John Lydon from the Sex Pistols lashes out on Green Day. Here's what he has to say:

Don't try and tell me Green Day are punk. They're not, they're plonk and they're bandwagoning on something they didn't come up with themselves. I think they are phony.

The government's against you, the police are on you. So there we are fending off all that and it pisses me off that years later a wank outfit like Green Day hop in and nick all that and attach it to themselves.

They didn't earn their wings to do that and if they were true punk they wouldn't look anything like they do.
