Re: (TV) Heated debate:anti-Pistols rant

[eric gregory <crackcity_2000@yahoo.com>]

holy shit, man...i mean yr entitled to yr opinion, but
you think the jam are hot but HATE the pistols?
rotten's a pile of shit these days, but why do i(& why
should you) LOVE the pistols?
rotten's lyrics for one thing...fucking evil
poetry/rants that defined the moment & all its
attendant possibilities/limits.
his voice & phrasing...like nobody else in rock &
roll...more power than dylan at his best.
jones' obvious but killer fusion of johnny thunders &
classic slop-rock ala the faces/stones (tho jones
turned into a thorough jerk), the rhythm section
(meaning matlock/cook) were furious & tight.
& what they meant in their time & place...i mean the
clash were a phenomenal group, but they & nobody you
mentioned (besides costello & he woulda been like the
eagles if it weren't for the pistols' arrival) would
have existed without the SPs.
try & listen again without all the accumulated crap...
