I had just posted on another video, jonny has always been brutally honest and extremely insightful it's just that jonny rotten always said everything with such a heavy dose of sarcasm that people just thought he was being a Provocature I was so blown away and happy to see him on the masked singer HAVING A BLAST !!!
She is facilitating him so well that he is given the chance, for a change, to talk so, and be the honest transparent person he prefers being. As he says in the interview, if given stick, he gives more stick back. But she's rather humble, and he's really enjoying a decent and fair interview and talking bout real things. It's one of the best I've seen.
It was naff woolley headed upper middle class hypocritical that's he hates. He actually is quoted I a other interview saying "if it weren't for Hawkwind, there might never have been a Sex Pistols" so go figure. Also, on here there's a video of Steve showing Pistols guitar chords and in a few you're hearing early 70s Hawkwind almost. And Johnny thundersy type things.
The way he talks, the way he thinks, the way he hears and makes music and sings, it's all so unique. There'll never be another John Lydon, more's the pity.
I assume you're being sarcastic. Lydon is very rich. But he likes money a a lot - and has always used controversy to attract attention and make money. Like his stuff on Brexit. The amazing things is that there are mugs who swallow the nonsense that he is "anti-establishment".
Makes him even better in my book, he is a success despite never playing the game and always being 100% honest. Disagree with a lot of what he says but he Is the ONLY popstar, filmstar etc who says it as he means it and risks upsetting people in a world of frauds.
no one says that every new form of music that comes into business, every fashion, whether it's punk, rock or anything, always follows the Masonic lobby guidelines, which every year turn out new fashions, new groups, to convince the masses to be against the current system ..... then there are the characters like John Lydon, who probably really believe in their art, but in reality they are doing, consciously or not, what Freemasonry wants: to go against every Christian teaching to keep people away from Jesus ... I remind everyone that the Masons hate Jesus and worship Lucifer ... it seems like a fantasy, but it is reality!
Agree, here is my comment: don't know much about him but the fact he took a swipe at communism and steadfastly defends his freedom of speech makes me love him well enough. Wow, had to edit to say he is an outright genius and the opposite of what i thought when he says he doesn't like single parent families or same sex not because he is a nazi, but because he realizes this is normal in nature and when nature does not conform to itself something goes wrong or as he says "there is something missing." Yeah, it's called boys don't know how to be men and girls grow up to be too slutty just to simplify things. One more thing: there are a lot of people who would believe what he does, however they are boring, staid, stodgy conservative types who one feels were brought up that way from birth - this guy is a free spirited liberal sex drugs rock and roll type who naturally and spontaneously arrived at the same truths as the boring traditional types did. How fascinating!
He’s right 100% traditional family values are that for a reason...confusing a kids upbringing leads to further confusion in later life..great interview
@@dickycharger7118 I think John is right about the labels "Traditional" and "Modern" - they only serve to pit us against each other as if it's one or the other. I think there's a way for "Traditional" values to slowly "Modernise" but we are still learning as a society to listen and communicate ideas without going to war with each other about them.
His stament about kids needing a normal traditional family of a married mother and father who are Woman- an adult human female and a Man- an adult human male and not some extreme leftist fantasy as to what makes a family is 100% correct. Also he is correct when he says we all have different abilities and aptitudes we are not all equal some are destined for the stars others are not and that is a fact of life
so did Sid Vicious come from a traditional family? what about Charles Manson? is that traditional? or that don't count? Or fuking Hitler for that matter. There is no formula to life, life just IS. saying there is, is fuking dumb af. what he did there is shit on all the years of "equality" bs he always talks about. He is pandering to his interviewer as he seems to do in most interviews in his late life to sell his fucking books... good for him... Fuk off
