Former Sex Pistols guitarist Steve Jones has told the High Court he thinks Johnny Rotten is “a total d***” in a bitter dispute over the use of the punk band’s songs in an upcoming television series. Mr Jones and the band’s former drummer, Paul Cook, are suing the Sex Pistols’ former lead singer, real name John Lydon, for not allowing their songs to be used in " Pistol ", which is directed by Danny Boyle and is due to air next year. The six-part series, which is being made by Disney, is based on a 2016 memoir by Mr Jones called “Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol”. Mr Jones and Mr Cook argue that, under the terms of a band agreement made in 1998, decisions regarding licensing requests can be determined on a “majority rules basis”. Steve Jones was speaking from America when he now lives. --------- Saturday 17 July 1996 - it was 25 years ago today.
