  • ... a better word for?...-what? for ayayyayyayayyaya! go johnny, gogogogo!

  • <3 <3 <3

  • Attitude is almost more important than sound in Punk Rock.

  • the interviewer needs to fuck off. johnny is right. dont give a shit what people think. be rude, be an asshole because the world is going to be right back, ten times fucking worse

  • Johnny Rotten = Legend. Literal legend of Punk.

  • "the lydon stare"

  • ahaha this is a real fucking anarchy punker!

  • interviewer is an idiot

  • U r all right, but isn't his reaction at the end a sign 4 he doesn't know what 2 say.... He's insecure or whatever? I mean anything else he says i agree with.

  • -the punk is nothing new, i think

    - then you think wrong...

    -whats new about punk?

    - i don't know BUT you still think wrong...

    DAAAMN WHAT AN MAN! I rolled on the floor laughing, but i was also amazed by his attitude!

  • I couldn't help smiling/laughing for 1.32minutes, LOVE JOHNNY ROTTEN!

  • ''I don't give a shit what you think"  :)

  • He looked awesome when he was young

  • I wonder what this Johnny would say if we went back in time and played a tape of him doing the butter commercial?

  • i dont give a shit what you think

    broke my shit laughing!

  • Johnny Rotten is awesome, but I bet if you met him he could easily be an asshole lol

  • Geez people! If you're really Johnny Rotten fans then make him proud: find out where the YouTubers you're angry at live and then go kick their asses!

  • The interviewer is a total twat.

  • the interviewer is a class A dork

  • i had never heard so many epic phrases in 1 minute and 32 seconds

  • Johnny Rotten: one of the most honest, cleverest, smartest, wittiest, nastiest, in your face punk rockers who ever lived. These guys wrote the Bible on punk rock music, appearance, and of course attitude. Fuck the others, Sex Pistols are the best and if you think differently then fuck off cause I don't give a shit what you think. FUCK THIS COMMENT AND THIS COMPUTER I'M ON. Gonna listen to Sex Pistols where I don't have to listen to a bunch of wankers giving me their opinion and shit.

  • @MrJAG713 you fucking poser

  • This interview changes my life. I used to have almost know self-confidence but watching john's attitude here really changed my life. I think the most important line is "I don't give a shit what you think. I know what I think and that's all that counts to me. I don't try to impress anybody but myself". It has become a kindof motto in my life. And made me a much happier person.

  • @rjnrf yeah man, i know whatcha mean, this interview had the same exact impact on me...

  • Funny Johnny!

  • Oh god, I love his voice <3 what a sweetheart ♥

  • wet.

  • I like Johnny Rotten because he's so smart and such a thinker. To me he represents punk on some level but definitely not on this one, he just tries to be annoying. :D But I'm not into the punk scene of England anyway so this comment is completely useless. His book is great, though.

  • @dezzix1 cause its public oppinnion if u dont like the fucking comment bar then fuck off

  • "hehhehhee tough shit!"

    that's kinda awesome

  • @Reemii Dude i fucking loath capitalism but communism is just as stupid, anarchy too. "Not gonna respond to the rest of that poison", good cause you know that im right in calling you a dumbass. I can use whatever words i please. Facists like you need to be buried under a deep hole and starve. Your parents must be really proud to have raised a certified piece of shit. One last thing. Take a dildo, shine it up real nice, turn that sumbitch sideways, AND STICK IT STRAIGHT UP YOUR CANDY ASS.

  • @Reemii those are some strong words. Thanks for letting me know, im VERY happy (or gay as you put it). I live in a house, i want to start a career, and wear clothes which cost above $20, i wanna make money, im most DEFINETLY a phony. What are you dumbass? Im everything you wish you were. You're probably some hobo who somehow got access to the internet and probably bitches about how much communism rules. Don't waste my time by replying with a witty remark or calling me a faggot, deuces.

  • Sniffing Glue....

