I neither loved nor hated him. Just kind of felt sorry for him. He was just a confused kid that got in way over his head and paid the final price for it. I’ve known many others like him over the years.
Sid was funny in this. He did not take things seriously. And was not as stupid as people think. Drugs are terrible things When used to the extent Sid used them. Rip sid
@Dane Gonzalez So the Punk scene was all about sucking at learning an instrument???? The Clash Succeeded. Dead Kennedys Succeeded. Don't think they would have if they could only play the radio.
What a character. Sid most likely was the truest punk there ever was...he exuded the attitude, look and certainly the lifestyle that punk rock truly was.
he was merely a kid..go watch the free gig that they did for Xmas in 77 UK to just play out somewhere really and ended up doing this to support the miners strike where it was all mainly kids between 5 and 16! they even decided to keep the lyrics adapted for them!
Punk bands seemed amateur but there was a lot of talent among certain punks I don't know how much talent Sid had the fact he portrayed an image makes him more like a model
Be in Peace Sid Vicious, without passing cloth to you or to anyone, but your childhood was very bad with you, Sid Vicious, needed a lot of help and had little "It". But it became a legend.
He was only a kid being used by the celebrity handlers. MM & EMI turned him into some sort of antiestablishment antihero!! Remember, 90% of his career he was a teenager! A kid. God rest his soul. ✌️😇
Они им воспользовались, сделали наркоманом и убили подростка ради денег. И никто его жизнь и здоровье не защитил, им только и нужно было чтобы он себя убивал, покупали ему наркотики и давали деньги. Все ради развлечения публики и прибыли.
@Tie Shoe Sid was at Johnny`s house and he tried to play with the hamster and the hamster bit him on the hand so Sid (or Simon as he was actually named) screamed and shouted at Johnny..."That Sid is really f*cking vicious!!" and thus the legend was born.
1:26 Old French guy watched The Untouchables "What you bring to a fight ..you do it the Chicago way ... he pulls out a flick knife, you pull out a baguette.".
Even with a swastika on his t-shirt, he was walking in a safer country than it is now, and he was seen as the nemesis of Britain. Id rather be there than here
I never saw this video before or heard this song. Gotta say it's one of Sid's best. He sings better than he plays bass, that's for sure. Gotta love the Pistols.
Steve Jones and Paul cook were decent musicians and John Lydon went on to form the highly acclaimed Public Image Limited. People like to present Syd as inept and true Steve had to overdub a lot of his bass, but before Sex Pistols he was drummer in several bands , including Siouxsie and the Banshees

You and anyone with half a brain.

He was a complete moron
The Pistols were done the day Sid got into the group.
total goof
