Sex Pistols Singer Knocks the Arctic Monkeys
by Brandon Rabideau
John "Don't Call Me Rotten" Lydon is not a fan of the Arctic Monkeys. In fact, in his words they are "a mockery".
The legendary Sex Pistols frontman spoke with Q recently about the group saying they lacked substance.
"That's not a band, that's a showbiz construct. A mockery. That's very much like that awful band Green Day or Avril Lavigne".
Of Alex Turner's song-writing 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."