  • Doing your hair and wairing expensive clothes is vanity, vanity is about what other people think of you. The sex pistols are shit. This guy is a fucking idiot. He probably sits around rehursing what he will say when he's interviewed, but was too stupid to come up with something to say when someone asked him about why he upholds an image even though he doesnt care what other people think, so he dismissed it. If you want anarchy and punk rock, listen to GG ALLIN!!!!!

  • @plqqqqqqqqqable Dude GG Allin was a pathetic tool who ripped off Iggy Pop's act up to the point in which it wasn't cool anymore. Had only two good songs, the brain the size of my left nut, said the word fuck in every sentence, and died a loser. Everyone prepares for an interview. No one remembers him or acclaims him, and rightfully so.

  • @elo333333333 No, only everyone who cares what people think of them prepare for interviews. GG Allin was exactly what he presented to people, he didn't just put on a front like the brain dead in the video. He represented something that someone like you will never understand, The Sex Pistols just took advantage of a social fad at the time, and are still popular because they complied with record companies enough for their albums to be released. GG Allin complied with no one. Your fucking stupid

  • @plqqqqqqqqqable Nothing you just said made any sense, but i would expect that from a GG Allin fan. The Sex Pistols spoke to more teenagers back then and even today then GG Allin ever will. Yea he upholds an image, but it's anti-establishment and non-conformist image which is a good thing. Anyone who pays money to see an Iggy Pop wannabe who shits on stage is beyond stupid. That isn't art, that isn't creative, the isn't original. EVERYBODY prepares for an interview. And nice grammar, dumbass

  • @plqqqqqqqqqable Yea the Sex Pistols DEFINETELY complied with records companies, that's totally why EMI and A & M sacked them for being out of hand and beyond their control. Who the fuck likes GG Allin? aside from braindead trailer trash cripples who bitch and moan about society and the system and are too pussy to do anything about it? he didn't "represent" anything- he was a Nihilist, and a tool. The Sex Pistols still inspire youth around the world while people are defacating on GG's grave.

  • @elo333333333 Hmmm, some kind of conspiracy! WHAT ARE YOU THE GRAMMER LAW? I CAN SAY WHATEVER I WANT TO! If you want to understand something, you have to think about it. I dont have enough characters available on the post to explain to you. GG Allin was a HERO, he stood up for what he believed in, NOTHING got in his way. He was a better man than you or I will ever be. Thats what life is like when you stand up for what you believe in, in the modern world. NOT EVERY ONE BELIEVES AS I DO I KNOW pff

  • @plqqqqqqqqqable No, no, no, no, no, no, and no. He was a shitty musician and he was a shitty human being. He didn't believe in anything keep telling yourself that. He was a NIHILIST, a philistine. Theres no such thing as "heroes", that shit is only in your head. Oh and heroin got in his way. He didn't have any wisdom or intellectual traits in him, he rebelled against social values and conformity just for the fuck of rebelling against them, fuck GG Allin and fuck his fans.

  • @elo333333333 Thus the argument ends in the same manner all arguments end

  • @elo333333333

    Then GTFO if you don't like him.

  • @fullofglitterlust huh? are you on crack? when did i ever say that i don't like Johnny Rotten?

  • I like how he says "Infamous language? you're joking."

  • @FairiesFuckHumans lol you're a sad human being, queer. Im gonna write both of these comments on your wall for double ownage.

  • @FairiesFuckHumans lol i bet you're one of those retards who think that Black Metal is based on satanism. LOLOLOLOLOLOL tool. By the way i've never owned or purchased anything from abercrombie and douche so you must be severly retarded, misinformed or dumb. Probably all three. Or maybe you just shop at H & M with those scene faggots you call friends

  • @FairiesFuckHumans love you too <3, see you at hot topic.

  • "i speak nothing but the fucking English language, that's the only thing I'm being brought up with and if that's infamous...then...huhuhu...tou­gh shit"

    my favorite lines from Mr. Johnny Rotten...

