John Lydon has revealed that he’d “love” to re-record Pink Floyd’s classic album ‘The Dark Side Of The Moon’.
In an interview with Stool Pigeon, the Sex Pistols man explained that he was invited into the studio by Pink Floyd, but turned them down.
“Two years ago when they [Pink Floyd] came to LA, they asked me would I come on and do a bit of ‘Dark Side Of The Moon’ with them and the idea thrilled me no end.”
Lydon revealed. “Well no, it would have been very, very neat but it stunk a little in my head of ‘What am I doing here? I just don’t want to do it, but I wanted to do it, but just not when 20,000 people were there.'”
He added: “I came so close to doing it, it felt like I was trying to set myself up as some kind of pretentious person. I’m very wary of the jam session end of things.”
Despite not taking them up on the offer, Lydon confessed that he would still love to head into the studio with the legendary band.
“I’d have gone to a studio and played around with it there, but not for the bigger picture,” he admitted. “Privately. I’d love to go into the studio and do something with the album with them.”
