Ex Sex Pistols frontman Johnny Rotten has launched a fresh trade against Green Day.
The singer believes that Green Day wouldn’t have had a leg to stand on in the punk heyday and that they have since nicked punk’s ideas.
He blathered: “They’re sticky tape on a duck’s arse. They wouldn’t have survived it. We had to earn our wings.
“We made it easy for them to come in and nick things from us. Silly fat kids.
“It was hard times we went through for them to come and pinch our ideas.”

I think Johnny Rotten may be showing some form of jealousy over the band, His career in the music industry is over but he still wants his band to be seen as the main punk band, but he is scared Green Day will steal that title. Johnny Rotten needs to grow up, Wasn’t he one of the idols people looked up to? His attitude is the complete opposite to the attitude his band (sex pistols) had. He is showing his band and himself up.

- The Clash is The Fuckin’ Band! Johnny Rotten’s a bitter old fuckin’ homo and the sex pistols worshipped the devil. There Is no such thing as punk any fuckin’ way. Green Day’s Album Warning is one of the best albums ever made. Go listen to London Calling, the greatast album of all time and tell me what makes that punk. There is no such thing as punk. Green Day did not make American Idiot to make money, they made it for fuckin plessure you idiots.
- GD will Never be as good as the sex pistols
- Green day are a verry good pop rock band, but a
verry poor exsuse for a punk band! there like wot 30 yearsto late and its all out of context, how can u posibly atache somthing like what the
kids like joe strumer Johnny rotten did in the 70s to the here and now? u cant is redundent,punk is beautiful in its place, but whot sort of generation are we that has nothing to call its own, and is steeling from wot is asentally our parents music?
