Why are the Sex Pistols touring again? [Why would anyone want to see them again]

Sorry but I didn't get it last time on their Filthy Lucre tour and I'm still dumbfounded. What was the reasoning that Lydon gave? I can see when the band is respectful of their audience and wants to have another go, but Lydon just seems like he wants to take a piss on people and take their money. Why would people want to see this?

Returning to the US this fall, with something called a Frank Carter on vocals.
I'm going. Never saw the other reunion, and honestly, I'm not interested in seeing Johnny perform with them. He was never that good a singer, and from what I heard of the last time, it sounded more like PiL playing Sex Pistols songs. As in, Johnny was actually trying to sing rather than snarl through the songs like in '77.
Plus, hearing Johnny come out in support of the British monarchy, well, shit. That'd be like Jello Biafra reuniting with the DKs to do a salute to Ronald Reagan.

$65 for a ticket (it's not a large venue) and $16.50 in fees. Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?
F it, I'm going anyway.
