People have no idea just how articulate and intelligent Sid really was. He painted a picture of himself to fit the scene and the band and started to believe his own hype and people whispering in his ear. God i wish he had conquered his Demons. Such a waste of a young life. RIP Sid
Sid was VERY serious in this. And intellectual, I must say. He meant business, was honest, much more content and straightforward than most of these prefab rockers. That's why he died so young - heroin was just a rigid tool to escape from alien reality he was forced to live in.
very sad....we would have liked to seen what Sid would have been like had he grown up......he never had a chance to be himself being so young......comes across quite intelligent...
I think he was very intelligent, he was incredibly young, we all make mistakes that young, not saying its right, but we do. He clearly felt very deep too about staying young and having a young mindset so he could be himself.
2:38-3:59 Wise observation about grown-ups, considering his youth, and mostly correct too. And it's a little strange that he actually did die when he was "around about 24, I expect, if not sooner."
oh ya..RIGHT! YO are just as crazy as he was! So your saying that he was "intelligent and sensitive" when he hung that poor cat? You are a f*&king idiot!
@WHITEOGREPPIN13 If you are saying that cos of the Swastica shirt Sid is wearing in the picture, then you'd might like to know that Sid wasn't a Nazi, his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen was jewish
@SopranoSilvio08 yeah i know i heard him talking about the philosophy of sartre once, he just didnt go on about his intelligence which is why people forget it people also tend to think people who die young must be fools as well which is wrong
can anyone translate what Sid's saying in some interview with John present, he says something like "why everythin u own go twing twing" and: "ask me no questions I tell u no lies" then something like "shut yer bloodclot...??" and John interupts "oh shut up Sidney"
It’s cool amongst the working class to play down intelligence. To be intellectual is seen as nerdy or geeky in a completely uncool manner and will generally attract bullying.
the reasons those grown-ups wear those thing is because they were the kids wearing them and they never stopped, people just grow with what they like but i get what he is saying
Sid was never inarticulate but very much misunderstood, I've got a huge sex pistol collection, met John,Glen, and seen the live 6 times on reunion tours.sid was very basic compared to glen on bass, but still was interesting and a decent singer.if you listen to belsen demo he plays very well.and and on some bootlegs he wasn't bad but usa tour he was very bad out of tune or not playing at all.dallas he did not play one note,

he died at 21
This is the most intelligent and well spoken I've ever heard Sid.
Sid sounded pretty intelligent and had something going on. Then Nancy took over, the heroin took over and he forgot himself

Poor sweet Sidney. Died way too young. I'm the same, hate the thought of getting old. I hate everything about getting older.
Ha it’s ok, we hate you too! 😂💀
me too
very sad....we would have liked to seen what Sid would have been like had he grown up......he never had a chance to be himself being so young......comes across quite intelligent...
+scott dove
I agree. Its so sad that his intelligence was overshadowed by his drug abuse :(
Young and dumb. He was intelligent but didn’t think before he acted therefore he was dumb. But being young we all tend to do that
I think he was very intelligent, he was incredibly young, we all make mistakes that young, not saying its right, but we do. He clearly felt very deep too about staying young and having a young mindset so he could be himself.
Haven't listened to this interview in years and what he says is so true, as I get older I feel this more and more. I don't want to grow up.
god I love him!
Oh fuck you ..Nancy was not a whore she was just trying to be loved.
we can only imagine how it'd be to have john and sid alive today no nancy no heroin just them as wise punk uncles
6:50
Interviewer: “what do you think about work in general?”
Sid: “shit” *starts playing bass*
The coolest realest punker...Sid was gangster man...Who else would have the balls to where a swashtika shirt...
where* wear
It’s eerie hearing him say he’d die before he was twenty four if not sooner.
this is amazing, thanks for posting!

Donald Gwartney he was twenty one
So misjudged and so many lies told about Sid. He was brilliant, but just did not have a chance thanks to his mother and Nancy. RIP Sweet Sid 🖤🖤🖤
This is great thankyou very much :)
I am in such agreement on every level, here! Yes. Intelligence and sensitivity are part of who he was.
oh ya..RIGHT! YO are just as crazy as he was! So your saying that he was "intelligent and sensitive" when he hung that poor cat? You are a f*&king idiot!
😭🤔-Vzpomínka ,do let 1989'-krásná to léta!!!!!
does it matter if he's a skinhead or a punk or whatever? he was a sid.
Awesome! thanks for posting!
rip sid
He was. Funny how he's perceived as the exact opposite.
he really sounds wise, seems like he had plenty going for him.shame.
@Ikki1604 No. He wore it because he was Sid fucking Vicious.
@freakyfishy1 but he aint a nazi it was just the punks trying to piss off the older genreation and it worked.
Ralph Domingo Exactly
@WHITEOGREPPIN13 If you are saying that cos of the Swastica shirt Sid is wearing in the picture, then you'd might like to know that Sid wasn't a Nazi, his girlfriend, Nancy Spungen was jewish
I Can Bring Sid Vicious Back to life Because I'm Vicious and Dangerous and Wicked and Punk Rock Star because I'm doing it for the women
at 3;50 sid says he'll be dead by age 24. wow
Rip mate
Very dedicated to practice while interviewing....people forget he didn't just pick up a musical instrument when Glen left
@SopranoSilvio08 yeah i know i heard him talking about the philosophy of sartre once, he just didnt go on about his intelligence which is why people forget it
people also tend to think people who die young must be fools as well which is wrong
they all had brains, besides they punk rock looks..
magic roundabout twangin on the bass!
LMAO your right that is magic roundabout
"My cat had a bowel movement."
On THE DOLE QUEUE.
defnitely. Until Nancy and heroid came into the picutre unfortunately
@freakyfishy1
Yep
@krankpuff
I think he meant a real skinhead, not a bonehead
can anyone translate what Sid's saying in some interview with John present, he says something like "why everythin u own go twing twing" and: "ask me no questions I tell u no lies" then something like "shut yer bloodclot...??" and John interupts "oh shut up Sidney"
I've never been able to work that out in almost 40 years.
baz southern It's sid trying to do a jamaican accent
Its jamacan slang. Used by black guys in the 70s.
Yeah Sid was just being silly and talking like he was Jamaican
I think its from some movie they watched theres something written about it in 12 days on the road
@Ikki1604 also, maybe he just liked the design
thats because the picture is about 3 inches tall
@SopranoSilvio08 He was alot more intelligent than he gave himself credit for
It’s cool amongst the working class to play down intelligence.
To be intellectual is seen as nerdy or geeky in a completely uncool manner and will generally attract bullying.
... "which is why I'll die when I'm around 24." Yikes. Not far off. :(
rippin the bass 🤘
No one did that handsign
Sid wore that to give people something to look at, he's just getting attention. Besides his girlfriend was Jewish. Just something to laugh about.
MrBloodlust3996 She was one ugly bitch too
Sorry meant to end by saying, he sounded better at winterland.
Unemployment line, that is.
the reasons those grown-ups wear those thing is because they were the kids wearing them and they never stopped, people just grow with what they like but i get what he is saying
@Kiki2KDawgTV as if the comment you just read wasn't doing that allready
@punkrockenpunk Well, he wasn't stupid, but not very clever either. Lydon was/is sharp, but arrogant. Very entertaining both though.

This can't be Sid talking?
why?
Well it is
no it's a fuckin Star of David what do you think it looks like?
Star of moloch … David never had a hexagram
@3wrath3child3 actually you can take it away from him becaus ehe only ever played on 1 song hahaha!
Whilst he's semi articulate....he's still talking a loada shit ! R.I.P. Sid !
He's makeing sense to a certain degree
