My Mother is the woman playing Sid's Mum in the audience in this video. She was made bed-bound 5 years ago and its been my pleasure to be her carer through that time. She passed away back on the 11th of this month (11/12/2022). I will miss her a lot.
My condolences! My father passed a few years ago and we feel his absence daily, so I thought I'd extend my sympathies to you and your family. It's cool that your mother got to take part in something so culturally significant! My mother would probably be a tad jealous, she is a sex pistols fan and laments the fact that she was born too late to ever be able to see them in concert (not that they would've ever come to our tiny country).
I'm sorry to hear that your mom passed. It's very cool that she took part in this. She must have been a cool mom. I love exposing my kids to punk, I find the humor in it makes us all laugh and takes some of the seriousness out of parenting. Sending healing thoughts to you and yours. I hope you all are well in spite of your loss.
Sorry the original song is French, "comme d'habitude" lyrics by Claude François and music by Jacques Revaux. The heirs are cashing in the copyrights by millions ! Sid Vicious did the best cover and video clip, "killing" the audience at the Olympia, Paris, at the end, so funny !
+redospure jim morrison could sing and write.so no,i wasnt talking abt jim. sex pistols purposley turnd off sids bass cause he couldnt play.all he was was a stage attraction.he like i said...was the best musician who couldnt play
+redospure Quite a few similarities there actually (see my comment above about how they are both often mistaken for the actors who expertly played them in 80's movies). Altho I have enjoyed both of their music and stage presence, I have to agree - Morrison might not have been the best singer of his era (still better than 99% of the horseshit being sold today tho) but in addition to his amazing stage presence he was definitely one hell of a poet/lyricist.
+A. Nonny Mouse It was Sid too. I've read a few accounts of people in and associated with the band reporting this. To be fair tho he learned to play specifically so he could be in the band and had only been playing somewhere around a month before they hit the road on his first tour with the band. Apparently he learned pretty quick to play well enough that a short time later, just before they broke up, he was actually playing on the road. Also, it's not like anyone in that band was a gifted musician - Punk Rock in general, especially the first wave in the '70's, was characterized by pretty shitty musicianship.
This is unironically the best version of this song. It really, truly is. Sid doesn't just sing it, he performs it. He inhabits it. He IS the song. He brings so much passion and honesty to it. This man really could have been something special had he not gone out the way he did.

Frank Sinatra commented on this performance, saying he truly loved it. Sid Vicious really embodied punk music. I’ve got a huge poster of him on my wall, he’s a legend.
Was also a sad out-of-place kid with a very sad childhood (read Jah Wobble's book), later a heroin addict who ended up stabbing his girlfriend to death. In other words, by the end of his life had become an asshole. May still fit the "legend" category, I suppose, if you stretch it.
LEONARD COHEN ABOUT SID VICIOUS: "I never liked this song [“My Way”] except when Sid Vicious did it. Sung straight, it somehow deprives the appetite of a certain taste we’d like to have on our lips. When Sid Vicious did it, he provided that other side to the song; the certainty, the self- congratulation, the daily heroism of Sinatra’s version is completely exploded by this desperate, mad, humorous voice. I can’t go round in a raincoat and fedora looking over my life saying I did it my way - well, for 10 minutes in some American bar over a gin and tonic you might be able to get away with it. But Sid Vicious’s rendition takes in everybody; everybody is messed up like that, everybody is the mad hero of his own drama. It explodes the whole culture this self-presentation can take place in, so it completes the song for me."
Leonard Cohen said of the song: "I never liked this song except when Sid Vicious did it. Sid Vicious’s rendition takes in everybody; everybody is messed up like that, everybody is the mad hero of his own drama."
The way he sings the intro in such a beautifully sarcastic way hits me quite emotionally considering little did he know he would meet the final curtain about a year after..
@PazuzuStalker I partied with Sid Viscious one night at an abandoned club on Hollywood Blvd called the Masque. Us punk rockers used to hang out there do drugs, drink, have sex, etc. I'm not sure how he found his way there but we partied all night! I had great connections back in the day when coke wasn't stepped all over and I drove to a liquor store and got us a case of beer. We snorted coke all night, drank, talked, laughed, etc. He was a degenerate junkie and broke as a joke so I comped him all night. We did an ounce, I should asked him to sing My Way while I was laying out those lines!!! He was a real character!

