In the first verse of Rough Justice the word 'cocks' was not heard, was this:

a) broadcasters censorship (if so shame on you)

b) technical failure (see sub-section 'input-device malfunction'...ahem! of course I mean microphone not working!)

c) Mick failed to sing it ('chickened out' I guess)


Whatever this is clearly the first instance of 'bird flew' in North America.

It's the ever conservative and stupid americans! Prude nation!

Please search first for any topics that are already posted on this subject, there are all ready to many topics I can't catch up this way.

Thanks,

Nico

Mick did not CHICKEN OUT by not singing " COME" and " COCK" it was forbiden by the NFL and the broadcasting company that produced the show. It pissed me off too but it was part of the pre-arranged deal. I know,' he should have rolled his eyes like he did when on the Ed Sullivan show in 1965, singing " time" intead of " night".

Maybe if we'd seen a close-up of Mick at that point, he DID make a face! Let's hope he did!

He DID sing it. Believe me. It was probably tuned down in the US.

Here in Europe, at least in Holland and Germany for as far as I know, we just got 'cum' the way it should and also 'cocks'. Only 'cum' sounded like cumrrr but that would have been some technical difficulty. NO sound breaks for our versions, certainly not on the cocks.

(Much to my surprise actually. If I had known before we'd get an unsensored version, I'd have recorded it).

er, if that isn't chickening out what is ?

compromising your art to please some @#$%& tv executives ?

when a band that is called 'the greatest rock n roll band in the world' and then bows down to censorship just to get a few minutes of tv time you hear the death bell tolling

what a joke

Loud and clear in the UK.
He did sing it.

The US Tv companies must have edited it out.

Thats what the 5sec delay was for.
