Fuck this and

Fuck that

Fucking all the fucker

Fucking brat

She don't want a baby who looks like that

I don't want a baby who looks like that

It is abstractly punk for him to do in concept, but it ends up feeling disingenuous.

I've seen the interview. He's speaking some truth tbh and some nonsense just like he always has. John pal you have working class roots and certainly still identify but you are no longer 'working class' and haven't been for decades.

who in the hell cares Lydons opinion on Trump, like he has a clue



he has always been an idiot



before this whole punk thing he was seen alot with long hair and pink Floyd shirts, but after was making fun of them, so he just follows the crowd

Album Rating: 4.5

he seems as put off by people listening to them as he is turned on by it.. and he has said a lot of wank over the years, along with some truths.. like all people who have a microphone in front of them.. I don't understand people who bother listening to the opinion of celebrities.. since a lot of them came to fame early on, most of them are undereducated and under-read..

I don't know if lydon followed the crowd. He rejected it. The long hair was cut off and bleached, the Floyd t-shirt was marked with 'I hate' and he did his own thing.

The Pistols audition had him gurning, writhing around and taking the piss.

His mum bought him a watch which he wore all the time and he got slated for not being 'punk' but he wore it because he thought it was a decent watch and loved his mum.

Lydon's like dogs. Dogs got personality. I like dogs. But I don't like to have 'em at home.

I know all of that, but it was punk to reject the old thus following along, the underground scene was up and moving by the time they became a band, basically put together to be a band, I guess

So the tale goes, but you don't create 'God Save the Queen' you don't manufacture the id

Did he really? He molded the shambles I'll give him that but in terms of what the Pistols actually harnessed I'd say that was the band on their terms, with their tunes and with their personalities dragging it through the bullshit.

i don't know.. this is a good album, but there were hardly prophets of anything behind it.. if you put a desperate kid in a ripped t-shirt and spray-paint anti-establishment around his room, he's not going to write flowery songs, is he? they were always the product of good marketing, something Lydon tends to forget.. The dismal state of England at the time propelled punk music into existence, and i'll take angelic upstarts, cock sparrer or sham 69 over Bollocks any day..

Public Image is a much challenging and genuine project than this.

@dreamgazing



yes it is, but when it fails to be challenging (as it often does), it becomes the pointless blatherings of a man who feels like he should be an artist, because that's what he is after all, isnt he?!?!?

I can't get on with PiL, some classics mingled with a load of dross.

you're both absolutely correct. their classic output, though, overrides the pointlessness of the drab shit

totally agree Dream

This is a great album. Although by today's standards it's very midtempo and not as gnarly as other punk now but it's still raw and snarling all the way through. Lydon would go in to mak way better music but this album is still amazing 15 years after I first heard it.
