SEX PISTOLS Frontman: Don't Call It A Reunion
October 13, 2007SEX PISTOLS frontman John Lydon, who's perhaps better known by his stage name, Johnny Rotten, has told MTV.com that he is excited for the band's upcoming reunion gigs in the U.K., which will commemorate the 30th anniversary of their seminal release, 1977's "Never Mind the Bollocks, Here's the Sex Pistols", which is slated for an expanded vinyl re-release later this month.
But according to him, this is no reunion — although that's what the band's publicists are calling it. Prior to this recent revival, the PISTOLS reformed in 1996 for a six-month tour, which included dates in Europe, North and South America, Australia and Japan.
"I don't like words like 'reunited' or 'reunion' — we just come together every now and again, when we feel the time's right," Lydon explained. "This year, the time was right because in England, they were celebrating 30 years of punk, and we let it go all year. After listening to the bands that were putting forth a load of nonsense and getting punk wrong, we thought it was about time we went back and sorted them out, and that's exactly what we're doing."
