Statement from Public Image Ltd: All pit security left seconds after this clip ended - to be replaced by a ever-increasing tsunami of PiL fans. Rambo took control of the stage - later gently removing 2 over-enthusiastic fans. The stage belongs to PiL - the dancefloor belongs to you. You policed yourselves. PiL would like to thank the people of Pontiac for their impeccable active participation. Phenomenal show - phenomenal crowd. Thank you Pontiac and goodnight.

What happened to the tsunami,where they distracted by facebook

[@ells101]

Fuck off you Div

[@kait2972]

PiL Official | Public Image Ltd Johnny was a total prick here. He tapped the guy on the arm and said "oi, get your arm off there". I would have told him to fuck himself too. Ask me and do it respectfully or I ain't listening. It seems a clear case of Johnny massaging his ego, again. He wouldn't say shit to the security guy in any other setting.

[@Obrian81]

I was there!!! I was in the front row and it was AMAZING!!! I drove 3 hours to see them and it was worth it!! GREAT SHOW!!!

[@johnc9483]

He's right, the security guard is placing himself in a position of aggression.

[@SuperGrimupnorth]

at the end...rotton tellin the promotor to fk off as well...good ol Johnny keepin real as always

[@DETROITTV]

@pilofficial Very well stated!! The Band is a class act, the crowd was a controlled riot and pit security was an aggressive extra expense for the venue

[@councilglasses]

Rock en roll American vomits

[@seivaDsugnA]

He was leaning on the monitor. Musicians don't like that.

[@Claymore84517]

What security guard leans on the stage? Good for johnny for saying something.

[@maxcohen13]

I can't imagine they're hiring the sharpest knives in the drawer for that position to begin with. But I would've loved to hear what he was saying.

[@philbertb]

Good old Johnny!

[@Rikitocker]

Then Rambo slides in from stage right just in case to protect Lydon ...

[@thetruepunx4732]

yes thats his job old rambo is a x british paratrooper he can do a bit no matter his size

[@michaeljohnaustin6745]

Fucking good on John

[@GooberMagonk]

Punk rockers don't give in to bullies

[@piccolina721]

Heeeeeeeres Johnny !

[@realitytv506]

Well John probably could have handled it more discreetly...but I'm not even at the show and I can feel the uncomfortable presence of this shadowy thug looming over you. A PIL show should be an emotionally free and liberating event, you shouldn't have to feel that your going through airport security...it is disrespectful.

[@blzbub1]

I thought it were Ricky Gervaise being an Extra and trying to get his head in the shot :-)

[@mohawk1020]

cranky old man

[@kdobbinhale]

johnny touchy.

[@ginestrian]

John Lyndon - him-very-self

[@standafan4141]

Interesting for an 'anarchist' to say such a thing as 'I pay your wages'. A capitalist boss would say such a thing. And nowadays Lydon promotes Brexit!!! FFS!

[@wiedlin1]

sid visius puts the hat on this meatball

[@therajgreek420]

What an entitled man, just leave the guy be, horrible

[@TheBlueCream]

lucky that sec guy didnt go onstage and bean Johnny after calling him a 'fat lump'

[@misterdinkly]

who cares if the guy leans on a little on his precious stage. What happened to a little personal freedom. Yeah, they're paying him for security buy Lydon was the bully here.

[@myked2072]

"Personal freedom"?? You're joking, right?? For the entire time a band is on that stage, THEY OWN that stage, and it's not a lounge chair for some fat fuck security guard to kick back on. I guarantee that was his last night of employment in the field of security.

[@cadetrenew]

Myke D I doubt it was. Nobody gives a fuck about egotistical celebrities.

[@starmartyr7299]

Right. That audience didn't pay money to see that security guy's fat ass spread out onstage like that. What a fucking sloth! Hope they replaced this lazy sub-idiot with someone who could actually stand up on their own for one fucking minute, because this douche couldn't even handle That! lol

[@roxannestorm2616]

d you apathetic fool that shows how much you know dumbass

[@justinmayhugh9332]

4:35 into this interview.... seems a little hypocritical given the fact that he says he's always wanted to break down the barriers at a show, and yet he gets all bent out of shape about security leaning against a monitor kzbin.info/www/bejne/lXO9Y4ild7-te6s

[@johnc9483]

It's not about the security guard leaning against the monitor, it's about the guard placing himself in a menacing position with regards to the audience. The security guard is an oppressive figure for the audience.

[@ricdavid7476]

"your being fxxxxxg ridiculous"!! The guy was there to protect people throwing glasses and bottles at the singer so i think it is the singer who looks and sounds silly and pompous.

[@jamesregmorris]

Right, let me settle this. I am a musician myself and I know that security are there to protect the punters, the band, the venue and the equipment, they are not there to lounge around and watch the show. It only takes one idiot to hurt someone or even destroy something and pil might not have been able play the venue again. In short security should be watching the crowd not the band

[@ouncy]

He wasn't watching the band.

[@mousehead2000]

He wasn't watching the band. He had his back to them and was clearly watching the crowd.

[@councilglasses]

Which way was he facing dumbass

[@mojoworld1]

Made a living off of acting like he was an asshole ingrate. Simply, the joke being that is just a cartoon character persona.

[@stringer-ik1pc]

stick selling your butter.and doing reality t.v.I'd rather listen to anyone off the x factor.at least they sing better.

[@pudboy123456]

"We don't need your aggression" coming from Johnny Rotten who made his career out of it? LMFAO what a hypocrite. the guys smiling to the crowd even - don't blame him from not massaging some E listers ego. Johnny's meant to be smart - all those years in music and how much has he made? clever man he is. .
