Rotten TV - Episode one

[BrightRedSkullTV]

Role model of our channel

[InoluvGaara]

Johnny has really no respect for a dear friend he used to love staying with.

But Johnny is angry with Nancy, not with Sidney, or better he hated Sid when he chose Nancy instead of him and the band.

In my opinion, Johnny often wonders: " Why did you die? Nancy has caused your death. Not only because of heroin, also because of love. If Nancy had never existed, you'd probably still be with us. And I regret having never done anything really serious to make her leave you alone. "

Love Kills.

[whitestripes77]

He's so fucking right, I love him

[Unsatisfied17]

does anyone know where to find the video where hes backstage at the rosie o'donnell show and he gets thrown out....i remember seeing it like 2 years ago...ahhh i cant find it

[pUnKrOcKnINjAgAmEr]

@Unsatisfied17 It was the Rosanne Bar show.

[Unsatisfied17]

@pUnKrOcKnINjAgAmEr well dont i feel like an idiot now

[pUnKrOcKnINjAgAmEr]

@Unsatisfied17 ahhhh Don't worry about it. I remember that episode though.

[dirtygirlof76]

[PennyLane6383]

Lovin the use of "Socialist" under this

[sikkinixx82]

how many of you can say you did that? minus milatary action. he could by and sell or asses and choice to blow up shit to me thats pretty fuckin cool, it dont matter if it was a real note or not. you dont need to do any sherlock negative fuck ass shit here. just enjoy the video or fuck off.

[sydbarrett5]

I'm going to take a screen shot of this video, print it, get John Lydon to autograph it, and sell it on ebay for lots of money!

[ActionFigureSociety]

Johney rotten + a tank = :o

sweeeeeeeeeeet

[birdy47]

poor sid vicious

[matt78013]

god bless this man and god bless what he does

[hiimturkey2232]

thats not the real note. it wasnt lined and it had an irregular torn edge. the one lydon was holding was square and lined.

[ActionFigureSociety]

his thumbs and fingers are over the irregular tear....fuck your a thick headed moron.

[032450]

i just got my chatcam working!!! msg me on msn me jane22fall U

[Hughchewb]

too right, Fu**in meaningless drivel....Cher's boots cost a lot of money!! WHY, there just boots. people think they will be closer to their idols if they have a personal item of theirs, its insane.

if you had Elvis' guitar on your wall, it would only collect dust,

[Tasuja]

Really. VH1 doesn't seem to show the show anymore, are the made episodes available somewhere?

[ActionFigureSociety]

yeah...

MTV

[jnkmail09]

Johnny Rotten in a TANK! hahahahaha. That made my day!

[pupskopf]

I LOVE HIM

[LittleFirecracker93]

Does anyone know where i can find the rest of this episode? it's funny when he gets thrown off the rosanne barr show!

[Vicious777]

HELL YEAH!!!! Glad someone remembers that.

[Monysuperstar87]

mmmmh

[robochibi]

Youre wrong about the ultra pure heroin. The reason why Sid overdosed was because his tolerance was way down from being in jail and he miscalculated his dose.

[mariemonkey]

agree... as an ex junky, i totally understand what you mean

[tazzman560]

OMFG!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU!!!!

FIANNLYY!!!!!!!

some one who gets it!

im so sick of everyone blaming this and that

[SirGuttz]

That wasn't Sid's note, his cousin is in possesion of the note, and keeps it in Sid's old passport.

Lydon never had the note to begin with, it went from Anne Beverly, Sid's mother, to his cousin (probably after she died.).

Very valid point though.

[madMaddylovesGrayson]

Johnny Rotten is the coolest person ever, my one question-who let him have a tank?

[TheNorthPunk]

@madMaddylovesGrayson probaly someone that didn't knew him x'D

[ArchibaldClumpy]

This is the best statement that John Lydon ever made. It wasn't shocking - at least not in a juvenile sense - but he stood up to an institution and false commercialism. He's got an ironic sense of humor to boot.

[irocz0r]

YOU'RE IRRELEVANT.

