Sid Vicious Interview 

It is amazing to me, I never realized how soft Sid's voice was.

interesting to hear sids thoughts on south africa, he was smarter than hes given credit for

i love how once he asks the reporter 'what' he just keeps going with the weird noises

Wow. he really was an intelligent person and i love the way he looked at the world. he was just a little messed up, that's all. i really love him and i wish i could have met him. RIP SID VICIOUS

"Shut up, Sidney." at 1:46. Sid was so MESSED UP. johnny was funny.

Poor sid prophesizing his death , RIP you beautiful child

"I wanna just ruin everything" how could you not love the guy?

"We'll probably be dead in two years" - Sent shivers down my spine.

1:46 "Oh shut up sidney..." Hahahaha

What a lovely smile Sid has in the last picture! It's captivating. I've heard a few interviews of the Sex Pistols and I see a similar pattern between Johnny and Sid: it seems that Johnny has the role of the intelligent member of the band and has to "make sure" that Sid keeps his role as the unintelligent one. In 3:05 when they're talking about why they aren't playing in larger cities in the US Sid starts to give his opinion and Johnny clearly interrupts him. A little later Sid tries to speak again and Johnny doesn't let him. Sid was an intelligent but very troubled person; notice his sharp, but bitter witty remarks. RIP Sid.

Glad I finally thought to listen to it online. Read the interview over a decade ago...much better to hear! Sid was pretty funny.

sid is hilarious

sid vicious was a symbol of punk, without sid, there wouldnt be the sex pistols, and without the sex pistols there wouldnt be punk. sid is a legend because he was a mascott for one of the biggest and most important bands of the time.

Johnny rotten was right about the sid and nancy movie. It just made sid look stupid. Okay sid wasnt Albert Einstein but he wasn't as stupid as portrayed in that movie. He actually sounds really funny and sarcastic lol.

Hehe, he sounds very happy. Funny guy. :)

SID SID SID!!!! I LOVE YOU SIDDDD!!

R.I.P Sid

SID VICIOUS SOULD HIS SOUL FOR A LETHER JAKET

Cute when John calls Sid Sidney!

4:10 Love the pause then... "I just wanna ruin everything" hahaha

This is the second time I've heard Sid predict his death in a short time in an interview.

He sounds soo young .. bless him rip

Of all these shots the one that just kills me to the core is poor sid with his mum it's sooo poignant he looks a little boy lost , can you imagine the love that sid had throughout his life ? Not much I expect , poor poor sid !!

thanks for this mate, sid and john are classic commics

Missing Sid!

the other person is Johnny Rotten

My family grew up in London, specifically Hackney in the 70's and my mum about 13/14 at the time kept on seeing this ''weird'' kid with dark spikey hair every now and then (this was before he was a sex pistol around 75) and caught the name of his name by someone in the area, john beverley. Then just so happens a few of my mum and her mates decided to nick his football for a laugh, he threw a bit of paddy and just told her to fuck off! from then they sort of greeted each other.

sid visious is awesome

"Oh shut up Sidney"

It's with Bonnie Simmons at KSAN on the afternoon before the final gig at Winterland 14/1/78. They were promised leather jackets if they would do the interview.

Whoever made this did a great job. I dug it.

He looks cute in the last picture. He has a really nice smile. He looks cute when he smiles.

Steve commented that he did try to copy the moves on stage but he also said that he regretted doing so because he had his own thing going at the time and it was much better. I tend to agree with him.

omfg i love sid & rotten. they truly didn't give a fuck lol & i love it

on 4:40 he sounds like John (when he wispers: and they gonna kill those ppl...) .

Sid was sweet, but drugs fucked him up. Johnny nowadays seems so much more together. He's aged into a very clever, switched on man.

me too I see it!! Wanna hear something weird, after doing about a months worth of research on Sid I was in my bathroom after taking a shower and I look up on the wall and there is his name written on the wall. I swear on everything holy I did not put it there!

I Read That Book Too, It's Brilliant. I Love How There Is So Much Information In It Especially By Sid's Mother. She Should Know What She's Talking About. xx

You can say what you want about the sexpistols . But they where one of the great perfoming punk bands . they created the image and way of punk life that so many 16 year olds pick up on still today. I keep hearing why didnt they talk about pollotics and such . they where 17 18 years old when they wrote the album . what it realy comes down to is the sexpistols where and still are an entertaining band to listen to or watch videos .. sid and johnny did get their leather jackets after the interview

love sid

i bet they were all friends who definately loved each other.

it's the interview in s.f. end tour.. bonnie simmons something it's all in the book 12 days with the sex pistols....

Definitely. A lot of people think he was just a stupid kid but I think he was highly intelligent. He knew what he was doing and what he was talking about. I love Sid.

clever dysfunctional lot... Rip Sid... poor sod...

RIP Sid

oi grazie!!! ero riuscita a capire solo che era gennaio!!XD grande!

I love them

"ITS JANUARY" lol

Sid Vicious Was My Mentor And Taught Me Everything About Punk Rock Music And Becoming A Punk Rocker And Bass Player For The Girls Because Sid Vicious Was The World's Best Mentor I've Ever Had In All My Life I Would Like Sid Vicious To Take Me Out For Pizza Because That's What Mentors Do

man they are vicious. that's wat makes them popular

As far as I know, she's still alive. But I wasn't talking about the ring, I was talking about the chain...

thanks man ! :D

Yeah, he did. Watch the last concert - it's on here somewhere.

