Marcus Olsson That's condescending. The Sex Pistols were pop. Bowie made pop music, you're confusing pop with commercial crap.The early 70s glam years ,was a great time for pop,T-Rex, Slade,too much to mention.Even the lightweights like Mud were entertaining.
Marcus Olsson Early 70s British Glam in nearly the same thing is UK 70's punk, just a little less dirty. Simple, dumb, 3 chord songs that look back to Rock'n'Roll of the 50s/60s
Every song they played, I would be cracking up because the first person I would think of is Johnny Rotten and what he was thinking before he said anything. :))))
Steven Streight He was so against the rock star thing that he became one... If he really hated this he wouldn't have spent his whole career in front of the cameras.
He has stupid beliefs about a lot of things and lectures people with them. That's kind of bad. He probably isn't too bad as a light entertainment presenter but as a thinker he is a sodding joke.
He had an internet radio show some time ago on a now-defunct platform. I remember that he interviewed Lemmy, whom he seemed to be in awe of, and the head of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, whose work as an HIV/AIDS charity he treated with great interest and respect.
That's completely disingenuous - John Lydon said he wanted to kill Jimmy Saville back in 1978 and implied he was up to no good at a time when nobody else said a word against him publicly... he was also co-incidentally banned from BBC radio during that period... there's a big difference between not having the power to stop Jimmy Saville and being part of a deliberate 'cover-up'.
wow you literally just reversed what he did. He spoke out about him in an environment that would ultimately cost him money and influence. Not many others did that. Such as Esther Rantzen, who probably started Child-line because she felt guilty about covering his crimes up.
I like Johnny a lot simply because he was authentic never FAKE like ppl today and didn't give a shite. The Saville thing made me like him even more. Fuck Saville!
I find it ironic that Johnny was an avid fan of disco music despite that the genre was looked down upon by a lot of people in and throughout the punk scene. Definitely goes to show how much Rotten didn't give a damn what people thought, he liked what liked and didn't care, if thats not punk then I don't know what is.
I think he's more metal because of his open mind. Most in his genre act narrowed minded in attempt to radiate bravado. Johnny simply doesn't give a fuck about you, he doesn't give a fuck if we agree with him, he doesn't give a bout what I'm typing and anyone's comments - on him- for that matter. I love that, I don't want to aspire to be like him, because that's mystical pretension he's so rebelling against.
That's what I like about Noel Edmonds, he's keeping the 70's alive. He still looks the same today. Damn, I used to look similar to him, hair and all, now I've lost most of it. And he is 10 years older than me.
The world needs more people like Johnny. He speaks his mind without even thinking about it. That kind of brutal honesty is hard to come by these days when people are so freaking worried about what others will think of them if they say something that isn't socially or culturally acceptable.
This is funny and accurate. Apart from Johnny Lydon (Johnny Rotten's) acent, all the other "celebrities" have the establishment 'upper class' vocal tone. This is what the Pistols were about ..... letting the common man have a chance.
John Lydon is the most honest authentic person out there. He has & will always be blunt, honest to a fault... Yet incredibly endearing, sweet man. I adore him! 💛 Long live Rotten!!!!
OH LA LA CE SOUVENIR !! Quand je regardais cette vidéo, c'était en été 2011, j'avais 15 ans, fraîchement sortie du collège, future lycéenne (malheureusement cela n'a pas abouti) bref trop trop de bons souvenirs :/
the world is a better place because of Johnny Lydon... can't say the same for any others in this vid.... when we played The Pistols back in late 70's early 80's it felt real and gave us an escape from plastic people boredom.... we all owe Johnny some respect. He's stayed staunch.
I love it, John doesn't do that 'I'm open minded, and love all the crap being thrown at me' attitude which is what has sadly become very strong in today's world!! Look at X Factor, muppets who say they love all music and don't even know anything, just as long as they look universally friendly to the moron public buyers
Those people I bet are not really open-minded. And I also bet if some actual music went towards their direction they'd think its trash. I do admire the fact that in The Voice the judges can't see who is singing unless they want them or the end of the show. That's a bit nice, but I don't like the fact that the people are "trained" to preform/sing better. That's just stupid.
The UK need’s a PM like Johnny. There’s so many lies out there, so many lies. He’s the only one who told the truth. He was SHOCKING because he didn’t lie.
