I remember me and my mum watching Kate Bush for the first time on tv back in 77 doing Wuthering Heights, We were creased up with laughter wondering what the hell is this, A few days later my mum was hooked and went out and bought the single and played it endlessly.
@MrSHAJW Lydon a "less talented" version of Billy Idol. Hilarious! Idol spent the first part of his career wanting to be Lydon, the latter part a laughable MTV-friendly parody. All of his work combined barely compares with a single track from Never Mind the Bollocks.
@mrsnarfadoodle Agreed, I've always thought he was an even less talentless version of Billy Idol who hid behind his ''Ooh,nothing is serious'' façade whenever he was challenged....but it appears the guy really can appreciate some quality after all .
As for Kate, I'm still looking for words to describe her,I know the feelings but I can't get them out into print. :-)
One thing you've got to hand to Johnny is he's been the most honest, open, free spoken man within the music buisness. & Kate Bush is absolutley amazing man..
he's hid this side of him for far tooo long ... its endearing ... i cudnt find him endearing at all in his youth which drove me mad but boyy did he hide a lot of himself from the world when he was young in the name of total anarchy i spose ....
hold on wasnt anarchy going on around 1977.........things have moved on.....people move on...........he can do what he likes...............now thats being a rebel
I really hate it when people say someone famous is selling out just because they do an ad for something like butter...or sanitary products. They have to earn a buck just like everyone else & it makes things so much more appealing when you put a famous face to it.
Everyday for 34 years now, a bummed teenage kid is discovering that Pistols album and their lives change upon impact from that first chord of Holiday In the Sun.

I remember in the late 1980s on Dutch radio (VPRO) an interviewer was trying to bait John Lydon by trashing Kate Bush and other supposedly sappy music. Lydon got mad and walked out. The interviewer had no clue why.
His contribution in the 70s is still important because all the problems he addresses haven't been dealt with yet. The reason people keep turning to him is because no one these days everything that is new becomes decadant far sooner than punk did. Pistols may have been short lived but bands like The Clash continued to carry the mantle afterwards. Look at rap, which had all the rage of the underground but is now synonmous with materialism. Something that isn't corrupted needs to take over again.
But I mean we can go on pretending their music broke barriers which improved the world, but they were simply part of a genre which did it, they were the iconic band of the genre, but still just cogs in the machine. I agree, he shouldn't be selling butter, because him selling butter, is the pictorial evidence that he has sold out. One minute he claims he cares not for money or fame, next minute he's selling us stuff to get his face on telly. WTF?
@vambo23 Now you obviously know nothing about Lydon, based on that sarcastic comment. Lydon was always very outspoken against 'celebrities' sticking their faces to products to help boost their own popularity, as well as doing anything aimed at the public that isn't your own and meaningful, and now, he's done this, that's why me and other peeps are annoyed, because he's completely full of shit. So stop trying to be a smart arse...because that could take years.
@shanustheanus Find me a quote from John regarding him being against advertising. Because I have watched, read and listened to countless interviews and I've never even heard him speak about it. Also, I totally respect the fact that he is supporting a British company, given that there aren't many left. He isn't doing advertising work for some huge corporate empire, but is actually advertising a comparatively small franchise.
@vambo23 For someone whose whole career, image, personality was based on being anti-establishment/anti-consumerism/anti-celebrity, selling butter on TV is a pretty big crime I'd say XD
@4FootLockerCENTRAL Yeah, 'Johnny Rotten' couldn't do anything other than this to raise money could he? I mean after all, how is one of the most famous Brits ever going to find an alternative, as I have said before, I don't give a damn if people do some adverts and use their profile to make more money, it's an obvious thing to do. And common sense. However, the man has publicly said he hates these people, now he is one of them, that was my point. Find a brain, before you call someone an idiot.
@theonlyantony Right from what was readable of that gobbledegook, i have deciphered that you think i don't like 18 year olds?

@shanustheanus fuck that i hate when people say they WERE the band of the genre NO THEY WERN'T THE CLASH were not just a better band they changed peoples lives for the better and lydon has sold out big time today with them shitty butter adverts.

