PUNK 7 - Sex Pistols interview + No Fun live

[Secretaryboy]

We need something like punk again its so boring youngsters cant decide what they are, they dress in boring staid clothes hairstyles are so rubbish, I went from Disco to punk then back to Disco, but punk.post punk will always stay with me.

"Fucking ignore the system, use it when it suits you."- John Lydon

[SuzLa1]

I don't see how a butter advert makes him a sell out, and at 54, maybe he thinks that if he doesn't do it now, he never will, as a kind of mid life crisis kind of thing.

[SuzLa1]

Unless Sid's voice was dubbed over by another person? That person sounds quite posh.

[SuzLa1]

John refused to make a song with that train robber when Malcolm asked him so it led to the band splitting and Malcolm kept most of their royalties.

[madferit4life]

thanks so much for uploading this!

[karolnoymann]

Swindle, indeed !

[Monchi2006]

eock n roll swindle is such unbeliavable bullshit...i wish i had never seen it

[username2966]

...he's my hero!!

[cockney1980]

it fucking aint illiterate mug

[SuzLa1]

@Negima6 The first person was Sid? When Sid was in the Sex Pistols he spoke like an idiot, so the drugs must have turned into another person, as that person spoke like they had some intelligence. I don't think the first person was Sid.

[jonomutiny]

30 years later, when the whole world has changed you fuck up!!

Go form a band you cunt............

[jonomutiny]

6 times, you must be really shit at it then, you fuckpipe..............Pfft, what an arse!

[jonomutiny]

WOOOOO, get you!!! You sound so stupid...do me a favour and fuck off you out back oz mongo!!

[himynameisjames182]

I dont get why 3thumbs down, he's got a fucking point.

& that fucking butter advert was fucking diabolical!

[latinabatfink]

at the begining was that sid vicious? i cant tell it does have a look of him

[spikedude44]

no, its not sid.

[sidandmoi]

no but he kinda looks like him

[Durriti66]

@latinabatfink It might be John Grey (one of Rotten's best mates). I've only seen a couple of pics of him so not sure, plus just re-reading Englands Dreaming and it says the that John Grey is one of the people being interviewed.

[hiitsmehi]

u herd sid at the start? he was so much different bfore the heroin

[googpower]

@hiitsmehi That's not sid vicious. He joined the band later in 78. Besides you can easily tell it's not sid.

[lordlazerus]

'A Fallen Hero' suggest that maybe having a hero in the first place isn't so smart. Anyhow, John's later actions don't make his early statements irrelevant. I just wish more kids would give up playing his 'guitar hero' game, get some of their own music going on down their local halls and start shouting about making some changes.

[Jtizzown]

At least they had the guts to risk everything (there life) (family) EVERYTHING... to become what they did , after its all said and done ,you gotta od what you gotta do to SURVIVE.. what do you expect you fucking twats , for him to jsut live on the streets after the sex pistols demise, i think not dumb asses ,they were hardcore no matter what ,more hardcore then u'll ever even know of.

[Johnnerotten]

Heeeere's Johnny....

[strokesfan10]

i know a dude that looks kindof like him but isnt that old hes 1 yr older than me

[theXramoneXpistolsXP]

fuck the system, john and the rest of sex pistols rule... except sid, don't hate the guy but glen was honestly better

[SteveResin]

Ever get the feeling you've been buttered?

[dave05222]

Dont accept the old order....I dont need a rolls-royce.... Im happy as I am....advertising margerine on ITV....fuck me!!!

[OutlawVagabond871]

Lol that's hilarious and true, they turned into everything they claimed to hate, what poseurs!

[sidchaos1988]

how i never heard john say he hated ppl who advertised country life butter lol hows it make them poseurs really they have every right to make money just like me and you if a punk rocker got a job just that instantly turn them into a poseur because they get paid seriously we all have to get money to live

[OutlawVagabond871]

Are you a moron? There is a difference between working and ADVERTISING shit on tv.

John already has a job, he's a singer in two bands and has a solo career and he certainly is in NO FINANCIAL NEED, he's stinking rich. He did the ad because he's GREEDY and wants MORE MONEY which is exactly what he used to criticize when he was young and poor. Getting a job to sustain yourself and/or your family is perfectably respectable, turning into what you claimed to hate aka a fat rich rockstar..

[OutlawVagabond871]

...simply isn't.

The Sex Pistols sold out ages ago, deal with it.