These were all posturing performances, John Lydon was putting on a deliberate performance here more than any of the others, just as he would later claim that everything he did as Johnny Rotten was a deliberate posturing, most of which he himself would call "crap" just as harshly as he said it of the records he was judging on this show. Alan Freedman's "Shut up" was done in the same spirit of jokingly echoing Lydon's own aggressive negativity. This Paul Morley is taking Johnny Rotten's calculating youth rebellion tactic to be more deep than it was.
sybo59 Of course it's not true. If you know how a tv studio is directed it's impossible for the camera's to miss anything happening on stage. Do you really think they did the whole (obviously spontanious) scene and discussion again? If so they deserve an oscar...
It would be years and years until the punters pulled up behind Lydon and then agreed with all he had to say here. Lydon is spot the fuck on as usual, the other panel members all went to hell in a hand basket.
As much as i love the late 70s disco music and i still do, I got to say that Johnny speak some sense to it. Yes. Music then was incredibly amazing. But Johnny obviously is ahead of its time. Imagine what would Johnny says about today's music. He would definitely swear on live TV just to be honest. Or even not to give an opinion about it.
I actually checked out the success of the tunes! Johnny was very much spot on!! he knew who was going to get a hit, even if he disliked them :) that punk band didn't go onto any major stardom! they were RUBBISH!!
@@aronhallam6449 They were hardly punk.....a band formed by 2 former members of The Strawbs? It was just a novelty thing trying to cash in on what the media expected punk to sound like at the time.
Great to see this again, and thank you. I enjoyed the part where he (John Lydon, as he preferred to be called by '79) slagged off Siouxsie and the Banshees' latest single - Noel Edmonds' surprise seemed to spur him on. And the bit where Noel said: "Mr Rotten has left, as he has better things to do" (or similar), was also funny. In retrospect, The Monks' single WAS patronising - am sure they had a hit with a song called Nice Legs, Shame About Her Face - but I sincerely like Donna Summer!
Joan Collins comments 1:03 are so STUPID! It's not a complicated song, Joan, it's "Bad Girls" - DUH! "What was the theme of the song? I couldn't get what she trying to say....hmm...I'm not quite sure....Bad...Girls....hmm"........DUH! Johnny's the coolest, hippest, guy that ever appeared on THIS dumb show, THAT's for sure! Loved the way he won over the crowd at 2:00 when he shouts "Rubbish! MISS!" BRAVO, Gianni! Clever, cute, cutting, insolent, impudent, the perfect combination....LOVE YOU, John! You're the BEST!
Patty Cifra There’s another clip of this on CZcams with Joan asking about the theme of the song, and it’s actually not Bad Girls, it’s Playground Twist by Siouxsie and the Banshees.
He’s a top bloke. I met him years ago at John Henry’s watching the footie when Arsenal won the league against Liverpool. Michale Thomas anyone. We were broke but John was great he treated us to beers when our dough ran out until we couldn’t stand., Legend.
look, nothings changed that much its entertainment, He was brought on to the show to do exactly what he did, It was/is expected.. "are we not entertained"?
Johnny Rotten c'est un icône. Une vraie personne. Je suis très fan de lui depuis mon adolescence et franchement plus j'en sais sur lui, plus je l'adore. Une belle personne, autant physiquement que mentalement ^^
John Lydon is so spot on. He was back then on that show. I agree with him when he said Donna somer s song bad girl was awful and the monks were patronising. That's what most pop material is. It's not about the music that means something to the listener. It's about image, popularity and who and what people relate to. It's about selling records and bringing the crowds to big venues. The masses of people are half asleep as Johnny rottern and the Sex Pistols made that perfectly clear back in 1977 when they appeared on the bill grundy show and when they released the single God save the Queen. He even spoke out against Jimmy Saville.
"Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you. The process of delving into the black abyss is to me the keenest form of fascination."
I bloody love the honesty and direct nature of Johnny R. Best thing is that his predictions in this programme regarding the other musicians came true. Big it up for for the non suckers of satans appendige..... LOL :D
You get the impression that Johnny is the only one not pretending.
Oh hes pretending, just in a different way to the rest of them.
@Dark Light Nah, Rotten already sold his punk ass. He was just a puppet.
@Dark Light it's a show he is putting on - said as much years later
I think the "shut up" wasn't pretending...it took johnny a while to come back from that
Your impression is right. You don't need to pretend if your intentions, opinions, emotions are legit and true.
''i hate it. it's awful.'' me listening to todays pop music.
Pop music is always awful.
Marcus Olsson That's condescending. The Sex Pistols were pop. Bowie made pop music, you're confusing pop with commercial crap.The early 70s glam years ,was a great time for pop,T-Rex, Slade,too much to mention.Even the lightweights like Mud were entertaining.