[vangoghsear]

brillant and well done. *applauds*

[dsconce1]

well i have to agree with john that thier stuff is not important because honestly most of it is worth nothing. i dont think he realy needed to blow up the death note but hey he knew sid better then me so i guess he has the right to do what he wants with it

[A7Xforeveriluvzacky]

"its what these people have done thats important, not what they wore while doing it thats relevant."

SO true Johnny!!!

But I admit that when I saw that Sid Vicious deathnote being blow up, I almost had a heart attack!

Sid would understand, but I guess you gotta move on, eh?

[steffe689]

I would like him to lick the doll

[teenariffe]

if john lydon was a portrait he would be a fucking masterpeace, i dont think that note was real though he has his memories of sid if that was real i think he would have kept it. but sid was the coolest person who ever lived, plus he was a doll baby!

[1h8munny]

yeah-I dont think there was a suicide pact-possibly one of the EASIEST places to kill yourself would be in gaol. In my opinion Sid was murdered, he didnt kill himself, the heroin he took was 99%-you dont get stuff that strong unless someone wants you dead-and he got it as a gift from his mam

[InoluvGaara]

@1h8munny it was 90% pure and he used to take 6% pure

[nattkreatur]

Johnny loved Sid, it seems to me that the only thing Rotten is actually pissed about are all the people making money of him dying.

[absinthelover420]

because he hates it

Sid was basically his brother... if you watch anything from after sid did smack you can see the care in johnnys and the rest of the bands eyes.. I for one love johnny and sid not for fame, but for talent and way of thinking

[DuDWillEatYou]

sid had no talent at all...at least on the bass. most of the songs on the album wasnt even him playing, and when he did contribute on the album, his part was dubbed over

[psychodeathmonkey]

haha even live he was dubbed over. he had an image thats about it.....that and a drug problem

[birdy47]

he played saxophone (which is VERY hard) and drums, he only took so long at learning bass cos of Nancy Spungen

[DuDWillEatYou]

he was "playing" bass before he met nancy though.....

[birdy47]

no, he was learning bass, and he was making progress whith his bass skills, but then Nancy came along and even Steve Jones said ''after he met her and got hooked on heroin he didnt care about playing anymore'' but if you listen to some of the last Sex Pistol preformances he does play bass

[DuDWillEatYou]

well yes heroin would explain it...

:/

[IWobble66]

Sid never believed in anything because he did everything for image. That's not being mean - Johnny Rotten says that himself. Johnny loved Sid. He talks about it all that time. They were best friends and it makes him sad to see what happened, but you can't go around putting people on pedestals. The mistakes Sid made were stupid because he did them for attention - he wanted attention badly. And BTW, the Sid suicide note? A fake. There never was one. His mommy made it up.

[basque2112]

sid was a nice guy just mixed up with heroin most people that are mixed up with that drug are nice people just had some massive thing in their past or present is that the way to deal with it? no .I live in NYC and see alot of addicts at parks (Tompkins Lower Eastside) and I talk to them sometimes give them money or food and they all are such sweet people like sid just made bad decisions so talented and smart so these people aren'r losers or sore's on society they need our help

[Salemon9000]

hahahaha how great! :D

[scorpion2792]

Pretty much he was proving a point in a very good and in your face Johnny Rotten way. He destryed what some people would cherish, love, and spend loads of money on to prove that in the end it's worthless. He was proving that it's nothing more than just material possesions. None of them had meaning. That's why he called them stupid and irrelevent. Because that's exactly what they were. Oh and Sid was a fake. He just got in because that's what Malcom thought a punk should look like.

[Namellak]

Exactly. Living people and what they do to and with other people is what matter. To try and make money on dead peoples one time belonings is just another proof of the growing decadence of the Western Civilisation. Johnny is right. Destroy, erase, improve. That's Anarchy in a nutshell for you :)

[MisanthropicGen]

That's why Rotten, Vicious and the rest of the band and all of the other original bands HATED and HATE the "punk movement". The so-called "punk movement" isn't punk AT ALL: It's made by a bunch of fools APING the Pistols and trying to be offensive for the sake of it, kinda like yourself. Please disappear. I hate mohican-wearing brainless fools.

