Johnny Rotten has branded Coldplay a bunch of "poncey masturbators".The Sex Pistols frontman pities the people who go to watch the band - who are currently number one in the UK album charts with new album 'Viva La Vida Or Death and All His Friends' - because they are just "men in anoraks".He told Britain's The Sun newspaper: "I pity the poor b*****s who have to watch them. They are utterly humourless. "I met them a few years ago, said hello and realised they were just men in anoraks. They looked like a gang of little poncey masturbators."There is no fun, they don't offer joy. Their music has a couple of quite nice tones here and there but it's a box of tosh sold to slightly inadequate, half-baked people."Speaking after the Sex Pistols headlined the Isle of Wight festival on Saturday (14.06.08), Johnny - real name John Lydon - also revealed the band are considering recording a new album.He said: "There could be a new record. That would be nice.
