  • Forgot to say, love the man! Totally true! So what if he does occasionally sell out? It`s a capatilisic world h lives in?...He needs to eat too? Costs bread you fuckers!?

  • "Mellow fucking,pussy wipes" ! Yep gotta agree with Johnny! Same people in the audience probably go to "Glasto"???? Englands now run by,and caters to,and is full of middle class,middle aged,ok yaa types! ?

    Johnnies right again when he says about Uk, "ya cant do this, ya cant do that"? One thing ya ca do, as I did,emigrate!

  • this sounds like he wrote the speech in the loo after one too many COCKtails and an off smelling serving of caviar.

  • PiL are one of my favourite bands, but this makes me want to die of embarrassment. Time to give up

  • @pstmnpstmn Dude, shut up. If you don't like this... (this is Johnny as he is) then you are an embarassment, if you have deemed yourself as a PiL fan.

  • @rosaleenauk he is a joke. in fact he always has been. he let himself be used by that scumbag McLaren and then felt guilty about it afterwards. Now I think about it PiL are only good because of Keith Levene and Jah Wobble, John's wannabe Mark E Smith style prose is pretty Rotten if truth be told.

  • @pstmnpstmn let's get real here, John was incredibly young in the early days as most kids are. However John had principles and has in my opinion stcuk by them to this very day so I find that admirable. John Lydon simply hates the false glitz and glamour and the ever increasing celebrity asslicking, he likes people who are consistent in their beliefs and people who are not corrupt. John loves Britain I am sure and is no doubt disgusted at the way it's been ruined

  • @pstmnpstmn ..and as for Malcolm McLaren, he was just a man with a vision and along with Viv Westwood and a unrestful Great Britain helped kick started a punk movement. McLaren sought much more credit from both media and public that he deserved for the Sex Pistols and he lived his life reminding people of it. Sure I think John went way OTT on the video but then he has always liked controversy. PIL was made good by John's irreplaceable vocals and John McGeoch's guitar

  • @TalkToTheBody PiL was only ever made good by Keith Levene and Jah Wobble, without their music there would be no PiL, which was made evident after they both left.

  • @pstmnpstmn PIL was very punk when they first started, I remembered buying their first single (Public Image) wrapped in the PIL newspaper but times changed and so did music. I think PIL just changed, their fanbase grew up (such as myself) as did their musical ability and they must surely have realised the next generation would not show much interest. After all PIL has to make a living, it was not a sell out just a changing band no different than The Beatles, U2, Rolling Stones etc

  • "Hello EMI"

    

  • @olavm91 so is ur mum u cunt!!!

  • pretentious twaddle

  • Epic speech. Not a fuck was given

  • When I look around this room..

  • What a trashy scumbag.

  • 1:33 snubbed ouch!

  • Brought to you in assocation with EMI - the corporate establishment label that dropped them (with orders from 'above'). Go on John, tell it like it is -F**KIN' ZOMBIES!

  • ...a sense of adventure and 'liberation' that has since infused virtually 'every' aspect of modern culture... another media whore talking bollocks again. I was ten years old when the Pistols kicked the 'establishment' up the arse. TOTP was f**kin awful Brotherhood Of Man (yawn) etc. I 'got it' even at that tender age and hid their records from my parents. A much needed reality check for the music industry...

    YOU F**KERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!

  • Now that's how u should accept an award!!!!!!

  • he iss a legend

  • Go,Johnny,go!Fuckin' with them and they still applaud him!

  • hahahaha I wanna do that sometime in my country

  • The award was sponsored by fucking EMI! It's a funny old world...

  • @FerenswayRecords That's hilarious, just realised that reading your comment

  • Lol goddamn I fucking love John Lydon. The true icon for punk.

  • JEBO SAM TI MAMU MRTVU U PICKU POLOMIO BIH TE SAMO TAKO KO PICKU AKO MOZES DA SE KURCIS I DA UDARAS I PONASAS PREMA ZENSKOJ TACNO BI TI GLAVU POLOMIO DA SAM BIO TU PICKA TI MATERINA BOLESNA MRTVA!!!!