[eriksmoke]

Que huevos de cabrón.

Bis respect man, that's a the true punk spirit.

[MisanthropicGen]

You fucking idiot there is NO SUCH THING AS A TRUE PUNK SPIRIT OTHER THAN BEING YOURSELF! And since every TRUE individual is DIFFERENT than the rest, you cannot say "yes be offensive, that's punk". You complete moron.

[MisanthropicGen]

Come on Normie, I liked Sid, but Johh was his best mate. You should know better than to post such bollocks.

[Norman7283]

Hey Joe,the truth hurts, isn't it so?

P.s. Sid, you forgot to kick Rotten's ugly ass beforde you died! If you could only see him now, you'd be laughing your ass off!:-))

[Joe7666]

Norman fuck off!

[Norman7283]

Blowing up Sid's death note is just cheap. Rotten is just a jealous clown. Look at him in the jungle camp! Ha Ha! What a shame for one who calls himself an "anarchist"! Sid Vicious was an anarchist, he was pure. Rotten is fake. Hey John: "IT'S BETTER TO BURN OUT THAN TO FADE AWAY! You've missed your chance.... :-)))

[MisanthropicGen]

Why don't you fuck off and BURN instead of fading away you tool? I love how these idiots who idolize the whole "live fast die young" bollocks NEVER DO IT THEMSELVES. You ridiculous poser, you're so full of shit you can hardly walk.

[oizephyr14]

Um.. im sry man, but your one big dumbass. Sid was a really big fake after he joined the pistols and got to full of himself etc.

and when does lydon call himself an "anarchist" if ur talking about in "anarchy in the UK" he didn't mean it literally.

and how is "blowing up sid's death note" cheap.seriously. WHY is it of any value? if i sound real stupid, then sry. But i really don;t get it.

[Norman7283]

"...and how is "blowing up sid's death note" cheap.seriously. WHY is it of any value?"

Because someone wrote it just before he died. And no matter what Sid was or not was, he was a human beeing and as such at least should be treadet with some kind of respect.

[bapyou]

YOU, Norman7283, you missed the whole fucking point of this clip! It's what Sid or any other rocker DID that made them important. Go it?

[oizephyr14]

so its all just sentimental shyt.

[AntisocialGhost]

John knew Sid better than any of us. He loved him, he was his best mate. And a death note means nothing, as John said, Sid would have found it silly himself if he was alive now. Whoever thinks John has no respect for Sid, got it all wrong, very wrong.

[AntisocialGhost]

Sid wasn't a fake, just naive. He was a very sweet person who never knew his father and had a junkie for a mother. He doesn't deserve you slagging him off so cruelly. He truly was a fan of the Pistols before he joined them and truly believe in the change they were about to bring. Good-hearted people must be respected, not slagged off even if they make mistakes. Because they mean good.

[fuktheusa]

My six year old son has just seen this & laughed his head off. It's excellent stuff!

[MisanthropicGen]

The unbelievably ignorant and stupid comments about what "anarchy" is make me cringe. Read some Proudhon, Bakunin, Kropotkin, Malatesta, Stirner (my personal favourite, and he didn't even call himself an anarchist, and neither do I call myself one) and while you're at it, read also some books about the history of the anarchist movement. If you do, you will realize how STUPID and IGNORANT you ALL are. BAH BOOYAS to you all.

[MisanthropicGen]

If you don't like him, then why are you even posting on here? You sad wanker with no life. Lydon is a genius indeed, what he did with Pil and as a solo artist is simply brilliant, he played and recorded with Afrika Bambataa, Steve Vai and Leftfield, he's a very eclectic musician and an incredibly smart person. You're a worthless moron with no life trying to compensate for your inferiority complexes by slagging people on youtube. Please die, you're wasting my oxygen.

[exobscura]

more like BAH BAH. sheep.

