Public image Ltd. - This is not a love song (live)

[Jofph]

Funny to watch Johnny among the japanese anarchistic kids doing silly......

[alastairjr40]

I saw PIL in the late 80s.

[laisseoublier]

Weak crowd

[artgenies]

Hear it LOUD! one of my fav.

[vargaso]

Haha, the crowd doesn't know whether to mosh or to dance. Which is absolutely the point of PIL. Brilliant.

[teameymelli1]

this is hilarious! haha this ranks as one of the greatest ever

[dionrisborg]

4 years before the onslaught of techno....... genius

[Levelord92]

@dionrisborg

and where is he now?

[PostPunkFan]

This is where it all went downhill. Flowers of Romance was the last PiL record. He should have either stopped after Flowers of Romance, or called the band something else after that album. This is awful.

[slawekrak]

Lubię ten pokaz a o kawałku już nie wspomnę , jak bardzo cieszę się że znalazłem to co lubie a słuchałem kilka lat temu.

Byłem zafascynowany ale to było w 1983 roku.

To minęło parę lat........................

[7LolaLola7]

This is not... A LOVE SONG !!!!

[punknenimrkev]

a japonci jsou z toho vyjevený :-)

[itproject74]

Fuckin`great!

[blinky182er]

13 people were expecting a love song

[sherbert500]

its hard in tokyo to get crowds to react to any music without just clapping .....damn i swore i saw a few scraps going on ......you go john lets have it lol

[FirstFacebookTube]

gimme the pil

[MLDJHF]

FANTASTISCH song! bring it out again!!!

[prins95]

Super !!!

[baddestbeagle]

This is the version I have been looking for for ages - used to play on the first video jukebox I ever saw - at Strides (formerly The Primrose) Dover circa 1982

[andyirwin1]

fuck me it's Frank Spencer ha ha.

[lancelking]

live is sooo much better! =D

[cloudscounter]

he looks like the male version of vivienne westwood :)

[skttrbrain90]

seems like jack nicholson got inspiration for his joker from this

[nastyMisDemeanor]

Lydon's got what you can call an unique voice. And I mean both his singing and the statements made by him.

[shrike69er]

I loved this song when i first saw it on TopPop 1981 i think it was or so

[kerimclaughlin]

johnny is da best end off da main man

[theseadogg11]

a brilliant guy, can take over an unseen opp. didnt think he was like that back in the the day did any of us ? hope he makes tons of money better in his pocket than uncle scam

[modernman12345]

johnny is so fucking gay

[vetlesverd321]

@modernman12345  why?

[atominside90]

@modernman12345 johnny is so fucking hot

[BABIROCKSVIDEOES]

the live version is musically far better than the one on "this is what you want this is what you get" or "the greatest hits...so far", here the piano and bass are wonderful!

[Malombado]

Sid is a better singer than johnny

[hinmahtooyah]

@Malombado shut the fuck up ..weasel

[Pitiponk93]

@Malombado But Johnny plays the bass better, I believe....Oh wait, my 3 years old brother plays better than Vicious, actually.

[MsGORGONS]

@Pitiponk93 he can't play any instruments...at the times of the pistols when all the rage was kicking in he was attacked in Finsbury by a bunch of nonce who shouted : we love our queen' and Johnny was struck by a clever or a machete...the injury sustained...which I believe was serious...prevented him from playing anything as the tendon in his right or left hand is forever damaged. Typical idiot slob Uk story...

[jacquielinka]

johnny always has a healthy glow dont you think? Hes bloody brilliant.

[sernathadd]

i cant believe there is only 95,543 views.. there should be billions more!

[MsGORGONS]

@dyl11ans I agree man he's a total wanker for doing that I really hate him now...I learned that yesterday...wot a fuckn' disappointment I think he's going to suffer for that...I mean PRAISE to Costello who can stand up to a bunch of demented bastards who surely one day will get what they've looked for. FREE PALESTINIANS...

[NYCPulpHero]

@MsGORGONS pfft

[missSuchashame]

great, maan!

[Atombombmother]

Love this nonlove song.

[Prenisonona]

Where was this? great live performance by John, love his madman style, he's a fuckin genious.

[aaaaaaaaaajgvgjyc]

@Prenisonona Tokyo

[spizzenergie]

I love no love songs...

[obed1g1]

wow the live version is way better!!! LOVE this guy

[hackminator]

Johnny Rotten was amazing in this live

[punkisdead36]

punk..........................­.......