Lydon is very rich. But he likes money a a lot - and has always used controversy to attract attention and make money. Like his stuff on Brexit. The amazing things is that there are mugs who swallow the nonsense that he is "anti-establishment".
Gar Sm he’s establishment because he likes money? If you love money wouldn’t it pay to be antiestablishment considering the establishment wants to take our money and redistribute it?
-" We must not loose our basic instincts over modern doctrines." Was there ever a time as good as now where this tought applies more? Johnny boy, my man.
No Religion should exist, but the teaching of Faith, Equality, Morality, Acceptance, and of course Love Eternal, and as for Johnny, a role model not unlike Jesus who also caused controversy in Religion and preached against it, turning tables over in places of worship and claiming the hypocrisy of it , as not of God the Creator of us, but a false righteousness not having spirit. Like our Famous Brother, Johnny shares his Truth from the Heart and makes no apologies for it and why the hell should he?
That line of "Jesus didn't teach religion" is such a self-serving load of crap. Please stop denying what you're doing and start defending it on its own merits, instead of coming up with these nonsensical distinctions. Jesus was a rabbi of the Jewish faith who taught some not terribly radical ideas. (Everything he taught had been taught before by others, including within the Hebrew religion - look up Hallel, for instance.) He was very MUCH religious - it's even in the bible. He says he's not here to change "one jot or tittle" in the law, meaning he had no interest in changing his faith at all, only in giving people some hope for the future and a better way to see their religion. If you have any respect for the man, don't twist his words to suit your own spiritual whims.
Reiligion is not about joy or love, it's about controlling the masses, to keep the established order and make sure no one rocks the boat. This is why Karl Marx said that religion is the opium of the masses. He's probably one of the first people who stated that fact openly
Weirdly it was John Lennon who stated: "Honesty won't get you many friends, but it will get you the right ones" John Lydon proved that his entire life, because most people hate him for it, but rarely do any of those people actually listen to what he has to say.
your welcome, this is probably the only interview where he is truly himself, coz the interviewer isn't trying to catch him off guard or ridicule him, thanks for watching and commenting
He's very clever, quick witted, self opinionated, charming and funny, and he was about the only honest person to speak out about that wretched creature Jimmy Saville and the BBC....the sex pistols came into my life at just the right time I'm 60 in June so Johnny and the boys have my utmost respect for helping keep me sane and young at heart.
Best interview of John Lydon I have seen. Glad he appreciates human communication nowadays...... don’t think he did before. The man has family values that I like✌🏼
@@aleksastamenkovic5526 I suppose if I look at it from his side, he was quite often being interviewed by established faces who until then hadn't encountered many if any, people with a deep rooted dislike for pretty much everything. It's likely they pushed buttons to goad a reaction and he delivered. He had nothing to prove, the punk movement didn't care. I never bought into punk wholly but the sound was good, mainly, and it spawned and influenced some excellent bands. I guess Lydon was who he was and to be elevated to a position where your voice and opinions could now be heard by millions was too good an opportunity to throw away. He sounded intelligent enough in those early days to give better answers though, you don't always need to be so anti. Whatever my view, and it's largely unimportant. Punk gave the music industry a kick in the balls as did rock n' roll and each has played a part in music and it's development. I don't think either would have expected the downturn we've endured for the last twenty years though.
I feel the same way about Roger Waters but he has his share of haters. Truth is if you like someone you tend to listen more intently, if not, it's just points of view without strength.
This might be my favorite interview with the man yet. It’s candid, of course and reliably so but there’s something else to it and I suppose it’s just nice to see Lydon this comfortable, like the walls are down. Thanks for posting 🍒🍒🍒

