Ex-Public Image Ltd. bass player (1978-80) who left the band on shaky terms when using the Metal Box (2nd Edition) backing tapes for his first solo release entitled “Betrayal” (1980). Afterwards, Wobble made a number of independent releases, first with the Human Condition (featuring ex-PiL drummer Walker) and soon collaborated with Jaki Liebezeit and Holger Czukay from Can and the Edge from U2. At the same time he released his own solo work. Further releases were supported by island records. Most recently Wobble realized his own label 30 Hertz and has toured the US. At the same time he mustered a shortlived PiL copy band called the The Damage Manual with ex-Killing Joke members and Martin Atkins (ex-PiL drummer). 30 Hertz and Martin Atkins’ now-defunct Invisible Records realized PiL’s original intent.

I've seen him live a few times 1994, 2000 and 2006. Each very different. Sometimes frustrating cos he does whatever he's into at the time.

I caught him live in 1999/2000 ish. It was his first US tour in years and definately worth seeing.

what PiL stuff did he take and release? he made a solo album that used 2 songs from metal box as backing tracks when he was with PiL thats why some thing that john lydon fired him. I think your getting confused with keith levene who released the album comercial zone by himself months before this is what you want.....this is what you get was released