@@AzuraVasquez They were not world famous while he was alive though. Just a scene that they were a part of. They did not get anywhere near as much attention from the main stream until after Sid murdered his junky girlfriend and then got a hot shot from his awesome Mother. I mean, no matter how cool people think he was, for some really unknown reason, he was a loser, with a loser mentality, and a heroin addiction to help out with it. So...yeah. world famous, lol. You know, that history and ignorance of it and all that. Good luck kiddie
there are many things that piss me off in life. one of the biggest is when people say Sid Vicious had no talent. this is one of the most iconic live performances ever. sid looked and sounded amazing. he took the weight of a whole counter culture on his frail junkie shoulders and paid the the price. but make no mistake, he was great. long after you and i are dust people will still be watching this...rip SID
The other day, I realized how really crazy but brilliant of an idea covering this was - on the level of Wilson Pickett covering Hey Jude. It matched if not exceeded the original and all at the same time is a parody, update, and final testament to Sid.
Definitely my m8, but most of us control that crazy side, he didn't an died at 21 but will always be a fuckin ledgend of not giving a fuck!! He did it his way!!! 👍👌
Bullshit heroin doesn't give you confidence like that. Maybe not you because drugs effect different people in different ways, but opiates always made me feel like king of the world. Been clean since 2012 and never want to go back to using, but I can't lie when I say I miss the confidence I had when I used. Stimulants for me never had that affect. Always made me paranoid instead. But I have known people that did feel that way on them. But yeah opiates definitely have that affect on some people.
what makes me sad is that he never got any kind of happy ending. his girlfriend dies, he's accused of murder, he's sent to prison, has one suicide attempt, and then overdoses a few days later. poor sod.
He said that he was going to live his life the way he wanted to, but he didn't. He was just a poor heroin slave who was never happy at all. I feel kinda bad for him.
SID VICIOUS' VERSION WAS THE BEST VERSION OF ''MY WAY''!!! HIS RENDITION WAS SO ENTERTAINING, NOT BORING!!! HE MADE THE SONG TRULY HIS OWN!!! you bet!!!
he got onstage and did a shitty cover... the Pistols were GREAT at shitty covers... like their cover of the WHO's "Substitute". Sid didnt WRITE The Great Rock and Roll Swindle, Malcolm McLaren did.
This cover sums up Sid's short life really, it was messed up, it got butchered and ruined. But it still ended up being legendary just like him. Rest in piece Sid , you really did it your way
Actually, there was the top of the pops, the oldest ancestor of Mtv. But the videos they played weren't music videos, i would describe it more as a visualised version of the song. It was called "Promotion Clips" back then and the bands didn't get paid for the network to play their promotion clips. The only benefit of this was that hopefully someone would see your face on tv and go buy your record.
I grew up with him as my idol. He never ever fell in line. When they said jump he didn't ask them how high, he firmly planted himself. Ultimate resistance.
Sid Vicious Was My Mentor And Taught Me Everything About Punk Rock Music And Becoming A Bass Player And A Punk Rocker Sid Vicious Was The Best Mentor I've Ever Had Sid Vicious Was The World's Best Mentor I've Ever Had
"To think, I killed a cat, and may I say, not in a gay way" Maybe not ironic in his mind, but for me it is, and is thus my favourite lyric of all time.
Yeah it wasn't a joke. Heres a story from his flatmate. "One night I went round and saw Sid, and there was a cat that was in the flat. And for no reason he decided to put a noose around the cat and hang it up in front of me... ...it didn't last long as far as ticks on the clock but it seemed like an eternity. The cat was struggling and was trying to get away but obviously it couldn't. It was whining. It was absolutely fighting to get away and just before it passed away, it urinated and defacated right on his feet. Sid was holding it in front of me. I utterly regret not stopping him doing that. Why he did that, I don't know. I have no idea, it's the most disgusting thing that I have seen in my life. If I could have my life over again, I would've stopped him from doing it. It was horrible... ...we finally put the cat in a plastic bag and took it to the bin downstairs."
No es para tanto, Loco...era medio un gilun trucha de semi cuarta, que ni grabo el bajo, en el " Never Mind ..."....si bien el tipo, era de abajo, y estaba en la escena Punk..76/77....fue como una cosita echa del Malcom Mc Laren,....que agarro guita de la nada.
When I was 12 , living in Syd AUS , i had a pic /poster on my wall of Sid Vicious that said - I've only ever fallen in love twice in my life , once with a beer bottle and once with a mirror ..... Haha

