from to the pie shop. Burl Ives was a different case entirely, reporting loads of US folk singers to the McCarthy Commission as commies. Mind you, a good case could be made for Aphrodite's Child having sold out. Apologies for being a geek - I'll get my anorak.

Aswad went very commercial, does that count? And Amazulu...

Yes, and they are Metallica

Yes, and they are Metallica

Good call!

Hype it up baby...

I had a chuckle when I read this. Talentless Tit Lydon had already said a big NO to a spot on the olympic/Jubilee gig and then lo and behold out comes the CD....

He never was a rebel, that takes intelligence.
