John Lydon, famously known as Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols, expressed his displeasure regarding his former bandmates touring with Frank Carter. He believes that their decision to tour undermines the band's legacy, equating the performances to 'karaoke.' He feels that the essence of the Sex Pistols is being trivialized and is not afraid to assert his role as the songwriter and voice of the original group. While his former bandmates continue to tour, Lydon is set to focus on his other band, Public Image Ltd., which has an extensive tour planned.
When I first heard that the Sex Pistols were touring this year without me, it pissed me off. It annoyed me. I just thought, 'They're absolutely going to kill all that was good with the Pistols by eliminating the point and the purpose of it all.'
I've never sold my soul to make a dollar. It's the Catholic in me - that guilt I don't want to trip.
I wrote the fucking songs, didn't I? I gave them the image. I was the frontman. I am the voice, what made the whole world sing.
They are trying to trivialize the whole show to get away with karaoke but in the long term I think you'll see who has the value and who doesn't.
