John Lydon at Guitar Hero press conference.

[The Curmudgeon]

Good old barking mad John Lydon. Gets hired to talk about Guitar Hero in this four part(!) video - and talks about it for about thirty seconds.

He often comes across as a decent enough guy living up to his pantomime villain status, but still angry at the majority of the music business today. Yes, he comes across as a complete asshole, but really, there aren't enough entertaining assholes in the music business now.

The camera is a bit shaky and the sound is a bit shit, but it's good stuff nontheless.

Love that guy. I'll finish the videos later.

'Rise' is one of the all time great British pop singles.
Some-one voiced the opinion that Lydon based his whole persona on Olivier's performance as Richard III in the film version of the bard's drip -fest. I've seen a lot worse

Hmmmm. That's as good a theory as anything else I've heard. Has he ever commented on this?

Speaking of Olivier, I can't imagine him ever doing something like this..
