It has been 30 years since the one and only album released by punk band The Sex Pistols, titled ‘Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols’.
But new reports say that Johnny Rotten, Glen Matlock, Steve Jones & Paul Cook are ready to hit the studio again and may release a new album this year.
Last year, the band re-recorded ‘Anarchy In The UK’ for Guitar Hero III. A new version of ‘Pretty Vacant’ was done at the same time but remains unreleased. Later this year, the Pistols will reform for a fully-fledged tour of Festivals. The new material is to modernize the set list.
‘Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols’ was their one and only studio album. It was released in October 1977. Johnny Rotten left the group in January 1978. It was truly a short story.

The Sex Pistols are facing a $100 fine after openly flouting a smoking ban at a concert in London. The punk icons were playing at London’s Brixton Academy when the band lit up several cigarettes on stage, breaking the new law which came into force on July 1, banning smoking in all enclosed public places. A mere $100 for openly flouting a smoking ban, isn’t that a complete joke or what, the rules need to be relooked at and the rules for gigs need to be revaluated. For fans smoking at such gigs the fine of $100 is fine but for these super rich bands it should be a cool hundred thousand $$$ so that they would pay attention to the rules. Now come on you clumsy police officials you can do better, you are putting such a small fine that anyone would be happy to break the rules and hog the headlines. The London police are like inviting them to break the rules, pay a $100 and you can go away with a simple thank you.

Reunited punk rock icons the Sex Pistols will warm up for their English tour with a private club show in Los Angeles on October 25, a gig that will mark their first public performance in four years.
The quartet will play the Roxy Theatre, a Sunset Strip venue with room for about 500 people. After that, they begin a four-night stand at London’s Brixton Academy, beginning November 8, followed by a show in Manchester.
The reunion of singer John Lydon, guitarist Steve Jones, bass player Glen Matlock and drummer Paul Cook is being billed as a 30th anniversary celebration of their groundbreaking 1977 album, “Never Mind the Bollocks — Here’s the Sex Pistols.”
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. Punk rock figurehead Sid Vicious, who had replaced Matlock, died of a drug overdose in 1979.
The original foursome reunited in 1996 for a world tour. They also toured North America in 2003. The Sex Pistols were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame last year, but refused to show up, sending a rude, handwritten note instead.

Sex Pistols frontman Johnny Rotten has ridiculed Sting’s decision to reform his band The Police, branding them “soggy old dead carcasses”. Rotten, who this week announced his punk band would perform a one-off reunion gig in London later this year, likened the band’s music to “letting air out of a balloon.” Such mean words from someone who’s a “soggy old carcass” himself! The Sex Pistols enjoyed some degree of fame (or should I say notoriety?) in their day…they were a fad…but their songs have not reached the same classic status as The Police’s songs. Mr. Rotten has no right to insult The Police, who have always been a far superior band to his own. Mr. Rotten, let’s see what people have to say about YOUR band’s reunion gig. And why try and insult and create a bad image for a band that has achieved so much more that his band ever set out to do, aim higher achieve higher.
