Saw PiL on Jools last week and was so impressed that Ive just got their new album.

And it got me thinking, have they played at Glasto before? What are the chances for next year? Do the Eavis's like them?

For a silly old fool, Mr Lydon is still entertaining and the new album is pretty impressive, in my opinion.

Saw them in Bournemouth a couple of months ago and it was one of my gigs of the year.

Went there with quite low expectations, but they were great - they got into a bit of a dubby groove and played for about two and a half hours.

John was entertaining as always, but interestingly was a lot less of the cartoon character he turns into when fronting the Pistols.

I'd see them again if they played at G.

Never seen them before but I'd jump on the chance if they played Glasto. Bit like Big Audio Dynamite last time round.

[ghandi]

saw them on Jules as well. Really quite impressed, i'd see them at G.

Their new album called This is PiL is really quite good. I'm just on my second play and sounds easily as good as anything they've done before.

It must be the only album in the world that starts with a bloke in his late 50's belching! But don't let that put you off!!

Pretty much the best band around at the moment. Both in terms of record and the live show. Criminal how they're not massive.

[abdoujaparov]

New album is surprisingly good...would definitely wander along to see them if they played

[G1T]

Saw them at Beautiful Days and they were awesome there too. Then again, I'm a massive John Lydon fanboy. The current drummer used to be in bands like the Slits and the Pop Group as well, which impressed me anyway.

Lots of love for Lydon on here. Come on Eavis's, get PiL booked for 2013.

They'd be a great other stage act, during sunset or afterwards.

I saw Private Image Limited* in August at Sub89 club in Reading. I have to say, musically they were absolutely fantastic. Much, much better than they were back in the late 70s when I saw them at Stonehenge.

* my new name for the band considering how they used heavy security to prevent me from taking my usual gig photos. Far too interested in their own image rights than they should be considering Lydon's reputation. That said, to deal with my heckling calling him a capitalist bastard he did ask his security to back off halfway through his set as he looked extremely embarrassed by then.

i've listened to the new album a couple of times this morning. Brilliant. Best stuff i've heard for a while. Please book them Eavi!! I reckon forget a big stage , lets put them on headlining the Avalon stage!

[ghandi]

Actually scrub that..... better make it the Park , are you listening Emily!

[UEF]

I was actually stood next to Johnny during his Jools performance a couple of weeks ago and I can tell you, that guy walked the walk the whole time he was there - from having a laugh with the audience, taking the piss out other acts, and gobbing on the studio floor at regular intervals. You've gotta hand it to him for his consistency.

In contrast a friend of mine saw them at Rochester Castle and said they were terrible; however he was more there for The Wedding Present so maybe that's why.

[Vieuphoria]

I'd love to see PIL. New album is great, and their old stuff is obviously brilliant. They look good live too. Hopefully they'll be there.

[mungo57]

Just saw their stuff they played on Jools, really really good!

Known about these for a while but not a Pistols fan so was kinda put off by Johnny but I stand corrected. These NEED to be at G!

[STEVEYBOY]

Please please PiL

[BA4 4BY]

Haven't seen PiL live since 1983 and would love to see them at Glasto. I saw the Pistols in 2007 but would rather see PiL again if I had to choose!

[johnny-yen]

Their new album has not left my CD player all weekend. Album of the year, so far, for me.

Get them booked.

[johnny-yen]

The deluxe CD came with a live DVD recorded earlier this year. I've just finished watching it. The old fool has still got it. Very entertaining. I really want to see them at Glasto next year.
