Wow, really nice writing! Congratulations on a very professional article. --kingboyk 21:01, 24 September 2005 (UTC)
- I don't think it's professional at all. It's far too hilarious, interesting, and controversial to be professional :-)

[edit] Avant-Garde
Avant-Garde too, yeah? Definately. I agree with myself. LOVE AND INSANITY. I shall put on avant-garde under this argument and truth. AVANT GARDE IS PUBLIC IMAGE. A lot of it is very random.{{subst:18:41, 7 August 2007|172.159.3.80}}
[edit] Disputed
"Miles Davis also played on these sessions but his contributions were never used." This isn't very difficult to imagine, but I haven't seen this documented anywhere. This Miles Davis discography is very thorough, and doesn't mention it at all (and it would, even if the recordings were unused). -- Gyrofrog (talk) 17:05, 28 September 2005 (UTC)
- As this has been here almost a month with no other comments, I will remove the statement in question. -- Gyrofrog (talk)
It was documented in the liner notes to Plastic Box by Lydon himself///// —Preceding unsigned comment added by [[User:|]] ([[User talk:|talk]] • contribs) date

Haha...
[edit] jamaica
the trip to Jamaica also involved an attempt at shoe-horning John Lydon into Devo... they had Devo in one room, and Lydon in another... Devo walked as soon as they realized what was happening.
The first album was known as "First Edition", wasn't it? not "First Issue".
[edit] Warrior

Why is this missing from the discog and not mentioned in the history. Surely it's an important piece in musical history. I have added it along with covered and acid drops as they are listed as singles on some discogs though i can't confirm it. I believe they may have been cancelled though there are promos. I'll put cancelled aside them if anyone doesnt think they should be there remove them. I can't find the chart position for warrior. --Neon white 15:07, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:PiLFirstIssue.jpg
Image:PiLFirstIssue.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 09:18, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pete Jones website
The link to Pete Jones' website describing his time in PiL is fine, but the links to myspace and selling mp3s violates WP:SPAM. Freshacconci 00:40, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Fodderstompf
This is not Lydon and Wobble, it is Lydon and Levine - Lydon even utters 'Keith' at one point. I have changed the reference. Robojam 21:09, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Kate Bush
The text describing how Kate Bush tried to duplicate Wobble's sound belongs in a different section, not the one about Flowers of Romance. Wobble was no longer in the band when that album was recorded. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 21:50, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Genre
No one could seriously call PiL a rock band. It's major audience is probably avant-guard rock/pop fans, but that doesn't make them a rock band. And anyhow, the band themselves claimed to be post-rock and roll. If anyone really wants me to prove that, I can find the interview on Youtube again. Anyhow, I removed one single word from the entire article: the word "rock" in the first sentence. --MQDuck (talk) 05:42, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
