889.0. "The Sex Pistols" by JUMBLY::OCONNOR (Shhhh!) Fri Aug 16 1991 16:00

    I'm getting worse. I've moved from crashing dinosaur rock to thrash to
    more metal, that is the sex pistols ummm "only" record "Never Mind The
    Bollocks".

    The two tracks I'm hooked on are "Bodies" and "E.M.I.". A free musician's 
    magazine which I picked up recently described this as "more heavy
    metal" (ps they liked it) and I'd agree with that except that it hasn't
    got the same attitude problems.

    Anyway I'd better take up my bed and walk to the Heavy_Metal conference.
    You don't really want to talk about this do you ? Metal and scrap-yard
    rock...We don' wanna baby that looks like that...'n srfsup::berzer don'
    wanna baby that looks like that! -;)

	'Making Music' mag seems to think they were some kind of precursor to the early 80's 'Noo Waif of Brit 'Eavy Metal' or summat. Still, they at least recommend their lp as a great influence. I've got a live lp of the Pistols recorded sometime in '76, and jolly good it is too. Bob

	There's something in that theory. If you listen to PIL's "Album" (or is it "Cassette" or "CD" or "I taped it off the radio, actually") then that really is hard rock, at least in its original sense before the boys with blow-waved hair and lycra trousers made it ridiculous. Rod
889.4	Definitely not HM	EUSEBE::STURT	Totally wired	`Thu Sep 19 1991 10:04`	7
	Which PIL album are you referring to? None of the first three sound the slightest bit like HM. The second - "Metal Box" originally sold as a series of maxi singles enclosed in a record-shaped metal box - was genuinely innovative and had a marked influence on British post-punk new wave, or whatever you want to call it, in the early 80s.
889.5	Not one of the first three LPs	RUTILE::MACFADYEN	book was successfully built %DVC-I-BOOKBUILT,	`Thu Sep 19 1991 15:07`	5
	As I said in .3, I'm referring to the PIL album "Album", which was released Circa 1985. Rod
