Lydon wants no part in getting to No1

[apa]

I think hes got the wrong end of the stick on this one. Its about putting two fingers up again rather than the success! But hey its his song.

I think the point he's making is that re-releasing it is the opposite of sticking two fingers up, particularly as it seems to be the record company that's pushing the idea.

And, butter ads notwithstanding, I think he's right.

The rebellion got bought. Nice that people are doing stuff to celebrate my birthday though.

Oh dear,John's peeved that the record company the Pistols have recently signed to want to make some money...

Lol, nothing like a good bit of bad publicity to earn a few quid more.

Shame, but only cos I was hoping they might tour again. Apparently Never Mind The Bollocks is going to be re-masterered and released this year - wonder what they`ll do to it.

Good on him, as Skank said, the occasional butter commercial hasn't really maintained his personal cred, but unless he's a lot more savvy than most senior advertising execs, he's looking after the band's legacy here (although it may be that he personally has very little to gain financially from a GStQ number one anyway?)
