Sorry, I meant to put a   ;)  after my last comment. Of course it's an act, nobody could go through life that angry and exist...except me of course.   ;)

I want to know what was in the big bottle he kept swilling from.
 
 I'm guessing it was tea.

No, that's the actions of a wealthy kid slumming.  He just happened to write good songs.  As for Rotten, that guy's a clown and Sid Vicious was a fashion victim.

what i'm saying is that was my interaction with the man.  other people had different experiences, and i heard about a couple of hissy fit type events, but i didn't personally witness them.  
 
 i've noticed over the 9 or so years that i've been doing security that people behave differently when speaking to me.  artists that everyone else in the club has trouble with seem to be nice to me.  not always, but often.

do you think they could be persuaded to ellaborate? Or can you just add to the myth with some dodgy second hand accounts?

They had interviews with him in the PBS history of Rock music, and he seemed a very intelligent thoughtful guy.  I guessed it was attitude but I didn't get to meet him.  The crew were great and love the tour, so the band can't be that big of assholes.

Thunders was really an accountant from Weehawken.
