The Sex Pistols to record new material

The SEX PISTOLS are set to record their first new material in 30 years after being spurred on by the success of their recent reunion tour. The legendary rockers got back on stage for a series of live dates last year (07) and the positive reaction from fans has convinced them to start work new tracks.The group hope to start recording in the first half of 2008 so that the new songs will be ready for their appearance at the Isle of Wight Festival in June (08).

Drummer Paul Cook says, “There’s talk of new material. The only problem is that it’s a bit hard to work on anything as John (Lydon) and Steve (Jones) are in America and Glen (Matlock) and I are in the U.K.. so it’s a case of finding the time to get together.

“We might not pull together an album but hopefully there will be some new stuff in time for the summer.“

The Sex Pistols add more dates

They sold out in 10 minutes for the England show so they added two more dates at the same venue. Read more here.

When asked by Britain’s Virgin Radio about other bands who’ve recently reformed for a tour, frontman Johnny “Rotten” Lydon wasted no time giving his honest opinion, calling Sting — who is currently touring with the reunited POLICE — “a soggy old dead carcass.” The prototypical punk continued, “Listening to ‘Stink’ try to squeak through ‘Roxanne’is not fun. It’s like letting air out of a balloon.”

Stealing Music by Trent Reznor

As the climate grows more and more desperate for record labels, their answer to their mostly self-inflicted wounds seems to be to screw the consumer over even more. A couple of examples that quickly come to mind:

* The ABSURD retail pricing of Year Zero in Australia. Shame on you, UMG. Year Zero is selling for $34.99 Australian dollars ($29.10 US). No wonder people steal music. Avril Lavigne’s record in the same store was $21.99 ($18.21 US). By the way, when I asked a label rep about this his response was: “It’s because we know you have a real core audience that will pay whatever it costs when you put something out – you know, true fans. It’s the pop stuff we have to discount to get people to buy.”

So… I guess as a reward for being a “true fan” you get ripped off.

* The dreaded EURO Maxi-single. Nothing but a consumer rip-off that I’ve been talked into my whole career. No more.

The point is, I am trying my best to make sure the music and items NIN puts in the marketplace have value, substance and are worth you considering purchasing. I am not allowing Capital G to be repackaged into several configurations that result in you getting ripped off.

We are planning a full-length remix collection of substance that will be announced soon.
