Sid Vicious on EAUGTV -- Entire One Hour Episode
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 19 дек 2011
- This is the entire one hour episode of: Sid Vicious, Nancy Spungen, Stiv Bators (of The Dead Boys) and Cynthia (of The B Girls) appearing on Efrom Allen's Underground TV show. Two weeks after this was shot Nancy was killed in the Chelsea Hotel and Sid was wrongly arrested for the murder. After detoxing in jail, Sid was released two weeks later and promptly OD'd when he did his "usual"dose of smack. Several months later Stiv was hit by a car in London and died the following day. R.I.P to all, my friends.
Originally shown on Manhattan Cable's public access channel in the 1970s.

"Sid, you're on live television".
*Proceeds to pick his nose*
Lmao 😂
Joachim Lowe : Hold my booger
To be fair, he picks his nose and aims it at the Compare
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
That's my dad!!
This is much more interesting than the homework I'm supposed to be doing
+Lucy O'Donoghue It's probably much more useful too. In fact, taking a shit is more useful than doing your homework. Fuck homework, it's not necessary. Real talk, Lucy.
Do your homework. Steer clear of heroin.
Are u studing British History? That's the best part ...
Ha ha, American history is best, I guess you missed the part where we kicked your ass all the way back to England?
Sid Vicious was very good in history at school,from his mum and book"Too fast to live" from Alan Parker!!!
Nancy’s New York accent infused with some British twang is perplexing.
J Cali you’ve perfectly summed it up. 👍
She is from outside of Phila.,PA so it is even more perp,exing (aka fake) like Madonna was with her BS feigned English accent.
i guess everybody forgot that after moving to a place with different dialects/accents, you inevitably start picking them up lol
@@cursedfetus8129
But some people deliberately exaggerate that and it is obviously fake and cringeworthy.
I agree
Imagine getting one shot to ask sid vicious anything you want and wasting it on a prank call. These people have no idea how valuable of an opportunity they had
a perfect opportunity as any other.
Sid never had anything interesting to say anyway.
@@johnnyb980 he actually had interviews saying some nice and intellectual things. If he took himself more seriously people could've seen a bright side in him and not some dumb goofy funny basehead
Yes, it was a big missed opportunity. One can only imagine the fascinating insights Sid could have imparted.
Sid was not a musician but an iconic image of the period and this is rare footage of him still living and breathing. This is why youtube is great. Crazy that all three were dead shortly after.
All 3..there are 6 people in this video.
@@erinhand the host is dead too so theres another 1 dead
He was a musician.
There is quite a lot of footage of sid
Stiv didn't die till many years later.
Look at Sid...he is a boy, not even a man yet. Then all this happened. He was in no way prepared to deal with the issues,and had literally nobody in his corner. RIP, Sid
Agreed. To much going on he didn't know how to deal with.
So sad because he was really funny and kind hearted before the drugs fucked him up.He was just a boy but with lot's of problems.
R.I.P & REST IN POWER BEAUTIFUL SID VICIOUS💝❤💝
@D Larson proof??
@betty black Yeah, both of them mere kids 'playing' at adulthood/life. Makes it even more tragic imo
@67psych3 I've actually seen Matlock (on a couch) talking about this incident, fuckin horrid too.
24:58 "There is just a graveyard and its coming fast" [Camera zooms to Sid and Nancy ] . Two weeks later...
"you didn't introduce me" poor Nancy, she didn't deserve the hate she got.
The fact he died at 21 is really depressing. Just a kid really
Kyle Crary I find Sid depressing. Beautiful, yes, cool, definitely, but very depressing.
Yeah and Nancy was 20.
It's more tragic to get stabbed as well but that's just me......
@@thesecondRUclips both died before there time. Herion is bad news
just like peep and X and juice wrld
Darby Crash, 21
Poor Sid and Nancy, neither of them really had a chance. Sid's mother was a registered heroin addict. And Nancy suffered from severe mental illness her whole life, even as a baby.
+jaxbus3000 'Registered heroin addict' LOL. Courtesy of John Lydon :-) Anyways I 100% agree. And let's not forget, they were just kids.
I completely agree.
+jaxbus3000 There was no doubt Sid was madly in love with Nancy. He was completely lost without her.