@shanustheanus I disagree with that. He's almost as famous as you can get. I bet if you asked any random person if they knew who Johnny Rotten is, they would say yes...if they don't know who he is they would have heard of him.
Sex Pistol albums are still being bought around the world, and songs being payed on the radio. There is no chance he's sold out.
@tmjt93 I'm sorry, what does the fact that everyone knows his name got to do with him NOT selling out, how does that make any sense? Surely you're half way to proving the opposite there.
Lydon is ace, but he made a daft move, that's all I was trying to say, so can people please stop getting involved this conversation is extremely tiring.
@shanustheanus - Indeed John Lydon DID do the butter ads for money... he freely admits it. But what was the money for? He used it to fund a PiL tour and to go towards the recording of new material. And exactly what does, 'selling out' entail? Paul Weller once said that he could stand on a street corner giving millions away a fiver at a time. That would achieve what exactly? Principles HAVE to equate to poverty, do they? And do you know where the Lydon money is spent/donated? Didn't think so...

@vambo23 Really? Hasn't it been like 30 years since he did anything worth mentioning? I love the Sex Pistols and I always will. But now I see it for what it really was: not anythying to be taken seriously. Punk is a farce and I'm glad John Lydon has revealed this to me. Henry Rollins has managed to evolve and retain some credibility. John Lydon is just an old clown, an empty shell with funny hair.
@MrSeventhElement.... Yeah, really. I don't think you see it for what it really is/was at all. You are wrong, wrong, wrong. Henry Rollins is shite (de-evolved, more like). Now fuck off and go play with your toy tanks you knob-shiner.
@MrSeventhElement lmao, if you think johnny is a clown then you are living in some mental home, most tv shows are afraid to have him on because he shows them up for the fools most of them are, period.
@janaherde she already did two after that, "director's cut", which is basically reinterpretations of older songs, and "50 words for snow" which has just been released and its one of their best, IMO!
I thought this was going to be him trashing her. I'm surprised and glad I was wrong. I grew up loving Public Image and the Pistols, but I was all prepared to be annoyed at him. Good job, Lydon, surprising us again.
...........well I think it makes sense he having a respect for her work and creativity, and individuality. She is clever, has written songs with meaning, and love her or hate her, there really is just one Kate Bush. Personally I love kate, and am also a fan of the pistols and pil.
Not bad. But, remember that his on duty, he's working, so: saying something for money. It has to sell. If not, he is unemployed. That is worse. He knows that. Thats why the guilty is always somebody else. Perhaps somebody earrnin more than he is? ;-)
I:m just joking, he's swell boy. Used to laugh a lot together.
can someone transcript what he said between 1:03 to 1:16? I speak spanish and can't understand that part. Thanks for posting this. John Lydon is my one and only IDOL for many many many reasons. Thanks!

Yeah, John loves individuals. So no surprise he likes Kate Bush. Nico, Captain Beefheart, Peter Hamill, Pretty Things are all musical acts that John has loved.
From what I understand, John has praised a lot of disparate musicians over the years:
Not only Kate Bush, but Can, Abba, Hawkwind and Alice Cooper and many others have earned his praise over the years. He also used to be a big reggae fan.
"To me all music is knowledge. People giving you an insight into how they perceive the world. When they get their insight correct and clear, and I’m learning something from it, I love it. And that doesn’t matter what format that comes from. The concept of listening to nothing but punk music is not punk.Not at all.You couldn’t be further from a punk if that’s your modus operandi.... We were looking for the right answers not the convenient ones; and hence we are not Parker Posies." - J. Lydon