[instorebox]

both posts quite poetic for a 27 yr old

[sherrieganly]

sorry that was directed at AntiShitle.

[sherrieganly]

you mean we have not been BRAIN WASHED bye a fucked system.

if you want to settle for that shit you do it ont say we have not been educated we have taken in whats useful and spat out everything that isnt relevent.

get fucked.

[werewolfbynightXP]

anarchy is a very temporary state that eventually leads to feudalism, than eventually to a monarchy,or some other form of government. anarchy never lasts and people eventually accept government of some kind in time.the sex pistols represented a situational state of chaos in rebellion against,bland consumer culture and media, and a flawed government, they werent specific anarchists. am I wrong?

[timKXF]

why is there always a smart ass that has to make a geek ass comment?

[CreepyZan]

Ironic thing is, now that they've been blown up by that Rotten little fucka' I bet each bit is worth loads more.

[doom876]

I really dont think the look makes the person, I like how my cloths look, they dont really look punky or anything, just simple and comfertable, and the cote makes me feel sucure because I have some social problems...not like"oh, waa waa, everyone hates me", I have had them since I was little and couldn't take the noise in the classroom and other stuff.

[scallywag86]

he came here telling everyone they were stupid for believing in something. I do agree Anarchy is not a good thing but told him not to be a dick about it and they`d find out in time

fair reply if you ask me...

[scallywag86]

what the hell are you talking about?

[qfzcw0xq]

don't equalise anarchism with fascism and nacizem. Most people don't know that an Anarchistictic system is actually the best and friendliest a nation can have it is just difficult to realise it in action because just one power hungry individual can destroy it so impossible at least at the moment

[doom876]

You have said one of THE smartest things I have heard not said by johnny rotten(though I dont agree with all he says, it's all smart). Sad people are so greedy and evil that anarchy cant work.

[slapiscool]

Lol, anarchists don't know that it's just a product of ignorance and produces disorder, nothing can stop the state because is the most perfect unperfect system, you anarchists pathetically wish to return to the stone age, most of anarchists are from 3rd world countries, because they have no education. Thanks god not everybody is stupid to belive in an utopic idea and destroy what we've won,anarchism is like communism but disorganized.

pd:when you get older you'll stop believing in that shit.

[doom876]

You are sure on your high horse. It cant be perfect and imperfect, and it's not "it", it's "they", people have no right to controll others as the state does. You are probably a government puppet like my health teacher. I'de rather run the risk of being shot then be controlled like that.

[slapiscool]

You don't have any clue about this, have you?... NO.

It's not controll, it's control, an im argentinian, spanish talking country ;)

Your ideology simply shows your inmaturity, at least you'll forget this crap in a few years.

Im not a "puppet" you're a commie puppet indeed, same shit different package. Don't worry my friend, you're just loosing your life and your time, i prefer to enjoy it.

bye.

[doom876]

You had to reduce yourself to correcting my spelling? You really are a fool. First, you dont know how I thik, and I do not and will not drop my beliefes. Communism is FAR differant from anarchism. Communism the state controlls everything, what you eay, your pay, everything to make everyone the same which in teory should make a middle class utopia; it wont work because power corrupts. continueing in next reply...

[doom876]

I like anarchism because, first it's the way nature intended it, small self rueling groups/induviduals, not a few burocrats at the top with all of the power, and I think that most people could handel it.I'de rather risk life and limb in an anarchistic world, then have a leash healed by the state on my neck. You are an ignorant fool supporting facism. It's people like you that make me lack faith in the human race.

[scallywag86]

well it`s true...yes. Somalia is an example of anarchy but you don`t have to be a dick about it. The only way a person can truly believe something is by experiencing it themselves...or brainwash. Nobody is going to see a comment on youtube and say "Oh shit! I`m going to change my belief system based on this!"

[SoakyBeaver]

Hahahah, lovely. Lydon is absolutely right.

[teenariffe]

its so right. rock cant be bought..

[shampistol]

i still think hes right..

