Most rock & roll celebs who die, seem to die of an overdose of some kind, just wondered !
he was before my time jon..but i did buy 1 of their albums before by accident when i was 16 as i thought it was d prodigy
NMTB - still an amazing album. Has stood the test of time.
I'll be sat in a plssy old chair in a granny farm singing pretty vacant one day :(
Got the bootleg Spúnk Rock. Best version of Pretty Vacant.
didn't mean now i was thinking of the jungle thing . But they are a british institution.
Punk may not have caught on in Wales, what with cavorting Druidry and close-harmony choirs, but outside the third world it was a pretty major cultural phenomenon.
I have to agree with ybor.
Called himself an anarchist but was only interested in making money.

saddened me when i heard, he kind of introduced me to classical music, ie aria on air,madame butterfly, something i had no interest in previously. don,t think you can take away the fact that he was instrumental in bringing about a change in the staid and sober way of thinking at the time which in my opinion was refreshing.
wrote 1 about you as wll grimster......i dont wanna be me....haha mike
Ted Grundy show was shockin stuff to my parents :0 -swearing on t.v hadnt been heard of at that time-not on a popular programme anyway -as a young lad nearing my teen years i thought it was feckn great :)
Agree with salmon though that it was all a front hence the great "ever get the feeling you`ve been **ed" comment during their ill fated
breaking up gig which was aimed in no small way towards MM
As has been said many times before theres a fine line between madman and genius and Malcom McLaren was both imo
Happy memories all the same -R.I.P fella

Talky Malky...a brave clever man...the world is a poorer place without him.......made a lot of you plebs think didnt he...man of the people..a true punk.
in my car right now I'm listening to Fred Sonic Smith and Johnny Thunders. I was never conned by foul mouthed English boys with ambitions to advertise butter or murder their girl friends.
Enjoy your Tea and Scones ybor very virtuous ....Mclarens may not have been everybodys cup of tea but you cant dispute his inluence on Music in the 70s and early 80s..So much better than the dross that is served up these days
:( What a sad start to the day. He and Lydon changed music, RIP.
ybor city, jonny thunders was in the new york dolls the first band that maclaren signed, try you tube ,JET BOY new yok dolls to see johhny in action its a classic track, you can see where he got his idea for the pistols, jonny also went on the first sex pistols tour in 1976.with the clash and the damned.

character, responsible for some ground breaking music
In what way was it ground breaking music? Apart from the swearing?
If you want ground breaking punk that told stories of social significance then listen to early 60s stuff like Substitute by The Who.

"i was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth" , could have been written about me .
You think we look pretty good together
You think my shoes are made of leather
But I'm a substitute for another guy
I look pretty tall but my heels are high
The simple things you see are all complicated
I look pretty young, but I'm just back-dated, yeah
Substitute your lies for fact
I can see right through your plastic mac
I look all white, but my dad was black
My fine looking suit is really made out of sack
I was born with a plastic spoon in my mouth
The north side of my town faced east, and the east was facing south
And now you dare to look me in the eye
Those crocodile tears are what you cry
It's a genuine problem, you won't try
To work it out at all you just pass it by, pass it by
Substitute me for him
Substitute my coke for gin
Substitute you for my mum
At least I'll get my washing done

err, didn't Mclaren ruin the Pistols ? and where did all the money go ? don't think he did much for poor Sid either. His cover of that Max Bygraves song was delicious though.
Without Malcolm McClaren no Sex Pistols or Clash
Glad i didn't have to live in a world like that...