It's interesting, that most wannabe anarchists wouldn't have the nerve to say they like Kate Bush (or whatever the current equivalent is ).Whatever you think about him,he's one of the very few people who have done their own version of life on this planet. Even doing the butter advert seems to be on his terms.(although Anarchy in the UK hasn't sounded the same since! )
@Dane3001 Those wannabe anarchists aren't fit to lick his booties. I don't care what he does now.....30 years ago he changes the world and that's good enough for me!
@vambo23 John Lydon isn't a "real" anarchist in the political sense, and he doesn't want lawlessness. He just doesn't like strict conformity and unecessary rules, and he speaks his mind. I like that the only image he's ever had is being himself. He has changed a lot since he was younger. He was suspicious of journalists and quiet. Today they can't stop him talking. He has grown to be very confident of himself and everybody listen to him now.
@Dane3001 lol what a moron what has anarchism got to do with preference in art or the literature you read or the music you listen to that's like saying liberals wont have the nerve to eat lamb lol
It funny he should say that about a bag of cats, when I used to listen to Kate as a teenager my Grannie used to say she sounded like a hyena, sorry Kate Grannie didn't appreciate you.
@pianoman1237 He has matured. That's the only reason. When I was young I had my favourite groups and "hated" the rest. Today at 40 my taste is much broader. John wasn't "wrong" when he 30 years ago only liked "his own stuff, Iggy Pop and Reggae", he was honest. You change with time, and you're still yourself.
@pianoman1237 I think that anyone should like Kate's music. Because she really knows what she is doing and she really is touching people's hearts. And in the music 'business' that is either rare, or it doesn't happen at all, so I guess that's why he hates mainstream music.
Johnny has always been not a little ironic, not a little heavy-handed about his own self-promotion. It's nice to see him showing his appreciation for Kate. I've taken the time because I've loved his ground-breaking music and his willingness to take risks earlier on. That he's made a career of it, well, can you blame him?
WOW! I have always appreciated both of these artists and to hear Lydon saying things I know were in my mind but had not been touched impressed upon me the talents of them both, disparate as they may be.
...and if you really want to bitch me out about my musical taste or whatever, feel free to pm me. I never really intended things to get this far on a video post that pertains to something else entirely, but we were just having so much fun and got carried away. Sorry folks.
That doesn't neccessarily point out I was talking about his compositional skills, either. Which I wasn't getting at anyway. You just need a convenient excuse to knit pick, just because you felt I was picking on Cobain. Which is fine, just "you're full of shit", ain't a good musical discussion approach I think.
Also, I never really did clearly specify to the gent I was replying to ,what I meant. My bad. Was I talking about, vocal talent or compositional ability? Now, take a deep breath and please pay attention. I meant his voice. Lydon here, talks about Bush's voice. I really meant that. I can't be more clearer than that, dear.
Lazy? Really? How would you know, what I've listened to? I'll bet I probably have more eclectic musical tastes than you. To be frank, I spent my time listening to jazz and avant-gardy type stuff than the grunge stuff really, in the nineties. That and psych-progressive, and some metal here and there. Lots of Can and Velvet Underground, Swans, Stockhausen, Varise. Not that you'd care. Just don't accuse me of being lazy as far as music goes.
As for musical taste, surely you aren't going to accuse of someone having bad taste just because they don't like someone as much as YOU like it are ya? I thought his voice was so-so borderline annoying. I heard the albums, I gave them a chance. Liked some, some not so much. They weren't the be all end all in so-called alternative for me. Rather, dug My Bloody Valentine though at the time. Still do.
Deleted ,spammed, whatever, it's not here anymore. Boy band? Never said they were a boy band Lil' Miss Reactionary and I'm not going to apologize to some reactionary twit who can't have a decent musical discussion without resorting to insults. Instead of asking why I had those points of view you had to start off hollering and whining about my points of view. Go cry on someone else's shoulder. You probably weren't around when Bleach first came out.
Hello, it's me again, OVERTHEMOUNTAINS' comment I was replying to. Since been deleted, although he had your boy's band as a favorite. I thought I'd take the time and look for his comment, but it's gone. So my old comment is not necessarily applicable anymore, so just ignore it. It was directed at HIM anyway.
and my reply WAS bout his voice. I was replying to someone who made a statement about Bush's singing, I didn't don't think Cobain was a great vocal talent, but it worked for his tunes. WHERE in my statement did you find criticism about his song writing.? You Nirvana fans are so damn reactionary. It's just music, not the bible.
Oh, boo fucking hoo, you act like I trampled your sacred cow. Relax, not EVERYBODY is or was an admirer of your cow so crawl off to the pasture and mope there.
Thought Johnny said music isn't about touching people's hearts.. said he didn't give a @# about what people thought of music, and that is not why we make music.. hmm,, we are an enigma. Enigmatic. One word to describe you.
I remember me and my mum watching Kate Bush for the first time on tv back in 77 doing Wuthering Heights, We were creased up with laughter wondering what the hell is this, A few days later my mum was hooked and went out and bought the single and played it endlessly.

Lydon is ace, but he made a daft move, that's all I was trying to say, so can people please stop getting involved this conversation is extremely tiring.

@shanustheanus - Indeed John Lydon DID do the butter ads for money... he freely admits it. But what was the money for? He used it to fund a PiL tour and to go towards the recording of new material. And exactly what does, 'selling out' entail? Paul Weller once said that he could stand on a street corner giving millions away a fiver at a time. That would achieve what exactly? Principles HAVE to equate to poverty, do they? And do you know where the Lydon money is spent/donated? Didn't think so...

