  • be sure...IT IS AND BURIED

  • No offense to Pete intended, but having seen both the Wobble lineup (Olympic Auditorium LA, 1980) and the Jones lineup (Pasadena Civic Auditorium, 1982 with Savage Republic and ESG), I preferred the Wobble PiL, I think his thick sound suited the band's music better, Pete's sound was a bit "thinner". (Sorry, just my opinion)

  • I agree....I wasn't in charge of the sound but wanted the big bottom end, and the engineer had never even heard Metal Box so I was fucked..pj

  • This is one of the only pre-1990's clips of Lydon where he actually looks happy.

  • Punk is dead; leather jackets, however, are alive.

  • ...and now he advertises butter on TV. How the mighty have fallen.

  • If punk is dead, just a process well understood by record companies, mere packaging, what about people who don't deal with record companies but understand punk and well recall the great cry over Ithica, "Panum mortis est !"?

  • That was great. Nice to see John look a little content for a few seconds. Loved what he said too. Sure made sense. "People love what they can't have."

  • punk is dead like rocknroll is..

    it's dead as a scene but it'll keep on living in music untill the epocalipse

  • 0:42 he looks happy

  • I'm gonna have to agree with Johnny, Punk is dead or dying. The mainstream punk like "Blink 182" "Paramore" "Avril Lavinge" etc are just killing it some more..it's like a poison being pumped into someone who's terribly ill. And those so called "punk" bands I listed above arent helping, same goes for Hot Topic, they're just ruining it. I mean, there's still people who hang onto what one was, or there's kids that get into this stuff way too late (me) that try to keep it alive but it's not possible

  • Spot-on about what John said about "Death Cult".

  • PUNKS NOT DEAD.

  • @johnwaynesfoot Damn I thought my jacket was a bit twitchy today,