  • @upthebracket24

    he has alot of talent, even heard his other band Public Image Ltd.? he was a great singer and a great songwriter.

  • @upthebracket24

    Maybe selling out has become punk these days?

  • @upthebracket24

    even if he has no talent he's still made more of himself then you ever will.

  • What a legend! Still punk as fuck after all these years, all the people complaning about "how rude he is" or that "he's a prick" don't know what punk is all about.

  • You F*ckers! Now I'm going back to my sunny California real estate business. Yeah real rebel. Wanker!

  • never better sentiments said from the gospel..!...

  • It may seem hard for some, to understand why he behaved this way.

    But he was band, persecuted, beaten, ripped off, and etc. 20 years before this. by people just like the ones in that room....

    NOW THEY WANT TO GIVE HIM AN AWARD!!!! lol

    and every one seems to think he should say "wow thank you, id like to thank Jesus Christ our Savior, my mum because without herrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr bla bla bla... John lydon can only say what he feels i believe

  • @rowdykartel well said

  • Comment removed

  • John is so hardcore!

  • I love how everyone just keeps on clapping proving his point

  • The audience is fucking lame.

  • what a genius

  • I loved this so much!

  • Is that my mums old maternity dress?

  • "Do not go gentle into that good night.

    Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

  • He is way ahead of his time.

  • is he wearing a dress?

  • This is amazing. I laughed too much.

  • "Ya can't smoke, ya can't drink - what the fuck can ya do?! And anova thing...How come every time I go to the laundromat, one of me socks ends up missin'?!" Also loved the dude's pronunciation of "Gothe-hm"

  • the legend speaks the truth,

  • ..... Hes the lest American person I can think u mongchild

  • John's, like, wearing a plaid moo-moo. He really is American

  • I just cant get over how fat they are..!!? Glad he told the entirety of MOJO that theyre just a bunch of pussywipes. Now, thats true

  • Only John Lydon could give an acceptance speech like that. Priceless!

  • what an asshole

  • That was so beautiful I have to watch it again...

    

  • i love sex pistols but honestly i think john lyndon became a hypocrite sellout, what's up with his butter commercials and portraying Britishness???

  • @jeremyunderground41 for fuck sake it's a jest!!!! don't you get it?

  • @jeremyunderground41 What's up with the commercials is that he needed money for PIL to get back on tour, which he did. I don't think that it's selling-out, if you need the fucking money to be able to make world tour... so leave your wise crap for your grandma.

  • @jeremyunderground41 I don't think it's a sell out, advertising is a commercial need whether it's on TV or in a Magazine or simply word of mouth. John has never condemned advertising although I guess he dislikes celebrities putting their name to a product they will not stand by. I guess John does like the butter he advertised, he got paid for it too but why not? He did not go against his principles at all. He probably had a good laugh doing it as he did with the jungle

  • Wow... what a man. Yup, John, we're with you.

  • Get over yourself and your piss poor band you judgemental has-been.

  • he shoulda kicked everyone onstage in the bollocks...including the silly bitch behind him....fuckers!!!

  • Silly cunt! Ever feel like you've been cheated?

  • old people cant sport wood anymore...this makes john mad

  • he should be a music teacher somewhere in UK, make children lives a living hell by forcing them to play Anarchy in UK all damn day.

  • He is fucking guy, but he is still charming and pretty :)))))) sex pistols is cool group, johny had a good voice.... i think if he is less angry he can be prettier :)

  • should have just said ' fuck off' and walked off.

  • THIS MAN'S A TOTAL SELL-OUT

    Away and sell butter you fraud! Bill Hick's got it right when he told us not to believe anyone who did an advert or endorsed, for money, a product. Sold their soul to the devil.

    Weller is much more of a man.

    Jonny Rotten was the Pistols.

