I hate the technological rip-offs that pass for music formats these days, and go back to vinyl to hear a good record because the sound is always so much fuller. I don't even like listening to music in the car.

More quotes by John Lydon
Love is what you feel for a dog or a pussycat. It doesn't apply to humans.
John Lydon
Books are like my one and only joy.
John Lydon
Rules are important, but they're temporary and they're always supposed to be changed.
John Lydon
I think I have something valid to say. My words are my bullets. I like to brag that somehow I got it right.
John Lydon
The way the music industry is now geared, it's fewer accolades towards new and upcoming acts. New bands offer bright creativity. It's a set format. A venue would rather hire a DJ than a band, and that's a problem.
John Lydon
I went to visit Alcatraz years ago when I was on tour with the Pistols, and I really liked the atmosphere of the place. I genuinely, really, thoroughly enjoyed the whole morning there. I just liked the quietness and stillness of what is basically a cruel prison complex. I still found some kind of joy in that. That's how I am.
John Lydon
I always feel like a bit of an outsider myself, but as a working class lad, the system was always against me. The British system itself and then of course all the illnesses that were challenging to me.
John Lydon
Anyone who's parading under a $100,00-plus video is not free from corporate. That's just the MTV advertising agency. I find them all to be just a bit of a sham.
John Lydon
Americans being upright and forthright and honest and true to themselves is a very hard concept.
John Lydon
Move to Italy. I mean it: they know about living in debt they don't care. I stayed out there for five months while I was making a film called 'Order Of Death,' and they've really got it sussed. Nice cars. Sharp suits. Great food. Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!
John Lydon
Music is a simulation of something, but language is the greatest thing we possess.
John Lydon
Pop music I have always loved best. But the more extreme, fascist-led examples of the music business I tend to detest the most.
John Lydon
I hate death it takes people away from you. You're left feeling rudderless.
John Lydon
I applaud the effort it takes to put a record together.
John Lydon
One of the most beautiful things about Britain, apart from the NHS and the free education, is the British Army.
John Lydon
I don't listen to music. I hate music.
John Lydon
The greatest achievement of my life is enduring a disease that nearly killed me. I came out of it a better person. It's my one great accomplishment - more so than anything else I've done.
John Lydon
U2 - that's a band that never should have existed. There's no life experience in any of their songs.
John Lydon
Maybe I'm a prehistoric monster by being an individual. It's highly likely. All I offer to others is their own individuality. Grab it!
John Lydon
I love books, and all the best ones are people analysing their own emotions. You can learn from that.
John Lydon