Goid biok to read is "And I Don't Want To Live" by Nancysr mother
+jaxbus3000 god you read all there biography's.. lol get a life
Say what you want about Nancy...She was the only one there who was coherent and most important made alot of valid points. Her high IQ really came out.
Plus Stiv, also made sense
Yes true. The sid and Nancy film made her look like a degenerate loud mouth but she had so much intelligence as did sid.
Just read And I Don't Want To Live This Life. It'll change everyone's whole perspective on Nancy. She was cool, man.
She was intelligent & a complete whack job. - Her lights were on, but nobody was home.
Schizophrenic people are very smart.
People that used to call into radio stations in the 70s are the same kind of people who comment on RUclips videos today.

@@peterreid9769 You know exactly what I’m talking about, Peter.
?
@Fuk Yamumindabum Do you know what's happening? What do you know? Please tell me your thoughts about what you think! Do it now!
@Fuk Yamumindabum What happened? I'm confused! Sorry for the mix up. I have no idea how this sounds to you. Thanks
I've been a serious Pistols fan for thirty years and I've never even HEARD of this 'Hour With Sid And Nancy' ever! Recorded a month before Nancy died, two things strike me - just how fluent and together Nancy is (while Sid's his usual amusing, goofy self) and the irony that while nearly all the callers are rude and ignorant to them, the couple are way more intelligent and robust in their responses. A fascinating upload, thank you.
the fuck were you listening too they insulted every caller..get the shit out of your earsr
TIME TO GROW UP MATT.....YOUR GETTIN OLD SON.
Your talking through your arse, intelligent ffs, they insulted every fucker that phoned in ha, they sounded like brats, twats. More intelligence comes out of my arse in the form of flatulence. 😂
Agreed
i was impressed with her too. she’s extremely intelligent and insightful in this interview, and shows a great business mind, especially for her being so young. the sex pistols were before my time so i only knew about the myths of nancy. it really makes you wonder what really happened at the chelsea hotel.
wasn't it nice to see sid smile?
Jeff Stewart, Sid had a lovely smile, and it's good to see this side of him, too, and not just the iconic "Vicious" persona!
Yes, it was wonderful. So cute! He was so handsome.
@@SabrinaMeShell , the story of Sid and Nancy is so incredibly sad. And while Sid had some troubling incedents of violence I don't think that he has killed Nancy. It doesn't make sense because he was far too stoned for stabbing anyone fatally. He had been knocked out cold for many hours after having taken loads of strong downers and they don't make people violent. There were also so many dubious people from the local drug scene around that night who could go into the hotel room and walk out again unnoticed. Someone else must've been in the room because a lot of money was missing. It's a shame that the police never investigated the crime in a professional and competent manner and focussed solely on Sid instead. If he hadn't died before the trial he would've had a good chance of getting acquitted. And if his mother hadn't been a disfunctional junkie as well she could've tried to have this crime properly investigated after Sid's death. As it is there's a good chance that a killer walked away unpunished.
@@sabineb.5616 Agreed, on all points. It has always been my belief that Sid had nothing to do with it, and that someone broke in and killed Nancy. Just an absolutely heartbreaking story. :(
@@SabrinaMeShell , I agree!
Whatever happened that night: the official version - that Sid stabbed Nancy in a drug induced rage and then nodded off without remembering a thing - is the least likely scenario IMO. I'm not even saying that Sid wasn't at all capable of violence. He clearly did have moments of violence. But it still doesn't make sense because he hadn't taken any drugs which could've induced a psychotic rage. According to the medical assessments and eye witness reports he was out cold and almost comatose during that night.
Nancy's mother Deborah Spungen has written a very touching book about her daughter and her relationship with Sid. Nancy was smart as a whip but to say that she was a troubled teenager is an understatement. She caused trouble already when she was a baby. She was clearly different and psychologically very challenged. She needed competent psychiatric help. Deborah Spungen thinks that Nancy may have died because of a suicide pact and that she may have asked Sid to stab her or even could've tried to stab herself and then bled to death. It's very interesting insofar as Deborah Spungen seemed to have some sympathy for Sid and she realized that he was still so young and immature and that he had a very vulnerable and soft side which was very much at odds with his public "Vicious" persona. She doesn't doubt that Sid truly loved her daughter.