Whatever game we're all playing in this world, you just won it with that comment. Laughed to tears, and I'm not even sure why. And, what a perfect song for mocking. It's the pompous egotistical anthem of every oligarch that punks hate. Thanks, Sid. You fixed the song.
way back in 1978 it was my favourite version and now looking back at it now the video is a classic still love it the music is brilliant with the orchestra included as well r.i.p. Sid and cheers to John Lyndon
@@kristianbejb ah okay. Doesn't surprise though. The director also directed a documentary on the famous shit throwing punk rocker GG Alin. The director for sure is inspired a lot by punk rock culture
This is about the best tune from Sidney.v. He spat he’s words out beautifully, this was amazing, I’ve been known to sing 🎤 it & it sends shivers down my spine, I love it !
My all time favourite punk song ever and for those that say he could'nt sing or play, thats kinda the point of British punk, fuck it, get up and do it if you have the bollocks, he did and thats why hes a fucking legend, Sid will never die!!!!!!!
Sinatra died almost 20 years after Sid. They were living at the same time but probably very different lifestyles. It’s wonderful how they still managed to communicate through music. Beautiful ♥️
He sings some songs in the rock in roll swindle soundtrack but same, it’s hard to accept someone like him is dead, he lived a hard life and he died so young
He certainly shines at times and I feel sad for him.Sid really had the odds stacked against him for most of his short life but managed to send a strong message to the conformist he despised.I guess that was you don't have to have talent and kiss butt to be an entertainer,you just have to perform.
He sings three songs in the Rock'n'roll Swindle movie. This song also was part of an album called Sid Sings. Although his album hit number 30 on the charts, it's considered to be rare today.
There's a good reason why you shivering. We easily could've had the greatest punk artist or at least performer but unfortunately sid just ended up being wasted potential.
The song "My Way" has a fascinating history, rooted in French pop and reimagined across musical genres. It was originally composed as "Comme d'habitude" in 1967 by Claude François and Jacques Revaux, with François contributing to the lyrics. The French version, performed by Claude François, is a melancholic reflection on a fading relationship. In 1969, Paul Anka discovered the song while on vacation in France and purchased the rights to create an entirely new English version. Anka wrote reflective, deeply personal lyrics inspired by Frank Sinatra’s persona, transforming the song into an anthem of self-determination and dignity. Sinatra’s rendition became iconic and solidified "My Way" as a global classic. However, the song took an entirely different turn in 1978 when Sid Vicious, bassist of the punk band Sex Pistols, recorded his version. Vicious's chaotic, sneering take flipped the song on its head, turning it into a punk rebellion anthem. His cover was deliberately raw and irreverent, embodying the ethos of the punk movement. Paul Anka, while acknowledging the universality of the song, found Vicious's version both amusing and crass. He reportedly saw it as a "crass" interpretation but admitted it was a testament to the song's adaptability. This contrast between Vicious’s anarchic rendition and Sinatra’s dignified version highlights the incredible versatility of "My Way"-a song originally born as a French ballad but which has become a canvas for wildly different artistic expressions.
Nobody has ever understood your scream your anger broken by a melancholy irony. Tomorrow is your birthday and I hope you have finally found the peace you were looking for. good punk SID.
Rip sid.you brought us so much laughter and happiness..The small stuff the media sweated you about was nothing compared to the good you achieved.Rest easy big guy.
Definitely my favourite version of this song. Of course the original is best but the boldness of this I just love it especially when the rock kicks in absolutely brilliant he certainly did it his way
By far the best version of this song. No one really does it their way. We all compromise to some degree. If you really do it your way, don’t pay taxes lol. So glad he is making fun of this “vanilla” song
My grandad was disgusted when we saw this on the telly. I remember it well. Never seen him so mad. And yet I was fascinated as a 7 year old boy from London. The Pistols were polarising alright. What a time. Shook the status quo to its very core. But as much as I was fascinated by The Sex Pistols, it was promptly forgotten in the early 80s for me when Madness, Depeche Mode, Flock of Seagulls, Duran Duran, Blondie we’re around. Loved Gary Oldman playing Sid in the “Sid & Nancy” film from the early 80s. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend you go seek it out.
@@kickinballistics never forgotten the PistOls. Best thing that ever happened to me. Got Steve Jones' towel fae when they played Loch Lomond 2008. Great day! 😀
I was a huge fan of the Sex Pistols in high school, I have seen the 1986 movie Sid & Nancy many times. Gary Oldman was awesome, he always is, he's a great actor, but nobody else could have been Sid in this movie.

