I did a phone interview with Mr. Lydon and...he was fan of Queen. And it's true, Freddie invited him to do chorus in a song from News Of The World! He told me Freddie was very humble and nice with him.

Lydon is a very intelligent man with a good taste. Even when he has basically no social skills.

He didn't todl me the song. I can imagine Sheer Heart Attack

Didn't he and Sid totally diss Freddie and Queen in an interview back then?
I can't find the footage, but it is/was on YouTube.
John always struck me as a poser, totally manufactured by Malcolm McLaren.
In recent interviews you can almost see him break, not being able to keep up the farce anymore.
This is apparent in his recent interview with Piers Morgan.

Fred invited him to sing on a Roger's song? I mean, well, perhaps... we'll probably never know.

As far as I know, it was only Sid Vicious who said a couple of nasty things about Freddie, namely that he looked like a Turk (not sure that's a bad thing, but apparently he thought so) and that he was appalingly ugly with a thick beard - something to that effect. I can't find it on YouTube anymore either. Sid was just an absolutely obnoxious and destructive piece of work.
Anyway, John Lydon has turned out to be quite an intelligent bloke who usually manages to say a few smart things in interviews. He himself now says that the whole concept of anarchy was just a con to make people believe they had some type of power, when in reality anarchy would never work and is one of the worst possible systems.
He also mentioned, way back in the 70s, in an interview which wasn't broadcast, that Jimmy Savile was a hypocrite and a seedy perv. This only came out after Savile was outed as the nation's biggest sex offender. That alone wins him some respect in my book - and I'm glad to hear he was a fan of Queen.

John Lydon a posser? Woooh. Listen his discography with P.I.L. The Fairy King.
If you don't know about anything, don't talk, don't write. Read and listen, Mr. Feracious.

John Lydon is a decent bloke, always was, he was definitely conned by Malcolm McLaren to make money. Sid on the other hand was a complete wanker who murdered his girlfriend.

Well...Lydon wanted to do a real band from The Sex Pistols. One of the songs from his debut with P.I.L. Religion, was compused by him for a second album by the Sex Pistols. McLaren stolen all the money....Lydon was a very different person.

Sebastian, is only my theory. Roger described always Sheer Heart attack as a hard rock punk song.

Calm your tits.
Please read what i said. Plus it's MY opinion of the guy.
It's no secret the Sex Pistols were in fact manufactured, not unlike Take That and One Direction. I always thought Johnny was just being negative for the sake of being negative.
The interview with Piers kind of made me like him a bit.
Still think his music is uninspired drivel though.
By the way it's "ferocious" and "poser". :P

I remember the words, but i don't remember who said what in that interview. It's possible it was Sid who actually said it. Shame we can't find it. :(
Yes, the Savile subject was especially shocking. The guy apparantly warned the media...they didn't do shit about it. It's possible his reputation back then('78) caused people to not take him seriously.
