It's a pension, innit. I genuinely hope Lydon uses some of the money to do new PiL or solo work...

The manager of the MEN Arena was open in the conversasion he had with the Pistols manager when they played there in November.
She said expect Pistols appearances at lots of festivals around Europe along with a tour because they intended to milk it for every penny and touring is where the money is. 

I've got excellent quality mp3s of the MEN Manchester gig, so drop me a line if you want a copy.

Sex Pistols sing new songs

First new material for 30 years 

The Sex Pistols are set to record their first new tunes in 30 years
after the success of their recent reunion tour, they have been inspired
to head back to the recording studio according to www.wenn.com. The
legendary punks returned to the live scene for a series of gigs in
November last year. They were so excited about how well received they
were by fans that it has convinced the band to start to create the new 
songs.

You can read a review of their show at the MEN Arena, Manchester here.

Johnny Rotten (John Lydon), Glen Matlock, Steve Jones, and Paul Cook
hope to start recording their new material in the first half of this year. 

This will mean the new songs could be showcased during their appearance
at the Isle of Wight Festival in June.

Drummer Paul Cook said, "There's talk of new material. The only problem
is that it's a bit hard to work on anything as John and Steve are in 
America and Glen and I are in the UK. So, it's a case of finding the
time to get together."

Although a whole album looks unlikely, Paul suggested, that the band are
indeed hoping to have the new material would be ready for their festival 
appearance, "We might not pull together an album but hopefully there
will be some new stuff in time for the summer."

Whether the new songs will become as legendary as their classics
"Anarchy in the UK", "God Save the Queen", "Pretty Vacant", and 
"Holidays in the Sun" remains to be seen. Very few bands have taken a
long hiatus and reformed to make successful 'new' classic tunes.
