I'm a budding music journo, and I have to say all I feel like doing now is watching JJ Jackson interviews, this man has a superior method for sure. PiL is one of my favourite bands and I think even I would've gotten frustrated during this. But he never did.

[backinburntcity]

Great interview. "In a Western society, the only way you can really be free is to be wealthy. And you can be free to be a complete ass or you can be free to do wonderful things." What an intelligent man JJ Jackson was. Never seen Johnny so pleasant, and that must be why!

it's a very surprising interview as they both seem relaxed and happy. both versions of 'c.zone' were really disappointing but far better than what came next.

"Do you remember how we first met?" Haha. What a shame it all fell apart soon after this..

[simmy3000]

So Keith, what happened to all these ideas? what a disappointment, he went into obscurity not long after this interview, shame he only talked the talk, he seemed to be the real ideas man behind the early (good) PIL

[PostPunkFan]

Awesome interview.

[invictorium]

does anyone know the name of the band who said 'style and image are more important'????

[Reint25]

@invictorium Just a guess, but I think it was something like either Culture Club (were they already known in 1982?), Duran Duran or Spandau Ballet.

[invictorium]

@Reint25 cheers for that

[NewYorkCanWait]

I think Keith was smacked out on Heroine at this point...

[MisAnnThorpe]

@NewYorkCanWait You can tell quite clearly from the timbre of his voice. He's definitely on heroin here.

[NewYorkCanWait]

@MisAnnThorpe Yeah, it's a shame as well, worked well with Johnny, I think that was the reason he got evicted from PIL too...

@iMurderGlobal Hey Mr Levene How are you? god bless you.

[MOSTechnology]

Makes me laugh how the camera stays zoomed on Lydon for a good ten seconds after Levene has started talking. Sometimes staying on Lydon. Soon as Lydon starts talking Pow! camera zooms riiight in! lol

[Smurchison]

nodding and some shit. lmfao amazing

Thanks for uploading

It's hard to believe they went from being pretty much on the same page in this interview to the nasty falling out they had soon afterwards.

[katoness]

Lydon very true to himself and honest. Thirty years later from this and you see him being interviewed he hasn't changed very much. A true legend.

[ElectricLabel]

Excellent footage. I agree, it's great to witness the vibe between the two of them, and so soon before the bust-up.
