Johnny Rotten Slams Guitar Hero 3 Among Other Things





Johnny Rotten, lead singer of the Sex Pistols, was asked to speak at the release part for Guitar Hero 3, sponsored by the Official Xbox 360 Magazine. Things start off well, but go astray after just a short time.

Johnny then starts to bash the game, telling people it shows how not to act, and to not pursue the life of a rock star, insisting it's all "rubbish".

He goes on to ramble about other things not related to the game, in one instance yelling at someone "I AM ENGLAND!".

The old punk-rocker in me is loving his display of angst against Guitar Hero and everything it stands for, though I love playing the game itself. This video reminds me of an interview Jack Black and Kyle Gass did for their movie Pick Of Destiny. In it, Jack was playing Guitar Hero 2 with the interviewer on G4, and Kyle kept bashing the game, telling viewers to not waste their time and learn a real instrument.

It's so true, but Guitar Hero is just so much easier.
