history:
Following the Sex Pistols' breakup, Lydon took a three-week trip to Jamaica with
Virgin Records head Richard Branson, in which Lydon helped scout for new reggae
artists.
After this vacation, Lydon approached Jah Wobble (né John Wardle) to start a new
band. The pairing seemed natural: they had been friends since the early 1970s,
and had casually played music together during the last days of the Sex Pistols.
Furthermore, they were both avid fans of reggae, and of what would later be
called world music. Lydon assumed, much as with his friend Sid Vicious - the Sex
Pistols' mid-career replacement for original bassist Glen Matlock - that Wobble
could learn to play bass guitar as he went. While that had proven a fatal
assumption with Vicious (Lydon cites his inability to learn his instrument as a
prime reason for the Pistols' breakup), Wobble would prove to be a natural
talent. Lydon also launched an effort to locate guitarist Keith Levene (né
Julian Levene), whom he had met on tour in mid-1976 while Levene was a member of
The Clash. Lydon and Levene had both considered themselves outsiders even within
their own bands. After Levene heard of the invitation, he quickly signed on. The
original drummer was Jim Walker (né Donat Walker) - a Canadian student newly
arrived in the UK - who answered an ad in a weekly music magazine.
PiL debuted with "Public Image", a single not far from Sex Pistols territory.
The single sold well enough to reach number 9 in the UK charts, and surprisingly
well as an import in the US, where the mainstream rock culture of the time was
strongly resistant to edginess or innovation. |
