Is this the story of Johnny Rotten? Lydon forgets lyrics, loses his temper at Pistols reunion gig


http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/showbiz/showbiznews.html?in_article_id=489875&in_page_id=1773

Johnny Rotten seems to have lost none of his bad boy rancour during the last 30 years.

The Sex Pistols frontman snarled and shrieked his way through the band's comeback performance in an LA club ahead of their reunion tour.

In the group's first public performance in four years, John Lydon, 51, was a little rusty, forgetting the words to the first song, Holidays In The Sun.

Lydon lost his temper when he was hit in the face with a drink, threatening to kill the "coward" who threw it if he caught him.

1. he always forgets lyrics
it's what he does.
personally, i prefer his PIL stuff to the pistols and wish they'd put out a new album.

3. If the last five PiL albums were genius like the first three
instead of the utterly worthless shit that they are, I'd totally be right there with you. Frankly, all things Lydon should be left in the past. Though he's claimed to hate boredom above all things, he couldn't have picked a more boring reason to continue his long-since-vacuous career than money-grubbing.

2. Sounds like typical Rotten to me.
He's always done that, hasn't he? :shrug:

4. "Rock on Geezer"
Rotten's comment on 30+ 60's rockers in the late 70's.
