Total respect to John for caring and looking after his wife. This man has always been a legend in my mind and he should get alot more respect from people around the world. Keep the good work up John
Sadly, he's lost his beloved Nora now. So nice to see a man so committed to caring for his wife, who has a degenerative disease that's only going to get more challenging. Dementia is a horrible condition that robs a person of everything they hold dear. My love goes out to you wherever you are today ❤️.
He’s aged so well, and he comes across as such a genuine, honest man - such a rare entity. So refreshing to listen to someone who has no massive ego, but can speak so easily from the heart. A good man.
I adore John, he's authentic, creative, intelligent, witty, and a loving soul. The love he has for Nora and caring for her, speaks volumes. A good man indeed! Wish there were more people like him in this world. ❤⚘🎶🎶
Stoked to see him looking well and with high spirits despite what's going on in his world. Every time I see or hear from John in an interview or some sort of media appearance over time he just rises in my ranks. One of the very, very few people in today's world that I believe in, and this is coming from a genuine disbeliever in the modern world. Long live John Lydon.
Dementia is an awful thing, I looked after my sister who suffers from the dreadful disease for four yours, hats of to John because it's a very very hard thing to do.
i looked after my nan ,so same as ,lydons house is near me at plumpton hes a nice bloke, just your everyday man in the street, not my cup ov tea but hes genuine
Fabulous interview 👏 👏👏👏 Always loved John. It's amazing to realise I have been a fan since 1976 when I was 14 years old😲 He made it okay to be different from the norm, to think and act differently to question the norm. I will be forever grateful to this amazing man! ❤❤❤
I can honestly say that my mum and Johnny would’ve been great friends had the universe worked in such a way that they would’ve known each other. She was silent generation but She was a poet and a machinist and she would’ve really got him. She had an uncompromisable biting honesty and was the best ear a friend and a kid could have. She would’ve revered his honesty which is so refreshing especially now. I grew up around a few real and very necessary characters and JL reminds me a lot of them. I always feel like I’m standing on solid ground and I feel energised where ever I go down the Lydon rabbit hole. This is a great discussion and it feels like a couple of fellas at the pub. 👍👍
"Books are IMPORTANT, they show you how other people think. And ultimately if you read enough you'll find your own way." - John Lydon. Punk icon and truth teller about a classical liberal arts education as well. I knew he was sharp since I was a fan in the 80s, now have more insight as to why. Cheers from the US Mr. Lydon!
Such a super guy, hated by many but loved by so many more, in the dark days of depressive school life he gave us hope and for that we are forever grateful for. Saw him at his book presentation in Shrewsbury last year, so polite to myself and my wife a brilliant evening, just love you John!
Absolutely fantastic interview great chemistry between you and so much respect for John’s ethics and honesty. Has never wavered in all these decades from the truth. Hoping peace for Nora . Thank you for this wonderful conversation and interview
I love his brutal honesty. He has always said it the way it is and never beats around the bush and all he does for his wife I find, beautiful, heartwarming, lovely bloke ✌🏻🙂💓
Nicely done Nigel. A wonderful interview with one of the worlds unique characters. You've done a great job giving direction to John and letting him talk thank you.
So great to see John looking so healthy. His energy has never faded and it's so heart warming to see him in this interview. He was always such a caring man. Love to him and his wife.
I'm fascinated by John's many talents. What a wise guy, I'd listen to him for hours and hours and hours and never get enough of it. I've been watching a lot of John's interviews recently and I wish he knew how much he's been helping me going through some serious mental health issues I'm facing... thank you so much Mr. Lydon!!!!
You have all my respect,I found myself in the same situation with my wife in hospice, at home,until the end,in my arms,don't mean to bring anyone down, but like he said,it's the way it is I have prayed for you and your wife🙏
Such a lovely man. First heard the Sex Pistols in 1977 when I was 11. So inspirational to me as a songwriter also. The anger and honesty has no compare.
