John Lyon aka Johnny Rotten has figured out the best way to promote the Sex Pistol reunion tour is to start a rivalry.

On Virgin Radio this week, Lyon went after the Police’s reunion tour:

That really is a reformation isn't it? But honestly that's like soggy old dead carcasses. You know listening to Stink trying to squeak through 'Roxanne' one more time that's not fun.

Strong words from a man whose bassist really is a soggy old dead carcass.

But it’s hard to blame Johnny Rotten for lashing out on the Police. For a rocker his age, the only other way he could get any attention at all is by starring on a VH1 reality TV show.
