Really looking forward to this new album now...

Mind you, is there such a thing as a good PiL album ? They've made some good singles in the past but overall their albums are patchy affairs at best IMHO. Even their most acclaimed album (Metal Box) has some utter shite on it.

Still, I've been to a few of their gigs in the past and they have always been worth the effort live wise.

[Five Minutes]

I've got it but am a bit nervous about playing it. The last one was meh. This Is supposed to be better but I bet it isn't.

You're all (mostly) talking utter bollocks. I met him for his book launch. Blagged my way in and had a decent chat, free champagne, cider and lager

Spoke to him casually for a few minutes. Made him laugh, shook his hand and went away very pleased. This thread is turning into The Daily Mirror!!!!!!

There will be an interview with John Lydon on ITV tonight from 6.30pm onwards. Presumabley telling us what we can and cannot bring to the signing session.

[Boody]

Bit of a property magnate on the side when he's not flogging butter or on skiing holidays in ultra exclusive resorts. Not that I begrudge him anything. He just needs to drop the man of the people/rough diamond act.

Anyone arsed?

Ordered the album and looks likely I may do the Manchester date next month. See you all on tour...or not.

Playing in Glasgow this Friday night go as I've never seen them live.
Send me your email address and I'll send you some pictures from the Devotional.