@@sarahlawson6183 Some idiot who wasn't there in the 70s lol. I preferred the Clash but if you don't know what was going or were born 20 years too late shut the fuck up. Back to your Taylor swift albums loser.
Sending love and some very special healing to you John and your wonderful wife i trust it reaches her runs through her soul and makes her well again, you deserve it Mr John. What a great interview.
Thank you Nigel for this lovely interview. I find John to be the most fascinating, intelligent, articulate, authentic and absolutely gorgeous rock star on the planet. This man is the most amazing human being. I love Johnny ❤❤
He is without a doubt one of the best interviews on the planet and what he’s doing is remarkable he loves Nora more than anything and really is admirable we need more Johnny lydons in this world he will always tell his TRUTH Fuck what you think or agree with or disagree he is himself
Me too! Could watch and listen to him for hours! He's got me under his spell! LOL! Loved him for years. So sad about his wife. My hear goes out to him.❤
@@rODIUMuk Its pretty self-explanatory. Sorry, am I supposed to drop to my knees & start blowing him on command, like 90% of people commenting here? Used to have serious respect for the man. But after recent years of his warped logic, backtracking with alternative facts, his Politics, and his insanely monstrous ego, it eventually gets too much to listen to. And impossible to believe even half of it. They say there's two sides to every story. But with him there are 10+ and often he gives different sides to his own stories. I've loved Sex Pistols and Public Image Ltd for decades, and still do. But there's always one common denominator to the bands constant arguments and change in line-up. And it always seems to be down to him. It's amazing how few good things Ex band mates have to say about him. Like how John wrote every Pistols song, according to him. The other members were just dead weight. His backing band, according to him. But funny how virtually all of the other members have had nonstop successful careers, even to this day. Even Glen Matlock is currently on a big tour with Blondie. Same story with "his other creation" PIL Ltd. They seem to do quite well on their own too. Actually saw Jah Wobble a few years ago in a sold out show and he was great. But as John Lydon would have you believe, they are just dead weight without him too. He's a multimillionaire Property Owner with buildings all over Chelsea one day. Then he's doing Ads for Butter the next because he needs to fund a new PIL Ltd Album. Then he's bankrupt in an obsurd charade of a frivolous Lawsuit with the rest of the Pistols, over an agreement he'd used to his own advantage many times before. And then throws a tantrum when it fails. Claiming poverty. But then boasting about his LA mansion, while obviously keeping the UK mansion too. He can't even keep his own lies straight. One things for sure though. He'll still cash those Royalty Cheques from the TV Series, Merch, Re-releases of Records, etc etc. Because they are the hottest ticket in town right now. Plus can't help but notice that his 2015 Book seems to have a bump in sales, which means yet another Re-release and cash-in. I'm sure his other Book will follow, if it hasn't already. He's also doing another Pil Ltd tour, which I'm sure is a completely coincidental that the timing lined up with the release of the new TV Series he tried so desperately to stop, knowing full well he couldn't. So for all his hot air, he's sure to pick up a right pretty penny for all his torment. Overall he'll do very, very well out of the whole situation. "Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?" He may have been talking about the Sex Pistols back then. But right now that question would have a very different answer. Bottom line is Steve Jones wrote a better book. And tbh it must've taken a lot to dredge up the past like that. Just how grim his personal life was. It was a story worth telling, warts and all. So it's highly commendable in that regard. But as usual John Lydon wanted to make it all about John Lydon. It was his way or no way at all. But as I said, it's a massive pay day either way.
@@pjnolan7989 ok. I don’t know all the sides to this argument . But you have explained yourself well, and I can see with your logic why you feel like that.