  • @TheAbsoluteBeginner You're a fucking idiot, he did it for himself, he wants money. How does doing a butter advert making him any less of who he used to be? That is punk. He does what the fuck he likes, he doesn't give a shit about what you think.

  • @zoopezoop Thats ridiculous, the whole idea of punk is to rebel, especially against the media and consumerism, thats the lifestyle choice, sid would have never of done a fucking advert for butter of all things, its embarrassing.

  • @T1C2A3F4

    wrong. the whole idea of punk is not what any of us thinks for others.

  • @hayzeephantayzee the whole idea of the punk movement was to kick Britain up the arse. John Lydon who is quoted for saying "rules and for fools" also said to think for yourself but so long as no one gets hurt. John as you may agree is actually a very intelligent and a man of strong principles. I think he got his message across on this speech, not quite how I would have liked him to do it but he hates lies and corruption. Punk was about thinking for yourself and not be mislead

  • @TalkToTheBody

    yes we agree. The man does what he wants to do despite any "rules" or whatever. Probably more than 90% of youtube commenters. And it's kinda ridiculous when people here tell him (or anyone for that matter) what to do, especially "in the name of punk".

  • @hayzeephantayzee well said, personally I think John would make an excellent ambassador, controversial maybe but he speaks volumes and rarely have i heard him contradict himself or talk bullshit. He'd make a fine politician, if there was a vacancy for someone pure and honest

  • @TheAbsoluteBeginner why on earth is he a sell out for advertising butter for christ's sake? Advertising is a commerical need, his music is sold based on advertising whetehr it be magazines, tv or just by word of mouth. He got paid for touting a product he no doubt liked and he probably had fun doing it as he did when he went into the jungle. There's too many people attacking this guy, a guy who has an amazing arsenal of knowledge and principles.

  • i can never understand if hes joking or being serious :S

  • @muschi2121 Yeah he makes the audience feel uncomfortable, like a true Punk artist should :p

  • @01fey

    Its not about making them feel uncomfortable, he just thinks how everyone doesn't

  • @lgb3000 doesn't have to be a concious effort from him. He still does it anyway, and I'm not here to argue witha random.

  • He reminds me and looks so much like the late great entertainer Sammy Davies Jnr they could be twin brothers , remarkable .

  • @Albert18264 I think you will find that Sammy Davies Jnr was black.....

  • he now advertises margarine on t.v,anarchy on yer crumpet's,farmers wife

  • I get the impression that no one there was quite ready for him. God this guy is fun.

  • @lookOvErHeree lol its the MOJO awards there's been alot worse than johnny Rotten up on that stage

  • The Sex Pistols did push the bounderies, forever, and all he said was true, im only 15, but i know that in the 80's and 90's were a time of absolute anarchy and rebelion, that is what i would have loved to live in, no rules (if there were u didnt listen to them) now there is no rebelion, no fight back. LONG LIVE ANARCHY!!!!! AND LONG LIVE THE SEX PISTOLS, John, i hope you live forever and make the world real again.

  • Comment removed

  • @seamo123 Somebody's insecure about themselves....

  • LMAO that was great

  • 1:35 the guy to the right has a fright when john says 'anarchist!'

  • Hes wearing a maternity dress.

  • hilarious! But yep- he is very negative! But sure has much to sayyyyyyyyyy-cheers to him!

  • 99% of the pondlife in that audience didn't know what the fuck he was on about,lol.

  • LUV IT!

  • I grew up with them, and John is as always F#####g great, but you would have thought a multi millionaire would have mellowed a bit by now !!

  • I remember when claude rajotte showed him their biggest in-house Pistols fan from "music plus" to say hi to Lydon during the interview & shook his hand as Lydon said "very nice to meet you too, NOW PISS OFF!!!

  • When did swearing become clever? the sex pistols were overrated anyway,a couple albums didn't change the world,yet the sex pistols have dined out on it ever since!!

