Quote

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.

For me, the best rock is not what you play - it's what you're not playing.
John Lydon
Image
Situationism is a ludicrous proposition. It's ill-formed and it's perfectly French. That Gallic disposition towards common sense. L'Anarchie!

If you give me the chance, I'll destroy America for you.

My words are my bullets.
John Lydon

For me all governments are my enemies and I've never made any bones about it any other way other than directly, and I don't fly the left flag or the right flag, me, I'm common sense.
John Lydon

John Lydon
Image
I've never told anyone this. But I suffer from terrible stage fright. True. You can't tell though, can you? Unbelievable, the panic. I nearly die of fear before I go on stage. Something wicked. I can't eat a thing the day before a gig. It'd make me vomit.
John Lydon
Image
I could take on England, but I couldn't take on one heroin user.
John Lydon
Image
I never wore a studded leather jacket, y'know. Ne-va! If I had had the money I wouldn't have spent it on shit like that.
John Lydon
Image
I'm not great at dealing with death, I have to say. I find death very hard: my mum, my dad, Sid Vicious. I'm not a monster I feel it and it scares me. One death at a time, please, is all my heart will bear.

Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?

Stroll into work at 10. Lunch from 12 till three. Leave work at five. That's living!

Freedom isn't to do what you want at somebody else's expense.

As a human being, I'm work in process.
