If you are hoping to see punk icons Sex Pistols live on stage in the future, then brace yourself for some harsh news. According to the group’s drummer Paul Cook, they won’t be reuniting anytime soon.

Cook recently had a chat with Daily Record and was asked about the possibility of Sex Pistols making a live comeback.

“I can’t see it happening again for the Pistols and I don’t think anyone wants it to,” Cook responded.

He also went to add that the bad relationship between vocalist Johnny Rotten and guitarist Steve Jones remains one of the main reasons why this isn’t possible.  

“There’s so much water under the bridge and so much history, I don’t think it would work out,” Cook explained.

Sex Pistols officially disbanded in 1978, but the band eventually made several reunions in the 1990s and 2000s, embarking on worldwide tours. Their most recent comeback was in 2007 when they initially signed on to play five shows in the UK. This eventually turned into the Combine Harvester Tour, during which they played a number of European festivals.

Cook and Jones got back together for a one-off show in 2018 at The Roxy in Hollywood, when they played several Sex Pistols songs with Billy Idol and Tony James of Generation X.

Punk started in the 70s and took the music world by storm. It’s a genre not defined by complex rhythms and shredding guitar solos – it’s all about the attitude. Here are ten of the best classic punk albums of all time.

The Sex Pistols – Never Mind the Bollocks

It’s difficult to think “punk” without responding with “The Sex Pistols.” The UK’s response to the Ramones were the epitome of punk stands for and Never Mind the Bollocks is iconic.

Black Flag – Damaged

Branded at the time as an “an anti-parent record,” Damaged is about as angry and anti-everything as a record can get.

Sleater Kinney – Dig Me Out

Punk’s final gasp in the late ’90s. These girls brought punk to the indie-rock scene.

Husker Du – Zen Arcade

What happens when punk meets the art form of the concept album? Zen Arcade.

The Dead Kennedys – Fresh Fruit For Rotting Vegetables

The Dead Kennedys’ debut album is more musically technical than The Sex Pistols, who Jello Biafra satirizes in a couple of tracks.

The Clash – The Clash

A gnarly, edgy album that sounds like the world is about to get turned upside down.

Iggy & The Stooges – Raw Power

Iconic not just for the album cover.

X-Ray Spex – Germ Free Adolescence

Poly Styrene proved that punk wasn’t just for boys. Her angry, feminist rants over catchy and creative music is a treat.

Ramones – Ramones

“Blitzkrieg Bop” birthed a new era and the Ramones’ debut album gave us all of the attitude with none of the substance.

The Clash – London Calling

The Clash’s third album is a punk album which borrows from a range of styles including reggae, jazz, pop and ska. It manages to be musically adventurous while maintaining the bite that defines The Clash’s sound.