  • 58 people liked the 'smuck' sound the mike made when Johnny threw it on the floor at the end of his tirade

  • Fuck yeah Lydon!

  • andate a cagar vos!!

  • Punk is dead? Awesome. Then we can get real music back.

  • @cheifguggletram

    I would just like you to take this moment to realize how much i fucking hate you, despise you and all the awful things i now wish upon you because you had to hop the fuck on youtube and spread your ignorant fucking bullshit nobody gives a fuck about your negative opinion or your taste in music, fuck off.

  • @MattyC9110 I'm speaking of course to the fucking retard who commented before me. The video's pretty cool

  • @MattyC9110 I love you too

  • cantankerous

  • All time, best acceptance speach ? just watched the Country Butter spot before this. Makes me feel all toasty.

  • LOL they know what they are getting into when they ask Johnny to do anything, its funny how ppl are surprised by what he says

  • what a prick

  • I want a plaid dress.

  • @Crim122 lol its a maternity one.

  • for all the old punks saying puk is dead, look up leftover crack

  • Punk died, when Megadeth covered Anarchy

  • Offspring is a good band....other then that they all Poop....

  • p.s - im not some fuckin little kid either!!!!..........im bored of old punks moaning about bands not being punk anymore and im bored of young cunts that dont know old stuff.....go figure!..................lets all have fun and listen to what we want!!...without the moaning.

  • if all you are seeing is offspring,greenday-etc...then you are obviously not seeing reall punk rock, underground punk has allways been around and nothing to do with those bands or mtv....punk is and has allways been around since its creation..the problem is that people who watch the shit that corporations call punk are the ones that say its not around...underground punkrock has and is here..stop watching the shit on your tv and go to a gig or get a cd of a band that youve never heard of before.

  • @stikkirecords Better yet, Chop off your fucking stupid stuck up stripe you 'punks' sport, bin your £150 leather jackets you've sewn band patches on, wipe the fucking make-up off your stupid fucking faces, and stop being so proud of your 'ironic' t-shirts and still claim, you're like the Pistols. The Pistols were never about being sheep and copying trends, and as soon as you idiot 'punks' realize this, the better. As Rotten himself pointed out "The Punks Ruined It".

  • Mellow fuckin' pussy wipes! Haha! True true!

  • So uncomfortable. Pissing myself laughing here.

  • John Lydon is sexy

  • I will spread some butter to that you fucking JOKE!

  • "Since Enfused virtually every aspect of modern culture in the uk and around the world!?!?!?!" SHUT THE FUCK-UP U COCKSUCKING SLIMEWEASLE........

  • No punk is wors than dead it is dying and needs to be put out of its misery because the punk which came back this decade just re-emerged as shit.

  • Jon lydon really inspires me

    when I see him like that at his age

    it just shows that you don't have to mellow down like everyone else even when your old.

  • what an old fag

  • @leadbelly39 what a young fag

  • Punk never existed! if you want to label it you could say agressive,SituationistDada or angry,Nihilism.But who cares about Labels anyway...especially not us hypocrites! and yes...Johnny is one of us with his 2nd house at Malibubeach.He has become a member of the cultural Elite and i don't mind...actually i like him for his show.A good Entertainer who could become the Queens jester.We can all see bigbrothers cameras everywhere,worse than the Gestapo,and we do nothing about it.We r all dumb sheep!

  • I want a bondage moomoo!!

  • Woah, that is truly wild!

  • yeah, what the f*** can you do today?!

  • He needs a better attitude than that to get his message across though he did have a point !

  • @BoogieKnight1976 Why should he change? That´s him

  • When he chucked the mic down at the end - had to laugh, excellent

  • Youuuu FUUUCKEEERRRRRRRSSSSSSS!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!

  • John was in a right bad mood this evening. He should have gone to the pub instead. He's not like that ALL the time. Lol

  • Comment removed

  • the presenter's gotten an amayzen' brummie accent...

  • AMEN!

