A harridan she was. What mother would do that?! I’m a mum and while I certainly ain’t mum of the year, I am disgusted that this woman did this to Sid. Everyone blames Nancy but it wasn’t Nancy. It was Sid’s mother.
This is really haunting to watch, because this shows a young guy, with his whole life ahead of him, just having fun and goofing off with his friends and all that…
He probably would've had explosive diarrhea all over you like he did to the girls on the American Tour. Or punched you out cold like he did that girl at the Chelsea Hotel, or made you permanently blind like that girl he hurt at the 100 Club. Sure, go hug and be sympathetic to a sociopath
I can well understand John Lydons affection for this young guy. He symbolises a shift really. Hard to explain, but he had something authentic about himself and his geographical location. Character, wit and hustspa. And a silly boy too, just a kid.
Totally agree, I didn't realise it at the time but looking back at certain material, such as this and various docs I've been watching recently. I do actually feel so sorry for him. So immature & childish in a way. A tragic life, which then reflected in his end.
If you watch a documentary on Sid and Nancy, She had nothing but nice things to say about him. She said that basically it wasn’t his fault for what happened you know she was on the down slope anyway and she doesn’t believe that that’s what happened. She said the last phone call she got from Nancy was a call that was very hunting and saying I love you mommy and please find me and said a rehab because we both want to get clean and we’ve hit rock bottom , and a few days later she was dead , and it was very sad.. She mentioned that Sid wrote her a few letters and was saying how much he loved Nancy , and wrote a few poems , and she just said that he was such a genuinely sweet person. I would love to read those letters! He just seemed so young and innocent, not ready for the world he was thrown into! Shame he had an awful mother and an awful girlfriend! Never stood a chance!
You can read those letters. I borrowed her autobiography from the library. The book is titled " And I don't want to live this life anymore" by Deborah Spungen. The letters are published in the book. I hope you can get hold of the book as you will be surprised at how articulate Sid comes across. I think the book was published in 1989 but I might be wrong about the date. Actually, I think I'll borrow it again next week.
@@jgreen8220 It was Nancy that ruined Sid's life. She introduced him to heroin. He was a naive London lad, easily led and got caught up with the image of Sid Vicious. Whereas the other Pistol members were wanting to improve their musical abilities. Which they did as all of them have successful music careers to this day. Nancy was a well known groupie and annoyed the shit out of the bands New York Dolls and Johnny Thunders. They went to tour the UK, hoping to get a reprieve from Nancy. But she found out and followed them to London. She tried her luck first with John Lydon(Rotten) and he told her to piss off and as a joke told Sid that he could have her and was surprised when they became an item. John said at the time it would end in disaster. She also fucked Steve Jones from the band and he wrote in his autobiography that he was a sex addict for many years. I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with sex or one night stands because there isn't, but just saying Nancy was not an innocent. In her autobiography, Nancy's mum tells of the very difficult life Nancy had from the time she came home from hospital as a baby to when she died. According to her mum she had severe mental illness and was never properly diagnosed.
when i was 15 i used to look at Sid as a tough, hell raising adult rock star........but now at 54 i can see he was really just a sweet smiley young young lad who enjoyed playing up to the cameras , who was sucked in and swallowed up by all of the nastiness of hangars on who only wanted what they could get from him ......and he was way too young and inexperienced in life to see this....poor Sid
Nope, he was a sociopath that beat Malcolm McLauren down in the studio that Malcolm was trying to help Sid and his solo career at, permanently blinded a girl at 100 Club, punched a innocent girl out cold in the hallway at the Chelsea Hotel plus strangled a cat. None of this is "Punk Rock" but actually shows how horrible a person Sid really was. Good riddance to a piece of sh*t
@@bderrick4944Not to mention he assaulted the journalist Nick Kent with a bike chain over a bad Sex Pistols review, shat in a groupies mouth on the 1978 US tour and worst of all, insulted Freddie Mercury. Lmao
@@bderrick4944 That's probably mild compared to what other rockers did past and present. I don't like or agree with injuring or killing innocent animals either. But as for the rest, there's many wilder men and women in this business.
