I'm actually so gutted, The Sex Pistols are one of my all time favourite bands and I was glad I got the opportunity to see them play live in 2007. It was thanks to this man that it was even possible. He is known as the Punk Prince in Britain. Without McLaren in my eyes there would not have been any British punk.Former Sex Pistols manager Malcolm McLaren dies at 64
In 1975 McLaren had started to manage The Strand, the band who would later become the Sex Pistols. His assistant, Bernie Rhodes (soon to be manager of The Clash), spotted Johnny Rotten who was then sporting green hair, and torn clothes with the words I hate scribbled on his Pink Floyd shirt. His appearance and attitude impressed McLaren and Rotten was brought in to audition as a new frontman. Rotten joined, and the band was renamed The Sex Pistols.
His agent told the BBC McLaren passed away on Thursday morning. He said McLaren died at his home after his condition suddenly got worse.

Oh man I was so gutted last night when I heard about this! I totally agree with what you said. British punk would definitely be different without him.

Re: R.I.P Malcolm McLaren
My opinion of Lydon is, he's a contradiction. Full of shit.
As for Mclaren, he pretty much manipulated John. Basically one big shit ring.
Still, R.I.p
