Calling Sid Vicious a "musician" is kind of a stretch

Ray_Pingeau t1_issip1t wrote on October 18, 2022 at 11:51 AM

Kind of?

Lemmy continued, “Sid Vicious lived in my flat for a couple of months and I tried to teach him bass, but he was hopeless.”

Then there is his drumming from the show in question

Lemmy also sat in on bass for the Damned for a bit too

Love how that article tries to make it out like Sid died some horrendous death that should be talked about only in hushed tones when it was a pretty standard and straight forward drug OD.

the whole death of Nancy bit right before it tends to do that

Still better than some of the "musicans" these days. but yeah. he had the look but he could not play bass at all

The other was Marco Pirroni later of Adam Ant.

Siouxsie was also part of a group that was with the Sex Pistols on some BBC show when the drunk Host starts hitting on her (?)

Steve Jones just lays into the guy. calling him a fucking old dirty bastard and a fucking wanker or something to that effect

You can hear this dynamic in their first album before they really found their voice.

Budgie/McGeoch was my favorite Banshees era.

Robert Smith from the Cure played with them as well for a while - and that's where he got his signature look.

Go look at any videos of him prior to playing with them - and then check him out in every video since.

Sid nearly married Chrissie Hynde in an effort to let her stay in England. the Justice of the Peace was closed that day and he got nervous about doing it after that.

Mosenji t1_ist7ps7 wrote on October 18, 2022 at 3:08 PM

Is that why she and Ray Davies tied the knot?

Kiss Them For Me!

TIL after another band backed out, Malcolm McLaren suggested Siouxsie Sioux and the Banshees play the 100 Club Punk Special. At the time, the band consisted only of Siouxsie Sioux and Steven Severin, so they had to borrow two musicians, one of which was Sid Vicious (who played drums).
