I love John Lydon, he's one of very few "celebrities" I care to pay attention to. I'm glad he's staying busy as ever with the new PiL album and tour. I can't wait to see them come to the States.

Lydon looks cool with the slicked back hair.

Got to respect John's brutal honesty. What the world today seriously lacks. It shows

“This business only likes the pale shadows. It doesn’t like the real thing.” Damn, that’s deep.

I could listen to him talk all day 😍

John is one of a kind. Unique. It is a shame, hope in this world would be more as honest people as he is. True diamond.

He's spot on about journalists getting everything for free and not really appreciating it.

If only John had kept this look going forward, he looks very stylish.

A good interviewer in my personal opinion. She kept up

You can never argue with honest people!!!! Superb interview

As an Irish man, an observant Irish man, I can´t help admiring John.

Best interview I've seen with John - Good interviewer as well.

I'll never stop being fascinated by John's psychology, how he somehow learned early on that attack was the best form of defence, the fight or flight tactic of constant negativity and criticism of others. And you can't help but feel there's the mental burden of denouncing others for being fake when of course 'Johnny Rotten' is a fake character. Utterly fascinating guy that has produced some of the best British music of all time. Thanks Scottish TeeVee for all of these videos.

Excellent interview

Great interview. Johnny usually is sarcastic and jokes around in his interviews, but he's actually pretty serious here.

John Lydon, a really great singer, and intelligent and downright funniest people you could enjoy and evening with. If he hadn't become a " singer, certainly comedian would have been his next calling as he's definitely an "entertainer' with too much charisma for a 9- 5 job! John Lydon foes down as one of my heroes, and I'm not just saying music, but period. I absolutely love the guy, and sure if I had lived in England instead of America we've probably been good friends, or me an unpaid rhodie anyway. lol! Thanks for the music and the laughs my friend. You certainly took a dull and uninteresting world, and made it interesting!

Quite a handsome chap in his youth

Wow! Brutal honesty. Refreshing!

Man speaks so much sense!

Loved your interview, nice repoir there! Johnny will always say it how it is, and what a cheeky smile he has ! Love him🎶🎸💋

Haven't seen him look this great since the Sex Pistols.

The more i listen to John, the more i think he's relevant. Just finished reading Anger is an energy, & similar to Dave Grohl, he has a very big heart & loves nature & ( some) people.

I like this interview. Good questions and lots of honesty. I like knowing how it really was.

Another one I remember, I have this on VHS somewhere, the Scottish Sex Pistols played holidays at the start of this with the press rushing in thinking it was the real thing, another gem unearthed thanks for that.

Harsh words John... dare say he’d agree this interview wasn’t his proudest moment. Sid was a huge part of the bands image.

I am in love with this man. He's the whole package.

It's interesting. A person at work told me that she hated Rotten and the Pistols but she loves punk music. And I said to her that if it wasn't for Rotten and the Pistols there would be no punk music. And it's true. There would have been no Green Day, Nirvana, no SLF, none of them would have existed. Music probably still would not have progressed.

My God he looks great here.

He looks really slick here.

That raw bastard. could've never lied for a second!

clever guy.

The finest Rotten interview. Composed, clear. He defines the Punk Movement very clearly.

Great interview.

I absolutely love Johnny! He is a highly intelligent, fascinating, amazing man with a heart of gold and so handsome! The only famous person I have respect for❤❤❤❤

Great interview ! John Lydon on top of his game !

One thing about John he is as honest as the day is long a man of principles

Highly intelligent, amazing man

John Lydon sure changed his tune in 99 regarding Sid's death.

The fact that he was so fucking good looking makes his absolute intelligence and sense of self more beguiling. Especially when you were fed the tripe that he was a dirty stupid disruptive, dangerous piece of trash. He was actually quite the package; quite a realized human at that time. At the right place at the right time. I am honored I came of age during their message. Even being American, at 14 then, thank the Universe this was part of my influence. I am a better person for it. Thank you John!!!

he looks handsome with his hair slicked back

I really enjoyed Physcopath! Great interview open and honest!

I was 16 when I bought the album 9 , I loved it , it was different

this was my favorite time of PiL, which was basically the McGeoch years.

Ive never seen him more composed or friendly. While still managing to say some terrible things. haha

Nice one Mate! never seen this one before...

Your spot on about life John especially government and money 👍👍👍

He’s a very intelligent guy with a great sense of humor

Love him. Not easy to be that frank.

