John Lydon - Aka Johnny Rotten, frontman with punk icons the Sex Pistols - has advised new bands not to go down the path of using a publicity campaign, even bashing Madonna in the process.
"My advice to young musicians is: You can do it for yourself, you really can. During the whole of my career I've never orchestrated a record with a tour and a publicity campaign." Rotten told the Daily Star. "It's never happened."
"
So what if we released our last album 31 years ago? We make records when we want not when we're told. We're not a shuttle bus service... Or The Rolling Stones." The notoriously outspoken singer added.
"It's more natural to create new material this way because there's a different kind of energy when you're out there. That's what the Sex Pistols are all about. We spend bugger all on publicity."
Lydon then went on to scoff Madonna and her constant media attention: "What is it [she] spends? About £250,000 a year to keep her pony-a**e face in the paper?"
