and rule the world music scene. The success is usually
accompanied by rumours, increasingly of a negative character.
It's bad boys, women usually fancy.
Thus, similar attempts were applied by a lot of musicians
and bands, however only few were successful. It's either
absence of good ideas, or improper fulfilment of their
bad-boy duties, however we can see just a few of them.
To mention Eminem for example. The rap king was reported
to hit paparazzi, assault fans, threaten by-passers with
a gun, take drugs and beat his wife up. Another vivid
example is rock-idol Ozzy Osborne. He is too old now to
act as a bad boy, however, his fan-base still remember
him biting the head off a live bat, mistaking it for a
rubber toy at a concert of his own. The mistake cost him
multiple blames of the Greenpeace, which forced him to
check into a rehab for a treating course. Kid Rock, came
to fame through regular beating up his wife Pamela
Anderson, who finally filed for a divorce.
The title No 1 Enemy was collected by vocalist of the
British punk rock band Sex Pistols Johnny Rotten 30
years ago. Their behavior, as much as their music,
brought them to the national attention. On 1 December
1976 the band and members of the Bromley Contingent
created a storm of publicity by swearing during an
early evening live broadcast of Thames Television's
Today program. Appearing as last-minute replacements
for fellow EMI artists Queen, band and entourage took
full advantage of the Green Room facilities, and
consumed large amounts of alcohol. During the interview,
Rotten used the word "sh**", and host Bill Grundy, who was
drunk at the time, flirted openly with Siouxsie Sioux
("We'll meet afterwards, shall we?"). This prompted Jones
to call Grundy a "dirty old man". Grundy responded by
requesting that the band "say something outrageous",[18]
to which Jones replied: "you dirty f**er . . . what a
f**ing rotter". Their 1977 single, God Save the Queen,
released to coincide with the Queen's Silver Jubilee,
was widely regarded as an attack on the British monarchy
and British Nationalism. The cover of the God Save the
Queen single was designed the way the Queen worn an
earring in her nose and her mouth was shut with a ribbon,
wrapped around her face.
Johnny Rotten's behaviour was called the most popular event
of the 1990s and positively effected success of the Sex
Pistols in Europe and the USA. Mr. Rotten wasn't surprised
by the consequences.
