But he said the record will only be made if they can capture the right "attitude". Rotten said: "There could be a new record. That would be nice. But I won't do anything in a patronising way. The music, the subject and the attitude all have to be right at the same time. Everything has to be from the heart."

So, how about it?
See, it's one thing having reunion tours. Never mind the 'spoiling the history", in fact it's always going to be about the audience and if they are enjoying it. As far as seeing a piece of history, they'd be better off buying a DVD or a book.
But a new album?
It'd better be good Johnny! It'd better be good!

The chances of this being good are fucking miniscule. Didn't they put out a 'new' single in 1996? I remember it being awful.

No it appears I made that up about the new single in 1996.

heh.
Someone 'remixed' GSTQ. It was, um, forgettable.

I might get excited about a new PiL album with Wobble and Levene, but a new Sex Pistols album? I'll pass.

I'm gonna go with that Damon Albarn, Lethal B, and Dexter Holland.

Probably some try-hard US "rock icon" as well. Josh Homme or Tim Armstrong or Dave Grohl or the trampy looking dude from SOAD.

Is this going to be like Guns & Roses with Chinese Democracy again? Because I cannot be waiting around no more! the trampy looking dude from SOAD Which one? If it is gonna happen tben its a baad idea.

This is great stuff, there has been a serious lack of obvious bad ideas like this lately.

Yeah but that meant the orig got reissued on the flip side, on nice heavy vinyl.
I agree with King Boy.

Predict the guests. They should do a "duets" album. You know, pair Johnny with Jerry Lee Lewis, George Jones, Tom Jones, Barbra Streisand, etc.

Would certainly give Jamie Cullum's career a shot in the arm.

What I'm really waiting for is for Lydon to tour 'Metal Box' with a reformed or plausibly cloned PIL. Not because I'd go, but it's going to be funny to see the haters climbing down.

Ummm, what? I think we've been given amble opportunity to listen to, you know, the one album and handful of b-sides. And demos. And dodgy live recordings.

Which I love, don't get me wrong. But there isn't even a barrel to be scraped anymore.
This just seems like a waste of money and effort.

I like One Drop, but the rest is awful.

It wasn't awful, but I note the lack of over in the whelm.

Also, I can't help misremembering the single:
"One Drop coming over the hill is it a monster?" ...

a second sex pistols album in 1978 probably would've been awesome. didn't lydon try to get them to play 'religion'?

They tried it on the afternoon of their last gig.
By all accounts, it was unsatisfactory.
