I love Johnny Rotten because you can see that deep down he is a decent guy he is just obviously so sick and unimpressed with people sacrificing their individuality and soul for the sake of a increasingly cosmetic industry. He's just straight up tired of people treating him like an infamous commodity to further their own careers rather than a real person....
@@idiotnyn and exactly wtf is wrong with that??? Don't get me wrong I can't stand Trump at all he's a piece of shit but I fail to see why society makes it seem as if it's a sin to support him and insted of embracing a difference of opinion
@@aspiringprogrammer2820 well yeah I agree with you. This is a TV courtroom though. I have never seen a television judge jail someone for contempt. They probably like the added drama for ratings.
He walked it back in 2014 and said it really meant only that he wanted Savile locked up. A lot of people "wanted" to kill Hitler but didn't do much about it... and if anyone was going to buy all of them beer, they'd be broke.
Maybe some will disagree with me, but I think some interviewers try to get a reaction out of him because they know of the Pistols' provocative reputation and want to get a clip of him getting angry. He's actually fairly calm in a lot of interviews.
Anthony Sclafani I agree. These days if the interviewer is you and I's idea of decent and respectful, John is ok. Still full of passion, opinions and phrases that only John can have/do, but fairly mellow and good natured overall. He's been interviewed by Piers Morgan twice and been pretty placid both times - maybe he respects Piers for also being willing to tell it like it is?
He stays calm on purpose, because he is able to act however he wants at any given time. There are many people like this, just not in the industry, because they can't be manipulated.
They all try to get a reaction and always have. For fuck sake they put his band PIL on American Bandstand after the pistols broke up. Wanted him on talk shows. They know if they book him for anything it's gonna be a crust show and get views

I don't think a true sociopath would make themselves so vulnerable.
@Cyanide you should respect someone just because they're a judge? You do realise plenty of shitty people become judges and even more become lawyers, right?
@@riks081 It's not about the person, but about the position, the institution and law. A good judge does not need to be a good person. A good judge needs to be acting according to law. They basically are a neutral machine when in session.
I hated the sex pistol’s as a kid . But I understand it now , John was , and still is, ahead of his time of his time , and he’s still worth listening to . Need more like him , especially in these times .
I don't like the music because its sound doesn't appeal to me, but I absolutely love John and the message behind the punk movement. It definitely needs to come back.
Keeping in mind that he's a member of an auspicious club alongside Jello Biafra, Jaz Coleman, and Sinead O'Connor (perhaps even Frank Zappa to some degree, in light of his faceoff vs. the PMRC) , as well as comedians Lenny Bruce, George Carlin, and Bill Hicks.
"Yeah sure, let's invite Johnny Rotten to a guest spot on the Roxanne show!" - said the producer with no idea the real weight and gravity of who Johnny is or the situation that would cause.
I met this guy. I worked at his house to get rid of his termites. He was the chillest dude ever, drank a 12 pack of red stripes and smoked a whole pack of Marlboro reds while I was there. He was just chilling and vibing talking to us the whole time.
I loved that Judge Judy episode. Saw it on tv years ago. Was just a fluke that i caught it. You can tell Johnny and Judy had a mutual bemused appreciation and respect for each other.
If John Lyndon was taken seriously on what he said about Jimmy Saville years ago then that disgrace of a human being would have been investigated sooner and suffered what he deserved to suffer rather than getting away with everything and taking it to his grave. Those who knew what he was up to and too scared to say anything to risk their reputations should be thoroughly ashamed and deserve their laden of guilt.
Honestly, I could listen to Johnny talk for hours!! Watched documentaries with him and he always speaks intelligently, has great humor & calls BS people out immediately. Love him!!
Absolutely. Well played. He is actually a nice person and a good person, and when he's treated poorly he reacts. I hope he's doing okay too. I wrote him a letter, not an email, and got a very nice response. And very thoughtful. Not a form letter. He's a good guy. I don't have his home address, I wrote him via his record label when I was younger, and I was stoked that he replied. I'm certain in today's era you could find a way to contact him, he's not so famous that people would stop him in the street, anymore. He's very down to Earth.
@@jbagger331 Yeah, but he doesn't care about that. He doesn't care about people's opinions. And they were right to kick him out after his "backstage" jokes. He was not going there in a peaceful mind.

iemand anders Hahahaha. He didn’t “wimp out” because he was never a punk to begin with just a pretentious moronic wannabe punk. The first REAL popular punk bands were The Stooges, The Clash and The Ramones. End of story. Edit: Maybe The Damned too.
I loved the Judge Judy clip. Both him and her are people who represent two different sides of the same coin yet at the same time are both equally as brash, loud mouthed, and quick tempered so they both just kinda understood each other in a way and found a compromise immediately without it turning into a giant argument.