[sidchaos1988]

he desreves every right to make money he was robbed of it the first time round with the pistols and certainly did not make much money with public image because he didnt have a record label through most of the recordings you think just because hes in a band he must be rich yes he made some money from the 1996 and later pistols gigs so what he deserves to cash in on his music and besides he has had a acting career for many years now even starred in a film

[sidchaos1988]

and hes doing what he wants to do you cant control a person or there actions get over it

[sidchaos1988]

and yeah he did critizize about he moeny when he was young and poor but he was young people do change there opinions and views when they get older hes 50 something now do you really expect him to think exaclty the same as he did when he was 19

[OutlawVagabond871]

Yes POSEURS do change their opinion.

I don't want to control anyone, I'm merely expressing how much I DESPISE incoherent fucks, that's all.

[WATO1579]

your so right!

[ImAnaemicRoyalty]

that woman is frickin hilarious

[777system777]

and now johns doing country life butter ads!!

[jahdi13]

Now he's not - he live in NY, doing concerts as usual.

[777system777]

i was'nt trying to put john down in anyway, i love the guy...it was a funny ad aswell;-)

[ozzymanod411]

"ahaha, ever get the fealing youve been cheated? good night"

[drlongboy]

this is great,hey uk subs still going strong too dudes ! old but still fucking rock ,british music the best for me : )

[VivaLaShenanigans]

ahaha. The day he dies. That makes me laugh.

[arturosg78]

your shit friend you cant say that

[VivaLaShenanigans]

*Excuse* me? He's completely and utterly full of it. And learn to make a proper sentence.

[greendayidiot13]

who wouldve thought Rotten would have his own tv show and go live on national tv in a few years..

[tazzman560]

who cares? he does what he wants

[OutlawVagabond871]

Yes but he said he'd never do it and that he hated the system and didn't care about money. Hahaha.

[LoreXS]

interviewer: what do you think about bands like the stones?

johnny rotten: i don't

now that's a statement

[thejoad]

No- he lives in a nice house in LA. Hypo-hypocrite

[Normin5]

he lives in a nice house in LA is because he can and it's a moce place you fucking moron! the reason he did thatis that he doesn't give a flying fuck what cunts like you think!!

[thejoad]

"Moce"? What the fuck are you on cunt. And I'm calling you a cunt because I can you think CUNT. Fucking "Norman" prick

[mancunian1234]

Yeah but all those statements he made was when they were skint,from council homes and all the big rock bands intangible as they were during the 70`s were living on big royalties and living in their big mansions.They were rich to start with.The Sex pistols weren`t.They`re cashing in now so what?They hadn`t a pot to piss in then.

[Vremedon]

Comparatively speaking, he didn't make much out of his band. If Johnny lives comfortable, it's because his wife had some money. Steve Jones doesn't have much money, either, and neither does Matlock or Cook. So you're basically lacking in facts. But that never stopped one of the punk pharisees from throwing stones...

[allanville11]

dont get me wrong but I think old skool punk looks better today punk musics...looks more creative

[Tennaa333]

can u help me?

is that Sid Vicious (I' m not sure, but...) at 00:30?

[tommywhitehardcore]

no its not

i think its there record excutive

i duno though lol

[gr33narr0w]

nope, thats not sid

[Guedingen]

Didn't No Fun end up on the b-side of Pretty Vacant? 'A sociology lecture, with a bit of psychology, a bit of neurology, a bit of fuckology.' Brilliant

[jonwantpie]

i luv u sex pistols

[RedRaven555]

lot's of people do... thus i don't give a fucking shit.

[SimonDaNinja2]

Than why did you response, RedRaven555?

[tomme1981]

Johnnie was great in 76-77;

Now he's another champagne socialist. Did he sell out?? Course he did.

Would I have sold out in the same circumstances? Course I f**kin' would!! Wouldn't you??!! Great memories Johnnie.

[somnambulistyes]

I tend to think what they created should have ended where it did or if it were to continue, should have at the time they ended. was never meant to be mainstream or big not that it is now but to do the same songs now, tho the creation is always great, doesnt work somehow, dilutes it

[Aurora941312]

yeah, your rigth, Johnny was a fucking great 75-78... but now :S

[MensShoes]

The Pistols also seem to have copied a riff from Abba! Ha, very punk!

What is it about Sid? There's something I love about him, everytime I see him I just wanna..Jump on him.

[somnambulistyes]

mens, what riff is that? Sid was very good looking but I cant keep my eyes off John. I think its that force behind his creation of himself, his peculiar energy. niiiice. hee hee hee

[unaespinaenelojo]

SID I LOVE YOUUUUU...

[steffe689]

well sid wasnt i sex pistol at that time.

No fun is way better when iggy does it

[unaespinaenelojo]

SID ALWAYS IN MY MEMORY

[sexpistolsrepublika]

by the legendary 'Never Mind The Bollocks... Here's The Sex Pistols' LP on October 29th

[starstrucksteph]

i fookin love the sex pistols theyr amazing i wish more bands were like them!!xxx SEX PISTOLS FOREVER

[DArcyFD]

awesome. thanks for uploading.

