Were better than the Sex Pistols & about a million times better than all those crappy american 2 chord punk bands that litter this forum.

Do you have an m3 and can you say more about them?Cause it takes alot to be better than Ramones and the pistols.

Urban Hat€monger ? · 12-24-2004, 05:29 PM

They are John Lydon`s post pistols band, they fused electronic music with a punk attitude & were a massive influence on electronic & industrial music. Of course if you`re looking for 3 chord punk rock like the Ramones you`ll hate it , but if you`re the sort of person who beleives that music can sound aggrassive without the aid of loud guitars then you might find you`ll like this.

I`d choose their Metal Box album over Never Mind The Bollocks any day.

Okay to tell you the truth there okay but nothing compared to the ramones.

Fair enough , but I don`t find the Ramones challenging enough personally.

I think PiL and Sex Pistols had a lot of talent even compared to the contemporary stuff that was popular then. But, it's hard to compare, because they sound so different, you'd almost forget it was Rotten. Annalisa and Public Image are really good songs, they're much better than any Pistols song.

Public Image LTD, Is very different from the psitols, and in many ways better, it still holds all of lydon's abrasiveness, ony in a more advanced form, the metal box album, or second edition, depending on format, is genius. Lydon's vocals are supreme, and the fusion of genres is intense. I have to thank urban for uploading this album, im sure this will turn into one of my favourite bands

I got one of their albums - quite good, if a little hard to get fully into. Some very nice basslines may I add. I cant believe how diffeernt they are from the Sex Pistols.
