Iggy Pop has taken a swipe at the state of rock music.
Punk icon Iggy Pop has revealed which bands he was referring to in his recent condemnation of rock music.
In a recent YouTube video promoting new album Preliminaires, the frontman took a swipe at "idiot thugs" who make "crappy music", which he has now explained include Limp Bizkit.
Asked who prompted the outburst by the Sun, Pop said: "Anyone from Smashing Pumpkins to - what's the one with Fred Durst?"
The singer added: "Yeah and there are a million billion of them and people think they're gods, man."
In the interview, Pop also told the newspaper that the inspiration for the new record, which is jazz influenced, came at a rural "shack" near his home in Miami, where he keeps all his favourite CDs.
Earlier this year, the Advertising Standards Authority banned a promotion for car insurance firm Swiftcover featuring the musician.
The watchdog received 12 complaints because the company does not offer insurance to members of the entertainment industry.