I don't know if the suicide pact scenario or the idea that Nancy stabbed herself because she wanted to die, is viable, though. When Sid was released from prison he gave this heartbreaking interview where he said that he wanted to be "under the ground" and that he had to keep his end of the bargain. But stabbing Nancy into the abdomen seems to be a very awkward and uncomfortable way to depart from life. And they certainly could've had any drugs they wanted if they both really wanted to die together. I also think that in that case Sid should've had at least a faint memory that they had planned to die together during that night, even if he couldn't remember how exactly it happened. For these reasons I still think that a drug business gone wrong or an escalated robbery is the most likely explanation for Nancy's death.
We will never know and because the police investigation was so shoddy the crime will remain unsolved :( But Sid and Nancy's death is such a tragedy and such a waste. As I said, Nancy was very smart and I think that Sid was a very talented entertainer. He certainly wasn't a musical genius, but none of the Sex Pistols was that great initially. But they were getting better. Sid had learned a lot in a very short time, and I think that he had loads of natural charisma.
That was a long comment 😊. But ever since I learned more details about Sid and Nancy I feel that their story deserves to be re-evaluated.
These interviewers were really looking at each other and asking rude shit, almost getting off giving Nancy a hard time...and she remained more intelligent and sharp then the interviewers...she had drive and balls for sure.
Sid would be 62 years old, right now ,if he was still alive
Punk Rockers are in their 50s and 60s. Generation X are getting old.
This thought really fucks me up 🤣 he's like forever young
i love sids reaction to hearing himself sing
Lmao 😂 Yeah that was funny.
@@celenajones6352 The way he giggles when he hears the song is priceless.
I love his reaction to this entire interview. He just smokes and laughs at everything.
He look at anyone while talking, just a blank stare. lol
Nancy was the only one with anything to say and able to form a sentence on here lol
With a faked British accent though. Who knows why
Sids like a giggly teenage boy in class. His smile is adorable.
He tortured animals
@@claytonjean6385 I followed the Sex pistols for over 40 years and closely too and I never heard that. What is your source.
@@lordcharfield4529 not close enough
@@lordcharfield4529 Google it. A quick search told me that he tortured and killed a cat with a leather belt in front of a group of his friends. Mark Helfond witnessed the incident and has said he wished he could go back in time and stop it.
Who gives a fuck about a dead cat really
24:57 This part is kinda fucked up, the song lyrics say "there's just a graveyard and its comin fast" and the camera pans to Sid and Nancy then zooms into Nancy all close. She died 3 weeks after this, Sid shortly after that. It was kinda creepy
EmmA Pestilencia wow yeah that is fucking creepy! Predictive programming?
Yea almost like death is calling
WHAT IS THE SONG
Yea thats weird
They all higher than you, dorks dont get high.
Jagger was never a punk. Never.
ik , that's what I was saying wanted to look down on the reporter who wrote this
+Paul Metzger Strolling Bones.
+Paul Metzger True he never was. Although I would say Keith was to some extent, the whole attitude he always had was quite punk before it was established what punk was :)
Paul Metzger my parents and I listen to them
depends what you mean. he is a blues guy. but the new york dolls were massively infuenced by the stones and the pistols by the dolls. so mick did contribute to punk in a way. the stones and the pistols used to play some of the same songs aswell. also what does punk mean? the rolling stones were self taught musicians who lived in shotholes and played loads of gigs so they could create a scene. dont be fooled by what the stones are now. if the pistols had earned billions they may have turned out a bit pompous also
I love this. There are lots of brief interview clips out there, but it's so interesting to see the raw unedited footage to get a real feel for what everyone was like.
it feels like theyre being interogated instead of interviewed. they were so young.
yes its disgusting. They ask flippantly about him being a junkie and smile. Disgusting behaviour
It's refreshing to be able to go back and see a time when rock n roll could still rile and repulse proper society
I find it sad. Grunge was Rocks last breaths and Emo it’s death rattle.
It's funny when a caller says to Sid ''Where were you five years ago? How come we only just heard of ya? That would probably be because Sid was 15 years old then. He was only 21 when he died. I find that really sad. 21 is way too young to know anything about life. At the time you think you do until you hit 30 or 40 and you realise being 21 is so young.
