Well, former Sisters man Wayne Hussey had that execrable band The Mission
(whatever happened to them? They were huge in the mid-80s) who formed an
association with John Paul Jones- (JPJ played with them, produced them,
even acted as a sort of rock-god guru to little Wayne I believe)- and from
there you can do the standard Led Zep-Roy Harper-anyone you want (including
HW) link. But I don't think there's a more direct link than that, unless
there's one through Generation X (a former Gen X-er was briefly in the
Sisters I think, don't know who or when, Gen X never interested me and I
had lost interest in the Sisters by then).

Well, you can connect the Damned to the Pistols through Lu Edmunds, who was
in Lydon's PiL immediately after his stint with the Damned.

Current Damned drummer Pinch was formerly in long-running punk outfit
English Dogs, and there may be other connections through them, but again,
that's moving away from stuff that interests me so I don't know.

Anyway this is a silly game and I don't want to play anymore... but I can't
help myself! Stop it both of you!
