Band Name Origins:
- It was when Malcom McLaren wanted a band to promote his clothes from his and Vivienne Westwood's shop "sex". He wanted Sex cos it was the name of his shop and he also wanted it to be like 'Sexy Young Assassins' so he thought of Pistols as the assassin bit. So you get The Sex Pistols. This is true as it's on the Filth and the Fury (Pistol's DVD). Submitted by: PunkRocker666
- It comes from part of a plant. The 'sex organs' of a plant are called it's 'sex pistals'. Malcolm McLaren simply changed the spelling to 'Pistols' to make it more aggressive. Submitted by: Klif Fuller

K., listed in some reports with a blank line where the title should be.

What A Band is Best Known For (aside from their music):
"A really crazy television appearance."
They were the last minute fill-ins for Queen. Johnny Rotten swore a lot and the guy in charge of the show was allegedly drunk, so he just kept encouraging the language.
