John has spoken about how this has happened to him many times in the past because idiots think that was "punk" and sure enough it happened yet again. I was glad that guy got "sorted out" by the crowd.
You know when you get older and people say you don't fight the good fight like you used too? For all those wankers out there that think John sold out. Stand inside his shoes for a minute and find out what a drag it is to fight as hard as he did for all those years. He deserves a bit of a break in his older years. The man is a true gem. Love ya Johnny!
he's never done a thing wrong except take the piss with that maga shit. But he was taking the piss. Its just it got taken the wrong way. And fuck all the butter haters.
I've never understood the "sell out" label for anyone.. Lydon or otherwise.. If you're selling something, and other people are buying. Suddenly you're a sellout. I think the difference comes, if people are buying what you're selling. But you kick the ladder out to stop other people, in a similar situation to Lydon back in the day from coming up and succeeding. But from what I've seen, he has multiple warm up acts, some of which haven't been signed.. So, good on him. Doing it right!
@@rorrt Look it really isn't that hard to work out is it. The Sex Pistols evolved from the Strand and all members were supposedly proud working class. Ever heard "Anarchy in the UK" and you wonder why people react to him doing fucking butter adverts and claiming he loves the queen, loves Donald Trump. I'd actually argue he was always fake, the band we're fake but if you can't understand why he's disliked by a heck of a lot of people then i'm afraid i can't make it simpler for you....
That’s one tough guy! I want him on my side in a battle. That was a hard hit and he not only took it, he continued to entertain his fans when things calmed down!

@@jon780249 And also classy enough to tell a woman interviewer to "shut up, shut up, shut up!" on national television in Australia. Very classy indeed.
Credit to John Lydon there. 👏 I've seen concerts where performers act like brats and walk off or threaten to for stupid shit and I wouldn't have blamed him one bit if he walked out on that show, but he carried on.
I remember a story about Geddy Lee getting a bottle in the head at a gig once, the band stopped playing, they brought the house lights up, and announced the show was over. it is a shame to do that to the other 99.99% of the fans, but you just can't put up with that crap. This guy took an awful shot from that bottle, lucky he didn't get glass in his eyes.
When great bands make it to senior citizen status, it is best to respect them for staying with us and entertaining us while they can, and RIP to those artists who bailed on us.CHEERS where ever you are!!! Sid V.
I was at a gig twenty odd years ago when someone done that and John and the band dived into the audience to get him. Obvs those days are gone, lolz, that was about 50 pounds ago.
@Muskeln-kaufen.de You're right there are no people on the internet is who existed or did anything or went anywhere before 2009 Jesus kid have some imagination about you I was at Punk gigs in the 80s seeing anti nowhere league the UK subs & hundreds of other bands.
This is not the first time, I remember during the pistols tour in South America a guy threw a whiskey bottle at him and it was about to miss him he saw it and head butted it like a maniac, and told the crowd to give him a drink and put a towel on his head and continued the show
That is SAVAGE. Even if I'd had seventeen pints and forgotten what my own name was, I'd still remember that John is the last person to direct anger towards.
ThIs reminds me of when Billy Connolly got smacked in the face by a smoker's pipe, thrown by a member of the audience during his support gig for Elton John in America . Idiotic behaviour . I hope that guy who hit John Lydon was arrested and charged .
@@slimhxcchance86 You saying that shows you don't know shit about real punk. The reason Lydon said that is BECAUSE it pissed people off. Thats what he always does, to leave an impression. Its pretty fucking obvious cuz he can't even vote for Trump, He only said he would cuz it would piss people like you off!
I can remember reading a review of a Sex Pistols gig many years ago at which the audience were throwing lot of bottles at the stage and Johnny Rotten (as he was then) was goading them, saying, "You're not throwing enough bottles". Ironic. But it doesn't make it right.
If the context has to do with cooperation, dependability, and the show business attitude of “the show must go on,” then trouper is the word to use. [Oxford Dictionary] Run along, grammar school boy!
Ahhh you learn something knew everyday. Thanks for that. I honestly thought it was referring to a brave soldier. Strangely enough I'm a bit of a grammar fascist myself, so I can understand your rage when you see a typo.
Lol, my response could have been a little less tart, I admit, so I apologize to the original poster but, yes, like you, I can be a bit of a nazi and certainly become impatient when I'm incorrectly corrected. I'm also a bit neurotic about language degrading, though I'm much more accepting these days that it's a dynamic process and it can be entirely legitimate for a vulgate to take precedence over the formal term (thus, "dammit" is not only considered correct now, it is consider the preferred version in a context where the phrase is vocalized). Re trouper vs trooper, in theory the latter could apply to a brave soldier, but that's very rarely used, and the origin of the term is unambiguously rooted in the theater, thus "trouper".
Some quotes from John Lydon so that you can see that he is the more dangerous person for turning an entire crowd on to one person who was only adhering to Lydon's own proclaimed views: 'I like crazy people, especially those who don't see the risk'. 'Sometimes the most positive thing you can be in a boring society is absolutely negative'. 'It's no good being nice and young and naive'. 'I love discordancy. It makes people ill at ease and wakes up a part of their brain that's normally asleep'. 'Don't accept the old order. Get rid of it'.
That’s fuckin Johnny Rotten. He took that glass to the face like a fuckin G. When he started bleeding and grinned menacingly into the crowd the guy was prob like 👀👀👀.
