“Half the time I just feel I’m the most useless cunt in the whole group. That’s the worse thing. I’m certainly the worst musician…. But I’m … I do believe this…I’m the only one left with any real sense of what this band started out to be, originally.” -Sid Vicious NME 17 December 1977 Rest in peace Sid.., May 10, 1957-Febuary 02, 1979

[@grrr.9998]

Vivienne Westwood recommended Malcolm McLaren try out a young lad named John as singer for his new band. McLaren auditioned Lydon (Rotten) and the rest is history. When Westwood saw Lydon she told McLaren that he wasn't the John she meant, she meant John Ritchie (Vicious). Also Sid was invited to audition for The Damned but he didn't show and Dave Vanian got the job. Sid had a deep resentment towards Vanian there after. Probably why Sid threw the glass at The Damned at the 100 Club that missed, shattered and blinded a young girl in her eye.

[@MyRammy1]

Well......he right about the first bit anyway.

[@sirevan9147]

Everything that he said in this was true he wasn't talented but over time Sex Pistols lost some of their "punk"

[@bustertheboxer1343]

Bollocks, he was an absolute waste of space. Punk turned into a circus when he joined the pistols.. Only Lydon and Matlock remained relevant.

@miniraptorX Actually Sid is playing. I have this on record, Its very faint but you can hear it. For God Save The Queen and I wanna be me his bass was turned up all the way then Steve turned it down. Listen for it during Steves solo's on certain songs. During Bodies, Steve actually unplugs Sids amp and thats caught on film

[@zerocool1ist]

AHH that hits the spot. Sid was valuable as a hype man just like flavor flav was. I bet when the ramones were just starting out and joey was on drums they were like he is usless but today we all know he was the soul of that band just like sid was to his the face of the generation type thing. What happened to nancy though was just crazy even for sid RIP dude ur a fucking legend in my eyes.

[@syahirsahperi7077]

You're right

[@mussman717word]

@exploremagic23 Good decision, two very influential bands. For me, it was Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin, but I found my way around. When you think about it, all the great bands had such a unique sound, they were able to transcend genre. The Sex Pistols are certainly included on that list. We need another kick-ass movement.

[@sacrowley11]

this was the first punk song i learnedon my guitar i play it every live performance just becuause its to me one of the greatest punk anthems

[@soundvisionary13]

That US tour is one of the greatest in Rock because that kind of music was unknown and they played in the most improbable places,thanks to Malcolm choosing them. CBGB's in New York? Naw,lets do a cowboy bar in san Antonio that even hates English glam. Along with Miles in 1949 in N.Y.playing 'Birth of the Cool',Hank Williams last concert,The Dolls at Max's,Suicide in Belguim 77',Cluster playing 12 hours in Black Forest in 70',Little Richard in the South 1954,this was a career defining gig!

[@ernestodelaserna9494]

Malcolm was simply repeating the disastrous tour of the South that he sent the New York Dolls on in 1975. Look it up.

[@Napalm6b]

I don't know why people were so down on their musicianship. This isn't far off from Chicago blues song structure technically speaking, granted revved up a bit and with half the soloing. Solid riffs clean turn arounds though, a surprisingly solid band.

[@davidthompson136]

Superb performance ❤. No doubt John’s state presence owes much to Richard 111rd.

[@sicks6six]

that is very good, I was wondering if it is overdubbed, I kind of doubt it because Sid's backing vocals would have been turned down, or OFF, Jones guitaring is top class, better than just about anyone at times (if you like real rock guitar sounds) Gilmore-stuff him, Clapton-Steve is god, Cooks drumming is loose and not twisted up and it flows with no gaps and great cymbals, JR's vocals are clear and sharp, Sid is thumping out a bass line most of the time, should have turned his mic off and not told him, the pistols were either a shambles on stage or magnificent,

[@mussman717word]

@mccann444 You're sadly mistakened, lad. I agree with you about Sid being a second frontman, but he couldn't play bass worth a shit. Everyone agrees on that, I'm sure. Glenn Matlock, on the other hand, was a founding member, really contributed to the sound that shocked the world. He deserves to be a part of the re-union.

[@blade0954]

superb concert, id have shaved my grannys beard to be there,sex pistols arrival shook music to its foundations,this is my fave track from this gig along with belsen,what a shame about the break up,so much potential, my reckoning is they should have had a fifth member,to play bass,,,cme lead,then steve jones decided he wanted to be a member of "the def leppard club",not that they are bad