Here’s a guy that should, at times, have bitten his bottom lip. Not because he was wrong, but because he was pretty much right; his antiestablishment behaviour is what made most people switch off and not take him seriously; because of that they thought of him as an idiot. Read deep and you’ll uncover a very intelligent man. All power to you Johnny. A man who was/is way ahead of his time.
Simonize41 yep that is so true. He spoke the truth and was straight up. It was the way he came across to people thats why people did'nt take him seriously. If they stood back a minute and think what he just said they all would of.
Simonsays, you can't understand your own hypocrisy, Lydon is his own man yet here you are telling him to be shaped to fit into a box so everyone could understand him.
Adolf, yup, seriously clever and observant man, love listening to his ramblings. He would make a fantastic TV tour guide type program host, he's got a few on London that are well worth the watch..
John isnt one to disrespect people who haven't disrespected him. Once she pointed out that she had not disrespected him, he realized he was the one in the wrong. That's what makes him a man and not a baby. I wouldn't call that Judy making him back down though. That was them showing each other mutual respect.
I just consider that being a man and showing respect. I have never seen the whole show though. That's the only time I've seen John disrespect someone without reason to. Probably embarrassed him some to come off like a twat.
I will always have respect for the man, he says what he thinks, doesn't sugar coat, doesn't apologize for it, means what he says, is as blunt as a cudgel and doesn't care what anyone thinks about him.
I'm from a very tiny Appalachian town in Alabama, born in the '60's, so we never got interesting or different music on the radio around here. I'll never forget when my best friend introduced me to her elementary school best friend who had just returned stateside from her daddy being in the Army, stationed in Germany...when she made a cassette copy of Nevermind the Bollocks. My life changed. I am grateful to Mr. Lydon for being the sole motivating factor for me to learn as much about and hear as much music as possible the rest of my life! It helped a lot when I finally moved away from the small town to Atlanta...
LOOK into the case and how dodgy the whole story is , she paid that junkie friend to cover it up and she supplied him with junk for his effort , she was and is a whore that pissed up millions , even had her daughter bailing her out , she's a fucking mess ........ don't get me wrong i'm not a curt fan boi , i didn't think that much to his music but she played more a part in his death than curt did
That last bit, where he's calling out Courtney, Ozzy and Axle!!! Hahaha epic I can't believe how respectful that banter was from Judge Judy. Very cool.
Johnny is probably one of the freest human beings on the planet. He doesn’t conform to others rules or conventions. He’s like the last human being in “invasion of the body snatchers”. I never particularly liked him, but greatly admired the fact that he is always true to himself, he’s never been afraid to call bullshit out, always has from a young age. Good for him.
He has pointed out during his time in the limelight many other things that turned out to be correct but when the bought and paid for media paints him as the village idiot they cover the truth cos most sheeple consider him an amusement.
How incredible that he had the courage to say the things he did at a time when it was not cool to do so. I just love him! Why did I never hear about him before? I heard of the Sex Pistols but he is something else. Grown men still do not have the courage that he had all those decades ago.

Johnny was awesome. There was no BS - he gave his answers directly and truthfully. No one could accept IT AND THEY CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH.
His honesty is out of the universe 🌌
Johnny is a fucking legend
I love Johnny Rotten.
The only person who could make him back down was Judge Judy.
LOL !!!!
John isnt one to disrespect people who haven't disrespected him. Once she pointed out that she had not disrespected him, he realized he was the one in the wrong. That's what makes him a man and not a baby. I wouldn't call that Judy making him back down though. That was them showing each other mutual respect.
He apologized.
That is backing down.
I just consider that being a man and showing respect. I have never seen the whole show though. That's the only time I've seen John disrespect someone without reason to. Probably embarrassed him some to come off like a twat.
I will always have respect for the man, he says what he thinks, doesn't sugar coat, doesn't apologize for it, means what he says, is as blunt as a cudgel and doesn't care what anyone thinks about him.
I'm from a very tiny Appalachian town in Alabama, born in the '60's, so we never got interesting or different music on the radio around here. I'll never forget when my best friend introduced me to her elementary school best friend who had just returned stateside from her daddy being in the Army, stationed in Germany...when she made a cassette copy of Nevermind the Bollocks. My life changed. I am grateful to Mr. Lydon for being the sole motivating factor for me to learn as much about and hear as much music as possible the rest of my life! It helped a lot when I finally moved away from the small town to Atlanta...
Wow that exchange with Judge Judy. Immediately apologizes when he knows he's wrong, that's a real man
*Courtney Love* Kurt’s money
Lol love the shared civility between him and Judge Judy)))
He's right about Courtney 5:10
Ferdinand Stephons he should have mentioned all the clear cut evidence that she had him murdered too.