Right, he should have wait to be 27 to enter in the legend (Hendrix, Joplin, Cobain,...) :-/
you're right, sid was to young to really understand much about hitting so called fame at his age, or @ least dealing with it! just my opinion..
I'm 20 and I've had adults telling me all my life "teenagers think they know everything", and yet they've never bothered to ask us... I've always known that I don't have nearly as much knowledge as any adult, and that I have so much to learn. Of course we don't know everything, we only /just/ came into existence in an unfathomably huge universe. and you know what? I love learning from people older than me, and I respect their observations about life. so, next time you come across a kid who seems like they think they know everything, ask them if that's really the case, you might be surprised :)
I am 46, I think now and I didnt know squat at 21, though I was fairly mature and in the military. 21 is pretty young to die.
So true about twenty one being young
Thank you so much for this entire interview. Thank God it was filmed in the first place.
49:02 the way she gets mad over sid 😂💕
Makes you realise how very young Sid was, all of them really.
Damn, the whole show was like an oral reading of a RUclips comment section. I guess folks have not changed much. It's too bad only a few people had real questions. Thanks for the video, though!
Now that you point that out. That is funny!!! Hahahaha!
so true hahahahah I LOVE it
SO PERFECT!
Thats coz stupid people always breed. Lol
The only difference is that they're caught off guard when the group members or the host talking back to them, that they don't have time to think of an insult. Like when that one caller asked the host "why are you so protective of your guests?" and the host quickly said that insults don't add to the conversation, and then assertively asked the caller if he had something to say, and the caller quieted down and said no. I thought that was really funny that people were calling to insult the band and ended up getting shut down quickly lol.
never knew that nancy spungen was so incredibly smart. everything she says is sharp as a blade. no pun intended.
You should read her mother's book. It's an excellent book. Nancy was very smart, a very high IQ and a great student...but very troubled from birth, sadly.
The accent is really off...lol.
That's because she's speeding out her face they all are
Gold digger junkie groupie.
@@emzchaos6273 the guy from Dead Boys is tweaking for sure.
Kinda fascinated with Sid lately. He's like watching a train wreck and you can't look away.
This is one of the great documents of punk culture.
12:25 every musicians know the awkward situation of listening to your own recordings with people LOL
Zacky Sickness, when Sid listened to his rendition of "My Way" - that's the best part of the show! For a few fleeting moments he's just a very charming, beautiful and slightly shy boy and he let's go of his Sid Vicious persona . It's heartbreaking to consider how young they were when they died. In the end they were probably both victims, although undoubtedly Sid had a dark and violent streak. But during the night of Nancy's death he was too far gone on strong sedative pills for stabbing anyone.
@@sabineb.5616 Maybe she stabed herself.🔪
Sabine B. They said he took like 30 tuinols, that’s fuckin crazy
@@sabineb.5616 He was passed out ... he never did it
Zacky Sickness it’s so hilarious omg his trying to keep a straight face” lmao
I love how nancy wasn’t afraid to say she supported feminism, even when everyone else in the room laughed at the concept…including that other chick.
Look at us now!!! Christ almighty, how we have fallen!!!
What's there to love? lol the others were correct
Because feminism is funny
She was very politically active at a very early age. Very much into saving the planet and empowering disadvantaged groups. A lot of things people don’t know about her. She was a sensitive, thoughtful person.
@@trishasword the important thing is tho is that back then we were ok with being friends with people who thought differently. We didn’t surround ourselves with ppl who think just like us. Sid would wear Nazi shirts and Nancy supported early feminism . Like imagine today a couple having that dynamic
This is gold dust. Could watch it for hours and hours.
11:51 LOOK AT THAT SWEET SMILE
❤️❤️❤️😍
He was so handsome. RIP Sid❤️
Yeah 🥺🥺
@@azra6706 he really was stunning and loaded with charisma. I feel like I'm the only one who sees it, glad I'm not,
Say what you want about Nancy, but she was the only person there who was remotely alert or had a spark of energy, or could string together a totally coherent sentence.
So true. People are quick to judge and criticise Nancy but she was intelligent and smart (and beautiful). She was probably the best thing to have happened to Sid. She cared for him, look after him, loved him. I think she's cool.
bhamacuk They weren't good for each other, ultimately; but when two addicts hook up, of course their addictions escalate. They were both pretty broken people; their relationship was not healthy. But they certainly loved each other, and Nancy wasn't a half bad manager; she booked lots of gigs for him and negotiated big pay for them. If she'd had her shit together she might have been the Sharon Osborne of punk.
moonlily1 That is 100% right!!!!
