Sex Pistols Reunion Press Conference - Sid was a coat hanger

Venue: 100 Club Location: London, United Kingdom Date: March 18, 1996

Ah, the Sex Pistols. What a trailblazer in the punk scene, right? By March 18, 1996, when they held that infamous press conference at the 100 Club, they were really stepping back into the spotlight, reigniting interest in their raucous legacy. Just a few years prior, in 1996, they'd released a live album, *Filthy Lucre Live*, which captured the chaotic energy of their reunion shows. Talk about a band that stirred the pot—Johnny Rotten, Glen Matlock, Steve Jones, and Paul Cook were all present at that press conference, boasting the original line-up and hinting at a return much to the excitement (and criticism) of their fans. It’s fascinating how they managed to remain culturally relevant years after their heyday in the late '70s! With quotes like Rotten's at that press conference, one could see their relationships, humor, and perhaps unresolved tensions laid bare, painting a picture of a band that, while rocky, still had a magnetic pull. So, did they truly reunite to recapture old glories, or to embrace the chaos they once sparked? That's a question every punk enthusiast loves to ponder.
