Did he ask first? Not much of a talent there.

(Chris Welch, Melody Maker, 13 January 1979)

ANITA: Sid Vicious will be the next.
KEITH: Sid — yeah. He’s been a silly boy.
Just because he woke up with a knife in his hands,
he thinks he done it. I have a feeling he didn’t.
It was probably some very sharp New York dealer.

Ummm...no...he died because of his own sinning...read his bio or watch the movie! lol

But he was still cool for his time...sick cool...

I still stay at The Hotel Chelsea when I'm in NYC.

Sid Vicious was a bi-polar junkie idiot - no talent whatsoever, apart from that trademark sneer Billy Idol copied to better effect. His short "career" was spent imitating Dee Dee Ramone and Johnny Thunders. Sad pathetic git.

Murderer, junkie, idiot... No matter how much we spit & kick on him it is:
Rock history Before and After.

Musically not very talented no, but together with McLaren, Westwood and Rotten he created THE image of punk and punk music, and image that still lasts. It has become a classic image, much like Marylin Monroe, James Dean and Marlon Brando.

That alone earns him all respect.

What sins. Gimme a chance.....

Punk 'image' icon. Rubbish bass player.....

...not for mine he didn't.

Respect Sid because of his punk image?
Can't believe I'm reading this.

No, especially not at a respectable Stones site...

He only played on one track on the Never Mind The Bollocks album. I believe all other bass parts were played by Steve Jones.

I was sat in a mate's house once stirring my coffee, to be told that Sid had once used the same spoon to shoot up. it was the home of malcy talys former secretary at glitterbest.

there was some great memoribial just lying around in the spare room in a bin bag, including the original Sid action man.

Well, without the Sex Pistols there would have been no Some Girls and '78 tour. And without Some Girls chances were big the Stones would have vanished just like all '70's glam rock mastadonts.

And, the influence of the punk movement on politics in the late '70's and early '80's was huge in Europe, and even has its influence today -one of our MP's had to resign a couple of months ago due to his actions in the '80's. Sid Vicious truly was and is an icon.

Mathijs

No, I'm not convinced.
It seems anyone these days is an icon...its become almost meaningless.

What a bunch of crap!

B.S. subject title.........

Yeah punk rock's historical status in our society grows everyday.......what a joke!

Without the Sex Pistols Sid Vicious had been nothing...

On a brighter note, that other punk icon, Johnny Rotten/Lydon's recent ads for butter, has pushed Country Life's sales up by 85%.

Wonder if that 60's icon, Keith Richard(s) produced the same results following his ad for Louis Vuitton ?

This is tenuous at best, Mathijs. Sid Vicious had bugger all to do with the reason the Sex Pistols endure as a circus act to this day - the music. Most of Never Mind the Bollocks was written before he joined. And he contributed nothing more than a sneer, a haircut and a Nazi t shirt.

If you want call him a die young, stay pretty icon like James Dean and Marilyn Monroe, then fine. I suppose he is iconic. But both Dean and Monroe had genuine talent. They were also hugely influential (and beautiful - Vicious looked like a rodent). Who did Vicious influence, exactly?

This board can be funny. Any mention of another successful band and the hate just pours out!

The Punk movement turned the Stones back on. With out it you'd have had more Black and Blue, more prog, more dull seventies rock.

And good to see the return of the man, the mountain Baboon!!

Not doubting for a minute the galvanizing effect punk had on the Stones (plus a lot of the music from the era was just great). Were just having a friendly debate about Sid Vicious - aka "The Exploding Dimwit" (Nick Kent).

Vicious died for somebody's sins, but not mine!

I wouldn´t mind more Black and Blue, that´s a fine album. But it´s a strange world when you can reach stardom by playing crappy bass with a bleeding nose.

It's funny. I have a very clear memory of being in a college lecture hall the next day, and the professor making some sarcastic crack about how we must all be terribly upset because our "hero", Sid Vicious had died. This jerk really didn't know his students very well, because we didn't know what the hell he was talking about. We knew who Sid Vicious was, of course, but he was certainly nobody's idea of a "hero". Not at that school. The most popular band on campus was the Grateful Dead.
