[Steelwheels591]

Loved his comment about Deep Purple!



[pelimies25sents]

[Ali74]

Witty bastard is Johnny

[outrightrocker]

Ed Sheeran at 1:25

[velovera]

They were just asking for it, putting delicate roses out when you're going to interview Johnny Rotten.

[MaynardJamesKeenanJr]

Johnny Rotten = Biggest Sellout In Music History

[erascope]

my mind is blank ©

[whoami7721]

John comes off as arrogant because he speaks his mind and is completely honest, unlike every other rock star or celebrity out there. He refuses to brown-nose or butter up any band or person, and is unafraid to be hated for his views. On Deep Purple: I thought we buried that lot years ago. Brilliant!

[punkrocker6791]

He is inteligent man, he is not a fool, you can learn a lot good and also interesting thing and make your life better, and best thing is don't be someone else copy, be you, it's best for you and other people

[xDIStructorx]

@punkrocker6791

well, he completely copied richard hell's look 

[kren2012]

All Johnny Rotten is missing is a red clown nose and a rubber chicken to match his hair and jacket.

[MBloodninja1]

at the end of the video the reporter is looks like she wants to sayWTF IS WRONG WITH YOU?

[MBloodninja1]

haha i love his attitude

[kren2012]

What a retard. I bet he sits at home commenting on his own videos and says cool things about him self. He's like an insecure 8 year old with a sense of grandiosity of him self. Why do people like this guy again?

[eddiemperor]

@kren2012 People like him because He IS Johnny Rotten...Look him up :)

[kren2012]

@eddiemperor I know who he is. I still think he is a moron. 

[Havoc88x]

i love the attitude .

[HalfofHendrix]

if it wasnt johnny rotten, arrogance like that woud piss me off, but he has every right to be...lol

[MegaGoodoldtimes]

He's so awesome

[Falconiac]

Most lovable asshole in the world. Also the most normal person. He's not affected like all the other douches.

[JoshTurtonOfficial]

Did he say 'you need me, i dont need you'................... Ed sheeran inspired by Johnny Rotten?

[mfrances]

the middle centre piece of roses and other flowers reminds me of the New Order "Power, Corruptions and Lies" album cover.

[HillChris1234]

Johnny Rotten is a cocky asshole.

[GuitarNastyBrah]

beer in the morning , hellz yeah

[jsabbath01]

this man is amazing

[awesomeitalian]

@FairiesFuckHumans how would you have Johnny fucking Rotten act for the camera? he didnt ask for media support. perhaps he isnt so "underground" anymore but what do you expect for such a talented artist? you cant dodge the light of fame. the reason the punk movement is almost non-existent today is because corporations turned it trendy. johnny rotten is not nor will ever be a sellout. "loud, obnoxious, overcompensating little brat" jesus fuck, you sound like such a prick.

[MckenzieLaytonnn123]

HANDSOME!?

is he taking the royal piss !?

SID WAS ALWAYS THE BEST STILL IS

YEAH HES AWSOME BUT SID ALL THE WAY :-D

[neversolost]

just out of curiosity i looked this up. don't listen to them, thank god, but this dude is an arrogant jagoff.. i don't see how ppl could like him. if there's one thing i hate, it's arrogant people. . i'd like to have seen him loose it all, because a true artist knows it's their fans that make them, this prick don't seem to get that... it would be funny if the fans left him high and dry. see how bad he'd need them then...

[awesomeitalian]

@neversolost He doesn't need shit. You hate arrogant people, but I hate ignorant people. You are ignorant to the attitude of punk. People like him because of his music and his attitude. Stick to your fucking soft rock and shut the hell up.

[PunkMusicLove]

Johnny Rotten is Like a Role Model To me ♥

[MrBurb3rry]

every word he says is gold

[MrNivo666]

u don t have 2 show your punk it s something you shine

[KingOfADay72]

ouh my fucking god JHONNY ROTTEN IS GENIUS!

[justinbe54321]

Johnny is rock and roll...and of course punk

[djs259]

this makes me want a beer

and to go to mcDonalds for some reason.

[nath909]

He just attacked here... with honesty.

[ChocolatePieAllDay]

he's an ego maniac! rude! a true hero :)

[auguritutto]

2mins 15 secs is enuf. bye bye.

[vanessahdepp1]

I grinned the whole interview over =3

[TWITfromURANUS]

there's very few people as far up their own arse as Lydon...

