Rotten spoils Guitar Hero III UK launch party
Johnny Rotten put on quite a show for everyone at Guitar Hero III’s UK launch party. The evening’s festivities started with Johnny saying “I’ll give it to you basic and honest, the offer came in and I took it home and I played it with a bunch of kids. 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…”

Johnny briefly discussed recording the tracks Anarchy in The UK and Pretty Vacant, but that ended all the video game talk. And what follows can only be described as a political tirade sprinkled with sporadic outbreaks of dodge the microphone. Truly it is more then can be put into words and thankfully the guys at OXM captured this special moment on video. Check it out at OXM.co.uk, but keep the volume down if you are not listening on headphones. After listening you will have a good idea where the name Rotten comes from, as Johnny frequently uses many naughty words.
Thank god Johnny told us all this game does not teach one how to be a real rock star. Think of all the gamers out there who were contemplating quitting their jobs to try and buy this game all in the hopes of becoming the next Jukebox Hero.
Thanks to mu for submitting.








Lol that guys song sucked IMO anyway.
Fair enough if you don’t like the tunes, but they were one of the most influential bands ever, and had a lot more going for them than the manufactured twee shite that gets mass marketed these days.
thank god you’re on board with the pistols, glovner. i would have dropped dead on the spot if you talked smack about them or johnny. sid maybe, but that’s cause he was such a nasty junkie scumbag.
Nasty junkie scum bag?
You need to wake up and smell the shite mate if all you see is that when you look or listen to Sid. Your a fucking reprobate compared to vicious
you obviously haven’t had friends die from junk after idolizing the man. you are right though, i should not have talked smack about the man, but he was one fucked up individual.
OXM could have edited the video clip. 30 mins of crazy punk ranting..was all i could bare. So much for Guitar Hero 3 juice
Well you didn’t have to stay and watch it all…
LMAO! Best thing I’ve seen all day!
Give ‘em hell, Johnny!
yeh, hes bang on- but rantin at a games launch party?
somebody made a bad choice of celeb endorsement
I agree. They should have selected someone who’s willing to kiss ass and follow a script. JR is NOT that kind of person, and I’m glad. The world has enough sheep.
he is a retard… ozzie osborne makes more sense.
he is lame…ozzy is the bomb
oh my god, you ten year old dipshits.
Johnny Rotten always has been and forever will be… a giant douchebag.
yeah, hop on that bandwagon you fucking twat. you probably don’t even know who he is, you baneful little bitch.
I bet he wasn’t rock and roll enough to refuse his paycheck… fucking wanker
rock ‘n roll is all about getting paid. what fucking universe do you fucking live in?
In the working real hard every day universe.
obviously, that is far removed from rock and roll.
Which is why I don’t refuse my paycheck and if JR is really rock and roll he should, especially after not doing the job he was hired to do.
And another thing mu, I’m 41, I was actually there when it all happened… they were wrong about “no future” weren’t they, except for Sidney perhaps.
sounds like you have lost touch with your roots germain.
and as far as “no future” is concerned, it is pretty obvious you are taking them a little more literally than anyone with any common sense would. time will continue; when they said no future, what they were referring to was our present. and they were as so right, they may has well have been psychic. we are exactly where they predicted.
and the job he was hired to do was allow ea to rape his music. that he did. and as far as pr goes, i think they got as much from him as from any other individual. he deserves to get paid. hell, ea may have ASKED him to make a fucking scene. anybody ever think of that?
and i am begging you to find me a rock star that isn’t in it for the money dude. begging you.
A has been with a microphone, predictable….
a ‘has been’ implies he was something at some point. Lets not give him too much credit.
sad dude, johhny was certainly a part of punk history. you don’t have to like or respect him, but to call him a nobody makes you look ignorant.
Johnny Lydon was never more than a pathetic drunk with green hair and the right ‘attitude’ to ’speak’ for a lost generation of piss poor British youth.
Yes, he was part of punk history. But I’m sorry, without the likes of Black Flag, New York Dolls and the Ramones among others, this genre would’ve never got anywhere.
The SexPistols, and Johnny Rotten by extension, made a name for themsleves for swearing on national tv, and exposing themselves at their live shows. They were there to shock first, and play music second.
‘Punks’ of the 70’s are no different in my mind than the ghetto fabulous ‘gangsters’ of today’s hip hop music world. Its all an image mu. Nothing more, nothing less.
and yes, considering that being obnoxious, foul mouthed and full of yourself is what brought Johnny to fame, its completedly predictable that this happened.
but look, we’re all talking about it. From the organizers POV, this must be seen as a success (even though he blasted the very product he was there to promote). Bad casting job.
i am pretty sure you are confusing johnny with sid, but if you are not, then you obviously got your info from “behind the band” on mt fucking v.
and johnny certainly may have been more about the message than the music, but that is because he had something important to say. you obviously don’t think that is true because you have ea stock. his message basically was, and always has been, “don’t buy ea stock, they are a bunch of creativity destroying pricks.”
and yes, there were some punks that were “all about the image” mass9. sounds like you may have even been one in high school, but that has nothing to do with johnny.
and what the hell does his attitude have to do with the class of people he is able to represent.
Stick to the computer games ya fuckin moron. Also, go buy some Public Image records and educate yourself.
And the Sex Pistols have just been announced as the Saturday night headliners at the Isle of Wight Festival.
Haha … I find it funny there are guys on this forum who say he’s a nobody … he was more of a somebody that you will ever be.Sitting at your computer talking shit about somebody else behind their back … sad.
Behind their back? I didn’t say anything, but I’m pretty sure no one would have a problem telling him he’s trash to his face?
they made a great decision by signing johnny, because that enticed a very specific group of gamers. and for the record, i respect the hell out of the man, and the only thing i didn’t like about the sex pistols was the heroin. and p.i.l. had a lot of spot on shit to say., but who the hell gave this guy a microphone at a launch event. this is as predictable as the tides. they must have wanted it to happen.
mu, are you on Johnny’s payroll?
why the staunch defensive stance? relax young lad. relax.
Yeah they started punk, but wasnt he the one who took a dump on a chat show.
He picked the wrong place to act like a jerk. End of.
