The Light Pours Out Of Me: The Authorized Biography of John McGeoch, by Rory Sullivan-Burke

From Magazine to Visage to Siouxsie & the Banshees to Public Image Limited, John McGeoch’s guitar sound defined the post-punk era and beyond. Author Rory Sullivan-Burke has written a compelling biography of this brilliant musician, which includes insights from family, bandmates, and noted musicians influenced by his work.

Today's show features an expansive discussion of John McGeoch's life and career with the author, interspersed with a sampling of music from across John's career including the bands mentioned above and more.

You can purchase the book at Bookshop.org or your local bookseller, or ask your local library to order a copy!

Between the increasingly ridiculous (at the time) excess of nascent arena rock (early 70s) and things like The Captain and Tenille or The Osmond Brothers dominating many commercial radio markets, punk's exasperated refusal of all that immediately preceded it makes sense to me; maybe you had to be there?

I had the good fortune to catch Magazine as part of the Urgh, A Music War tour( promoting the movie) at LA's Santa Monica Civic Auditorium. Their sound was overwhelming and blew all the other bands that night right off the stage. Some of the bands I saw in that two-night presentation were X, Devo, Pere Ubu, Stiv Bators and the Dead Boys.

Review of PiL in Billboard, July 22, 1989, a show in Richfield, OH, opening for New Order (Sugarcubes having opened for PiL): Both magnetic and repulsive, PiL head John Lydon snared the crowd with more than an hour of snarling, melodic dance-rock highlighted by "Rise," "Happy," and a taunting version of "The Body." Sparked by guitarist John McGeogh, PiL delivered the strongest, least reverent act.

Hi, Evan! Joined in about mid-show but enjoying what I'm hearing so far! It's about time some of the lesser known transient musicians of the 80's got their time in the literary spotlight. Fascinated to know more about John McGeoh. Quite an accomplished musician for someone who's spent the briefest moments in some of the most prolific acts of our time (and by that, of course, I mean those of us who spent our formative years during the 80's). Got the entire PiL discography on mp3s and some of it on CD's.

And as much as I hate to break this to everyone, Johnny just hasn't been the same bloke we've come to know since, and with good reason, as you'll hear from the man himself:

Avatar Swag For Life Member 2:36pm

worth reiterating (or I guess pre-iterating, since you haven't heard Rory mention it yet) that McGeoch was really the driving musical force in the band, especially at this point. Lydon was writing lyrics and singing, but not really contributing to the music side of the songwriting process.

Great interview.

I still can't stand that era of PiL. The guitars sound great. It's the drums I hate. Lydon is always lydon.

Great listen. Shame about the Nick part lost. Good for Peter Murphy for going to the source. Saw a few PiL shows. Met John in ‘92. Thank You Universe. The side work with Sweet was unexpected and honestly caught me off guard. Fitting.
