@JackM2409 yeah lydon steve jones and mick jones of the clash. yet both jones would kiss zeps ass back stage at knebworth. the punks were all phonys in the end. i love the music but they were ALL full of shit.
@zigzagbigbag Led Zepplin's Rock n Roll was used in a cadilac advert, okay they might have not made an apperence in it but their song was played, john lydon slags off fuckin everything mahn, seriously if i went up to him and said, john lydon your amazin a pure legend, he would punch me in the face and tell me to fuck off. but i wouldn't care cause he really does hate everything and he is a legend, he speaks the truth. alot of musicians don't
@JackM2409 Its all bravado though. Once in awhile you have to like something or the rest just seems like B.S. Dont get me wrong I love the music it just cant hold its own against the giant that is Led Zeppelin. And Rotten is mostly just jealous anyway. I dont have a problem with him peddeling butter and I dont have a problem with rock and roll being used to sell cars.
Rotten, the butter salesman. I don't mind him doing it, because i don't have his bizarre ideals, but he sold out his own beliefs, and every time he takes a shot at another artist this can be leveled at him. What a plonker.
Actually, this is a hilarious commercial. The guy wanted to make money, therefore he got a job in a butter commercial. His music had nothing to do with it.
He's satirizing petty nationalism, and he would not have done the ad if it didn't make fun of British culture. And what are you all talking about Green Day for? Green Day are fags.
i cant believe 2 people once shared a body. john lydon, an old sellout whos gone soft, and johnny rotten, an amazing punk singer who died in 1978. sad
To be fair, he's making fun of petty nationalism, thus kinda politicial-yes we get customers like that! Looking at the danish bacon "I want british bacon." **** off then :)
One by one, the people who claimed they would never sell out are ... well, selling out. Knowing John, he'll have some prepared "witty" or "funny" excuse or reason for doing this, but anyone with some common sense can tell what's going on here.
@beastyboy1990 you have to "buy in" before you sell out. and green day doing american idiot is the most obvious shit for the time it was released. sayign nothing new or interesting. woefully predictable. Real punks would wear shirts saying I LOVE BUSH!! GOD BLESS BUSH!!
@nazikiller09 Uh ... Ozzy Osbourne has been a sell-out pretty much ever since he left Black Sabbath. He's respected for his contribution to music (just like John is), but that doesn't change the fact that he's now just a parody of himself.
Don't believe me? Type in "Ozzy Osbourne Winter Wonderland" into YouTube. It will all be clear within the first 5 seconds.
i wouldnt call it selling out. its not like they were a band again and decided to make music they didnt like for the sake of getting popular. he just got a bunch of money for being associated with butter. do what you want without giving up your integrity.
@ska2808 Okay, i agree that part was really ridiculous. But it's not like he compromised what he believed in. Unless of course he really dislike butter and he's just doing it for the money. haha
@straightXjessedge In his book, and various interviews, he has expressed nothing but disdain for corporations and advertising. He also expressed disdain for people like Mick Jagger and Eric Clapton who "became the system" after fighting against it.
He's no better. This is selling out, pure and simple. Can you imagine 1970s or 80s Johnny doing this shit?
Plus he hasn't done anything remotely interesting (musically or otherwise) for nearly 20 years.
why is everyone getting so butthurt just because johnny did an ad for insurance. he's johnny rotten, the king of punk! he can do whatever the fuck he wants! you guys are getting anti-establishment confused with anti-conformity, which is the REAL meaning of punk. punk is about doing whatever you want and not giving a damn about what others have to say. if you ask me, doing an ad to prove how little people know is the most punk thing you can do.
selling out!!!!!those guys mock everything...the sex pistols comeback tour in the mid 90`s was called the filthy lucre tour....that was the whole point!get our money...the original scheme of m mclaren and the pistols back in the late70`s was to get signed on majors then get advance money and run away with it.then doing it all over again with another label this they get ritch.....anyway john is still the same old troublemaker and anarchist at heart.....
He's classic for that... I think it's great and we would ALL do the same thing so no more poser comments from the shitty gallery a few ppl under me.....
I love the sex pistols and still do but if young jonny rotten could see old jonny rotten doing an advert for butter he would be disgusted. hed proberly say something along the lines of go fuck yourself old jonny rotten.
John Lydon has turned into his own worst enemy ... Punk Truly died at Winterland in SF in 1978 when the Pistols self destructed. This butter commercial is a joke. The real Johnny Rotten back in 1997 would have never done such a stupid anti-punk thing like this. What next ? A Revlon hair dye piece .... " God Save Mr Rotten "
Rotten was always in it for the money, ALWAYS! He has admitted it many times. He never wanted to be a punk, or an icon. He just did it because it was that or carry on living in shit. He never stood for anything.
....and I thought he was going to lead an anarchist movement to shake the foundations of this country.....ooooh how my dreams are shattered waaah waaah boo hoo. You sold out to a butter advert waaah. You're a very naughty boy.
fukin hell people ur all avin a go at him callin him a sellout. he aint gunna b doin songs again so h mite as well do sumfin. and hes rely funni like in this advert
lol Johnny what a leg with his expressions and in so whatif he sold out maybe he likes the butter thats why he did the advert and in the sex pistols song some songs were anti Uk like anrchy in the uk and god save the queen and he basicly sez he doesent but the butter cause its british he buys it cause he thinks it tastes gr8 an its hopeless defending him lmao
