Sid Vicious was a stupid fucking junkie who couldn't play bass for his life. He was an image, he defined the image of British Punk Rock. But he was a stupid kid who OD'd at 20 or so, and left a mark that shouldn't be there.
I think Glen Matlock is a beeter bassist by far. Sid couldn't play, all he did was look like he didn't give a fuck. And btw, I'm 19, I just happen to have a dad who was a punk when he was younger.
@CrappyLetsPlaysRUs Finally someone who gets it. I agree with you 100%. Sid was just another burnt out druggie rock n roller. If you ask me the Sex Pistols would have done amazing without a bass player.
@punkrocklives13 Matlock's a bloody good Bassist and a great tunesmith. They did'nt seem to write much after Glen was sacked. Worse thing they ever did was to get rid of Glen and going on the "Today" programme pretty much killed them musically.
Sid didn't make a musical impact at all????? please don't tell me that people here think Sid wrote music and played great bass??? how old is the guys who praise the crap out of Sid?? its all about images with you guys :)
Looks like someone's buying into the whole Sid-Vicious-as-legend bit, eh? The painful truth that his minions will never cop to publicly is that the kid really couldn't fucking play his instrument at all. Sure, he looked cool and all that --- causing a spike in leather jacket sales, I'm sure --- but, Matlock was the real force behind the music, regardless what anyone says.
@VictorRechnageL Are you being ridiculous ? Sid was a fucking legend. Glen was kicked out of the Sex Pistols cause he was too fucking busy admiring McCartney and The Beatles, he wasn't, isn't and never will be a Sex Pistol.
Messy sound technicians job: fucking messed with the bass at the beginning and John's singing out of key 'cause he can't ("fucking" they clipped out) hear himself. The don't start to sound right until about 1:45
ha ha ha an abomination .lydon should be shot for his haircut.an abomination if ever there were.is he trying to thumb his nose at a society that long gace up caring or just imitating the youth of the then today.get relevant john you dick.morrissey said hed forgive you anything..but that haircut is a monstrosity mate
@dizzyizzy24 As much as everyone liked Sid, he really did not contribute much to thier music. In fact he was usually either so drunk or drugged they had a pretty tough time just getting through a concert. He actually really wasn't a very good bassist at all. So, to make you nostalgic maybe they should have drugged the new bassist before he went on stage with them to give you that same bullshit "FEELING". Hell, he actually did it better than Sid which wasn't that hard at all.
@Xcorgi you are right, he wasn't the best, let alone good, bass player, and to my knowledge wrote almost nothing. But his attitude is the definition of punk rock. Though at most shows he was to drugged to even keep his eyes open, but when he was into it, he woud pull the crowd in. he's just a punk-rock-god, and in my mind, the sex pistols image (not necessarily the music) relied on sid.
This was the real punk, along with the Ramones, and the Dead Kennedys, not the panzy crap (i.e. Green Day) you hear today on the radio. These guys had heart and honesty, and it showed in their performances. R.I.P. John Lydon. We lost one of rock's most unique and eccentric characters.
I wonder why everyone makes such a big deal of Sid. I think he's cool. And there go some punks saying 'it's not about the music, it's about the lyrics' or 'no one cares about the music, it's the band that counts!'.
Rotten didn't sing, Sid couldn't play bass very well - so what? It's punk rock and they did things bigger than any of us may ever be able to do!
