The Sex Pistols were a punk band that formed in London in 1975. Despite cutting only one record and breaking up a mere three years later, their influence cannot be underestimated. They are the reason that guy who works at Hot Topic spends two-and-a-half hours on his hair every morning.

According to NME.com, original Sex Pistols members John "Johnny Rotten" Lydon, Steve Jones, Paul Cook, and Glen Matlock (filling in for the late Sid Vicious, who initially replaced Matlock in the lineup) will reunite under the name the Sex Pistols. They did this before in 2003, and also in 1996.

The quartet will perform at London's Brixton Academy on November 8. The occasion for this latest reunion is the 30th anniversary of the release of the Pistols' one and only album, Never Mind the Bollocks Here's the Sex Pistols, which came out back in 1977.

As Lydon-- who was famously attacked by ostriches on the British television program "I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here!"-- told NME.com, "There would be no Sex Pistols without dear old London town...See you all at Brixton with proper feelings and proper people all around. From London Bridge to The Rose and Crown, all of Britain is welcome so come on down." How cute, he made it rhyme.

The reluctant Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees will also reissue classic track "God Save the Queen" on seven-inch vinyl, in the hopes of finally taking the single to number one in the UK. The song was allegedly kept from topping the charts back in 1977 so as not to mar Queen Elizabeth II's Silver Jubilee celebrations.

Now if you'll pardon me a moment, I must go flog the horse skeleton out back.
