Description:John Lydon had recognised the possibilities of exploiting the event the previous autumn when he started to write "No Future", later retitled " God Save the Queen " by manager Malcolm McLaren. Recorded several times until its mocking scorn and guitar thunder were fine-tuned, the track would prove the zenith of the Pistols' short career, the moment when the group's ideas of subversion were perfectly married to music and imagery. The Jamie Reid posters that put a safety pin through the Queen's lip and obliterated her portrait with "blackmail lettering" were themselves acts worthy of trial for sedition in some eyes, while in the previous Elizabethan era a character called Johnny Rotten jeering that Queen Bess was "no human being" would surely have been locked in the Tower. Instead, Lydon and the Pistols were merely banned from the airwaves, though the group would pay a high price, being hassled by police and attacked by nationalist thugs.
