'"John Lydon(Johnny Rotten) - I've met David Gilmour a few times and I just think he's an all right bloke. When the surviving members of Pink Floyd came to Los Angeles they asked me would I come on and do a bit of it with them". "The idea thrilled me no end," he said. "I came so close to doing it ... but ultimately it felt like I was trying to set myself up as some kind of pretentious person. I'm wary of the jam-session end of things.
The punk-rock patriarch seemed torn. "I just don't want to do it," he said. "But I wanted to do it. But just not when 20,000 people were there. I'd have gone to a studio and played around with it there. But not for the bigger picture. Privately, I'd love to go into the studio and do something with the album with them."
It's difficult to imagine Johnny Rotten and Pink Floyd plying togeter.
