Did anyone else read this (http://www.nme.com/news/105293.htm)? Apparently it will be the original line up...hmmm. I can't see it being good, but who knows.

I saw the Pistols reunion last year in LA and they kicked ass. I would recommend it.

yes it's a total sellout and unless it's at the 9:30 club i ain't going to a go-go. saw them on the filthy lucre tour and had a great time, but it's not they have new material or anything.
say what you will... but at least glen matlock was a real musician and not someone brought to play the part of the goof. sid very rarely play on time in key, he basically leapt about stage hitting the bass strings when he pleased. so seeing the orginal members will be a better musical experience than the version that made that faithful journey through the south. i'm sure it would have been worth it see johnny and sid attempt to take the piss out of the audience.

seeing as the sex pistols will never record new material which will result in an hour show tops and it will probably be at nissan... i got to thinking (dangerous that) what co-headling/support act would it take for me to see this show.
and to make it fun, what would yours be... but with the following guidelines
1. It has to be a band that wont otherwise be heading to the area for a couple years. i.e. a one off US tour only with The Sex Pistols.
2. It has to be a band that the audience wont tear to shreds. i.e. Belle & Sebtainstan,
3. If it's another reunion tour it has to be a band that can be realistically reunited. i.e. Without Stiv Bator any The Dead Boys reunion band wouldn't qualify.
My very short list
New Order
Iggy & The Stooges
-
Kosmo!
Sham 69
The Stranglers (although I'd say pistols should support the Stranglers)
The Damned
How are those for starters?
a couple more
The Boomtown Rats
The Undertones
-
yes to the Undertones
the rest no... The Damned play around these parts about once a year.
-
I saw the Filthy Lucre tour as well. I wish it wasn't at George Mason. It seemed so sterile. So passionless. I would still go see them at a small club; I would most likely skip a large venue, unless, of course, 2 or more of the below listed bands joined in.
As far as other acts with 'em....
X-Ray Spex (I think I would wet myself at that show; heck, just the thought of it...)
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Eater
Gang of Four
Nina Hagen
The Stranglers, Damned, and Iggy would also be good.

you don't like the Stranglers????
My God man...what's wrong with you?
-
Stranglers are ok... but i don't see them as being worthy of seating in traffic for two plus hours getting out of nissan
-
How about;
Dexy's Midnight Runners...before they turned all gypsy on us.
Lena Lovitch
Hazel O'Connor
-

They are one of probably two bands that I would camp out to buy tickets for.

this crossed my mind... but i can't seen them being any good live. maybe they could use the actors that protrayed them in 24 hour party people.

sorry mate, there's only one Shaun. That bloke that played him looked nothing like him by the way, they should've given me that part....the lad that played Bernard Sumner was brilliant though.

I'd rather see Lydon reform Public Image Limited with Keith Levine and the other original members. The first three ablums were brilliant.
New Order is still together (minus Gillian). I don't think they've toured the states lately but were doing the festivals in the UK last year promoting the Get Ready album. I think they're working on a new album now.
The Stone Roses and The Smiths would be the bands I'd like to see reformed.

I agree, I'd go see PIL before the pistols at this point.
How about the original Waterboys line up?
-
i'd go to a sex pistols & smiths show just to see the fury created when the smiths fans bumrush the stage with their flowers for morrissey.
the orginial waterboys good, but don't see the fit.
the stone roses great, but again not a good fit with all those sid vicious t-shirt wearing sex pistols fans. i think those of us who hear the sex pistols first, stone roses second while growing up would enjoy the pairing. the younger set who idolize sid aren't going to appreciate stone roses.

I think the topic changed direction slightly to bands we'd like to see do a reunion gig, not who would support the pistols.

Siouxsie & The Banshees just put out a live cd over here called The Seven Year Itch - Live. It was recorded last year at the London Shepherd's Bush Empire. So I guess there would always be the chance to see them supporting the Pistols. Naaaaah! I'd expect Blink 182.

..and the Blink 182 fans would be thinking "who the hell are these" when the pistols walked on stage.

I don't think so. I saw Stiff Little Fingers in DC well past their prime and the show was full of kids who knew all of the lyrics. I think the kids are more excepting of the old music than us old f*cks are of their music. Well, not all of us.
-
What is it that the kids are excepting of?

Did I word that right? I mean that the a lot of the kids don't discriminate as much. If they like punk rock, they'll like Rancid, Greenday, etc. but also know the old punk bands and their music.

I believe the word is "accepting", not "excepting". :)

Apparently, you haven't met Markie, aka Andrew WK, yet. :roll:
