He was considered such a bad influence on children back in the 70s and yet at the tender age of 21 he was the only one brave enough to speak out against Jimmy Saville. Well done sir.

Johny Rotten was an internet comment section before there was one.

I love how he yelled at Judge Judy and she just calmly spoke to him and he apologized.

he apologised to judge judy because she just treated him normally

“Oh sorry, rude word.” Love that

"You're just a pile of confusion" this is my new favourite insult from now on.

The fact this man is still alive is insane.

Johnny rotten vs. every one sounds like a good name for a album

Dad once shook this guy's hand while working as a cameraman. He told him he'd always wanted to shake his hand, to which Johnny replied 'really? It's over-rated'

I love how Judy and Rotten quickly came to a compromise -- like they just GOT each other.

“Courtney love Kurt’s money” Legend 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

"oh sorry....RUDE word" *rolls eyes*

Judge Judy and johnny rotten. What more could you ask for.

What class! He totally apologized to Judge Judy for being rude. That says a lot.

He wanted to kill saville He deserves a beer

"Yeah sure, let's invite Johnny Rotten to a guest spot on the Roxanne show!" - said the producer with no idea the real weight and gravity of who Johnny is or the situation that would cause.

“What was the rude word?” “Cunt.” “Good heavens, was it really?” So intensely british.

Maybe some will disagree with me, but I think some interviewers try to get a reaction out of him because they know of the Pistols' provocative reputation and want to get a clip of him getting angry. He's actually fairly calm in a lot of interviews.

Johnny got banned from the BBC for ousting Saville way back when! He’s a hero ✊

Clearly an intelligent man that see through peoples bull shit and stands his ground. Hat off to you sir 👏

“Rock and roll will never die, but you fucks will” ~ John Lydon

Some guy: "What can you offer a 16 yo Green Day fan?" Mr. Rotten: "Big willy"

“Everything half eaten I see rosanne’s been here” one of Johnny’s best lines 💀💀

I love Johnny Rotten because you can see that deep down he is a decent guy he is just obviously so sick and unimpressed with people sacrificing their individuality and soul for the sake of a increasingly cosmetic industry. He's just straight up tired of people treating him like an infamous commodity to further their own careers rather than a real person....

Johnny vs everyone else: "YoUrE A cOnTrAdIcTiOn, I cAn SaY wHaTeVeR TF i WaNt" Johnny vs Judge Judy: *Sorry Ma'am I apologise*

Here's a man who truly does not give a shit.

I hated the sex pistol’s as a kid . But I understand it now , John was , and still is, ahead of his time of his time , and he’s still worth listening to . Need more like him , especially in these times .

I love how he can sit entirely comfortably in the most piecing awkward silences

“You’re a fraud, and I’m underwhelmed” *smokes cig

"You're a fraud and I'm underwhelmed." Best line.

I love Johnny Rotten’s ability to be so forward and blunt

"Courtney Love Kurt's money" - Shakespeare

I met this guy. I worked at his house to get rid of his termites. He was the chillest dude ever, drank a 12 pack of red stripes and smoked a whole pack of Marlboro reds while I was there. He was just chilling and vibing talking to us the whole time.

I loved that Judge Judy episode. Saw it on tv years ago. Was just a fluke that i caught it. You can tell Johnny and Judy had a mutual bemused appreciation and respect for each other.

i love how he says everything in monotone voice and simply doesn't care i love it

Honestly, I could listen to Johnny talk for hours!! Watched documentaries with him and he always speaks intelligently, has great humor & calls BS people out immediately. Love him!!

"We never said we didn't like money."-Johnny Rotten

I hope he's doing okay. It seems like he's going through a rough time at the moment with his wife suffering from dementia. I love John ♥️

"What can you offer a 16-year-old Green Day fan that Green Day can't?" 'Big Willy'.

This guy seems really down to earth actually, he just calls everyone on their BS.

“Look everything half eaten - I see Rosanne’s been here”

he's not only an intelligent musician and human being, he's also brilliant in the communication part, like look at his eye games

I love how he has no stop button and interrupts constantly speaking whatever is on his mind. Classic unfiltered Johnny

Lines to use in life that he said are 'You're just a pile of confusion' and 'cheapskate comedy interrogation act'...brilliant ahahhah

If John Lyndon was taken seriously on what he said about Jimmy Saville years ago then that disgrace of a human being would have been investigated sooner and suffered what he deserved to suffer rather than getting away with everything and taking it to his grave. Those who knew what he was up to and too scared to say anything to risk their reputations should be thoroughly ashamed and deserve their laden of guilt.

'Your just a pile of confusion' What a great line. John Lydon, a true gent.

The main problem people have with John is that he is brutality honest and doesn't care about your feelings.

This guy's great. Saying it would be a privilege to meet him in person would be an understatement.

