September 19, 200718 yr Wow, it really has become a band wagon of sorts hasn't it, everyone doing a one off show, or a one last world tour.. LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Punk rock icons the Sex Pistols will reunite for the first time in four years to play a single London show in November, the band said Tuesday. The Nov. 8 concert at the Brixton Academy is being billed as a 30th anniversary celebration of their groundbreaking 1977 album, "Never Mind the Bollocks -- Here's the Sex Pistols." But guitarist Steve Jones, a Los Angeles resident for more than 20 years, sounded distinctly underwhelmed when he mentioned the show on his midday radio show. ADVERTISEMENT Click Here "Big deal," he said. "Nice to be over there at four in the evening when it's dark, fog and cold. Getting mugged in Brixton. Can't wait." The Sex Pistols were one of the best-known English rock bands to emerge from the short-lived punk revolution in the mid-1970s. Four bored kids with limited musical ability, they swore on live television, got beaten up and perfectly captured the economic malaise sweeping Britain. "Never Mind the Bollocks," powered by such caustic singles as "Anarchy In The UK" and "God Save The Queen," topped the U.K. charts in October 1977. But the band broke up the following January during a disastrous American tour. Jones, along with singer John Lydon, drummer Paul Cook, and original bass player Glen Matlock -- who had been replaced by the late Sid Vicious in February 1977 -- reunited in 1996 for a world tour. They also toured North America in 2003. Tickets for the show at the 4,900-capacity Brixton Academy go on sale on Friday, priced at 37.50 pounds ($75). But netherless, I'm stoaked all the bands I listen to are doing a reunion, haha. *Waiting patiently for Hendrix to announce his come back tour*