***** Except everything you mentioned but the Pistols is garbage
Marcus Olsson Early 70s British Glam in nearly the same thing is UK 70's punk, just a little less dirty. Simple, dumb, 3 chord songs that look back to Rock'n'Roll of the 50s/60s
Marcus Olsson Lydon wouldn't agree with you.....
Johnny is hilarious 😂 especially with the faces he makes in the beginning.
I finde that he look very good at 0:07 -0:09,yeah he is hilarious but very pissed of in this show :-D
John Lydon looks so handsome
Every song they played, I would be cracking up because the first person I would think of is Johnny Rotten and what he was thinking before he said anything. :))))
I listened only one song of Donna Summer final song Queen is back
Why did people laugh when he said "it was mediocre"?
Johnny Rotten is so authentic and brilliant. He single-handedly defined the entire punk and anti-rock star movement.
anti-celebrityism
so authentic hed never eat marge over butter
Steven Streight
He was so against the rock star thing that he became one... If he really hated this he wouldn't have spent his whole career in front of the cameras.
Then he started pimping butter. He was edgy.. More of a parody of himself now though.
What's wrong with selling butter? I keep seeing people complain about that but it makes no sense.
John Lyndon and Noel Edmund's perfectly encapsulating the chemistry and sheer joy of a typical British family Sunday lunch!
"How Johnny Rotten looks at Noel Edmunds is eventually how an entire nation would look at Noel Edmunds"
Hahahaha
What does that mean? Did he do something bad or something?
Yeah a loved that part hahahahaha ha
He has stupid beliefs about a lot of things and lectures people with them. That's kind of bad. He probably isn't too bad as a light entertainment presenter but as a thinker he is a sodding joke.
best bit haha
+argieav That's hilarious :)
I Wish John Lyndon Would Have His Own Chat Show...I Would Certainly Watch It.
He did for a while on MTV or VH1, I think, in the late 90s.
maybe he should be in american idol and xfactor shows as a judge, i would watch it just to see john lydon and hear him speak.
He had an internet radio show some time ago on a now-defunct platform. I remember that he interviewed Lemmy, whom he seemed to be in awe of, and the head of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, whose work as an HIV/AIDS charity he treated with great interest and respect.
“It don’t deserve no more comment than that” love it
When he's not pretending to be the hard-man, he's actually a very interesting real person. And he loves Kate Bush, so he can do no wrong in my eyes.
That's completely disingenuous - John Lydon said he wanted to kill Jimmy Saville back in 1978 and implied he was up to no good at a time when nobody else said a word against him publicly... he was also co-incidentally banned from BBC radio during that period... there's a big difference between not having the power to stop Jimmy Saville and being part of a deliberate 'cover-up'.
wow you literally just reversed what he did. He spoke out about him in an environment that would ultimately cost him money and influence. Not many others did that. Such as Esther Rantzen, who probably started Child-line because she felt guilty about covering his crimes up.
I like Johnny a lot simply because he was authentic never FAKE like ppl today and didn't give a shite. The Saville thing made me like him even more. Fuck Saville!
He's a first class arsehole
ironically ,,bush was ''discovered ''..by Floyd..who john ''hated''
I find it ironic that Johnny was an avid fan of disco music despite that the genre was looked down upon by a lot of people in and throughout the punk scene. Definitely goes to show how much Rotten didn't give a damn what people thought, he liked what liked and didn't care, if thats not punk then I don't know what is.
I think he's more metal because of his open mind. Most in his genre act narrowed minded in attempt to radiate bravado.
Johnny simply doesn't give a fuck about you, he doesn't give a fuck if we agree with him, he doesn't give a bout what I'm typing and anyone's comments - on him- for that matter. I love that, I don't want to aspire to be like him, because that's mystical pretension he's so rebelling against.
a 'punk' is a weak and passive prisoner who receives it up the anus
Punks were bad, vicious, rude and hard, but so fuckin authentic and that's why they're cool.
There was an Alice Cooper boxed set and I think Johnny Rotten wrote the notes in the book.
good for you and
so what
John was always so straight forward and blunt.... I LOVE IT XD
Once in a while, I watch this just to enjoy myself. He is my HERO. Always has been, always will be!
I know, Noel really is that good isn't he!
That's what I like about Noel Edmonds, he's keeping the 70's alive. He still looks the same today. Damn, I used to look similar to him, hair and all, now I've lost most of it.