& he's still almost as embarrassing these days. Jeez

[noligsky]

nice one mr lydon. shooting fish in a barrel. dressed like a twat. close to bullying some sub t4 muppet. wow, i'm impressed.

[GeekStinkLaura]

Rotten looks a bit like a Weasley.

[KingOfADay72]

JOHNNY ROTTEN IS FUCKING FUCKIN JOHNNY ROTTEN .... AAH fuck me hard..

[MartyredxMaiden]

wow......eloquent, suave, sexy and an egotistical psychopath. hahahah I wanna meet him.

[PorroFirst]

Somehow people never seem to like him.. I don't understand why.

[loombaron]

maybe because he is arrogant?

[Oallright]

I just realized the new Madhatter is based on him

[lilaNilpferdZombie]

OMG IT'S YLE!! SUOMI!!!

[Songremixer123]

He sounds SO polite and well spoken which is what makes him hilarious!

[tokikokoable]

his hair - epic

[Acceptable76]

What an asshole he is here lol

[a1201h]

"...honesty is the most offensive thing in the world, and you have just been attacked with it..."

[ManFromMelbourne]

He hates mclaren does he? Well, twat, if it wasn't for Malcolm, you'd be broke, unemployed, unkown and probably locked up in a mental asylum

[MegaDonnacha]

Did he just fart

[LightSixty]

in the 1977 interview he seem'd like a true rebel. here he just acts like a jerk

What happened to you man?!!

[SMAAKO311]

johny rotten is a conceited peice of shit id pick the clash over the sex pistols anyday!!!

[OnlineIsland]

Wow. So I was talking about the Sex Pistols with my mother. She just told me she worked at a restaurant in Eindhoven, while The Sex Pistols came there to have breakfast. She even served them! I was like... wow, and you didn't even talk to them, or ask an autograph? She said, no... So I asked, what do you remember of them? "Well, they ordered very weird food for breakfast". Haha.

[crackfox100]

You wrinkly old ginger cunt

[FilthContact]

johnny rotten is the biggest twat on the planet, JIMMY PURSEY AND SHAM 69 FORVER

[ZukuRiot]

"It's just like anywhere else, init, awful and it rains, might as well be England".... I LOVE THIS GUY!!!

[idig]

gotta love Rotten haha <3

[a80a80a80]

This man is a genius

[youreflectme]

"i dont need you" is total bullshit

he needs a target to aim his arrows at

someone as expressive as him needs attention

if he didn't need people fame he would stay in the shadows

truth is he would crack up without an audience

if there was no people on earth he would chase animals to interact with

[themusic2020]

@youreflectme Yer ur right really lol

[youreflectme]

i love his honesty

i love his intellect

i love how he doesn't play the game

but at the same time his mood is hateful & he's constantly on the defensive

he starts from a stance of "fuck you" no matter who he is talking to

and thats quite pathetic and boring, 30+ years of it.

[Ali74]

Welcome to Finland, how does it feel to be here at last?..."its just like anywhere else, awful and it rains". Johnny you charmer

[phanplan]

arrr

[PsychoGingerBitch]

he is my fucking hero.

[susangrewal86]

i love you johnny.I wish i was woman interveiwiing him,I would of asked him to fuck in Finland.

[tunittin]

i love johnny, hes cool because he just speaks his mind, hes not a pretentious fucker like the other 99.9% of people who goes on television. LOVE FROM TURKEY !!

[MrDirtySanta]

[FAMEROB]

There is no such thing as punk, only Johnny Rotten

[Timmyboy505]

The reporter sounds like Trisha Takanawa

[chujnarope2317]

ale cioł

[BibleBlack42]

So... My only question, what beverage did he poor into the glass? A lager or an ale? Dumbass question. Just some curiosity, I know how Johnny acted in his career, dosen't strike any questions about it. Just the drink.

[chucknorrisrulez123]

@BibleBlack42

Beer XD

[Kwasimojo]

@BibleBlack42 Considering it's Finland, probably lager/pils

[TheMusicdude420]

Hahaha its like johnny rotten was the first charlie sheen

[TheAlphafly]

Is him gay? He looks like...

[JimJoh156]

@TheAlphafly fuck you!

