"Steve completely understood that he was talking to a drunk as you would a drunk in a pub"
"I just remember this fucking cunt started provoking us"
Funny as fuck interview
this bullshit has 9/11 level significance in british culture
it’s funny how the swearing was what caused such a furore and not the fact that Simon Barker was wearing a swastika armband. nowadays it would be the complete opposite.
9/11 was funnier
9/11 level significance
lol
phony ass poser band
Shut up yank
Literally the only punk band that ever mattered. When they split up in January 1978 punk was finished.
yikes buddy. amyl and the sniffers and idles are better than the sex pistols ever were and they can actually play
You mean 11/9, stupid yank rotter.
Funniest thing ever, in fact. I loved watching those fat cunts jump out of the windows. Lolololol
Not really but I see your point
Americans act like their punk bands are so important kek
Sid could be very belligerent. You wrote a lot about him “glassing” people in bars. Did you ever feel like he was putting you in danger?
>When we came to America, I would go with him to these cowboy bars and he was like a magnet to cowboys, just looking at him, and they would fight. One time, me and him and one of the bodyguards that was assigned to be looking after us got into a fight at some bar in Texas or somewhere. I thought, “You know what? I’ve had enough of this.” It was almost like he was provoking it to live up to the image with the media. It was like, “You’re Sid Vicious, now do something vicious.”
The stooges won
During their initial meeting, Albertine mentioned her recent acquisition of a guitar, to which Vicious replied, “I’ll be in a band with you.” Albertine was shocked, “This is an extraordinary thing for a guy to say because there are hardly any boys and girls in bands together. […] The idea of us two playing together makes even the Pistols seem a bit old-fashioned.”
Before she knew it, she’d agreed to be in a band with Vicious despite not even knowing his name. When she asked Jones who exactly she’d just met, he replied plainly: “Sid. Mate of John’s. You don’t want to get mixed up with him.”
Describing her impressions of Vicious, she called him “sheepish and bashful,” adding, “He acts the clown, the village idiot, like Ollie in Laurel and Hardy: he’s no fool, so he must want people to underestimate him.”
Albertine continues, “Sid’s whole persona is a mask, which is weird because he despises fakery and bullshit. He makes me think of that Jamaican expression, ‘Play fool, get wise.’ He’s watching everything and listening to everyone, but tries not to let on how clever he is.”

Evidence that Sid could play bass despite what revisionist zoomtrannies have to say about it: youtube.com
100% fabricated outrage, literally no one was offended by this and was only created to sell records.
Was he already a junkie?
Syd was a moron, you know, he was...an idiot
He didn’t start using heroin until he met Nancy in 1977. Before that it was just alcohol and speed.
A popular opinion on reddit
the sex pistols were the good charlotte of early british punk. completely phony fashion obsessed posers
I saw Freddie Mercury in the flesh … pictures can’t convey how revolting that bloke is … he’s absolutely hideous, he’s like an old Turk … he’s got a great big blue shadow that comes right up to under his eyes youtube.com
nhh
clothes picked by a fashion designer
zoomtranny revisionism because you want to virtue signal to your fellow redditors about how sid was hecking problematic and john rotten did a racism
They are far from being my favorite band but Sex Pistols were one of the most interesting bands ever. Nice thread.
Yeah US punks dressed like shit, we know
They were just imitating US Punk like Johnny Thunders and Richard Hell.
Ramones were cooler.
ramones always looked incredibly gay
RAMONES was literally the coolest band ever
youtube.com
looks kinda gay to me
and I should know, I'm gay
I'm gay
Don’t worry, everyone agrees.
your bands would still be teddy boys if the New York Dolls didn’t go over and do a bunch of drugs in your presence
It’s quite the opposite. Punk was just a type of Rock in the US but in the UK it was a social revolution.
what happened to him after PIL?
He ate too much butter
Lydon actually have a pretty tragic life if you look up. His best friend overdosed on heroin, then he became an alcoholic, then his wife developed dementia before dying few years ago.
no no, come on, what was the rude word?
you want them to be gay as well because they're cool and you want to have butt sex with them
