Glad there is ONE person in this feed who gets it. John Lydon is extremely intelligent & has a point. Totally. I know a lot of people don't get him, but it's their own ignorance. Now Keith, he was right in with John but he looks like a bloody vampire & I get a bad feeling from him, idk why, I just always have. Love John tho!

I’d say that’s where hip hop was in like 2011 and the ensuing trap/SoundCloud rap was more or less exactly analogous to punk/post-punk/new-wave. The similarities are so numerous, chiefly that it pissed of adherents of traditional rap technique chops and meaning, but through reduction and destruction it opened new interesting aesthetic directions. Sadly it was largely pearls before swine for the gutar music purists!

​@godsNgenerals That's why Johnny quit the Pistols and hates McLaren- the Capitalist Machine co-opted and commodified Punk's scorched earth repudiation of what rock & roll's original rebellion had become. The very same reason he and Levene are trying to articulate in this interview- being "a company" is less of a cultural straight-jacket than being "a rock group". Of course, how Lydon expressed that ethic post Flowers of Romance- I'm not touching that with a ten-foot pole. But clearly, a huge opportunity for a most sublime statement was missed in 1996 when the Pistols' Filthy Lucre reunion tour was not packaged with KISS' reunion tour!

Yeah he may of been right I guess but mind you, never mind the bollocks and PIL shit was decent, but not as good as what it would later inspire. I guess since Sex Pistols is so influential, he will always have a say, I just sort of despise how he insists what he makes is the end all be all. When a lot of shit that came after was better. Lots of better shit than the Sex Pistols, and he stretches his stay in that too. as to say he’s the reason they succeeded. As if any other member didn’t play a role eh!

I love PiL and I get that John was going to fuck with whoever was interviewing him but I honestly really like Tom's interviewing style. Tom didn't give a shit about looking cool the dude just legitimately was asking questions which is better than some of the bullshit sensationalistic interviews that the sex pistols got. I feel like you can tell that if it were just Keith then the interview would have gone differently but I guess PiL had to have the performance art aspect. Regardless, it's nice to see an interviewer who is A) Not a confrontational prick trying to prove something and B) Someone who's trying to show how much they "get it". I dig the apparent sincerity.

The interview Tom had just before this one he had a completely different demeanor. He allowed the person (sorry, can't remember who it was but he looked like Elton John) speak, tell stories, and the questions were more conversational. Tom was smiling, laughing and interested. Then when John and Keith came on Tom's attitude was completely opposite. I'm not sure what happened during the break when between the last interview and when John and Keith came on, but it seemed Tom wasn't happy having them there from the start and John and Keith look like they're in the principal's office. Tom's questions were uninteresting and repetitive. He was mocking them, either unable to refusing to comprehend what John and Keith were saying, not paying attention to the topics to avoid mentioning. Tom didn't even give John 2 seconds to answer the viewer question. You have to give people time to absorb what they are being asked. Tom was not patient at all and treated them differently. I'm sure John and Keith witnessed parts of the last interview and noticed how different they were being treated. I'd be on the defense, too.

John Lydon kicked against the establishment, and for really good reasons. Nearly everyone was like "yes sir, no sir" and all agreeing with each other. Lydon saw the inanity of modern life and tried to wake up as many as he could with shock tactics. Today almost everyone is still asleep.

I saw PIL in SF. Also went to the interview with them. I drank too much on the way to the show and I woke up to Johnny saying "for those who were too drunk the first time we will play it again" and did Public Image. I remember at the interview a woman asked what they were doing for the scene and she said "I'm working for nothing for the scene" and Johnny said "Then you my dear are a turd".

I think Lydons antagonising behaviour towards Snyder is about him feeling like Snyder 'just doesn't get it' so he feels like he has to challenge him to break down some sort of barrier that he felt was between them...idk, thats just my take on it
