They did, but it was obviously a cash in- after the Great Rock and Roll Swindle (which was also a cash in on nevermind the bollocks), they were dormant for ages- they did a US and UK tour in the summer of like 97 I think- in support of the Filthy Lucre disc they put out (it was done early on the tour and kinda sucked but...) Anyway, even though Glen Matlock is a better bass player than Sid Vicious was (hell my roomate's cat is a better bass player than sid was- that's one groovy cat lemme tell you)... it just wasn't the same. I went with my brother for his birthday- he was a huge Pistols fan, so I saw em too... I was always more into the Clash. Early Clash mind you.

The Pistols weren't new or raw or shocking, so it was kind of neat on one hand to see them, but on the other hand, watching a bunch of 12 year olds in Pantera shirts trying to mosh to it kinda bummed me out.