He's actually a really nice man and very intelligent.

Johnny Rotten -vs- Judge Judy Result = Draw.

Wow that exchange with Judge Judy. Immediately apologizes when he knows he's wrong, that's a real man

I love how brutally honest he is. No guessing, he just puts it out there.

and that's why he's the king of punk

"You're a fraud...and I'm underwhelmed"😂😂😂

Johnny was awesome. There was no BS - he gave his answers directly and truthfully. No one could accept IT AND THEY CANT HANDLE THE TRUTH.

Johnny is probably one of the freest human beings on the planet. He doesn’t conform to others rules or conventions. He’s like the last human being in “invasion of the body snatchers”. I never particularly liked him, but greatly admired the fact that he is always true to himself, he’s never been afraid to call bullshit out, always has from a young age. Good for him.

I loved the Judge Judy clip. Both him and her are people who represent two different sides of the same coin yet at the same time are both equally as brash, loud mouthed, and quick tempered so they both just kinda understood each other in a way and found a compromise immediately without it turning into a giant argument.

He made Lazy Town what it is today, god bless

Lol love the shared civility between him and Judge Judy)))

I will always have respect for the man, he says what he thinks, doesn't sugar coat, doesn't apologize for it, means what he says, is as blunt as a cudgel and doesn't care what anyone thinks about him.

Such savage insults and brutal honesty. Love his intense eye contact

I have forever been in love with John Lydon's genuine, forthright heart and personality. LOVE HIM!!!

That last bit, where he's calling out Courtney, Ozzy and Axle!!! Hahaha epic I can't believe how respectful that banter was from Judge Judy. Very cool.

Johnny is a fucking legend

You can't fault him for being against harassing paparazzi and Jimmy Saville. Paparazzi don't know when to keep out and neither did Saville.

He was just honest and quick to speak truthfully without filter.

I wish people were as real as him. Huge respect.

- "I havn't been disrespectable have I?" - "No you havn't ... Apologies."

1:29 I almost pissed myself laughing!

Sorry to hear about Johnny's wife, god bless .

I'm from a very tiny Appalachian town in Alabama, born in the '60's, so we never got interesting or different music on the radio around here. I'll never forget when my best friend introduced me to her elementary school best friend who had just returned stateside from her daddy being in the Army, stationed in Germany...when she made a cassette copy of Nevermind the Bollocks. My life changed. I am grateful to Mr. Lydon for being the sole motivating factor for me to learn as much about and hear as much music as possible the rest of my life! It helped a lot when I finally moved away from the small town to Atlanta...

I love his snarkiness, its hysterical 😂😂😂

I love Johnny Rotten. The only person who could make him back down was Judge Judy. LOL !!!!

I love Johnny. Love what he said about Courtney and AxHole 🤣✊

He’s so able to see through people and its brilliant

Holy shit he was on point with the Jimmy Saville comments

He's something in this world you can always count on to never change.

Johnny Rotten reminds me of a real life DROP DEAD FRED LMAO

Somehow him saying that he was simply underwhelmed was the most hurtful comment on the whole video.

He's right about Courtney 5:10

Here’s a guy that should, at times, have bitten his bottom lip. Not because he was wrong, but because he was pretty much right; his antiestablishment behaviour is what made most people switch off and not take him seriously; because of that they thought of him as an idiot. Read deep and you’ll uncover a very intelligent man. All power to you Johnny. A man who was/is way ahead of his time.

Love you ! Thank you

TV Hosts and Interviewers love him. He gives them something to talk about and he knows it.

Johnny rotten is an inspiration to rebels of all ages

Love this man! He’s a national treasure! He was right when he sang” your future dream’s a shopping scheme “.

He was the best in the Flip “sorry” skateboard movie doing the skateboarders introductions. Still my favourite skate video to this day

Love the way he answer everyone 🤣👍

5:07 The question everyone asked the grunge generation.

2:25 that's actually pretty sweet.

His honesty is out of the universe 🌌

Couldn’t be more right about axel rose! Long Live Johnny Rotten!!!

Lyndon and Mustaine should have a beer together.

You have to love Johnny. "What are you (Courtney Love) rebelling against? You're just a pile of confusion!" .... "Courtney Love Kurt's Money" Lmao

I'll always have this guys back.

I’m reading his autobiography at the moment he’s a deeply intelligent man. Talks a lot of sense

“You’re a fraud, and I’m underwhelmed” never have these words been more cutting

Johnny: "They're wonderful people..." Inteviewer: "Are they?" Johnny: "Oh yes, they really turn us on." 😂😂😂

I love the way Steve just pretends he's not there and Siouxsie just shakes her head after Bill called Johnny out

Good old Johnny ! Bang on as usual

*Courtney Love* Kurt’s money
