music.msn.com/music/article.aspx?news=276311>1=7702All four original members — John Lydon, Steve Jones, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock — will play a one-time concert at London's Brixton Academy on Nov. 8, the band announced Tuesday on the music Web site www.nme.com.Though not being a punk myself I was a fan of Punk back in the early 80's and SP was one of my favorites. I can't imagine the band without Sid but you take what you can get.

Cripes, I'd say "S P O O N !", but the stupid PC spellchecker decided that's a naughty word!

I've never listened to a whole Sex Pistols song, but have heard bits of their infamous "God Save The Queen." Heh, that's probably why I didn't bother checking them out. The kind of punk they play is too raw for me. Their musicianship was said to be awful. True? (Yeah, I know, musicianship wasn't the calling card of punk.)

The Pistols weren't exactly Pink Floyd but in the realm of Punk pioneers their musical ability rate average on the "punk talent" scale. I didn't like a lot of what SP produced but there are just some songs that stick with me that were fairly competent and memorable. My favorite Punk band was and will forever be the Ramones but I have enough fond memories of SP to be intrigued by the reunion. |

i differ here. Jones was a great guitarist. Matlock was more than adequate on base. Cook was a good drummer. Sid was the only disaster. so Jones and Cook had to cover for him a lot. Johnny's vocals were well matched for the genre.

i differ here. Jones was a great guitarist. He was ok, but absolutely nowhere near great. I could teach you his entire catalog in a week, and I'm not even a guitarist. |
