Greetings from Arkansas USA
Assumed I'd rather guessed. Love him, his own experience is the Pistols to PIL a good example of what stealthin a good men personality and Anger Is An Energy astonishing and me both as he wrote on several levels how to get the msg crystal mate and fix the problem with the references and reality of honesty... No one in The 100 club 300 copies mine just as important with him as one of method anger in and surrounding thought on his heavily emotional damage he cries still over Sid... at least we have educational assistance into the my loveof vital signs and loathng of Herion this very good if not this small modest meeting Herion?? XXXXX
John is so much more approachable and enjoying life these days, really glad to see him finally enjoying his impact on music and able to finally appreciate good qualities in others.. He has very insightful perspectives that deserve a broad audience
He's really lucky to have survived meningitis, many kids don't. I can understand his hatred of liars, if you have a blank mind you need the truth to get better you're so vulnerable.
VERY well said, Michelle...& the mortality rate back then, in the '60s & in his impoverished circumstances, was EVEN WORSE than it is now. I'd not actually thought of his dependence upon the truth, even more than most kids, due to his severe illness & resultant memory loss.
I seriously think he should do stand up and improv like George carlin or bill burr. Even just tellin stories or something, hes great fresh unrehearsed reality tv gold, I'd watch that.
It’s interesting how people who are funny like this are almost always interested in what they consider ‘truth’. I think you have to care about truth if you want to be funny.
bearmassaro I would never put the words “blunt” and “intelligence” together. “Sharp” is the adjective for me. But, ah, thinking here, perhaps you mean “blunt” as in “honest, saying it like it is”? Well, no matter. Mr Lydon is brilliant!
@Twisted Fister i will be honest with you im not sure what i liked at that time lol probably to many drugs inbetween thats fried my brains out lol sex pistols never my thing but love the way john lydon s way of thinking
What age are you ? He’s a contrarian who is liable to anything just to get attention, as if he was still 21 . He flip flops on his views , he is everything that he was against when he was younger . He waffles about there being no rules yet punk was full of them . He’s not remotely fit to comment or critique music , he achieved fuck all in his time . Music - visionary he was a scrap as Yoko Ono was . He’s a pompous git
+sennikram. And hopefully he will be every bit as opinionated, forthright & wise as is Mr John Lydon, my friend! He could do FAR, FAR worse than being like him IMO.
I think many people do not realise how rich he is...he is always going on about how poor he is, how PIL can't afford to make a record, PIL are in debt to the record company and so on..it's just lies....he lives a very very comfortable life with Nora Forster..they don't have to worry about the rent
johnny is an amazingly strong bright and interesting soul the world is way more interesting with rather than without his witty charm and he's a legend rip Sidney
There's only a few artists who put an unconscious smile on my face - either through their wit, honesty or outlook (or all of the above). Lydon is one of them.
As a person who has suffered from childhood cancer I can definitely agree with what he said about finding out who you are. Everyone has always done everything for me. Now I'm becoming a man and nobody helps me now. But I'm glad I never had a normal childhood or I wouldn't have woken up.
I saw John Lydon at the Cheltenham Literature Festival last year and he was the most interesting and captivating speaker i think i've ever seen. Great interview here too :)
What artist nowadays will seat in front of an audience and show this defiance and bluntness? None. No American for that matter. But those who do, such as Liam Gallagher, only do so because of Lydon. He is the original thing.
I love how he keep bringing his meningitis story.... Well, he was from a modest family to say the least, right? He spent WHOPPING ONE YEAR in a hospital FREE of charge thanks to the British National Health Service system. Yeah, the socialist hell US can only dream of.
Read No dogs, No blacks, No Irish. An eternal complaining, hatred, loathing etc for Glen Matlock,who wrote Pretty vacant, the melodies for Anarchy and God save the Queen. While all the time praising Sid(who actually COULD play and had a really good voice).
Problem is with this audience is that they're all middle class people who are trying to be working class by laughing at a working class man's jokes. Annoys me.
+lewan Gillard Yeah, I get where you're coming from as well, mate...but at least the "middle class people" are being open-minded enough to have a listen to what this great man has to say & who knows what type of around effects that could have upon others in any number of ultimately, very important ways? We will never know & I'd prefer that he'd had these geezers turn up to his Q&A than no one!!
I don't know how you want to be addressed so I'll just call you John. My name is Justin. I grew up being a bit scared of the culture you created. Now I find out that you are a brave independent man who gives a shit. I'm astonished. I feel somewhat ashamed of that. I simply don't know what to do about this but my instincts are to rethink everything. Everything? No actually. I love my kids and my country without being a nationalist twat. You have really changed my mind for the better on many issues. Specially THE BBC!. Brilliant. If you don't reject a knighthood, I will be terribly disappointed.
After seeing him doing an interview on a chat show about John when he was asked about his meningitis, the effect that it had on his memory and it resonated with me. I had autoimmune encephalitis 8 or 9 years ago which affects the brain and the memory in a similar way so I could relate to what he said about trying to regain his memories. It’s not bloody easy and has profound effects on all ways of life, I’m going to have to find his book (it’s amongst my other books) and read it again.