LOOK into the case and how dodgy the whole story is , she paid that junkie friend to cover it up and she supplied him with junk for his effort , she was and is a whore that pissed up millions , even had her daughter bailing her out , she's a fucking mess ........ don't get me wrong i'm not a curt fan boi , i didn't think that much to his music but she played more a part in his death than curt did
He was dead on
He was right but his own rebellion is pretty empty as well. He's always contradicting himself.
Yes she kill me
He was just honest and quick to speak truthfully without filter.
He’s an amazing person, people will hate on anyone who is brave enough to do what’s right
5:07
The question everyone asked the grunge generation.
Johnny rotten is an inspiration to rebels of all ages
S K G
Green Day is great!
So are the Sex Pistols.
I’m sure he doesn’t hate Green Day fans.
I wish people were as real as him. Huge respect.
That last bit, where he's calling out Courtney, Ozzy and Axle!!! Hahaha epic I can't believe how respectful that banter was from Judge Judy. Very cool.
Johnny Rotten reminds me of a real life DROP DEAD FRED LMAO
Jeremy Whitaker yes. Lol
Jeremy Whitaker My father had a small role in that movie. Glad to see a reference to it! And yes, I see the similarities. 👍🏼😂
1:29 I almost pissed myself laughing!
- "I havn't been disrespectable have I?"
- "No you havn't ... Apologies."
Script
@@klemenator maybe
I love his snarkiness, its hysterical 😂😂😂
“I’m underwhelmed” I’m so in love with Jonny Rotten.
Johnny: "They're wonderful people..."
Inteviewer: "Are they?"
Johnny: "Oh yes, they really turn us on."
😂😂😂
"oh sorry....RUDE word" *rolls eyes*
"Next question..."
Ever so sheepishly... "shit." Like getting caught by the teacher in class. LEGENDARY! "GOOD LOOD"!
He couldn't express himself because of the social politness and 'bad words'
Johnny is probably one of the freest human beings on the planet. He doesn’t conform to others rules or conventions. He’s like the last human being in “invasion of the body snatchers”. I never particularly liked him, but greatly admired the fact that he is always true to himself, he’s never been afraid to call bullshit out, always has from a young age. Good for him.
Johnny aint right but he aint wrong ether.
😀
Somehow him saying that he was simply underwhelmed was the most hurtful comment on the whole video.
I AM NOW BEING REMOVED FROM THE ROSEANNE BARR SHOW
And now they both love Trump. Go figure.
@@bahhumbug9824 damn, johnny rotten is a trumpie? thats sad AND embarrassing.
Sorry to hear about Johnny's wife, god bless .
Holy shit he was on point with the Jimmy Saville comments
He has pointed out during his time in the limelight many other things that turned out to be correct but when the bought and paid for media paints him as the village idiot they cover the truth cos most sheeple consider him an amusement.
As were many people. They were banned too.
Love this man! He’s a national treasure!
He was right when he sang” your future dream’s a shopping scheme “.
john,probably saw globalism coming,before the ptb told the public how great it would be.visionary
Lyndon and Mustaine should have a beer together.
They are very similar attitude-wise....they might get along well, you never know.
BTW...it's Lydon
Yeah, my bad
That would be like a ball of red hair. Probably Josh Homme could join too.
brandname6 lol brilliant
brandname6 LMAO!
Never Mind The Bollocks is one of the greatest albums ever to be released.
He’s so able to see through people and its brilliant
He’s right about Jimmy Seville. Jimmy’s evil incarnate.😑
Damn... Even John could see through Courtney's facade, shame Kurt couldn't.
He is pretty much an expert when it comes to blonde US sluts ruining the lives of great guys blinded by love.
Preach
@@jasmineleather6756 you're cheesy
Best Ever Epic Millennial even though you’re name says millennial. Stfu go vape and complain about how everyone hates you
Well, he knew the original Courtney...
He'd seen that show before and it didn't end well then.
You have to love Johnny. "What are you (Courtney Love) rebelling against? You're just a pile of confusion!" .... "Courtney Love Kurt's Money" Lmao
I’m reading his autobiography at the moment he’s a deeply intelligent man. Talks a lot of sense
TV Hosts and Interviewers love him. He gives them something to talk about and he knows it.
"he's like ur dad, inny this geezer"
im crying this is literally dripping in british
I used to have no use for Johnny Rotten, but now he is one of the celebrities I would most love to hang out with for a day.
2:25 that's actually pretty sweet.
How incredible that he had the courage to say the things he did at a time when it was not cool to do so. I just love him! Why did I never hear about him before? I heard of the Sex Pistols but he is something else. Grown men still do not have the courage that he had all those decades ago.
Couldn’t be more right about axel rose! Long Live Johnny Rotten!!!