Great time in youth culture as a whole. Just so much going on, so many genres of music and art all popular at the same time. It really was an artistic golden age.
for those who dont know, the man who ties his shoe is keith levene who was in Public Image with John Lydon after this. They were also a great band back then before he left
I honestly started crying and still am, when he asked Keith to tie his shoes it was so innocently asked and very politely too. he seemed like such a sweet young man I wish I couldve given him a hug and told him it was going to be okay☹
awwwww I love Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen the real and the ones who portrayed them . I think the actors did them justice because it seemed as the actors were taking their roles seriously. and that means somethin to me. it says a lot.
more please!!! i cant wait for his maxs footage to be released an i wish julian temple would release all his stuff like that interview of sid n hyde park we need more rip
@Stephen Lindsay sid did shows at max's kansas city with Arthur an jerry nolan from newyork dolls and mick jones from the clash an there's footage of sid singing as the front man they released like 12seconds of it on youtube it was supposed to be out by now but i guess its being used for a documentary called sid the final curtain i just hope we can see the full show soon
Boring-I saw so many guys like this when I was young in London and in NYC.....I am 67 and I was in lots of environments where punk music was being performed live and people were doing heroin. Don't glorify that which should not be glorified.
I don't think anyones glorifying anything. It's just some old footage of someone that was famous in the punk scene. If it's so boring why did you happen to click on it?
I don’t believe the drug heroin nor the lifestyle is being glorified here. He as a person is . It’s ok for people to admire talent . He added to and enhanced the pink era. He and the Sex Pistols were icons!!!! He clearly was a person who was genuinely liked by others. Would have probably gone places minus the dope. If you hung around those places as you claim perhaps you could be a little less judgemental and self righteous seeing as you saw and experienced it so often!!!!! JUST SAYN’’’’’
So immature. He reminds of a 13 year old boy with no guardrails and an inexhaustible supply of drugs and alcohol. Completely off the chain headed straight for disaster. Too bad there was no one who could get his attention and respect enough to help him find a way out.
Oh to young in the late seventies; high on speed and vodka; not giving a flying fuck what people or society think; and looking so fucking cool; part of an extreme minority while all of the rest of the sheep are walking around in flares and look so friggin' boring. Unless, you were around in those heady days; you'd never know...
Sam Rockwell would have made an amazing Sid if a biopic had been filmed 30 years ago. Not that Oldman did a bad job but a biopic purely about Simon/Sid would have been dynamite
The young woman to the right of camera is Jeannette Lee, formerly of PiL and now of Rough Trade Records. Also, there is a brief appearance from Viv Albertine at the start. RIP Sid and Keith.
He wasn't necessarily 'Doomed from the start' - if you look at Steve Jones early life ,it just pointed to a disturbed criminal /sex offender & a future of imprisonment- & despite going through Alcoholism/addiction after the Pistols fell apart he found something that saw him through...
@@mjh5437 Yeah ,you can watch footage of someone that commits a crime or dies young & in hindsight find something that isn't really there. I think the first few months of being a Pistol he really enjoyed himself.
Surprisingly not necessarily 'doomed from the start ' - I've known of many people that had addicts & alcoholics as parents & someone who lost both parents to O.D.s while still a teenager ,that didn't follow the same path...and equally many addicts that came from 'Ordinary, caring families '..
It is impossible NOT to feel compassion for Sid and Nancy, but no one should romanticize them or their relationship. Sid tortured & murdered cats and kittens.
Yup, he also beat Malcolm McLauren down in the studio, punched a girl out cold in the lobby of Clelsea Hotel plus permanently blinded a girl at 100 Club. No sympathy towards that POS
Well I don't miss him beating Malcolm McLauren in the studio, permanently blinding a girl at 100 Club, punching out a girl cold in Chelsea Hotel lobby, and strangleling cats. He's right where he needs to be, DEAD.....and good riddance to that POS
Do you have any 1979 Motörhead interviews by any chance??????????????????????????????!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
He was a beautiful boy but tragic he did not get the upbringing he deserved. He was vulnerable and not equipped for fame. Drugs dulled his pain and inadequacies. His mother gave him drugs instead of giving him the help he needed.