Daniela Schwarz
She's often blamed for Sid's addiction by Malcolm, but she tried to help him, tried to help herself; she brought him to methadone clinics, she asked her mother to contact a friend about getting them booked at the rehab facility where she worked a few days before her death. The only thing Malcolm did to address Sid's addiction was have Nancy beaten up and kidnapped; as if that wouldn't just turn Sid against Malcolm; as if he wouldn't have just found another way to score without her. He did nothing more for the boy until he was clearly dying, and even then he didn't do much. His concern for getting Nancy out of his life probably had less to do with Sid's addiction than Nancy's influence over him making him less likely to do whatever Malcolm said.
moonlily1 what....she was more of a junkie than him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ive watched this atleast 6times already lol love sid an nancy wish there was more footage so glad you got the whole episode up salute!!
Watching this, and the way the callers and even the hosts reacted to them, who would've thought at that time that Sid and Nancy would be so huge that there would be books, movies, and documentaries about them in the future.
Sid is THE Icon and THE Attitude and THE Legend of Punk Rock.
I don't like the hate Nancy gets, you can tell she has Sid's back. As far as the drugs I have no doubt they were as bad as each other, but she seems loyal and protective
Protective? Loyal? No...two addicted people hanging onto each other so they won't fall.
A junkie girlfriend is the epitome of evil, I learned from experience.👌
Oh trust me, we just hate women. He literally killed her and anything I've watched on it all has just been "Nancy was really awful" "oh Sid wasn't all bad" 🙄
I'm not making out either of them are saints, but it's just a tragic loss of young life either way
@@Silvercentipede I agree. Nancy was, by almost all accounts, a really obnoxious and unlikeable person, and yet the hate she gets is beyond all reason. She was stabbed in the stomach and bled out on a bathroom floor, but somehow she's the bad one and poor Sid the victim. It's the Yoko-Courtney thing - people just hate women who dare to pair up with an idol
@@greg7656 I totally agree; a woman died when she was 20, can't we just be respectful :( i haven't met her in person obviously, but I totally agree I hardly think having an obnoxious or annoying personality is account for being murdered by your boyfriend :(
I watched a documentary and this guy who knew her was like "the thing is sometimes you could feel like stabbing her" and like laughing like erghhh 💔💔
And Courtney Love is like one of my Queens 💓 I 100% agree, and it's funny because ultimately these are the women these men loved and chose to be with :( I remember Ariana Grande getting shit for Macmiller's overdose. She posted a tweet or something stating that it is not a woman's responsibility to be a babysitter and be wholely accountable for another person and I completely agree
❤️
Great to see him smile & laugh at the comedy of his own vocal intro when they played MY WAY....Good to see him laugh bless him.......R.I.P SID.
I just fell in love with Nancy Spungen. I always assumed she was a complete mess, but she's sharp as a knife here.
Thank you, for posting this video. It's very sad, that Nancy, Sid @ Stiv, are no longer with us. May they rest in peace. xxx
2019 & 2020 anyone?? 🔥
So f Kool. They were the trendsetters. They paved the way these skilled musicians with their talent. RIP Nancy & Sid.
This footage is timeless! Sid was alright!
Hugh Betcha I see a lot of similarities in persona to Billy Idol. Sid must've really influenced the young William Broad.
What an absolute gem thank you❤️
The best version of "My Way" i ever heard !!
Poor Sid....a victim . Only respect for him. OK Sid...R.I.P
Very interesting, a window to a time period.
Thank you for uploading this!!!!
This is like watching a 54 minute train wreck.
That is what makes it so legendary. Classic footage, and we will never see anything like this ever again in music. Everyone now is fake and kisses too much ass. Drinking their fuckin lattes and talking nonsense.
yeah thats true the interviewers where terrible
@@nicknasty14 Beats shooting heroin and talking nonsense, don't ya think?
imahorsefaceddipshit Anything beats today’s music! I’d rather watch Sid on heroin all day than have to watch some fake ass bullshit! Guy was a legend and the Sex Pistols started a total revolution. Everybody is a pussy now. It’s a business and nothing more now. I like your avatar by the way, haha.
