Sid Vicious - Sid! By Those Who Really Knew Him

New, intimate, 80 minute documentary on ultimate punk, Sid Vicious. Plus 10 track live audio CD, booklet and more!
The first, intimate full-length 80 minute documentary on Sid's life to mark 30 years since his death, when he was just 21 years old from a heroin overdose. Many of those closest to Sid speak for the very first time about the only true punk icon - who burnt out, but never sold out. This brand new documentary in association with ITN Archive, to be shown theatrically in London, to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Sid Vicious' death. Sid's short and controversial life with The Sex Pistols and Nancy Spungen is profiled with new interviews from Jah Wobble, Steve Severin, Vivien Westwood, Malcolm McClaren, Dave Vanian, Rat Scabies, Marco Pironi, Viv Albertine, and many others who actually knew Sid. This special collector's pack features the DVD documentary, plus a 10 track audio CD of Sid live in New York (with Arthur Kane and Jerry Nolan), and a booklet profile by best-selling music author Mark Paytress.

I was riding on a Greyhound bus into Portland sitting next to this 72 year old lady when I mentioned I was a musician."Who are your influences?" she asked. "Sex Pistols, Nirvana, Ramones...punk rock", I said. "You know, I met Sid Vicious", she said. "REALLY??" I asked, astounded. "Yes, in the hallway at the Chelsea Hotel in New York City. He walked past and said hello. Seemed like a very nice young man..."

A guy that lectured me during my films degree knew Julian Temple and The Sex Pistols and actually taped for alot of their shows. He has always said Sid was a nice guy but not very bright and easily led. When he was under the influence of Rotten he was fine, when McClaren and Spungen got to him he was fucked.

nancy fucking used sid for his fame, she was ugly wtf did he see in her!!??

[Rikitocker]

Sadly Syd was a gullible kid ... who ultimately wanted attention to compensate for his totally fucked home life. What most people want ... to be loved. And like most people, he took love from all the wrong places ... Nancy for one.

the gink at 46:25 needs to take a drink of water and wet his bloody gob, its rather annoying when the bloke speaks with a dry mouth, the sound is grating on my nerves

@Lasaration hey i actually like steely and bee gees, but why the judgement on the pistols and rotten or sid, not punk? i really hate to have to put labels on things but if we must the pistols were no doubt punk