[icantfindanamethis]

well said

were all fucking crap

[AntisocialGhost]

Yes the Ramones started it from a musical point of view.

The Pistols even stole Ramones riff, the opening God Save the Queen is stolen from "Suzy is a Headbanger".

And yes Richard Hell had the "look" before Johnny Rotten. So what? Cut the childish nationalist crap.

You're thinking like slaves, no nation is better than the other, they're all fucking crap. A few good people anywhere, and a lot of ignorant brainwashed intolerant fucks everywhere.

[danachonda]

wow, history huh, well the Dolls started it b 4 the Ramones. ANd malcom mclaren was the manager of the Dolls 1st. And the look, well they started a look in england at Mclarens sex shop. THe facts!

[JJLeeds1973]

Is that Sid Vicious talking first after Janet Street Porter intro? I've seen this b4 a few times and always that it was even tho he's speaking more poshly then on later Sid interviews. Anyone know?

[demon27dan]

No, it's not Sid but I agree there's a little similarity.

[RiotNrrrdUTube]

That's not Sid. It's probably one of the Bromley Contingent, possibly Bertie Marshall. Google for "Psychoboy: Interview with Bertie Marshall" and you'll see what he looked like then (and not just half of his face).

[RinnTinnTinn]

By then Johnny had already started it. He had green hair when he was sixteen which was in 1972. And he wore torn clothes, latex, and homemade stuff...

[rottingjello]

Oh My Fucking God. Steve..Goodnesssss, he's just beautiful. They all are. Twas a shame that Sid died. Mclaren and Nancy ruined it all to rubbish. Heh.

[alexthemod]

ramones, iggy pop, new york dolls and richard hell were originators of punk. but without the pistols it wud have been nothing.

[vickyarg89]

Excellent material! nice watching Steve putting on clothes ;) and the guy that says "the pistols are committed" or whatever reminds me of Tom Cruise...creepy huh?

[pistolbich]

what the fuck was steve wearing

[minutegongcoughs]

Best piece of Art England has ever produced. John Lydon, The Sex Pistols. Best thing in my lifetime. Oh, and Syd Barrett too of course. Saw them a few times in London. Use to see them around town occasionally. To be 18 to 22 in 1976 was great. P.I.L. are edgy too. TIMELESS.....

[nasri41]

i think johnny was the only one in the band to understand punk is not attitude nor any system but to achieve self expression, he's a genius among musicians !

[Droogie123]

As johnny said, Perhaps the ramones had the sound, but not the attitude

"Oh sure, 'beat on the brat with the baseball bat' is a nice song. but that's it. God Save The Queen nearly put me in jail for the rest of my life." not the exact words, but he said something along the lines of.

[Albyiscool]

thats because when the ramones started, there was no punk attitude, they didnt focus so much on being rebellious, they just wanted to play music the way they liked to, the sex pistols were the ones who invented the whole punk attitude and thats what caused people to think all punk bands, including the ramones, were garbage

[mousiesgirl]

this is a true thing that happens! its not a chain letter! its kinda scary at first but it really works!! paste this message into 3 comments and press ALT F4 and your crushes name will appear on the screen!!! its soo weird!

[usvbk]

Ever heard of Iggy and the Stooges?

[Nezaru]

They're not punk. They're like it, but they aren't it.

[emopout]

They mean that they're the originators in the UK. The Ramones were the originators in the USA.

[Nezaru]

The Ramones swore to their death beds they were not punk. They were pop. 'Spect that, foo.

[FranklyMisterShankly]

Not even close. If there was an American act that originated punk, it would be Iggy and the Stooges, possibly the New York Dolls.

[flagg7000]

What about the Ramones?

[Jperse]

Fuck you! why do you think that sex pistols HATED USA!? IT WAS BECAUSE THAT THE FUCKING AMERICANS DID'NT UNDERSTAND PUNK MUSIC!!!!! Better get a brain before sayin something you son of a bitch.

[RiotNrrrdUTube]

Yeah - that's why they're playing "No Fun" in this clip. Do you know who wrote "No Fun", Jperse? Some guy named IGGY POP when he was in THE STOOGES - one of your "FUCKING AMERICANS". And then there's the other Pistols' covers like "Roadrunner" by ANOTHER AMERICAN, Jonathan Richman. Here's 10p, buy yourself a clue.

[petetheelite]

there the originators? hahaha. ramones anyone?

[deathlightning92]

Ramones ain't Punk, and the first Punk scene started in New York in the mid '60s. Punk was made popular by The Sex Pistols in the UK.

[MarcBassoFilms]

haha ramones didn't do shit man

[punkisnotdead1]

fucking good
