10 Music Reunions That Were Doomed From The Start

10. Sex Pistols (1996)

In 1976 Sex Pistols burst onto the scene shocking the establishment to the core. Their nihilistic, anti-establishment stance sent ripples throughout the country. Seemingly, just as quickly as they arrived than they split up.

To some their brief ascent to the top and subsequent disbandment was the very embodiment of punk. It was meant to brief, it was meant to be noisy. The whole point of punk was to shake things up, to change people's outlook. So when The Sex Pistols reformed to tour in 1996 it came as something as surprise.

Calling it the Filthy Luche Tour the whole thing seemed like nothing other than a money making exercise, cashing in on their past, rebellious reputation. Rather than affirm their historical status the tour did nothing but undermine the relevance of the band.

Other tours ensued in 2002, 2003 and 2007. Although people still turned up to the gigs the energy was gone. The aging musicians were, in some people's eyes, a punk band no more.
