Sex Pistols Reunion: Worth Every Penny…or Pence
Of all the rock reunions, the Sex Pistols concert is the one which makes the most sense.
The Sex Pistols were all about anger and frustration, and the only thing angstier than a punk nihilist kid is a miserable old fart.
Johnny Rotten never did no gymnastics, so he’s not likely to embarrass himself like David Lee Roth. He wasn’t a yoga touting sex symbol who pranced around the stage, so we don’t have to worry about Sting-like deterioration.
The Sex Pistols sounded like crap, could barely play their instruments, and just released one studio album. Sid Vicious was so bad, they used to unplug his bass guitar, so whoever replaces him will make the group respectable…which is TOTALLY against the spirit of punk. And it deserves an artist warning label.
If you’re wondering if the concert is worth it, imagine this: A sea of baldheaded geezers pathetically trying to rock the Mohawk and needing medical attention trying to do the pogo! That alone guarantees prime entertainment value.

Didn’t they already reunite (with original member Glen Matlock, who was replaced by Sid) several years ago?

I heard a rumor that one of the ‘members’ was a Steve Jones clone for the ‘96 reunion. A robot replaced Johnny Rotten for the 2002 reunion. As far as the 2005 reunion, ‘Paul Cook’ was actually a hologram!