GREAT INTERVIEW. John was very open and the interviewer at times came close with some things she said and would've found john turn if it was years ago or if he was in a bad mood.
the Heaven and Earth programme was a pretty open religious themes programme which I liked a lot . John Lydon here was very thoughtful and got on well with this good interviewer
:) I have really missed out on this man , i should have paid more attention to him earlier. And the LAdy who interviewd him, had really done her Research, werent judging or anything. Well done Sir :)
WOW! John Lydon went through the same experience I did, Born left Handed, Moved home and only school available was a C of E School, Edge of ruler on my left hand until it was so swollen that I had no choice but to use my right hand, told that I was the spawn of the devil every day, and in front of the whole class. How i fucking hated them, it turned me into an anti authoritarian little shit who hated everybody and everything, and had no respect for anybody or their belongings. Took over 20 yrs to realise just how much I was fucking myself up, and did something about it. I'm 70 now and its still a works in progress.
I've only just seen this interview and what a wonderful example of a human being he is. I first became aware of John as spotty 15 year old in a one industry town in the West of Scotland back in 77 and to think how much both of our lives have changed for the better since then is amazing. Also I just wish I had appreciated his exposure of that monster Jimmy Saville on live TV. Good luck John best wishes to Norah I hope she finds peace.and thanks for all the music down the years.
I LOVED this!! I like that YT loads clips that you may be interested in after watching one and I had watched the Sex Pistols and it sent me here, loved it, tyfs! :)
This was great. Johnny Rotten has conservative values! He lives his life being truthful to himself and and isn't afraid to do some self reflection or change his views a bit as he gets older and wiser. This interview is a gem!
It's crazy to think Johnny Rotten has become a lovable elder statesman. And I'm not sure the man even knows how to lie. He seems incredibly forthright.
You've taken me in Johnny Lydon. I've watched a lot of his interviews recently. What a hopeless jerk he was when he was young and famous. But he's turned out ALRIGHT. Really enjoy his honest straight-forward manner. It must be the grandkids' influence.
He always was a decent dude, but the media were always trying to stump him, when someone says anything against the queen, they are usually attacked from all directions, coz the queen is a witch, and a spoilt brat, this interviewer was being respectful, so it made Johnny talk openly without being defensive, thanks for the comment
His autobiography is worth a read. I think he gives some interviewers a hard time because all they ask him about is the Sex Pistols, which was a brief but significant part of his life. This interviewer asked him about other parts of his life and he was very candid.
Thank God John controlled the conversation and didn't let her go down her list of questions more rapidly which she was trying to do in the beginning of the interview.
I hear that he is very lovely & honestly too and he love his german wife Nora so much. I read the book ANGER IS AN ENERGY from John Lydon(Johnny Rotten) and I couldn´t stop reading but it is so good to read.I am finish with reading.It is a very interesting book from him,were he told of his illness,Sid Vicious,Nora,Ari Up and what he all saw and when he started with PIL....all things from his childhood since 2014...I look to this book right now;- Greetings from Germany and excuse my bad english:)))
Ich habe deinen Channel besucht,interessant und ich hoffe es geht dir gut und hast alles gut überstanden(du weisst was ich meine)aber ich habe dir auch schon woanders geschrieben.
What an amazing articulate miss understood man I’ve always been intrigued to find out who the real John Lyndon was this interview in particular shows him as a warm compassionate human being 👌😆🙏
He was part of a phenomenal band, the bollocks was, and still is, in my opinion, one of the best of our generation. Even then , John had a wise , almost "joker" like behavior, Steve was essential, Paul was heroic , and Sid was the iconic poster. The band pushed the boundaries and for that , I push it abit too. Anyway, phenomenal burst . If you can read this Get your own podcast up John .
I remember my teachers telling is there was no future once we left school. Looking back at it now why would anyone take advise from someone who never made it out of the school system.
Well, that's just a ridiculous thing to say. You just, unfortunately, had one lousy, uninspiring teacher that shouldn't have been teaching in the first place. Or became jaded somewhere a long the way and should have retired or found another line of work. But don't put down the rest of the teachers in the world. They are the unsung heros. They teach the future doctors, lawyers, scientists, star athletes, best selling authors and strong world leaders of tomorrow. The list goes on and on.
frauleinmona Fair comment and I’m sorry if I gave the impression I was talking about all teachers. Obviously I wasn’t. Sadly, many of our teachers that year spoke to those of us they thought would move up to the sixth form this way. It was a long time ago and I’d hope todays teachers don’t give this kind of negative advise now. Their personal politics shouldn’t come into their job.
@@MsBonzodog I completely agree with your initial comment very much so. All the teachers I had were knobs n a waste of time. They never leave school n are completely drunk on their own sense of power.
An achievement is STANDING UP FOR THE TRUTH. John Lydon acheived that. Apart from creating a music/fashion genre and a vehicle for exposé regards the corrupt establishment. Credit where it's due. Thanks John. Been with you all the way.
I'm not a Sex pistols fan but I can acknowledge their importance in music. However, the more I listen to John Lydon talk and give his philosophy on life and anything in general I can't help but respect him more and more.
I met John in 1980 in north London, I was only 9 and my mother approched him after I recognised him and he was very polite, shook my hand.

