No no, what was the rude word ??

I adore Lydon in this moment

He looks like a wee school boy caught

Quote from: JesusAndYourBush on April 02, 2024, 01:51:03 AMMy favourite line in the Grundy interview is "They're as drunk as I am."

Tony Wilson got him to appear at the (then) G-Mex for a 10th anniversary of punk concert in '86. Grundy got plastered as the day went on, giving Paul Morley a whack with his walking stick, and when he was finally on stage he announced: "seldom have I seen so many scruffy cunts in one place at one time".

ShiT

(Although you should've asked- "It's what?" And then I reply "Nothing! A rude word...")

I've always wanted to meet you SteveDave...

Still hate how Matlock is portrayed ti be this wee straight laced goon

He was so guid in the Grundy interview
 Loved him in in it
The wee scamp



"He's like your Dad ain't he , this geezer, or your grandad ?"

That's my favourite bit. Of ALL the things to call him.

Wot a fackin' rotta.

There is him introducing the Fall on Seminal Live from that.

Those channel 4/5 clip shows all make out that the whole country was shocked by the Grundy appearance but it was only on Thames TV wasn't it?  Everyone else would have had to wait around 15 years before it was shown again, unless they could source a vhs copy.

Yup.

In Scotland the front pages were taken up with our own scandal when Glen Michael shoved Paladin up his arse live on Cartoon Cavalcade.

I remember excerpts with the f-word bleeped being played on Radio One in some sort of pop history programme around the turn of 1984 and 1985.

Even if most of the country hadn't seen it go out live, the immediate media-driven shitstorm was national. Even in the 90s I heard the legend long before I saw it. One of the rare examples of something being built up and actually being much better than I imagined.

So did some guy really kick his TV set in with outrage?

I like the Mirror suddenly going all Noo Yoik detective at the bottom with WHO ARE THESE PUNKS?

Shocker

Was there really no plan in place to swiftly kill the mics of obvious swearing men the Sex Pistols if they started swearing? Would have arguably been funnier if it had suddenly cut to Tom and Jerry on the 'uck' of the first fuck.

The Classic Albums episode about Never Mind the Bollocks was on Sky Arts the other night, an interesting watch.

I knew it was shocking at the time, but I had no idea it was... A BIG TV RUMPUS

'murder' pardon shocker
what a fucking rotter

a mate of mine put PIL on about a decade ago in bexhill and when he went to lydon's green room to be all like oh hello mr rotten you're on in 10 minutes he got snapped at by mr rottens like NO I'M NOT and stared at him with a face like thunder until he silently closed the door

i actually got asked to support jah wobble a few weeks ago but i turned it down bc it was him with his two sons and their awful family band and that sounded bobbins

edit: i misremembered what he actually said. he actually said NO YOU'RE ON IN TEN MINUTES

love weird old punks. james chance once legitimately told me to 'contort myself' after i played a show with him humblebrag

sounds like he needed a John Lie Down (Lydon)

Brilliant attention to detail in that Amish clip!

So they got the full gamut of Lydon expression. That one note is getting very tired.

The side-by-side shows this

No one's ever completely irredeemable. Hitler was a dog lover, and Johnnie liked Shakin' Stevens & The Sunsets.

It's a fucking work of art is what it is. A tonally perfect pastiche that casts new light on the source - Picasso would be proud of that!
