Sex Pistol Blasts Coldplay & Radiohead
Someone's getting cranky in their old age!
Johnny Rotten aka John Lydon, front man of The Sex Pistols has some choice words for his fellow lead singing Brits. Specifically Coldplay's Chris Martin and Radiohead's Thom Yorke.
The punk rocker rants:
"Coldplay and Radiohead bug the hell out of me because it's so soulless. It just seems pointless. It's nice, but it's tosh (rubbish). They don't care about you. They care about lining their coffers (money). There's nothing about heart and soul."
We're sure the band and their fans would beg to differ.

The man's an idiot!!! Coldplay are most definitely not souless! If all they cared about was lining their pockets they wouldn't have given every single one of their fans that came to their gigs a FREE live album would they? Or released it online for the whole world.
Thom York will step on your balls. And they fucking ROCK!! In Chicago they had a trippy laser show at the Planeterium and the background music was all Radiohead.
Go stick your thumb in your bum- asshole.
At least it's not that screamo shit on the radio.
coldplay is tosh!
but not radiohead…old man sounds cranky
sex pistol now impotent sword
I have to agree with him. BTW fatboy where is my fucking avatar? 24 hours is now 5 days. Take that cock out of your mouth for 5 minutes and do your fucking job or at least delegate to your flipper baby sister a.k.a. Tons O' Fun
Love me some Johnny Rotten. But Radiohead was giving away 'In Rainbows', which is really one of the best albums of the last 20 years - so you can't really say they are in it for the money, honey.
STFU! DONT FUCK WITH JHONNY ROTTEN !
i love him! hes soo funny if you check out some of his interviews you will know what real punk rock is! and who cares if he's chubby?? he dosnt need to look good ! he already rocks ! and i would love to see you say that to his face ..and like your such in good shape ? pig shit! listen to EMI and you will know why he's calling coldplay and radiohead out!
I love Johnny Rotten, and couldn't agree more. Thom Yorke is beyond obsessed with himself.
Re: blahblah12 – but i love radio head though they kind of remind me of the sex pistols they dont give a shit about money or fame.!
I have too much respect for Mr Lydon me and my best friend went to see them in Liverpool in 07 they put on a great show and Steve Jones signed her gay cowboys t-shirt
.
ha! Proof that Johnny Rotten still has a good head on his shoulders. Coldplay and Radiohead are both horrible bands that rely on hype rather than the music, yet claim otherwise.
well duh! thats what the music industry is all about. hail satan!!
Coldplay can eat a bowl of dicks soaked in HIV semen (you can a few bites too, Perez). Radiohead, on the other hand… greatest living band.
idk if I agree that radiohead deserves this, but Coldplay does. Both bands are soulless and Coldplay is def. money-hungry… like others said already, though, bands (like Radiohead) that release free albums can't be all about money.
..and he probably still gets chicks…
Radiohead is souless?? my ASS!!
who cares lol
theyre all losers
he could piss off. johnny rotten thinks hes so superior to every other band just because he was in the Sex Pistols. he is a douchebag to everyone.
I agree.
Fatty, just shut your man hole and walk away. It's The Sex Pistols. Coldplay and Radiohead fans don't matter. This guy started a revolution….a musical movement. I don't think Chris Martin has that kind of pull. Lets see if either of those bands is even being heard 30 years from now. The Sex Pistols still are.
When I went to see the Pistols, we were all standing around in the beer garden & Johnny Rotten walked through us & said 'Hello kiddies'. He was immediately showered with 'Fuck You' from everyone but what we really meant was 'You Are A God To Us'…later on (front row) he gave his jacket to one of my mates & all the money that everyone had thrown at him ($2 coins hurt like a motherfucker) to another mate.
Johnny Rotten/Pistols altered music for the better…he can say what he fucking well wants
Oh common perez its just his oppinion, Sex Pistol is a legendary band bigger than Coldplay and Radiohead could ever wish
I AM AN ANTI-CHRIST
I AM AN ANARCHIST
DON'T KNOW WHAT I WANT BUT
I KNOW HOW TO GET IT
I WANNA DESTROY THE PASSER BY COS I
WANNA BE ANARCHY
FUCKING LEGEND RIGHT THERE YOU DUMB TURD YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT REAL MUSIC YOU THINK YOUR GAY BOYS THE SEMI PRECIOUS WEAPONS ARE THE NEXT SEX PISTOLS! YES EVERYBODY HE REALLY SAID THAT! BUT OF COURSE JOHNS GONNA SAY SOMETHING NEGATIVE WHAT WAS THAT QUOTE OF HIS "THE MOST POSITIVE THING YOU CAN BE IN A BORING SOCIETY IS NEGATIVE"
remember when they were inducted to the rock n roll hall of fame and they refused to go there so johnny wrote that letter and the guy read it out loud ha ha he was calling them monkeys and shit stains lmao this guys a legend
fuck you perez
Radiohead soulless???? Oh yes, because the world 'soul' really jumps to mind when listening to the Sex Pistols….