@@rODIUMuk Thank you for your honesty. Its a refreshing change from the YT comments. Tbh I grew up loving John Lydon as an outspoken provocateur. Always speaking his mind, no matter the consequences. I'd read and watch anything I could about him. (Pre Internet days of course). But somewhere along the line something changed, and its like he turned on everything he'd stood for, for decades. It's like common sense went out the window, and he started making moves that saw him as a respectable Conservative, even though they were everything he supposedly despised. Almost like he was running for Election and was whitewashing his history. Like over night he went from the "Liberal Working Man's man" to a Conservative Tory Voter. The complete opposite of what he always stood for. He Suppported Brexit when it was obviously going against the Working Class, which he supposedly stood for. Don't think he voted in US 2016 Election as he might not have been full Citizen yet. But he again vocally backed Conservative Republican Txxxx. He did a complete uturn on everything Sex Pistols related, that actually got him famous to begin with. In fact in this interview here you'll notice he refers to Sid Vicious as John Ritchie, without noting they are the same person. FFS he even went to the trouble of posting on the Public Image Ltd and his own FB page that he's distancing himself from the "bad language" in the TV Series and on the Sex Pistols FB page, or anything Band related. And again says how he doesn't agree with such atrocious language. The same man who made himself famous for Anarchy and such language. Plus Danny Boyle, who Directed the TV Series openly said he's delighted with the arguing and hopes John continues his vendetta. A more sceptical person might assume this is all a set up to hype up the show and sell more Merch & Re-releases. And the fact there's so much back & forth on Forums indicates it's working. Pretty sure God Save The Queen hit Number 1 in this week's charts. What do you reckon? Are we all being played? All the Singles, the Album, & Books are selling out. They even released a Limited Coin to mark the Jubilee. Don't get me wrong. If they are doing another Rock n' Roll swindle, then well done to them. Its pretty genius, and a long time coming. What fo you think?
That was magnificent, thank you so much Nigel. Fantastic to see John looking so well and in such great spirits. You even managed to get a word in occasionally 😉 Thanks again👍
I bought a PIL single as a joke for a friend long ago, but as we listened to it it wasn't a joke, it was absolutely great! The single was Rise, then I just had to buy all the PIL stuff.
I bought Album as my first foray into the band. Rise is a great single and a scathing commentary on South Africa's brutal apartheid regime and its use of torture of civilians who've been accused of nothing.
I second that, I love the questions about Manchester and The Fall as well. They're the ones I would ask him as well. Smith loved the Pistols in the early days (even though he denied it in later life).
Nigel great interview sir. I got my ticket for June 18th in Bristol really looking forward to the gig it’s been a few years since I last saw pil, so it will be a joy again thank you the interview peace!!! ✌️👍
I always love listening to John Lydon speak! Everything he says seems to be with sense & truth, truth & sense, as he said, with his childhood experience with meningitis! Seems to me like it must have been a road to Damascus experience for him which has led him through his life, even to this day! I loved listening to this conversation, I could watch it again, I watched some of the other ones too, I listened to some of the Sex Pistols & PIL on TH-cam a few times, To see PIL live one day, or if ever the sensitive things could work themselves out between the Sex Pistols, it would probably take me back to the 9 or.10 year old 70,s boy, my ears pricking up the sound coming out from the speakers on the wall, as we sat at the dinner table having our tea! Blessings Sir! 😎
honest? he was even the John who was invited the start the sex pistols..it was Vicious...this big gob blahblahbalhz very well but yeh 2 decent numbers...diss is nut a lore song nd anger is an eerie..for the rest I hope ye enjoyed all the bottles and full and open beer cans I managed to hit ye ya big puff!!

Total respect to John for caring and looking after his wife. This man has always been a legend in my mind and he should get alot more respect from people around the world. Keep the good work up John
Ere, ere 🇬🇧 🤘
Totally agree.
That said he has shit politics and things corporatists like Clinton are "socialists"
Sadly, he's lost his beloved Nora now. So nice to see a man so committed to caring for his wife, who has a degenerative disease that's only going to get more challenging. Dementia is a horrible condition that robs a person of everything they hold dear. My love goes out to you wherever you are today ❤️.
John is an intelligent and thoughtful man. The fact that he has taken on the role of full time carer speaks volumes about his character. Bless him!!
