Rotten Vs Bono, Geldof

08/30/05
. (Gigwise) The ex-Sex Pistol anarchist, who has hardly spoken in public in the last eighteent months, finally opened his trap and did some serious slagging off today�. Lydon is pissed off with old chum Bob Geldof for hinting that the Pistols would be playing Live 8: "Our names were touted around. And it looks like we turned it down. But the truth is I wasn't asked."

"I don't know what shock value he was trying to get by mentioning us. But I'm glad. It was a very shoddy and weak production anyway�And there weren't enough black faces in the show for my liking. I don't think it achieved anything. Bob Geldof is too self-serving."

He added to the Sun newspaper: "I don't like this attitude of trying to guilt us into doing something. That's the terror tactics of the Nazi party."

Continuing: "Every time I see Bono in those big fly glasses and tight leather pants I just can't hack it. I can't see that as solving the world's problems."

"He's crushing his testicles in tight trousers for world peace." [see full story for more] - Click here for the Full Story
