"If I was a true anarchist I would recommend everyone buy Britney Spears albums. But I'm not. So keep buying the Clash!" Never a truer word has been said.
It was the Brixton riots that were the result of Margaret Thatchers poll tax. You have no idea. J Rotten is taking the piss out of Brittany and the Clash. Get it? There is nothing sweet or cool about it. Goth is just a trend so is emo. It's like wearing a costume in black looking like a join -in. No anthem, no message no idea. D
Good thing about Johnny is that he is frank and brutally honest about his views and opinions. This guy appears to be more trustworthy than most people I know.
I would argue that nobody is needed more in the world right now than John Lydon. He is the antidote to the poison. And I value his insight to a degree that I cannot even quantify. I admire him DEEPLY.
The longer this film went on, the more he drank, which led to more insults, which in turn caused me to collapse in hysterics. Right now there are tears streaming down my face....'maybe it's because I'm a Londoner'. I salute you Mr. Lydon.
TheGooners11 correct sir, Britain has gone to shit, English kids get suspended from school for having a crew cut hairstyle yet Asian kids can attend the same school in full headdresses faces covered and dots on their foreheads???? Fuckin crazy
Those guys at the pub missed a once in a lifetime opportunity. I would love to accidentally bump into Lydon down at a local. I'd be siding up beside him with a couple pints, and I'm sure I'd be in for an amazing half hour of fantastic conversation. The world needs more people like Johnny, especially now. Salt of the earth.
I used to live in Venice Beach, California. There is a taco shop near the end of Washington Blvd that I frequented (still do when I visit LA). Once, Johnny came in - and I instantly recognized him. I was hoping he would sit at the counter and eat, but he ordered take away and soon left (he lived in area).
Apparently you don't understand him. Why would you write what everyone watching this heard? Wait...Johnny Rotten would see exactly why you did it. You feel you've gained some cheap notoriety writing word for word what he just stated. Or...Maybe your writing a book of quotes or your just making sure we remember....No, you've seen others do that and you copied them. Wankers like you always will... AND.... ONLY Wankers would think that was clever. It's not. Are you gonna go buy a new spiked leather jacket next. In my generation you would be called a poser.
He was a yuppie himself I saw him at the Randolph Hotel in Oxford with is the poshest Hotel in the city and were royalty usually go when they visit he's such a hypocrite
Every time Johnny Rotten opens his mouth I listen. He is brilliant and his common sense take on things is bang on. If he was PM of England he'd genuinely do an outstanding job. God bless you John Lydon, you are a treasure!
Johnny Rotten Lydon has aged like fine wine, and will forever be youthful in spirit with a twinkle in his eye, even when he's 100 + yrs. old. Thanks for the tour, John! Yer so much fun! Yer pride in British civilization is evident, as is yer disappointment with the current state of affairs in London. You have earned a proper place in British history by now. Loved how you ended your tour on the rooftop at sunset with memories of Gunther Grove when you were young during your rooftop party days. Good times! Then the gentrification of London sent you over the edge...goodbye, cruel world! Then - surprise! - you popped back to life, like a cheerful, impish sprite - ha, ha, ha! You're truly loveable and adorable! : ) Cheers to you, John!
@@dwayneharden5333 the same thing is happening in Liverpool, the waterfront is virtually unrecognisable to what it used to be 30-40 years ago. There’s awful buildings there now that just don’t look right there.
I love how his views continue to piss off a lot of people! He hasn't changed and it's amazing and hilarious to watch people misunderstand him to this day.

hes so right about the archetecture in london. its so sad that they keep knocking down nice buildings and building shit ones. its losing all its character
Clariccy Jones yes. I grew up in london in the 80's and I actually miss all the old warehouses and factories, even the ones that were run down. now I feel like Im not wanted anymore. most new places are all fenced off and sterile
He's right, it's happening everywhere. Buildings with history, things that would stand a thousand years if you let them - replaced by some shitawful pile of glass and aluminium that looks like a cat's vomited it up. They'll stand 20, maybe 30 years and then be replaced by some other soulless kak. Even when I come across modern architecture I don't mind, it has a place - and that place isn't the centre of London, or any other city.
battersea powerstation is currently being turned into posh fats, no doubt covered in glass. the old cranes he goes past in the video have already been knocked down. those cranes were so awesome

@@anthonyfrancis2374 , why the stupid comment? I thought it was a good description of JL's character. If you're not a fan then maybe FO and make your vacuous trolling comments elsewhere.
I was in a London pub in the eighties and went to put a song on the jukebox. From the guy in a red beret, sitting beside the jukebox, came an unmistakable voice. " Who ya putting on? When I told him it was Lloyd Cole and the Commotions he simply replied " C***." Knowing him to be a secret Krautrock fan, I said " Well, they haven't got any Can." He smiled and asked me where I came from and who I supported. When I told him Battersea and the Arsenal he was immediately friendly. I left England 26 years ago and feel just the same way about modern London.
