How come he doesnt share the story about the time Gregg Allman was going to kick his ass and he ran away from it? Oh right. It's just John Lyndon and his made up stories here. Not actually real.
Poor Johnny he looked after his siblings when he was growing up as a teenager. He had it tough and came from the bottom. Respect to you mate, you were a huge strength to disillusioned youth like me in the seventies.
thank you! His mom was very sick and had a lot of miscarriages. Some of us seem to have been bothered to read his two books. I'll defend John until I get fat (ter)
Mother with cancer, wife with alzheimers and a deceased child, I can't even imagine how that would feel like, alcohol and food is unfortunately a very good coping mechanism for tragic events like these, no wonder his physical development. I hope he gets better though!
Keep fighting John. I’ve lost a grandfather and aunt to Alzheimer’s. It’s one of the hardest things to go through. Take care of you and your family. I’m pulling for ya mate.
That's because he's a rich celebrity. You wouldn't hug an absolute stranger with the same issue. Or perhaps you would, maybe, but most people are hypocrites / materialistic / superficial / celebrity worshipers.
@@damienholland8103 you just wish she would hug you is all, ya jealous fuck! Get over ya self u knob, shes just trying to be sweet and ya had 2 run ur pie hole.
No, I think there is. He can be a twat like anyone can. For instance, he says he insulted Springsteen, but can't remember what he said and says people get offended too easily. That's very dickish isn't it, whatever you may think of Springsteen's music.

That said I would like to point out some guys named NEW ORDER, that were the fundation of club music, one of the most influencial bands in new wave/synth pop and previously kinda created goth music and post-punk with Joy Division along side other bands.

My mom got sick with Alzheimer's, it's a damned disease that devastates those who are affected and those close to them. I've been living hell for a year. I do not wish anyone such a horrible experience.
What's even worse is that video with him drunk on the stage with like 6 other punk legends like Rollins and Duff. Hes constantly interrupting everyone and the crowd starts to turn on him and towards the end he tells the audience that the love of his life nora has alzheimers and that whenever she calls he has to answer. You can tell hes holding back tears and he asks the audience if they're ok with letting him do that?

No your body doesn't change that much over time buddy. Putting on that amount of weight and having such a drastic change of appearance in such a short time isnt normal and is clearly a sign of ill health.
no name He's in his 60's at least, he certainly isn't going to look like he did when he was in his 20s or 30s , it could be something else but, I know I'm not as skinny as I was when I was in my 20s and that was just in the 90s , I'm not that big, but everyone's body changes over time, especially as you get older
@@fredflintstone3757 He was thin only a couple of years before this. This wasn't a gradual weight gain with age. It was a drastic weight gain in a very short period of time.
@@noname-yt7uf Not a sign of ill health.More like shoving too much down his neck & he admits that.lf it doesn't bother him what has it got to do with anybody else.?
A bunch of disgusting comments over here. OK. he's fat So what?... He's in pain, troubled by family issues and... DOING GREAT STUFF!!! Greetings from Argentina, Maestro!!!
People always emphasize on performers gaining weight. Always. You can be paper thin, anorexic in rock music, and people will think it's cool. The moment you put on weight, it's all what's talked about.I hate that. It's shallow, it's lame. Are we just an appearance? Is it all that matters? Are we just flesh? Or is the person underneath the most important? I wonder why our society is obsessed with that. Plus I think he's lost some of the weight since then, even though these things come and go.
John - Wishing your family well.......and.........your wife in particular.........Caregiving can be very tough on the caregiver.......... Best to You and Rambo.....

I have always loved John's honesty. If you agree with him or not, you have to admit he does not soft soap it. Sorry to hear he is going through some rough stuff.
Honesty? I don't know about that. I love love love the Pistols and like PIL enough but Johnny is full of shit. The Springsteen story is a perfect example.
The old drummer from the drum store Lydon refers to at the Ritz PIL show was Sam Ulano. He was a pretty famous drum educator in NYC. Tons of TH-cam clips of him too.
This guy was ,and is a true individual.He meant so much to me when I was young.I had the chance to speak with him when he was doing an in-store record signing but I couldn't . I walked passed him while he was smoking a cig and just looked him in the eyes.He looked at me...that was it.I wish I'd had said something.I felt if I'd told him how much he meant to me,he would think I was a jerk.