@@BCS1105 I guess. I really like his singing. Don't know why. It's perfect for me.
I like he's singing to. He's in tune and he's got a good punk voice. Johnny Rottens level.
He's good at portraying power lyrics. He's a scummy man, but he knows the territory he walks in.
@@harrisonwestphall2381 but how is he scummy
What’s a good surprise ! The Sid Vicious’s interpretation of this title is every simply incredible !
there are many things that piss me off in life. one of the biggest is when people say Sid Vicious had no talent. this is one of the most iconic live performances ever. sid looked and sounded amazing. he took the weight of a whole counter culture on his frail junkie shoulders and paid the the price. but make no mistake, he was great. long after you and i are dust people will still be watching this...rip SID
Monkey Man I find this performance iconic and revolutionary
The other day, I realized how really crazy but brilliant of an idea covering this was - on the level of Wilson Pickett covering Hey Jude. It matched if not exceeded the original and all at the same time is a parody, update, and final testament to Sid.
He was a legend..sorry!
@@jeffreycox6647 I prefer his version to Sinatra's
It's not live
There's a bit of Sid Vicious in everyone of us.
Definitely my m8, but most of us control that crazy side, he didn't an died at 21 but will always be a fuckin ledgend of not giving a fuck!! He did it his way!!! 👍👌

He seems so confident all the time and I love it
That’s the power of heroin
@@xtragurl6369 nahhhhhhh, heroin doesn’t really make you confident lmfao. Stimulants like coke do that
Bullshit heroin doesn't give you confidence like that. Maybe not you because drugs effect different people in different ways, but opiates always made me feel like king of the world. Been clean since 2012 and never want to go back to using, but I can't lie when I say I miss the confidence I had when I used. Stimulants for me never had that affect. Always made me paranoid instead. But I have known people that did feel that way on them. But yeah opiates definitely have that affect on some people.

There has to be a word for being thankful for something existing, like it or not, this is just iconic
what makes me sad is that he never got any kind of happy ending. his girlfriend dies, he's accused of murder, he's sent to prison, has one suicide attempt, and then overdoses a few days later. poor sod.
your profile pic reminds me of pulp fiction
Joey Salads My profile pic is from the shining lol
not to mention it was technically 2 overdoses that night and he died of the overdose from his own mother
Gave up his ghost though happy ending imo
He said that he was going to live his life the way he wanted to, but he didn't. He was just a poor heroin slave who was never happy at all. I feel kinda bad for him.
SID VICIOUS' VERSION WAS THE BEST VERSION OF ''MY WAY''!!!
HIS RENDITION WAS SO ENTERTAINING, NOT BORING!!!
HE MADE THE SONG TRULY HIS OWN!!!

