He's one crazy, egotistical, outspoken fucker with some talent for loud, screechy, accented vocals and that's Johnny Rotten's career, act and charisma!
I love how hes not trying to be modest like other people in interviews acting like hes a saint. Hes being himself which is also why his music is so great.
idiotic questions posed by idiots receive likes by idiots. Just as simple as that. oh..almost forgot: Who's reading this in 2019? Please, I need to know.
HAHA! This is brilliant! I must say, that the interviewer is doing a nice job keeping her cool. This interview seems extremely fast pased without the decadent "MTV editing" of interviews of today. Johnny Rotten is fucking cool.
When he came backstage to see the Ramones in London i believe Joey and the guys pissed in a beer they gave to Johnny. I love Johnny though. He calls it the way he sees it.
I think that what bothers Johnny the most is that Sid vicious will always be held in higher regard than him,and that bit of truth will always eat at rotten because people will always say that the Pistols will never be the same without Vicious
Um.........I didn't rate Sismd at all and I have no respect for him. John, well............I value John highly because he evolves and never sold out to anyone.
"i can't be bothered to tell a lie" thats why hes fucking epic and will always be known as punk he dosn't care what you think about him it dosn't slow him down none
@TTFPouyii who do you think you are? You useless, worthless, slob. Nobody needs you. I am not sure why you’re even on the internet. Go do something constructive with your life.
I can't believe that John Lydon has lived in LA for over 30 years and is a property developer. Not to mention being in commercials for butter and being on a TV reality show. It's like he has become everything he once despised. I think that's what getting old does to you. Out goes Anarchy and in comes living a millionaire lifestyle in LA. I think The Clash were an important punk band. They never sold out. Joe Strummer was never a millionaire and always was fighting for a cause. The year before he died they turned down 5 million for a reunion. That's what I call integrity. Joe was a great person and true to himself.
I think you're right. I notice the change in him in his latest autobiography. I was really sad myself when his stepdaughter Ari Up of The Slits died a few years back.. I thought she was a lovely person.
Yes but the clash were posers. Great band, but they were little posh boys, they didn't come from mean living conditions and poverty like the sex pistols did.
Mick was brought up by his Gran in a council tower block overlooking the Weastway. The only one that you could say grew up in a different world was Joe. He went to Public school, his father was a minor diplomat. It's only Joe. He changed. He left home at the earliest opportunity. His life has been scrutinised in detail in numerous biographies. We know what he was like. We can't help the circumstances of our birth. It's what you do with your life that's important and shows who you really are. It's about what you become. The Clash had integrity. They lost money on records they put out due to doing things like double albums for the price of one and even triple albums. They never made money as a band. They even used tour money to pay for soul legend Jackie Wilsons hospital bill. Just because someone went to a public school means nothing. Ask yourself would Joe Strummer be on TV commercial or a reality show. Would Mick,Topper or Paul, You must be joking. I love John, who couldn't but I admit I don't like people I admire going all corporate.. I think the other thing is that The Clash wrote about things that were important to them. They had a real message they wanted to share. The Sex Pistols didn't really have a message in the same sense. Great band, great look and a 'don'y give a fuck attitude. They never said they weren't interested in money did they They gave the establishment a good kick up the arse which was much needed. To be honest I think I was wrong to write that about them.. In the same situation I would probably do the same as John and Iggy . I know John does things for charity and is a nice guy.
John comes off as arrogant because he speaks his mind and is completely honest, unlike every other rock star or celebrity out there. He refuses to brown-nose or butter up any band or person, and is unafraid to be hated for his views. On Deep Purple: I thought we buried that lot years ago. Brilliant!
his mood started to change after 1988 in interviews, he seemed more approachable, right after he and his wife missed that infamous Lockerbie flight. Maybe it's just a coincidence.
....he used us...his legend is cemented....result!....in this world there are winners and losers....we love you Johnny....and thanks for improving our vinyl record collections immeasurably......
