'The show is about me': The Sex Pistols' Steve Jones urges John Lydon to 'grow up' after singer slams the series Pistol
Steve admitted that he couldn't understand why John, who is being played by Anson Boon in the show, is so upset about the series.
Last year, ex-frontman John took Steve and Paul to the High Court over the use of the punk band's songs in Disney's show Pistol, but lost the court battle. But he added that their success was not all about the music but the combination of the music that made it such an original sound, as he admitted he often doesn't listen to the lyrics of songs.
Confused: Steve said if Danny Boyle had wanted to adapt a show from John's memoir, then he, Paul Cook and Glen Matlock would have been 'thrilled' Not happy: The rock star's comments come after John aimed another gobbet of punk fuelled figurative phlegm at Oscar-winning director Danny Boyle over the six-part series, Lydon claimed embarking on the project without him was like 'telling the story of World War II without referring to Winston Churchill'.
'They have gone for the wrong end of things just to be sensational. I think there is much more quality to the Pistols than that.' In a statement confirming the series last January, Nick Grad, President, Original Programming, FX Entertainment, said: 'It's great to be back in business with Danny Boyle, an exceptional artist responsible for so many great feature films and TV series.
'It is the detonation point for British street culture...where ordinary young people had the stage and vented their fury and their fashion…and everyone had to watch & listen…and everyone feared them or followed them.