This cover sums up Sid's short life really, it was messed up, it got butchered and ruined. But it still ended up being legendary just like him.

Great song. Great Perf. And Gary Oldman's impersonation of Sid is a keeper!!
Totally...Sid and Nancy is a great rock and roll movie!!! 🤟🤟🤟.....
I have that movie on DVD, it's been a fav of mine for 16yr & Ive only ever watched it twice 😅👌
Still one of the greatest music videos ever. They didn’t make music videos in the late 70s. Just genius.
This is a part of the movie the Great Rock and Roll Swindle. Not just a music video. And don t get me wrong, I love this song
Actually, there was the top of the pops, the oldest ancestor of Mtv. But the videos they played weren't music videos, i would describe it more as a visualised version of the song. It was called "Promotion Clips" back then and the bands didn't get paid for the network to play their promotion clips. The only benefit of this was that hopefully someone would see your face on tv and go buy your record.
Madonna said of the song:
"Sid Vicious’s rendition of this track is truly captivating, a legendary performance in it's own right."
Who cares what that phony says?
I grew up with him as my idol. He never ever fell in line. When they said jump he didn't ask them how high, he firmly planted himself. Ultimate resistance.
He does jump now lol wanna watch
They also said heroin was going to kill him, guess should’ve been more receptive instead of being completely ignorant
He was in my opinion THE epitome of punk rock. He did it his way.
I often think about how he was still just a kid up there on that stage but yet larger than life and iconic.
Leonard Cohen preferred Sid Vicious' version of My Way every other version
so did Paul Anka who wrote it. probably was the royalties though.

"To think, I killed a cat, and may I say, not in a gay way"
Maybe not ironic in his mind, but for me it is, and is thus my favourite lyric of all time.
hectorstable I never thought the word "gay" was used back then I thought they used ..let's say more derogatory terms...
itsagreatfuckinglyrics,
hectorstable not in the guy way
Yeah it wasn't a joke. Heres a story from his flatmate. "One night I went round and saw Sid, and there was a cat that was in the flat. And for no reason he decided to put a noose around the cat and hang it up in front of me...
...it didn't last long as far as ticks on the clock but it seemed like an eternity. The cat was struggling and was trying to get away but obviously it couldn't. It was whining. It was absolutely fighting to get away and just before it passed away, it urinated and defacated right on his feet. Sid was holding it in front of me. I utterly regret not stopping him doing that. Why he did that, I don't know. I have no idea, it's the most disgusting thing that I have seen in my life. If I could have my life over again, I would've stopped him from doing it. It was horrible...
...we finally put the cat in a plastic bag and took it to the bin downstairs."
That's because you're a moron
This really is to this day and further possibly one of the absolute best "music videos" I've ever seen.
Nobody was more successful at being so outlandishly impudent. I always get a chuckle out of this.
This video must be preserved for lifetime!

Whatever game we're all playing in this world, you just won it with that comment. Laughed to tears, and I'm not even sure why.
And, what a perfect song for mocking. It's the pompous egotistical anthem of every oligarch that punks hate. Thanks, Sid. You fixed the song.
If you consider a boring old self congratulator, better than Sid, you failed as a person.
way back in 1978 it was my favourite version and now looking back at it now the video is a classic still love it the music is brilliant with the orchestra included as well r.i.p. Sid and cheers to John Lyndon

