it's funny how it all worked back then, idol was a mate of the sex pistols,
idol originally regarded as punk, spawns a heavy metal hair guitarist and
his band and johnny rotten has steve vai play on album/cassette for public
image limited. work that one out??? i can't. isn't that everything they
weren't about?
then you factor in The Sweet and Lydon's comments how he loved the glam rock
era and it all relates back to the spawning of the sex pistols and hair
bands back to that genre, the punk and sioxsie sioux haircuts are all glam
mullet evolved. take it to the US and you get hairbands and spandex
flavoured with the hard rock americans prefered to raw british punk.. steve
stevens, billy idol, same stump (glam) different branches...
here in aus, we had 'sharpies'.
skyhooks, early ac/dc, the angels .. man theres a lyrics from 'million
dollar riff' that is a dead sweet rip off.

"Australia in the 1970s took the larrikin image to new extremes, including
our own native youth - the sharpies."