The look on his face when being taken in for questioning about his ladies death is very reconiseable to someone who has lost someone they truely love! You feel numb & your here but really not feels like walking in a dream not real but you know it is! Very sad end for these 2 as no-one knows what truely happened to either one of them! May they rest in peace! Obviously they both never had it in life! 😢😢😢😢😢😢

Yeah, this is during their American tour. Sid and Johnny were in a bus, and Steve and Paul were flying. Or something..

great rare interview. they were so out of it that interviews were a way for the band to focus on what to do next. Like the "shut up sidney!" lol and Sidney: " we will be dead in 2 years" how true was that prophesy!

Sid Vicious used to be a huge role model for the punks in the 70s and early 80s. And I guess he is kind of an idol today, but maybe his "biggest" time has passed? He's been buried for decades.

i remember reading sid was a a sweet fella before the drugs and drink got him

@cecopiteco they were promised a leather jacket if they acted polite with this bonnie dj.. they had the jacket after the show, it was at the end of the american tour

They were just kids then. People change. Well, not you really. But John did, they all did. They look back with reality, not "JUST HATE" or "JUST LOVE"... see. Do ya? I didn't think so.

ok little one, old mummmy says it's time for bed, night night.

fuckin SID RULES!!!!

Fuckin great! Sid at his best!

the irony wen sid says"we'll probably be dead in 2 years" im gesisnt his is liek 77? if it is thts a pretty freaky fign to say rip sid vicious

It's it just great, have you read any others by Alan Parker? He has done a few, some with other people though, Also, have you seen the film adaption of it? I really want to but have never got round to it :(

That's a great quote!

yeah good luck son,keep pogo'in.

love it...

That's Johnny Rotten, it was done in San Francisco on the last day of the tour, it says so in "12 Days on the Road" they were promised leather jackets if they did the interview.

sid was talented. you try play drums 4 1 band, saxophone for another and then join another mid tour and play bass and learn all the songs all within less than a year

oh and in regards to the description its either jonny rotten or steve jones. it sounds like a young rotten though.

haha that's Sid getting Jamaican on the interviewer at 1.44 aint it?

lmao! The lady is so frustrated xDDD I love Sid. Is is just me or does nancy look like a man? I LOVE YOU SID AND JOHNNY!!! D:

@brokkli1 He didnt wear it for racist reasons, he did it for shock value, and to invoke anger and hatred

sid

''when im at home i dont even know what day it is''. in loads of interviews and such he seems to be quite a nice funny bloke, even though he once told my mum to ''fuck off''

If you look close enough i think its a poster or something

whoa,it was creepy when sid said " we'll probably be dead in two years,me and him ".He was partly right,since he was dead the year after !.

i watch the documentary for sid's live and eventually an old school friend name peter kodic bought the drugs for him paid by his mom.He overdose on the nite before he died but he was recoverd by his fren then it came till the real truth.His mom gave him the remaining drugs that the fren left for sid for the nxt day and that is how he died.His mom kept this secret until before her dead in 1996...sadly....

he was making that (new songs) up on the spot. I believe it was in that Rotten book (haven't read it since 1994, or maybe it was "On the road with the sex pistols") that he was talking nonsense. They hadn't written any songs while on tour.

There were smudged fingerprints on the knife, but not wiped off. Sid and her passed out on heroin, in the morning Sid woke up and found her with one stab in the chest, she bled to death, but there had been two dealers in their room in between the heroin and morning.

Ya I know because look at 4;10 if you look between john and sid on the left bottom of the mike you will see the same face, a bit odd, but its there

there's a long pause and then at 1:27 the two johns say "what?" in unison. priceless ^_^ Sid is such a dolt. R.I.P. and of course John saying "aw shut up, sidney" is pure John Lydon "Rotten" lol Love Sid's elaborate story about how badass they are and then John finally is like "uhm that ain't the real reason why they kicked us out. We actually don't know why they kicked us out." lydon=coherent ritchie/"vicious"=incoherent and says "like" a lot rotfl

I think they probably cut it off his neck when he was processed into Riker's Island.

Sid and I lived together after Nancy died, and HE HAD NO RINGS. I was with him when he died, and there were NO RINGS, or any kind of jewelry. His heroin addicted mother also said there was a death note, like a year later, and that was also not true. His property was in my apartment, and the cops and I all saw it before anyone else (including the Junkie Anne) did. She had no idea how to tell the truth. She came to be with him to try to make money. He was about the truth.Hope she's rotting.

1:45 "ohh shut up sydney"

lmao me and my friend love that part

Me too xD " And he said :'your contract has been canceled' and we said :'HA HA HA HA' " amazing xD

man,i couldn´t have said it better,the only one who deserves to be worshipped is Rotten

Say Sid Would You Like To Come To My Birthday Party It's At The Hard Rock In Chicago Illinois What You Say Sid Because You're My Mentor

Well, Sid's mother had it after he died and then she let Gary Oldman wear it when he played Sid in Sid & Nancy. I think he gave it back to her, but I'm not sure...

"Oh shut up Sidney" hahaha

i heard the song he is talking about at the end and its sick

Simon ferocious he's the baddest dude ever

yea it definitly is

love it at 3:40

Btw, before he goes Jamaican, isn't he having another accent? Sounds German, doesn't it? From 1:31 - 1:35. x)

sid had a number of issues but was still awsome!

Does anybody know what happened to the lock/chain Sid used wear?
