‚…short, sharp, to the point, minimal. ‚Never Mind the Bollocks‘ is a blackmail note – and we got you all to pay up!‘ – JOHN LYDON ‚When we first went in Wessex [recording studios] we went in through this side door. Freddie Mercury was there doing a vocal take and we walked right through with our guitars. He threw a wobbler.‘ – STEVE JONES “God Save The Queen‘ was definitely the pinnacle. It all went sour after that.‘ – PAUL COOK ‚Malcolm was a shit-stirrer. I think he’s got a short attention span. He played this game of pitching me against John.