@@nicknasty14 Me to its all the same now no originality. These mindless people today couldn't start a revolution if they were in life or death.
Wat a legend!!!! 20 years old and ready to take on anyone. There will never be another like sid! My biggest inspiration- never ever let them take you alive. RIP SID VICIOUS 🪦💔
Wow what a great and unique interview from the archive some 42 or 43 years ago. I shall definately be watching this again a few more times. Thanks for putting on here. Cynthia of the B Girls is the only one of the 4 still alive. RIP Sid, Nancy and Stiv. xxxx
Nancy had such a sweet voice. I love hearing her talk.
Bree Me too
shes putting on an accent bro
Bree me to
Me too. She talks like Karen from Goodfellas.
Interesting accent, masking a British accent with a NY east coast accent
Hearing his " My Way", (my favorite)...again, after all these years, had a new and profound effect on me.
That song reminds me of the film Goodfellas.
The only thing that comes to mind when seeing videos is just that Sid, Nancy, and Stiv are in heaven with no more personal struggles or addictions. I really think Sid would have gone on to further be a great hard rock muscian. It appears that Sid was able to get good at bass by the time the Sex Pistols broke up. He had a great rock voice too. Sorry for the ramble people, but there is something chronically heartbreaking about Sid, Nancy, and Stiv. Thank you for sharing this entire television show with us.
"why are you dressed like that?" "because we like it" Good answer !!!!
Nancy was very pretty. Theres some pictures of her and Sid outside a courthouse ( they had court)& she had no makeup on& damn the girl was naturally beautiful.
I agree 😊
She reminds me of lady Gaga who wears too much make up but underneath it is quite pretty.
20 of course my dude 5'1 lol SPUNKY miss her. and he didn't do it.
@@tanidancer5628 She was gorgeous.
@@desertrose1226 Gaga still looking good with makeup and Nancy too
Thank you so much for posting this video :) it is very much appreciated... as for Sid, he had the most adorable smile R.I.P.
That is absoulutely true,his smile is so brilliant and sexy,sorry but I love Sid and I read in John Lydons book "Anger is an Energy" that SID was humorous without drugs and that he hates violence when they where on college.Shit that his mother was an heroin addict(she died 1996 of an overdose heroin too) and that he met Nancy this shit groupie & stripper(she wants to go out with Johnny Rotten but he didn´t like her and so she goes to Sid)....poor Sid.
He was so young just 21 and so broken.I think when he had a good mother and his father (he left the family when Sid was two years old) didn´t left the family ,maybe he would be still alive... R.I.P beautiful SID VICIOUS aka John Simon Ritchie Beverly.......Sorry for that english please;)
This was comedy gold 😂 Sid's quips had me in stitches.
Thanks for sharing Efrom.
How can your heart not go out to Sid, a kid chewed up and spat out by fame.
@@Chris_34 Oh, thanks for letting me know, God rest and bless his soul.
So glad to see this up-load.If one were to believe the 1986 film then you would expect Nancy and Sid to look like death,yet Nancy looks stunning here (how I love it when she plays with her gorgeous hair).You would also expect her to have an annoying,whiny voice,yet she sounds very pleasant and raised her voice only one time.The DVD "Sad Vacation" states she stepped over Sid in answering questions directed to him,but I did not see any of that.Cynthia Ross appears in that DVD and she looks amazingly preserved (though heavy on the "Goth" look).And just to reply to the person who commented on everybody's shirts not looking "properly fitted,there was a time when a person dressed for one person,not a family of four.Emulating prison inmate fashions unfortunately would be another 15yrs from this interview.This is great to watch but I do get spooked by it some.Love you Nancy.
robert pich Sid looks so healthy considering heroin.
They all look very uncomfortable especially Sid.
Disciple of Christ it’s because the interviewers are boring
Sid hated interviewing
Shy.very shy.