John Lydon one of two muscicans and human beings i respect. Lemmy Kilmister is the other one. Public Image Limited are one of the most talented and unique bands with the creative genius and vision of John Lydon. John THE TRUTH Lydon that is why i respect him for his total honesty and no nonsense straight talking.

14:35 - John massively regretted not having kids in the end.

I have a lot of respect for Johnny, he is very bright and insightful. Funny now he's now a grandfather and loves it. I share his sentiments about the "royal family", spot on there Johnny! I liked all his music, don;t know why he hates Seattle, as I am from there, though i am sure he has his reasons, and I like the song!

John Lydon ♥️🇬🇧 P.I.L

Genius creative...but pure artist...he wants people to question things. Just to think and take good action

So Sid Vicious was the Andrew Ridgley of the Sex Pistols? interesting video.

First time I've ever seen him looking like a normal human being 😂😂😂

johnny, JUST another unique eternal light shining

Exactly. If everything was free, there'd be really no value or appreciation whereas if you buy something, it has value which leads to appreciation.

I've only recently heard of the existence of the sex pistols, I absolutely love the honesty of John lydon its a breath of fresh air

Great interview 👍

The bold johnny always sharp as a razor.

👑

always liked John Lydon for his honesty i have had my own woes for being truthful !

Spot on about the Royal Family.

Words still true today 2022

With the hairdo like this, it's John Rourke Lydon.)))

Johnny was ahead of the time's and very wise, he was and is a very smart person always have I admired him ❤️

He's definitely changed his mind about having no regrets about Sid''s death.

Firstly I should say that I am a massive fan of John and he's one of my favourite people in the industry plus I was born, raised and still live two streets away from the estate he grew up in and I was born on the same day (thirty years later but still 31st Jan)... So I am certainly not attacking him but as great as PiL were/are it would not be right for MTV or any mainstream platform to play their music. There is music that finds you and there is music you have to find. Both have a purpose. To be honest I am responding to the video in context because everything I wrote is redundant in today's world and the way most people access music.

LEGEND.

14:50 "You better not, my wife is sitting next you." And then he makes that crazy face lol

i fully get what he means about growing up working class, we're the backbone of Britain!

“IF I want to be arrogant about it…” That would be out of character, right?🤣🤣🤣

Lydon looks like an insurance salesman here.

Okay I've been watching his interviews today starting with 1977 when pil started and then I made it to 87, and in that interview he was still annoyed at the idea of even talking about the Sex Pistols. Then I go to this interview five years later and he's all about the Sex Pistols. Talking about them getting ready to get back together with them. So somewhere between 87 and 92 is this Missing Link I'm looking for where he changed his tune completely

He has a Chris Packham look going on here ...

John...I like you

"Primitive gutter people".... I like that. Treat the fans fair.

Immenso.

Apart from when he was in the Pistols I think this is the best his hair has ever looked. He has had some bad hair do's in later years.

Respect 👍

I love this guy. I don't think he would like me... But then that's what I like about him! 🤔🇬🇧

02:23 What a fascinating analogy!

He could see the media for what they were even back then, and their far worse now

Poverty, lack of money, desperation bad governments, nobody's capable of doing anything about it ..your a slave to the system he is a realist love it so right

Lydon contradicts himself in every interview

'''...but if we do, that would be all for the right reasons...' - there you go, 100% honesty as always, despite the sardonic smile conveying that remark about other members of the band's 'lesser 'thought'' contribution. The right reasons behind what would generate the Filthy Lucre tour in 4 years time? Everyone wanted to have a laugh and being able to say ''I saw the Pistols''. Being cruel to be kind is just another branch of honesty , just like being preemptively cautious with words, when you do have a mastermind.

The main man!

They only like the pale shadows not the real thing......yep, authenticity in pop music is rare

Eloquent always

This interview looks👀 way older than 1992. It still seems to have that 8mm quality

I see a cool young punk David Lynch☝️

Sid was apparently a really good singer. I'd say he was equally as talented if not more so than John.

👍👍👍👍🇮🇪All true We need him in goverment. Things that matter Poverty. Unfairness Right right right. 👌👍👍👍👍

I'm looking for the one he did on the McCanns.?

We didn’t get airplay because we’re working class…. No Johnny that’s not why mate 😂😂😂

He never looked better frankly

Fuck I think I'm love with him

around 3.30 he's definitely right. And it was yet 1992. Almost 30 years have passed... now that remark has outgrown the legend, except for those who never got it ( the utter sociocultural importance of Punk, not as a business but as a residue of indignation and resilience against ''the state of things'' or ''the public thing''). He's done his bit alright.
