"He’s younger, for a start. He’s got a lot more energy than people of our age." - Glen Matlock on Frank Carter.

Reflection on the Past and Future

This tour marks a significant moment for the Sex Pistols, who last toured North America in 2003 with original frontman Johnny Rotten. His thoughts on Frank Carter stepping into the role have raised eyebrows.

“He’s got a great opportunity, but there’s something darker going on behind it," Lydon remarked, implying that while he respects Carter, he questions the band's direction without him.

Carter, who joined the band in June 2024, expressed his excitement and nervousness about stepping into such monumental shoes. “I promise you one thing, there will be nothing left of me after these shows. I’m going to leave every single ounce of me on that stage because that’s what the record deserves," he stated.

What’s Next for the Band?

With a dynamic lineup and a renewed spirit, fans are left wondering if new music is on the horizon. Matlock has hinted at new ideas, but the future remains uncertain, stating, “But is the world ready for a new Sex Pistols record? I dunno.”

Meanwhile, guitarist Steve Jones mentioned the surprisingly positive reception of the new lineup, indicating fans are more open to changes than expected. “There was a few die-hards on Instagram, but they hadn’t even seen us. They just can’t see it without John, which I get, but even the ones that came out of curiosity were into it after a couple of songs.”

Conclusion

This 2025 North American tour promises to be a remarkable chapter in the legacy of the Sex Pistols. With Frank Carter at the helm, it’s bound to spark both nostalgia and excitement among long-time fans and new followers alike. Are you ready for this punk rock revival?
