JOHNNY LYDON RARE INTERVIEW (BBC HEAVEN AND EARTH SHOW) 2/10/2005

I met John in 1980 in north London, I was only 9 and my mother approched him after I recognised him and he was very polite, shook my hand.

I had just posted on another video, jonny has always been brutally honest and extremely insightful it's just that jonny rotten always said everything with such a heavy dose of sarcasm that people just thought he was being a Provocature I was so blown away and happy to see him on the masked singer HAVING A BLAST !!!

She is facilitating him so well that he is given the chance, for a change, to talk so, and be the honest transparent person he prefers being. As he says in the interview, if given stick, he gives more stick back. But she's rather humble, and he's really enjoying a decent and fair interview and talking bout real things. It's one of the best I've seen.

[@deejannemeiurffnicht1791]

It was naff woolley headed upper middle class hypocritical that's he hates. He actually is quoted I a other interview saying "if it weren't for Hawkwind, there might never have been a Sex Pistols" so go figure. Also, on here there's a video of Steve showing Pistols guitar chords and in a few you're hearing early 70s Hawkwind almost. And Johnny thundersy type things.

no one says that every new form of music that comes into business, every fashion, whether it's punk, rock or anything, always follows the Masonic lobby guidelines, which every year turn out new fashions, new groups, to convince the masses to be against the current system ..... then there are the characters like John Lydon, who probably really believe in their art, but in reality they are doing, consciously or not, what Freemasonry wants: to go against every Christian teaching to keep people away from Jesus ... I remind everyone that the Masons hate Jesus and worship Lucifer ... it seems like a fantasy, but it is reality!

[@idnintel]

Agree, here is my comment: don't know much about him but the fact he took a swipe at communism and steadfastly defends his freedom of speech makes me love him well enough. Wow, had to edit to say he is an outright genius and the opposite of what i thought when he says he doesn't like single parent families or same sex not because he is a nazi, but because he realizes this is normal in nature and when nature does not conform to itself something goes wrong or as he says "there is something missing." Yeah, it's called boys don't know how to be men and girls grow up to be too slutty just to simplify things. One more thing: there are a lot of people who would believe what he does, however they are boring, staid, stodgy conservative types who one feels were brought up that way from birth - this guy is a free spirited liberal sex drugs rock and roll type who naturally and spontaneously arrived at the same truths as the boring traditional types did. How fascinating!

Makes him even better in my book, he is a success despite never playing the game and always being 100% honest. Disagree with a lot of what he says but he Is the ONLY popstar, filmstar etc who says it as he means it and risks upsetting people in a world of frauds.

[@giroudsbrother9450]

@@dickycharger7118 I think John is right about the labels "Traditional" and "Modern" - they only serve to pit us against each other as if it's one or the other. I think there's a way for "Traditional" values to slowly "Modernise" but we are still learning as a society to listen and communicate ideas without going to war with each other about them.

[@startmakingsense2071]

His stament about kids needing a normal traditional family of a married mother and father who are Woman- an adult human female and a Man- an adult human male and not some extreme leftist fantasy as to what makes a family is 100% correct. Also he is correct when he says we all have different abilities and aptitudes we are not all equal some are destined for the stars others are not and that is a fact of life

[@cmac6535]

so did Sid Vicious come from a traditional family? what about Charles Manson? is that traditional? or that don't count? Or fuking Hitler for that matter. There is no formula to life, life just IS. saying there is, is fuking dumb af. what he did there is shit on all the years of "equality" bs he always talks about. He is pandering to his interviewer as he seems to do in most interviews in his late life to sell his fucking books... good for him... Fuk off

"No religion should have guilt in it; It should be joy, hope, and love."

[@kimmipilkington6977]

No Religion should exist, but the teaching of Faith, Equality, Morality, Acceptance, and of course Love Eternal, and as for Johnny, a role model not unlike Jesus who also caused controversy in Religion and preached against it, turning tables over in places of worship and claiming the hypocrisy of it , as not of God the Creator of us, but a false righteousness not having spirit. Like our Famous Brother, Johnny shares his Truth from the Heart and makes no apologies for it and why the hell should he?

[@SeanMcNerney]

Infinite wilderness - guilt is an important emotion - it keeps us from making the same mistake over & over again. Depression is the worst

[@Serai3]

That line of "Jesus didn't teach religion" is such a self-serving load of crap. Please stop denying what you're doing and start defending it on its own merits, instead of coming up with these nonsensical distinctions. Jesus was a rabbi of the Jewish faith who taught some not terribly radical ideas. (Everything he taught had been taught before by others, including within the Hebrew religion - look up Hallel, for instance.) He was very MUCH religious - it's even in the bible. He says he's not here to change "one jot or tittle" in the law, meaning he had no interest in changing his faith at all, only in giving people some hope for the future and a better way to see their religion. If you have any respect for the man, don't twist his words to suit your own spiritual whims.

[@Geckotr]

Reiligion is not about joy or love, it's about controlling the masses, to keep the established order and make sure no one rocks the boat. This is why Karl Marx said that religion is the opium of the masses. He's probably one of the first people who stated that fact openly

How i fucking hated them, it turned me into an anti authoritarian little shit who hated everybody and everything, and had no respect for anybody or their belongings.

