Punk Legend Dead

Yup it was 29 years ago (2/2/79) that old Sid Vicious was found dead in his apartment by his mom who had of course bought him the smack.

Here's the BBC story

goddamn thats a long time ago when you think about it.

JawnDiablo - 2-2-2008 at 11:23 PM

Sex Pistols tunes still make me rage .

XHonusWagnerX - 2-3-2008 at 12:09 AM

EMI is one of my favorite punk songs of all time.

I was in the belly.

Sid was, quote the movie, the gimmick.

Even though he was useless and didnt play on the record, do you think they would have gotten as 'popular and notorious' if he had never been in the band?

i've never really been a fan of the pistols, they have a few good songs but thats about it.

Yep, Johnny Rotten did a lot to get them out there in the public eye.

Sid sucks as does the continued hype of his self-induced death.

Their first controversy came with their appearance on the Bill Grundy show (I think that was his name) where they cursed and acted up, and that was before Sid had ever joined the band.

Im definitly not disputing that they would have been controversal. I just mean that Sid was was and still is such a symbol of the Sex Pistols... I wonder if they would still be so known if it wernt for him.

I was 2 haha.

I think they would have still made it big. I think they are both kind of separate icons. People not into punk know Sid Vicious and don't know he was in the sex pistols. And kudos to a band with what, ten songs lasting this long haha.

XHonusWagnerX - 2-4-2008 at 01:31 PM

They owe it all to Malcom McLaren!

PS. I was 5... damn I'm old!

CR83 - 2-4-2008 at 03:38 PM

I was 3.5

tireironsaint - 2-4-2008 at 04:44 PM

I got you beat, Honus. I was 6 and a half.

upyerbum - 2-4-2008 at 04:52 PM

I was 7.

morgan - 2-4-2008 at 07:04 PM

Damn yall are some old fuckers then huh? :bigsmile:

I'm just talking shit. But I guess I never realized Sid never actually played bass.