  • What does he says about hippies? I can't understand

  • @crazybuggybarmy

    Mr. dude ~ "What do you want?"

    Mr. Rotten ~ "/Freedom/ I think they call it! The hippies used to call it that. But I bet there’s a better word for it."

  • @LookinForMoon

    Thank you :)

  • This is what I call a proper English Punk, he inspires me so much.

  • in a world were damn near everyone conforms and individuality is considered ''wrong '' or ''abnormal'' who but the Punks can restore order?

    that is the truth of it and as my second greatest inspiration in terms of Punk John Lyndon once said ''you don't like it then FUCK OFF!!''

  • such dumb fucking questions

  • 44 peole aren`t honest

  • @JoanJetski1 Damn right.

  • @FairiesFuckHumans now your using your big boy vocabulary to talk shit on my profile wall, YOU'RE SOOOOOO PUNK. Fact: People who go on about how Punk and "Real" they think they are are actually wannabes and posers who buy into an corperate manufactured image. So if anything, it's YOU whos the hot-topic tenny-bopper and your upset about that, so you troll on Sex Pistols videos. By the way nice name, did your husband come up with it?

  • Comment removed

  • @FairiesFuckHumans what you fail at being. It hurts doesn't it? it hurts knowing that you suck at everything you do and that im everything you wish you were doesn't it? For the past 2-3 pages you've been doing nothing but badmouthing a great band and bragging about how punk you are. Do us all a favor, why don't you get out of your trailer, hitch a ride to california, find out where johnny rotten lives and ask for what you want the most, his dick up your wide open ass.

  • @FairiesFuckHumans you suck at trying to be a hipster punk. Stop wasting my time.

  • @FairiesFuckHumans dumbass, really you are.

  • @FairiesFuckHumans You obviously didn't understand anything I said above, did you? It's your choice if you choose not to listen to the Sex Pistols, because they're not 'punk' enough for you. Great! It's just your opinion, nothing more than that. Everyone's got one! In fact, everyone here's got one. And many of them aren't the same as yours, so what I was asking you was if you could kindly fuck off and stop wasting your time on this video, seeing as you're not even a Johnny Rotten fan. Thank you!

  • @FairiesFuckHumans Define 'Punk' for me, please. It seems that you're overusing the term. Punk's a mindset, about expressing your individuality. You're not anymore 'punk' than anyone else. Honestly, you seem just as annoying as all those preps and goths scattered around my neighborhood, who call themselves 'true' preps or goths, and everyone else 'posers'. Punk's not about being cool and being above anyone else. Most 'true punks' I know don't even call themselves that. So fuck off

  • In a shitty mood about people fucking with you?! Watch this. Then turn around and kick the shit outta them.

  • @FairiesFuckHumans Wow calm down please. Why'd you even bother clicking on this video if all you're going to do is rant and try to start shit with people?

  • @dahouseizonfyre I love you. This thread is so funny because this other dude is just flipping shit and you're so cool about it. hahahaha

  • "Look at that, look at that rope!"

  • It is true

    He doesn't have a soul

  • @transformtheworld And why do you say that? I think that if some one didn't have a soul they would have no feelings. He is so passionate about everything he does. I think it would be ridiculous to say he didn't have one. He's angry about what he sees in Government and all that shit, and he said it right here: he wants freedom. And guess what? He's fighting for it. If that's having no soul, then (as he so kindly put it) tough shit.

  • @LookinForMoon

    Well he was pretty "meh" about everything, even when the Pistols broke up in San Francisco. He was more of a social ladder climbing opportunist then a musician. Not to take anything away from the Sex Pistols but they were the ones who showed that punk wasn't viable and that those involved were either self-destructive, revolutionary or radical, but that's a societal perception. Him not having a soul is more of a compliment, he advocated freedom despite his lack of musicianship.

