The Saints had their records out before the Pistols did in 76 but when they went to England and they had long hair, the trendy's didn't want to know about em. In a later interview, Chris Bailey stated that he had spent his entire youth having short hair, so in Australia, for him it was a rebellion to wear his hair long! Of course short hair was the thing in England so ...

@Rikitocker

Love the saints!

[Rikitocker]

Australian band The Saints came up against the exact same thing Henry is talking about with image. John Lydon was appalled by the way the Punk scene became this fixed fashion where you had uniforms.

[Monoettes]

@Rikitocker

Johnny is a fashion plate then and today go figure

[Rikitocker]

@Monoettes The point Lydon was making was that there should be NO fixed uniform ... he was about anything goes and he always said that Punk when it was first fresh was about diversity. it very quickly became a fixed idea once the media got its hooks in. John has always enjoyed playing with image ... hence Public Image "Belongs to me, my own creation, my grand finale, my goodbye"

@Rikitocker

That is very interesting. I saw Johnny Rottens butth**** when he came by much later with PIL with an MTV tour. guess sold out by then. Nonetheless he was wearing some white shorts with a fake fur V and threw condoms out from his V while singing here's my disease you want my disease, then dropped his pants and took a white towel and ran it inbetween his legs and daggled it out over the audience as they fought for the towel. Now thats entertainment. lol

[Monoettes]

No, we love him!

bitch on your knees- youre in the right position, but just shut the fuck up and let the legend complete his own sentences

[Rikitocker]

@PAULLONDEN - You wouldn't have a clue - the comments I made are quoted directly from Chris Bailey HIMSELF! He didn't forget to cut his hair ... he wore it that way because he grew up with short hair - long hair was the rebellion for him at that time.

[PAULLONDEN]

@Rikitocker Not true ,when you see pre Saints Baily photographs,he always looked like a scruffy hippie.Sure,in the 60's it was a rebellion to have long hair.He just forgot to cut it around '77,Although..The Saints never professed to be a "punk' band.It was an Australian rock band that looked a bit out of date in Europe.

@markmason36 Don't think so as they never met. Also the Exploited were nice boys and wouldn't do such a thing even if they had met.