This is originally a Sinatra song
Sid is a legend, he sang and LIVED this song truthfully. I LOVE HIM
Music is an expression of yourself.. RIP Sid
Yepppppp!!!!👍
I just looked around
Sinatra died almost 20 years after Sid. They were living at the same time but probably very different lifestyles. It’s wonderful how they still managed to communicate through music. Beautiful ♥️
His voice is still mesmerizing even these days.
I’ve never listened to Sid but this gives me chills for some reason
He sings some songs in the rock in roll swindle soundtrack but same, it’s hard to accept someone like him is dead, he lived a hard life and he died so young
He certainly shines at times and I feel sad for him.Sid really had the odds stacked against him for most of his short life but managed to send a strong message to the conformist he despised.I guess that was you don't have to have talent and kiss butt to be an entertainer,you just have to perform.
He sings three songs in the Rock'n'roll Swindle movie. This song also was part of an album called Sid Sings. Although his album hit number 30 on the charts, it's considered to be rare today.
yeah its that bad it gives me chills too
There's a good reason why you shivering. We easily could've had the greatest punk artist or at least performer but unfortunately sid just ended up being wasted potential.

41 anniversary of Sid's death
Rest in Anarchy!
why rest
The song "My Way" has a fascinating history, rooted in French pop and reimagined across musical genres. It was originally composed as "Comme d'habitude" in 1967 by Claude François and Jacques Revaux, with François contributing to the lyrics. The French version, performed by Claude François, is a melancholic reflection on a fading relationship.
In 1969, Paul Anka discovered the song while on vacation in France and purchased the rights to create an entirely new English version. Anka wrote reflective, deeply personal lyrics inspired by Frank Sinatra’s persona, transforming the song into an anthem of self-determination and dignity. Sinatra’s rendition became iconic and solidified "My Way" as a global classic.
However, the song took an entirely different turn in 1978 when Sid Vicious, bassist of the punk band Sex Pistols, recorded his version. Vicious's chaotic, sneering take flipped the song on its head, turning it into a punk rebellion anthem. His cover was deliberately raw and irreverent, embodying the ethos of the punk movement.
Paul Anka, while acknowledging the universality of the song, found Vicious's version both amusing and crass. He reportedly saw it as a "crass" interpretation but admitted it was a testament to the song's adaptability. This contrast between Vicious’s anarchic rendition and Sinatra’s dignified version highlights the incredible versatility of "My Way"-a song originally born as a French ballad but which has become a canvas for wildly different artistic expressions.
THE most Punk song ever. It's such bollocks in every way it's awesome, the video says it all. Masterpiece of anti celebrity/entertainment.
Ben Jerry "it's such bollocks in every way it's awesome" I'm guessing you're not British cos that doesn't quite make any sense :)
Pathetic crap.

Imagine how he'd have reacted if someone told him he'd be a legend that people would listen to for decades to come. 🙂

Definitely my favourite version of this song. Of course the original is best but the boldness of this I just love it especially when the rock kicks in absolutely brilliant he certainly did it his way
The original is "comme d'habitude" de Claude François
I can’t pinpoint why, but this is genuinely inspiring to watch.

By far the best version of this song. No one really does it their way. We all compromise to some degree. If you really do it your way, don’t pay taxes lol. So glad he is making fun of this “vanilla” song
My grandad was disgusted when we saw this on the telly. I remember it well. Never seen him so mad. And yet I was fascinated as a 7 year old boy from London. The Pistols were polarising alright. What a time. Shook the status quo to its very core. But as much as I was fascinated by The Sex Pistols, it was promptly forgotten in the early 80s for me when Madness, Depeche Mode, Flock of Seagulls, Duran Duran, Blondie we’re around.
Loved Gary Oldman playing Sid in the “Sid & Nancy” film from the early 80s. If you haven’t seen it, I recommend you go seek it out.

I was a huge fan of the Sex Pistols in high school, I have seen the 1986 movie Sid & Nancy many times. Gary Oldman was awesome, he always is, he's a great actor, but nobody else could have been Sid in this movie.
Best punk song of all time? This version. Brilliant. R.I.P. Sid.