"This is why Im not tolerated, I cant be bothered to tell a lie, the truth is far harder but much more valid and much more worthwhile." What an amazing Comment !
"I find honesty is the most offensive thing in the world" Perhaps his best line ever.
It's true
@@Twinklez63 That's offensive.
5:25
His beer matched his hair.
He's one crazy, egotistical, outspoken fucker with some talent for loud, screechy, accented vocals and that's Johnny Rotten's career, act and charisma!
I love how she just takes these answers 😂
LOOOOL "awful and it rains, might as well be england" cracked me up!
He is hysterical 😭 best interview ever
"It's just like anywhere else, init, awful and it rains, might as well be England".... I LOVE THIS GUY!!!
You know what I like? The interviewer sort of understood the way he was and started caring about as much as he did as it progressed...
I love his laugh at 3:40
My gosh he's amazing
I love how hes not trying to be modest like other people in interviews acting like hes a saint. Hes being himself which is also why his music is so great.
He is a sample of awesomeness
Telling John Lydon that he is a rock star is not a good idea. Lol
Thats what i thought 🤣
Yeah, it isn't
His eyes are fucking magical
He has fantastic eyes and I like blue and brown eyes and Johnny has awesome blue eyes,yeah very magical!
Yeah, Iove them
He's so fucking epic...I wish he was my best friend Dx
he does know how to pour a beer
backdoor68, I don't think he gives a fuck
He may as well, ..he sure knows nothing about music.
Great pour that
@@daleyoung87 He’s a genius writer and singer
He poured the beer okay, but had difficulty using the bottle opener. 🤣
he has charisma like nobody else.
What a clown, a showman, a rebel, a genius... he's the best!
I was the FIRST! Check out The British newspaper The Daily Star in late July 2010!
Blondie is moi(Top left article!).
"There has been something as revolutionary as the Sex Pistols, the ongoing force of me!"
Spoken like a true narcissistic a****** I like him any goddam way whatever
He’s utterly adorable.
5:10 "I find honesty is the most offensive thing in the world and you'll just been attack with it." Love this quote by him.
At his best. He never fails to make something memorable out of a boring interview
This is hands down the best interview ever
Loved his comment about Deep Purple!
I know Rotten doesn't believe in heroes but he has been my hero since I was a 14 year old from Acton in 1976.
The true working class hero.
"Wasn't a movement. There was just the Sex Pistols, everyone else didn't count"
Great quote!
It is a great quote, however The Ramones invented punk.
@@NMMorna nah
@@NMMorna nah
@@NMMorna 😂😂😂
no not really
"Your looking at me.... now that's naughty!" hahahahahha
fucking love english accents
"just like anyone else innit"
he is wonderful
John is fantastic!
How such a nutcase can make me feel so relaxed lol
He's particular pleasant in this one. lol. Love him.
Who watches this in 2019?
I'm watching this in 2021
idiotic questions posed by idiots receive likes by idiots. Just as simple as that. oh..almost forgot: Who's reading this in 2019? Please, I need to know.
thea on course of ME!

HAHA! This is brilliant! I must say, that the interviewer is doing a nice job keeping her cool. This interview seems extremely fast pased without the decadent "MTV editing" of interviews of today. Johnny Rotten is fucking cool.

victoria angel you're beautiful 😻
James Elsbree get a life you fat piece of shit
Good to know people can still like you when you can't be humble.
"Handsome, young, virile." Haha! Love him!
if i ever go to a fancy restaurant i would take johnny rotten with me XD
this man is amazing
The ongoing force of ME!
If all celebrities gave as interesting and fun answers as Rotten, I'd watch interviews all the time.
lol i love how smoothly he catches the pack of cigs then softly growls when he dosnt catch the lighter my dream man
by far one of the best interviews i've ever seen.
