Butter ads?
Bills have to be paid and you gotta do what yo gotta do
EDIT:
John Lydon Defends Butter Ad, Says It Paid for Public Image Limited Reunion
By Josiah Hughes
In late 2008, we joined the rest of the world in making fun of Sex Pistols front-man Johnny Lydon (aka Johnny Rotten) for the embarrassing, lowest-common-denominator butter ads that were circulating in the UK. Now, nearly a full year later, Lydon has finally made a statement about the commercials.
Speaking with the Camden New Journal, the singer explained that the funds from the commercial were necessary to fuel the aforementioned reunion of his post-punk group, Public Image Limited.
"The money I got from that advert is the advance on this [the PiL tour]. We live on a lucky end of a shoestring here until the first gig money comes in," Lydon explained, adding, "Why are they questioning me? What manual am I supposed to adopt? I'm promoting a British product, which I'm very proud of. Anything I can do to help British industry is fine by me and in return you've got PiL."
PiL's reunion shows, which are currently only booked in the UK, kick off in mid-December.

Ah here, what interviews are you basing that opinion on? Maybe his time on im a celebrity only?
You should have a gander at this,
The Filth & The Fury,
I know me & G had a bit of a ding dong a while back about malcolm mcClaren after he passed on regarding his role with the pistols, John Lydon certainly pulls no punches in this doc about his influence over the band & sid in particular.0 -

Underground deadmu5e (or what ever wanky way its written)
ah but theres a hugh difference between 'europe' and the likes of 'slayer' for instance who are about as underground on the metal scene as ya can get for a band that actually makes music vids (now and then). i believe the term for bands like 'europe' was 'hair metal' meaning it was all big hair and make-up and high heel shoes believe it or not, with the main market being the charts. bands like slayer, metallica (metallica only in the 80's, they sold out in '91 with the black album) were never gettin air time on the radio because their music was very aggressive and not commercially acceptable. 0 -

Ya bollix, i'm after spluttering coffee all over the table here :mad: ...... AND like the journos I think your trying to provoke a reaction , so I'll duly oblige
Bono is a wanker, a self serving one at that, I can't stand the little short ar$ed twat,i wish he'd go fook off to some far flung planet and try save the galaxy.....he grabbed Bob Geldof n Midge Ures coat tails and try to become the messiah of a generation...so much so Larry Mullen's threatened to slap the head off him coz even he was pi$$ed off with the little p.rick! he boils my pi$$, I cant stand the greedy money drenched p.rick 'appealing' to Joe Public to dig deep and save the world....dirty little tax dodging knob!.
*and breath*
John Lydon dares you to ask the questions you want to ask him BUT then shut the fook up and let him give his answer...his answer!
Bono isn't fit to kiss Lydons ar$e ......
ok, ok ......i'm off to eat my food. 0 -

Have to say, been disappointed with this site http://asylumdublin.com/#/latest-news/4552509328 seems they've lost interest in it since June 26th ..... I'd have thought the place would have been buzzing with tales of the reunion & allsorts of other stuff.
There's still no update on the next gig in Sept,the forum area is bleakly empty which is a shame,seems it's just not been promoted to it's potential....a good addition would be 'Asylum Radio' where peeps could look for slots to play a few tunes live n direct (or maybe even get some 'names' signed up to play the odd set)
There's the potential to do a live stream via 'ustream' or the like on the night of the next gig. 0 -