Just ran across this, and John has his opinion that's a little cynical as he has a hard time dealing with change in a global economy. Still nice to hear an honest stand. As an architect, you should watch Howard Roark's defense speech from the Fountainhead for a touchstone to hold onto. It'll fortify your integrity. Cheers
@@drumgold23 He is a patronizing, bitter cvnt but he's not a tax exile. He is an American citizen, which doesn't help him with tax, but it does make him more of a cvnt though. He's been campaigning for Trump wearing his slogan 'Make America Great again! ''He put's yer money in yer pocket, that's wot we need! What a cvnt!
@Slarti Bartfast Your presumptions about me gave me a good laugh. You honestly couldn't be any further from the truth about me. I think you may well be right about Trump winning though. It's not like there are many options.

I agree with everything you say Mr. Lydon - "BLOW IT UP!" The bastards have done the same de-humanizing here in NYC. I was born and raised here and I don't even recognize this city / my neighbourhood anymore.
Same thing is happening in Chicago where I live, they're building a bunch of new disgusting soulless glass buildings everywhere, they're making every city look the same and it's really sad
Edward Bliss Yessss and Johnny Rotthen aka John Lydon is sooo right:All this modern shit in London makes me angry too,because I was in London in the middle of the 80s & in the beginning of the 90s very often.The old London with Tower Bridge,Big Ben and much,much more of London was fantastic!!!!!Johnny say it right and a big good smile for that,Johnny: at 17:39 What they done to these town?It´s kill the culture,we know that is an alien object (that what I understand) when they showed the ugly new buildings and he said:Another 100 Years?No chance of it..!!! I hope it and when he said:Blow it up(sorry for my english) ,I totally agree with him. We need loads of another Sex Pistol moments;-))
+signoguns....You mean wit The Libertines Pete Doherty(sorry when I write him wrong) but Pete looked a bit like Sid when Pete was young and looked good....okay Sid was a heavy heroin addict but so beautiful for me....Pete is not to pretty at all but he still lives and I think he is clean now.
He is the reason I packed up my Rickenbacker bass and flew to London from New York, as a 20 year old, in 1980 to spend a summer jamming with like-minded folks.
Since I got engaged when I went to London I love the tour aspect. Very interesting with Johnny Rotten serving as a tour guide. Thanks for posting. You rock!
I agree with +jamz0007 and + Bookworm 4, because Johnny is really a intelligent,amazing & a funny guy and I come from Germany but I was in the middle of the 80s and in the early 90s very ofen in England LONDON & GREAT YARMOUTH...He is right with that what he saying. So I love the old ENGLAND and not the new buildings!!! BLOW IT UP ;-D
Johnny Rotten, every time I see this guy or feel his attitude through a video or a song... It reminds me of my best friend I grow up with. I miss my friend very much, he is dead and I remember him like he was here yesterday. Thank you Johnny for just being you, it keeps my memorys of Jason fresh in my hart every time I see you.Johnny, thanks.
This is the funniest f****** thing I've ever seen in my life. I've always loved John Lydon AKA Johnny Rotten and now I love him even more. I agree with everything he says. It is way too late at night to be laughing as hard as I'm laughing right now and I'm not going to be able to sleep. Brilliance Brilliance brilliance!
I should say, I am 70 years old now, and I have seen it all change, not much of it was ever for the greater good........... just the rich and they get richer at our expense......... no change there then............
I'm a tourist, and I've just visited London and I completely agree with him, it was a bit sad to see the city London is turning into. All those "modern" buildings have nothing to do with London whatsoever
The dodgy pub in a dodgy area he is drinking in used to be my local as i grew up opposite, Sadly like many great pubs it is now flats, RIP THE BELL PUBLIC HOUSE.
Haha! "Champagne socialism". Beautiful. "All like clipped budgies in their cages". True. He's still soooo refreshingly non pc and observant. He verbally paints in expressionism.
I love this...it's a direct connection to the concerts the Pistols gave on Christmas Day, 1977. He's really about having the opportunity to carve out your space, and appreciate the spaces others have carved out. I wish I had been quick enough to get that the first time...
I would gladly pay well to go on a tour of London open top bus with Johnny as the narrator like this. 😂
"If I was a true anarchist I would recommend everyone buy Britney Spears albums. But I'm not. So keep buying the Clash!" Never a truer word has been said.
I like some of their music bt hate the Clash...they took all the humour and fun out of the Punk scene.

+signoguns....You mean wit The Libertines Pete Doherty(sorry when I write him wrong) but Pete looked a bit like Sid when Pete was young and looked good....okay Sid was a heavy heroin addict but so beautiful for me....Pete is not to pretty at all but he still lives and I think he is clean now.
