We mentioned that PiL was touring on the revenue frontman John Lydon earned from doing some British butter adverts. Now Lydon is tantalizing fans further with the news that as long as they generate a little income on tour, PiL will hit the recording studio to produce new material. Lydon builds up the anticipation, saying that “Yes, if I raise the money from this, I most definitely will [record new PiL material]…”, and lays out the guerilla tactics he and the band have adopted on their previous recordings, noting that “every single time we recorded we only had one take, no money.” Taking us back to 1978, John Lydon recalls the days when “The Jam would pull out of Goldhawk Road [after recording in Townhouse Studios]… They’re writing their new hit wonderful album because they have lots of record company backing. We knew they’d left so we’d run in, quickly record it, and that’s Metal Box for you. That’s basically the John Lydon approach to music – wham, bam, thank you ma’am.” This was also Lydon’s approach to sex, as everyone remembers his classic “Love is 2 minutes and 52 seconds of squelching noises.” At least now he says ‘thank you’.
