Known for their innovative experimental sound Public Image Ltd were not just about Lydon rising from the ashes of the Sex Pistols pushing a new challenging sound. Bassist Jah Wobble and guitarist Keith Levene were the engine that propelled John’s lyrics. At their experimental heights Jah’s bass was PiL. It saddens me that Lydon thinks he can pull this off without him. It’s like New Order without Hooky. What’s the point?
“EVER GET THE FEELING YOU’VE BEEN CHEATED?”
I’ll Keep spinning the Metal Box and ignore the money grabbing comebacks. Run out of Country Life butter and reality show invites did you, John?
