John Lydon bbc2 now

He's put on a bit of weight!

Liver problems?

He's definitely porked up. The breakfast Bloody Mary can't be helping.

Think he's eaten Malcolm McLaren, not seen him for a while.

"Are you a health nut? " Ffs woman are you blind

Malcom is dead, keep up !

Yeah, dead tasty.

Had to laugh at JR on Jools a few months ago. Love him dearly, but he's a bit of a joke now bless him.

Sold out to the establishment. Advertising butter ffs.

He seems a lot less angry than he used to be.

(8 min delay)

tis true

buttered up in the end
a la tout

Can't take away his early work though. The Sex Pistols were as important to the 70s music scene as the Beatles were to the 60s

Punk had so much energy and opened the doors for a lot of bands who would not have normally been given a chance to shine.

The Establishment wet their knickers over Punk.

He name Jimmy Saveloy ,F.A was Done


Top Fella Mr Rotten

crags

A tad exaggerated  methinks.

Every group that formed since Punk would not exist without it !

That is the Fact !

....and you know it

Multi millionaire establishment sell out, the kids fell for it.

Lydon and the Pistols were not that important....they just became the focus for the Tabloids to destroy.

Tabloids run by Murdoch and his contempories

Anarchy in the uk butter market

Would you turn down £100,000 for 3 days filming the ad?

Cause not

Roux not to

They were marketed well by mclaren, not a patch on the clash although i didnt realise at the time

they sort of took on the way hawkwind did their stuff but on a bigger commercial scale

so the hippies were the 1st punks

and you could say lemmy was the grandfather of the punk ideology

Lemmy  always came across as a bit of an idiot, too many drugs and booze, how many young girls lives did he ruin?

Punk / Newwave was more than just Nihilism, it was a political, social revolution.

Nora's got him on the new LA pie diet

Most of the early punk bands were just the boybands of their time put together by managers like McClaren who saw an opportunity to sell his clothes. The rest of the movement was the pub rock bands who couldn't believe their luck and went along for the ride and to make up the numbers.

^ B*llsh*t ^

some of it is right in the fact a high percentage of punk bands were talentless and who you've never heard of,
but I loved punk as a kid mostly because the hit music 76 was dire

A lot of bollocks talked about Punk.  At the time most people I knew just thought it was a bit of a laugh, we went to see the Sex Pistols just because of the pogoing and gobbing and even then they didn't turn up.

A few good bands but most were ****.  The bands that followed it were better.

Just watched this .... Jonny not looking too good.

Missed Lockerbie by 10 minutes....a bit like seth macfarlane and 9/11
