Clearly you’re much younger than your years would have us believe. Massive respect. I’m 49 this year and this track still makes my hair stand on end 👌🏼
Hello again! Still alive and just watched/listened to this again ... must congratulate the camera work and editor ... to go for B&W was a masterstroke ... i'm sure you agree @barochoc
The best track John Lydon has ever penned and there has been plenty.But Leftfield were banging in the early 90’s I was a disco biscuit eater and this was the soundtrack too that summer.I seen Leftfield spinning the wheels many times.Erm what was I saying.
Leftfield and Lydon a match made in heaven. This is a slice of rolled gold simply magnificent, thunderous and energising. A truly remarkable collab with Lydon in great voice.
What a great comment. I used to rave with ppl like your dad. Im so glad you understand how special this time was for some. I lost my mom to that crap, but the dancing kept me up.
Absolutely on point with what you said there mate. I appreciate it much more than I did growing in the 90’s. A work of pure genius blending electronics, beats and rock music together.
Same here! I remember listening to leftfield,the orb, dj shadow, pink Floyd, many many other great music artists because of my dad.. and here I am 30 years old doing the same with my kids lol
These lyrics are more relevant in 2023 than ever before. LEFTFIELD are the G.O.A.T. Still dropping bombs almost 30 years later- like in a time loop where things dont age. First heard Leftield in a surfing video called Hawaii Nine Four. Bought Leftism immediately and it's still one of my go to albums. Start to finish, hidden track used to vibrate the building. To this day I get stoked watching the reaction of someone listening to them for the first time. Too many facets to mention, from the power to poetry. Mint. Thank you
I bought a CD copy in the charity shop this afternoon. The 'Full Vocal Mix' (8:42) is epic, The Dust Brothers long mix (13:42) is good too! I remembered the song but didn't buy it at the time (November 1993) as I was only 15 and didn't know nuffin about nuffin. Like you I've played it over and over again, lol
It’s 30 years since I’ve heard this song the first time. I have to tell you the old tv’s didn’t do it any justice. Just rediscovered it again and listened to it on proper audio system. Man….. give it a go, goose bumps are inevitable
New Year’s Eve at Megadog 1995 Brixton Academy, this came on as the clock struck Midnight, the place erupted! What an amazing memory. Love all the remixes just as much, we need more Leftfield Lydon collaborations.
Probably one of my favorite tracks from my early days. The 90's were a great time to be around with all of the new and innovative music that was coming out at the time. We need another musical revolution to come about, as current music seems to be a bit stale
Dear Leftfield. This should be the theme tune for the coming Hollywood apocalypse, the lyrics are almost prophetic & Johnny is exactly the correct man to be singing them.
The words to this track is excactly what's happening today 23/07/23..John Lydon was beyond his time and here to teach us about the establishment and the nonces ruining children's and their families lives..Love him.❤🙏
Jeremy Welton you have to start following some less mainstream music media or blogs, there's zillions of it. tbh I haven't listened to that much fresh music either in past 2-3 years but when I turn on some good more alternative radio on or listen to some "best of year lists" it always leads to good discoverires. Run the Jewels are one of the projects that's been pretty good. for more experimental stuff, the new Tagaq album is pretty fascinating. but there are tons of stuff I haven't heard myself.
Don't get me wrong Karel, I listen to tons of unique stuff and I'm always looking elsewhere, I DJ for an alternative club,so it's part of what I do. But I'm always looking for anything with a nostalgic feel, especially if it relates in any way to something like this, hence why I asked.
Sensational track!! The "Full Vocal Mix" remix of this track on the single is insane. 9 minutes of Leftfield / Lydon mayhem. I used to work in a club. After closing time (around 5am), we would crank-up the sound system and rock to this while doing the clean-up. Always got us through that hour when we couldn't be shagged and just wanted to get home. Madness.
HOOO LEE FOOOOK! How can i not have this in my music lib...... Ben trippi'n å LOT to theese sick beats, with Tribal science:concept in dance, both in same party ... i can actually feel it building...

Absolutely ❤
Who's here because they were reminded of this song watching the fires in LA?
Literally remembered this song from the fires
Exactly
Still awesome all these years later
Me. I used to listen to this in the 90s. Now, it's become reality
Me, myself and I. I was watcing the news and this old track popped in my head. Love it.
Suddenly needed to hear this again...
PROPHETIC 🔥
I'm here checking if they're going to censor or remove this.
Johnny got his wish.
That's wny i'm here too.
I think it was originally due to the Rodney King riots. Hollywood burns periodically, it seems
Check out Burn Hollywood Burn by Public Enemy, if it’s still there

Me too.
Just here cos it is burning down …. Who else ?
“Burn Hollywood Burn! Taking down Tinseltown!”, Leftfield and John Lydon, Open Up. Great song!
It’s literally happening right now. Stay safe Angelenos! 🔥
I thought 'fitting' 😊
It plays in my head when I watch footage of LA fires atm
John Lydon should be careful for what he wishes for. Sorry for the people in LA. Stay safe
That's what it is, yes. And what it says.
😐
never heard this before. Someone mentioned it to me today. Genius!
You need to put the Leftism Album on loop !!!
Johnny was like a prophet, he told us about Saville, the government, and even hollywood.
And duchass of su#ssex merch
He wasn't a prophet. He was an anti-Christ. He said so himself.
of course now he tells us in his own words that he never believed in anything he sang and it was all marketing.
Nothing but a grifter.