And he is 10 years older than me.
Ohhhh John Lydon is my ultimate HERO!!! Much love 😍
Johnny looks like he/'s in Serious pain haha
he's great
and all those other knobs blathering on
shut up already
manuelkong10 haha 😂
He's authentic and the rest don't get it..
Everything he's ever said and done is an act. There's nothing authentic about it. Nobody's that stupid.
Ummm didnt he try and get it known about Jimmy Saville... But the British BULLSHIT Corporation silenced him!?
Edmond's hairdo looks like a bell-end. Most fitting.
"SHUT IT, WILL YOU!" I LOVE IT ! !
Such an amazing man, holy shit, just look at him, he's a living piece of art
He's cute
The world needs more people like Johnny. He speaks his mind without even thinking about it. That kind of brutal honesty is hard to come by these days when people are so freaking worried about what others will think of them if they say something that isn't socially or culturally acceptable.

Gotta luv Johnny! The voice of reason!
i think he's like a child, he talks unfiltered and honest so that's what makes him special
Обожаю Джони *-* Не понимаю ни слова из всего того, что он говорит, но хотя бы смотреть на него уже удовольствие с:
love paul morley in this "the way he looks at noel edmonds is eventually the way an entire nation will look at noel edmonds"
Ignore Alien Orders I don't get it.
Yep. A true bellend.
Lol. John Lydon would get me to actually watch a show like this if he was on it.
Love him ! Authentic and straight to the point
Johnny Rotten is *DEAFENINGLY* the PERFECT judge for these things you never know how he's going to feel about those songs 🤪
He is such a doll. Intelligent, ascerbic, hilarious, honest!
Agree that's what a true britain man should be: a brilliant punk
John Lydon is the most honest authentic person out there. He has & will always be blunt, honest to a fault... Yet incredibly endearing, sweet man. I adore him! 💛 Long live Rotten!!!!
OH LA LA CE SOUVENIR !! Quand je regardais cette vidéo, c'était en été 2011, j'avais 15 ans, fraîchement sortie du collège, future lycéenne (malheureusement cela n'a pas abouti) bref trop trop de bons souvenirs :/
"Big difference, good night." LOL! Yes, Johnny is a walking masterpiece!
Brutal honesty. The world could use more of that today.
'The way he would look at Noel Edmonds is the way that eventually the whole nation would look at Noel Edmonds'
Not really. Paul Morley is a complete twat
the world is a better place because of Johnny Lydon... can't say the same for any others in this vid.... when we played The Pistols back in late 70's early 80's it felt real and gave us an escape from plastic people boredom.... we all owe Johnny some respect. He's stayed staunch.
"That ain't the Donna Summers I know. I hate it. It was awful."
That makes me laugh so much XD
I LOVE HIM, he just destroys !
Again he's pissed.
I love it, John doesn't do that 'I'm open minded, and love all the crap being thrown at me' attitude which is what has sadly become very strong in today's world!!

Oh shit, that's so true. Today is full of fake people pretending to be nice while stabbing each other in the back.
Gibson Weasel the sad think Is billions of retards watch this fucking crap how fucked up Is this planet
He's spot on
lol, he's so funny with those angry eyes all the time
I love Johnny
Patronising BBC presenters who thought they were God's.
Well said Johnny. Bollocks to those old farts. We all felt the same.
Lurcio Titters I fuckin hated Alan Freeman when my mum used to play his music hour on the radio when I was little. Ugh...
I like what John says in his new book about the host.
The UK need’s a PM like Johnny. There’s so many lies out there, so many lies. He’s the only one who told the truth. He was SHOCKING because he didn’t lie.
He tells it like it is 👌👌👌👍
The guy is a legend.
Dear Mr. Lydon, always a breath of fresh air.
Johnny Rotten speaks his mind and always will.
OMG, John Lydon AND Joan Collins on the same show? DAMN!!
so hot john 😍😍
why dont ya rev up ur old harley what the fuck
He was
He was like a breath of fresh air..
beautiful boy

MagiMysteryTour Classic talking head shite from Morley.
I watched this Live in 79 this is no act, this is exactly how he was, the other clowns are the Actors.
Lydon may later have criticized his younger self, but his attitude while a member of the Sex Pistols was very real.
John Lydon was acting up more than anyone else.