She is facilitating him so well that he is given the chance, for a change, to talk so, and be the honest transparent person he prefers being.

But she's rather humble, and he's really enjoying a decent and fair interview and talking bout real things.

Johnny at his best and most lucid. No silly poses or anything. Just an extremely intelligent man being very candid.
Me: ...love it...!!! Kwelly fine, after- wards!
Usually you get wiser the more u age and probably much more mature
I could listen to Johnny for hours. He makes more sense than anybody I listen to !
My very same sentiments from me❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂
@@HelenWaldron Johnny is real !
Too right. I ain't got no religiousness but St. Johnny does feel appropriate now. Coz I guess Sir Johnny is out of the question!
She really caught him on a good day. He can be a right charmer if in the right mood.

@Jeff Baker Sometimes. He's talking absolute sense here though

The way he talks, the way he thinks, the way he hears and makes music and sings, it's all so unique. There'll never be another John Lydon, more's the pity.
Johns a real down to earth man of the world, and totally honest. I wish more people were like him, maybe the world would be a much better place.
'John's a real clown of dearth man of the curled'
I assume you're being sarcastic. Lydon is very rich. But he likes money a a lot - and has always used controversy to attract attention and make money. Like his stuff on Brexit. The amazing things is that there are mugs who swallow the nonsense that he is "anti-establishment".
Makes him even better in my book, he is a success despite never playing the game and always being 100% honest. Disagree with a lot of what he says but he Is the ONLY popstar, filmstar etc who says it as he means it and risks upsetting people in a world of frauds.
Really agree with you.

There is nothing better than his voice
Family is everything EVERYTHING
Agree, here is my comment: don't know much about him but the fact he took a swipe at communism and steadfastly defends his freedom of speech makes me love him well enough.
Wow, had to edit to say he is an outright genius and the opposite of what i thought when he says he doesn't like single parent families or same sex not because he is a nazi, but because he realizes this is normal in nature and when nature does not conform to itself something goes wrong or as he says "there is something missing."
Yeah, it's called boys don't know how to be men and girls grow up to be too slutty just to simplify things.
One more thing: there are a lot of people who would believe what he does, however they are boring, staid, stodgy conservative types who one feels were brought up that way from birth - this guy is a free spirited liberal sex drugs rock and roll type who naturally and spontaneously arrived at the same truths as the boring traditional types did. How fascinating!
i love listening to John Lydon talk.Very cool guy.
Mee too... I love this guy!
One of the ONLY interviews wheres he's not putting on a 'character', he's natural.
Really nice interview with a completely new angle. She is truly interested in Lydon as a person. Not as an icon. JL is intelligent as hell!
Me: Now... that's a value to recognize and along really appre- ciate at hers...!
Lydon is very happy to talk here full of Irish charm and wit, he is very visibly saddened by not having a child.
So engaging and entertaining listening to Johnny, and he directly mirrors the respect of the interviewer by answering lucidly and straightforwardly.
He’s right 100% traditional family values are that for a reason...confusing a kids upbringing leads to further confusion in later life..great interview

Exactly what I thought. Everything he said in this interview flies in the face of what the mainstream is pushing these days.
Truth is though, the people who need to hear this won't be able to understand because their instincts are completely warped

Is that why we put our left hand over the right when receiving the eucharist...
Great interview!
Loved that interview , very interesting and intelligent man I like him 😊
I've only just seen this interview and what a wonderful example of a human being he is. I first became aware of John as spotty 15 year old in a one industry town in the West of Scotland back in 77 and to think how much both of our lives have changed for the better since then is amazing. Also I just wish I had appreciated his exposure of that monster Jimmy Saville on live TV. Good luck John best wishes to Norah I hope she finds peace.and thanks for all the music down the years.
I like this guy. I always find him very interesting and always makes a lot of sense. I agree with what this guy says.
Great interview, great questions and John Lydon never disappoints.
Excellent share, thank you for this.
most welcome
I LOVED this!! I like that YT loads clips that you may be interested in after watching one and I had watched the Sex Pistols and it sent me here, loved it, tyfs! :)
thanks for watching, I posted this video because it shows Johnny as he really is, for a change, cheers
Great interview which provided " A Perfect Platform For John To Display His Intelligence " !!! From Adrian Browne 1965
I could listen to John all day long
This ladies and gentlemen, is a genius!
Musical talent and intelligence are a great combination
We love you Johnny!!
If Boofhead Johnson had listened to Johnny Britain may not be in the sordid mess it's in today. Great interview.
This was great. Johnny Rotten has conservative values! He lives his life being truthful to himself and and isn't afraid to do some self reflection or change his views a bit as he gets older and wiser. This interview is a gem!
thanks for watching
A legend with integrity.
It's crazy to think Johnny Rotten has become a lovable elder statesman. And I'm not sure the man even knows how to lie. He seems incredibly forthright.
he is a rebel spy and a traitor
Why did tou say that?
Fabulous interviewer too!!
I have alot of respect for him and what he gives to this world.
He is and shall always be a hero to me x
Best interview with John I've seen.
You've taken me in Johnny Lydon. I've watched a lot of his interviews recently. What a hopeless jerk he was when he was young and famous. But he's turned out ALRIGHT. Really enjoy his honest straight-forward manner. It must be the grandkids' influence.
He always was a decent dude, but the media were always trying to stump him, when someone says anything against the queen, they are usually attacked from all directions, coz the queen is a witch, and a spoilt brat, this interviewer was being respectful, so it made Johnny talk openly without being defensive, thanks for the comment
His autobiography is worth a read. I think he gives some interviewers a hard time because all they ask him about is the Sex Pistols, which was a brief but significant part of his life. This interviewer asked him about other parts of his life and he was very candid.
might have been an act, or he couldn't put his views over well when he was young
A very articulate intelligence about Jonny great to watch,
You've got to love John even though he can be a bit abrasive, he is our national treasurer.
He doesn’t believing same sex marriage god lefties wouldn’t like John lydon today.
White Rabbit - He moved out of England as soon as he could and has done nothing but slag it off ever since.
Good interview, she's lovely too
Thank God John controlled the conversation and didn't let her go down her list of questions more rapidly which she was trying to do in the beginning of the interview.
This man is very wise in my opinion. I would love to chat with him. He is the heart of self thought.
I wish I knew this man in real life. He is such a fuckin awesome lad.
I hear that he is very lovely & honestly too and he love his german wife Nora so much.
I read the book ANGER IS AN ENERGY from John Lydon(Johnny Rotten) and I couldn´t stop reading but it is so good to read.I am finish with reading.It is a very interesting book from him,were he told of his illness,Sid Vicious,Nora,Ari Up and what he all saw and when he started with PIL....all things from his childhood since 2014...I look to this book right now;-
Greetings from Germany and excuse my bad english:)))

