nope... steve jones was on board with iggy for awhile.  i missed those shows of course.

I can't imagine it being very good seeing a bunch of 50 year old blokes pretending to be pissed off at the estabishment that probably flew over in first class and are staying in the Four Seasons while playing in DC. The great memories of them in their heyday are good enough for me on this one.
 
 Some of the old bands can get away with reunion gigs, other's can't in my opinion...the pistols are in the latter.

Are you insinuating that you think DBTs will be as big as Tull or Purple? Somehow I doubt it.
 
 If the music press sucked the pistols dick or no, they were a very influential British band.
 
 And never mind the bollocks still sounds pretty good now.
 
 But Mankie hit the nail on the head.... Rich 50 year olds snarling could really put my back up.
 
 So I am sitting on the fence, but I think I might go, at least if I do I will be able to moan about it for months.

My question is...who will the support be? Does Johnny Rotten even like any other bands?

I heard it was going to be the Drive By Truckers.

Shane and jim ker are not singing about "anarchy in the UK" and all that other teenage angst stuff, while lapping up a life of luxury from the royalties. That was my point Kosmo. If you want to go see them then God bless, but for me it would spoil the nostalga of it all. I guess my safety pin earing will have to stay in my shoebox collection!

johnny will like anyone as long as they pay him enough to be on the tour

[kosmo vinyl]

not very many people in the us ever got to see them in their heyday... you had the opportunity and i was taking the piss.  blur right now is the same for me... saw a great show many years ago at what i was feel their near their peak, not sure if i want to see them now.

Music is just entertainment. It could be really entertaining watching nearly 50 year old guys jumping up and down on stage.....
 
 Where is your Zimmer?
 
 My grandad told me you would be good.
 
 Oh I can just imagine the heckles already.

[thirsty moore]

I thought you all hated each other...

Where is Sid?

[Mobius]

Also contemporaries of Television who were great in March.  Nothing wrong with Joe Strummer the last time he played the Club.  Sorry to say I've never seen Iggy Pop, but he's still got it.  When the music holds up, age just is not an issue.
