Then again I am too young to remeber PIL. However, yes, the sex pistols started the whole punk revolution, blah etc...
Someone needed to, and the idea only came from Mclaren when there were plenty of garage bands, and people playing in there bedroom and such. I prefer PIL because it is pure John Lydon. I have Never Mind The Bollocks, but only like the sum of 1 song on it. I would rather get the Uk Subs on and the like for pure spit, grime and poorly tuned instruments.
So there.

Stiff Little Fingers in '79 but couldn't go.
Went to see AC/DC instead and that was the end of Punk for me!

but I can see the appeal.
A friend of mine is very similar. He showed me his ticket stubs once, from the days you used to get them back. I noticed he had seem the New York Dolls, he replied 'I have seen the New York Dolls?'. You wouldnt think it looking at him now he spent most his time off his tits on acid.

I was in the audience of the Tube (if you can remember that).
The only band based on a pair of high heels!

Was this before or after Tommy?
I kinda remember the Tube. My mum sometimes let me stay up late if one of my milk teeth was playing me up.

it was Hawkwind who started the whole punk revolution, and new romantics and hip hop.

Sex Pistols were over rated but generally fun as someone who missed them by about 15 years. PiL were shit apart from rise. I got their best of and was embarrased at what i was listening to. nasty.

I rather enjoy PIL. Death Disco being another great track.
The Metal Box is great too. Has no rise, but still worth a listen. I have not got the greatest hits though, but like any greatest hits, its not always the best selection of tunes.

this is not a love song is ok though
it's got the same bassline as Relax and I can imagine Lydon writing after sitting in meetings with Virgin / Branson.

for a mate with TINALS on it. Except I recorded it off a 45RPM EP at 33RPM - it works even better like that - or was it the other way around - anyway

Srsly. He never does. Ever.
I failed to see the Pistols twice in '96: I was a steward at the Finsbury park gig, and at the Phoenix festival. For the fomer, I spent the gig with my back to the stage punching ageing punks as they tried to climb the delay tower. For the latter, I was sat on a fire-tower on a campsite about 167 miles away. I could see the top of the stage, but nothing else...