  • @transformtheworld No, your wrong. Just because you can't see everyone's fucking emotions on their sleaves, doesn't mean they're there. Watch his interview on Sid's death. He takes off his punk face and shows his true side. And fuck off please. If you don't believe in punk, don't ruin those who do.

  • @LookinForMoon * doesn't mean they're not there* I reckon is what you mean. I never said I didn't believe in punk. Instead of arguing with you even more, I digress - Johnny Rotten was a punk rocker, he worked with what he had, emotional or logical rage is beyond the point. He was rad and I'm sure we can both agree on that. And I will watch that video. Maybe a punk fan like you would enjoy Please Kill Me... The Uncensored Oral History Of Punk, all quotes :)

  • @FairiesFuckHumans you're the biggest faggot ever

  • Psh i pick the sex pistols over ramones anyday ny punk my ass

  • Comment removed

  • Don't try and be clever and talk about stuff you obviously know nothing about. If you even had a slight awareness of punk then you would realise that american rock jumped the bandwagon for cash and fame

  • that interviewer is a bloody tosser

  • Punk was a NY scene that the British turned into a fashion show. John Lydon wasn't "punk" he was a fashion model. The Sex Pistols were N'SYNC with guitars and shitty clothes.

    John didn't get interesting until he started PiL.

  • @PostPunkFan funny you say that considering how almost all of the post-punk bands were influenced by the Sex Pistols.

  • @elo333333333 Oh there's NO QUESTION that they were highly influential. I consider that happenstance. They were at the right place at the right time. It was definitely an exciting and scene changing time. But the Sex Pistols were hardly the progenitors of punk. It was the Americans who started it. The NYers were a bit more grimy and less fashion-oriented. Plus Johnny Rotten boosted the torn shirt/safety pin idea from Richard Hell. Nothing about the UK scene was new. It was repackaged.

  • hahahah I don't give a shit what you think!

    that's so Johnny

  • DUTCH SUBTITLES!! YEAH!!

  • Everything Johnny Rotten says about me is only 'cause he loves me 'cause I'm so good. It's true. (Grins)... I'm not pleased at Johnny Rotten, who says all these nasty things about me. I know that he feels he has to because I'm, along with the Queen, you know, one of the best things England's got. - Mick Jagger

    what a fucking twat

  • LOL! Is he serious? :D best interview ever! ! xD

  • back in 1977 Jonny Rotten was indeed the rock n roll antichrist

  • ha!! i love it, his face when he says "i don't know that yet"

  • @ChristinaNew93 MEEEE TOO XD OW

  • John Lydon has to be one of the biggest fucking TWATS that ever walked the planet.

  • @Gulliver1229xD, he says "freedom, i think they call it, the hippies use to call it that!"

  • what does Johnny say right before "...they call it, the hippies use to call it that!" ?

  • @Gulliver1229xD "Freedom i think they call it"

  • @ChristinaNew93 ahh, yeah that makes sense now. thanks.

  • he is the coolest guy ever, and he is real. not fake

  • the best of the fucking best!

  • this interview rocks!

  • agree! this is truly something else! ain't afraid to say how it is! interviews nowadays sound so fake! it's time to see something like this out there!

  • How could someone living at that time say there was nothing new about punk? That kind of statement boggles the mind. It makes you wonder if they have any idea what the hell they're talking about, which that interviewer clearly did not. Just look at the music that was deemed acceptable at the time, the big pop acts, and then look at the sex pistols and you'll see what was fucking new about it . . . everything!

  • this man boosts my self-esteem...

  • @nhadz16 Couldn't agree more. This guy make me proud to be a human being. We need more people like him.

  • the best interview you can ever have is with Johnny...man, what an honesty!

  • If I would make a punk band, I'd call it The Fuckshits

  • @kozagong do it you can

  • @kozagong Go start a punkband!

  • Someone needs to get John on TWITTER!!

  • XD what an arse !

    Still love their music

  • ahhhhhhhhh <3 <3

  • hahaha "i dont know yet" hahah

  • This is really inspirational, really...

