Steve's guitar plug falls out and his guitar goes dead near the end of this song..
And folks what do we hear??
BASE!!
YEAH B A S E
And who is playing it??
Sid could play base folks very very well he always could his problem when it came to playing was him being strung out on heroin and being so stoned he then couldn't play but somewhere along the line people only started hearing he can't play. But I was around when this song was new and we knew at that time he can play
just read the book no one is innocent and it pretty much paints the picture that sid "couldnt play a note " but this video shows he was alrite for what i can hear and see. all the pistols stuff was simple like this so he must of been capable of playin gigs .
Are you dumb??? His amp off? He is playing during all this gig and many others. And i think he knew what he was playing... at the end of this song there are only Sid and Paul playing, and Sid follow the tune of "bodies" he did good
Yeah he played on three months on studio(january until march 1977) after he did all the gigs. He met Nancy during summer 1977 so he learnt to play without drugs a few times. He destroyed himself. I got few demos with him, he played not bad at all at the beginning, he was really keen to play.
ok cool, it's good to see some people with good tastes, our two languages are similar. I learnt italian, i understand it but i can't speak it. There are many italians where i'm living. Next to gli alpi!
ok sid is plugged in!! he was plugged in for the whole usa tour and he was alot in the uk just really low and no one ever played behind a curtain so where do all these bs rumors come from
some moron are asking if it's really Sid playing in this gig... did they forget their brains? but you, tatethompson you think like me, i thought i was the only one!
I missed the Pistols by one year, I was introduced to the Ramones in early 1979 at the at of 14 by a kid from New York who moved out to Orange County with his family. He was strange alright, but I liked him. One day he introduced me to the Ramones after getting high at his house. A few months later I got a hold of Never Mind the Bullocks, the rest is history as they say. Bodies is the true sound of Punk Rock. No other band ever comes close to this energy, they created the blueprint for punk !!
Okay, that's the definitive evidence on whether or not Sid could play bass. At 3 minutes you hear him play with no Jones guitar overtop -- Sid's a bit shitty, but he's definitely hitting the notes and playing the part in time. And earlier on he manages some more complicated bits than that. I don't get why they didn't use his bass on Never Mind the Bollocks, then.
you probably rite but alot of the time sid just played along to glen or steves recording and steve had a break so u could hear sid "playing", so that people didnt think it was royally shit
Sid played during Bodies, but that's it. On Never Mind the Bollocks Steve played bass. Sid was just in it because of the image, and he was supposed to learn how to play, but got caught up in the image and never learned. Lemmy from Motorhead even tried to teach him, but later claimed it was impossible. Sid's only true contribution is when he sings in a few songs.
Yeah, I saw the documentary too, where Lemmy claims Sid couldn't play *at all*. But this video clearly shows that is false. Sid could definitely play the bass. He wasn't Charles Mingus, but he could play well enough for 3-chord punk. I know he didn't play on the album, but I'm thinking, from this evidence, that he played more than he is given credit for at live shows. I believe John Lydon, who said that Sid could play fairly well when he wanted to (read: when he was sober).
..fuk this & fuk that! fukin all the fuk up fukin' brats! She dont want a baby that looks like that..I don't want a baby that looks like that!! BODIES!!! I'm not an animal!
There was only One Punk Band there Called The Sex Pistols,,, the pistols mastered punk just The same. There is only One Grunge band Master " Nirvana" Kurt and Jhonny Rotten Both are legends and created genres that cant be duplicated ,,,alot try to copy to no avail Legends ,,lol fuk Maintstream music and the dumbed down sheeple of the world
"SHE WAS A GIRL FROM BIRMINGHAMMAAH!!..SHE JUST HAD AN ABORTIONAAAHH...SHE WAS A CASE OF INSANITYAH,HERE NAME WAS PAULINE, SHE LIVED IN A TREE!!!""" Probably the most underated and one of the most important songs in music history!!!I'm not an Animal...FUCK THAT!
threattsignalrox, u may be the biggest dumbass in the world, let alone on youtube. johnny rotten isnt dead, sid vicous is. and he didnt commit suicide, he died of a drug overdose. so get your facts right or go die, u ignorant piece of shit.
dude there both good but u got all wrong the sx pisols were the one in it 4 the money they just wanted 2 make alot of money quikly and when they relize how hard its was jhony couldnt take it and kill himself
You really are stupid. Johnny isn't dead, he is still alive. Sid vicious died of a drugoverdose, and it's not even sure if it was suicide. But if it was he did it for completely different reasons then you said.
whats with velvet revolver and covering songs that they have no business covering like negative creep by nirvana. half of them were in a hair metal band p.s. nirvana = great punk band before 1991
The cool thing is when the guitar drops out, Sid is actually playing his bass. A year earlier he didn't know how, so they didn't bother turning his amp on. You can see this in the 77 clips from Sweden where he isn't even plugged in.
No he was a base player before he got in to the sex pistols.
Thats why he was there and how he got in..
He was Johnny's friend and he knew sid was a base player and when Glen left Johnny asked sid if he wanted to join..
He played base.. He became a front man after getting strung out on heroin and looked sloppy.. at that time that was appealing to the young audience. He would get strung on heroin start playing crappy so when he was stoned on tour they would pull his amp because he was stoned
Well ok maybe he didn't know the song and had to learn how to play it..
So he practiced and got really good at it.. no surprise there..
But do you see that bandage on his arm??
You know why that is.
Because he had overdosed on a plane just before this tour. he was in a hospital and the pumped other drugs in to him to sober him up and that patch is where they did that..
He was sober during this tour hence he could play very well not because he just learned it