  • Spot on Johnny Rotten (Lydon), there has never been any bullshit when it comes to him. That's for damn sure.

  • If punks about attitude then punks a joke,Hence Ramones is considered punk pioneers and they were nothing more then a fucking cartoon band.Early punk was about shock value and getting a rise out of people,Iggy Pop cutting himself,Sid being an idiot,Johnnys lyrics,Now the shock values gone and people are saying these new bands arent real punk,Ask yourself was punk ever real to begin with?

  • Has he EVER been dull?

  • he just...killed them all....

  • people need to realise that the butter ad payed for his public image tour and it was a small british company, not exactly pepsi.

  • punk is not dead, it is not just a genre, it is not a philosophy, or ideaology, reason for the meaning of life, or testimony. It doesn't even have a name. IT IS HONESTY AND FREEDOM TO TELL IT BY WHAT WE LOVE DOING.

  • You're fake and a loser, John. You act rude and arrogant towards all journalists. MEDIA is part and parcel to the business you're in, wrinkles. Without the media exposure you wouldn't have the money to put the bread on the table that you spread the butter which you hawk on. You fucking sellout. You still got a bee in your bonnet over what you did 30 years ago. You bite the hand that fees you; you complain about media events, but attend them. go fucking figure Johnny Liar!!

  • @sabellnocdrain He didn´t attend the Rock´n´Roll Hall of Fame. And, do you think Johnny wants to go back to the streets? HE MADE NO FUCKING MONEY OF THE PISTOLS!

    Do ya research... oh pretty please do...

  • Yea johnny, fun to watch that right after the butter commercial you did

  • show=shit, typo.

  • He looks like a malformed Popeye. You don't know show about integrity or honesty, you greedy FAKE.

  • GO-tham city? what the fuck is GO-tham City? Shirly Temple needs to learn to read a fucking autocue!

  • John, Fuck off back to LA you stupid old cunt, and giver my mam back her jammies.

  • "Welcome to England proper, you can't smoke you cant' drink, what the f*ck can you do here anymore?" .... you can still wear your pyjamas to award ceremonies John ;-D.

  • @patnfm

    ahh mate we made it in the real world then we relized it FUCKING SUCKS everything is fake and thats what you are ya faggot cunt

  • amazing haha, the power he droped that mic haha love it

  • Brilliant bastard!!!

  • Lol! I always love to hear what Johnny has to say.

  • THAT IS AWESOME.

  • I hope I'm as angry as him when I'm old

  • @PersonalJesus348 I hope im smarter than him..anger eats ur brain.

  • Hahahaha, great.

  • you FUCKERS!!! :D

  • Please tell us how you really feel. Haw!

  • I FUKIN LOVE HIM!!!!!!!!!

  • with proper honesty and integrity...and delicious, creamy country life butter! Johnny likes country life butter because it pays the best, well, the best after virgin records and EMI.

  • He's fucking right. Who hasn't laughed at a shite joke to be polite or or agreed with their boss even when their wrong - I fucking have - who hasn't ?

  • He is right.. he only offends sheeple :) Dunno why fukwits are surprised...HE IS A PUNK! Not just a hairstyle... I remember Thatchers Britain... and I am fucked off about whets happened also...

    Nobody here has had the impact on culture that this man has... I would rather here the lone voice of rebellion than the pathetic bleating of millions of sheeple towing the line with their heads bowed in humiliation :)

    Rock on Johnny!

  • What's wrong with "Cheers"

  • Why are people afraid to say "Look John would ye for God sake fuck up and stop acting like a dick to everyone".

    Would love to meet him but I don't think telling him how much of a prick he is would have much affect. Maybe a stitch to the teeth might sort him out.

  • Effect*

  • like it or not john lydon is a cool bloke and because his out spoken no one likes him. well i think he says the truth 99% of the time if people don't like what he says fuck them they don't have to listern to him do they.

  • Comment removed

  • fuck punk??? if it was not for punk you wouldn't have half of the music you have out today. some punk is cool.
