**tiktok** · 05/02/2004, 6:57 PM

Tool, and not nearly as interesting as he'd like the world to believe.

**A face** · 05/02/2004, 11:11 PM

Dunno ... still probably the most entertaining in there ..... well, barr the melons !!

**Macy** · 06/02/2004, 8:21 AM

Cool, but the Pistols still took the credit for punk when it started in America in late 60's.....

Don't think he's too interested after the treatment he received over here at the height of his notoriety...

**max power** · 06/02/2004, 9:52 AM

well he has no passport, he is not irish.....thats a simple fact.

He's well liked by the Irish comunity in North London, at the height of his fame he still attended functions at the local schools with all the kids coming from Irish families. The ratings for IACGMOOH went through the roof around here as all the old ladies forget all his indiscretions and tune in to watch that lovely boy who was good to his mother and was an alter boy at St Mellitus church.

But I think I'll judge him by the incredible impact he made on the music world. After the dirge of glam rock and the hour long twiddlings of prog rock, after the utter crapness of crappy crap like the Eagles, Johnny Rotten was a beacon in the valley of 1970s music. A genius, who gobbed, spat and punched his way to the top. Will there ever be another moment like the 'you dirty b*****d' moment with Grundy at 6.30 on a current affairs programme? Will there ever be a band with the utter cheek to shout 'God Save the Queen and her fascist regime' at the height of the Jubliee celebrations? You can take your Kurt Cobains and Leonard Cohens, but noone will ever provide the rallying scream for disaffected youth like Johnny. An ugly, angry, demented genius. There will be better singers, better lyricists, better musicians, But he'll always be 'cool'.

No I would of beleived the same untill he's bring out a greatest hits and is going on tour.

not very Punk

Not very cool. but then he's not the biggest tit on the show

So??? He doesn't have to crawl around in a little box marked 'punk' for the rest of his life does he?

You were doing well there until you called Oasis 'iconic'...I think the word you want is 'moronic'.

you are dead right there ,he has no way near the biggest tits on the show.

**Macy** · 06/02/2004, 4:35 PM

If only Oasis had stopped with the Definitely Maybe...... Well possibly give you Whats the Story as well....

Mani from the Roses parents are Irish as well - now there's iconic....

**the scout** · 07/02/2004, 3:38 PM

bit sad really to see legendary character reduced to appearing on drivel tv like this.of all the so called "celebs" that appear on it frankly im amazed he agreed to do it.i think he had zilch to gain out of it.

**A face** · 08/02/2004, 9:22 PM

Johnny has been busy alright, i have seen him presenting a couple of shows that went to video, and music documentary stuff. He is always there but he seems to be very selective in the work he does.

Sorry to say, he has been on about it for years, anti corporations pop etc, he switches it off only the last year why because he's bringing out a greatest hits and going on tour, he was anti everything but punk and still is so I'm afraid to say sadloser he should practise what he preaches..... he doesn't
it was only very recently he started doing the tv interviews etc again wonder why.

its called raising your public profile when your carreer would benifit from doing it.look at royston brady,says zip for a year and when the euro election looms up he starts bad mouthing the dub city councillors.

You do realise that he's in the entertaintments industry right?

So he's not punker than punk itself. Whatever. I find it very hard to respect any multimillionaire who pretends that they're still down with 'it' or whatever the crazy kids call it these days.

Totally agree it's great to be against the world when you have a silver spoon.
