Sex Pistols Mainman Bashes 'Harassing Fans'

Sex Pistols lead singer John Lydon says harassing fans, such as those who threw bottles at the band at a Danish music festival, are "the very people we hate the most," according to AP.

Lydon, known as Johnny Rotten in the iconic British '70s punk band, also panned animal activists and the anti-abortion movement during his appearance Friday (March 10) on bandmate Steve Jones' radio show, called "Jonesy's Jukebox".

"We're Sex Pistols; we ain't fake," said Lydon, reminiscent of the band's snarling late bassist, Sid Vicious. "And we don't care."

Later on, Lydon reflected on the band's heyday, quick breakup and 1996 world reunion tour, but said he couldn't do it again, citing stage fright and infighting.

"I miss the Sex Pistols. I miss the lot of you," he said. "But if anybody thinks it's a jolly good wheeze, it's not. It's hard work."

Well he surely shows that he hate's every1.
But animal activists should burn, so no biggie.

Wut does he do now anyway?? I've seen him in all sorts of news just calling every1 a jackass.

Lydon loathes everyone that doesn't think he's God's gift to mankind; what else is new?
I think he's so concerned with not being fake that he's forgotten what's real.

Bassist Guy they werent a one hit wonder they had a no. 1 Album. I advise all of u to look on www.johnlydon.com and look at his biography. I am telling u now it will change your views on him. He is completely different to what you think. The man that brought punk to the world doesn't even want to be know as a punk rocker.... Check it out

Bullshit. He didn't bring punk to the world, he brought one album with a few good songs on it. That's not enough to start an entire musical genre.