When he came backstage to see the Ramones in London i believe Joey and the guys pissed in a beer they gave to Johnny. I love Johnny though. He calls it the way he sees it.
absolute legend
The ongoing force of ME!!!! 😂 love that bit 👌
When you depart this world I’ll be devastated
I wish we had more people like him
he's an ego maniac! rude! a true hero :)
This is me
don’t ego maniacs tend to have trouble being their authentic true Self, though?
the flowers....
omfg his fart noise😂😂 I'm dead
The interviewer is very patient. God bless her
3:41 He look's like my lesbian neighbor Debbie.
oh yeah! so he does
SkinCarver lmfao
I was thinking he reminded me of my ex mom in law Debbie 😳
Except nobody knows your lesbian neighbour. Or you.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💙👍
"(deep purple) i thought we buried that lot years ago", hilarious. seems rotten can always turn a stagnant interview into some kind of entertainment.
Cmon... how can you not love this man? He's just so casual and incredibly witty at the same time.
Trolling like a boss.
the ongoing force of ME.
omg hes a comic villain!!! :D
He's amazing lmao
Dear god i love him....
I think that what bothers Johnny the most is that Sid vicious will always be held in higher regard than him,and that bit of truth will always eat at rotten because people will always say that the Pistols will never be the same without Vicious
Um.........I didn't rate Sismd at all and I have no respect for him.
John, well............I value John highly because he evolves and never sold out to anyone.
Disagree Rotten will be remembered more for many more reasons
"i can't be bothered to tell a lie" thats why hes fucking epic and will always be known as punk he dosn't care what you think about him it dosn't slow him down none
He is such an inspiration
@TTFPouyii who do you think you are? You useless, worthless, slob. Nobody needs you. I am not sure why you’re even on the internet. Go do something constructive with your life.
Met him tonight, top bloke.

Rabble rabble rabble...

this man is just ... amazing !
is like a cartoon but like no other, absolubly awsome!
This is the attitude we all must have in life
honesty. I was laughing my ass off throughout this whole thing. xD
the camera man decides to film other shit towardst he end
Thank you thank you
he is great!awsomeee!love you
He could be the riddler or the joker
Jason Pellegren he could be a combination of both... The intelligence of Edward Nygma and e anti establishment of the joker
4hand561 - the joker is a nihilistic genius
his mood started to change after 1988 in interviews, he seemed more approachable, right after he and his wife missed that infamous Lockerbie flight. Maybe it's just a coincidence.
That's so true
He is awesome!
Hes not full of ego or arrogance, hes sending up the whole process of trivial interviews. Far more interesting than the alternative
I love him. ANARCHY!
What a guy
Gotta love him
....he used us...his legend is cemented....result!....in this world there are winners and losers....we love you Johnny....and thanks for improving our vinyl record collections immeasurably......
omg I love his attitude in this....
gotta love Rotten haha
the last quote is absolutely mind blowing.
i love him!
the ongoing force of ME
Hahaha I love when he finishes blowing his nose and pulls that face like "so there"
He sticks to what he does and knows... and no matter how he does it wether in sacasam or real he's actually real to himself love it
he is so awesome
3:22 -English sarcasm, makes me proud to be english
Johnny's right. The last taboo isn't sex or death, it's honesty. Few give it, even fewer can take it.
Best interview ever!
"Oh dear, i've become predictable..."
haha, i've never seen an interview with this guy but he seems really intelligent and a great character.
There is no such thing as punk, only Johnny Rotten
He's so arrogant... I like him:)
"This is why Im not tolerated, I cant be bothered to tell a lie, the truth is far harder but much more valid and much more worthwhile." What an amazing Comment !
i love rotten, he makes me laugh!
the fake fart is a masterpiece! johhny still rules! (r. i. p. sid, love!)
He makes me laugh
Johnny tells you as it is ❤
Great opening! Mr. Lydon has mellowed somewhat, but without losing his edge. He's put down his shield, but he may still draw his sword if need be.
Best Role Model Ever!!!!!!!!
"oh dear ive become predictable" hahaha
and
''you're looking at me....now thats naughty" lol
Outstanding!!!
he is a special person,he is just magic.
