What an utter ballbag... he never had any talent, he's just a stupid, sneering wanker who worships money, as this dismal sellout campaign confirms.

I'm a celebrity, that program about bugs, now this. It just makes a mockery of everything Lydon said during his time in the pistols and PIL. He must be really skint!

The Sex Pistols and John Lydon are the longest running joke in music history.even when Lydon sat on the stage of the stage of Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco and said those supposedly immortal words "Ever get the feeling you've been cheated?" people still never got it.the fact is they were always just in in for the money, the fame and the spotlight and to do so under the guise of Punk flew in the face of everything punk was actually about.They were a Joke are a Joke and always will be a Joke but so long as there are angry teenagers in the world they will have a platform.
