apparently our song The Beat Generation sounds abit like PIL. you can hear it on our youtube page. would be interesting to know what people think. cheers
featuring Lydon, Wobble and Levene. Everyone's playing or singing but Keith - his part must have been pre-recorded. Is Wobble missing a tooth? Richard Dudanski playing drums, the second in a long line of drummers. PiL were like the post-punk Spinal Tap - they couldn't seem to hold onto drummers for very long. Wobble and Levene are pretty good drummers BTW - each play on Metal Box.
Great moody bassline, simple, repititious, with that great little funky change-up, perfect for that track. Wobble, what a character, shame he's Spurs.
Wobble used gum to block out his teeth ...its in the book Metal box

I've read that they did this on Granada TV once, before a gig at the Factory in Manchester in July '79, wonder if that still exists.

In Wobble's autobiography it says he got that tooth blacked out in TOTP makeup. Gives him a lovely gurn, doesn't it?
Looks to me like Dudanski's drums were prerecorded too.

"My god, whenever the high guy starts smiling, I start laughing uncontrollably! xD
But anyhow. Mr. Rotten is looking very trim here, and this is a beautiful song.
Thanks for the upload!"