Theyre all probably high or clucking, being either with a camera in your face whilst having to sit still cant be easy. Hehe
Nancy was and always will be a badass! All love to Nancy. She lived her own life.
pure rubbish mate
she was a fucking drug addict who helped steer sid down a path which inevitably killed him
A friend of mine got into a fight with Sid in a London pub ...he said Sid was being encouraged by McClaren who was in the background..he said McClaren immediately got on the phone to get journalists along and make a news incident out of it..I clearly remember McClaren maximising on Sid's tragic end..within a week he was producing T shirts and images of Sid pogoing on a hypodermic in cartoon form...John Lydon was so upset at the way his friend was used..have a look at 'the filth and the fury' and you'll see Lydon's emotional recollection of all of that awful puppeting of Sid's demise..at the end of it two 20 year olds lives were wasted
L
I hate Malcolm McLaren. Evil old perv.
I remember McLaren at the time of Sid's death describing it as 'unfortunate'.
Cold and callous, a real user.
McClaren was his MK Ultra handler FOR SURE!!
McLaren and Westwood are both pieces of dirt who completely washed their hands of any wrongdoing in this scenario because once Nancy was dead it was blame Sid's mother. The pantomime those two made of that poor girls murder and Sid's arrest and eventual overdose is one of the most disgusting things I've ever heard.i see two kids resilient kids in this video trying to do what they love while nursing a heavy drug addiction and no where to turn. May they both rest in peace.
@@pk6810 I second that!
Stiv was killed in Paris in June 1990 after being hit by a taxi, he died a day later
Ray Dodge Yeah, he thought he was okay and didn't see a doctor. I read on Wikipedia that his wishes were to be cremated and have his ashes spread on Jim Morrison's grave, which his girlfriend honored. I don't know if it's true or not, but it's an awesome story.
@@RayFromLUCKYSHADOW How incredibly lucky that Stiv was run over in Paris right next to the crematorium so his wish could come true?!
Love it when shit comes together like that ~ kismet :-) PMSL
Stiv was very talented (Dead Boys and Lords of the New Church) were great bands. I wish he had stayed at the hospital after getting hit.
This is as legendary as it gets.
I think it's so shitty to blame Nancy for Sids addiction! As he was growing up his mother wasn't adverse to nodding out, sprawled across two mattresses on the living room floor, with a syringe hanging out of her arm just in time for a seven year old Sid coming home from school! At least Nancy really loved him, however dysfunctional the relationship they had was, she cared! Nancy hated Sids mother so much, she'd physically chase her from the door when she came to visit. The reason being, was that Sid's mum brought clean syringes and juju bees in a giant bag! That was the depth of her motherly love for Sid!... Nancy genuinely cared for Sid, he was the happiest he'd ever believed he could be with Nancy!! The devastation & sense of loss he felt when Nancy was killed, shows just how much he care for her!!! Just because two people are involved in a co dependent/drug dependent relationship, does not mean they have no real human emotions towards each other!!
What are Juju Bees?
I love this. Its crazy though how things would play out for the three of them after this interview. That would be an interesting movie in and of itself. What I see in this are young kids flying by the seat of they’re pants. Sid “How should I know? I just live day by day”. Ahhh to be young. This is brilliant, haunting, beautiful, and nostalgic, all in one. Bless you kids 🤘❤️🤘❤️🤘❤️🤩
"I just like to say hello to my mother"
Also, Nancy was a boss. A straight badass. Checking all these bitches. She looks and sounds fantastic here.
50 yrs later I still love Sid
thank you for this upload
Interviewer: "how do you see the scene between here and england?"
Stiv: "I can't it's too far away for me to see, lots of water in between"
Totally went over the interviewers head with that one lol classic Bators lol
Like "Where are you going from here?" Stiv: "Back to Chelsea hotel, I guess!"
@@Heatfarmer Reminds me of a press conference the media had when the Beatles first arrived in the US. A reporter asks John Lennon, "That hairstyle, where did it come from?" John replies, "Me scalp."
@@NSHM122 Or the other classic : "So, how did you find America?" "We turned left at Canada"
Sid vVcious is ok sex pistols!,but please don't kill the cats,and,jynk heerioin
@@JamesSmith-og6zv no ,mate,you are absolutely wrong, hi did fly from Toronto, Canada
God bless you for this. I'm watching fascinated. History.
Yeah, it's a reminder of just how shitty everything is today with all the commercial, corporate tv shows and music..this was when it was all reall
They were just kids, that's sad but very brave in a way.
Some of those questions and callers...a 70s time capsule! They were both so young when they died. Punk rock was quite revolutionary, as much an attitude and energy than anything else.
