John Lydon

Welcome to The Singers Talk Podcast based on my book of the same name. This week you’ll hear my conversation with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Destructee, and one of the iconic founders of Punk Rock: John Lydon (PiL, The Sex Pistols).   In this episode you’re gonna hear us talk about his unique approach to being a singer, and his philosophy behind the inner workings of the voice. We speak about his horrific stage fright, his false demons, and surprising shyness. How he stole some of his vocal style from Speedy Gonzalez, why it’s important to shred the rulebook (and the Sex Pistols), and his continuing search for something that hasn’t been sung already.   All my writer’s royalties from sales of the book benefit the kids and families at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital through our Music Gives to St. Jude Kids campaign.
