I agree with a lot of what John Lydon says - you get into Class A drugs, you get addicted, and it won't end well. Even if you do manage to get off them, you've damaged your body and your life, and you'll never be able to get it all back no matter how long you live. I always felt for Sid, because with a mother like that he never stood a chance.
@@AlexHarbuz Vicious was often cited as 'a well haircutted hamster" by Lydon and others. The Kowalski interview is the one where he and Nancy are being interviewed in bed and Vicious keeps nodding out. Very famous footage easy to find online. Does that explain things?
That's not true! I can attest that if you really want to get on the right track you can. I'm not saying it's easy and honestly it feels true but it can be done. I was a heroin addict and I luckily managed to get my life back! Sadly there aren't that many success stories. But it's not as hopeless as it's made out to be!
@@EddieC3336 I KNEW HIM FROM ALL THE INTERVIEWS VIDEOS ETC I AM INTO PUNK ABOUT 48 YEAR'S MY MATE SID WOULD KNOW HIM A LOT BETTER THAN SOME PEOPLE ARE YOU STILL INTO PUNK
@iandarragh6437 I saw John Simon Ritchie at Max's ,he honestly stunk, all junked out, slurring the words, nodding off on stage, dreadful, few weeks before the murder, I was working at the Rat, Kenmore Sq, Boston 76-78 what great bands I have seen.
Love John always have always will and love Sid always .i am a recovering addict its hard but possible to get clean bless all those still in active addiction🙏 🙏
I feel so sorry for Sid just because he lived exactly like he was taught by his drug addicted mother and ‘Bamn!’ Here comes drug addicted Nancy Spurgeon, his replacement for mom because it was familiar behavior 💔
At face value, I despise Nancy. She was the epitome of a catalyst for sid However as I watch these interviews I can't help but notice that the "love" from Nancy, was the only love sid had So it's just a heartbreaking story honestly. We all know the true culprit Sids mom. She dealt a shitty hand to a son she never taught to play.
I man I knew called Peter, who was at Westminster Kingsway College - as it was then - and knew John Beverly, long before he was Sid. For some reason Peter never discovered, John confided in Peter that he was gay. It seems that quite a few people in the area where John lived knew about his inclination but didn't broadcast it (no proof is my guess). Despite telling Peter, and probably others too for all I know, John was terrified of people knowing about his liking for other lads. I can only assume it was because being gay was illegal at the time. Peter also said John was a tall boy for his age, about 6', skinny and malnourished.
My boyfriend died his mother was a heroin addict his father was a heroin addict I understand I don’t think he would’ve died if he had different parents.
John Lydon never says anything good about his so called friend. He's too jealous that punk took on Sid's leather and stud fashion rather than his baggy suited clown look

Lydon's insecurity destroyed the best band of the 1970s. He can blame the heroin but he knows it was his fault. He did nothing. Absolutely nothing. Spiteful man.
Even if he did try to do anything I very much think sid would have been too far gone to even sadly accept any help. You can't force someone that doesn't want any help to get any help at all. It's sad but with the stuff I've seen over the years I can say one thing. They definitely won't get help if they don't want to. It often really takes the last straw for someone to see that they need help. So really I don't blame anyone but his mother here who enabled him with his addictions. I blame his mother and partially sid is to blame.
When it comes to heroin, if you don't want to get out of that hell on your own, nobody can help you, nobody can blame Johnny Lydon or anyone else for not helping Sid, because Sid didn't even want any help. They were friends, but heroin became a better "friend" than Johnny, if anyone should be blamed it is definitely Sid's deranged mother.

John is very good at humanizing his old friend John aka Sid. Sid was a human being not a cartoon character. His short life was tragic.
So was Nancy's
HE WASN'T A BAD GUY SOME PEOPLE WOULD NEED TO SHUT THEIR MOUTHS SHIT TALKING EMPTY HEADS KEEP YOUR OPINIONS TO YOURSELF LET HIM REST IN PEACE
@@iandarragh6437 so, you knew him well

Drugs eventually dragged this nice chap into Hell. A sad, heartbreaking life!
Those songs still sound absolutely incredible
Be interesting to see how he would have turned out in old age.....
He wouldn’t have made it to thirty in any case
I bet he would be fat & bald by now mate.👍🛸🧷🎸🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻😎👍

With a mother like that who needs enemies
How right you are.

Famous words , ''What was the next question?''

So it's just a heartbreaking story honestly.
We all know the true culprit
Sids mom.
She dealt a shitty hand to a son she never taught to play.
Johnny Rotten's head seems to have swelled up like a balloon in that last clip.
Welcome back TCB we love your videos .
You can tell he really loved her
I loved this video
RIP SID
YOU TOO HONEY👍🛸🧷🎸🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻😎👍
Yeah where was his mates then when he needed them typical 😢❤❤love you Sid
I bet you would have saved his life if you'd have been there Honey. He would have loved you, too!👍🛸🧷🎸🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻😎👍
Poor Sid. Boy, he HAD the look!! If only he'd found a nice non whiney junkie girl, he might have made it.
He would have been a boring leftie then mate.👍🛸🧷🎸🍺🍺🍺🍻🍻🍻😎👍

He wasn't gay, he shagged half the sluts in his home town. Long live the king, long live Sid.

Read in a book thats why he slashed himself maybe
@@jonnyfrench19 Drugs as well was seen as a lot bad even soft ones
Where have you been? You have been missed
I've been over here Honey👍
Only thing i can say is i understand. To me its not the person its the drug.
No one says anything about Andy kaughmen in this thing
John lydon sounded like Billy Idol back then when he spoke.

Lydon?

That`s because a leather jacket and jeans was cheaper and lasted longer and didn`t fall to bits at gigs or if we got into fights!

Sid had no hope of a normal life with a mother who used to supply him with drugs as a kid basically.
Lydon was worth listening to in 77,after that not so much.