Wow he looks much better than he did a few years ago,Such a relief to see him healthier.
I totally agree with you. Greetings from Germany🤗
I think the huge weight gain was because of meds, not greed and indulgence of food
@@trumpsdailytruthsmakelibsc6952 Yep, that's what I was telling people who were calling him fat....
@@trumpsdailytruthsmakelibsc6952 I don't think greed has anything to do with someone being overweight and it is very difficult to be your ideal weight

Agreed! Happy to see that too.
I saw PIL in 2018 and he was huge. He's looking more like his old self now

Another great interview on You tube with Mr "Rotten !! What a charming man .."May the road rise with John and Nora....... Respect .......
Excellent. John is the man with whom I would most want to have a pint. Mad respect for the person and the artist.

This is the best interview I’ve ever heard. Just fantastic
@@edwardruff7927 Thank you 🙏🏻
I love Johnny. He talks a lot of sense, but also a fair amount of nonsense too. No one can question his devotion to Nora and good on him for that.
What nonsense ?
Awesome to see him so healthy again, keep it goiN Mr John de Man 🤙🙌 😃🌹
I bought a PIL single as a joke for a friend long ago, but as we listened to it it wasn't a joke, it was absolutely great! The single was Rise, then I just had to buy all the PIL stuff.
I bought Album as my first foray into the band. Rise is a great single and a scathing commentary on South Africa's brutal apartheid regime and its use of torture of civilians who've been accused of nothing.
@@honiideslysses12 Agree!
That has Bill Laswell bass, Ginger Baker on drums, Jon McGoe guitar .. Steve Vai on solo guitar.
One of the best original interviews I've witnessed with lydon. Bravo nigel..!! PS Rottens right on pistol 6 part series.
Really like to throw back a few with john.
So happy to see him looking so much better. That man is a legend! ❤️
Best interview with Lydon in years, well done.
Thank you Ant - such an engaging bloke - he didn't want to stop!
I second that, I love the questions about Manchester and The Fall as well. They're the ones I would ask him as well. Smith loved the Pistols in the early days (even though he denied it in later life).
I’m so in ore with John. His such an honest down to earth man with the biggest heart. Much love to you John 🤗🙏
I have recently become a full time carer too, bless you John and love you
7:03 This is one of many reasons why I love this guy
I've said it before and I'll say it again, John Lydon is just a golden human being ^_^
Nigel great interview sir. I got my ticket for June 18th in Bristol really looking forward to the gig it’s been a few years since I last saw pil, so it will be a joy again thank you the interview peace!!! ✌️👍
Love you John ❤👍
I always love listening to John Lydon speak! Everything he says seems to be with sense & truth, truth & sense, as he said, with his childhood experience with meningitis! Seems to me like it must have been a road to Damascus experience for him which has led him through his life, even to this day! I loved listening to this conversation, I could watch it again, I watched some of the other ones too, I listened to some of the Sex Pistols & PIL on TH-cam a few times, To see PIL live one day, or if ever the sensitive things could work themselves out between the Sex Pistols, it would probably take me back to the 9 or.10 year old 70,s boy, my ears pricking up the sound coming out from the speakers on the wall, as we sat at the dinner table having our tea!
Blessings Sir! 😎
Is everybody happy?? I am pleased to see Johnny looking healthy as one of the very few musicians I actually respect.
As always an honest and loving guy. Tells the truth and has the right priorities.
Love him!
honest? he was even the John who was invited the start the sex pistols..it was Vicious...this big gob blahblahbalhz very well but yeh 2 decent numbers...diss is nut a lore song nd anger is an eerie..for the rest I hope ye enjoyed all the bottles and full and open beer cans I managed to hit ye ya big puff!!
@@eezeedoesit what?

Really enjoyed this. I’ve always liked John’s suffer no fools, candour. 👍
Very nice to see John is on the right side of history ‼
