The Clash Happy for Sex Pistols Hall of Fame induction
By Trent McMartin Mar 14, 2006, 21:34 GMT
In the seventies, The Clash and the Sex Pistols were portrayed as rivals in the media but Clash guitarist Mick Jones admitted recently he was always a fan of the British punk rockers despite the rivalry.
"We were great rivals, said Jones. "We were sort of allies at the same time. You know, we come from the same kind of place, and we were both actually from West London, mostly. So we had that. And we were all really good friends with them as well as being rivals to them."
After a few years on the ballot, the Sex Pistols are finally getting into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, however the remaining members have announced they don't plan to attend tonight's induction ceremony in New York City.
The Clash were inducted in 2003, but did not play due to the death of frontman Joe Strummer a few months prior.
VH1 will broadcast a taped version of the Hall of Fame ceremony at 9 p.m. ET on March 21st.
