Putting it like that, they were similar. All very well said in hindsight, but even hindsight is coloured rosy. Both bands have an influence far beyond their time, only Nirvana can't do nostalgia tours.
He talks the same way about Sid and detests Sid’s mom for her role in his drug abuse. He seems to have a lot of remorse as well for introducing him to Nancy and deepening his addiction. I think he realizes Sid was a disaster.
Not really a comparison. Maybe if they stayed more in the bleach, incestide era. But since he topped himself. Not really a question. Now is it. I have grown to live johnny Rotten. Like Bubba Zen said in the comments. More the person than musically.
@Albert_Br We're both confused I think, as that was my initial point. I'm not judging John, just highlighting the fact that it's a meaningful and sensitive topic for him. Huge fan of John, the Pistols and PIL myself so no judgement. In hindsight, my first comment could've been worded clearer. 🙂

Kurt didn't "top himself." He was murdered, and Nirvana wasn't a recreational mindless drug band, as he is paining it as. Johnny Rotten has always been an Establishment puppet.
Well, but, I Guess Sid was not a member of the Sex Pistols then. Put that another way, JL considers himself to be the Sex pistols and the rest were just hired help. I mean, I wasn't there but... 🎉
@@patrickhankin2938 well, you could split hairs at that point, since dope is a one way train ticket. But JL speaks not only about topping off but about fobbing off with the dirty, druggie rock and roll culture. Pick your poison, pun intended.

Nirvana had a good following in the underground before being signed to a major record label with there first album “bleach” being released on an independent label. The only reason their fame was even possible was because a host decided to play nevermind on a college radio & even then it garnered popularity only AFTER they were signed with their new major label DCG.

Say what you want about Kurt or even the music; & yes most of there fame was garnered through luck & context; but it’s just untrue to say they where manufactured or industry plants

Didn't care for the guy back when he came out but love him now. Just as a person more than musically
Love Johnny ❤
100% correct
Thank you John. Your a blessing.

Wise words.
Right ✅️
Not an agreeable guy but listen, Johnny's wise.
Sid?
If ya saw Jonny today, you'd see that he never stopped forgiving himself
Yes. That’s why he said what he said.
re:"Sid" and thats his whole point. Thats what he's talking about.
@@Albert_Brwhich makes for a similarity
He likes Status Quo :)
He is also a fan of Pink Floyd, personally I prefer PIL far superior to the Sex Pistols.
Americans give the impact of grunge similar to that the Brits did a generation before...
So Sid Vicious was a guiding light, was he Johnny?
He talks the same way about Sid and detests Sid’s mom for her role in his drug abuse. He seems to have a lot of remorse as well for introducing him to Nancy and deepening his addiction. I think he realizes Sid was a disaster.
He said that because he was Sids pal many blame her for Sids demise.. There are too many similarities between Sid and Nancy and Kurt and Courtney.

Rocknroll is by dar best commercial n propaganda for druga
Refreshing to hear something like this especially coming from a wild k is like Johnny
That's not Iggy Pop that's Johnny Rotten. Iggy Pop is American not British.
Oh my bad I didn't realize I was reading the title for the next short 🤦
why?
Thats coming from a man who lost his best mate to brown
And thats why he left that band and moved on.
@@Albert_Br Don't blame him either
@@c_holding8564 Doh your confused. I not blame Sid or John Lydon . I say thats why John wants to avoid druggy bands.

pretty much hkw I felt when it happened.
Topped himself. Haha. That's a new one to me
Common England lingo, ..for suicide
I thought he was murdered by his wife
Topped himself 😂
No thats not true.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day 🤷♂️
Whist he drinks and smokes 😂 yes folks thats drugs and addiction to!
You forgot food, he must be pushing 20 stone easily.

Let's not forget that one of the Pistols merc'd his girlfriend them OD'd himself into the grave
And that he introduced them
Which is why he could make the statement.
@@richardlincourt2519 and proof he is not punk but plant .
That’s exactly why he made the statement.
Grow up. And thats why he left that band and moved on. What he talks is true.
John is a clown.
And you just revealed how little you know.😂

I wasn’t aware Sid Vicious “topped himself”. I thought he died of a drug overdose. Not suicide.

The Sex Pistols were literally a boy band assembled by a record label. Fake as fuck, and not punk.

He's correct they was manufactured yak !

You can't watch lydon sing and see any insincerity. How he met his band mates is not who they were.
But it soumds killer.
Not very understanding view from Johnny on mental health. Coming from someone who's a total sop.
