Screw Sid Vicious, he was nothing to the pistols, except possibly their biggest mistake. Layne Stanley was an integral part of both AIC's sound & creative process, Sid Vicious was a replacement bassist that couldn't play bass. I'm not sure what your using as your definition of a "brilliant band", but I agree, their not a great band, and some of their riffs where stolen from the R. Stones....but then....that's not the point is it? It's punk, *real* punk, thats the point. A shot in the arm to Rock n' roll, rousing it from it's slumber and a gob in the eye to the mainstream & society in general, the inspiration for the genesis of 100's if not thousands of bands the world over, then and now. People are probably looking forward to the Pistols because unlike most bands : they matter, their important. That and John Lydon is still every bit the little punk he ever was, just a little more eloquent.

Why? To me, they're just another dead rock band missing a member, flogging their career. I wouldn't go and see the new Alice In Chains without Layne Staley and while his and Sid Vicious' roles were different, it amounts to the same thing to me. That said, I just don't give a toss for the Sex Pistols sound. The bands who quote them as massive influences usually ain't great themselves! They never struck me as a brilliant band. The most interesting thing about them would be the divine-providence gig they played in Manchester which laid foundations for a whole new chapter of British music? Considering the many other bands who could make proper use of that big stage. New Order and JAMC over the last few years: Sex Pistols are a let down in comparison. I'd rather see Bad Brains :D That said, I'll go and watch them with an open heart. If they're amazing I'll dedicate 6300 words here on their magnificance..

You exaggerate :P “I don’t know a single person under 45 who’s excited about Lydon & co.”

Lets not forget the impact this band had on, well, everything. How many bands frequently name checked by modern bands simply would not exist without them? The answer is pretty much all of them. Hell most subsequent genres that happened after punk owe their existance *at least* in part to Punk, everything from nu-wave to dance to grunge. No they didn't invent Punk, but without them acting as it's personification it would never have taken off the ground, The Ramones simply didn't have the fire required to do that. *ahem* Anyway, it's cool about Ham Sandwich playing EP :) If one of the most important bands in music history can only illicit a “meh” from so called music fans then the hell with them.