This is the stupidest comment ever! I don't give a shit if some musician cares about me. they're only job is to put out a song that I might want to buy, I don't care about the, just whether or not they are entertaining. That other type of thinking is what messed up so many of Clay Aikens nut-job fans, thiking that they had some sort of relationship with him.
He's still sexier than you'll ever be!! You're so ugly, when you jerk off your hand tries to fall asleep…
ummmm HELLO, In Rainbows (one of THE BEST cds EVER made) was downloadable for FREE. Thanks Yorke, who is probably the most prolific song writer of our generation.
Radiohead owns.
No he's 100% right, idk about Radiohead tho. Although i don't really care for them Coldplay is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE. All of you who think Coldplay is good music need your ears checked
LOL -Johnny Rotten's made a career out of this kind of stuff
I LOVE LYDON!!haha
rock on johnny rotten! coldplay and radiohead SUCK.
Radiohead is tosh??!!! …I used to love you Johnny but in all honesty you've come up with NOTHING significant or 'soulful' in years….. you rate nowhere near Radiohead at the moment…..nowhere. Even Coldplay…and I'm not much of a fan…. is more productive than you now… get over yourself… the 70's are gone…..
…as for sexy tho' Johnny rocks sexiness… whereas Chris Martin looks like he'd have clammy, Brit, girly hands… ewwwww Tummy or not, Johnny wins hands down….
….and Thom York is one of the 'few' top lyricists of our time…. he's EXTRAORDINARY!!
From the neck down it looks like Perez…
Well, he's right about Coldplay but I doubt Radiohead are sellouts who only care about their money.
Johnny Rotten's always been cranky, nothing new here really.
Good god what happened to him, he looks terrible
He's in serious need of a 'tummy tuck'!
I'm with you John. And Yea, Radiohead gave away one record, but it was something that they got Millions of dollars in promotional value. It was all over the news and they got more famous out of it. John is right. Total Rubbish.
I'm not a fan of Coldplay and lost interest in Radiohead after their 3rd album. Johnny Rotten or Lydon (depending on his mood) can suck it. He stopped being relevant decades ago and I doubt anyone actually cares what his opinion is anyway. The only interesting Sex Pistol was Nancy Spungen…
hmm? I love Coldplay and I don't think they are all about the money, I mean come on they released a live album online for the whole world to download freely and btw who are the Sex Pistols?
Wow Perez must think we are as stupid as he is that he feels the need to translate tosh and coffers. Yo dipshit, both are still english words.
P.S. Coffers doesn't mean money it means chest or strongbox, or for in this case wallets, or bank accounts.
Jeez you are really a stupid tool. Get an Ed Hardy shit and go hang with Michael Lohan and Jon Gosslin.
exactly what's Lydon been doing lately?????????? STFU!
Rotten is the man! Someone one here said who is the Sex Pistols. Are you fucking serious?
Thom Yorke can suck it..hes always been a lil british bitch. Radiohead could fart on a record and dumb mofos would buy it. Coldplay is garbage!
Should have been a warning sign above the scroll down. I threw up in my mouth.

Ha! Johnny's the real deal, man!
*
Crudplay and Radiodouche are just a bunch of lame-assed pansies who couldn't marshall a genuine sense of what reality is if it fuckin' kicked 'em in the teeth like a good punker would do to 'em.
*
Getchyer Docs on and go kick some Crudplay and Radiodouche pansy ass and teeth in, Johnny! And take Henry Rollins with ya. Goddamn I'me sure ol' Hank'd love to kick those pantywaist primadonnas' teeth in. Man, those two bands make some of the worst excuses for "music" ever!
*
He is so totally right! Coldplay is rubbish. Radiohead was dead before they started.
Somebody felt the need to translate "lining their coffers"? How illiterate are we supposed to be?
* Ha! Johnny's the real deal, man!

what kind of musician would say that about radiohead? honestly. the man must be tasteless.
He was right for the time.
Radiohead and Coldplay are perfect for theirs.
Anyway, what he played was only emotion. Radiohead plays music. Deep, rich, beautiful music.
My new screensaver!
More like the sexless pistols. That man's face and body should be illegal.
I love the sex pistols, but I think it's very ironic that this statement is coming from a member of a band that was designed purely to make money! I mean Sid Vicious couldn't even play the bass, they just hired him because he looked punk rock and he could sell albums.
