Brendan Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I think perhaps the comments on the Led Zeppelin thread regarding how a band should be remembered apply equally in this instance. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/7000180.stm Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1456-i-see-the-sex-pistols-are-reforming-again/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jah Lush Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I'd much rather go and see the Pistols again though than bloody Led Zepplin and at ?37.50 a ticket and just down the road in Brixton I'm definitely up for that.

Brendan Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 My cynicism aside I too am going to make the effort to go. Not least because as a teenager growing up in SA if you had told me that one day I would get the chance to go a sex pistols gig I would never have believed you in a million years.

lozzyloz Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 OMG Brendan, that's like wearing really flared trousers with a high waistband now because it was cool in the 70's and you didn't have a pair then :)) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/1456-i-see-the-sex-pistols-are-reforming-again/#findComment-39657 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brendan Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 What?s wrong with flared trousers? I have a pair that I?m saving specially for the forum party on Friday! I never got the opportunity to wear them in the 70s and feel I missed out. Anyway in 1990 when I was a morose teenager a kind family friend gave me a much listened to record in a tatty sleeve. It was called Never Mind the Bollocks and it had a major influence on how my musical tastes developed.

Keef Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 At least they're charging a reasonable price, unlike more "reformed" bands. Still can't be arsed with them though.

*Bob* Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I imagine it would be like watching 'The young Ones' again.. one of those things which broke the mould but didn't age that well.

Jah Lush Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 I was 19 in '77 and never got to see them at the time and I loved 'em when they came out. Never Mind The Bollocks is a phenomenal album. They were like a breath fresh air after all that boring prog shit that went before them. I got to see them in '96 in Finsbury Park though and believe me they were magnificent. I'm definitely up for seeing them again.John Lydon's a great front man and always good for a laugh. I don't care if people think it's some sort of nostalgia trip for old punks. They were the only real punk band that mattered. They gave the music business a hugely deserved kick up the arse and are culturally vitally important to those times. They were it. So bollocks! I'm gonna get tickets if I can.

Brendan Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 I was contemplating it and now that I?ve heard you say they were that good in ?96 I?m definitely going to. So in the words of Fat Mike; ?Call me fat fuck geriatric punk rock. Give me stickers I deserve.?? Even thought the only thing I did in ?77 was get born.

giggirl Posted September 20, 2007 Share Posted September 20, 2007 I daresay the Pistols' original fans are now working in the city and earning big bonuses.The Thursday night gig in Brixton has sold out on pre-sale on both Ticketmaster and Ticketweb. My gut feeling is that Friday and Saturday nights will be added very quickly - so don't panic. There will be a frenzy tomorrow morning at 9.00am when the tickets go on sale - but don't waste your energy. Keep hitting "refresh" on your PC and hold out for the Friday and Saturday night gigs.If you want to check the presale to see if more tickets are added today then go to www.ticketmaster.co.uk - the presale password is "Vacant".

I'm hoping for Saturday night tickets if they materialise.

Brendan Posted September 20, 2007 Author Share Posted September 20, 2007 Well there is no one booked at Brixton on the Friday or Saturday so they are leaving it open as a possibility. Friday or Saturday would be better. How glaringly un-punk is that? I am worried about having to go to work the next day with a hangover.

I can't take the guy seriously, this bloke was lambasting everything and everyone and now he lives in LA LA land!!! Meet the new boss, same as the old boss!!