[mickeythebutcher]

[KaTSicLe95]

what is her last question? i couldnt understand her

[SidEskorbuto]

@KaTSicLe95 she asked what do you think of deep purple

[DizzyPuke]

this man rocks!

[SaintFookinJimmy]

I'm not a sex pistols fan and I've never listened to their music before but this guy is the shit.

[TheAlphafly]

@SaintFookinJimmy

Don't listen it, you don't miss anything special.

;-)

[moonstomp]

[ThatKrookedVulture]

Oh Johnny you silly bastard! \m/(>.<)\m/

[thatPUNKdude]

"there was just the sex pistols. everybody else didn't count"

Are you kidding me? the clash are much better than sex pistols.

[jigsaw80puppet]

@thatPUNKdude Don't try to start arguments on Youtube. It's a bad idea.

[imawakeish]

and then he advertises BUTTER

[radbran1]

[2HairyFlamingos]

[SidEskorbuto]

[mytoprecords]

SID VICIOUS WAS A RICH FANCY BOY IN REAL LIFE...WHAT A FAKE PUNK IS A CROCK OF SHIT

[miauw0]

5:26 , funny :D

[bezumsteeltjuh]

1:43 fake he did it with his hand ;P

[notmemate]

I know Rotten doesn't believe in heroes but he has been my hero since I was a 14 year old from Acton in 1976.

The true working class hero.

[ToxicKilljoy]

"everybody else didnt count." haha legend

[HaruhiHirasawa]

lol, this is from finland, from my homecountry :---D

[seth5220]

@sprangeful the similarity of Johnny Rotten and Charlie Sheen's egocentrism is creepy

[TheSchwieterman666]

fuckin genius!!!



[Sprangeful]

Hes like Charlie sheen with the difference that he have ment something ;)

[Ramtough93]

LMFAO!!! this guy is amazin

[George665511]

if i ever go to a fancy restaurant i would take johnny rotten with me XD

[Xapple69]

and then there was grunge.......

[Meta1Head91]

@Xapple69 and Cobain killed it. Sorry.

[Xapple69]

@Meta1Head91

lmao i dont get why the 'sorry' if its true :x

[Meta1Head91]

@Xapple69 Nevermind then (no pun intended).

[Xapple69]

@Meta1Head91 lmfao

[5jerry1]

@Meta1Head91

That was pure genius. "Nevermind." hahahaha

[deathbypowerglove]

Punk-a source for kids to argue about amongst themselves the way parents complain about kids liking the music.

Shut up and enjoy it.

[JewishChickenburger]

What an awesome bastard!

[9kjamal9k]

I love Johnny Rotten but he would be so fucking hard to interiew :')

[AmEmGD7]

Bob Dylan was the original punk imo. Him going electric and his whole 1960s til motorcycle crash persona was more punk than this bell end will ever be, cos not only was Dylan enigmatic and totally different to any one else he also had brains and had and an IQ above 6...unlike this thick cunt! Just my opinion though. I don't mind some of the pistols songs but this guy annoys me. You also had the stones, the beatles (esp lennon), elvis, hendrix they all riled the establishment at some point.

[yourmomisstrange]

@xUnbreakable89x He's far more punk than you, I or anyone else will ever be.

[xUnbreakable89x]

Not punk.

[byebyefeather]

@xUnbreakable89x Thanks to him Punk exist, I supoose you spend your days listening to Greenday

[xUnbreakable89x]

@byebyefeather

No, just no.

[byebyefeather]

@xUnbreakable89x Explain how Johnny Rotton is not punk

[xUnbreakable89x]

@byebyefeather

Hes just a hot topic mallrat loser. Not a punk.

[byebyefeather]

@xUnbreakable89x please explian what "Punk" is, because I have a feeling you don't have an informed clue

[xUnbreakable89x]

@byebyefeather

The Cro Mags are punk, Aggnostic Front is punk. Sex Pistols is shit.

[marin9008]

@xUnbreakable89x

LOL, Sex Pistol created the Real Punk, no1 know about ur shitty bands so go listen to ur shit, but let the people listen to real music

[xUnbreakable89x]

@marin9008

Lol if you dont know Agnostic Front then you arent really punk, sorry Hot Topic kid.

[marin9008]

@xUnbreakable89x

ok, lol. Agnostic Front is created in 1980-1990 im right? Sex Pistols in 75'. ur Diagnostic Front just copied Sex Pistols .They wear black shirts and black glasses, that's why they are punk?bro sorry but Sex Pistol is the best Real Punk band in the history. This is my last coment

[megas13proto]

@xUnbreakable89x agnostic front is a hardcore band dumb ass. nothing like punk.

