@GAREMPOTS Huh? The very same William Michael Albert Broad better known by his stage name Billy Idol? The 4 Johns were John Simon Ritchie (Sid Vicious), John Lydon (Johnny Rotten), John Joseph Wardle (Jah Wobble), and John Gray who had a squat together.
Whatever...he was in the Sex Pistols for whatever reason...guess he was the ultimate PUNK ICON without being able to play one single note...Not many of us can say that....Can you make millions out of nothing and enter the history books of POP Music?...so many painters got rich & famous but couldn't even spell their name on the canvasses as it should...So, who cares?
Infact I tracked down the track listing for the album: Track listing 1. Born to Lose 2. I Wanna Be Your Dog 3. Take a Chance on Me 4. Stepping Stone 5. My Way 6. Belsen 7. Something Else 8. Chatterbox 9. Search and Destroy 10. Chinese Rocks 11. I Killed the Cat
@Ironsixx Not Iggy, it is infact Sid, from the album *Sid Sings* a live album of him playing a random USA club doing a load of covers just before he died., I owned it and played it to death.
Johnny Rotten has said that it was a hamster that Sid Vicious was named after, not a rat. It's on a video somewhere, where Johnny gives a tour of the house he grew up in.
this is amazing, i heard it in sid and nancy where gary oldman was singing this as sid. i didn't love the stooges version and i didn't know there really was a version by sid so this is fucking great!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
The pair degenerated into two drug obsessed people, look who's talking Lee haha...Nancy Spungen was a cunt!. Whether Sid killed Nancy or not, though I think he did it, the bitch got what she deserved. I took great pleasure in looking at her crime scene photo. \M/
@NowBleed you can't really say anything about neither of them.. you don't PERSONALLY know them.. and you think the papers + media were 100% truthful? he LOVED her.. can't say anything more than that
i hung out with the pistols and the creator of this song, iggy. im writing a book about it all. no real music left, no real musicians other than iggy and a handful of others i know
SID WAS A REAL LEGEND PUNK DIED WITH HIM(ALMOST)AND HE IS OUR IDOL HE MUST BE PROUD OF HIMSELF UP THERE AND MUST LOVE HIM AND ADORE HIM FOREVER WHATEVER HAPPEEEEEEEEEEENSSSSS
I LOVE SID VICIOUS ! (l) R.I.P YOU GOD OF PUNK :) such a shame you died well either way your my hero and idole in life :D (never tell a teacher your hero and idole is sid vicious XD) LOVE YOU SID !
what a great song. when i hear this i wanna go out and kill some fuckin commie hippie with a rifle. my wish for christmas - total collapse of the economy and worldwide warfare all to the tune of this song. all dead in the future war will be a tribute to sid.
@phailez you little lefty. punk isn't only drugs/drinking/begging.this is done today.but in the golden past it was fighting.if you want i can give you a little info about the actions we did and how we simply organized that.republicans don't fight-
@exploited222 I'm not a lefty and I know punk isn't just drugs/drinking and begging. That is still retarded and my point is it makes you seem like some hick. And punk wasn't about destroying everything that was for shock value. No normal person should support a world war and kill in the name of someone.
well, 1, If he lived, he would be bigger than the Sex Pistols, 2, the reason he was mad was because the drugs did that to him, 3, Catch up on your Punk history matey!, ive seen your profile, it has nothing to do with punk,...and 4, if you think you can question Sid vicious, you better think again,...sid had a talent in his Own right through out the punk era,...he was the first to Cover My Way,......no musical talent huh?,.....I rest my case
@Anjohl no the fact that he never acted like one of those little rich snooty basterads when they get famous in fact he did not like when people talked to him like he wuz famous
@thepunk247 SID acted like all the phony stars today who are famous and become drug addicts in the process. most stars prior to their fame werent heavy druggies. by becoming stars they all went full scale druggie. SID became full scale druggie by becoming a star. acting like a star means being on drugs.
@Mianazd182 yeahs but his stage name was Sid,and people knew Sid more that Simon,and actually his name wast Simon it was john Simon Richie. Simon was his middle name.
@tibbytabs1 :O that's new for me :) thank u so much... so... I was searching about him.. and actually he took his name "sid vicious" because a Rotten's rat.... haha hey sorry about my english... I think its not very good... I'm from Ecuador :)
@Mianazd182 actually his name is John Beverly the name Sid Vicious was given to him by John lydon (Johnny Rotten) because his hampster sid bit him while John Beverly was trying to be nice to it so he said it was vicious and thats what johnny called him and the name stuck
@MBloodninja1 I'm risking sounding like a know-it-all, but john beverly wasn't his real name either, it was John Simon ritchie, but he sometimes called himself john beverly because beverly was his mom's maiden name.
@TomPirate1 yeah your right what i had meant to say is that is you look at any documentarys about the sex pistols or "sid" at the credits they call him John Beverly not John Simon Ritchie..and yeah his mom gave him his fathers name in hopes that they were going to get married and live together which never happened.
