Johnny Rotten - The twins can't sing - The X Factor

Kimmoiserie · 10-11-2009, 14:18

Johnny Rotten the tuneless PR frontman for one of the biggest manufactured media frenzy pop phenomena of the 20th centurey, has taken time out of his busy schedule advertising butter to wade into the public debate over John and Edward, claiming that the plucky tuneless frontmen of one of the biggest manufactured media frenzy pop phenomena of the 21st century, can't actually sing.

Next week: The Chuckle Bros enter the debate, claiming John and Edward aren't actually brothers.

Neither can Rotten. I've seen him live. Lydon hasn't said anything interesting or relevant for that matter since 1981.

Fringo · 10-11-2009, 14:20

God he's a tool isn't he?

No sh*t sherlock.

Have J & E taken on Malcolm McLaren as manager, then?

Kimmoiserie · 10-11-2009, 14:20

I really wish people would stop responding literally to irony around here.

He should. Didn't him and Rotten use the phrase "Ever get the feeling you've been conned?"

Is Sid not spread all over Heathrow Airport? There's an urban legend his mum dropped his ashes.

Dear, dear Johnny... Go back to your butter ads, there's a sellout... I mean pet!

AAAAAYE AM AN ANTI-KERIST-AH
AAAAAYE AM AN ANARCHIST-AH!

Hey, there's an idea! Get Jedward to sing "God Save The Queen"!

Cowell makes McLaren look like a rank amateur when it comes to publicity stunts!

Utter genius. The Great Rock n Roll Swindle part Two. I'm guessing Cowell learned his trade at the right hand of McLaren.

Oh god - I can actually picture this!

Tfan26 · 10-11-2009, 14:25

I agree they can't sing but Rotten can't judge.

Their album could be titled "Never Mind the Talent, Here's Some Bollocks."

Ellef · 10-11-2009, 14:26

Bit rich coming from a man who fronted a band which was famous for never rehearsing.

I would love to see the twins' take on "Pretty Vacant" though!

There will be a queue to shove the pin through her nose.

I once watched him being forced off the stage by the crowd throwing bottles at them when he was fronting P.I.L .

Absolutely dreadful , without the 'anti establishment' punk movement behind him that sex pistols had he was nothing.

mitacond · 10-11-2009, 14:32

OP it would be hilarious it really would.
