 We hope you enjoyed Brixton as much as we did. From Thursday's
Lord of The Manor right through to Wednesday's Roadrunner
twice.
No two nights were the same.
Baghdad to the White Cliffs of Dover; via sunny Southend. This
is the Sex Pistols.
And it's not over yet. It's time to take the High Road to see
our friends in the North. Enjoy. We will.

Honkey
Donk Vacation
The Honkey Donkey is still having a blast. And he's not finished

One more London, and then it's time for his Northern vacation.
It's ALL good, and you know you should.
PS: Stand down, there was no 2 bob... |

Sex
Pistols Brixton Academy.
This is not a reunion. This is not nostalgia. There has been
nothing like the Sex Pistols, before or since.
See you in The Rose and Crown… |
| |
Mr
Rotten…
"Maybe
it's because we're all Londoners, but there would be no Sex Pistol
without dear old London town.
See you all at Brixton with proper feelings and
proper people all around.
From London Bridge to the Rose and Crown, all of
Britain is welcome so come on down."
John Lydon.

As
a special warm-up for the forthcoming "Holidays in the Sun" shows
in the UK, the Sex Pistols play a ‘not so-secret secret gig’ at The
Roxy in West Hollywood, Los Angeles, tomorrow Thursday,
October 25th. Tickets are in hot demand, but were only given away FREE via
competitions on Indie
103.1 FM. And no, we don't have any spare!
It's a long, long time since the Pistols played such a small venue – The
Roxy only holds around 500 people
– and Mr Rotten is really looking forward to playing
an up close and personal show to his
"locals"! |
| |
 In
the lead up to The Roxy show John has a new feature interview with
the Orange
County Register, in Los Angeles.
Update: The page now includes a link to a photo
gallery of the Roxy gig. The gallery features 18 shots taken by the
OC Register's Kelly A Swift. |

 The Sex
Pistols new re-recordings of 'Pretty Vacant' & 'Anarchy
in UK' are now available to download via iTunes.
'Never Mind The Bollocks' is also available to download officially
for the first time in North America.
'Pretty Vacant' & 'Anarchy
in UK' were re-recorded especially for use in the forthcoming 'Guitar
Hero III - Legends of Rock' video game (see
below for more info); and are now available for the first
time ANYWHERE as individual downloads exclusively
via the
iTunes store worldwide. The tracks are also
available in high quality DRM-free audio format.
After being approached for inclusion in 'Guitar
Hero III' by the game's publishers Activision, it was discovered
the original multi-track masters for 'Anarchy in the UK' & Pretty
Vacant' had been misplaced. Activision then invited the band to
re-record the tracks instead!
In June 2007 – virtually 30 years since they
last recorded together – John Lydon, Steve Jones & Paul
Cook; along with original producer Chris Thomas – entered
The Boat studios in LA to record live studio versions of
the tracks. To help maintain the classic sound of the original
recordings they utilized an analogue sound-desk (circa 1969); first
built for George Martin at Air Studios, London.
Speaking of the re-recordings in his recent JL.Com
interview John commented: "It’s exactly like
how we did it in the first place. With Chris Thomas on the controls;
and me, Steve and Paul. That’s it the three. Because Glen
wasn’t really a part of the band at that time when we recorded ‘Bollocks’… We
had to learn how to do this as a threesome for a long, long time
with Sid on stage! You know! We had to record the album in the
first place that way. So it flowed really well… It sounds
great. It really does. It sounds really great fun…"
Read the full interview here…
The Pistols legendary 1977 album 'Never
Mind The Bollocks, Here's The Sex Pistols' also gets
its first ever official North American download
release today, also via iTunes. |
