London (ANI): Sex Pistol frontman John “Johnny Rotten" Lydon has revealed that he is not a fan of the Beatles- insisting that they didn"t put their heart in what they did. While the whole world appreciated the quality of 'Beatles" in their glory days, Lydon believes that the 1960"s band"s work was a cultivated operation, and therefore manufactured.

“[The Beatles] started out as a rock "n" roll imitation and a covers band [a reference to their early days when they covered the hits of the day]," the Daily Express quoted him, as telling on an interview. “They spent a few years learning their craft before they decided they were original geniuses," he said. “There was no great heart in anything they did. It was all a cultivated operation, and therefore manufactured," he added.