[xxjassxx]

ohh wonder if he really did blow the note up or not :S

[disReg]

fucksake!!! im sick of hearing the stupidest things that people say about the sex pistols....SHUT THE FUCK UP!! IF YOU DONT KNOW OR CANT BE BOTHERED TO LOOK AT ALL THE EVIDENCE DO NOT JUDGE THEM

[slapiscool]

Johnny wasn't a nazi, neither an anarchist, Crass were anarchists, one thing is singing about it and doing a "filthy lucre" tour, and the other is putting it in practice. Pistols were capitalists, and that's great, that shows us that they weren't stupid at all, if they made music, they can sell it.Fuck the queen, fuck my president, fuck everything, god save the Sex Pistols!.

[doom876]

M akes me wonder why there was anarchy in the UK, and by their lack of wanting to be controlled as a socialist system would do, I highly doubt they were/are socialist(close to comunism, no free market).

[BruceCSnow]

He admitted in a subsequent interview that the didn't really blow up the note.

[makky123]

shit that beatles ticket is worth 2.5 grand ...oh well godd on ya johnny

[Luxtar1980]

Right on! It IS ridiculous how people will pay loads of money for such crap

[concretecoke]

jhg

[ppope]

anti flag fake nazi facsist. BE YOUR FUCKING SELF, DONT FOLLOW THE CROWD THATS WHY PUNK DIED BECAUSE OF IDIOTS LIKE YOU

[lynottlives]

listen fag, he was'nt a nazi facsist? he was the complete oppisate of a fasist...he was an anarchist...which is similer to a communist...so i dont have a clue what your talking about...and he's right to be anti flag! the fucking queen has never done anything for working class britan

[shampistol]

erm..you know that johnny rotten was a punk in his 20ties and that hes now over 50?..no?..kay..just asking..

[doom876]

He doesn't like lables, and I sypathize...I hate being labled goth for wearing alot of black, waist of time lables are. Though, for music and him, I will say that if you say johnny aint punk, you're dumb as fuck.

[slapiscool]

You're not goth if you wear all time black clothes, you just copy the punk fashion because you aren't creative, simple.

[doom876]

I whear all black...well, black shorts and a blue and black plad flannel, and have alot of black(ok, reaaly dark grey, but close enough)shirts. I dont care if it's punk, I like it, I'll wear it, I like my dog collar too. It's cool in my oppinion, fuck if it's a copy or not, I dont care as long as I like it.

[shampistol]

ok myroncope you need to watch your bloody mouth you sound like an anti-flag like cooperative whore to me

[myroncope]

"It was what these people have done that was relevant"

So heroin is relevant?

[CapriceK]

idiot, you know he didn't mean that.

[myroncope]

if he was really punk he'd attack a hard rock cafe with some rpgs

[dgodiex]

haaaaaaaa! love you john..

this world needs more Lydons!

[eyelinerx]

dude, he is so fucking right! when he pulled out sids letter i almost died..but then he said it plain and simple "it's what these people have done that is relivenat, not what they wore while doing it" and it was all good.

[cheesewith2es]

hes so awesome

[pw3uk]

I find it incredible that some people only figure this out because Lydon or some other known figure says so. Many individuals have been saying this for years. Catch up!

[blackbarro]

johns fynnu... but his points stupid.... they wouldnt have done it witout wearing what they did.... thats the point of the memorabilia

[akason14]

This is awesome! The death note was most likely a forgery. But still blowing shit up is especially entetaining and funny. I love the part with the Grateful Dead underwear when he calls it filth. Haha.

[XCaptainJohnnyX]

This is amazing, AFTER watching him talk about how stupid it is to worship some old possesions you still get some dumb dushebag DexterPunks talking about stealing Sid Viciouses jacket from the hard rock cafe display.

[LoodyShaq]

that was a blast! :D i love this guy!

[SexPistolsLvrxX]

lmao that was  funny. i love johnny

[LilithFury]

Wow johnny is still hot as always

[cindy369]

awesome point.. and hmm yeah i agree it was a forgery- cause it DID look different. oh well- john's still amazing :]

[xn17]

he's so right, wow, that was cool

[Sirbestonen]

John Lydon is so cool.

