"It’s not their fault that they’re talentless and can’t fucking move on."
So says former Sex Pistols frontman John Lydon, speaking about his former friends/bandmates Steve Jones, Glen Matlock and Paul Cook in a new interview. But given that he seems compelled to speak about the trio, and their new alliance with former Gallows frontman Frank Carter, in every single interview he's conducting at present to promote Public Image Ltd's upcoming European tour, one might wonder exactly which party is struggling hardest to move on?
Last week, in an interview with LouderThanWar, Lydon, 69, shared his thoughts on the shows than Carter, Jones, Matlock and Cook have been playing, to what has been widespread critical acclaim from the music press, online media and broadsheet newspapers alike. Having claimed to have watched videos of some of these performances. Lydon said, “I’ve been shocked how awful it is. It just seems like they’ve rented a puppet and there it is. It is truly karaoke I think with really mediocre results."
