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

What would you call him?

The other was Marco Pirroni later of Adam Ant.

Sid.

A guy who was interesting when yelling

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

Severin', severin' or speak so slightly

Severin' down on your bended knee

Taste the whip, in love not given lightly

Severin' taste the whip

Severin' taste the whip, now plead for me

Wow, there's a lot of S's in this title.

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

Siouxsie and the Banshees**

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.

and Bow Wow Wow too i think?

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

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

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

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.

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

Is that why she and Ray Davies tied the knot?

Budgie/McGeoch was my favorite Banshees era.

A guy

a person of culture and taste I see

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.
