John Lydon Attacks Arctic Monkeys

Wed, 03 Mar 2010 01:43:20 +1100

Sex Pistol John Lydon aka Johnny Rotten is now bagging Arctic Monkeys.

Lydon is calling them "A mockery".

Arctic Monkeys were on the end of a bashing from John Lydon in a recent interview with Q. The Sex Pistols frontman said the Sheffield indie rockers had no substance.

"That's not a band', he told the magazine. 'That's a showbiz construct. A mockery. That's very much like that awful band Green Day or Avril Lavigne'.

Lydon also knocked Alex Turner’s songwriting skills.

"He just turns on the computer and types in 'punk' and it goes ping. I see no gut-wrenching soul-searching going on there. Just pleasant little ditties. There's room for that, but I'm seeking more substance."