To hear Paul Morley intellectualizing Lydon acting like an obstreperous teenager is so embarrassing
@@JohnSmith-su3ze I agree. I liked the Pistols but I always find Rotten just plain unlikeable
I was there, working on the show. Johnny Rotten walked off but the cameras missed it, so he obligingly came back and walked off again
If that's true, it's very telling.
sybo59
Of course it's not true. If you know how a tv studio is directed it's impossible for the camera's to miss anything happening on stage. Do you really think they did the whole (obviously spontanious) scene and discussion again? If so they deserve an oscar...
I heard that too but as they said about Lemmy & Huey Morgan doing the same on Buzzcocks. " ,walk off when the shows over, great move guys!"
Explendid!
@@ianmeredith7969 you can be sincere and spoiled little brat all at once ;)
all very true - he snarles at people and that's all -still people for some reason love him for it so his career will continue
johnny's face at the start cracks me up
It would be years and years until the punters pulled up behind Lydon and then agreed with all he had to say here. Lydon is spot the fuck on as usual, the other panel members all went to hell in a hand basket.
Like when the young ones went on university challenge.
Priceless. Go Johnny go
The man is brilliant, john tells the truth, tell the public the truth, takes no SHIT ,
John you always amaze!

@@aronhallam6449 They were hardly punk.....a band formed by 2 former members of The Strawbs? It was just a novelty thing trying to cash in on what the media expected punk to sound like at the time.
I liked nice legs e.t.c. it was a good one off novelty hit. The follow up song bombed because the radio stations refused to play it shame on them.
Their album "Bad Habits" sold to Double Platinum status in Canada in 1982.
A Celeb Pop Quiz Show and Noel Edmonds is dressed for a BBC Board meeting!
superb!!
You can just see a sly smile on his face clearly he's enjoying himself
ah i love him
Great to see this again, and thank you. I enjoyed the part where he (John Lydon, as he preferred to be called by '79) slagged off Siouxsie and the Banshees' latest single - Noel Edmonds' surprise seemed to spur him on. And the bit where Noel said: "Mr Rotten has left, as he has better things to do" (or similar), was also funny. In retrospect, The Monks' single WAS patronising - am sure they had a hit with a song called Nice Legs, Shame About Her Face - but I sincerely like Donna Summer!

"What was the theme of the song? I couldn't get what she trying to say....hmm...I'm not quite sure....Bad...Girls....hmm"........DUH!
Johnny's the coolest, hippest, guy that ever appeared on THIS dumb show, THAT's for sure!
Loved the way he won over the crowd at 2:00 when he shouts "Rubbish! MISS!" BRAVO, Gianni!
Clever, cute, cutting, insolent, impudent, the perfect combination....LOVE YOU, John! You're the BEST!
Patty Cifra There’s another clip of this on CZcams with Joan asking about the theme of the song, and it’s actually not Bad Girls, it’s Playground Twist by Siouxsie and the Banshees.
The great rock 'roll SWINDLE
He’s a top bloke. I met him years ago at John Henry’s watching the footie when Arsenal won the league against Liverpool. Michale Thomas anyone. We were broke but John was great he treated us to beers when our dough ran out until we couldn’t stand., Legend.
Very intelligent man love you jonny
what do you expect when you invite a punk legend to something like this
Dunno if I'd call slagging everything "authentic", but it's certainly entertaining. Love the way Freedman went at him; made it all the more amusing.
wow, people smoking on tv!
Those were the good old days when you could still smoke on TV and Johnny Rotten had the same hairstyle there like Sid Vicious,just in red ;-D
James Corden has a pint under the desk on A League of Their Own.he drinks it during the breaks lol.
amazing and honest man!!! wath humans are supposed to be
This is brilliant tv
Love how honest he is
Wow. He looks great here.
He was soooooo sweet and cute
was
He was kind of cute back then but he apparently always had bad breath hence the name Johnny Rotten. Sid was better looking but so totally fucked up.
look, nothings changed that much its entertainment, He was brought on to the show to do exactly what he did, It was/is expected.. "are we not entertained"?
Lui il endure pas les hypocrites comme moi, je l adore un VRAI

Rock on Jonnie
There's another episode where Siouxsie Sioux was on, and she was great.
Joan Collins was almost 50 by then - what a hottie ?
Lydon was the only one of them who was really being honest and speaking from the heart.
John takes his ball home, again.
HE isnt going to like anything cept his own noise...A legend in his own mind
can't belive the host is really Kurt cobains dad...amazing
Alan Freeman! What a hero! I never realised.
Waiting for the biopic. JL facial expressions here are priceless
he looked so good in his younger years
He was an 8/10
Me gusta Dona Summer, es fresh and cool
