There have been rumours circulating about the Sex Pistols doing a full on Japan tour…this is what Johnny had to say about it…..
“Well, we got an offer, but it was no good. It was for a whole bunch of gigs. But what I wanted to do – and I’ve spoken to John Giddings on this – the promoter for Solo, who I like a lot – was to just do one big gig in Japan. My original idea was I wanted to do it on the day of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, like two fingers up, but that was a bit childish on my part.
I’d like to do one gig in Japan, live TV, and not bother with a whole tour because there’s no need for it. And I’ve got too many other things to do. All of us have other work obligations now. Steve and his radio and whatever, and that’s important, you know? We would do a gig for fun. For fun. And funds! (laughs) I like my fun funded! And you can quote me on that! (laughs)
Like I said, it would be a possibility if it’s one gig with a possible TV broadcast. Then it’s special. It would be like a thank you present. Any other way, no. Not particularly interested, certainly not going to go out touring. If I do, I’d go out solo. But yet again, what have I got to thank the British music industry for? They’re murdering us, you know? They’ve spent like nearly 30 years pretending we’re arseholes, and now they need our arses! (laughs) Well, you can tell them they’re not our hamsters (laughs). That one will hurt!”