[@Technosphile]

Felix Ray feel free to take aim at “guilt-mongering religious institutions”, but don’t bother trying to convince yourself or anyone else that Johnny Rotten’s worldview is consistent with American liberalism. His working class roots are something he’s never forgotten, and modern populism-the antithesis of liberalism and it’s creeping embrace of nanny state socialism-is a reflection of those people and the values they were raised on. John himself is thrilled about Brexit and described Trump’s victory as “the working class have spoken” without even a microscopic amount of disdain. He’s a good man. A man of values and honesty. He loathes rock star worship but it’s for the man he is that I idolize him.

[@wolflair3329]

@@aleksastamenkovic5526 I suppose if I look at it from his side, he was quite often being interviewed by established faces who until then hadn't encountered many if any, people with a deep rooted dislike for pretty much everything. It's likely they pushed buttons to goad a reaction and he delivered. He had nothing to prove, the punk movement didn't care. I never bought into punk wholly but the sound was good, mainly, and it spawned and influenced some excellent bands. I guess Lydon was who he was and to be elevated to a position where your voice and opinions could now be heard by millions was too good an opportunity to throw away. He sounded intelligent enough in those early days to give better answers though, you don't always need to be so anti. Whatever my view, and it's largely unimportant. Punk gave the music industry a kick in the balls as did rock n' roll and each has played a part in music and it's development. I don't think either would have expected the downturn we've endured for the last twenty years though.

This ladies and gentlemen, is a genius! Musical talent and intelligence are a great combination We love you Johnny!!

[@petejones879]

I could listen to John all day long

[@Spirit-Of-The-Age]

He was hugely inspired and influenced by Hawkwind, especially their on and off lead singer Bob Calvert......He would go to so Hawkwind play live as a teenager.

[@flipshroomz9379]

Nik Turner wrote Brainstorm and it was him who brought Bob Calvert into Hawkwind. I heard that John said if it wasnt for Brainstorm there wouldnt have been the Sex Pistols... maybe!! 🖐👀🖑

[@sexobscura]

@@flipshroomz9379 at least the Pistols that eventuated

[@60-second-HACKS]

You've taken me in Johnny Lydon. I've watched a lot of his interviews recently. What a hopeless jerk he was when he was young and famous. But he's turned out ALRIGHT. Really enjoy his honest straight-forward manner. It must be the grandkids' influence.

[@rollacoastaride1937]

He always was a decent dude, but the media were always trying to stump him, when someone says anything against the queen, they are usually attacked from all directions, coz the queen is a witch, and a spoilt brat, this interviewer was being respectful, so it made Johnny talk openly without being defensive, thanks for the comment

[@geoffpoole483]

His autobiography is worth a read. I think he gives some interviewers a hard time because all they ask him about is the Sex Pistols, which was a brief but significant part of his life. This interviewer asked him about other parts of his life and he was very candid.

[@neonskyline1]

might have been an act, or he couldn't put his views over well when he was young

[@geffwigley206]

Loved that interview , very interesting and intelligent man I like him 😊

[@johnharrison1122]

He was part of a phenomenal band, the bollocks was, and still is, in my opinion, one of the best of our generation. Even then , John had a wise , almost "joker" like behavior, Steve was essential, Paul was heroic , and Sid was the iconic poster. The band pushed the boundaries and for that , I push it abit too. Anyway, phenomenal burst . If you can read this Get your own podcast up John .

[@TheChadTI]

If he gave this interview in current year he would have his house burned down. God bless John Lydon. An actual original.

[@ommadammo]

Excellent share, thank you for this.

[@rollacoastaride1937]

most welcome

[@johnyoung9822]

As a child I had my left hand smashed every time I used it and I'm 47 , so many children were abused in this way and it was wrong.

[@Geckotr]

Muslims have the same belief but they're not as strict as the catholics i think. I'm a leftie guy from Turkey, they warned me a couple of times that eating with the left hand is a sin and i didn't care but i know some of my friends were forced to use their right hand by their parents

[@negativeindustrial]

BooHoo (the both of you)

[@Danhall67]

He one of kind. Tells it like it is like it or not. I have a lot of respect for him.

[@johnmainwaring6556]

Great interview, great questions and John Lydon never disappoints.

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

Bought his first autobiography in 1993 or 1994 and he was signing copies in the store... this was in Venice Beach (where he lived and I'd see him around the neighborhood) and the signature said, "'Ere Mike, Read the story of my life and be enriched 'ya fuckin' cunt! -- John Lydon" I was enriched!

[@konavader]

1980, Huntington Beach California, epicenter of the so cal punk uprising, I was 17. I knew back then I was listening to one of the smartest people alive, and I was right. My pleasure was to finally see them live when they reassembled and came to town. Thanks for the great memories. Aloha

[@Lakk6Metal]

:) I have really missed out on this man , i should have paid more attention to him earlier. And the LAdy who interviewd him, had really done her Research, werent judging or anything. Well done Sir :)

[@silverstevo]

He is and shall always be a hero to me x

[@TheLaidbackBiker]

Best interview with John I've seen.

[@dollielouise2178]

John I just love you more and more. Your wisdom is spot on . Your one of the smartest men . When you talk everything makes sense. And she was a lovely interviewer. Love you John. Xxx

[@wernerrebitzer2906]
