Public Image Ltd - Disappointed

[interjectionmed]

why'd they leave out the "fools and horses..." part???

[gothghosthunter]

Me too diskoboy. That shirt rock!



[Diskoboy1974]

Still have this CD I bought back in 1989 with the original longbox!

Also had a t-shirt with the pixelized PIL logo that I wore the hell out of back in the early 90's. I really loved that shirt!

[TheAndiePerson]

How is this song not played all the time?

[Nightmike1989]

This was, and is, one of their best tracks.

[montaneMan]

Haha, yes indeed

[patdrunksingalong]

drop dead fred?

[thSubliminalCriminal]

@patdrunksingalong

LMAO

[spike9045]

hahahahahahahahahhahahaha just for the record I am not a hater I do like lydon but has anyone else noticed he looks a bit like one of the tweenies in this video hahahahahahaha

[Pipok1973]

@spike9045

.... so....?

Ah, nevermind. I don't care about Your statement.

[markmason36]

This is disapointing

[punkisdead36]

nuinca me aburrire de escuchar PIL

[lavolpelifestyle]

reminds me of my freshmen year of high school.

[antimattermind]

fuck advertising

[Rexerman89]

Who's the clown? Oh, it's Johnny Rotten lol

[TalkToTheBody]

@Rexerman89 John Lydon has intelligence that far outstrips that expected of people who leave pointless comments on You Tube. Your ignorance has also overlooked John McGeoch, a guitarist who has influenced so many after him but then you probably wouldn't know that

[TheNameUnknowen]

@IntegraTron2010 I hear that. ;)

[TheNameUnknowen]

John makes the most lyrically memorable quotable memorizing songs I've ever heard.

(Down right fucking amazing)

I love you,you son of a Bitch. ;)

[nickknox75]

I love this song. And I love Lydon's suit!

[kurtzephyrus]

What happened to Johnny Rotten!!!??? D:

[adakenna]

@kurtzephyrus he grew up :)

[hellchild65]

@kurtzephyrus got out of the lame group known as the sex pistols and made something 10x better is what happened to Mr. Rotten

[spike9045]

@hellchild65 Mr Lydon 

[creepykimmy13]

i play rise and this every freaking day!

[stezyrezy]

played this track to near death! loving it,,,,stezyrezy

[RIPStuNov22]

The (unofficial) Facebook theme song.

[larskerk]

@RIPStuNov22

god-damn right

[RadioPyongyang3AM]

@RIPStuNov22 you the best!

[flurbexx]

brightness and contrast needs to be stepped up a tone

[cementeriocaotico]

wowww... that great song

[gaelgeseomra]

My favouite band

[lurch321]

This band has never left me disappointed.

[TheBGSMusic]

Saw them in '89 at the Boathouse in Norfolk Va. My teenage son still wears the t-shirt I got that night. Still the most sonically powerful show I've ever seen. Johnny mooned the crowd !

[dreadherb]

I need a time machine

[PostPunkFan]

This is catchy and good (and I don't slag off later PiL like some fans) but I prefer old school, experimental PiL. Check out Second Edition, First Issue, Commercial Zone and Flowers of Romance for some good early PiL. Go-to songs include "Public Image," "Death Disco/Swan Lake," "Poptones," "Careering," "Flowers of Romance," "Annalisa,""Religion II," "Banging the Door," and basically every song on Commercial Zone (particularly "Bad Night" and "Love Song"). All these songs are on youtube.

[TheHappylifeTheatre]

Underrated !!!

[S73R30]

Excelente canción.

[DadgeCity]

@luciaatherton Ed Reardon FTW :)

[PostPunkFan]

John is a CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED songwriter. CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED!

[rogerhoward555]

JOHN LYDON IS PROBABLY THE ONLY MUSICIAN ON THIS WHOLE PLANET WHO CAN GET THE FRUSTRATION OF LIFE OUT OF SONG LYRICS.

HE DOES'NT JUST SING THE LYRIC

HE ACT'S IT.

HE IS A COMPLETE MUSIC GENIUS.

HE GETS TO THE CONCIENCE OF SONG'S LYRICS.

[TheBrainFromArous]

I... am... very... DISAPPOINTED!

(Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg, Fifth Element)

[ljwjfac110369]

rumor has it that steve vai plays guitar on a few tracks on pil first album

[MOSTechnology]

@ljwjfac110369 umm...no.

[Woaowa23]

i m dissapointed on what Jhonny Rotten has become :(

[trangressions]

@Woaowa23

Some advice: Next time you decide to make such a controversial statement, compose it with decent grammar/spelling - it would likely carry more weight.