For any young person watching this don’t be disillusioned by this “happy” video of Sid. Interesting as he is, the harsh reality is he wasn’t a sweet innocent person like others are saying when he was whacking people over the head with bike chains or stabbing his girlfriend whilst off his head on smack & living in a shithole. Having an image is ok until it becomes your reality
@@BillyJango You’d be surprised, just look at the rest of comments. Some daft kid will think that he’s “rock n roll” when really he’s just some smack head who joined a band
@@adambrennan579 I think you read my text wrong or I typed it wrong. I wasn't saying "Not really every young lad's idol" because I thought nobody looked up to him. I meant that Sid was not that punk legend that people see when they see a picture of him. He was actually a very shy fucked up kid with massive problems.
he had been videotaped hanging out with nancy this night lol they were hooking up at this point. but it was in fact before he got very sick from hepatitis
Who else thinks that the title should be changed to " Sid Vicious and Keith Levene partying backstage , London , late 70s " ? Latter just as relevant as Sid ,in many ways much more so ...
PLEASE does anyone have any idea what band is playing in the background during the first few seconds? Sounds really good and fits the atmosphere perfectly
You gotta give love to get it. He beat a innocent stranger girl in Chelsea Hotel lobby for no reason, beat Malcolm McLauren down at the studio Malcolm was trying to help him at, permanently blinded a girl at 100 Club plus strangled a cat. Sid don't deserve Sh*t!
Can't blame Nancy really. She had a psychiatric disorder - bi-polar and by other accounts, schizophrenia. The mother, however, really let this boy down.
So he can punch out another girl cold at Chelsea Hotel, beat Malcolm McLauren down in the studio, blinded a girl at 100 Club, plus strangled a cat. Maybe he would send you out to hookup with strangers in a back ally to score drug money while he watched, like he dud with Nancy......that is if he knew you. Good riddance to a piece of Sh*t
A good lad? He blinded a girl at 100 Club, beat Malcolm McLauren down in the studio, punched a girl out cold in the Chelsea Hotel lobby plus strangled a cat. Good lad my ass
@@johnhareiel5118 And smashed bottles over the heads and faces of Bob Harris, Dick Dent and Todd Smith, Patti Smith's brother. They all were "sucker punched" - but with bottles - by this good lad, and all three of them were known as meek, mild types. Oh, and Sid stuck a knife in his girlfriend's abdomen. Good lad huh?
Outstanding footage. Keith Levene off to party at Louise's nightclub later with Viv Albertine, Sid and the oriental from Steve Jones's Lonely Boy take from the Rock 'N' Roll Swindle film. Oh to have a time machine. Fantastic upload Kino. Hats off and dreads exposed to Don Letts.
They are backstage at the Roxy .The Pistols had just returned from Jersey . Sid was telling them about him farting in the custom officers face when they searched his arse for drugs .. Turn the sound up you can piece it together .I remember reading the transcript years ago about 77 or 78 just after it happened. This is way before he got too messed up on smack with that dreadful slag Nancy .
I had one. It shouldn’t be hard to find a copy. I had copies of a few of the old Vivienne Westwood/Sex Pistols shirts except for the swastika ones which I wouldn’t wear.
Sids wearing the pink trousers that V Westwood hated and set fire to.? (dum dum boys by iggy pop on P.A.) Anybody recognise the others ,apart from Keith Levene ?
From a french point of view: an Arthur Rimbaud poet attitude in real life as reported by Friends etc but without the brain and lyrics and poesy and Travels all around the World and in th 19th century.
Nope. The girl he blinded at 100 Club, or beating Malcolm McLaren down in the studio, punching a girl out cold at Chelsea Hotel, or strangling cats. I'm sure the POS is burning right about now

So he can punch out another girl cold at Chelsea Hotel, beat Malcolm McLauren down in the studio, blinded a girl at 100 Club, plus strangled a cat. Maybe he would send you out to hookup with strangers in a back ally to score drug money while he watched, like he dud with Nancy......that is if he knew you. Good riddance to a piece of Sh*t
Such a good lad. What a pity.