[bottecchia1927]

Johnny Rotten in camicia di forza, il massimo della coerenza!

[Hecategoth]

I love mad people !

[TheCASH75]

It was written at the time that John realised that M.McLaren(RIP) as just all the copyright about the name of Sex Pistols and even Johnny Rotten name...and that he's been earning any money..the name of the "band" PIL is due to this and the love song about how he HATE the music business with Malcolm and records company...Great swindle...Enjoy!!!

[faniboz1]

i was gutted when he appeared in a butter ad.

[kiribula]

@faniboz1 I wasn't Traditional British :o)

[kiribula]

@faniboz1 I mean, what could be worse than fucking Evanescence ?????

Yuck !

[PicossYo]

おい、東京の客ダサすぎだぞ

[MissViv]

the live version is so much better than the studio recorded one ........... and the video is much better too IMHO

[MissViv]

the live version is so much better than the recorded on............ much better video clip IMHO

[smudgejr]

eightiesqueen one of the best!

[sandwichescornertv]

i'm changing my ways where money applies :)

[rongravy]

a gawd.

[whitestripes77]

he looks like hes fresh off the funny farm

[FatKidCookie]

i love this song's bass !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[greaserleo]

is he pretending to be frank spencer?

[TheNicholas0202]

This version is better than the studio take.

[jms6959]

is this a love song?

[ReteKKKKK]

I love this song, but i can give you a + for this :D

[coshthedriver78]

john lydon in better days.

not the celebrity prick he is today.

[theoperatives]

explain how he is a celeb prick.

[coshthedriver78]

it is quite simple,

celebrity get me out of here,

the butter advert.

he has turned into the person that he would of detested,33 years ago,he has turned into a complete fake,punk is about being working class and anti establishment,john lydon has conveniently forgot about that.

[EmilyPlays0]

@coshthedriver78

Shut up! Who else could do that and still be the John we all love? He's no fake, he hasn't ever changed and Punk's for everyone not just the working class

[coshthedriver78]

fuck off you middle class twat,and read your facts.

[EmilyPlays0]

Ha, you don't get any more working class than me and it was me mother that posted them comments. She'd like me to tell you that after more than 30 yrs of being a punk she still appreciates the good stuff and thank God it didn't turn her into a grumpy, foul mouthed sad old bastard!

[spizzenergie]

@EmilyPlays0 Hey, greetings to your mum!

[ThePaulollerenshaw]

knob

[coshthedriver78]

go fuck yer mother.everbody else has.

[kingshahine]

the proceeds for both those things weren't used for him. he said he gave the proceeds to charity and to start up pil becaus the record company didn't help. Hes just nicer now, and older. he has a good soul, in his early days of pil he was very mad at rock n roll becaause of hte sid issue.

And he said punk is about being yourself, not following what anyone else is doing. Not trying to imitate

[smileydocmartens]

@coshthedriver78 you poor sad twat!

[coshthedriver78]

@smileydocmartens you are a complete

fucking arsehole,whats the matter,do you

not like the truth.

go and find some friends.

[smileydocmartens]

I notice the only reason you seem to post comments is for the purpose of insulting people. some people like to be able to comment on things they LIKE without having to put up with your foul mouthed insults. I shall expect you to reply with more brainless verbal abuse but your mum should've told you 'it doesn't make you hard you know'. What a knob

[coshthedriver78]

@smileydocmartens the only language you understand is foul mouthed abuse,

so you basically get what you deserve.

[smileydocmartens]

@coshthedriver78 f***** W%%%*&**! A****! ;)

[ThePaulollerenshaw]

you prick you dont deserve to listen to this so f!*k off

[Fckng666peter]

Johnny is still my favorite.

[xxxRiffRaffxxx]

one of the best humans last century

[indiasrainbow]

hey !! I thought this was gonna be a 'love song'!!

i traveled all this distance by a click of the mouse to hear a ' love song'!!

but this is not a love song!!! !!

[floodswobo1]

ha,  cool

[JovanVIA]

@indiasrainbow

You are fucking cunt!

[TheNancyRotten]

the live version in finland amazing much better than tokio

[Phyle9]

Rotten Johnny was important for music history. He acts like a clown but it's more sarcasm and anarchy.

Sex Pistols and Public Image Limited were important!

Kick ass song btw! \m/

[karimnn]

Superbe!

