Johnny gets Rotten on GH III!
Ha ha ha : ) This one is pretty funny. John Lyden (AKA Johnny Rotten) formerly of legendary Punk band Sex Pistols and 80’s alt band Public Image Ltd was paid to promote Guitar Hero 3 (Activision) at one of the launch parties. He ended up bashing the game and going off on some crazy tangents instead. Good for you Johnny…F*#k the establishment! Here is an article from Destructoid embellishing.
The surly rocker continues to insult the product he’s paid to promote by saying “What I like is it weren’t teaching you how to be a rock star, it was teaching you how not to be a rock star…”
Sadly, that’s about all he said about Guitar Hero III, and the rest of the time on stage was spent ranting about everything but the music game. He finally rounds things out as the worst celebrity guest promoter ever by shouting “I AM ENGLAND” into a crowd of game journos that had to be looking at their watches and heading toward the door by then.
Kudos to OXM’s for the inclusion of a “swear counter” in the video, which hits nearly one-hundred by the end of the clip.
Well… He doesn’t really bash the product that bad. He said he loved the game, but he was bashing the idea of being a rock star and that its all BOLLOX…which is true!
Here’s some more Sex Pistols for your enjoyment

Why would they expect any different from John Lyden?
