Johnny Rotten, also known as John Lydon, the lead singer of The Sex Pistols has some choice words for his fellow British front men, specifically Coldplay’s Chris Martin and Radiohead’s Thom Yorke. The punk rock singer ranted “Coldplay and Radiohead bug the hell out of me because it’s so soulless. It just seems pointless. It’s nice, but it’s tosh (rubbish). They don’t care about you. They care about lining their coffers (money). There’s nothing about heart and soul.” I’m pretty sure that the members of the two bands and their legions of fans would beg to differ. I just think that someone’s getting cranky with old age.

It seems the former Sex Pistols front man isn’t too happy with today’s bands, more specifically Coldplay and Radiohead whom he considers to be lacking of soul. This is what John Lydon said on the matter: “Coldplay and Radiohead bug the hell out of me because it’s so soulless. It just seems pointless. It’s nice but it’s tosh. They don’t care about you. They care about lining their coffers. There’s nothing about heart and soul, they don’t know about heart and soul, they don’t know about people dying, living and aspiring.” Well, if anybody knows about soul and heart it’s definitely John Lydon… those guys better shape up. That is, if they’re actually interested in making real music.

Punk veteran John Lydon, formerly Johnny Rotten, the notorious frontman of the Sex Pistols, is reforming his second band, Public Image Ltd (PiL), after 17 years.
The band will embark on a mini-tour starting in the UK in December, Lydon, 53, has revealed.
“We’ll see where we can go. Some things may be quite similar, some may not,” he said.
The Sex Pistols were pioneers of the 1970s punk movement in England, with singles such as Anarchy In The UK and God Save The Queen.
Lydon formed PiL in 1978 – 12 months after the disintegration of the Sex Pistols – and the group lasted for eight years.

It has been 30 years since the one and only album released by punk band The Sex Pistols, titled ‘Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols’.
But new reports say that Johnny Rotten, Glen Matlock, Steve Jones & Paul Cook are ready to hit the studio again and may release a new album this year.
Last year, the band re-recorded ‘Anarchy In The UK’ for Guitar Hero III. A new version of ‘Pretty Vacant’ was done at the same time but remains unreleased. Later this year, the Pistols will reform for a fully-fledged tour of Festivals. The new material is to modernize the set list.
‘Never Mind The Bollocks, Here’s The Sex Pistols’ was their one and only studio album. It was released in October 1977. Johnny Rotten left the group in January 1978. It was truly a short story.

The Sex Pistols are facing a $100 fine after openly flouting a smoking ban at a concert in London. The punk icons were playing at London’s Brixton Academy when the band lit up several cigarettes on stage, breaking the new law which came into force on July 1, banning smoking in all enclosed public places. A mere $100 for openly flouting a smoking ban, isn’t that a complete joke or what, the rules need to be relooked at and the rules for gigs need to be revaluated. For fans smoking at such gigs the fine of $100 is fine but for these super rich bands it should be a cool hundred thousand $$$ so that they would pay attention to the rules. Now come on you clumsy police officials you can do better, you are putting such a small fine that anyone would be happy to break the rules and hog the headlines. The London police are like inviting them to break the rules, pay a $100 and you can go away with a simple thank you.