+Daniela Schwarz komm aus Österreich :) und ja bin noch im Krankenhaus aber alles super :D
dankeschön :)
If one can survive childhood one can survive most anything.
What a legend and one of his best interviews. And then there was Sid, who went down the wrong road. A leason for all.
@The Art Ov Chaos Just one very important point to make, Steve Jones is still alive and playing.
Nancy brought him down. And his mom.
RIP Sid, hello from CZECH REPUBLIC i love j. lydon he is God, 🇬🇧🤪👍🙏🇨🇿
sadly sidney was just doomed poor guy
What an amazing articulate miss understood man I’ve always been intrigued to find out who the real John Lyndon was this interview in particular shows him as a warm compassionate human being 👌😆🙏
Love John. Absolutely adore him really … he says “peace” in the place of “hello”
I like his candid honesty so much
A man with common sense.... Refreshing
I got an original comment. Love this guy :p To be honest what is there not to love. True bromance for this dude. An influence in my "formative" years
Lovely interview xx good on you Johnny and your lovely wife xx
Johnny rotton what a great geezer!!!!
He was part of a phenomenal band, the bollocks was, and still is, in my opinion, one of the best of our generation. Even then , John had a wise , almost "joker" like behavior, Steve was essential, Paul was heroic , and Sid was the iconic poster. The band pushed the boundaries and for that , I push it abit too. Anyway, phenomenal burst . If you can read this Get your own podcast up John .
I remember my teachers telling is there was no future once we left school. Looking back at it now why would anyone take advise from someone who never made it out of the school system.
Well, that's just a ridiculous thing to say. You just, unfortunately, had one lousy, uninspiring teacher that shouldn't have been teaching in the first place. Or became jaded somewhere a long the way and should have retired or found another line of work. But don't put down the rest of the teachers in the world. They are the unsung heros. They teach the future doctors, lawyers, scientists, star athletes, best selling authors and strong world leaders of tomorrow. The list goes on and on.
No future ... For you?
never using this again my future panned out very well thank you. I emigrated and never looked back.
frauleinmona Fair comment and I’m sorry if I gave the impression I was talking about all teachers. Obviously I wasn’t. Sadly, many of our teachers that year spoke to those of us they thought would move up to the sixth form this way. It was a long time ago and I’d hope todays teachers don’t give this kind of negative advise now. Their personal politics shouldn’t come into their job.
@@MsBonzodog I completely agree with your initial comment very much so. All the teachers I had were knobs n a waste of time. They never leave school n are completely drunk on their own sense of power.
An achievement is STANDING UP FOR THE TRUTH. John Lydon acheived that. Apart from creating a music/fashion genre and a vehicle for exposé regards the corrupt establishment.
Credit where it's due.
Thanks John. Been with you all the way.
I'm not a Sex pistols fan but I can acknowledge their importance in music. However, the more I listen to John Lydon talk and give his philosophy on life and anything in general I can't help but respect him more and more.
Wise words from a wise gentleman stay strong stay safe John sending love from UK takecare xxx
Notice how he takes control of the conversation.
Good man, so he should
Rather than having an interviewer who tries to take over the interview? Piss off
She's quite taken with him.
Great Man
he's lovely
What a superb interview
Fukin love this guy, her chest is rather nice too lol
Great interview, dropped the 'shock' approach and was very real.
Honest person!
