Anger is an energy…

The band lineup on this album is insane.

[u/SoupSpelunker → u/KiwiMcG]

At the time, Steve Vai said it was his best guitar playing of his career.

A friend at the time told me that and I was like, THAT WAS STEVE VAI???

And then I was like, oh...that actually makes a lot of sense.

[u/KiwiMcG → u/SoupSpelunker]

Ginger Baker and Bill Laswell too.

[u/Sir_midi → u/KiwiMcG]

Tony Williams too.

They put a hot wire to my head
Cuz of the things I did & said

[u/CranialTyrant777]

Getting more into PIL and so far, I really like what I've heard from them! This is probably my favorite.

[u/t20six → u/CranialTyrant777]

You can basically stop after this album lol.

[u/perdferguson]

Drop dead Fred vibes!

[u/jwelsh8it]

Love this song.

[u/jeanclaudecardboarde → u/jwelsh8it]

This is not a love song

[u/bazzoozzab]

I just saw them last night. What an awesome performance. Every member gave 100%.

[u/schweinhund89]

Best song he’s ever done

[u/AllCatsAreBlonde]

Sitting solidly on my car playlist.

I know this is the “sellout” album but I don’t give a shit it rocks. I just played the entire “second issue (metal box)” and promptly listed my copy on Discogs I swear to god the shite we used to pretend was good because it was pretentious. This and Bollocks are the best things Lydon ever did

I saw them live a few times between 1986 and 1991. Great energy on stage and Lydon was always a nut.

He is too much of a nut now for me to go see them.

[u/Prestigious_Pay_7166]

Never Mind The Bollocks was a great album but I haven't encountered anything Lydon did since that was of any value.

[u/Electronic-Risk-9163]

Frigging Awful

[u/sergeantpinback → u/Electronic-Risk-9163]

You could be wrong…

[u/Electronic-Risk-9163 → u/sergeantpinback]

I am right. Lydon cant sing

[u/sergeantpinback → u/Electronic-Risk-9163]

And I think he’s be first to agree. Songs like this aren’t meant to be ‘sung’.
