"I bought this in Beta when I was in Hawaii, didn't even have a Beta player...saw it finally at my uncles after I got out years later. I watch it here now and damn, this performance is the shit. The bass player drives the nail and Martin Atkins on drums blows my mind."

[@theaurarune]

Nice find! love the sound of the bass, what a wicked bass line!

[@hbangerb]

j.l. you are a poet, pull no punches, shine on mon frere

[@darksorcerermusic]

the bass line and the drums are the real hook ...lydons vocals add some sugar to the cake...the keyboard intro was cool too

[@Wez666]

Awesome song!

[@pollmeister]

a liar on the alter!!!!!!!i love it mate

[@swalk813]

This song was instrumental in breaking up the Sex Pistols. John had already written it and was trying to get the other boys on board during the USA tour...they had already tuned him out by then. Their (and our) loss.

[@davidsykes1281]

So true John !

[@utchpunk9611]

Best version here

[@Hacker73]

John Joseph Lydon: SIMPLY THE GREATEST FUCKING GENIUS EVER!!! He's the incarnated intelligence itself. Love him or hate him: this man broke the Music History in 2 parts: Before and After the Punk. HE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PERSON IN THE ENTIRE POP CULTURE HISTORY. He changed the course of rivers of thoughts. The rest is the rest.

[@PhotoCher]

Regarding religion, Nick Cave has many songs which deal with the issue in a thoughtful way. Both Randy Newman and the Residents have a " Godsong". Both wise.

[@NicCageCDXX]

This is new wave. And, since they were different, more cutting, more innovative, PiL was, in fact, more punk.

[@TheMroczny]

I watched this film a few times. Really. And long time ago and couple weeks ago too. This discussion began with using by others bad words about christian religion. The song talks this same.

[@skeletonkey6]

Great video, I like the way it was filmed- very psychedelic.Does anyone know what year this was?

[@matiasdanielgimenez91]

Hey man, thanks for your comment! it doesn't seem that my comments are labeled as "spam". Either someone marked them as "not spam" or is just because they're replies to a comment with too many thumbs down. Most of us here bitch about the catholic university (even many people who call themselves catholics), because it's the only univesity in "town" to study things like law or psychology, not to mention it's a private university (paying for studying theology sucks).Out of space Have a nice day!

[@angellopezvila]

JO TAMBE ESTIMO EN JOHNNY ... P.I.L FOREVER . ANLOVI

[@Gvzta]

PIL NEVER DIES

[@matiasdanielgimenez91]

jamsam12: I just gave you a thumb up to cheer you up! But really, I go along with maurie and think it would be cool if you gave a shot at zeitgeist, that is unless you already have by now. It's not THAT great of a film and is not like it will destroy anybody's faith, but I'm sure it can get you to think about a lot of things. Peace

[@PostPunkFan]

This came out the year I was born. Fuck. I was born waaaaay too late.

[@JuventudeLeonina]

PIL amiga,,,

[@matiasdanielgimenez91]

Amen

[@ELGROOVER]

As re£evant a$ €ver...(dig the 'fallen halo' John).

[@TheMroczny]

I don't agree. But tell me why is the best?

[@pitchblacksuperdarkh]

how?

[@Takac1979]

Lydon!!!

[@St37One]

1978

[@matiasdanielgimenez91]

Yes, this song is a bit atheistic. I really liked it back in the day when I came out (as an atheist). I'm not sure if the bible lies, but it's condratictory and should not be taken too literally.

[@Volanne]

Who's the Genius? Lydon? McLaren? Both?

[@swalk813]

*what John said*.

[@TheSMeBEATS]

thats Religion ......!!!!!!money for nothin`

[@bapyou]

Blasphemy! Yeeeeeaaaaahhhh!

[@MisAnnThorpe]

This is Wobble at his best. No one can replicate Jah's bass playing. It's wholly (or should that in this instance be holy?!) inimitable. What?! It's not Wobble? I don't really rate it myself!

[@juki1x]

This song was supposed to be a Sex Pistols song...wonder what it would have sounded like.

[@NicCageCDXX]

Just start playin around with some power chords and speed it up. I'm sure you can come up with something good.

[@TheMroczny]

christian religion is not bad. People are evil, not relirion. di u heard about pope John Paul II? He was talking so much about peace and goodness. And he was a face of catholics. People in church are different. In My opinion it is the best religion

[@wisesatyr72]

the greatest so much better than the swindler ; Malcolm Mcclaren

[@St37One]

I guess its okay to call it punk or post punk, but there are better words like honesty, independance and individuality, reality and truth loving. Maybe there should be a new word for it.

[@TheMroczny]

Maybe your theories are true (It's credible). People don't think about believe and God and church. They wanna spend their lives in silmply way. But in bible we can find a logical whole. Ancient believe and science fiction stories like Potter are completely different! It's similar to people who don't know it well. All the best! So all users give me more bad rates If u wanna (like in my previous comment)

[@davidsykes1281]

It seems most are evil ..

[@matiasdanielgimenez91]

You tell me about studying religion. Down here where i live, the only chance for studying law is attending the catholic university. I DO have to study theology and all that jazz. And you need a christian mindset because otherwise you just "don't get it". It's almost convincing. That's it: ALMOST. But then I think about muslims and the flying spaghetti monster and whatever you may name, that's just plain nuts. You can't hope for intellectual superiority if you allow religion to hold you back.

[@lawrenceomond7341]

Peoples....... There is no god, never has been.. never will be.. please find something else. stop killing people in the name of..

[@iamnotcoolandproud]

Both, but McLaren was partly (and only partly!) a wanker.

[@TheMroczny]

Using that words you hurt many people who believe. Jesus is a real historic person. You haven't right when u think that is a lie and shit too. Bible was writting by many people and long time (a fiew centuries). I know I cannot confute u to trust it but don't affront, please. Be happy with your disbelief. Greatings

[@pitchblacksuperdarkh]

because its not violent hateful greedy or evil like islam and christianity

[@MisAnnThorpe]

If you truly believe that by removing religion from the world all negativity would vanish with it then you are naive enough and gullible enough to belong to a religious organisation yourself.
