Have you been ad by old rockers?

[Holymagica]

ONCE they were the wild men of rock — hotel-trashing frontmen for the age of rebellion and anarchy.
Now they are fronts for cosy advertising campaigns.
They’ve gone from Hard Rock to hard sell and have swapped “F*** off” for “BOGOF” — Buy One Get One Free.
Iggy Pop and Alice Cooper are plugging insurance, Johnny Rotten has promoted butter and Lemmy from Motorhead is selling crisps.
Whatever next? Axl Rose as the face of Werther’s Originals?
Led Zeppelin promoting Stannah Stairlifts (to Heaven)?
Nowadays the once bad-ass rockers are happy to take the corporate buck.
MARTIN PHILLIPS looks at the worst offenders and gives them a sell-out rating. . .

Alice Cooper
Restaurateur, golfing celebrity, actor, radio DJ and advertiser for insurance company Norwich Union’s £10million change of name to Aviva.
SELL-OUT RATING: Three out of five

Lemmy

Advertised Kit Kat and Walkers Crisps.
SELL-OUT RATING: Three out of five

Johnny Rotten

I think Osbourne deserves a far higher rating than 2 out of 5, maybe a 4 out of 5 would be better??

I think the previous ad for "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" with his look-a-like pushes the rating higher.
