"Your awfully young, it must be tough not knowing what your talking about and who you are talking to" EPIC..pure Johnny Rotten, just as he always was and always will be!
I think John is one of those extremely rare cases of person who as an old man could look at the young version of himself and totally respect him and viceversa. That truly must be wonderful.
Muddy Witch: if you consider a has-been whose shtick is the same as it was in the 70's as being a rude, obnoxious a-hole, then you should reconsider your "treasures". the sex pistols were a musical travesty.
@@simonsherwen5582 Anarchists like John only want to be king of themselves. It's that attitude that makes you want to crown him, but he really won't want the job. A wise man, is Lydon.
cierra cable ...Oh my but you forget far too easily child..being you are the proud recipient of my fond words to you...how can we assume all this "spewing" and "proving points" is accurately being assumed as the work of a mad man (me, of course) when one reads said comments from you & I?

Jonathan Huszar ..You want rude? Flip back to some of my "adversaries" offerings. Oh, I suppose there is some wisdom to the term .."if you can't say something intelligent or constructive ..don't say it at all." Hmmm...somehow I'm not feeling much adherence to that consideration around here..nowhere.
mainstreet prophet1 then why associate yourself amongst those you disdain so greatly? Why lower yourself to a discussion so petty as criticizing an old washed out Brit-punk like Lydon, if you perceive yourself as so much greater than your "adversaries" as you say.
What would you rather have... the Johnny Rotten trypes or the prick type celebs that demand all the brown M&M's be removed from their back stage munchines.... get a life people ... he is a real person, you will without a doubt know where you stand with this guy... every day of the week.... good on him i say.
But...if he tried to speak that way to another Man on the street, he would carry his teeth home in a paper sack. Trying to remain current and vital by acting the prick is sad and 35 years gone.
Fun fact: Van Halen asked to remove the brown M&M's in their stageplan so they knew the event manager had actually rad the whole thing. It was for their safety.
@Graham Stewart Bang on response. ‘Who do you think you’re taking to?’ - pub goes quiet in anticipation of a scrap. Zero vanity to his use of this remark. All about respect; as he stated himself shortly afterwards. The man speaks in poetry. If you understand his meaning- you’re in on the joke. Which is usually everybody else in the room.
@@fredkinsington2651 Who does? People who live on council estates? You're either dumb AF or young and don't know how society works. You sound like somebody who has never lived in a working class area. The word 'working' class tells you that they don't get paid to do nothing. Your thinking of people on benefits, which most ppl who work still get in the form of tax credits, but you'd know that as a working man. What's your fkng point anyway??
I ignore him completly...just cross this shit by accident: it was on the right corner YT video lists when i was watching a real Mister interview: Lemmy Kilminster!...this idiot just pop-up and i've got insonia tonight, so i open this crap
he clearly qualifies as arrogant in this clip,.sorry. look at the way he talks to the female interviewer at 1.40. it is soooo 'i am so superior to you'. sooo narcissistic.
@Chris Roy but to be fair, arguably she has a point. she mentions his previously announced disdain for award ceremonies, while he has turned up to one to receive an award. shes just presenting to him the idea that he might be contradicting himself by being there, and possibly being a hypocrite. regardless , he is just such an absolute arrogant, 'im so superior to you' tosser so many times when its just not justified.
@Gusto Punk From Lydon's past interviews, spanning five decades, I would say he doesn't care what other people think. I'm sure there are a few people in his life (family and friends) whose opinions he does care about. To be an artists one absolutely cannot get hung up on other people's opinions of one's work or one's POV. Do you care what people think of you?
That award question triggered Johnny. He was never nominated for an award in his life, so always claimed he didn't care about award ceremonies. But the first award he was up for, he suddenly wanted to attend. How ironic 😄 🤣 😂 😆 He was mad because he was called out on his hypocrisy.
His expressions with his face and especially his eyes always have fascinated me. He's like that one close cousin everybody else is afraid of but you're not, and you want to take certain traits he intrigues you with, and make it a part of you.
never conformed , never a sheep , brutal with his honesty, comfortable in his skin and doesn't have to explain himself to no one, todays generation of up and coming singers and bands need to break free from the bullshit and be orginal, this man is a intelligent interesting human being , PUNK WILL NEVER DIE
Wonderful Mr L, very inspired and telling in the responses. Media trite managed by the master. Take care sir! My respect gauge has busted after that one. Much love Mr Lydon.
@@sambriddon170 Or have you thought of this. Because it’s funny.... I’d go down their on sulphate and act a character the same if i was him. It’s a laugh

hey you can be punk and make business to pay your bills, but aside of that he s got that nasty british charm , he s like the mad hatter in alice in wonderland, should advertise for tea as well. to me he is the punk incarnated, in his speech and his way to behave, always franck and straight to the point , he don t fall in a sort of nice punk fashion ( adams and the ants just to quoteone)
"Your awfully young, it must be tough not knowing what your talking about and who you are talking to" EPIC..pure Johnny Rotten, just as he always was and always will be!
😂😂
Except when he was young he hated older people..typical Johnny ever the contrarian
I think John is one of those extremely rare cases of person who as an old man could look at the young version of himself and totally respect him and viceversa. That truly must be wonderful.
Coherence.
You know he's livid when he speaks softly
Absolutely, I've always noticed that myself.
Some people hate Johny because he speaks his mind. This scares brainwashed people
Clark Graham: he doesn't speak his mind, he just says things he knows will be rude and piss people off. talentless douche.
❤ him
He seems to practice eating interviewers. They should beware of him.
It does indeed, i'm in competition with John for being most disliked haha
# midnight watsit, pissed you off dead easy didn't he just, you brainless leftie.
Johnny Rotten has a brain and he likes to use it. As us in Britain say, he's a national treasure!
But an arsewipe with style!
Muddy Witch: if that's the case, that country is severely short on national treasures.

I still love him, he truely doesnt care and its great
