10 Times Johnny Rotten Outclassed Interviewers

Sex Pistols / PiL legend Johnny Rotten isn't just combative, he's extremely well spoken.

I met him in 1980, I was only 9 years old at the time and I spotted him in a park in London with a group of his friends, my mum approached him as I was too shy to and he was the complete opposite of what he portrays himself to be in the limelight, he shook my hand and said of his appreciation of someone as young as I was at the time recognising him.

[SleazyRoseWalker]

The man really quicksaves before every social encounter and picks all the most extreme dialogue options.

[Entity-dnmc]

“I don’t try and impress anybody but myself.” Now those r some words to live by.

[johnhuwroberts]

Beneath this abrasive image lies a man who cared for his wife, right through her battle with dementia, until the very end. Respect is earned…..and, for what it’s worth…he has mine.

[rangerwhite]

To go through life, expressing exactly how you feel not giving a fuck about popular opinion, in an articulate, intelligent manner, is something we can all aspire to.

[clashofthehornsofficialytu]

Imagine Rotten with a twitter account in his youth lol

[purplehaze]

He called out Saville and nobody done a thing. He's a top man

[pantera]

Everytime he speaks it’s like he’s auditioning for a role

[shessoheavy]

He has his issues, but at least he's honest and what you see is what you get.

[johanstone]

you may think he is rude, but he is actually getting his point across every time

[rhianhegarty]

i love Johnny Rotten, he's so intriguing yet intimidating. An intellectual human being with an articulate and polite way of speaking but always keeping it punk. What a legend

[chipsthedog]

Never forget it was John that first called Jim Savile out.

[stonemorris]

Imagine what he was like to the teachers in high school.

[quentincollins]

He's been tearing at the veil of society's hypocrisy for decades. He could literally live forever and never be out of a job in that regard.

[starjunkie]

"Am I not allowed to do what I want with my own body?" Man, such prophetic words.

[earlsfort]

The man called out Jimmy Saville years ago and no one believed him . Respect

[thegrindcoreenthusiast]

Interviewer: "Are You Honest?"
Johnny: "Yes, I Am. Very."
Interviewer: "I Think You're Trying To Shock People"
Johnny: "I Don't Give A S**t What You Think. I Know What I Think And That's All That Counts To Me. I Don't Try To Impress Anybody But Myself. "


Most Punk Thing Ever 👉

[viniciusdeoliveira]

I unironically think most interviewers WANT Johnny to roast them. The man is like a vending machine, you put in a lame take and he spews out gold

[LisaSimpsonRules]

He was a troll before trolls were a thing.

[theghostfilessquad]

I don’t think “outclassed” is the correct word
