he does seem that way to me

Decent bloke then.

lizzy way yes but he's a fenian Cnut

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. :)

You often find smoothies in suits are heartless, growlers in rags are something else, light/shadows, yin yang .

totally agree

@@leedsboy64 John Lydon actually talks a lot of sense. Yes, he's loud and brash, but he's also intelligent and he knows what he's talking about. Try listening to one of his interviews before you condemn him.

@@CB-xr1eg I have been a fan of his for over 40 years and i love most of his music and his live performances also his books None of this changes the fact that he is mostly arrogant and predictable these days

@@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.

@@CB-xr1eg you make some fair points i have gradually changed my mind about JL over a number of years An interesting one was at the time of The Sex Pistols biopic shown on Disney recently Steve and Paul said they invited him to be involved but he declined I choose to believe there version of events I am aware he was caring for his sick wife at the time however he still found time to appear on morning tv to call them filthy liars

wot a fahkin rotta

What was that? Nothing, nothing, a rude word.........Next question?

Ok

bodies

@@flloydblack1589 Agree.

No Feelings is my favourite

'Seventeen' was always a bit of a stinker.

@@flloydblack1589 why is bodies bad?

Pete Marr hahahah....you hit on the head! I mean just look at the "American " movie stars. Who are they now? 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.

+Pete Marr Well they all live in LA. Just as Morrissey lives in LA, too. How many other Brits, when they make it, move to LA? Can you blame them for leaving that freezing island where you catch a cold every winter from the damp that just won't go away, the endless rain, and horrible food. You cannot find something spicy to eat ANYWHERE in the UK. It doesn't matter if its Indian, or whatever, you cannot get spicy food there. Buffalo Wings to them are chicken wings with catsup on them.

The Americans look so healthy eh ;) Dont even start me on the bad points about your country, I havent got the time to type so much ;)

+Pete Marr Aye... minus the Royals.

+Pete Marr The USA is not the land of the free any longer. I'm 55yo and about to get out!!

He's no more evil than anybody else, the evil people are the bank owners, the peados, Epsiteins and Clintons alike. He's a normal kid from London who had issues with the world and used words to make society look at themselves and realise how brainwashed everyone was becoming

You had a bed time at 15, dude? 😂

@@Indiee182 Hell, I wish I did. You need all the sleep you can get at that age.

Not really. Nobody stands watching a movie

I think it might be a reference to Fawlty Towers.

That's it! Brilliant! Thanks for making sense of the joke.

You're welcome.

Ye Basil Fawlty and eventually get pissed off and does it himself.

Jeff Baker where’s Sy bill

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.

+lizzy way she was involved no two ways about it....

@@AndrewSmith-oc9zt What? Are people saying Esther Rantzen is a paedo now??

Amerika's been in a perpetual Depression since 1929, interrupted only by its constant warmongering and meddling in the affairs of other countries.

So right,Johnny and Steve are lovely.I read Johnny´s book:John Lydon "Anger Is An Energy" and his book is amazing.He is so brutally honest but lovely&funny too :-))

Not exactly anti establishment to say there is hope for america yet

I wouldn't know. We're not all posh twats with massive 100-inch 4K or better hologram-driven TVs, so I don't see what the complaint is.

wow interesting as I jsut compared him to Shakespear who wrote that bookk

Hi 10 years later :)

Checkout his radio work on "Jonsey's Jukebox". There are videos on here, as well. Good stuff!

Yep check out Jonesey's Jukebox - he has some great guests and great convos. One with Brian May from Queen comes to mind.

Thats the spirit of Punk...

I really believe he's got a heart of gold, but there's that rebel punk image to uphold.

Was just thinking about it as I watched this. So sad that it's come to this...they really could have been friends, helped each other out over the years, seeing as how they've both been living in So. Cal. Just read both their autobiographies. Two great people who had so much in common but can't see past their differences.
