    Every single song on this album is excellent. It’s one of those where you don’t skip any. My ex-husband introduced me to P.I.L. when we first met in 1990. We got married in 1991 and divorced in 2018. Listening to this always takes me back to that first summer, walking to each other’s houses, just driving around listening to music, happy to be together.

      @Amy Barret: I introduced P.I.L. to my girlfriend when I met her, 13 years ago. She was far younger than me (she was 27, I was 39). I hated the age difference, didn't want people to think I was that kind of guy (I'm nearer in age of her parents, 11 years) but we really fell in love and I told her she shouldn’t because I was going to die way before her. She gave me the best answer « I could get hit by a car any day. Who says you'll die first? »... The was the most brillant answer I ever heard and there is not a day I regret my choice! We still listen to P.I.L. and I really hope that our story will never end like yours. I know I will never do that to her. Loyalty is too important to me (in love and in friendship). I'm really sorry that your story ended up like that, I hope you're doing well and I'm sending you a big hug. Your story touched me!

Incredibly professional and despite the bad cold he said he was suffering from, swigging large bottles of water, sang and performed like it was his best day. Band was tight and in sync. Unforgettable experience and I've seen almost everyone. My date and I could not hear for four hours after the show and just mouthed words to each other.

The others were only in it for the parties inwas in it for more and fuck were they jealous. No mohawk i actjally buy xlothes sometimes but ive always love a variety of music and when my friend died i realized i was rhe last true punk. He didnt put that show together when he was alive for peoole to grieve he wanted us to party i tried moshing knocking into these loser they just stood there getting mad at me. Thatsnwhen i realized luke and i were closer than any of them snd we only become close towards the end. He had more resoect for m3 because i had not filter no bullshit and i never fucking will.

    Whenever I hear this I wonder how many others wandered into the unspoken hell/bizarro world that is Seattle and lived to not only tell this tale, but fully understand this song's true meaning(s) as well.

    It might make more sense to know that it's only titled Seattle because they happened to be in that City when they wrote it but the whole album is a theme of military versus revolution versus wealth versus struggle etc.

      i'm with you, op. i have adored every pil album since first issue, each bringing its own unique sound to the table. i do think 9 was probably the weakest, but dang, everyone has a misstep every now and then, and that album is far from terrible. mcgeoch, edmonds, smith, all those later guys are badly under appreciated.

    Lu Edmonds and that saz. It's such a beautiful instrument. I'm familiar with him from The Mekons (remember Lu Cipher?), but I've loved this song since it came out. Imagine my shock when I learned a few years ago that Lu was part of PiL playing on Seattle with a writing cred. "Happy" times.

    Public Image Limited performed on Thanksgiving Night of 1987. It's still the Best Concert that I've Ever been to! I saw Led Zeppelin and Pink Floyd in the 70's in Cincinnati and they were good, but they performed in the Colosseum. Public Image Limited was @ A Nightclub made for Concerts and it was the Best Stage, Lighting and Johnny Lydon danced all over the stage while he was singing! No singer ever moved like he did! I really like the way they made this video too!
