John Lydon: 'Gorillaz are s***'

John Lydon has revealed that he thinks Gorillaz are "s**t".

The former Sex Pistol added that he thinks there was more "original talent" 30 years ago.

The punk singer was interviewed by NME before he took to the stage at the Benicàssim International Festival with Public Image Ltd.

He said: "I really don't wanna talk about s**t like the Gorillaz, you know what I mean? Come on, I'm the originator - don't toss us with that.

"I think there's less original talent now than 30 years ago. It's much more manufactured. And the shame is I opened so many doors for so many people and they've all foolishly slammed it behind them.

"So what you get now is a melange of s**t."
