 Montreal, QC // September 18th // #TurnBlue

Right before we walked onstage in Toronto

It's hard to believe That there's nobody out there It's hard to believe That I'm all alone At least I have her love The city she loves me Lonely as I am Together we cry I don't ever want to feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all the way I don't ever want to feel Like I did that day Take me to the place I love Take me all the way (yeah yeah) Ooh no (no no yeah yeah) Love me I say yeah yeah Under the bridge downtown Is were I drew some blood Under the bridge downtown I could not get enough Under the bridge downtown Forgot about my love Under the bridge downtown I gave my life away (yeah yeah) Ooh no (no no yeah yeah) Here I stay yeah yeah Here I stay

Under The Bridge- Red Hot Chili Peppers

This song came off of the Red Hot Chili Peppers album  Blood, Sugar, Sex, Magik , and this particular song is about Anthony's struggles with the drug Mario, and how he used to take it under a bridge in LA.  He felt really alone at the time, and, as it says in the song, he felt that the city was his only friend. He wrote this as he was walking along.

Artist Spotlight: Sex Pistols

They say that John Lyndon, nicknamed "Johnny Rotten" first came to the Sex Pistols wearing a homemade "I Hate Pink Floyd" t-shirt and had green hair, and after playing with them, he joined the band, and their career officially took off. With new clothing designed by band member Malcolm McLaren's clothing store the Sex, the band began attracting all sorts of followers, many of which who went to start their own bands.  After performing at Saint Martins College, where member John Matlock was attending school, and after that, the band began playing gigs alt other colleges and art schools. Their career was taking off.

The Sex Pistols were creating a national stir as their violence and general outrageousness creating a big stir.  One of their better known incidents was dubbed "The Grundy Incident", where the drunk Sex Pistols members went on air on  Thames Television's Today program, where their swore and bantered with the host, Bill Grundy.  The group was looked down upon by the British government and higher ups, especially the queen.  But this also marked a turning point in the band. In 1977, John Matlock left the band, and was replaced by John Beverly, nicknamed "Sid Vicious".  He had no experience with the guitar, but had a reputation in the punk scene. He brought the already anarchist, anti-christ band to a new level, with their release "God Save the Queen" in 1977. This release really pushed the Sex Pistols to fame and lead to their arrest by police during their mockery of the Queen's procession on a boat. They were dropped by their record label, A&M, and yet still continued to release songs on their own. The band went on tour soon after, and then the violent attacks against the band and punk fans began to be more widespread. Their final official album, Never Mind the Bollocks: Here Come the Sex Pistols, was released October 1977, and then they went on their final tour, the US Tour.  Rotten and the band began becoming disgsted with Vicious and his outrageous behavior. Vicious was addicted to heroin, and was being, essentially, brought to his heroin addict girlfriend, Nancy Spungen, who the band had tried to get rid of for fear of Vicious's health, but had stuck around. The band began becoming more and more distant, and after Malcolm and the band abandoned Rotten in California, who was sick, with no money or transportation, the band's break-up was announced January 18, 1978.  The band never reunited, and Sid Vicious died of a drug overdose.  

This band was very influential in the punk rock movement, and popularized the idea of independent, underground producing and music.  They paved the way for other bands, such as Black Flag, to go on the path of punk rock, and shock people beyond belief. The band also popularized punk rock lifestyle and clothing, and left a mark still evident today.