A good lad? He blinded a girl at 100 Club, beat Malcolm McLauren down in the studio, punched a girl out cold in the Chelsea Hotel lobby plus strangled a cat. Good lad my ass
@@johnhareiel5118 And smashed bottles over the heads and faces of Bob Harris, Dick Dent and Todd Smith, Patti Smith's brother. They all were "sucker punched" - but with bottles - by this good lad, and all three of them were known as meek, mild types. Oh, and Sid stuck a knife in his girlfriend's abdomen. Good lad huh?
just another animal abuser😾👎
Rip sid.Thanks for the great memories. 😢.sad.
Outstanding footage. Keith Levene off to party at Louise's nightclub later with Viv Albertine, Sid and the oriental from Steve Jones's Lonely Boy take from the Rock 'N' Roll Swindle film. Oh to have a time machine. Fantastic upload Kino. Hats off and dreads exposed to Don Letts.
Are they at a Lou Reed show lol
They are backstage at the Roxy .The Pistols had just returned from Jersey . Sid was telling them about him farting in the custom officers face when they searched his arse for drugs .. Turn the sound up you can piece it together .I remember reading the transcript years ago about 77 or 78 just after it happened. This is way before he got too messed up on smack with that dreadful slag Nancy .
I need his Vive le Rock T-shirt with Little Richard
I had one. It shouldn’t be hard to find a copy. I had copies of a few of the old Vivienne Westwood/Sex Pistols shirts except for the swastika ones which I wouldn’t wear.
You can order one online
I feel like sid wasn’t in this video
It was Simon sid was a crazy drug blinded child
Simon was a happy normal boy
@ttfpouyiiwhat does that mean?
Sids wearing the pink trousers that V Westwood hated and set fire to.? (dum dum boys by iggy pop on P.A.)
Anybody recognise the others ,apart from Keith Levene ?
From a french point of view: an Arthur Rimbaud poet attitude in real life as reported by Friends etc but without the brain and lyrics and poesy and Travels all around the World and in th 19th century.
What is the song in the background? sounds like david bowie.
Dum dum boys - Iggy pop
ALBUM WAS A IGGY / BOWIE COLLABORATION!! THE IDIOT!!☺
He’s NOT on H right here & look how different he acts!! Smiling & R just drunk , No nodding & speaking half asleep! TOO SAD! ❤️😓
“…unless you turn and become like little children, you will not enter the kingdom of heaven.”
what music was playing the background??
Iggy pop.
Sid for live ? .RIP Sid .
Nope. The girl he blinded at 100 Club, or beating Malcolm McLaren down in the studio, punching a girl out cold at Chelsea Hotel, or strangling cats. I'm sure the POS is burning right about now
His innocence killed him
Vive le Rock
thank god for Don Letts
Iggy pop song dum dum boys in background.
Is that Magazine playing in the background?
dum dum boys by iggy pop
Magazine weren't around till about 1980. Well the guys were around tho not as Magazine.
I didn’t realise that he was so young. I was too young for the punk scene then.
The footage is raw gold and insightful.
What's the background music at around 2 mins?
Iggy pop - dum dum boys
Iggy Pop Dum Dum Boys
Keith Levene in there as well I think.
Definitely. Jeanette Lee sitting next to Sid as well.
That's dave vanian not kieth
@@stephenmccoy898 Possibly, tho I think I hear Sid say "Keith can you help me do my shoe up" :)
@@troublebrewing2121 defo vanian like,, may he's lurking in the background 🤣
@@stephenmccoy898 it’s Keith Levene
He was a free soul.
He has lived his short live like he wanted.
Well done SID! 👌🥃
I Always Wanted To Wear Vive le Rock T-shirt
What song is that playing?
"Dum dum boys" iggy pop - the idiot.
Through this video, it appears that Sid is provocative, but that’s his natural language.
Proper legend
@1:50... Sweet Home Alabama is blaring out at that party..
My idol
Tom Cruise?
What band is that playing in the background?
Cigarettes work much better if you just smoke them correctly.
He's smoking that 'cigarette' correctly, depends how you smoke i guess.....lol
It is not a Cigarette it is a joint