@vambo23 Really? Hasn't it been like 30 years since he did anything worth mentioning? I love the Sex Pistols and I always will. But now I see it for what it really was: not anythying to be taken seriously. Punk is a farce and I'm glad John Lydon has revealed this to me. Henry Rollins has managed to evolve and retain some credibility. John Lydon is just an old clown, an empty shell with funny hair.

I thought this was going to be him trashing her. I'm surprised and glad I was wrong. I grew up loving Public Image and the Pistols, but I was all prepared to be annoyed at him. Good job, Lydon, surprising us again.

It's interesting, that most wannabe anarchists wouldn't have the nerve to say they like Kate Bush (or whatever the current equivalent is ).Whatever you think about him,he's one of the very few people who have done their own version of life on this planet. Even doing the butter advert seems to be on his terms.(although Anarchy in the UK hasn't sounded the same since! )

@vambo23 John Lydon isn't a "real" anarchist in the political sense, and he doesn't want lawlessness. He just doesn't like strict conformity and unecessary rules, and he speaks his mind. I like that the only image he's ever had is being himself. He has changed a lot since he was younger. He was suspicious of journalists and quiet. Today they can't stop him talking. He has grown to be very confident of himself and everybody listen to him now.

@pianoman1237 He has matured. That's the only reason. When I was young I had my favourite groups and "hated" the rest. Today at 40 my taste is much broader. John wasn't "wrong" when he 30 years ago only liked "his own stuff, Iggy Pop and Reggae", he was honest. You change with time, and you're still yourself.
spajdude 1 year ago 2
@pianoman1237 I think that anyone should like Kate's music. Because she really knows what she is doing and she really is touching people's hearts. And in the music 'business' that is either rare, or it doesn't happen at all, so I guess that's why he hates mainstream music.

swans1997 2 years ago
YOU CRITICISED HIS TALENT AND HIS MELODIC SENSE,
That doesn't neccessarily point out I was talking about his compositional skills, either. Which I wasn't getting at anyway. You just need a convenient excuse to knit pick, just because you felt I was picking on Cobain. Which is fine, just "you're full of shit", ain't a good musical discussion approach I think.
swans1997 2 years ago
Also, I never really did clearly specify to the gent I was replying to ,what I meant. My bad. Was I talking about, vocal talent or compositional ability? Now, take a deep breath and please pay attention. I meant his voice. Lydon here, talks about Bush's voice. I really meant that. I can't be more clearer than that, dear.
swans1997 2 years ago
Lazy? Really? How would you know, what I've listened to? I'll bet I probably have more eclectic musical tastes than you. To be frank, I spent my time listening to jazz and avant-gardy type stuff than the grunge stuff really, in the nineties. That and psych-progressive, and some metal here and there. Lots of Can and Velvet Underground, Swans, Stockhausen, Varise. Not that you'd care. Just don't accuse me of being lazy as far as music goes.
swans1997 2 years ago
As for musical taste, surely you aren't going to accuse of someone having bad taste just because they don't like someone as much as YOU like it are ya? I thought his voice was so-so borderline annoying. I heard the albums, I gave them a chance. Liked some, some not so much. They weren't the be all end all in so-called alternative for me. Rather, dug My Bloody Valentine though at the time. Still do.
swans1997 2 years ago
Deleted ,spammed, whatever, it's not here anymore. Boy band? Never said they were a boy band Lil' Miss Reactionary and I'm not going to apologize to some reactionary twit who can't have a decent musical discussion without resorting to insults. Instead of asking why I had those points of view you had to start off hollering and whining about my points of view. Go cry on someone else's shoulder. You probably weren't around when Bleach first came out.

Hello, it's me again, OVERTHEMOUNTAINS' comment I was replying to. Since been deleted, although he had your boy's band as a favorite. I thought I'd take the time and look for his comment, but it's gone. So my old comment is not necessarily applicable anymore, so just ignore it. It was directed at HIM anyway.
swans1997 2 years ago
and my reply WAS bout his voice. I was replying to someone who made a statement about Bush's singing, I didn't don't think Cobain was a great vocal talent, but it worked for his tunes. WHERE in my statement did you find criticism about his song writing.? You Nirvana fans are so damn reactionary. It's just music, not the bible.
