Johny McG was not only one of the most unique and innovative guitar players of all time, he also bears a remarkable resemblance to Beeker from the muppet show. I have long maintained that most all great bands would fit right in on Sesame street or the muppet show. This video strongly confirms that theory

Ooooohh sh!t, he DOES look like BEEKER! I went to th School for Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati Ohio, U.S.A., and have a friend who worked on The Muppets for years. He said he got a kick when musicians got nervous when filming on the show. He asked a guy why once and he said, " Are you kidding man? This is the Muppets. This is serious!" I love that:)!!!

This is live music at its best !!! Superb !!!

XLNT. Just reading John's Autobiography 'Anger Is An Energy'. Love this song and the sentiment.

Your comment was from 2 years. No one can or will diminish what the Sex Pistols, the other bands that came out of nowhere (DIY), and the fans accomplished. It was serendipity. The right time, right place. In the UK, in the USA, it was a big enema to the music industry. It helped kill bands like Emerson Lake & Palmer, Yes (until they reconstituted in the late '80's), Triumph, Eagles, Jackson Browne, all the California granola groups. It was wonderful. We went from 12 minute opuses to 3 minute hard and fast. To the individual who said PiL/Rise isn't punk ... no, it's punk grown up. It's still subversive. Listen to the lyrics. Anger is an energy. Burn your city to the ground. The price of Hulu (US) Disney+ (UK) is well worth the price for the Sex Pistols docu-drama "Pistol". All you young-ins can find out what really happened 45 some odd years ago. I really came here to rag on Johnny Rotten Lyndon in this PiL video from 1988. What would have made Johnny about 28-30 yrs old dress like this? Dude, what's up with the pseudo Jamaican hair style. I guess Johnny mon need he dreads wrapped. I know it was '88 and it travels well, but the shorts clown outfit has got to be written off to youth and the year. That would be the story I would stick with. Love you John. We got old and fat together. But, we had a hell of a youth. You're a damn good writer!

The drummer is excellent!

Saw PIL @ Mississippi Nights in St Louis back then-intimate venue with speakers on My shoulder and the band at My feet. One of the best ever

Fun fact, Malcolm McLaren, Sex Pistols marketing mastermind, actually tried to register "Johnny Rotten" as his commercial property after John Lydon ditched the character in the rise of Public Image and btw, Lydon doesn't like the Rotten persona by any means, he actually made Public Image as a form of liberation from his Pistols days. While Lydon is the musical genius, Rotten is the character, the "Public Image".
