The guitar tone that Keith Levene gets on this, the very first PIL song, was something else. If you were lucky enough to be around at the time, it was so, so different. I was 14 when I bought this single, and fortunate that my Da spent a lot on his sound system. To hear this blasting through speakers that he used at discos, via a savage pre-amp and amp, ... you'd grit your teeth in the last bit. The neighbours complained, most of my friends thought it was insane. And today, it still sounds better than 80% of the music made now, because it was real. Because they meant it. It's art.

If anything the lyrics are even more pertinent today than when they were written in 1978. The bass is a work of the simplest genius.

A classic single heralding the birth of post punk and a mandatory contender for my top ten. Keith Levene delivers one of the greatest riffs ever with Wobble in the drivers seat and Lydon in peerless form. Fantastic. It blew me away when I first heard it on initial release and still does.

Keith Levenes guitar work in this song is so under rated. There is one bass line that plays thru the entire song (great one too), but there is no verse, chorus, bridge or middle 8 like most songs.

It's true the whole British Punk Rock scene, will go down in history as being a time of rebellious young individuals (there where so many fabulous groups) If truth be known we all enjoyed being different, mixed together with it's unusual lyrics & explosive fast paced music. I guess it's ingrained in our DNA. Long live British Culture. Freedom & Peace, always.

Simply a perfect song, the essence of post punk, smart, intellectual, critical, brilliant bass line, brilliant guitar riffs, Lydon's inimitable voice. It doesn't get better than this. It's up there with other Platonic essences like Tomorrow Never Knows or GBV's Gold Star for Robot Boy.

You never listen to a word that I said You only seen me For the clothes that I wear Or did the interest go so much deeper Imust have been The colour of my hair CHORUS Public image What you wanted was never made clear Behind the image was ignorance and fear You hide behind this public machine Still follow same old scheme CHORUS Two sides to every story Somebody had to stop me I'm not the same as when I began I will not be treated as property CHORUS Public image you got what you wanted Public image belongs to me It's my entrance My own creation My grand finale My goodbye

Some of PIL's intro's are insane. This, Annalisa, Under The House, Careering, Banging The Door, and many many others. I've loved PIL since 1978.

Me and you together...How he can tour again after his personal loss is breathtaking. Looking forward to the new album...End of world...I am convinced an album to pay tribute to Nora but also have other meaning's.

RIP indeed Keith, one of my heroes, from a time when music meant something!!!! And Jah Wobble also legendary, in fact with John Lydon it doesn't get much better does it!!!!

It's tragic that there's so little of Keith Levene's work on record. I was lucky enough to be around Townhouse Studios in London while PIL were recording Flowers of Romance, and KL actually gave me a masterclass on how to get that magisterial sheet-metal guitar sound. Then I changed my name to The Edge...OK, that bit's a lie. He was a gentle, friendly guy with absolutely no vanity about him. Little anecdote, his brother came down to the sessions one night. Affable, totally straight-looking schoolteacher chap, tweed jacket, pipe, but with a dry sense of humour. Mind you I don't know what was in the pipe. I digress. It's high time Keith Levene got his due. Any chance of an album of outtakes, great lost tracks etc?
