NEW YORK (AFP) - British punk band the Sex Pistols want to bring their particular brand of anarchy to Iraq (news - web sites), vowing to play a live concert in Baghdad with the message that democracy has its pitfalls.

In an interview posted on the MTV music channel website, Pistols' frontman John Lydon, who was known as Johnny Rotten during the punk heyday, said the reformed band hoped to set up the concert for sometime early next year.

 

 

"I am definite about it," Lydon said. "The red tape is lining up thick and fast, and the more they put up, the bigger the scissors."

 

 

Lydon said the Sex Pistols, who famously touted anarchy in the UK in the late 1970s, said the Iraqi people should be made to understand the downside of democracy.

 

 

"If you are going to offer these people democracy, then offer it to them in their fullest extreme so they fully know what they're walking into," he said.

 

 

"Because democracy has a few problems, mate, and the Sex Pistols know that, but at least we can shout out about it, and that might be of some use to them."

 

 

The Sex Pistols are preparing for a tour of 13 US cities in August and September. The tour features the band's original line-up of Lydon, guitarist Steve Jones, bassist Glen Matlock and drummer Paul Cook.

Do we really need to fuck up the people of Iraq right away?

I think they are a bit too late to be promoting anarachy in Iraq...

[Guest La Parka Es Mi Papa]

Whoa, that sounds like the concert of a lifetime.

I would give my life to go to that show.

 

In fact...that's probably what would happen.

Is it really the best time for SexPistols to be in Iraq?

 

Maybe we'll get lucky and Lydon will make like the jack ass he is and stumble onto the HIDDEN MASS WEAPON of DESTRUCTION!

I think that'd be hilarious.
