As others have said i could listen to John speak for hours. He's lived through some very low points, and some very high points and every time he speaks its with sincerity and full of emotion.
Everyone I met who new Sid including their tour manager really loved him. Or at the very least said they liked him. Soo said they saw Texas Chainsaw Massacre together ❤️
Nowt but respect for John, a man from the generation of mega nonces and creeps who is anything but, he's rough round the edges but a true gentleman and as trustworth a bloke you'll ever meet.
Had the pleasure of going to see John Lydon at Blackpool.. very entertaining, loved hearing about his life & his question time ..much more entertaining than any politicians..👍
Je suis devenu fan des Pistols et des Stooges grâce à Kurt Cobain. Johnny Rotten est quand même le chanteur de l'un des meilleurs albums de tous les temps...J'adore ce type, il est authentique et fou dans le bon sens du terme!
@@adamfindlay7091 Yeah I think he always regrets bringing simon/ Sid into the band. Because in a way that was his downfall. But you can't change what was.
John is a fantastic human being . I love his stories ,his values and his respect for others . I wasnt a punk . I loved the specials 2 tone and madness . But all the interviews ive seen him in .... he makes sense and hes true to his word love you lots johnny ...... youre not so rotten as people make out
@@leonboden7974 LOl I got into punk at around 1979. Always been a pistols fan. Also was into crass the Exploited ANWL And the rest. Yeah I didn't mind the specials. I've never know anyone who don't like em?
@Boilingfrogg watch I think rock goes to colledge specials in concert . I used to come home from school and at 6pm bbc2 that was on . Terry hall became my idol there and then he didn't take any crap . It'll be on you tube 1979 or 1980 maybe . Good on you for your favorite groups 👏 in early 80s at discos all the tribes used to wait around the dance floor until it was their tribes time to join in it was awesome like ska mod punk new wave Adam and the ants rock etc etc it was fab and truly I don't think that has ever happened since those days
@@leonboden7974 Yes I remember it well. Different tribes waiting for their turn on the dance floor. At our local youth centre it was always the same two records they'd play every Friday. Dead Kennedys "Holiday In Cambodia" and sex pistols "Holidays in the sun" we'd be falling all over the place dancing. After drinking a few bottles of strongbow cider in the streets. Lol
This man is 1 of the most genuine blokes ever to walk this earth he dont care who he upsetts and was treated like shit after he knew about Saville and the rest of those BBC beasts
@Boilingfrogg brilliant content I remember wen I was 10 my sister asked me what I wanted for my birthday present??? My reply was the sex pistols never mind the bollocks LP !! she took me for it I've still got it along with my other pistols records
@@ianwoodham3676 Nice one! Bet it'll be worth a Bob or two? Not that you'd want to sell it of course .so you've been a pistols fan since the very beginning. I was a late starter. I got into the pistols around 1979. You'll be the Same age as me then. I was born March 67

To have the balls to
Write about UDA IRA
ect in the 70s
Amongst other subjects was tough beyond belief....
