Ex Agnostic Front leadman, Roger Miret and his band, The Disasters have signed with Sailors Grave records. Sailors Grave is an offshoot of Thorp Records and seem to be building a really good roster of bands. US Bombs, The Ducky Boys, The Kings of Nuthin’ to name just a few. Roger and the Disasters are in the studio now finishing up “My Riot”.
For $29.95 you can purchase the latest Rock & Roll Hall Fame Museum Guide Book. In it you will find the following:
July 1976
“The Ramones perform at The Roundhouse in London. They are approached by future members of The Clash, Pretenders, Damned and Sex Pistols, and asked how to form a band.”
This is what John Lydon had to say:
“… the very night The Ramones were at this Roundhouse thing, I was actually playing a live gig at Sheffield, alright, the Sex Pistols were already up and at it mate, so it’s historically incorrect. It’s a lie.”
This is on Lydon’s website:
On July 4th 1976 the Sex Pistols (and The Clash) played the Black Swan, Sheffield. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame are blatantly re-writing history. How can the Sex Pistols have anything to do with lies like that? Of course, we know better, but thousands of visitors to that museum are being mislead. And it’s just not good enough.
Tommy Lee had to take tonight off for a show due to tendonitis in his hands. Instead of cancelling tonights show in Red Deer Alberta the band called up Harvey Warren a local musician in a few bands one of which is Broken Toyz who cover Motley songs all the time.
ITV wants to make their award show more fun. Back to boozing, brawling and good ol’ Rock and Roll. They have decided to shoot the next show live and want to give the Sex Pistols a lifetime achievement award. They are begging the Pistols to play the headliner slot at the next event.
