    Steve Jones asking Malcolm McLaren "Have you ever taken a lie-detector test?" might be the greatest question ever asked in the history of interviews.

    Hi there again ! -..I think McClaren has been given a rather hard time over the years- with all the ex- pistols eventually turning to John's side in the '80s court case , & even the 'Filth & the Fury' had some digs , & the 1 image of Malcolm on the 'kiss This' comp in drag was a bit snide . I felt Steve & Paul kind of went with towing 'the Lydon line' really to avoid conflict ,but Steve's book is fair to Malcolm ( & Viv) & states how much they helped him - & without Malcolm & the shop ,Jordan, Dave Goodman, Jamie Reid etc.....it just wouldn't have happened.....& also i felt there was a real sense of performance listening to Malcolm ,he could be very witty , where Lydon could often be ...

After the split Lydon took McClaren & co to court .Jones & Cook were part of McClarens backing, but knowing any judgement would be tainted by the supposedly 'true ' Rock n Roll Swindle' story they were advised to change to Lydons side .After over 6 years McClaren was found negligent in their management, rather than dishonest , in that he had as little idea of where money was being spent as anyone else, & the group had signed a basic contract with McClaren without legal advice .

    I don't think McLaren advised or forced him to be a heroin addict, and that is pretty much how he wrecked his post-Pistols career. Sure the world and the industry weren't very fair about recognizing Jones as one of the major musical talents behind the Pistols--the other being Matlock, but he was very self-destructive.

    It’s not too hard to hate him. After the Sex pistols everything he did, to cut a long story short, failed. No taste, despite pretending otherwise throughout his life. The only bit that DID succeed (Pistols) succeeded only though luck. Several levels of blag, and bullshit, there’s so much provably nonsense things said in this interview. “These Mongolians, they’ve got the beat”. What? He’ was one morally dubious bullshitter too.

    John Lydon surely got a lot of people to hate this guy for no really good reason. why? Malcolm helped John Lydon to get where is is/ went. Because a lot of it was Malcolm McLaren's ideas. Big mouths and hyper social chatty personality types need other people to steer them, especially when they are young like John Lydon at the time. Vivienne Westwood...Also owes everything to him with her fashion empire now. She knew NOTHING, or very little except to make alterations and sew a few things when she met him. Everything she learned from him. IT WAS ALL HIS IDEAS. He went to art school. Some of the ideas of punk, especially the antagonist or social/ political forms of UK Punk is rooted in Situational-ism a 1960's confrontational philosophy/ politics, art movement...which Malcolm knew about. Jones and cook knew this and accepted it and him for all his sneaky and scammy ways.

    McClaren was fun to listen to but if you want to know what he was doing, just note the following when he mentions in the interview having run for London Mayor (in 2000) and he says he got 2 million votes (by a strange sort of calculation, 9% of 20 million Londoners): 1. Total turnout was 34%. 2. The number of votes cast in both rounds was 1.3 million, making the total population eligible roughly 4.9 million. 3. Malcolm withdrew before the election, thereby receiving 0 votes. But hey, why let the facts get in the way of a good life story!

    I've seen so many Malcolm McLaren interviews and he always came off as serious and blunt. Now all this laughing may be an act, but at the same time---this rare carefree and good-natured side might be only seen when the camera lights are off---but brought out here because he's being interviewed by Steve Jones.

    Malcolm and Tony Wilson I always thought got the short end of the stick for their brilliance and guts. Would the Pistols have happened without McLaren? Certainly not to the extent we know them now I'm sure. But to slag him off as this useless money grubber that messed everything up I never bought for a minute. Yeah, maybe he manipulated Glen out of the band. But he saw the brilliance in Sid to replace him. And yeah, he may have contributed to Sid's downfall - but he tried to keep Nancy away as much as everyone else. So Sid was doomed soon as he met her and got on the junk, and really Malcolm GLORIFIED him to the infamy he has to this day. The Great Rock N' Roll Swindle is really Sid's movie. And Sid looks and sounds fabulous in it! So yeah, it may have pissed a lot of money away, made Malcolm look like the bad guy. And Ronnie Bigg's taking the piss on everything. But most remember Sid in it, and rightfully so. So if that was just to make money from after Sid checked out, which he was going to anyways - gotta credit Malcolm for doing that. He could just as easily told Sid to piss off and bring Glen back or somebody else. And Sid would've died with Nancy in Essex or Akron unnoticed.

With some great lyrics from Lydon & some good cover versions they were 'up & running'..