[PunchAPeach]

I'd never heard this song before until about 2 weeks ago...and it still makes me nostalgic about the late 80's/early 90's sound.

[clevohardcore]

Good time for music. Love this record. It made 8th grade that much more tolerable.

[niktusacid]

Love PIL... awesome and large underrated band!

[robv1014]

How did Colin Quinn F*Ck it up???

[jimn35]

MTV has sucked ever since that idiot Colin Quinn f*cked it all up with Remote Control. It went downhill from there. MTV2 abd both VH1 channels followed suit. I am also disappointed too.

[radioclash81]

I saw them at Tulane in New Orleans in 1989--they sounded great. I thought this was a strong album for them to close out the 80's with--I liked it more than Happy. My favorite is still Second Edition (Metal Box).

[rowena13]

What really pisses me off is that he wanted us to pay £300 for his limited edition book about him! Mixed messages or what??

I love PIL and the Sex Pistols ..... but this is too far

[BajoCLF]

@rowena13 I think you might expect too much of Lydon. We all do. He doesn't even have a defined message.

[rowena13]

What really pisses me off is that he wanted us to pay £300 for his limited edition book about him! Mixed messages or what??

[rocket67hu]

The best from them! :)

[GOBLIN561]

playng in dublin juni ;) punk´`s not Dead & never die!Johny,you are special-love u music dude!

[KINGofkings49er]

I don't understand how EMI have this on their youtube account if PIL was never signed with them

[NeutronRage]

Advertising on a fucking John Lydon video.

Think he'd fucking kill you if he could.

[Mr1991ladarius]

This Song is truly THE anthem for faltering friendships and the yearning for friendships to be rekindled and learning the harsh mistakes that almost destroyed it.

[das81]

I'm dissapointed of you Johnny Rotten (J/k)

[hideHYDEimcoming]

in want to see the next nest thing the future god fucking dammit aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aarghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[PoorBliss]

i feel you john ! i hear you man

[willerror]

It was 12 years since the Pistols and my teenage friends and I thought that was all so long before... now it's been almost 25 years since this song and nearly 40 since the punk era... WTF.

[draleon7]

t6urn it up !

[Skatedaddy9]

I saw PIL and The Sugarcubes open for New Order back when this album came out, stellar show.

[F33lingIrie]

@Skatedaddy9 Went to same concert at Red Rock, awesom show/venue

[F33lingIrie]

@Skatedaddy9 Went to same concert at Red Rocks, awesom show/venue

[F33lingIrie]

@Skatedaddy9 Went to same concert at Red Rocks, awesome show/venue

[bob343536]

@Skatedaddy9 I saw the same show in 1989. AWESOME concert!!

[jlb2874]

@Skatedaddy9

me too!!!

[lanceperkins]

@Skatedaddy9 I was there too! I went backstage and met everyone! Bjork was so cute with silver pants and creepers bouncing up and down!

[Malisyn]

@Skatedaddy9 Doesn't sound like you remember much more than that. Not saying it's a bad thing of course.

[cak326]

@Skatedaddy9 Saw this show too, Lydon and Bjork were great but New Order was seriously dialing it in! So boring!

[lanceperkins]

@Skatedaddy9 I did too and got to go backstage. Fell in love with Bjork! :-)

[ahsans786]

"No, not you, with your half-moon eyelids, just babbling on, your useless defenses" lol, great line

[KJRA2009]

He's a really creepy guy to be honest. As much as I really like him and his music, I can't stand his creepy eyes.

[HarveyDentLives]

Apparently it's hazardous to sit next to Johnny Rotten on a transatlantic flight when he's eaten beans...

[hummlyhummly]

Dear Journal: Today I watched a PiL video, which I enjoyed very much. Then I vomited. Not a reaction to the video, mind you.

[gabrielapetrie]

Oh, WATCH THIS VIDEO, there are SO MANY worth-seeing moments in this VIDEO! And put it on your facebook page and your journal, remind everybody how GREAT music and videos USED to BE!

[hummlyhummly]

I detect a note of sarcasm in the lyrics, and Lydon's delivery; anyone else sense that?

[JazibyGezz]

@hummlyhummly I did since the very beginning of this video

[willh1970]

caaaants!!!!!!!

[stevedet]

Guess I gotta thank EMI for this. Kinda ironic isn't it?HAHAHAHA

[renerana2007]

guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuau i love esa cancion

[sconni1]

I used to stay up Sunday nights to watch this on 120 Minutes

[whitestripes77]

he was hot when he was YOUNGAH I love this song and everything Lydon and Pil.....the best band ever.