This is pure gold, time capsule stuff! Live t.v. really needs to make a comeback. I'm jamming 475-1550 with my auto redial but can't get through...Everyone looks relatively young & healthy, hard to believe Nancy was dead a few weeks later.
People always dis on Nancy for her "fake" British accent. I lived in England for 10 years and when i came home, people said i had a "fake" accent. In reality, when you are surrounded by people who speak that way daily , it just rubs off. I heard kids in the UK who lived in the US for a while coming back saying the word "like" every other word and sounding like some valley girl from California. I have even known people who moved say to southern states and wound up with a bit of a southern draw. IT HAPPENS!
I remember religiously watching Skins as a teen and thinking in my head with a British accent lol as dumb as the show was.
Komfy Koala skins was sick man
@@chief6078 Lol.
EXACTLY.
That's true..you naturally just blend in...
Nancy & Sid look great on this show. They come across with The perfect mix of sass, youth, humour and attitude. It’s so gutting they didn’t stay alive, I often wonder what they’d think of today’s world?? It also shows how cruel and fake the media can be.....Nancy isn’t nauseating at all.....far from.
She was bright!
"We are against fascism." Nancy. (35 min).
Who knew Sid was so shy
I did because I followed their every utterance when I was a kid
I really appreciate being able to watch this excellent little gem.. Thank you Efrom Allen.
( I wonder if he ever hooked up with Francesca ? : ) )
Thanks! must of been amazing to be part of this scene!
This is so New York City public access TV from my memories there in that city in the 90's, but this was even earlier, in the 70's, in a word, awesome
So Sad ..... Sid was my hero growing up still is .. he and Nancy Stiv and Cynthia just were so honest unlike the boot lickers we have on TV now RIP
Sad that people are always trashing Nancy & calling her filthy names. She was diagnosed as schizophrenic at the age of 15. Was born with her umbibical cord around her neck, which made for a difficult birth. She was only 20 when she died, Sid 21, they were kids who loved each other...
I agree. No one liked her and said she was loud but she was just different! She had balls! In my opinion I think she killed herself, Sid was so out of it he didn't do it and she had a death wish to die before she is 21 and she was soon to be 21-
MissTaiSah I agree or someone else killed her....
thank you for making us stop to think i never realised she was so young.she looked so much older (probs the heroin and the like,but lest we judge,but for the grace of GOD go i )
+mark jones I agree she did look older probably because she was living like an adult since 14
+Randy's Favorites yeh you're right as she had lots of enemies
Absolutely love this interview of sid and Nancy stiv and cynthia, all lovely people 🖤xx
Interesting. Thanks for the upload!!!
xoxo The Clarences
best "my way"EVER!!!!
The interviewer on the left looks like Andy Kauffman
Lol I thought the same thing!!! Awesome piece of footage :)
I thought the same thing
I’m not sure it’s not Andy was whack
He reminds me of Ted Bundy actually.
@@Queen-of-Swords SAME
He totally does
This is probably the holy grail of any footage of Sid.
This video has really made me see Nancy in a new light!
Man I wish I'd been around at this time
Laura Plant well yeah, me too, I was born mid 80s so 70s is before my time,.
@@desertrose1226 I was around at this time but on this date I was just 7years old...too young to be around there...
@@nicknasty14 Exactly. We could be glad that our childhood was in the 70s or 80s and I was many times in England in the 80s but where do you come from?
@Paul Spencer 👍
I was,but didn't know about this group,was into pat benatar,,, now,if they where interviewing Queen, now that's a different story.
Love the way Nancy dodges "Best Bassist" when listing Sex Pistols' accolades. Classic.
I noticed that too.
LEGEND!!! R.I.P. Sid. FOREVER YOUNG ❤️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧
Callee - "Hi I'd like to ask Sid a question"
Nancy answers the question
Sid's response to the lady that asked if he was seeing Peter Frampton's girlfriend was great! Haha
What time is that at?
@@camillegomez5989 around 38:50
Always loved Sids my way parody.
"Several months later Stiv was hit by a car in London and died the following day"... June 1990 - that is a lot of several months.
Not London. Paris.
Loved the Deadboys. They reminded me of Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Wonder why they didn't age? Will check it out. Thanks for posting! This was awesome. Sid was such a sweet guy.
