Sex Pistols@9:30
i kosmo promise not to whine, bitch, or moan about this $40 concert. it's going to be a whole different story if it's a $50+ concert :D
I agree ticket prices are getting out of hand but Im sure it would be $40+ to see them @Patriot Center or an outdoor amphitheater like Nissan or Merriweather but then in that case I wouldnt even go, Im only going to shell out the larger bux to see them in a much smaller venue. Also, if you look at their tour schedule, the 9:30 Club seems to be the smallest by far.

Wow! A huge pull by the Club! A $50 cover charge is never pleasant (if that were the case) but ticket prices just aren't an issue on this one.
The Great Rock and Roll Swindle 2003. Sex Pistols were a one album novelty act.
yeah Rhett….. And you are all excited to see drive by truckers tonight too.
So where did the info come from?
Even I might be tempted to see this, although the thought of 50 year olds singing punk songs is just so unappealing……

Yeah they're old, and yeah they're farts, but I think this should be really good. Take away all the "punk" BS hype surrounding them and Never Mind the Bollocks is a killer album with killer songs that are still often imitated and never duplicated. I didn't see them in 96 but calling the tour "Filthy Lucre" was dubious from the start. Now, assumedly, they're touring w/ nothing to prove, not attempting to be relevant, and maybe not even doing it just for the money. Sure Johnny Rotten/Lydon usually comes across these days an embarrassing characterature like Diamond David Lee Roth, but I'd think Steve Jones can still tap into 1976-77 and the rest will follow.

Yes, I'll pay $12 to see the Drive By Truckers tonight, but I sure as hell won't pay $50 to see them 25 years from now.
Of course if the Pistols play Bumbershoot, they'd be good for a laugh. I do see that a couple of the Bumbershoot days are conspicuously abset from their itinerary.

I think I saw him playing guitar at a club for Iggy Pop 10 or 12 years ago. Did I, or is it just my imagination?

The pistols are living legends, they had a direct influence on so many bands.
i have to agree with rhett on this one. i think i'll stay home and clip my toenails.
If enough music writers start sucking their dicks, they will become legends just like the Pistols.
People still know who Jethro Tull and Deep Purple are 25 years later.

I can't imagine it being very good seeing a bunch of 50 year old blokes pretending to be pissed off at the estabishment that probably flew over in first class and are staying in the Four Seasons while playing in DC. The great memories of them in their heyday are good enough for me on this one.
Some of the old bands can get away with reunion gigs, other's can't in my opinion…the pistols are in the latter.

If the music press sucked the pistols dick or no, they were a very influential British band.
And never mind the bollocks still sounds pretty good now.
But Mankie hit the nail on the head…. Rich 50 year olds snarling could really put my back up.
So I am sitting on the fence, but I think I might go, at least if I do I will be able to moan about it for months.
My question is…who will the support be? Does Johnny Rotten even like any other bands?
I heard it was going to be the Drive By Truckers.