I'm 58 and I clearly remember how the Pistols turned music on it's head for us. We were all into Led Zep, Floyd etc and then bang, we've all cut off our long hair and went full blown punk over night. It was great and their lyrics made it even better
2:21 My mate was a few years older than Mr Rotten but he always told me about how the nuns heir in nsw au would smack his left handed for being left handed n thats why he never really learnt how to right n now i no he was telling the truth 100% after heir this. #Evilness.
Uh uh John, You always conveniently forget Alice Cooper, Iggy Pop, and Brownsville Station . . . , when discussing the bi-sexual quality in rock history, and, how about giving a shout out to Little Richard?!
His words about Sid touched me, he never stood a chance. As a kid I had a terrible home life, none of my mates would come round instead I would go to them and be fed. My mate Nicks Mum and Dad probably saved me with the kindness just a shame Sid didn’t have a Robin and Rosemary to give him a feed and some love.
I saw the Sex Pistols four times in England ('76 - '77) and their final concert at Winterland in San Francisco ('78). They NEVER failed to be GREAT! Lydon, Jones, and Cook were totally amazing! No real rock and roll band was ever better. Four of the greatest nights of my life!!!!! I'll take those memories to my grave.
John Moeller Yes I was lucky. Was 13 in '56. Have seen the whole show from start to finish. Too bad it's finished. Maybe you can get a ticket to Taylor Swift!!! Just kidding. Sorry you missed out. Keep on Rockin' til the world ends.
I went to see them but didn't get in at the fforde green on rounday rd in Leeds we (me and my mates) were 14 at the time and it was in a pub and it was in the the west indian area of Leeds called chapletown. And the bouncers wouldn't let us in which was fair enough. So we stood outside and listened it was still fucking brilliant. There was loads of us outside and it was loud as fuck. AND we saw them come out and piss off so for me it was close enough.
@@christopherdale8201 Quality story, Chris! Rapt to read that your Uncle kicked that awful habit (I'm also an Aussie & have/had a sister who has been FUCKED on the gear for 25 years now - God only knows how she's still alive, if you call that living) & I am 100% convinced that it wasn't Sid - but either Nancy herself, thieves or organised crime - who killed Nancy. Cheers from the Mornington Peninsula on yet another 40 degree day, mate!
@redlightflash I too reject the possibility that someone can have more money than me and as result of the mentioned money, use it to travel, not going to sell me on that
I find anything with john intoxicating. He is funny, grounded, talented and so flawed. Top person. Married for decades to a German. You couldnt make it up. He needs to be knighted asap. He's a punk and a conservative - loves the Queen
I love Mr. Lyndon...could listen to him all day! So intelligent, hilariously funny,and brutally honest...without negating his essential kind and decent nature. 💙
He is right about the left hand thing. I was bastardised by certain teachers, because I was left handed. They tried everything to make me write with my other hand. Couldn't do it.
Look at the state of him, he definitely couldn't see what Clothes he was putting on WTF! And he's Just a Bully who still does put people down, Johnny is nothing but an Obnoxious and Hypocritical person he hasn't changed and his Voice sound's like a complete Creep I wouldn't trust him whatsoever!
My two favorite slebs on the same stage. Woohoo! Got me own nuns experiences. I left school & walked home - aged 5ish and on my third school, nevermind didn't do me any ... hardly any ... Well, not that much harm. Figured that religion/god an all is an alternative control mechanism by the age of 8. Hey ho! Keep on, keeping on you two. x
I remember them etc in 77 , Brought Never mind [ 14 ] still a great album ....But I agree with him on certain things but there is no pride in being poor and staying that way DREADS , ok 4 im in LA DOING OK , But if he had never made it with the pistols....???
As a lifelong fellow Gunner (Arsenal FC fan if you don't know) & devoted fan of John Lydon the man, I just want to HIGHLY recommend the following half-hour clip here on YT: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-_SkUPM_T7FE.html which is the final 35 minutes of The Sex Pistols Tour of London (also on YT in full version), during which he drives around London upon the top of a double-decker bus, sharing his opinions re: how ghastly the modern architecture of London has become (including Arsenal's Emirates Stadium, where they moved to in 2006 from beautiful old Highbury, a stadium that he grew up nearby, in Finsbury Park) & how much the city has lost its former spirit, which is both highly entertaining & sad (because he's 100% right).
what a great genuine bloke, when i was in jail there was not a great selection of books and i ended up with Malcolm Mclarens autobiography and enjoyed it alot, he said that when they went to America he had to keep locking them on the bus to keep them from fucking up, he said they stopped at a diner, a cowboy who was in there with his wife and child after his wife and child had left came over to the table. he went up to sid and sneered,"sid vicious" and put out his cigarette on his own hand, he said sid didnt even look up at him, picked up a knife and slashed his own hand open and just carried on eating
