Re: ‘Yauch taught Mick Jones how to play Clash City Rockers’
Funnily enough, I remember asking John about that same subject, back when No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs came out, but in a different context.It's so weird how much Lydon harps on about hating the Clash but it seems like he hung out with them plenty.
I asked if there wasn't a slight disconnect between the guy who 'd worn that I HATE PINK FLOYD T-shirt, and the one I'd seen pictured in Q recently, hanging out with Dave Gilmour. He responded that it was perfectly possible for him to hang out like that, with anybody, even if he didn't like their music. So I assume that would apply to the Clash and its members, too.

In other words, he loves being a celebrity and hanging out with celebrities and feeling elite.Chairman Ralph wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 7:15pmFunnily enough, I remember asking John about that same subject, back when No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs came out, but in a different context.It's so weird how much Lydon harps on about hating the Clash but it seems like he hung out with them plenty.

Re: ‘Yauch taught Mick Jones how to play Clash City Rockers’
I thought it important to let everyone know that Flex isn't as good as even a second-rate Pauly Shore, but to give him a smidgeon of dignity by allowing that he's better than a fourth-rate Pauly Shore. Maybe I'm too generous with the last, but I'll handle the criticism.Wolter wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 11:19pmYou could save 13 keystrokes and just say “with Pauly Shore.”Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 8:23pmIt's like hanging out with a third-rate Pauly Shore.Flex wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 7:44pmi get it - it's the same feeling you all get when i post here and there's nothing wrong with that.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑22 Oct 2018, 7:18pmIn other words, he loves being a celebrity and hanging out with celebrities and feeling elite.

Re: ‘Yauch taught Mick Jones how to play Clash City Rockers’
it was always kinda mind-blowing how crap Mike D always looked...oh well
for the record, I know someone who got invited back (with a group of people)
to Lydon's house after a pub session (Chelsea)
she doesn't know squat about music but she insisted he was a lovely guy!

Re: ‘Yauch taught Mick Jones how to play Clash City Rockers’
John was always friends with Paul. And he is kind about Mick.
It's only Joe he had a problem with. When he mentions the Clash he means Joe and the bands music. And the stuff about Joe however biting it may seem in an interview is not really bitter but just bIanter. I don't think a lot of Americans (not all) ever get this about the English we like giving each other stick and taking the piss. A lot of what seems like baiting is only banter.

Re: ‘Yauch taught Mick Jones how to play Clash City Rockers’
I saw an unguarded interview on YouTube a while back with some fans after a gig and he was really quite cutting about Strummer and it seemed sad and unnecessary. I honestly think he is jealous of the way the Clash's legend has risen over the years, maybe not to surpass the Pistols, but to put them on an equal footing.Marky Dread wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018, 3:07pmJohn was always friends with Paul.

I've not seen that interview. But it really doesn't surprise me in the least. It's very tiresome and John is like a caricature of his former self these days.Heston wrote: ↑23 Oct 2018, 6:36pmI saw an unguarded interview on YouTube a while back with some fans after a gig and he was really quite cutting about Strummer and it seemed sad and unnecessary.

I know John has never liked The Clash's music just like he hates The Beatles music. I know he had a thing about Joe coming from a priveledged background and then think's somehow he gave Joe a career. Which is total nonsense really sure Joe took inspiration from seeing the Pistols but he had a fucking big heart and courage to make that jump into the unknown. Like I said to doc in another thread I'm happy with the music and I don't have to care about the person letting me down. Plus there were five Sex Pistols.
