CNN.com - Johnny Rotten disses punk box set - Oct. 22, 2003





Left unspoken is a 'no thanks' to the Sex Pistols.



Rhino has launched an ad campaign that lists all the bands appearing on their box, and 'bands that just said, `no thanks:' the Sex Pistols.



'Here are 100 tracks to tell 99 percent of the story,' Rhino says. 'For the rest, dust off your copy of `Never Mind the Bollocks,'' the first Sex Pistols album.



Even Salata admits that Lydon showed a certain punk rock spirit in telling Rhino to get lost.



'We didn't want to pick a fight with John Lydon,' he said. 'But it doesn't seem too difficult to pick a fight with John Lydon.'
