The very definition of Avant Garde, exquisite music, artistry and talent. Even after so many years, PIL still comes from the future

[@ozricaurora6943]

All of their music has very typical auras of the time they were in. This has an early 90s sound.

Love John lydon...Most intelligent, funny, deeply honest and talented guy in the whole music industry! No bullshit with him! 😎🖤🎸🎼🎙🇬🇧

[@Sarah-gf9ed]

I absolutely love Johnny, he is the most fascinating, intelligent, articulate, authentic, talented and absolutely gorgeous rock star on the planet! I could watch and listen to him all day! He has me transfixed! LOL! ❤❤❤❤

[@Emulous79]

The fact that he sees it all as bollocks has me on his side.

[@markdavey8809]

i was a little punk on the run in the winter of 1990 i loved the pistols dk slf many years later i first listened to this song in the kitchen of my freezing cold cottage in wales on mdma as that guitar came crashing in my life changed again this is one of the best pil songs the journey is so deep his voice moves from sarcasm to heartbreaking wailing wicked xxxx when he played glastonbury five years ago he dedicated rise to nelson mandela calling him by his true african name in that set he wailed like a banshee in pain amazing all our love to u mr lydon xxxx

Underrated album.

[@dbwrc]

one of my favourite pil tracks, a multi layered masterpiece

I love Lydon's odd enunciation of the English language in verse - utterly weird and great!

I never was great on picking up on music at the first listen, but this is so good it leaves me breathless.

[@jans2887]

Just heard this song yesterday. Moved me almost to tears. I don't know why. Prior to that I had only heard Order of death. Ordered The Plastic Box (4 CD compilation) last night. It's arriving today, i can't wait 😊

The music reminds me the late 80s albums of The Stranglers

[@krazytroutcatcher]

Every time I see him in these old videos, he reminds me of Mr Spliffy.

[@CallampaProducciones]

Listen Public Image, After that listen Order Of Death, After That listen Rise, After That listen Cruel and Finally after that listen Reggie Song. And tell me if you believe it's the same band. Pil Rules

[@Ocasek77]

And Blue Water! ^^

[@Ocasek77]

***** Same frontman, same brain behind the music, if you ask me. Also same band name, and if you ask me, that means it can't go from pop music to death metal or something, or rap. If you ask me :)

[@Ocasek77]

***** I really like This is what you Want, and also "9" and "Happy" too. So you know. But it changed after Keith's quit. Yes indeed

[@CallampaProducciones]

Callampa Producciones Thats truth Pil changed a lot when Keith Quit, But a diference of a lot when Keith Quit. All the albums with Keith are great (First Issue, Metal Box, Paris Au Printemps, Flowers of Romance, Commercial Zone ) But after that, John and his boys realse really good albums (Album, Happy?,) But as always was some Shit albums (This is what you want....This is what you get, Live in tokyo, That what is not) I'm in the middle with '9' And the new Pil with his album ''This is PIL'' is one of my favorites. This '2015' 4 of september they release a new album called 'What the World Needs Now.....' I'm almost sure that it gonna be best than 'This is PIL', But Never knows. Apart from that is the first album of the band with the same line up. Regards form chile :)

[@starchasserr]

PUNK'S NOT DEAD!!!! POST PUNK

[@szarzyniecszczurzynski1902]

It's far beyond post punk. The later PIL albums are frequently spoken of as "more commercial" but I love all of them anyway. You can feel Lydon's personality everywhere in them and more spatial sound/production gives them very much in plus and goes very well with the songs. Great new wave/rock/alternative/pop music from the great band!

[@karenprior866]

I love all pil songs but cruel was the best 😊

After all these years and i guess Johnny was the true rebel after all, and i who just thought it was a gimmick. What, with Malcolm McLaren and all that. I was pretty young when i read about you SP on Löningstrasse in, well was it in Munchen? This song is splendid! Keep up the good work.

[@hjillumi880]

which one

[@twistedspanner]

" You have the tools to make men fools" 👌 The Radio session version of this is much better. Available on Plastic Box. More powerful. I much prefer early PIL but this is a classic along with Acid Drops. Wish I'd bought the vinyl when it came out instead of the cassette. Vinyls were at an all time low then.

[@AnnaMontana-gn4hb]

[@user-nv7kl4ko1n]

Стив Джонс сказал в интервью, что The sex pistols были не рокенрольной группой (другие цели и задачи). А какое направление PIL (понятно, постпанк)? Лайдон, думаю, и здесь не оставил терзать свою любимую социальную тематику... Так как у него, ни у кого не получалось.
