i met john lydon on a flight back from LA to London. He is a performer. That is why he is in the business. He is actually a nice bloke. No bullshit. Only person on a whole flight that offered me a hand getting my bag as i am disabled - he was a decent bloke, respectful and kind. He is very well spoken and likes a laugh. He had no reason to be nice or polite he was just a decent bloke. End of.

Sometimes in real life, the so called "nice guys" are really not the nicest. Sometimes the guys who play the meanest, and most intimidating people are really nice. Point is, don't judge a book by its cover. If you can find it, The Filth and The Fury (2000) is a Documentary film, has John Lydon, speaking from his heart, emotionally, explaining that he wish he could have stopped Sid from his ultimate self destruction and demise. Here you have a true friend speaking compassionately about the guilt he feels that he let Sid down. Very touching. There are also a wonderful shot of when the Sex Pistols hosted a Christmas Party for underprivileged children, and the smiles that they brought to these wonderful kids, by handing out presents and cake. Guess who else was smiling, but the bigger kids, The Sex Pistols. So yes, cover blown, the Sex Pistols, and John Lydon are nice guys. :)

@@leedsboy64 But that's not what the op is talking about. he said that Lydon had been talking shit to Jones for 45 years. Which is a gross exaggeration as he was 50 when this was aired so he hadn't known Jones for 45 years. And as I said, Lydon is intelligent and talks a lot of sense. Also you said "these days"...the video was posted 15 years ago and the interview was a few years prior to that.

Bale (English) as Batman ( yeah I know Ben is taking it over but indulge me) Cavill (Brit) as Superman, Garfield as Spider-Man ( Does he count cause he is Half American half Brit?) Fassbender (Irish) Magneto, McAvoy (Scot) as Prof X, Jackman (Aussie) Wolverine ,and the go to action star nowadays is Statham. Now don't get me wrong I have NOTHING against any of these actors but America is kinda running out of the Male movie star.

Not sure why so many are hating on Lydon, I put it down to jealousy, and remember BBC banned Johnny Rotten in 1978 for telling the truth about Jimmy Savile, which puts him a cut above the complete wankers who are slagging him off as if anyone value the opinion of an idiot in the first place.
@71kernow7 жыл бұрын
im not sure on the hating. one thing that will puzzle until THE COMPLETE TRUTH IS OUT, ifpeople in show business were aware or had felt strange around Saville et al, HOW COULD OF ESTHER RANTZEN (no relative of mine) NOT OF KNOWN AT THE VERY LEAST A RUMOUR??? She was during my youth spinning 'an off the wall' type programme that would of had researchers etc - abit late to be on National TV crying - was she crying for the children or crying for herself to keep her name out of it. We pay a TV License each year - i would like to see the whole line up under scrutinity, except for those who have been on TV and welcomed the Polce in. End of.

Love the Sex Pistols! Was very lucky to see them back in 2008 at Hammersmith. They were on top form and on fire! What a performance! I had the great pleasure of meeting John last year, I was a bit nervous approaching him, as they say that you shouldn't meet your heroes and my heart was racing LOL! But he was lovely. Dream come true for me as I always wanted to meet him. I wanted to say a lot more to him but was too starstruck! Plus I have the most insane crush on him so that made it a bit tricky LOL! It's such a shame that they've fallen out over the TV drama. There'll never be a band like them. Luckily John has PIL who I love equally as much as the Pistols. ❤❤❤❤