[JimmyDFFDBorneo]

@megas13proto Harcore punk is a kind of punk.

[byebyefeather]

@xUnbreakable89x i'm so sorry you don't understand any aspects of music, punk is about rebeling which is what Lydon did, your music may be punk, but believe me if you don't like the Sex Pistols you are not a punk

[xUnbreakable89x]

@byebyefeather

Punk is about rebeling? You sound like a 15 year old hot topic kid, lmaooo.

[byebyefeather]

@xUnbreakable89x Okay, Punk WAS about rebeling, it was about rebeling agaist the hippies and music companies, It was the DIY life style and the crazy views on politics. I wouldn't expect you to understand.

[intenzez]

@byebyefeather Crazy? It´s called leftist.

[byebyefeather]

@intenzez Yeah crazy

[intenzez]

@byebyefeather Actually, Leftist politics has more consistency than right wing politics. Left wing covers all topics, the right doesn´t. Einstein was a communist. The people who ticked off Hitler were communists. Noam Chomsky, one of the most brilliant minds of our time is an anarchist. The left wing are for philosophers and thinkers. The right is for soldiers.

[byebyefeather]

@intenzez You've won me over 

[byebyefeather]

@xUnbreakable89x And what the hell is with the hot topic kid insult? Its sad

[intenzez]

@xUnbreakable89x He is what came before. He pioneered the fashion as well as the politics. Would you call Joe Strummer a lunatic and Richard Hell a socialite?

[tunittin]

haha hes such a naturally asshole funny person :D

[TheOffenderDeadlock]

i laugh everytime ...

[GenerationsDead]

Fuck johnny rotten ! He was just the self-absorbed, self-centered asshole that everyone had to put up with. People cared more about Sid Vicious than they did about Johnny. Without the sex pistols, he would be nothing. And that is a fact.

[fufulep0uftiill0n]

"Handsome, beautiful, viriiil..." :'D



[isigotnone]

his beer has the same colour as his hair...

[JordanEmonds]

"Bad habits die hard..." whilst puffing on a fag. What an quality and Real guy!

[oxrjbizzle1984y]

johnny rotten is fucking hilarious!

[TeaPips]

"Your looking at me.... now that's naughty!" hahahahahha <3 it!!

[TeaPips]

Hahaha I love when he finishes blowing his nose and pulls that face like "so there"

[FoolishDrunkz]

beer.... in a champange glass

[LufsyLurqy]

He's such an aasshooole

[esca8652]

@LufsyLurqy He's kinda funny though. You can tell that he really is telling the truth about everything

[The13131980]

gotta worship the best when you see it. he will debate and oppose 99% of any word uttered to him . he will argue just for arguements sake. even if he only had 1 dollar to his name he would still think everyone else is below him. I Love this sarcastic bastard, johhny rotten!! " you need me...I Don't need you" . why would we like johhny rotten the unpretenious nice guy? hes rude, Raw Intellegent , dirty, egotisic piss your pants funny mockery and has the best british accent ever.

[alSation81]

god he's just ugly and pretentious

[Xantion]

Honestly, what an uptight interviewer, could she be any less boring? I hope she's not in the least bit representative of the entire country.

[JehnnyRotten]

@Xantion Fortunately not.. :P Some Finnish people's English is limited but there are journalists who actually know stuff about music. I guess there are crappy, boring interviewers in every country.

[Xantion]

@JehnnyRotten

Oh, no, I thought her English was perfect, I'm not a native speaker either since I'm a student so that's not the issue. The questions were simply really, painfully boring, good thing he's such a character that the interview still turned out entertaining :)

[JehnnyRotten]

@Xantion Yeah I think he often seems bored with journalists haha. They only ask the same questions anyway, year in year out...

[bcransom]

Nice catch.

[prosaicpseudonym]

JOHNNY ROTTEN IN A BATHROBE.

[RoughitforGreen247]

What a shit interviewer, is she writing for her high school newspaper?

[SpontImagoSoul]

4:52-4:54 johnny rotten rules!

[damienbaits]

Facade

[Iskippedaheratbeat]

gotta LOVE him!!! such a cute dickhead!
