PIL??

[Niblet]

Saw them supporting James at Alton Towers in about 1991 a great and hilarious gig, everyone was lobbing bottles at the stage and John Lydon shout at the crowd "You f@cking w@nkers, you've made me very rich, I get 10p back on each of these b@stards!"

Public Image Ltd. - John Lydon's (of Sex Pistols fame) band... best tracks to listen to (IMO) are Rise, Public Image, This Is Not A Love Song, Albatross, Swan Lake etc.

Would be a great addition just so long as he doesn't get carried away about being in the countryside and started harking on about Country Life Butter!

Without Jah Wobble and Keith Levene, it's not PIL. It's Lydon with a couple of others. Might be alright to see/listen to, but it's dead f**king wrong to call it PIL.

I'd much rather see Jah Wobble, he's done lots of interesting stuff and always puts on a good show.

I went to see PIL just before Christmas. I was going from Southampton to Brixton. I was driving, and it snowed. We got as far as Basingstoke and got stuck. For 12 hours. Then my wipers broke and I had to call the breakdown people.

So my experience of PIL is somewhat tainted!! I'd see them again though, but would be frightened of a plague of locusts starting or something...

Just got a ticket for their Dublin show in June, they're playing Isle of Wight, would LOVE to see them at Glasto too though.

This sounds f**king great!!

If car wipers are breaking due to snow on the way to Glasto - we're all in trouble

I remember that gig well, I was working doing the security at it. It was 14th July 1992 (Link) Yeah there was a couple of small bars at the right hand side of the stage, I was looking after one of them and it was little plasitc bottles of Holsten or some other crap lager

PiL have just been confirmed for Spain's Primavera Sound

[Stu H]

took my brother to see them in Glasgow in 2009 and they were shambolic ! But a decent gig, bizarrely !

[Josepipe]

Saw them one from the top (James headlined) at the Bingley Festival last year. Not great IMO.

[Vieuphoria]

Would be a band I would love to see. Could be either a total shambles or a moment of genius. Or quite possibly both.
