John Lydon Praises Lady Gaga but 'Hates' Green Day

Some of you are trolling, I hope.

Green Day are okay...I like their older stuff...but they're not really "punk". They never were. I just think they're even worse now because they're jumping on the punk bandwagon, trying to go political, wearing makeup etc. etc. Rolling Stone rated them number one punk band of all time which is just...crazy....I mean, especially since they're not even "punk". They beat Black Flag, Dead Kennedys, Sex Pistols and eveyrone else. What the hell?

Glen Matlock likes Green Day, John Lydon doesn't.. so what!? Green Day's a good band! punk or not.

John Lydon is stupid Green Day They are not afraid to tell their opinion in songs like american idiot! billie joe always wrote his songs even as they are capable of being very vulgere it's just that they are more mature than before but they are 3 guys in 38 years and sometimes they have a mind of 15 years and have green day several styles depending on their songs

Green Day suck. don't care how big and rich they are but nothing they do will ever match NMTB or London Calling.

Woah. First off, whether you like them or not, Green Day's musical skill is significantly better than anything John Lydon could come up with. Lydon didn't do a thing for punk. It was Glen Matlock that wrote the lyrics, and they kicked him out when he wouldn't dress up in Vivienne Westwood's apparel and do what Malcolm McLaren wanted. And just for your information, Matlock was quoted in an interview as saying he liked Green Day, same thing with one of Joe Strummer's last interviews and Joey Ramone and others. Hell, Iggy Pop worked with them! Iggy's a fan and a friend. I could go on and on with the list.

Old bitter-ass Lydon swung around acting stupid in a band that was put together like a boy band. He has no right to go on about Green Day not earning their stripes. And unless you've heard Green Day's back story or know half as much about punk and music in general as you think you do, then you best keep your traps shut. Green Day started as friends in a tiny town, broken homes with all kinds of problem. They got together to form a band with what little money they could earn, were in the Gilman Street Project and made two albums. They realized if they wanted to keep being a full-time band, they'd have to go major because at that time independent bands didn't get as much help as they do now. They did, and they didn't change who they were. Idiots would couldn't look past the major label "wrappings". If it's good, it's good-- these people couldn't see that.

Green Day got flack from all directions. Did they quit? NO. They kept going because it was what THEY wanted. Green Day didn't ride off the success of their other albums, they put out an album when it felt right. Other bands just keep putting one album after another in hopes the success will be steady. And all through this, Green Day have stuck to what they believe in. They do it for themselves, for the fans, and don't give a shit about others opinions. They're husbands, fathers, role models, and brilliant people. Going to a concert feels like an intimate showing.

So, John Lydon can stick that up his ass.

Lydon didnt rest on his pistol laurels, afterwards he created Public Image Ltd, a very good and influential band.

Green Day and Gaga are both crap, and not appreciated by anyone who knows anything about music. Im sure Lydon is being ironic here.

green day sucks

It was at this point, that AMERICA went to hell. We should have as parents put them all in a barn and lit it on fire.....what a waste of human beings.

When you put your finger down your throat to induce vomiting what do you say?
