When I was younger, I thought John was wrong for what he did. Now that I'm much older, I completely understand and I admire him a great deal for having the balls to do this.
@@Jchasser they were getting shafted by Malcom and many others. John realized that they were set up to fail in a giant publicity stunt and he wasn’t haven’t it. Second and less interesting reason is that malcom was taking essentially all the bands earnings while they lived like dirt
Then take it out on McLarren. Not the ticket buying fans. John just became increasingly egotistical, flexing his egotistical muscles. Malcolm didn’t suffer a single bit from this… you just got a load of disappointed fans.
This clip also missed the part where John is squatting down, staring at the floor and chanting in a low monotone "No fun...this is no fun, at all...no fun...", although it does capture his miserable introspective look out over the crowd, where he's clearly like "Man, fuck this. So sick of this joke of a band."
The song they were performing was actually called no fun. But it was very in the moment as he clearly wasn't having any fun and sid was clearly off his face.
#mayweathervspacquiao I couldn't care less about the fight tonight or boxing, but from what I read about it, and considering the viewing fee and all the hype leading up to it, this famous Johnny Rotten quote seemed right on point.
My equal favourite with the Bob Dylan Manchester Free Trade Hall one when he goes electric for the first time. The crowd all boo him and one person shouts "Judas" at him. After a brief pause Dylan comes back with "I don't believe you. You're a liar!" ruclips.net/video/PCGPhzWWgco/видео.html
@btj1960 Not really. The Stooges live shows were the stuff of legend and Iggy was already collaborating with Bowie by 1976. Did the Stooges top the charts like Alice Cooper or Kiss, no. Were they a massive influence on punk bands of the mid-to-late '70s, yes. No Fun, Search and Destroy, and I Wanna Be Your Dog were common covers. For example, Blondie was covering Funtime in 77 or so and there are significant elements of Rollins' stage persona during his Black Flag days which are influenced by Iggy.
GABBER DEEN I've nothing against butter, I love it... My comment relates to anarchy & reality - because sooner or later one has to, whether by force or choice, join the cogs of the machine & the ever enveloping rat-race... Regardless; I love the period when people thought that they could change anything, and guess what - they were all cheated; because it was all a big game & they unknowingly followed the script to the letter... *Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?* - I do, all the bloody time...
@@ppuh6tfrz646 Yes, and Lydon certainly thought so too. Bayviewfinch doesn't seem to realise that Lydon was asking the question of the audience, not asking himself.
@@rjlchristie I got the impression that Lydon felt he was being cheated as a member of the Sex Pistols but didn't he then hypocritically cheat the fans by ending the performance early?

One day, that young man will advertise butter on the TV.
yeah and it was funny.
@@rigsby1454 when McLaren cheats people it's bang out of order but when Lyndon does it it's fine?
lol ... though didn't seem to butter up the audience with this act

Watching an ad for X-Men kind of cheapened the whole experience of watching this. So is the trade-off for having media at my fingertips...
The perfect epitaph for punk
0:44: it's that smirk that cracks me up. I ask people that question all the time.
Rotten was always so polite. Good night.
"This is no fun." He ment that.
This video is more relevant now that there is a series of them on the Disney Channel.
Wow, is it THAT VERY gig :) ? I think it was the very last Pistols gig back then, right?
yes

***** lol I just looked for this to post it in relation to that sham of a fight/sport
masstransit2 Brilliant minds think alike!
This makes me feel sad. :(
Yes, many times
one of my favorite videos
@Marina Lopes Yes Marina, for me too... love the Pistols since one year

God save the queen....but God bless Johnny Rotten...
Me to student finance haha
Every election day I've experienced.
2020 especially cheated???oh yeah big time
Same energy as Blur at Coachella 2024
Now a major NFT series
History right there y'all
Oh, I'm pretty sure he got ripped off pretty bad. That's ancient history though. He's quite positive about things now unless I'm imagining things.
And then 8 years later
@@mikewosowski342 I consider him to be morally superior to most people in government. Those of them on the collectivist side of history anyhow.
No, but I do get that feeling of Déjà vu
Birth of postpunk
Yeah.
I mean to me less punk is better punk so I’m pleased with this clip
john lydon rules
Thank you Sam Seder
Yep I am here from Majority Report!
Only constantly. :)
Ok thanks for the explanation
23/06/2021 . Never more relevant in the the U.K
DIdn't understand what he meant, could someone explain please ?
I think he felt he got cheated by his management deal
lot like an election
History right here
Reggie Bush and Vince Young explaining why their careers in the NFL were so underachieving...
Lol
This is all about how bad Simon John Ritchie was at playing and how crap the music was because of him. They basically turned his bass off.
CHEA'ED
EPIC
How much did iggy pop make in royalties? just wondering who got cheated.
watch?v=vvRkJzVQBP0
You think they just stole No Fun from the Stooges?

In the 70's everybody covered everybody, shit I like Sid covers so fuck it
And punk died here :'(
Any democrats here? Great question now that the potato has dropped out?
No fun.

Psh. The reason why he felt he was cheated is called "projection." That guy cheated a lot of people out of their money.
What would you know about it?
@@rjlchristie You don't think this was cheating the fans who bought their tickets and turned up to watch them perform?
