Public Image Limited - Low Life ( LIve 1983 )

[neurogami]

Wow. The synth blurbs are classic Bad '80s No-Taste. Horrible. Possibly the worst hourly-rate backing band Lydon got after the classic PiL dissolved.

[MrCoxson]

I tryed to see them at this gig, but it was sold out within hours. However, I saw them a few weeks later at another german gig, but I remember, that they were boring...

[Signof888]

That synth line makes the song!

[thepunk247]

lydon for u.s president

[zboyyu]

one of my PIL fav, i'm tryin toconvince the guyz of my band to cover it cuz i like so f*ckin much playin this shit - i'm at the bass

[WilAzzamEdison]

@andywhorehall thats right... REAL ASS MUSIC.. NOT THE FICTITIOUS CRAP NOWADAYS

[jlubow1964]

Horrible, bullshit line-up...The beginning of the end for Lydon. And the song is about Malcolm McLaren

[thepunk247]

@jlubow1964 its about sid

[MrSKINFLICK]

@thepunk247: No - Low Life is about Malcom McLaren who forced the musically completely unable Sid Vicious (they switched off his bass during the tours) into the Pistols which finally finished the band on a U.S.-tour in January 1978 . Lydon´s + McLaren´s relation had always suffered from grave tensions - he had more been a "big brother" figure for Jones/Cook/Matlock who had known him already two years before Lydon joined the band - they were hanging around in his and Vivienne´s "Sex" boutique.

[MrSKINFLICK]

@thepunk247: Lydon´s feelings were written down in a diary + so portrayed by Sophie - a secretary of McLaren who accompanied the Pistols on tour in 1976/77 + always took a bit care of them. Lydon partly (but ONLY partly!) hated McLaren and thought he was manipulating the band too much. All to be read in: "The Sex Pistols" by Fred + Judy Vermorel.

[grenna2010]

One of my all time favorite PIL songs

[jesselakerr]

this song reminds me of my ex... fucking lowlife

[exeter345]

Lydon said this song was about Sid??!!

[seismic744]

yes, it was about Sid...a talent, but sadly...a Low Life...

[durruti1936]

Bourgeoisie anarchist,

Read you despise us,

Always hurt the one you love,

Ignorant, selfish...

Wonder who he could be talking about? (rhetorical question) :)

[Gailis90]

I love this song so much, it's perfect.

[Jornaquin]

fucking genious song

[WilAzzamEdison]

@Jornaquin NIGGERS LOVE IT..I LOVE IT

[skipp0023]

"Thirty years too late..." pretty visionary line with bands like Franz, Interpol, and the Rapture aping the post-punk greats.

Fantastic, Lydon at his best in my opinion, thanks for posting

[Thorinbriggz]

the music sounds like a 1980s verison of God Save the Queen

[oramikleepunk]

Sounds like newwave 80's music.

[tararira73]

No entendes un carajo de musica salame! You don't understand nothing about music, asshole!

[Benzi75]

Although this PiL line-up was crap (compared to the original) I dig this.

[raniajoy]

this is one of the best songs ever..

[lioii]

John with a new band! I suppose it could only last so long when you've got a gooner and a yid in the same band...

[2ivanhoe]

yeah? why is that exactly? explain your ridiculous dumb comment or fuck off and die.

[lioii]

Easy... Lydon's a die hard Arsenal fan and Wobble is a Spurs fan! Now... calm down...

[ronpaul2008rocks]

LOL! I also had no idea what you were talking about. Pretty funny!

[Thorinbriggz]

Arsenal the soccer player?

[track8fodderstompf]

Arsenals a soccer player? Since when did they loose every single player, management team, groundstaff, stadium and fans?

cool

[atancijone]

Wonderfull avagarde musica!

Lóóv Lájffő

[pegleyjr]

I always wondered about this post-Sex Pistols band. So hard to keep up with all the musical happenings.

[albertodojao]

low live is now live between 2 decades

[rabsmiff]

johnny goes VEGAS........ok as satire, otherwise awful.

[gouvyrock]

rockpalast , german tv! one of the best life concert in europe!!!!

[JJAAHH]

as 'lydons band' its rubbish, as Levene, Wobble and Lydon its astounding. oh well, he tries.

[ggue]

chingones

[Subbaman]

PiL without Jah or Keith just isn't worth hearing...

[reverendbuck]

John Lydon with a bunch of musos. I suppose he thought the whole setup was interchangeable, but that is really horrible.

[muddyflucker]

I saw them play at the Cornwall Colosseum on this tour. Amazing!

[QueenRocker89]

PiL 4ever!!! John's the best!