[ylais]

Right on Johhny!

[calereed]

fuckin' a to that part.2

[MarkArandjus]

FOCKIN A! FOCK-IN A! Jus5 show how truly anti-materials anarcho-punks were! That's FIght club for ya! Shit, imagina how much money that deathnote's worth...hehe...DISTROY!EXTERMI­NATE!OI OI OI!

[huge1234]

rotten for prime minister

[nugganuche]

im a big fan of lydon and the pistols but the note he had was a fake or copy. the original was torn on bottom right and the one john had was squared edged. good point though.

[carlychalmers]

yeh i supose but dat was not the bottom part dat was da top part e were readin!!!

[huge1234]

yeh i didnt see that

[calereed]

fuck punk culture.hail, sir John Lydon.

[scallywag86]

fuckin a to that!

[BigDummy23]

Thats an M7 "Priest" self propelled howitzer from World War II

[zombifiedrat]

He hasnt changed one bit, fucking bad ass

[JxDanger]

Fuck yeah

[cirkleofdarkness]

No Future

[BigPUTZ]

ISNT THAT THE LADY FROM THE PLASMACTICS?

[bartolomeo1981]

Rotten for president

[scallywag86]

the man makes a good point. People who pay huge money for shit like this probably pay huge for pictures of celebrity babies.

[Nematode]

He's totally right.

[IDPRobinHood]

I liked the point of this... and plus blowing shit up is always good

[TheEndAsWeKnowIt]

Right fucking on, Lydon.

[Comradesnowball]

Nice one Jhonny!

[xpunkyjunkyx]

he was totally right to blow up that stuff including the note,why had they kept that note safe when no one knows where his remains actually are ?

[IDPRobinHood]

no one knows where his remins are??? so he could still be alive!?

[slimwilson]

that's cause he got cremated

[belsenghost]

Wasn't he buried with nancy?

[eve1213]

nope theres a story that his mother spilt his ashes in heathrow airport

[lostfeeshes]

MissTiffee is right.

I love this video. John is amazing

[MissTiffee]

John Lydon was one of Sid vicious BEST friends... for that note to be around was a constant reminder to John of what Sid did... He totally forgot about everyone else... Sid did including John. all Sid cared about in the end was drugs and Nancy. I applaud John for blowing that piece of fucking paper up.

[drktranquillity666]

John does make alot odf sense: the part about a bands reputation being based on what they did, not what they wore while doing it. But to blow up his long gone bassists (sidney's) suicide note is just fucking wrong

[MissTiffee]

John was one of Sids' best friends and tried EVERYTHING To help Sid kick Heroine and Nancy. For him that letter represented losing one of his best buds..a constant reminder.. yes for him it was a rite of passage.. Good for him that he eliminated it.

[GrehamAdelphis]

Nice point. Never really thought of that.

[MissTiffee]

HOLY FUCKING SHIT... DAMN RIGHT ON..

[zerocool1432]

Come on, i know he hated sid and nancy but f-cking blow up his death note, i like sid thats just wrong. but the rest was entertaining...

[cirkleofdarkness]

He hated Nancy. Sid was his mate.

[12Zwolf]

Thank you for placing the truth.

OY! Why would John Simon Ritchie sign that note with his stage name?

'Nancy Slag' used John Simon Ritchie as a money source for her opiate/cocaine addiction.

Valkyrie Sieg Mourne

[DexterPunk]

Sids jacket is on display at the Hard Rock cafe in Melbourne.. it should be f-ing stolen.

[BaronM]

Johnny is obnoxious, old, bitter, and an ass. But at least he ain't boring ...

[basilcruncher]

nice one johnny!

[5w1ff3r]

BIG PUNX

[lewcr3w]

HAHAHAHAHA BRILL!!

[PinkCashmere]

He makes such a great point.

[eddie1988]

He's so right!!!