Really funny story, i live in scotland Stirling at the time so i was at my doctors waiting to be seen n who walks in but john lydon lol was omg what you doin here n he said heard this guy is a good doctor lol

"A friendly bunch of sarcasm in the shitstem" - that says it all right there for me! There's two modes to making music - you're either trying, or you're doing. After so many years, I got sick of 'trying'. But John has forever been 'doing'. And much like The Green Mile or a Twilight Zone episode - he's forever cursed with it till the end. A blessing in one way. But then for all the personal issues, health and age, I'm surprised he's getting any fun out of it at all still. My hats off to you John!
I live close to what is now the Emirates stadium (home of Arsenal football!) that's built on the childhood home of John Lydon. I often think of him when I walk down Benwell Road.
I love john always, I hope he gets better cause he is such a realistic guy! He's real! Always was and funny! Intelligent! And true big hearted, just don't fuck up his mind and heart..he's lovely! 😎🖤🇬🇧
Johnny is one of the most honest men on this planet. Says it as it is and stands by his opinion. Total respect Johnny. You are a legend mate. Hope you n yours health returns. And shame on the nay sayers with churlish comments. Life fkcs everybody eventually! No one gets out alive!
I wish I could have loved punk more but aside from a group here or there I was primarily a John Lydon fan. He was the extent of my interest in punk but he was enough because he was incredibly real and genuine. He remains so today. I loved how he busted Dick Clark's chops with his bizarre off the wall appearance on American Bandstand. American Bandstand was great but having Lydon's antics on the show made it better. John Lydon is a true giant in music. Sorry about your family, John. Blessings to them.
You're right...I consider myself a punk fan but when I actually think about it, there was only the Pistols, the Clash, not-quite-punk bands like the Stranglers and the Banshees, second division plodders like the Lurkers, maybe the Vibrators, and the rest was rubbish. Stuff like Eater, Slaughter and the Dogs, just bereft of any talent and with no legacy. The proof of the pudding was the great music that Lydon continued to make (members of the Clash too, plus the Stranglers and the Banshees went on to make many great albums).
The man's wife is very unwell and he is probably stress eating and drinking to cope. People shouldn't make fun.
Yep.
Totally agreed. How quickly people turn eh.
Except, Johnny talks shit about EVERYBODY, but that's ok?
Are you kidding? Have you heard the venom this guy has spouted at people over the years? If he can’t take it some mild jokes over his appearance that’s really just too bad for him.

Brucie Stormed out of North Carolina too, when he found out that he could go to a restroom with little girls.
LOL..he supports those weird policies, and politicians who make them...
This woman is a great interviewer, a real class act.
I wish I could have loved punk more but aside from a group here or there I was primarily a John Lydon fan. He was the extent of my interest in punk but he was enough because he was incredibly real and genuine. He remains so today. I loved how he busted Dick Clark's chops with his bizarre off the wall appearance on American Bandstand. American Bandstand was great but having Lydon's antics on the show made it better. John Lydon is a true giant in music. Sorry about your family, John. Blessings to them.
You're right...I consider myself a punk fan but when I actually think about it, there was only the Pistols, the Clash, not-quite-punk bands like the Stranglers and the Banshees, second division plodders like the Lurkers, maybe the Vibrators, and the rest was rubbish. Stuff like Eater, Slaughter and the Dogs, just bereft of any talent and with no legacy. The proof of the pudding was the great music that Lydon continued to make (members of the Clash too, plus the Stranglers and the Banshees went on to make many great albums).
Looks like he’s paid in butter for that advert
LOL. He puts toast on his butter.
Exactly what i thought lol.
Definitive bloated old punk rocker there...jeez check your diet Johnny!
Lmao
Bobo from Nothing but Trouble.
Bless you John, keep fighting the good fight!
Every time I think I couldn't love the guy more.....Damn.....John's like a fine wine.....Hahaha.....What a phenomenal human being.
Johnny looks like he ate Johnny, but he is still Johnny.
_reversed Majin Buu_
Johnny Thunders 😂🤣😂🤣 omg he looks like he’s had an allergic reaction to something. 🐷
Stress will do that to ya. He must have been going through hell with the wife and the brothers
Respect, he has earned the right to get fat, enjoy the wine and deserts John
Over active thyroid.....
John, hope everything works out for you.
God Bless him💚 I love the interviewer very good
So sad for Johnny. He's always been blunt and never one to mince words. Such a huge influence in the world of modern music. Hope he gets better soon.
Respect to you John
He don't deserve no respect
