The Sex Pistols may be in their 60s, but it appears the former wild punk rockers cannot shake off their anarchists' tag.
Drummer Paul Cook told how he had the mick taken out of him for eating olives at a friend’s house.
The 65-year-old said: “He’d put this spread on. He said this bizarre thing. ‘F*****g hell, a Sex Pistol eating olives. I never thought I’d see the day.’
“People don’t let you grow up and out from being a Pistol.”
The riotous group were the subject of a 2000 documentary called The Filth and the Fury which followed their career from 1975 until their split in 1978.
Paul has said he hopes the band can patch up their differences after a bitter court case overusing their music in TV drama Pistol, but now insists they would never re-form.
He said: “No, it won’t happen, 70-year-old Sex Pistols singing about anarchy? Not a pretty sight.”
Since their split, Paul, guitarist Steve Jones, 66, and 65-year-old John Lydon have got together several times to perform live.
Fourth member Sid Vicious died in 1979.
But the trio were locked in a legal battle after John refused to allow them to use the band’s hits in Danny Boyle’s Pistol.

Paul and Steve said an agreement was signed in 1998 allowing majority rights over the music. And in August, a High Court judge ruled in their favour.
Paul told Mojo magazine: “I thought it was time to stand up for ourselves. We signed an agreement and it’s important to me that people adhere to that and not just tear it up when it suits them.”
He previously said: “Hopefully, it’s not broken forever, our relationship, I hope we talk again at some stage.”