HAHAHAHA LOOK AT THE FUCKING LOOK OF IT! LIKE HE THINK HIS OPINION MATTERS RADIOHEAD IS THE BEST BAND EVER!!!!!!! AND COLDPLAY'S SONG'S ARE FULL OF EMOTION!!!!!!
radiohead is souless? what fucking crap. while i agree about coldplay, radiohead are just brilliant
Anyone who hasn't read Johnny Rotten's Book "Rotten: No Irish, No Blacks, No Dogs", should piss off. Johnny was the only Pistol with any integrity or moral compass. Johnny was the brains and heart of the Sex Pistols. Lydon thought it was wrong for the Sex Pistols to celebrate, via song, the train robbery of 1963, because it was the essentially the working man's wages on the train that was robbed. John Lydon was raised by irish parents among the English working class. The only Pistol with any true intellectual clarity and sorry if you didn't catch it because you are too busy being fed a line by the telly and being the borderline moronic illiterate american assholes the world has come to know and hate.
LMAO!!!!!!!! now, i'm nota big coldplay or radiohead fan, but lydon's comments made me piss myself laughing! how much of a hypocrit has this man become???
dunno how many of u on this thread are british,
But for those of u who are…………..quick question. when was the last time u saw or heard from him, apart from on the sell-out tv advertisments for "countrylife butter"???? where's the heart and soul in that???
Shut up you old fart! You haven't a clue. Just cos lead singers don't spit and pour beer on their audience doesn't mean they're souless!
I think Lydon could not be more wrong. Anyone who has seen Coldplay live knows that they pour their hearts into every song, and they always make sure that all of their fans get taken care of. I'm sure the same is true for Radiohead. Both bands have released free cd's, for heaven's sake.
They should not be criticized for being successful, a band can make it big without "selling out".
Btw who are the Sex Pistols again?
Johnny Rotten resents that without talentless Sid Vicious, he'd be as remembered the same way that "The Roaches" are remembered. Thom Yorke can pull off "ugly" much better, also. Some people have the right to feel superior just b/c they are, not bc they are snotty.
That old fart needs to STFU and take a nap!!
What a knob jockey. Chris Martin is a fucking musical GOD and Coldplay rule my world. The Sex Pistols are complete rubbish!
I've said it all along - Coldplay IS souless !! They are called COLDplay. THEY SUCK !
EWW he's a middle aged man who gave his soul to drugs and alcohol years ago. How can he ever talk about a soul. If he still has one I'm sure it's begging to get out of that gross body!
And yet both bands have albums out for free…
Don't get me wrong, I love the Sex Pistols, but considering that In Rainbows and Left, Right, Left, Right are available legally through the bands' websites free of charge, I don't really see any truth to his statement.
Re: caitlinbobaitlin – Hahahhahaa, brilliant call =P
Johnny rotten is a stupid talentless idiot! The whole band sucks. The singing is crappy the guitar playing is sloppy. They are the most souless band out there! Yeah cutting yourself with razors spitting on your fans killing your gf etc……..yup that's talent
lol, Good thing u translated that for me!!!!!!!
Thom Yorke and Radiohead are incredible….but I'm pretty sure Thom Yorke doesn't give a gray fuck about his fans.
Wait, you think fatass Beth Ditto is hott, and you say that this guy is unsexy because of his flab?
You may have lost a little weight, tubby. but you will ALWAYS be a fatass, fatass.
Johnny Rotten knows his shit. Coldplay is for the bland.
Jealous much?
It's actually really ironic that he's saying Radiohead has no soul/heart for music and that there only concern is money.
Wasn't the Sex Pistols message all about the working class man and basically "fuck capitalism/the establishment"? Well aparently not cause Johnny Rotten sold the Sex Pistols music catalog to Universal Music (aka sold-out BIG TIME to make some money)
So for everyone here defending Johnny Rotten, you look the biggest idiots ever. Johnny Rotten is obviously just trying to get some attention because his music career is over and most of the original fans of The Sex Pistols have turned their backs on them
Yes, I do beg to differ.
Chris Martin and Thom Yorke have such hypnotic and amazing voices.
he's right about coldplay
those arseholes should be kicked in the nuts
imagine what chris martin must be like to marry gwyneth???
DONT BE DISSING RADIOHEAD
This from a person who was in a fabricated band. Malcolm Mclarens little toy to play with. They are about as genuine as the partidge family or the Monkees.
You know what, I think Radiohead is extremely overrated, so I say GO JOHNNY ROTTEN!
LOVE HIM! Coldplay scares me.