I could listen to him talk all day. I wish he did audiobooks and even translates them into Lydonspeak
I used to imagine Kasabian doing the same with Leicester.
Dude is a legend for a reason
This is 100% GOLD!!! I'm dying laughing. Love this guy.
this is pure gold content. all of it. fucking hilarious
I wish he had his own channel. He's fucking wise and hilarious!
Great edit ,great veiwing im so happy thankyou for this:)!
I mean come on, how can you dislike John Lydon? I think he's great 😂🍻👍
I didnt like him while I was growing up , now I am in my 50's , completely see him in a different light & can see his points & values
loved it,,thanks for the tour!
This is the best thing on CZcams !
‘There are more Polish people in London than in Poland!’ ;-) Greetings from Poland! I used to listen to Sex Pistols when I was a teenager. Good times.
@TUbIuyola in the 90’s. There was a revival of punk rock in the mid 90’s.
He is the reason I packed up my Rickenbacker bass and flew to London from New York, as a 20 year old, in 1980 to spend a summer jamming with like-minded folks.
Johnny, that was quite an insightful tour of London...and as always, we appreciate your honesty.
Since I got engaged when I went to London I love the tour aspect. Very interesting with Johnny Rotten serving as a tour guide.
Thanks for posting. You rock!
May the road rise with you Mr. Lydon.
thanks god we still have Johnny rotten
The true King of England .
ja. Yes.
A very intelligent guy
Of course he is, he's Irish.
no, you're just an idiot
I agree with +jamz0007 and + Bookworm 4,
because Johnny is really a intelligent,amazing & a funny guy and I come from Germany but I was in the middle of the 80s and in the early 90s very ofen in England LONDON & GREAT YARMOUTH...He is right with that what he saying.
So I love the old ENGLAND and not the new buildings!!!
BLOW IT UP ;-D
yes !!! JA !!!
@@gabrielavandertouw8682 Ou,I just saw it now....you are great
Thanks for posting this online nice one.
Johnny Rotten, every time I see this guy or feel his attitude through a video or a song... It reminds me of my best friend I grow up with. I miss my friend very much, he is dead and I remember him like he was here yesterday. Thank you Johnny for just being you, it keeps my memorys of Jason fresh in my hart every time I see you.Johnny, thanks.
Inadvertent comedy genius. Thanks for the upload.
I fuckin love this!! Johnny is spot on. Imagine if he did this now, and how much it’s changed even worse in 8 yrs
Kiitos!!! This tour!
Best tour guide ever.
13:03 "this building's pregnant "😂😂
Genius assessment by Rotten, hahaha!
That would be cool to be insulted by Johnny Rotten as you walked around town!
Johnny getting progressively more and more drunk as the video progresses lol 😂
This is the funniest f****** thing I've ever seen in my life. I've always loved John Lydon AKA Johnny Rotten and now I love him even more. I agree with everything he says. It is way too late at night to be laughing as hard as I'm laughing right now and I'm not going to be able to sleep. Brilliance Brilliance brilliance!
Absolutely love you, John although it's taken me thirty years to appreciate you.
Loved Johnny for 40 years. Seen PiL in concert a few times and Pistols reunion in '96. This was such a great video.
I should say, I am 70 years old now, and I have seen it all change, not much of it was ever for the greater good........... just the rich and they get richer at our expense......... no change there then............
I'm a tourist, and I've just visited London and I completely agree with him, it was a bit sad to see the city London is turning into.
All those "modern" buildings have nothing to do with London whatsoever
When you walk around the City on a hot day it feels even hotter because of the sun reflected off the glass buildings.
That was BRILLIANT he really is a decent bloke
Haha Johnnys so witty I'd love to be drunk on that bus I'd be in hysterics
The dodgy pub in a dodgy area he is drinking in used to be my local as i grew up opposite, Sadly like many great pubs it is now flats, RIP THE BELL PUBLIC HOUSE.
Is that on the Edgware road Kilburn?
@@warrenedward1462 The Bell is still there in Kilburn so it's not that pub.
Looks like the Bell in Southwark. Webber st.
@@Quincycle yeah webber st SE1
That's a shame towns loosing it's character
Haha! "Champagne socialism". Beautiful. "All like clipped budgies in their cages". True. He's still soooo refreshingly non pc and observant. He verbally paints in expressionism.
I love this...it's a direct connection to the concerts the Pistols gave on Christmas Day, 1977. He's really about having the opportunity to carve out your space, and appreciate the spaces others have carved out. I wish I had been quick enough to get that the first time...
What a Find! His analysis is perfection. Love you Johnny xxx
Great video Mr Lydon! You have become a national treasure! All the best to you and to your dear wife, Nora. xxxxx
When JR is on form there`s really nobody more compelling and fascinating.