[TheGoodShannon]

Mental<<<<Rik Mayall is my favourite actor uncanny!!! Such a twat in interviews though. lol

[SHOEGAZEFAN73]

Great song.

[whitestripes77]

nice quality

[eauhon]

Just saw them a week ago in Baltimore. It was my 1st time seeing them in 20 years and they were AMAZING!

[SexVampireBite]

Beautiful version, I love this song. Sounded great live at House of Blues Chicago on May 2nd!

[ProjectPlacebo]

...thanx for posting this wicked clean version! One of the best songs of the 80's.

[TheEmpireofTwoWorlds]

EMIrony!!!

[TheGoodShannon]

Is that Drop Dead Fred? ..oh no...is it The Mask? *turns speakers on*.. oh! ooooooooh...wow!

[siobhansdaughter]

@TheGoodShannon Johnny came first

[MentalScottishCunt]

@TheGoodShannon Rik Mayall said wen he was playing th part of Drop Dead Fred he based th character on Johnny Lydon

[JimmyDFFDBorneo]

With the exception of the vocals, this sounds EXACTLY like something 'Yes' would play. I don't understand how john can write music like this and say that he hates bands like ELP and Pink Floyd.

[hummingbird830]

@JimmyDFFDBorneo He never did, his Pink Floyd hatred was purely attention seeking. Great man.

[saintbill]

@hummingbird830 I thought it was hatred of the fans, as in the ones that jumped on the band wagon of liking Pink Floyd as they were popular, not because of their musician ship. but maybe i'm wrong lol

[dawnbrian1]

whats a true fan...tits

[crh4878]

John really has an ear for a hook, doesn't he? A real human being, too.

[bezale]

"true" pil fans listen to whatever takes their fancy whenever wherever.

[swalk813]

I know 'true' PIL fans hate the later stuff. But so did the 'true' Genesis fans. Fact is, this music makes me happy and whether it's 'relevant' or not, I couldn't give a f*&k. Keep going, John!

[roejogan8]

what are u talking about? i'm a true fan and this song is great.

[skeleman1963]

picked up PILs greatest hits on cassette tape theother day and its getting alot of play time in my truck...taking me back to a great decade of music..

[handofsutekh]

LOL at watching this on the EMI channel.

Unlimited supply!

[warjunky444]

break your heart, wouldnt it???

[smolderingmilage]

@handofsutekh You lot are very lucky :(

[GoCubs3425]

@handofsutekh Im glad I'm not the only one who realised the irony.

[MrWarPeon]

@handofsutekh and I thought that was the reason they HAD to say GOODBYE!?

[bornbeingpunk]

@handofsutekh thought the same before see yer comment LOL XD

[piginasack]

You're right - she has 'borrowed' some johnny'isms in her style and attitude, no doubt about it.

[Lolitababycake4u]

cool video

[StratusSticky]

It's so werid cuz I download this song.Cuz I could find the CD.I really wanted to listen to them..

and the song starts off different..you can hear what friends are for is what there saying..then the song starts..

[Nebankh]

That was the album version SS - I was one of the singers singing 'what friends are for' :-)

The song fades in with those lines on the album version, you're right.

[VioletClub]

This video is really dark.

.

[svdragunov91]

awesum song

[Rascyman420]

Awesum song, thankyou !!! My ears are ringing after cranking this up !

[djfan7310]

...fools & horses, running their courses....you cheat easily, like sweet charity. and all of the bastards, the world despises....

[wunderwhat69]

utterly brilliant! I AM disappointed, though, that the video cuts out the song's coda—my favorite part!!!

[stevebeagle]

indeed

[TheCROZZER]

awsome who wouldn't like this ?

it's classic

brilliant

[CALIfotoSPUD]

"9" was a super tour!

PiL & INXS on the same ticket.

It was a "Super Show"...

Thanks for posting this version.

[mpm112599]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for posting this!

[apismelifera86]

Johnny me boy,truer words were never spoken

[MrLampster]

good times for sure

[SuperBlindGuySteve]

Finally! A video of this with good quality!

[mslwood]

This group rocks.  Brings back so many memories!!!!

[estherstillman]

WE ARE DISAPPOINTED how Mtv became RBTV REALITY BULLSHIT television

[Darkcorneroftheroom]

I agree

[mpm112599]

Completely!

[ThomasSheridanArts]

@estherstillman

That was the agenda all along. It was a social engineering machine.

[kerryman7]

The BEST PIL song, like the lyrics, and the sound is something that you would hear throughout the 90's

[DjRenigade]

WHat a true song!!!  So Good!!

[may301985]

I LOVE THIS THANKS FOR A RAMATERED VERSIONS the intro with the british guy became tireing

[Gonzalez2500]