  • Now that's the old Johnny Rotten I loved as a kid in the 70's.

    Now Johnny is a bit of a clown, a performing monkey if you will?

    You still gotta love the old bloke! Genius of happenstance.

  • @panca00 dumb ass reporters lol you made my day.

  • The only problem with John Lydon is that although this fuck you, brutal honesty schtick was novel and hilarious in the '70s, he wore it thin and never gave it up. It was played out years ago.

  • @LortheBlair Disagree his "attitude" is more relevant now than ever before. Look at all the manufactured fake music thats out these days. X Factor, Britians got talent etc..

    Everybody saying what they're being told to say. No one has the guts to tell it as it is anymore for fear of losing popularity.

  • Watching interviews with old school John Lydon never fails to brighten my day. Funny shit.

  • "Punk was (was?) about being filled with hate..."

    This is a ridiculous, uniformed statement...Johnny states it all right here...Punk was and is about freedom...freedom from government, corporate and self-imposed repression. When he says "just leave me alone." He is NOT talking about getting no exposure in the media...he is talking about the right of privacy....a right that has been stripped of us in this modern society. You can't even fart anymore without the government knowing about it...

  • @Lochgelly1 You just saved me the trouble of saying what you just did, Right On!

  • thumbs up if you like SEX PISTOLS - JOHNNY ROTTEN INTERVIEW 1977

  • @sexykatie90 isn't that what pressing "like" on the video is for? lol

  • I do love Johnny but I would have liked to smack the shit out of him for putting down Zeppelin back then.

  • Gotta love him.

  • fucking brilliant.

  • @Scrumdidilyumpchious the thing is they shouted and they were heard by the world, including you, cuz if not you wouldnt be reading or watching the video ;D

    Ps. if you dont like punk...

    We dont give a shit XD

  • @Scrumdidilyumpchious the thing is theyre famous and your not, you'll die unremembered

  • he was smarter than people thought

  • Comment removed

  • @Boblican well, he's not making desicions of a smart man

  • @fede018 True , then say he isn't as stupid than people think he is .

  • I'm speechlees. I... I just love this. LOVE IT

  • BEST LINE (@ very end): Q:"There's nothing new about Punk, I think" A:"Well, you think wrong" Q:"What's new about Punk?" A:"I don't know. You just think wrong!"

  • BEST LINE (@ very end): "There's nothing new about Punk, I think" "Well, you think wrong" "What's new about Punk?" "I don't know. You just think wrong!"

  • 0:46 - 0:56 facial expressions and voice, omg haha

  • hahah best journalist shafting ever!!!!!!!!

  • Johnny Rotten is an example everyone should live off of

  • It amuses me that some people got their y-fronts in a turmoil over the butter ads. For fuck's sake he's always been commercialized. The pop group the Sex Pistols was created in much the same way as The Spice Girls and Steps!!

  • "i dont give a shit what you think" XD hahahaha

  • "Infamous language? You're joking. What language is that? I speak nothin' but the fuckin english language." god I love Johnny Rotten lmfaoo

  • I like his ideas but he delivers his points very poorly

  • @shrimpanzee001 Didn't you hera he doesn't give a shit about what you think

  • roy west

  • I like his philosophy

  • I love his fuckin cockney accent! I love this fuckin boy! MARRY ME JOHNNY!!!!

  • where's this from??

  • you people that have downvoted, you have downvoted a legend

  • so "fearless"eahh..oooh yeah?! A sick motherfucker er war nicht Fraulein?

  • Haha i dont give a shit what you think and he is telling the truth he doest want to shock people. He is being himself and give other people the oppertunity to listen to his opinion

  • 0:47 possessed by the devil..

  • @THEWORLD116 Not so, the Devil can have no claim on that kind of awesomeness. He's posessed by only the same things as Nehemiah was in chapter 13.

  • Fucking love that man ^