[slbiggs36]

Who woulda thought Johnny could sing like a black a woman!?

[MegaGOTLAND]

God save JOHN LYDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[StevenGA1011]

Better shot at that than the Queen being saved!

[meluzzocataniasnap]

quell allungo è bestiale.

anke questo è stato unaperdita della musica

[adfro7]

a lot better live. ive got a version they did in finland, honestly one of the best songs ive heard. record version just grates me though im afraid.

[meluzzocataniasnap]

grandissimi

[rocksimo93]

davvero!! :D

[petegeorge94]

there another vid on youtube that says sex pistols sang this now i never watched the vid properly and it sounds very difrent can someone help me out and tell me wether they both sang it or not it would be very apreciated thanks

[EricTheChicken]

Sex Pistols didn't sing This is not a love song.

[petegeorge94]

thanks that imfprmation has been very helpful

[iggy6star]

they did a cover of this song when they re-united with lydon in 1994

[kazuo62]

Petergeorge94, the Sex Pistols ended as a band. Then, John Lydon, the singer of the Pistols, started this band. This band, Public Image Ltd. made the song.

[willzyx12]

good idea for a song but

oh dear whats happened to him

[Pickaownasso]

I'm no homosexual, but I think, I adore him. He's a master of reflecting society. The true society.

[jangenk]

Knowing now what lydon turned into ("the perfect creep") : selling real estate in the US and critizing his fellow bands from the late 70's and early 80's and then starting 25 years later to milk the old pistols period, no thanks, that makes this turn into a joke as well...

[2ivanhoe]

grow up you dick.

he "turned into" what he always was.

the real estate thing was a wind up to piss sentimental fools like you off.

criticizing bands was his forte from day 1!! and bloody right too""

he aint a museum piece to be dusted off when you feel nostalgic, if his continued existence makes you uncomfortable then he's still doing something right.

[jangenk]

2vanhoe, i hve absolutely NO nostalgic feelings and NOTHING against his continued existence, but his "revival" is simpy based on commercial grounds... that's all i want to say. It seems that lots of folk like you still run into his trap. But who cares. Just have my say, okay.

[psychostupe]

well, can you really know for sure whether it was based off commercial grounds?

[Omegasupreme1078]

Unfortunately, I'm pretty sure that's not Jah Wobble-- he quit PiL in the fall of 1980, and This Is Not A Love Song wasn't released until 1983.

[apikorus]

Thank you , i believe the facts are on your side

[Ayrshirenutter]

you're right,that's not wobble,in fact there's only Lydon there from the original PIL

[brooklynkoehn]

i feel like i should call jah 'Mr. Wobble' while he's dressed like that

[johnpie2]

lol yeh

[THEELDER1]

BRILLIANT!!!

[johnpie2]

Jah looks really funny ( no offence) in a suit. Johnny is AMAZING. Nobody really hears much from the drumer though :/ :D

[johnpie2]

Is that Jah wobble :L in the background :L awesome

[johnpie2]

WOW

amazingggg

[stanke89]

fuckin' powerfull!!!

[KJRolling]

This excellent song is the featured track on January the 31st of the book 'The Song For Today' by Jimmie Oliver.

[Louisefalk78]

THIS SONG BRINGS MEMORIES BACK.

[tazzman560]

i cant believe Sid was suppose to be part of this haha. He was suppose to be the bassist but Nancy told Johnny he would be the singer of nothing haha

[donaldutusku]

HIs voice makes even a light pop song incredible. Punk's not dead!

[patkebra]

cool!quel frimousse!

[lisaemberton]

Stumbled over this one.

[hotdave86000]

[gaikgaikgaik]

[EwelinLoveTre]

Johnny's only a junkie. But I adore him. :)

[thegirl44]

Pardod me? Did J Lydon crawl in a heroin bag and you are the only person on the face of the earth who is aware of the fact?

[UwahX]

Es geht. Auch nicht unbedingt meines.

[DieheckeMarthe]

I think he dances like a zombie on drugs but i love it...^^ Great guy!

[odddISDED]

gotta admit was really (pleasantly) surprised when i checked these out, yeh he acts like a goon but the music is wicked, a hell of a lot different to what i expected from lydon

[assassin1964]

HE LOOKS LIKE A WRONG UN 2 ME

[ggstefan]

[pegleyjr]

I'm just becoming acquainted with PiL and I don't have anything by the Sex Pistols. Stylistically, this sounds a bit (?) Bowie.
