Fun fact, Sid couldn't play sh*t, but the time in between he joined Sex Pistols and he met Nancy, he was very dedicated to learning to play. One time he spent the whole night with the Ramones debut album and his bass, and the nex day he could play all the songs and has gained speed and all. That's how fast he could learn, and that's why you can hear several Ramones songs on this video.

Go back through these comments after having a notification pop up. It is sad how many people still love this man, when I was a teen, I admit I loved him, too. But as I grew older, learned more about this man, it is a tragedy. Nothing to be celebrated here, sure early in the scene, he was a face, a stand out character. But by the time he joined the Pistols, it didn't take long for him to spiral out of control. Punk rock was never about self destruction, it was supposed to be about building yourself up. Sid is not a story to celebrate, it is a story of how drugs, and no self control can tear you apart.

It wasn't his playing that was a match, it was his stage presence. If it's not about perfection then the bad cover compilations that can be found here can be called punk covers? Wonder why he wasn't recorded on most the albums? He was recruited for his image and antics on stage, not his ability to play. Punk is about doing greater with you got and loving it. Not "fuck it who cares. It's punk" That's why whenever people saw the Ramons or early sex pistols they tried to start bands, not because of fuck it but "if these guys are doing, then why can't I?" Being bad at something and not caring is not punk.

I don’t think it would of made any difference to be honest . The pistols had Glen who could play and Write songs . Sid was brought in for the Image and To sell the Band And Product .

lemmy was hired to teach Sid, he said after a few days he could play the whole set and even threw in a few runs here and there. Says he caught up with him a few weeks later and he was back on the horse and couldn't play a note HAHA! lemmy loved Sid and was sad about him when he died whilst all the other "legitimate" rockers that never met him LOVED it.

They were a pop band, manufactured by Malcolm McLaren to take advantage of a burgeoning taste for 'punk' rock imported from the US.
@Vichedges3 жыл бұрын
@@Heneggsboss they were a band before Maclaren ever got involved. Steve Jones asked Malcolm to manage them. Malcolm convinced them to take John as their lead singer and he gave them clothes and suggested song ideas (which they mocked, he wanted a song about bondage and submitting and they came up with Submission). Why dummies like you still parrot the nonsense about Malcolm creating them is beyond me. Brian Epstein told the Beatles how to look and act. The Who’s manager suggested things for Townshend to write about and was responsible for their look. The Stones’ manager did the same thing. It’s what managers do or did back then. But Malcolm had nothing to do with the actual music....he didn’t create Steve or John or their attitudes.

The Pistols were not a crew of high school buddies that decided to form a band. They were the creation of Malcolm McClaren, who liked their fashion sense (Johnny and Sid) and loved the raw energy of Paul and Jonesy's musicianship. Sid was a hit with the girls and that was all that mattered to Malcolm, because it brought more bodies to the shows.

Nothing wrong with his playing, from what I could hear. No timing issues. All of his notes were consistent. Job done. Jaco Pastorius he is not, but the Sex Pistols were no Weather Report, either, so what’s the problem? Sid has been dead for nearly 40 years now so his playing isn’t gonna make much improvement. It was what it was. Stop picking on the bloke.
