Topic: MALCOLM MC LAREN is dead what was his main influence

- He went to the USA ===> GOO GOO DOLLS
- He went back to the UK where he had a shop in special designed clothes
- Johnny LYDON aka ROTTEN was a customer.

The Sex Pistols (under another name where busy since 1972) so WHAT WAS MALCOLM MC LAREN s REAL INFLUENCE knowing that he knew LYDON, what with Glenn MATLOCK was he replaced by SID VICIOUS?????
SO please tell me the real influence from shop owner to manager.

By bringing the Sex Pistols to the world he changed the way a whole generation thought about the music scene and in modern culture in general. It was finally OK just to do whatever you darn well pleased.

Is anything really made up of zeros and ones??

Alvee, he brought PUNK from the USA, just like 20 years before SAILORS brought records with blues and so the COPY-ORIGINALCAT rock started in the UK and went back by bands as Animals, Beatles, Stones (Chuck Berry songs)

FOR ME same story, but he was genial too improve punk.

Re: MALCOLM MC LAREN is dead what was his main influence

I guess I'm talking from a Uk point of view. The punk scene of the US was slightly different but what it did was let kids know that they didn't have to listen to what the record companies were putting out and they could go out and do it themselves. In the same way the The Beatles showed that you didn't have to be American to write your own songs, punk showed that you didn't have to be a great musician or songwriter to go out and have fun, form bands with your mates and just do it because you can. McLaren will always be remembered for bringing us the Pistols and pushing fashion in a new direction and I for one am so glad that he did.
