JawnDiablo - 9-7-2009 at 01:36 PM

Geoff,
What yould you say is the best PIL record to check out?
a friend of mine was always into them, yet i never managed to give em a listen...somehow

gavin - 9-7-2009 at 04:34 PM

nah, im not going. i have no money to do anything
quinn, PiL is a weird deal
start with the first album

I saw them on the 9 tour and they were cool.

Public Image was also the first song I learned to play when I got a bass.

clevohardcore - 9-7-2009 at 04:53 PM

great stuff.

It would be fantastic to see them in the states. Maybe if all goes well they will tour. Last album was in 1991 I believe.

Stuff to check out? Man they hit several areas and sounds and have different PIL periods. I am a fan of all of it but most would say get ALBUM. Also titled cd cassette. This song was form it. Big hit for them. They mellowed out a bit for it and got Steve Vai on it.

I like most everything, but I think you should also check out HAPPY, 9 and FLOWERS OF ROMANCE-this record is pretty fucking scary.

do you think hes rich, like really rich off of the Sex Pistols and whatever money PiL made? Did he do anything else?

gavin - 9-8-2009 at 11:10 AM

they got no money from the pistols until the 80s when they won the court case against mcclearen
the pistols toured last year in europe

gavin - 9-8-2009 at 11:26 AM

from last year
still killer
dont argue with me about it
i dont care what you think unless its all praise to the mighty pistols

XHonusWagnerX - 9-8-2009 at 11:52 AM

I cant see what you posted because its blocked on my work computer, but I love the Sex Pistols. EMI is one of my favorite songs of all time and even The Great Rock & Roll Swindle is good!!

^ thats a great video clip

Discipline - 9-10-2009 at 06:00 PM

I just watched The Filth & the Fury last night. Watched five or six times now and still love it as much as the first time. Definitely one of the best music documentaries ever done.

clevohardcore - 9-12-2009 at 10:25 AM

I saw a ROCK AND ROLL documentaryaround 1995 and he was interveiwed in his house in California. HE had a grand piano and very beautiful furniture int he background and even referenced it. I think it was PBS documentary or something. It was a innagguration for the rock and roll hall of fame thing I believe.

Discipline - 9-13-2009 at 10:55 AM

Both of those videos are prime examples of why I will always be a fan of Johnny Rotten.
