“This photo was taken at Virgin Records offices around 1979 when John Lydon was reluctantly doing publicity for Public Image Limited’s groundbreaking Metal Box album. Guitarist Keith Levene and Jeannette Lee, their collaborator/ filmmaker, were also present, but John was the band’s natural spokesman and focal point. John Lydon’s unrivalled sneer and other expressions are all that a photographer can hope for, but this persona also can be intimidating. That day he was very subdued, and this picture captures a part of his personality that wasn’t often on public display.”David Corio
