He's selling out just uttering her name.

/shhhh.. she'll go away eventually
//just stop saying her name

He may be wrong... he may be right.

But it is better to burn out than to fade away

Why write her a song when you have Pretty Vacant in your repertoire?

If only Sid Vicious was still around.

It's worth a shot. Anything to get her away from Boyz2Men type producers.

It's all about the filthy lucre...

If he thinks you're in bad shape... well you're on deaths door

PacManDreaming: Why write her a song when you have Pretty Vacant in your repertoire?

It'll only be funny if she pronounces it the way he did:

"vay... kunt"

That's actually a really good idea. But it shouldn't just be him. Her next album should feature songs by Johnny Rotten, Jello Biafra, Al Jourgensen, Meshuggah, Siouxsie Sioux, and Nashville Pussy. Good or bad, it would certainly be interesting.

Great list. I'd add: The Plasmatics, Mr. Bungle, Bjork, Bong Water, Laurie Anderson...

what a tool. Rotten is a waste of space.

Adman12: He may be wrong... he may be right.

Nicely played, going with the PIL reference.

snuff3r: He's selling out just uttering her name.

Too late. He sold out in the '70s.

Well someone from an early boyband is looking for an easy way to cash in... I am shocked. Fark Rotten and the pistols.

/I would rather scrape dried up feces off of amy winehouse's anal beads then to listen to anything "created" by these two

snuff3r: He's selling out just uttering her name.

Nope, it's the most punk thing he could possibly do.

/besides a country album
//and Jello Biafra already did that

Ace Frehley's Ghost: Nope, it's the most punk thing he could possibly do.

/besides a country album

Even better to do it, then call it a bloody farking abortion after the fact.

This article is either media manipulation used to serve the purpose of an advertisement of what is to come (meaning Rotten and Spears have already spoken or recorded), or just plain false. I am leaning towards the 1st.
Britney does not need 'help'. She makes upwards of $700,000 per month for doing virtually nothing at all.

OMG, what if they had children?
Studio romance gone bad.

"I think we should just trust our president in every decision he makes."
-- Britney Spears, 2003

Her only hope is to record some "christian" music and release a book telling the world how Jebus saved her. Those people will forgive anything and she could make a career out of pandering to them.

i read that as "Johnny Rotten Wants to give Brittney Spears a new flesh wound," and then was disappointed.

Nestea Plunge: kungfu jesus with a side of lime: Well someone from an early boyband

Shows how much you know: fark-all of nothing.

Just ignore him, he drops those turds in every Pistols thread despite being shown evidence that they were by no means a boy band.

He's a troll.

And for the record, that's how Mr. Lydon makes his living now: being a troll. Being provacative. "I wanna work with Britney Spears" because he know the press and Teh Farks will eat it up.

I'd pay good money just to watch Johnny Rotten sling insults at Britney on a treadmill. I don't know why I thought about that when I read the headline, but I did. So there it is.

Poptones

Nestea Plunge: Rotten is so punk rock he pisses off his own fans. I can respect that.

This,

what most people realize is (real)-punk is a anarchist movement.

There are many different types of punk, johnny just happens to be a left leaning Anarcho-capitalist.

and maybe The Cramps?

That'll take alot of energy but he's got it.

Rockman64:

Dead milkman. (ask me to dance)

Shaving your head, doing drugs, and an utter disregard for one's health and life... what's more punk than that?

She's a helluva lot more punk than Lilly Allen or Avril Lavigne (who pretend to be punk).

museamused: Shaving your head, doing drugs, and an utter disregard for one's health and life... what's more punk than that?


you know what, true.

She's probebly been "punk" all along, just coasting on deals made on her behalf when she was a minor.

Maybe he can help her identify all the different species of crotch critters she has.

...how about playing some music?

/ punk is music not a lifestyle despite the efforts of many in the media to define it as such
// just like "jazz" is not really a lifestyle, and not even "blues" or "country"

I'm ready to listen to the results of the collaboration.

The only sound I wanna hear from Britney is "slurp, slurp, slurp."

Perhaps a milkshake will keep her out of the news for a few minutes.

mooseyfate:

Yes. OMFG yes. I can't stop picturing that now.
You, my friend, are a gentleman and a scholar.

FredaDeStilleto: If only Sid Vicious was still around.

Sid = cool
Rotten = loser

Red_Fox: FredaDeStilleto: If only Sid Vicious was still around.

I'm not going to argue the point about Johnny, but what planet are you from where Sid Vicious was cool? Here on earth he was a farked up mess.

PacManDreaming: Why write her a song when you have Pretty Vacant in your repertoire?

came here to say something similar

Red_Fox: Sid = cool

Sid invested the position of poser.

He couldn't play, didn 't care to, and adopted his artificial nihilism like some don a t-shirt. He was considered a worthless c*nt or a sad wannabe by nearly everyone who ever knew him. His entire skill was his ability to transform into an iconic image.

Most importantly, his hiring signaled the demise of one of the world's great rock bands.

It's because of him, and Malcolm, that people make the highly mistaken judgement that the pistols were a boy band.

Some unsolicited advice: Don't believe history when it's hanging in a head shop.

The Dynamite Monkey: He couldn't play, didn 't care to, and adopted his artificial nihilism like some don a t-shirt. He was considered a worthless c*nt or a sad wannabe by nearly everyone who ever knew him. His entire skill was his ability to transform into an iconic image.

That took some serious skill. Don't sell short the highly demanding job of "poser." Besides, the Sex Pistols played to about 50 people in Baton Rouge, Louisiana during the heart of the Jimmy Swaggart era. That's punk. Come to think of it, the timing and the geography are just about right. If Brit's mother was at the show, Johnny Rotten could be Britney Spears' father.

Nestea Plunge: Red_Fox: FredaDeStilleto: If only Sid Vicious was still around.

Go sit down and listen to some Nickelback like a nice boy.

Yes, because the Sex Pistols are the EPITOME OF BADITUDE. Their stupid antics are shocking if you are 12.

/not a punk fan
//Crass = 1000x better

Which in turn was orginally done in 1976 by a band called the Arrows.

Sid? wtf? Sid couldn't play a note. And if its just acting like an asshat that makes you a punk, well, then most of our govt would fall into that category.

If Sid was still around? He would be a fat bloated junkie just like all the other 70s musicians that haven't croaked yet, and the sex pistols would have all the credibility and relevance of the Thompson Twins.

The whole point of punk was to suck.

Good Punk is an oxymoron.

NYZooMan: The whole point of punk was to suck.

No, it wasn't.

The whole point of punk was to take rock and roll out of the hands of the big stodgy labels and return to the visceral qualities rock had in the 50s and early 60s -- but in a modern context, without being totally retro.

It was an art movement. One that was nearly totally co-opted by the very forces it railed against, and reduced by the media into a stylistic monolith of spiky hair and nihilism.

The hardcore movement of the early 80s also bears a lot of blame for the limited perceptions of punk.

But I am guessing you probably know that and are just another troll.

Or some guy who desperately needs a Clash album.
